young men of that age, he was oblig- j,
ed to stop for a time now and then t
and earn the money with which to 11
pursue his college course. At one ,
' o
' time we find him cutting corn. At an- .
*
* other, painting his neighbors' barns. ^
| At still another, driving a team and
helping to grade the roadbed of the , v
T. & O. C. Railroad, which was then | f
building through that community. At1 *
% the age of seventeen we find him!e
teaching a district school, and "toot- c
ing a horn" in the "brass band" of j h
the village. One of his fellow musi- i h
r dans, who is now at the head of a ^
jLgreat manufacturing concern, and who *
- - - v,
^Sh&s since sat with him on various "
boards of directors, recounts that the *
band once took the third prize at
tournament; and he adds that 'should
Senator Harding be elected President b
<of the United States it would not i
cause ,him half the pride which he felt j'\
on that occasion when we came homeJ t
with the third prize for our musical! 1
proficiency.' ! s
"At odd times he worked -in the; o
little printing office in the village, r
He seemed to love the odor of printers'
ink and to have a passion for i
everything pertaining to a newspaper o
office, even down to the minutest de- b
tail of the mechanical equipment He c
? ^ ?? 1 L..J 4
became an expert typesetter vy uuu, ?
?nd when the linotype was first intro- f
duced he learned to operate the ma- c
chine. He is a practical pressman, \
job printer, and as a make-up man b
has few equals. The 'luck piece' he f
carries as a Senator of the United
States is the old printer's rule he used F
when he was yet 'sticking type.'" g
A friend recalls an incident which is s
offered as illustrative of Senator }
^ Harding's character. Entering the a
office of the Marion (Ohio) Star, of d
which the Senator is the publisher? a
jone New-year's morning, he found the f

tory goes: a
" 'A great Senator you are,' said h
he visitor. ^
" 'I'd be a great Senator if I didn't j.
now anything else,' he replied, exending
a welcoming hand. 'You see.'
le added, 'this is a holiday, and we *
/ant to go to press as early as possi- F
ile and let the boys get out and enjoy
hemselves; so I am just lending a t
lelping hand.'
"When the task was finished they
eent up to the editorial sanctum, 0
roni which the rambling of the press ^
n the basement could be heard. Presntly,
as they chatted, the rumbling 0
eased. The inevitable, which always 0
laums a iiewopapci vmvc m uic xux>u

lastened to the pressroom, and with
rained eye located the trouble that c
lad interfered with the operation of 0

lers again began toi move. i a
"This same mastery of details has a
een a characteristic of Mr. Harding *
n every sphere of his active life. 1
Vhen he purchased his first automi- *
lile he would not rest until he had ?
earned to manipulate it with the

STACKLEY-TYSON WEDDING
I^opnlar Florence Ouple United in
Bonds of Wedlock.
Florence, June 12.?The lovely home
of Mr. and Mrs. George Stackley on
West Palmetto street, Florence, was
the scene of a beautiful wedding on
Weacesday, June 9; when the;r daughj
ter, Agnes Georgie, waf given in marriage
t<t William Brooks Tyson.
The. entire" lower floor of the SDa
y this supreme desire of his young
.mbition, lent his credit in assisting
dm in taking it over?the consideraion
being only the assumption of its
ndebtedness. The county was then
)emocratic, and this paper not even
he official organ of the minority
?arty.
"With the enthusiasm of youth, and
he inspiration of one who has his
oot upon the first rung of the ladder
f his ambition, the young man bent
lis energies to the tStsk of making The
>tar a beacon-light which should shine
iut of the darkness, and to lift it
,nt of the Henths of all but bankruptcy
ind give it a financial standing above
eproach.
"He lived with it day by day, and
rftentime far into the night. Hq
reamed of it. At times he performed
very function from "devil" to managing
editor. Thorny was the road
.nd sometimes the coffers were so deleted
that it was necessary to request
advertisers to make advance
ayment of bills in order to keep the
nterprise afloat But the story of
iow it grew and expanded, ultimately
utgrowing and taking over its competitor
is too long to be written here,
t is the same story of love, devotion,
nergy, resourcefulness, and deteimitation
winning against all odds and
oming out triumphant in the encL
"The Star today is a prosperous,
noney-making plant. It could mot be
mrchased at any price. There has
tever been a strike or a threatened
trike in The Star office. His emiloyees
found hftn always liberal and
ver generous, and they love him as a
irother. After he had established
us paper on a firm foundation he
rganized a stock company, distribuing
shares to each of his employes,
nd he and they still own it.
"Mr. Harding is closely identified
nth many large business enterprises.
Since he took over The Star, Marion
Las grown from a country town of
our thousand inhabitants to a flours-ling
city of thirty thousand, and he
;as been a prime factor in this indusrial
development. He has been a
booster' for every new industry which
ias locater there, taking shares of
tock in each to the limit of his abiliy.
Because of his recognized busiless
sagacity he has been made, at
ne time or an other, a member of the
' |
>oard of Directors of most of these
nterprises, lending his counsel and
;dvjce, and in turn gathering much
aluable information concerning the
iifficulties which beset the various
ines of industry. He is at present
l director of a bank, director of several
large manufacturing plants, and
s also a trustee of the Trinity Bapisl
Church, of which he is a member,
ind upon whose services he is a regilar
attendant when in the city. Howver,
we are told, he has managed to
pet out of town often enough to see a
fVin tirnrM
"Durring the last score of years
Senator Harding has been three
i es abroad, visiting most of the Eur
opean countries, not on pleasure
xmt, but to study at close range their
ystems of government and the ecolomic
problems with which we have
o deal?such as the tariff, the standird
of wages paid to labor in the (liferent
countries, and the varied conditions
surrounding their mode of life;
>ut always he has returned with a
leeper love for his own land and a
'inner conviction that its form of
government is the best which - was
:ver devised by man.
"After his election to the United
States Sanate, and before taking his
;eat, he visited the Hawiian Islands
? get some first-hand information
lpon the production and distribution
>f sugar. He has spoken many times
n almost every State of the Union,
iddressing now a wool-growers' association,
now a farmers' institute,
low a convention of steel and irorn
nasters, and now an association of
niners or of railroad employes, or a
:ombination of laborers from some
ither branch of industry, thus familarizing
himself with the needs of
>very section, and with the thought
ind hopes and aspirations of all classes
and' conditions of men. Having
limself climbed the ladder from the
owest rung, he has given an attentive
tar and careful thought to the claims
tnd problems of men in every station
>f life.
"Mr. Harding has twice represented
he Thirteenth Senatorial District of
)hio in the State legislature, served
>ne term as lieutenant-governor, reusing
to stand for reelection; and he
s now nearing the close of his first
erm as United States Senator from
)hio."

cious home was thrown open en suite,
and artistically decorated with Shasta
daisies and banks of tall palms and
ferns.
<iiUKt preceding ihe ceremony, which
took place at half after 5 o'clock, a
charming musical program was rendered.
Miss Lola Lawrence beautifully
sang two vocal numbers?"For
You Alone," and "Beauty's Eyes"?
accompanied by Miss Jessie Gregg
with the violin.
The dainty little flower girls, Audrey
and Oliver Pendergrass, entered
from opposite doors. They were
dressed in fairy like costumes
of accordion pleated organdie and
carried baskets tied with yellow tulle
and filled with Shasta daisies.
The petite ring bearer, Marion Lee
McCown, dressed in accordion pleated
white organdie with a silver band
across her long black curls, preceded
tiie bride, carrying, the ring in a long
stemmed lily.
To the strains of the wedding march
from "Lohengrin," the bride entered
the drawing room with her sister,
Mrs. E. W. Hurst, of Conway, as dame
of honor, where she was met in front
of a bank of palms and fern? by the
bridegroom and his best man, W. G.
Kirkl and.
The bride was never lovilier than
in her going-away suit of navy blue
trico'tine with harmonizing accessories
of brown. She carried a shower bouquet
of bride roses and lilies of the
valley.
Following the ceremony, a charming
reception was tendered the friends
of the bridal couple.
The popularity of the young couple
was attested by the elaborate display
of handsome presents, not the least
of which was the deed to a choice lot
on the "Circle," the gift of the bride's
parents.
The happy couple left on an evening
train for a trip to Norhtren
cities. On their return, they will be
at home to their friends at 423 W.
