Here's an eminently deserved
compliment to Editor Hemphill
which comes all the way from
the little town of Pennington,

bright and newsy weekly visitor
to this office:
Editor James G. Hemphill, of
the Charleston News and Courier,
has been secured to deliver next
year lectures on journalism in
the Bromley course at Yale. We
regard this as a wise choice.
Mr.. Hemphill is a thoroughly
representative southern news
paper man and has made the
News and Courier the great
newspaper of it's section as well
as one of the great ones of the
United States. He stands for
high ideals and is splendidly
qualified to deliver lectures that
will be of interest, value and
helpfulness.

negro, nephew of the late Bishop
Isom c. Clinton, and deserves
great credit for his advancement
in life and for what he is doing
for the moral and spiritual bet

to his address before the New
Jersey Conference, a Newark
special in Sundays Charlotte
Observer says:
Bishop Clinton spoke of the
friends of the negro race, both
North and South, urging that
the ministers put forth an effort
to retain this friendship. He
spoke of the friendly relation
existing in the South between
the races, and all he had to say
for the South were words of
praise. He paid a high tribute
20 the Southern press, saying
that it was ever ready 10 aid the
negro in his efforts to build up.

ton Presented With Nice Pres
ent.
When in town last Saturday
Mr.. William Wick, of the Zion
section. was presented with a
handsome edition of the New
Testiment, by his friend Sheriff
}. p. Hunter, which he grateful
ly appreciates. Mr.. Wick is the
oldest member of the Zion COM
munity. being sixty years of age,
and takes an active interest in
the affairs of his church. He is
man of most abstemious habits.
He has never tasted liquor. nor
has he ever used tobacco in any
form.
Mr.. Wick, by the way, has been
most severely afflicted in his day
and time. When sixteen years old
he had white swelling, which caus-
ed him TO lose bone in his ankle.
Thirty-siX years ago he came
near dying of dropsy, his attend
ing physicians, three in number,
giving him up. He was 80 fear
fully swollen that finally the skin
on nearly every portion of his
body and limbs burst. Within
four hours as much as eight ga
Ions of water was discharged. To
this day Mr.. Wick is marked by
hundreds of scars caused by the
bursting of the skin. He has
been entirely free of dropsy sine e
that terrible attack.

WHERE'S TIE GARDEN OF EDEN?

We notice by the papers that
students of biblical lore and geoio.
gists have struggled and hunted
unsuccessfully for years to locate
the exact spot OF the Garden of
Eden.
Prof. Rogers of the Drew The
logical seminary has it just about
located in the clrcumsrribed region
of the Tigris and Euphrates river,
but offers no evidence to make b
theory stick.
Old Christopher Columbus made
up his mind it was located in
Venezuela This search surely oc-
cupi, d much of the time of the
Middle Ages, but now it is whisp-
cred that Roosevelt has an alright
cinch that tho apple tree which
tempted Eve is located in the
jungles of Africa. while a, ambi-
tious Missourian has it located
near Joplin, if astronomers signs
on the rocks and the theory of as
trological priestcraft counts for
anything.
The Chieftain believes that the
Garden of Eden most have been
located near Holly, probably on
the ground now occupied by the
Holly Sugar Co. Fruit farm, from
the theories advanced by number
of long-haired philosophers.
