Two Famous Travelers.
This is about two famous travelers.
Many of the readers of this magazine
spend at least part of their time
'on the road," and they will therefore
>e interested in the following brief
lip into history:
The first professional globe trotter
vas Herodotus, who was born about
184 B. C.
Now, it is a peculiar thing, but as
ong ago as 2,600 years, traveling was
fairly safe occupation for an hon?st
man who minded his own business.
In what traveling I have done, I
tiave always been surprised to note
the hospitality and general spirit of
hplnfnlnpss whici DeoDle extend to
strangers. I have been in several
countries where I did not know a
single wore of the language, and
yet I have never had the slightest
difficulty in getting what I wanted.
In our own country the traveler
fares well,. all things considered.
Notwithstanding crowded hotels, I
have never heard of anyone of
genuity being compelled to sit upfcll
night. 1
More than that, in a considerable
amount of automobile tourpg^have
never missed a me^rtml was hungry
Jr
Therefore, iwis not surprising to
learn that Hmdotus, the first great
historian and reporter, was able to
travel the ancient world with freedom
and comfort. He moved about
the Greek archipelagoes, observing
! and writing; he stayed wherever he
wanted to stay, and as H. G. Wells
observes in his "Outline of History,"
he seems to have found comfortable
accommodation.
He visited Babylon; he toured along
the coast of the Black sea; he went
to Tyre ana Palestine, and made a
long stay in Egypt. We learn from
him and others, that the Egyptian
pyramids, which were then three
thousand years old, were visited by
! hundreds of tourists, much is tncy
are today.
The modern Cook's tourist service
was then performed by a special rank
of priests. Tourists in those days
had a habit of scribbling their names
in public places, a custom which seems
to have passed on even to the present
generation.
Herodotus retired to Athens on the
completion of his travels, where he
wrote his history and became one of
the notables of the city.
About 1,700 years later, another
famous traveler set out from Venice
and visited all the countries of the
far east, including China, Japan, India,
Ceylon?in fact, with the exception
of the North American continent
which was not discovered until
200 years later, he saw nearly the
whole world.
This man was Marco Polo. The
complete story of his travels is contained
in an interesting book, "The
Travels of Merco Polo," which he
wrote upon his return to his native
city. If ycu like travel books you
will enjoy this story of Marco Polo.
It was one of the "big sellers" of the
thirteenth century and in succeeding
man fvanclata^ snrl nnnfaH
CdUUI ICS WOO VI (4IIOIMKVU
in all the European languages.
One of the readers was Christopher
Columbus, who knew the book well.
When he landed in Cuba he thought
it was the Japan which Marco Polo
had described in his book.
Marco Polo began his tour at the
age of seventeen. He accompanied
his uncle, a business man and trader.
He was gone twenty-six years.
The greater part of that time was
spent at the court of the Great Khan,
the ruler of China. The Khan was
a vigorous personality, who liked enterprising
and observing people. He
intrusted Marco Polo with many important
missions which took him to
strange lands, and on his return he
told the Khan of the curious things
he had seen.
On his return to Venice he was in
such great demand as a speaker that
he decided the more efficient way
would be to write his story. This
accomplished during a year which he
was compelled to spend in jail.Like
adventures, Marco Polo did not
let the tale grow any the less in the
telling, but though he was thougnt
to be a great liar at the time and for
sometime afterward, later researches
have proved that the imaginations
of his contemporaries were not elastic
enough to encompass the truth.
Few of us are able to believe until
we see.
That is one of the healthy byjroducts
of travel?it broadens our
minds and our imaginations.?Type

The Right Rev Troy Beatty, bishop
coadjutor cf the Episcopr.l diocese of
Tennessee, and acting head of the
church in the state since 1919, died
st his home in Nashville Sunday
morning following an illness of five
days of double pnuemonia.
The Rev. James M. McManaway,
D. D., one of the best known Baptist
ministers in the South, died in Richmond,
Va^ Sunday. Dr. McManaway
had held pastorates in Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia and Missouri.
He was born in Bedford county,
Virginia, in 1885, and was an
alumnus of Richmond college and of
LouisviDe Theological seminary.
Complete rejuvenation of the state
fair is planned bv the executive committee
of the state fair society, which
met in Columbia last week. A stock
company is tc be formed and the
fair put on an entirely new and business-like
basis with an executive
secretary in active charge.
Intellectual snobbery is as detestable
as social snobbery.
Every man has the impulse to
"break training" now and then.
If you stand up to receive bouquets
don't complain if someone throws a
brick.
