BEATS THE RECORD
ONE MAN FATHER OF FORTY
ONE CHILDREN.
He Had Three Wives and Is Now
Only Forty-one Years of Age.
!, Is Of Newberry County.

I.
Columbia, Dec. 19.-The Record
Of yesterday afternoon stated that
Elmer Mayer, Of Newberry county,
who is serving q sentence, in the
penitentiary for completely In the
burning Of barn, is the father
of forty-one children. The man has
practically lived in obscupity, and
the wonderful story came to light
only my chance, and the world might
never have had the knowledge Of
the unusual case of prodigous fam
lily mad not a reporter learned @?
the facts through casual conYer--
sation as he passed through the cap
itol grounds where Mayer Is work
ing with other fellow convicts.
When Mayer began to give q few
facts about his life aud made the
astounding statement that he is the
father OF nearly half hundred
children, the reporter began to sit
up and take notice and few words
of inquiry brought forth the follow
ing remarkable facts:
John Mayer, the hero Of the story,
is forty-ono years of age, and has
lived in Newberry county all his
life. His home is in the country,
No township. He has taken unto
himself as many as three wives,
which also adds another interesting
feature to his life. From the first
marriage 20 children were born, ten
sets of twins. Eighteen children re-
suited from the second union, the
number also being twins, The third
wife, who is now living in Newberry
county, is the mother Of thirteen
children.
The children at birth were all
normal in size and the youngest, a
boy, weighed 1SS pounds at the age
of II years, which is another re-
markable feature of this wonderful
large family of children.
Mayer thought there was nothing
unusually interesting in connection
with his life, so he never told the
president about it, or had his pic
+ture printed in the papers at the
time when Roosevelt's noted re-
marks before the woman's congress
brought forth many stories of large
families to prove that the nations
chief magistrate, was in error when
he uttered his warning against race
suicide. He tolls day by day with
the guards gun always in sight. the
garb of felon about him, con-
stant reminder Of his Violation
against his country's laws, and bear
ing his distinction in silence. I"

Wise Words.
Worry Is half of WEAKNESS.

Worry Is half or WEAKNESS.
Revenge never Is so sweet as when
foregone.
The critical eye remains longe-1
in ignorance.
No man is undone as long as he
has work to do.
You cannot bless men until you
believe in them.
He is lost already to when sarci-
flee appears as folly.
The saddest slavery is that of be-
ing ruled by our pleasures.
The sins we wink at today are
the ones we wed tomorrow.
Spiritually the most hlpless arr
those who refuse to help.
Life barriers that resist all force
crumble before friendship.
The fool is known by offering his
forethough after the event.
Tomorrow's burdens always prove
toe much for today:s back.
You have no right to set up youl
fad as another mans faith.
Keep the heart healthy and hap
piness will take care Of itself.
Nothing heals our own wounds
quicker than helping others.
Men are to be known by thei
aims rather than by their origins.
If you would be far-sighted you
must learn to live on the heights.
Our own sins grow fast behind
our backs while we are gazing at
the faults of our neighbors.
