a remarkable strong character; a great
teacher a faithful wife; kind, devoted
and affectionate mother; amiable
neighbor. Some characteristics of her
noble life deserve special mention: her
simple, childlike and unswerving con-
fidence and faith in God was beautiful
She loved the Bible, made it her daily
companion, practiced it's teachings, till
her light shined brightly and others
seeing her good works were constrain-
ed to glorify God. She loved all min
listers of the gospel and her home was
opened always with unbounded hospi-
tolifU tn
and loyalty to the Methodist church of
which she was consecrated member

Often in her long confinement to her
praises of God.

COTTON CROP IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
Columbia State Gathers Statistics
Showing Crop to have DcterOatcd.

In the Sunday edition of the Colum-
bia State, the second cotton condi-
tion report for this state, as gathered
by the correspondents for that paper,
were published Reports came from
nearly every county in the State. The
following is how The State sum
married. the situation:
Reports from all sections of the
State show that there has been with
in the past few weeks, very serious
deterioration in the cotton crop,
which the middle of July promised, in
spite of the drought, to produce a
normal yield. The continued drought
followed by unreasonable weather, the
damage done by the storm a week ago
and continued and heavy rains, which
came at the worst time for the cot
ton planters, have combined to cut
the States cotton crop very material
ly. The yield will probably be from
20 to 33 per cent. below normal.
Reports Of deterioration from near
ly every county and Of damage make
it certain that the crop this year will
be very short, and while six weeks ago
normal yield was indicated, it is now
hardly possible that in the State more
than two-thirds crop will be made
In many sections cotton is opening
rapidly and immediate marketing
seems to be the order. In other sec
tions the rains have prevented pick
ing, and the cotton is rottening in the
bur. In those sections which were
damaged most by the storm the cot
ton crop has been practically ruined
In only few counties do the farm
ers now expect to produce anything
like an average yield, and taking the
situation as 1t whole, the cotton crop
seems to have been cut at least one
fourth"

GHILD'S HEAD SOLID
 MASS OF HUNOR
It Was Awful. Cried Continually, Had to Hold and Watch Him to Keep Him from Scratching, Suffering Was Dreadful,
Had not Used Half a Set of Cuticura Remedies Before Head was Clear
 and Free from Eczema,

"I think the Cuticura Remedies are the best remedies for eczema l have ever heard of. My mother had Q child who had a rash on it's head when it was real young. Doctor called it baby rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, O running sore. It was awful, the child cried continually. We had to hold, him and watch him Ito keep himl from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of CutiCura ResOl- vent, a box of CutiCura Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the CUticura Soap, and applied the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beautiful head of hair. I think the Cuticura Ointment very good for the hair, It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair CSigned) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plan City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910.
 Cuticura Soap and Ointment are for saIe throughout the world, but to those who have suffered much, lost hope and are without faith in any treatment, Q liberal sauple of each with 32-p. book iet on the skin will be mailed free, on implication. Address Potter Drug d Chem. Corp, Dept. 12B, Boston.

EVERYONE SHOULD SIGN IT

skagway business men who are put ting in the test stamp mill are cir culating a petition among the citizens of the town asking that the Alaska Road Commission Iendtheir aid and construct wagon road from a con yenieDt point on the White Pass rail road up the East Fork of skagway river where important mining proper ties are being developed.
 It has always been the policy Of the Alaska Road Commission to do this work, and the people who are putting up their money toward the develop ment of our mines have every reason to believe that the aid will be forth coming.
 The Alaska Road Commission has thus far never spent a cent in this immediate section of the country and thus far skagway has never asked for the outlay, for the very good req son that there was no urgent call for it.
 However, the time has come now when skagway must ask for her road and the people should hurry their names on to the petition so that it can be forwarded at once a1d action obtained to the end that the people working on the East Fork may get their supplies in without the prOhiO- ttory expense now entdIed.
 The railroad company pays taxes every year in this section where the road is asked and has paid in up to the present time upward of SlS,OOo which has gone into the Alaska fund. It has not been the policy of the Com mission to build roads paraIlelHng railroads, nor is it asked in this case but simply an aid to facilities now furnished by the railroad.
