clean and free from slime and for this
reason have discarded them entirely.
However, IL is easy to keep them clean

Birthday Party.

Last Thursday afternoon the lit
tie friends of Henry Frederic Bam-
berg, Jr., made merry with him from
four to six at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry F. Bam-
berg. The party was in honor OF
little Henry's sixth birthday, and
right we'll did the host of tots do
their part in celebrating the happy
occasion. Many and varied were the
gifts they brought to their little play
mate. A peanut hunt served to
amuse the guests greatly, and after
the search was over and the peanuts
counted, it was found that Maytrude
Brabham had won the girls prize, a
tiny gold pin, and Wilkes knight,
Jr., the boys prize, knife with two
blades. Then, each had turn at
a mysterious 'grab-bag," every little
hand returning with treasure snug
ly hid away in tissue paper. All
then scampered out on the spacious
lawn to examine and devour immedi-
ately the precious packages, and as
tie last of these disappeared, delight
full ice cream was served each thirsty
little child. They ran and played un-
til it was almost dark, when each de-
clared that it had been such happy
afternoon and wished little Henry
many happy returns of November 10.
These were present: Louis Smoak,
Katherine, Louise and Helen Free,
Norma, Henry and Carrie Brabham,
Aegina and Wilkes Knight, Jim
Rhoad, Irma Dixon Mary Aldrich

elected speaker. Mr.. Byrnes proposed.
that he and Mr.. Lever go there and
put themselves on record that in case
Mr.. Clarke could not get the Missouri
mules, their services be offered Mr..
Clark as a pair of Shetland ponies.
The concluding address was that Of
Capt. Adams. He spoke to the,
point, telling of the course that such
matters must pass and speaking fa-.
vorably of the figures presented to
him by the business league. He said
that the chief point to be considered
was that of whether it would be used
if the river should be made navigable,
and whether it would be worth the
expenditure necessary to bringing
this about. 1t was at this point that
he announced that the proposition
relative to the north fork had been
favorably reported on. He stated
that he felt that such would be the
case in regard to the south fork.
At the conclusion of Capt. Adams's
address, President Carter announced
that the programme was at an end.
He cordially thanked every one for
the interest shown by their presence.
H. D. Calhoun started up Aud Lang

iourned. There were about 60 pres

a we'll digested and interesting
speech. He made an address filled
with interesting historical illusions,
going to ancient history and modern
for illustrations of points which he
wished to emphasize.
R.. H. Jennings, president of the
Orangeburg chamber Of commerce,
said that Orangeburg will do its part.
MIR. Glover, who was introduced as
the man who has put the matter on
a footing which can be presented as
an array of facts and not a lot OF
talk, was called upon. He made a
response, short but to the point. He
stated that he had piled the waters
from Orangeburg to Jacksonboro, a
distance of 24O miles, and had had
much less trouble than in following
the public road from Orangeburg to
this place just a few hours previous.
He had used an automobile which
had given considerable trouble.
Congressman A. F. Lever was call
ed upon. He told of the history of
the movement for making the Edisto
navigable, showing with what little
enthusiasm that project had met in
the beginning and then tracing the
matter to the point where the under
taking was placed on working ba-
sis. He said that he had been thor

oughly convinced by the showing
made by Bamberg, but that he had
found that Capt. Adams was not 80
easily convinced and that the evil
dence of a tangible enterprise must
be shown to the engineer whose duty
it is to give in a report concerning
the river. Capt. Adams, said Mr..
Lever, was sworn officer Of the
government and not until sufficient
showing had been made could he give
favorable report. This favorable
report would be forthcoming when it
was deserved and not before, said
Mr.. Lever, and he hoped that every
effort would be continued toward
giving a good account Of the posi-
bilities and actualities of the sur
rounding territory.
J. F. Byrnes, congressman-elect
from this district, was next intro
duced. Mr.. Byrnes made a reply to
one little thrust, made in a humorous
way at him by Mr.. Lever. Mr.. Lever
had stated that he expected to put
the harness on Byrnes when he got to
WASHINGTON and if occasion should
arise, he expected to use his spurs on
his fellow-worker. Mr.. Byrnes stated
that he had noticed that Champ Clark
expected to drive pair of Missouri
mules to the capital when he was

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
Did he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours Of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
FINALLY got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and half to see If it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason.
