Th program provided for the en trance of tho Supreme Court, the House and other bodies at specified Intervals, from 11:30 to noon, leading up to tho actual ceromonlea While the Supremo Court was being an nounced and the sombre-robed Jus tices, accompanied by the officers of tho court, found large leather chairs placed along the front row of the cha/mber, facing the Vice-President, and at his right, tho diplomatic corps, brilliantly arrayed in full stato cos tume, assembled In tho outside corri dor proiwtred to outer In a body. When the Supreme Court was an nounced, Chief Justlco Whlto leading tho procession entered tho Senate chamber, followed by Associate Jus tices Lamar, Hughes, McKonna, Holmes. Ijurton, Day, Van Devanter and Pltnoy. The representatives of foreign na tions came next, headed by Ambassa dor Jusserand, of Prance, dean of tho diplomatic corix* in the absence of the voncrablo B&Ton Hencelmul lor, tho Ambassador of Austria, who Is absent from his post on leave and Is not to Tcturn. The Rt. Hon. James Bryco, tho British. Ambassador, was next, fol lowed in order of seniority by Count Van HernsborfT, the Ambassador from Germany; Youesouf Zln Pacha, tho Ambassador from Turkey; the (Marquis Ousarit Conflilomei-j, the Ambassador from Italy; Senor De (lama, the Ambassador from Brazil; George Bakhmateff, tho Ambassador from Russia; the Viscount Chinda, Ambassador from Japan, and follow ed by tht ministers and their suites Ifrom Portugal, Bolivia, Salvador, Netherlands, Venezuela, Switzerland, GreeCO, China, Spain, Ecuador, Nor way, Nlcaraugua, Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay, CThMle. Belgium, Haiti, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Pero, Sweden, Slam, Colombia. Hon duras, Denmark, Panama, and Persia. The ambassadors and ministers have seats immediately behind the space rosorvod for the Cabinet. Meanwhile the House of Represen tative.;, formed in double line down the Ions; corridor toward the House wing of tho Capitol, and accompanied by tho members-elect soon to take places In tho next Congross, marched slowly to the Senate door, and, head ed by Speakor Clark, for whom a seal had been placed on the rostrum at the left of Senator Galllnger, . as President pro tempore of tho Senate, found seats reserved on the west side of tho chamber, the ea.it being held for Senators and others. Other places reserved in the cham ber were for Admiral Dewey and his aide; Major General Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the Army, and his aide, and officers of tho army and navy, who by name have received the thanks of Congress. Among these were Heal Admiral Peary, the dis tinguished Artie explorer. When this part of tho program was carried out the next move was to escort the President, President-elect and Vice President-elect to the chamber. Tho two most consjrlcuous seats in the chamber were reserved for Mr. Wil son and Mr. Marshall, both of which faced the presiding officer, Mr. Wil son's in the front row to the right of the main aisle, and Mr. Marshall's to the left. Seats for the Cabinet and the Committee on Arrangements were close by. With the entrance of President Taft and President-elect Wilson at the main door of the Sonate, escorted by the Committee on Arrangements, and the entrance ol Mr. Marshall and Senatoar Galllnger, elso oscorted by the same committee, the stage was set for the Inauguration of tho new VIce-President. First In the order of tho proceed ings was the administering of the oath of office to VIce-President Mar shall. Arising from his seat among the Senators, the now Vice-President was escorted to tho Senate rostrum, to the right of tho presiding officer. The ofllco of Vlce-Prosident being vacant by the death of James S. Sherman, the administration of tho onth to the new Vlce-Presiment fell to the lot of Senator Galllnger. This was a brief coromony, followed with impressive silence as the oath was slowly repeated by tho new official, standing with up-raised hand. Vlco-Presldent Marshall had now l>een formally Installed as the presid ing officer of the Senate. This much accomplished, the Senate of the 62d Congross adjourned slno dio to reorganize Immediately as the new Senate of tho 6.1rd Congress, with Its new presiding officer directing Its affairs. A prayer by the Chaplain of the Senate was the first formal action of the newly organized Senate. With this solemn function over, Vice-Presl dent Marshall delivered his Inaugural oddrose. It remained only to complete the organization of the new Senate by administering the oath to Senators ro-olected or newly elected to the body. The returning Democratic Sena tors to take the oath wer?.: Bank head, of Alabama, Bacon, of Georgia; Simmons, of North Carolina; Owen, of Otolahlma; Till man, of South Carolina; Sheppard, of Texas, and Martin, if Virginia. Tho re-eloctod Republicans were: Borah, of Idaho; Kenyon, of Iowa; Nolson. of Minnesota, and Warren, of Wyoming. Tho now Democratic members If tho body were John T. Pobinson, of Arkansas; John F. Shafrithfl if Col orado; William Saulsbury, of Dela ware; William H. Thompson, of Kansas; OUlo M. James, of Ken tucky; Joseph E. Ransdell, of Louis iana; James V. Vardman, of Missis sippi; Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana; William Hughes, of Now Jersey; Harry Lane, of Oregon; and John K. Shields, of Tennessee. Tho now Republicans " ire: Edwin C. Burleigh, of Main John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts. 3eorge W. Norrls, of Nebraska; L. B. Colt, of Ithodo Island, and Thomas Sterling, of South Dakota. At this point tho inaugural oero monies passed from the stage of quiet and soJomnity of the Senate chamber to one full of color and ani mation as the out-door exercises of administering the oath to the new President began at the east front of the Capitoi. In tho shadow of tho great dome an Immense stand to hold thousands had been erected. At the front and center of this vast stage were arranged the seats for Presi dent Taft and President-elect Wilson. Chief Justice White, about to admin ister the oath of olllce, was seated at tho rlfcht of the President-elect. Flanking this central group were the Associate Justices of tho Supreme Court, the Vice-President, Senators and former Senators. Back of them were ranged tho members of the House of Representatives and the ambassadors and ministers of for eign nations. In groups hero and there were Governors of states, many of them with their showy staffs of military and civil officials. Members of the retiring cabinet, officers of the army and navy, and representatives of the various branches of the federal government also had their places on the broad platform. Facing the inaugural platform a dense crowd of spectators packed the wide plaza and struggled for van tage point, while further back the long lines of military and civic or ganizations took pfosiftion to await the formation of the parade. With this setting or animation all attention was directed to the two central figures of the assemblage? the President-elect about to take the oath o foffice, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, ready to ad minister the oath. These two, rising from their seats, stood together at the center of the platform, the Chief Justice with the Bible open In his hands, tho President-elect with up lifted right hand. Slowly the Chief Justice repeated the oath as it Is prescribed by the Constitution: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will vo tho best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of tho United States." Tho President-elect repeated the oath word for word, and kissed the open Bible. It was over. A new President had come into office. At tho moment of conclusion of the oath, a Presidential salute of twenty one gunms boomed out the news that a now Chief Executive had been In augurated. Tho Prc8ldeut at once began his inaugural address. At the conclusion of the Inaugural address, tho program called for the Senate to return to its Chamber, either to confirm appointments or adjourn to a inter day, while the lhmse stands adjourned to the date of the extra session to he called by tho new President. At the head of the inaugural procession the Presi dent rode back to the White House to review tho pageant and ibegln the duties of his office. Or Any Other Month.

To the People of Laurens: The hospitality of the people of j Laurens is appreciatively known throughout the country. But their generosity in this respect, so cordial ly extended to the teachers of the county at their last meeting is emi nently worthy of special mention. Contributing ;?s it did, not only to the social convenience and comfort of the teachers, but through them to the educational interest and progress of tho county, their kindly deed of thoughtfulness has placed their many guests under lasting obligation. There fore, In behalf of the teachers of the county, we ask this opportunity of thus publicly expressing our sincere thanks and hearty appreciation to the citizens of Laurens for the thoughtful and hospitable manner In which they entertained us during our meetings Friday and Saturday. To our efficient school officers also we feel under obligations for their contribution to our interest and pro fit. Sincerely, W. P. Culbertson, President. Good Fishing In Galilee. Bible Btudents may be interested to know that there la still good fishing in the Sea of Galilee. Dr. Ernest W. Gur ney Masterman, who has practiced medicine in Galilee, made a special study of the fishes found there and In a recent book says that he found 43 varieties, twice as many as can be found in tho British Isles. The fisher men are taxed a fifth of the value of the fish caught, the revenue going partly to the sultan and partly to a pasha In Damascus. Thought for Women.
