THE OHIO SENATOR CHOSEN ON TENTH BALLOT AFTER FAV ORITES ARE FORCED OUT i Warren G. Harding, United States, senator from Ohio, was nominated for the Presidency Saturday at Chicago, "W fay the Republican national conven Afior.. after a deadlock which lasted for! sme ballots, and which finally forced out of the running all the original favorites. As his running mate, the convention named Gov. Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts. Biography of the Nominee "Senator Harding has been compared to the late President McKinley," says the Washington Post, quoting "a prominent Ohio Republican" who happened to be in the capital. "The comparison is excellent Harding is of the McKinley type?safe, sound, courageous, and always ready to listen to counsel." A bulletin etitled "Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio," has lately come from the press. It takes up in some details the Ohio candidate's career ?1 akAiit which, as the I III! pciWMin/, I I ? introduction mentions, it is proper for | the public to know "when a man isi put forth by those who believe in him as a candidate for high office." To quote frorm this bulletin: f "Warren G. Harding, United States Senator from Ohio, was born on his grandfather's farm, where his father resided, just outside the village of ^Blooming Grove, Morrow County, WOhio, November 2, 1865. He was the eldest of eight children, some of whom have achieved more than ordinary distinction; one in medicine, one as a ^ public-school instructor, and one as a ^missionary in a foreign field. "He is the son of George T. Harding, then the young village doctor, who found no night too dark and dreary and no journey too long to trarvel the almost impassible roads of that day to go to the relief of a suffering patient, however poor and unable to pay for the services rendered. "The Hardings are of good old Colonial stock, coming originally from Scotland, settling first in Connecticut, i?ter to the Wyoming Val 4VUW V ***0 ? _ ley, Pa., where some of them were massacred and others fought in the Sevolotianary War. The mother of Warren, Phoebe Dickerson, was descended from an old-time Holland \Dutch family, the Van Kirks; so that in Warren G. Harding is found the blending of the blood of the hardy Holland Dutch and the fearless, alert, and liberty-loving Scotch. The country round about was mostly woodland w when Warren was born. His grandfather owned a small tract of land & and was neither better nor worse off B than his neighbors. They were all B engaged in cutting away the timber W and transforming a primitive forest F into cultivated farms. In those early ' days every child must contribute his share of toil in overcoming the obstacles of nature in this transforming process. As Warren grew up, he learned to fell trees, chop wood, split (rails, plant and hoe corn, and do all things incident to farm life when crops were raised between roots and ' stumps, and the labors of the farm were ^rformed by hand. He early Vmhit of industry. ?C4ullCU M.V ?? "No fabled goddess hovered over the chamber when he was born. He was just a natural, healthy, robust boy, of humble but honest and pious parentage, endowed with the supremest gifts of nature?good, hard, common sense, a rugged constitution, a sunny disposition, and a heart full of the milk of human kindness. "It was not all toil in those days, V. fed Warren delighted in all the coun^ try and village sports. None better than he loved to haunt the old swimr , ming-pool in Whetstone Creek, which ran near by, and none could dive deepY^er or swim farther. Among his school fellows on the village green he was a prime favorite and the leader of the gang. At sixteen he was a 4k man both in stature and in strength; the older boys dared not bully him, (Continued on Page 4 Column 3.) ; In Pr , Haddock-Vause. One of the prettiest weddings that has ever taken place in this part of the State was solemnized at old Union Church, Thursday evening, June 10, at 7:30 o'clock, when Miss Lena Haddock became the bride of Mr. Edwrad M. Vause, of Kingstrec. The church was beautifully decorated to represent a garden scene. Beginning at the front door an arbor exteded to the pulpit and on across the entire church. This arbor was au wrapped in white and covered with southern s mil ax and ivy. On each post up the entire aisle and across the pulpit were pink candalabrums each containing four brilliantly lighted candles which added much to the lovely decorations. The chancel was also covered with white, and beautiful ferns and white hydrangias furnished a background for this lovely scene. A large pink basket of ferns and carnations was suspended by masses of tulle just above where the bride and groom stood. A double white gate tied with pink and green ribbon was placed just at the front of the chancel and was opened by two little girls as the bridal party entered. Before the ceremony a mimical program was given. Mrs. Lamar Johnson sweetly sang, "At Dawning" and "A Dream." Then "Until" was very impressively rendered by Mrs. G. E. Greer. The accompaniments were played by Miss Emmie Snow. Just after this, Mr. Baker Wilson sounded the first strains of the "Wedding March" from Lohengrin, which was the signal for the bridal party to begin. "Traumerie" was played during the ceremony. First to enter were the little gate openers. Little Eda Phell Richardson, dressed in green organdie, and Margie Altman, in pink. Next came the ush' ers, Messrs. Lei and Thomas, with Johnnie McLaulin, of Andrews, and Mr. Oglesby, of Florence with Jim Vause, of Kingstree.

I The bride, a lovely brunette, was never more beautiful than on this occasion.
