SYRACUSE INDIANA, THURSDAY, DECEHBER 18, 1924.

THE WAYSIDE CHATTER i Editor Journal:— I The morning of October 25th ,! found us breaking camp at Center. Alabama. We then drove fifty miles and came to Rome, : Georgia. We have driven into Rome a number of times and spent several days and nights in ; camp here. About a year ago we were in camp here and we promised to write vou again about Rome and her people. We will try to tell the readers f the Journal something we learned here about Mr. and the i first Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. They »both lived in Rome in their i young days. The slack legal practice of a young lawyer ex- ’ plains how Rome was put more , prominently on the map than i ans ether one thing. Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton. Virginia, December 28, ' 1856. Hence was twenty-six ' years old in 1882 when- Judge ! Judge Hillyer and others of Atj'anta signed his license to pract’.e law in that city shortly be- ! fore he paid a visit to Rome, j Judge Hillyer made the statei ment that Mr. Wilson practiced I law with Edward Renick, after- : wards Assistant Secretary of jS'ate in Eresident Cleveland’s • second administration. It is said ■ the shingle of Wilson and Renick ; failed to produce business in I spite of their earnest attention. , In the summer of 1882 Mr. Wilson spent a two months’ vacation in Rome as the guest of his aunt, Mrs. J. W. Bones. The Bones were staunch Presbyterians. Mrs. Bones’ father, Mr. Woodrow, was a teacher in the old Oglethorpe University. Mr. .Bones was a i high official in tM Rome church and Wood row Wilson’s father, I sep.h R. Wilson, was a Presbyterian minister at Augusta, Georgia. When Sunday rolled around there was no discussion as to • where the young Wilson should attend church. Now the sermon was not so entertaining that the young Woodrow failed to notice the beauty of a young girl with brown hair, that fell in curls upon her forehead. He looked not once. but. several times, before the sermon was concluded. As the congregatidmwas leaving i hfe Lkq-ui red <rf. someun«*who night be. He was told she was the daughter of the Reverend Samuel Axson. -Mrs. Brow’er; found she could do her Atlanta cousin a good turn so pronosed thev invite Miss Axson and several others to go cn a picnic to a spring which forms the head waters of Silver Creek. Everything was ready to go when voun® Woodrow Wilson asked if he had better take some lunch. Miss Ellen Lou said she had enough for two and this offer left no room for argument. The distance was eight or nine miles and two rigs were used. The young folks used Mr. Brower's wagon with side seats where plenty of wheat straw had been piled It is said young Woodhjw and Ellen Lou chose the back end of the; wagon that they might dangte tneir feet behind and away went the future President of the t nited States and the future first lady of the land. Caring little whether school kept or law business was good or not. after bumping over country roads for amhour and a half they arrived at Hhe picnic ground and soon thereafter the two strayed off from the crowd. Lunch time came and all were '■ylqd to the well filled baskets. All but two were very hungry. After a few hours romping and wading those twx> were • very busy searching fojr f r-leaf clovers on the pasture green and blowing the dowm off dandelion stems. J„y on . der whcrc Ellen Lou and Woodrow can be.” said Mrs Brower. "I know,” said one of she little boys, “he is over there a ear s on * Beech tree. The preliminaries were all disposed of that day. A freshet came and swept the east Rome bridge over the Etowah river. This separated Wocdrow and Ellen Lou, so the former borrowed a boat and not only crossed but they paddied up and down the stream. is sard not everything was • so smoothe as the waters of the Etowah river, but Wood row came back now and then. After a while they were married at - Savannah, in the home of her grandparents. It- is also said Miss Axson was very talented with the brush and their homes where they lived had evidence of her handiwork ' < • L. A. NEFF — o __ The Journal prints sale biUsT -

T. Ik BEING WIPED OLT IN INDIANA The death rate from tubercu- ; loris among Indiana’s citizens ! steadily has declined since 1911. j according to figures made public htre today by the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, which is assisting ninety-two county organizaticns to prenarfe for the ;>nnral Tuberculosis Chriirimas Seal Sale, from the proceeds of which anti-tubercu-losis work is financed in the state. The figures given cut recently were made available by the Indiana State Board of Her Ith, which has compiled accurate records of mortality rates *»ffecting each of the counties of Indiana. In 1914. according to Murray A. Auerbach, Executive Secretary of the State Association, the state’s death rate from tuberculosis, per 100,000 population was 145.8 annually, the total number cf deaths in that year for the entire state being 4077. About tbit vear, Mr. AuerbadMimnted out. the organized anti-tuberculosis j urograms of dozens of local tuberculosis associations began to come into activity. Slowly the death rate in the state as a whole began to decline and, generally speaking, in the counties where most intensive anti-tuber-culesis work was done, the death rates declined more rapidly. Bv 1923 the state’s annual death rate from the disease per 100.000 population had declined to 94.8 the total deaths in. that vear being only general he same decline was apparent, during the ten year period, in many counties. Mr. Auerbach showed. He made public figures to show that in Kosciusko County. the death rate annually estimated on the 100,000 population basis, was 121.9 in 1914, while in 1923,the rate was 40.5, estimated cn the lOO.(HX) population basis. There were 34 deaths from the. disease in Kosciusko County during 1914 and P deaths in 1923. In speaking cf the coming sale Dr. A. C. McDonald, President, of the countv associate n said ‘Slowly the Christmas Seal and its organized efforts against tuberculosis 9 are bearing. JEruit, throughout this .county and the state, from the cities of the Calp.met to the Ohio River boundaries." Anti-tuberculosis programs, designed toward prevention, isolation and cure of the tuberculosis within our borders, are having effect. It is so in practically every state in the Union, where determined citizens arh, giving their , time and money to' reduce this greatest of ovr bodily scourges. In manv respects Indiana is leading in the fight, as a state. For four years we have led*? all other states in the Mississippi Valley in per canita number of Christmas Seals purchased by our public. The proceeds from these sales are turned back to fight the common enemy among us. The death rate is decreasing steadily, as facilities for fighting the “plague” are .enhanced and enlarged. We hope to sell $1500.00 worth of seals in Kosciusko County this year. Dr. A. C. McDonald.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor I As He Sees Them on the Surface. ’ j Heredity And The Dead Bwt. | The will to pay is heredity, i just as red hair er buck teeth. It is a common fallacy that a man nays his debts because he has money. This is not necessarily true. On the contrary the matter of paying has only a remote relation to money. "x. On the one hand is your friend with abundance of money, who can not be cajoled, threatened, beaten or gassed into paying the m st ordinary debt. On the other hand, the poor fellow without a visible dollar—you know Mm—who is Johnny ' on the Invoice. Money has little :to do with either case. It is the breed of the man. The man who pays the man who thinks in advance. He never flashes a roll. He does not drive a car and carry a mortgage at the same time, he does not hang un the butcher, .or the grocer, for food that he can not afford to eat. he never lights the fire without wondering where the coal man gets off. He never throws the Bull, nor pitches the Bull, nor gives notes, nor writes checks dated tomorrow, but when the bills come in, he is there with the coin of the realm, God bless him. Sometimes he feels sore at the rest of us. He does pot see that he gets op any better than the fellow who skins as he goes. Still he goes on. and on, pays and pays, simply because it is in the breed. And after all. the World does think a lot of his breed. The man who pays is the bulwark of So •ietv. He is the balance wheel; of civilization. He is the mai>J tiring of Commerce. Business/ blesses him ,aiid he has honor among mep for all time. "If. at the vou®frF'*, still hunting for someth*^to -•'nd to/an. absent friend or rela-' *ive who used to call Syracuse home, it is worth while for you ' to remember that a year’s subcription to The Syracuse Journal would be greatly appreciated as a Christmas gift. A es, we have a few people here in Syracuse who are pessimistic about the future of our town. But. old timers tell us that there were knockers in days rone by who didn’t believe we ‘ ou 1 d ever get a railroad through this part, of the country. Many legislators will need no nore than recent election-day ’uggestien that the country wants no hair-raising, throat-cut--ting legislation. The tremendous rebuke of radicalism has changed many a legislative ambition over night. Congress should pass the constitutional amendment to stop the issuance of tax-exempt Hohds. and put it before the «tpte legislaures for early adoption. If all the automobiles*in the ountry were paid for, it would be positively safe to trv to cross a street in some of the big cities. • 0 Even if you do have the right v.f way, it won’t avail you much if a "speeding auto comes along. Do not threw away the key of ' esterday. It may fit the lock of q tomorrow. Mr. Shepard of the Milford State Bank did Pot prove to be a good shepherd. CELEBRATED .BIRTHDAY Mrs. Jim Whistler celebrated her fiftieth birthday anniversary 'n Sunday. December 14, at her home at Lake Wawasee, in a manner that was a complete surnnse to her.
