liam Washington, and when he visited Charleston
in the year 1926 he a guest at the Ancrun
residence, Mrs. Ancrum, the mother of Mrs. Da-
WILSON, being a daughter of Colonel Washington.
Mrs. Davidson, then child six or eight years
DID, remembered the visit perfectly and kept
until she died a present which Lafayette had
given to her, the grandchild of his old friend and
cOmrade in arms.
There is no statue of Washington in Lafayette
square, though one day there may be, for it is
said to be possible that Andrew Jackson may be
put elsewhere and George Washington may take
his place. The nearest physical approach, SO to
speak, that one gets to the first president, in La
fayette square, is in the White House, which
fronts it. It may not be generally known that the
White House completed before washington
died. It only a few days before his DEATH
as Washington tradition has it, that George and
Martha Washington walked through the recently
completed White House. to give their approval
or disapproval as it may be, of the arrangement
Of the rooms. 1t is possible that that visit to
the capital was the last one which the Father
of his Country made for it was only a short time
afterward that he died at his country seat Mount
Vernon.
Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there is living in Washington today
an aged man named John Lane, who is the only
living person who ever saw George Washington.
Now inasmuch as the Father Of his country died
iii years ago, this may seem to be something
pretty close to false statement on It's race, DuC
it is the truth nevertheless.
When John Lane was small boy the driver
of a stage that between Washington and
Mount Vernon asked the lad if he wanted ride.
and the answer a hasty climbing up to the
seat Of honor by the driver The boy made the
trip all the way to Mount Vernon and arrived
there just as they removing the body of
Washington from the old tomb to the new one.
In order to make certain that the remains had
not been tempered with by ghouls who not long
before had broken into the old tomb, the coffin
was opened and John Lane, aged ten, was lifted
up to look on the face of the Father of his Coun-
try. Mr.. Lane today is the only person who
survives Of the little company which was present
at the transfer of the body

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, boy Of five, broke
,ut with an itching rash. Three doc
.ors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
aim any more. They finally advised
ne to try a certain medical college,
but it's treatment did no good. At
the time | was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
lis hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
If skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass Of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
leartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled Off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now / can say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he

Yarns Are Looking Up.-The New
York Commercial thus summarizes
the situation in the cotton yarn mar
ket:
prices in the cotton yarn market
are being steadily pushed in an up
ward direction, and buyers are be-
coming more and more conservative
in their operations Buyers who are
badly in need of additional supplies of
yarn are in the market. but they are
not showing much of an inclination to
place forward contracts at prices
which spinners are asking. On the
other hand, spinners are not any too
willing to accept long distance deliver
les at current quotations, as they
claim that where they have to pur-
chase new cotton. they cannot afford
to sell at present prices. In most cases
where forward contracts have been
accepted. SpinnerS expect to deliver
the yarns from stock on hand.
"Spinners have made it very plain
that they will close down through Sep
tember, unless they can get a fair
margin of profit on their yarns. Sew
eral mills have either disposed of the
cheap cotton they owned, or have used
up the same i'm delivering old con-
tracts. Where the mills happen to

through the next two months. but
when it comes tn a question of making
up yarns from cotton which has to be
purchased they are not Interested In
offers at current quotations. Dealers
who sold short on old contracts. and
expected the market to go down. are
now having their own troubles In
meeting deliveries. In not few cases
they are meeting deliveries with yarns
that cost more than the original order
was booked at.
"WeaverS are i'm the market from

are to cover immediate and pressing

figures. They propose operating con-
Servatively in the raw material market
until prices advance on the finished

goods on a more profitable basis, yarn
orders will be increased. Similar con-
ditions are to be found with knitters.

new lines placed on the market for

had been heard in halls of state ana
in the courts of princes and potentates
after it had made him known all
over the world, even as voice crying
from shore to shore-it finally persuade
/ ed his cOuntrymen to select him for
| the presidency Before this time-in-
| deed, as soon as he began I" grow cel"-
brated-his admirers had found out
the resemblance between him and tn"
Great Stone Face; and so much were
they struck by it. that throughout the
country this distinguished gentleman
was known by the name of Old stony
Phiz. The phrase was considered as
giving a highly favorable aspect to his
political prospects: for, as is likewise
the case with the Popedom. nobody
ever becomes president without taking
a name other than his own.
While his friends were doing their
best to make him president, old Stony
PhiZ. as he was called, set out on a
visit to the valley where he was born.
OF course. he had no other object than
to shake hands with his fcllow-citi-
zens. and neither thought nor cared
about any effect which his progress
through the country might have upon
the election. Magnificent preparations
were made to receive the illustrious
statesman: a cavalcade of horscmen
set forth to meet him at the boundary
line of the state, and all the people left
their business and gathered along the
wayside to see him pass. Among
these was Ernest. Though more than
once disappointed, as we have seen, he
had such a hopeful and confiding ma
ture, that he was always ready TO be-
lieve in whatever seemed beautiful and
good. He kept his heart continually
open, and thus was sure to catch the
come. So now again, as buoyantly as
ever, he went forth to behold the like
ness of the Great Stone Face.
The cavalcade came pranCing along

hnofs and a mighty cloud of dust,
which rose up So dense and high that
the visage of the mountain side was
completely hidden from Ern@sts eyes.
All the great men of the neighhorhood
were there on horseback; militia Of
ficers. in uniform; the member of con-
gress: the sheriff of the county: the
editors of newspapers: and many a
farmer, too, had mounted his patient
steed, with his Sunday coat upon his
back. 1t really was a very brilliant
spectacle, especially as there were nu-
merous banners haunting over the cav
alcade. on some of which were gorge

man and the Great Stone Face, smil-
ing familiarly at one another, like two
brothers. If the pictures were to be
trusted, the mutual resemblance, il
must he confessed, was marvellous.

there was a band of music. which
