1881. Came to Yorkville on the Gath
day Of March, 1852, and married Ann
OFarrell on February %, 1859. She
died on November 80. 1895. Seven liv-
ing children-six daughters and one
son. He was a brick and stone mason,
and an honest workman"
Mr.. Cody went into the Confederate
service shortly after the breaking out
of hostilities and served through the
war as member Of Company A, 18th
South Carolina Volunteers. He never
held a commission; but the testimony
Of his comrades was that he never
shirked a duty, and he made an ideal
soldier.
During the entire period Of his active
life in Yorkville, extending up to his
practical retirement about ten years
back, Mr.. Cody had more or less con-
nection with the construction Of nearly
every building that included brick or
plastering in its materials. He helped
to build the old Kings Mountain rail-
road depot, the Kings Mountain Mill
tary school building, the Presbyterian
church, the Springs Moore and Adickes
buildings on the corner of Congress
and Liberty streets, and other land
marks Of the town, and as stated in the
notes quoted above, all his work was
straight and honest.
Although his life was highly credi-
table one from the standpoint Of Chris
tian Standards he neglected to connect
himself with any UNCONVENTIONAL or
ganization. He was, however, an en-
thusiastic Mason, and at the time OF
his death was just entering upon his
49th year as tiler Of Philanthropic
Lodge No. 80. A. F. NJ, Yorkville. He
was proud of his record in the Lodge,
and was held in the fondest esteem BY
all his brother Masons.
The names Of the living children re-
ferred to above are: Misses Jennie,
Minnie, Kate, Ella and Florence, Mrs.
w. E. Ferguson and Mr.. George Cody.
All the daughters live in Yorkville, and
the son lives In Bear. Oklahoma.

nine leading premiums offered to club
makers yet. There are several club
makers who are already certain to get
one of the nine; but 1t is by no means
certain as to who is going to win out
with the leading premiums.
Of 299 expired subscriptions discon-
tinued previous to the mailing Of the
last issue Of The Enquirer, 9S have
been returned in time to get back on
the mailing list for today's issue. 1t Is
quite evident that most of these names
were discontinued only because they
had not been previously asked for their
renewals, and the return of such a
large per centage Of them in so short a
time is extremely gratifying to the pub
fishers.

the best informed people everywhere
have come to recognize as an undisput-
able fact-that the moving picture Is
one Of the most powerful educational
forces ever known. The producers Of
the moving picture films are ransack-
ing the literature Of the world, from the
Bible down for material, and searching
also the uttermost parts Of the earth.
In connection with this tney are spend
ing millions Of dollars and are sparing
no expenditure Of intellect, or research
in giving the public what it wants. The
movies furnish amusement, entertain
ment and instruction, and to certain
extent give the men and women who
never have the opportunity to leave.
home all advantages Of the folks who
have the money and time to enable
them to see the world. OF course the
movies are susceptible to abuse. just
as is the case with the printed page
and the pulpit; but Of their power for
uplift provided they are used that way.
there can be no question.

Bachelors often remain bachelors
because women are spendthrifts, and
many women are spendthrifts because
women colleges fail almost completely
in training their students for the prob
lens Of life" declared DR.. Carolyn Gel
sell of Shorter college, Rome, Ga. in an
address before the National Conference
on Race Betterment at Grand Rapids
Mich, Friday. "Women's schools are
inefficient because they fail to prepare
women either for livelihood or mother
hood" she continued. Graduates come
out Of women's schools physical wrecks
with a valueless flood Of useless infor-
nation and penchant for fashions
which leaves them as nearlv nude as
the law will allow. The average bill of
fare alone at girls schools Is enough to
drive the students to bonbons and
rarebits."

When the national banking

When the national banking law
went into effect as a war measure,
the financial powers that were then,
fought the proposition bitterly and
tried to make a fortune Of it. But
the government exerted itself and up
held its pet idea, and very soon the
dividends were great enough to make
even the capital stock look insignifi-
cant. Many Of the great financial
giants Of today look with dispair on
the present innovation, but we are
looking to see history repeat itself.

Pass Christian Miss, January 10:
Nearly 1000 people residents OF this

Wilson here late today at public re-
ception given especially for them at the
presidential cottage. The guests were
welcomed by the President and Mrs.
Wilson, who stood on the cottage We
randa in the warm, bright sunshlne'
Mr.. Wilson apparently enjoyed the oc-
casion immensely, greeting those who
shook hands with him with cordial
smile. Incidentally it was the first pub
lie reception under the present admin
istration. The president is highly ap-
preciatiVe of the manner in which the
residents of this section have scrupu-
lously observed his desire for seclusion
and rest, and 1t was in recognition or
their courtesy that he rendered the re-
ception on the day before his departure
to Washington. The weather today was
ideal and the air as balmy as spring
day. Automobiles, carriages, ricketty
traps crude farm wagons, dust covered
saddle horses and crowded trolley cars
brought the eager people to the recep-
ton. Pretty girls, aged Confederate
veterans in their gray uniforms, moth
ers carrying their babies and little
children by the score crowded into line
and passed up the steps and met the
president A picturesque figure among
those who shook hands with the presi-
dent was General A. Cox Ford Of Bir-
mingham Ala. who wore resplen-
dent Confederate uniform He left his
card with the president. On the re-
verse side of the card appeared these
words: IF ever disown, repudiate or
apologize for the cause for which Lee
fought and Jackson died, let the light

in the receiving line with the President

Anderson special Of January 9, to
News and Courier: That Clemson col
lege would receive endowments aggre-
eating many millions Of dollars II the
name Of the institution were changed
to Calhoun college and the college plac-
ed wholly under the control Of the state
Of South Carolina, was the statement
made tonight by Capt. John c. Calhoun
man and oldest representative Of the
Calhoun family, who Is visiting friends
here. He said that such an arrange
ment could be brought about by the
annulment Of the contract Of the state
accepting the Clemson bequest, by
which the Fort Hill property would re-
vert to Mrs. F1oride Lee Calhoun, wife
Of Andrew Pickens Calhoun, of San
Antonio, Texas, lawful heir of the late
Thos. G. Clemson. He said that she
would deed the property back to the
money sufficient to make the transfer
legal He said that money would be
no object with Mrs Calhoun, the heir.
that she and all the family connection
would like to see the change Of name
and control purely for sentiments sake
and the institutions good. Capt. CAL
houn, who retired from active business
some time ago and who has since lived
in London and New York, says that he
has known Of several instances where
the college would have received larger
endowments but for the fact that the
college bore the name Of another than
John C. Calhoun, although 1t was stu
ated on the Calhoun home place and
because the college was controlled by
set or trustees representing an indi-
Wdual and not the state. He is closely
associated with the philanthropists of
the east, who are giving large sums for
education, and while he is personally
giving to the education Of poor children
in the mountains Of the Carolinas, heN
says he feels sure that Clemson col
lege would come in for large share of
the endowments Capt Calhoun states
that he Is here merely to visit his old
home, that he does not care to stir up
any big agitation for the change Of
name and government Of the college
but makes these statements knowing
that the college and South Carolina
would be greatly benefited thereby.

PARIS, Nov. >4-One hundred and

thirty thousand" forty thousand
and from there up to "a hundred
and thirty thousand prisoners:
snch are the stories circulating In
Paris from today. added to many
others equally startling during the
days that preceded. and which will
no doubt be followed by Others even
more sensational, as long as the cen
sor keeps the public hungering for
authentic news. =
One effect Of so many false rumors
is to make the truth sometimes sus-
pected. On the other hand they
throw so much uncertainty about
news in general as to make serious
newspaper men occasN onalIy doubt as
to the handling Of some reports that
in normal times would be dismissed
summarily.
Recently an authenticated report,
through a reliable agency, came from
Antwerp concerning the death of
Prince gAdalbert from German bull
let wound. Though the name Of q
prominent Brussels surgeon was
given IN connection with the names
of two German surgeons who aided
him In forming an autopsy on the
Prusslan prince, Paris papers hest
tated to handle It; as to the Ameri-
can correspondent, they are. still I'M
certain whether the story got past
