1t was n matter in which. she had rec

since the guarrels between the old
friend whom she had loved from child

now more than a mere friend TO her,

Popularity Of
Woodrow Wilson
Former President is More
Popular With the People
Than Any Other Citizen

Columbia. Jan. 20-An indica-
ton of the popularity Of Woodrow
Wilson in the national capital, de-
spite the Republican stories TO the
contrary. is mentioned in letter
received by Wilson Gibbes. clerk
OF the house of representatives.
from Wilson Gibbes. .Jr, his son,
who is now in Washington.
Wilson is stronger, / believe.
than he ever was, writes the
younger Mr.. GibbeS to his father;
that is, if the sentiment in Wash
ington is to be taken as basis
upon which to judge, and 1 have
always understood that Washington
in general disliked him. 1t was my
pleasure to be at keith's the 9TH
er night when he was there Che is
there every Saturday night and
all through the show, wherever his
picture was shown Or a song about
him was sung. the applause was
long and loud, and Harding got
only a few handc1aps l have at
tended two vaudeville shows lately
where they showed news picture
with Harding and Wilson. Will
sons applause was thunderors and
long. while few scattering hand
cIaps greeted Harding. A<conedian
sang song. in which he mentioned
the best loved Of Americans. and
ended up with Woodrow Wilson
is his name which brought the
house to its feet. The pictures Of
Wilson show him as he is today. as
he was during Harding's inaugu-.
ration and his own. and there is
certainly a vast difference. His
famous smile is still there, but his
body and face are drawn and he
seems to be forty years older

Columbia. Jan. 20.-Hereafter
the letters N. S. F. on the back

the plans Of the South Carolina Re-
tail Merchants Association are car
ried out by the legislature The as
sociation is introducing a bill in

sible, to the bad check evil. 1t will
be a similar law, if passed. to the
laws OF other states, anI Will make

where there are no funds TO pro-
tect the check prima facie evi-
dencc of intent to fraud Under
the present Jaw q person issuing
false check has thirty days in which
80 make the paper good. but the
merchants hold that this feature OF
the law IS often abused The pro-
posed law would make th" giving
OF a bad check the same as larceny.

it is secured with it.
III such check. draft or order

son making, drawing or uttering
sams shall be deemed guilty of the
larceny Of such money or property

post with the bank sufficient
funds 10 pay the same in full when
presented. shall as against the maxi

proposed bin. which is 10 be intro

The proposed law would provide
that where .he bad check be paid

sumption of intent to fraud shall
not arise
A bill of similar intent was in
troduced last year, but this year it
