played at Watts, Mollohon, Knoree

ranged and consequently when the end

the distinction of heing the ponnant
winner. This season the teams in this

and have a regular pennant winning
contest. Now is tho ti'me to commence
to organise.

WOOD ROW WILSON INAUGURATED
(Continued from Page One) .
.Until tho ceremonies of inaugurating
? ho new Vleo-Prestdont began these
.v ni ma led galleries were the centre
of attraction.
Th program provided for the en
trance of tho Supreme Court, the
House and other bodies at specified
Intervals, from 11:30 to noon, leading
up to tho actual ceromonlea While
the Supremo Court was being an
nounced and the sombre-robed Jus
tices, accompanied by the officers of
tho court, found large leather chairs
placed along the front row of the
cha/mber, facing the Vice-President,
and at his right, tho diplomatic corps,
brilliantly arrayed in full stato cos
tume, assembled In tho outside corri
dor proiwtred to outer In a body.
When the Supreme Court was an
nounced, Chief Justlco Whlto leading
tho procession entered tho Senate
chamber, followed by Associate Jus
tices Lamar, Hughes, McKonna,
Holmes. Ijurton, Day, Van Devanter
and Pltnoy.
The representatives of foreign na
tions came next, headed by Ambassa
dor Jusserand, of Prance, dean of
tho diplomatic corix* in the absence
of the voncrablo B&Ton Hencelmul
lor, tho Ambassador of Austria, who
Is absent from his post on leave and
Is not to Tcturn.
The Rt. Hon. James Bryco, tho
British. Ambassador, was next, fol
lowed in order of seniority by Count
Van HernsborfT, the Ambassador
from Germany; Youesouf Zln Pacha,
tho Ambassador from Turkey; the
(Marquis Ousarit Conflilomei-j, the
Ambassador from Italy; Senor De
(lama, the Ambassador from Brazil;
George Bakhmateff, tho Ambassador
from Russia; the Viscount Chinda,
Ambassador from Japan, and follow
ed by tht ministers and their suites
Ifrom Portugal, Bolivia, Salvador,
Netherlands, Venezuela, Switzerland,
GreeCO, China, Spain, Ecuador, Nor
way, Nlcaraugua, Cuba, Argentina,
Uruguay, CThMle. Belgium, Haiti,
Guatemala, the Dominican Republic,
Pero, Sweden, Slam, Colombia. Hon
duras, Denmark, Panama, and Persia.
The ambassadors and ministers have
seats immediately behind the space
rosorvod for the Cabinet.
Meanwhile the House of Represen
tative.;, formed in double line down
the Ions; corridor toward the House
wing of tho Capitol, and accompanied
by tho members-elect soon to take
places In tho next Congross, marched
slowly to the Senate door, and, head
ed by Speakor Clark, for whom a
seal had been placed on the rostrum
at the left of Senator Galllnger, . as
President pro tempore of tho Senate,
found seats reserved on the west side
of tho chamber, the ea.it being held
for Senators and others.
Other places reserved in the cham
ber were for Admiral Dewey and his
aide; Major General Leonard Wood,
Chief of Staff of the Army, and his
aide, and officers of tho army and
navy, who by name have received the
thanks of Congress. Among these
were Heal Admiral Peary, the dis
tinguished Artie explorer. When this
part of tho program was carried out
the next move was to escort the
President, President-elect and Vice
President-elect to the chamber. Tho
two most consjrlcuous seats in the
chamber were reserved for Mr. Wil
son and Mr. Marshall, both of which
faced the presiding officer, Mr. Wil
son's in the front row to the right of
the main aisle, and Mr. Marshall's to
the left. Seats for the Cabinet and
the Committee on Arrangements
were close by.
With the entrance of President
Taft and President-elect Wilson at
the main door of the Sonate, escorted
by the Committee on Arrangements,
and the entrance ol Mr. Marshall and
Senatoar Galllnger, elso oscorted by
the same committee, the stage was
set for the Inauguration of tho new
VIce-President.
First In the order of tho proceed
ings was the administering of the
oath of office to VIce-President Mar
shall. Arising from his seat among
the Senators, the now Vice-President
was escorted to tho Senate rostrum,
to the right of tho presiding officer.
The ofllco of Vlce-Prosident being
vacant by the death of James S.
Sherman, the administration of tho
onth to the new Vlce-Presiment fell to
the lot of Senator Galllnger. This
was a brief coromony, followed with
impressive silence as the oath was
slowly repeated by tho new official,
standing with up-raised hand.
Vlco-Presldent Marshall had now
l>een formally Installed as the presid
ing officer of the Senate. This much
accomplished, the Senate of the 62d
Congross adjourned slno dio to
reorganize Immediately as the new
Senate of tho 6.1rd Congress, with Its
new presiding officer directing Its
affairs. A prayer by the Chaplain of
the Senate was the first formal action
of the newly organized Senate. With
this solemn function over, Vice-Presl
dent Marshall delivered his Inaugural
oddrose.
It remained only to complete the
organization of the new Senate by
administering the oath to Senators
ro-olected or newly elected to the
body.
The returning Democratic Sena
tors to take the oath wer?.: Bank
head, of Alabama, Bacon, of Georgia;
Simmons, of North Carolina; Owen,
of Otolahlma; Till man, of South
Carolina; Sheppard, of Texas, and
Martin, if Virginia.
Tho re-eloctod Republicans were:
Borah, of Idaho; Kenyon, of Iowa;
Nolson. of Minnesota, and Warren,
of Wyoming.
Tho now Democratic members If
tho body were John T. Pobinson, of
Arkansas; John F. Shafrithfl if Col
orado; William Saulsbury, of Dela
ware; William H. Thompson, of
Kansas; OUlo M. James, of Ken
tucky; Joseph E. Ransdell, of Louis
iana; James V. Vardman, of Missis
sippi; Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana;
William Hughes, of Now Jersey;
Harry Lane, of Oregon; and John K.
Shields, of Tennessee.
Tho now Republicans " ire: Edwin
C. Burleigh, of Main John W.
Weeks, of Massachusetts. 3eorge W.
Norrls, of Nebraska; L. B. Colt, of
Ithodo Island, and Thomas Sterling,
of South Dakota.
At this point tho inaugural oero
monies passed from the stage of
quiet and soJomnity of the Senate
chamber to one full of color and ani
mation as the out-door exercises of
administering the oath to the new
President began at the east front of
the Capitoi. In tho shadow of tho
great dome an Immense stand to hold
thousands had been erected. At the
front and center of this vast stage
were arranged the seats for Presi
dent Taft and President-elect Wilson.
Chief Justice White, about to admin
ister the oath of olllce, was seated at
tho rlfcht of the President-elect.
Flanking this central group were the
Associate Justices of tho Supreme
Court, the Vice-President, Senators
and former Senators. Back of them
were ranged tho members of the
House of Representatives and the
ambassadors and ministers of for
eign nations. In groups hero and
there were Governors of states,
many of them with their showy
staffs of military and civil officials.
Members of the retiring cabinet,
officers of the army and navy, and
representatives of the various
branches of the federal government
also had their places on the broad
platform.
Facing the inaugural platform a
dense crowd of spectators packed the
wide plaza and struggled for van
tage point, while further back the
long lines of military and civic or
ganizations took pfosiftion to await
the formation of the parade.
With this setting or animation all
attention was directed to the two
central figures of the assemblage?
the President-elect about to take the
oath o foffice, and the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, ready to ad
minister the oath. These two, rising
from their seats, stood together at
the center of the platform, the Chief
Justice with the Bible open In his
hands, tho President-elect with up
lifted right hand.
Slowly the Chief Justice repeated
the oath as it Is prescribed by the
Constitution:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will faithfully execute the
office of President of the United
States, and will vo tho best of my
ability, preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of tho United
States."
Tho President-elect repeated the
oath word for word, and kissed the
open Bible. It was over. A new
President had come into office.
At tho moment of conclusion of the
oath, a Presidential salute of twenty
one gunms boomed out the news that
a now Chief Executive had been In
augurated.
Tho Prc8ldeut at once began his
inaugural address.
At the conclusion of the Inaugural
address, tho program called for the
Senate to return to its Chamber,
either to confirm appointments or
adjourn to a inter day, while the
lhmse stands adjourned to the date
of the extra session to he called by
tho new President. At the head of
the inaugural procession the Presi
dent rode back to the White House to
review tho pageant and ibegln the
duties of his office.

To the People of Laurens:
The hospitality of the people of j
Laurens is appreciatively known
throughout the country. But their
generosity in this respect, so cordial
ly extended to the teachers of the
county at their last meeting is emi
nently worthy of special mention.
Contributing ;?s it did, not only to
the social convenience and comfort of
the teachers, but through them to the
educational interest and progress of
tho county, their kindly deed of
thoughtfulness has placed their many
guests under lasting obligation. There
fore, In behalf of the teachers of the
county, we ask this opportunity of
thus publicly expressing our sincere
thanks and hearty appreciation to the
citizens of Laurens for the thoughtful
and hospitable manner In which they
entertained us during our meetings
Friday and Saturday.
To our efficient school officers also
we feel under obligations for their
contribution to our interest and pro
fit.
Sincerely,
W. P. Culbertson,
President.
Good Fishing In Galilee.
Bible Btudents may be interested to
know that there la still good fishing in
the Sea of Galilee. Dr. Ernest W. Gur
ney Masterman, who has practiced
medicine in Galilee, made a special
study of the fishes found there and In
a recent book says that he found 43
varieties, twice as many as can be
found in tho British Isles. The fisher
men are taxed a fifth of the value of
the fish caught, the revenue going
partly to the sultan and partly to a
pasha In Damascus.
Thought for Women.
When New York Stato forbade the
aale of egret plumes the dealers in
thi.'j horrible product went to Jersey.
When Jersey Joined New York they
went to Philadelphia, where they are
now carrying on a mail order business
with women who think themselves
beautiful by carrying on their heads
a couvenir of a mother bird killed
and her fledglings left to starve.?
