has become necessary TO let her go.
So great has been the change in this
old woman, however, the authorities
here feel that it would kill her to tell
her that her services are no longer
needed. They have decided to let her
work on half time and at reduced
salary if some arrangements can be
made about a room for her.
Only Needs Room
About SIS per month would be re-
ouired if the room were to be rented,
or if some one would donate a room
it would be purchasing a few more
years of happiness to this old woman's
life. The work that she will do in re-
turn for the small salary she will
draw will bc Of untold value to hey
happiness. The Associated Charities
does not feel that it is i'll a position
lust now to undertake the care Of fer
in this way, but would have to place
her in some institution, which, it IS
felt, would be the end Of life for tn :
proud old woman. 1t would be ar
ranged so that she would not know
the room was being given her. Miss
Aileen Shane. secretary of the Asso-
ciated Charities, would be glad to
hear from anybody who is interested
in this nice old woman.

"a "Jimmy Cox Day" in honor of its
distinguished visitor, James NJ. Cox,
former candidate. Of the Democratic
party for the presidency in 1920. A
committee of the Aiken business
league called on him to ask that he

behind him in his, campaign for Chief
Executive Of the United States, and
he has consented to address them pub
licly on a day in March, probably
March 20 or 21. All Aiken county
and the counties adjoining are invit-
ed to hear him. The day will take
the form of a big reception and the
Western newsboy, who has climbed
the heights of fame and achievement
as editor, statesman and orator, will
meet the sons of the party of Jeffer-
son, who will come from all sections
to welcome him.
Governor Cox jdQes not play polo,
but enjoys golf and horseback riding,
and sets apart several hours daily for
his reading. He fiR deeply interested
in Southern history and states that
he got in closer tQpch to the people

COX AND FAMILY
ARRIVE IN AIKEN
To Spend Month at Famous Resort
Discusses Several Matters
in Interview

The State. AZ.
Aiken, March; % james NJ. Cox,
ex-governor of Ok{o and Democratic
presidential candidate in 1920, his
wife ard little daughter, Anna, ar
rived in Aiken this afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock ard will make this place their
home for the remainder of the month
They have rented the Oakley cottage
near the Wilcox hotel.
When interviewed this evening, Mr..
Cox said that he regretted the RAINY
weather which had greeted him in the
South but said that he looked for
more pleasant conditions. He is not
a stranger in the South or in this sec
ton, however. for"he stayed for some
tine ir Augusta in 1920.
Asked s5out the association of ma
tons formed at the conference re-
Gently held in Washington, Mr.. Cox
said that with certain reservations he
did not think the association could do"
snv harm but he emphatically stated,
eyes, it is an alliance and alliances
are what the league of nations wish
ed 10 avoid. 1t seems to me that II
four nations are allied as in the four
power treaty there should be no rea-
son why 81 nations should not be al
lied. AS see it the association as
formed will tend to cause others to
be formed. 1t seems inevitable that
Russia and Germany will have to join
together and the balance Of power
will be brought into play"
Regarding the political situation
Mr.. Cox said in substance that there
was much protestation against the
Republican administration and that
the feeling all over the United States
was that the campaign promises had
not been carried out, ard for the rea-
son that they could not be, carried out
and were impossible when promised.
Asked aoout the congressional cleo
ton this year, Mr.. Cox said that un-
less there was very soon q startling
change in conditions, especially eco
nomic conditions, it was his belief that
congress would be as much Demo
cratic as it is now Republican.
Mr.. Cox said tnat he had noticed
more severe economic condition in
, the South than was prevalent else
where in the United States and said
that he did not believe there would
ne any great relief experienced in this

BRAVE OLD WOMAN, ....l.
HOLDS OWN
Seventy-three Years of Age, but Re-
bellious as Youth at Thought "ot
Being Cared Fer

The State.
Three years ago an old Columbia
woman, Of fine family, but reduced to
poverty and with no means OF sup
port. was Being cared for by the AS
sociated Charities. Left alone with
nothing to do but brood over her fan
cied misfortunes. the woman had be-
come a victim of neurasthenia. An
otherwise lovable, refined woman, she
had allowed herself to become dis
agreeable and bitter.
The Associated Charities foun,. hsr
a icb which workers thought would
both help her to become helf support
ing and take her mind from herself.
She rebelled at first, having never
dore any work in her life, but was
finally persuaded to take the work.
Begins to Show Interest
In a surprisingly short time this
old woman began to take an interest
in things and other people than her
self. Her disagrecable ways fell away
from her. She had learned that she
could take care CT herself by the Ia
bor of her own hands and the know
edge seemed to bring her to a sense
of inexhaustib,e power. She report
ed for work at o'clock in the morn
ings and was the last one to leave at
nights. 1t was not difficult to see that
she loved it. The sight Of an old wo-
man, white haired and alone, work
ing day in and day out that she may
live, usually brings twinge of sor-
row, but not SO this old woman. No
one would have thought Of being sor-
rv for her. Her white head was car
RED high, her old hands moved not
with the hating WEAKNESS Of age but
with the swift deftness Of one whose
soul is young. She smiled often as
she worked and in her face there was
a glow that the weight o. 20 years
had not stamped out.
That was three years ago. The Old
woman is rs years Of age now, but
the youngness that she captured when
she began to work with her hands
she has not lost. She has not missed
being at her post Of duty at o'clock
every morning. She still stays until
the last one has gone. Hey 73 year
old hands still work With The swift
ness of youth and the glow has net
faded from her face. She lives TO
far from her work to walk and she
does not make very much money, but
SO eager is she about her work that
she hires taxi to bring her 20 work
every morning.
And now the tragedy: The organ
iation for which she works has run
short of funds. 1t is cutting down its
force and reducing the salaries of
those who are left 1t is found that
some Younger hands might do this old
woman's work and their own and 50 it

The Newberry chapter of the AM

MURDERS YOUTH TO OBTAIN
MONEY TO ATTEND RACES

Ernest Buell. Mccormick, % years
old youth of Springfield, Mo-, has
confessed Of having shot and fatally
wounded William Hallack, attendant
at, a Standard Oil filling station at
Central and Jefferson streets, Spring
field, Thursday night, when he at
tempted to rob the station in order to
obtain money to accompany friend
to Kansas City to attend the auto
mobile races.
He claims that he loitered alone in
the vicinity of the station for some
time before 8 o'clock, at which time
he noticed that the attendant appar-
emily was preparing to close. He then
went into the station, commanded
Haiiack to throw up his hands, and
when the latter was slow about COM
plying, "shot before he thought"
Young Halleck died at O'Clock
Friday morning.
Halleck was well known in SPRING
Field. He graduated from the Spring
field High school and attended Drury
college for two years. He was a
member Of the Delta Sigma and
Sigmu NJ fraternities.
Funeral services were held this
afternoon at the Campbell avenue
Methodist church at'3 o'clock.
