In MemOriam.

About a dozen years ago there was
a grade. in the Prosperity school tnat
was known in the school and in the
town as one of the happiest, most fun
loving, most ambitious classes that
ever aspired to diplomas and other
honors which high school graduates
ara won't to think go hand-in-nand
with, the completion of the prescribed
course and the dignity due. their years
and attainments.
How it all comes back to us-those
happy, happy dags-under the wise
guidance of loving teachers! How long
it seems-and yet how short-especlai-
" now that the claim of friendship so
closely welded in those days has been
broken for a second time by the stay
ing hand of Death. Our one-time
chain of ten is now scattered group
saddened upon learning of the untime-
" going away of our friend and class
mate, Lucy Fellers Littlejohn.
Lucy was ever the gayest OF the gay
first in everything that was for tne
Measure or good of the class. Her
abounding spirits, her buoyancy, her
cheerful helpfulness made her prime
,ayorite. If any one had choice joke
IN relate or anything else that requlr-
ed a sense of humor, Lucy was always
he listener chosen. =
These youthful gifts of heart and
mind that were hers increased with the
years and enabled her to reduce to
harmony all the discords of life. Dur
ng her long, elusive illness she was
YER the picture of patience, accepting
uncomplainlngly all the ills that her
frail flesh became heir to.
We can think but with tear-dimmed
ewes of the dear baby daughter that
has been bereft so early in life OF her
rightful and best friend Our hearts
close around her in her loss, and we
trust she may grow into a softened
reflection of her mother and be a
daily blessing to those who will have
this wee bit of preserved sunshine in
their keeping! =. n.

State Politics Again.
ooj Journal 18th.

Greenwood Journal, 18th.
We were expecting surcease
from State politics after the na1lohal
election hut even before the country
knows lust how many States Wilson
and Marshall did carry here comes a
lineup of probable chargers IN tne
race two years hence. Leaving asloe
the scramble, already begun, for the
iuicy Federal plums, let us take a
look at some of the forecasts maze
nv enterprising reporters around po-
litical headquarters.
The senatorial race is the biggest
and of course Gov. Blease is being
groomed or grooming himself Tor
that and his probable contestants will
be John Gary Evans, Senator Smith,
Lewis w. Parker, R. Goodwin Rnetl'
Richard l. Manning and others. This
array gives you some idea of the warm
times that are ahead in the senatorial
fight during the summer of 1914.
Then comes the announcement
(this is of special interest to the peo-
ple of the Third Congressional Dis
trict) that Fred H. Dominick, GOV.
Blease's campaign manager and for-
ner law partner, will be in the race
with Congressman Aiken. 1t might
be mentioned also, that The journal
has it on good authority that Capt.
Frank S. Evans, who was defeated for
congress the past summer, will try his
fortunes against Mr.. Aiken. And
there are said to be others.
Then there are the minor State Of
fees that will not come into the lime
light for more than a year yet (un-
less James Cansler, of Tlrzah, an
nounces again pretty soon), but what
about the race for governor two years
hence? Isn't it about time some of the
several candidates were employing a
publicity agent?

Great War Dogs Come in Through
New Channel-Fair Opened Gates
Monday Morning.


Charleston, Nov. 1.-THE three dl-
visions of the Atlantic feet arrived IN
port early this. afternoon, being vel
coined by a crowd of many thousand
people who lined the battery and the
wharves as the big ships came into
the harbor and proceeded to their an
chorage ground. 1t was a magnificent
sight to see the ocean leviathans as
they steamed into port in single col
umn formation, the somber business
like gray color being lightened by the
display of the flags of the various
fleet and ship officers and the signal
colors as they foated in the breeze.
The ships came through the new
straight channel with neap tide and
a north wind which did not add to
the depth of water, yet there was an
abundance of water. The North Da-
kota and the Utah, the heaviest draft
ships, drawing 294 and 2S.5 feet, re-
-spectively, came Though the new
straight channel which is projected to
take the place of the Cummings point

minimum depth spoke we'll for the.
harbor, and the fact was freely. COM
mented upon by the officers. The
dredging of the channel is still under
way and will prove especially useful
to long big draft ships.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus was official
ly visited by the committee on recep-
tion this afternoon. The party was
very cordially received aboard and
entertained in the admiral's cabin. It
was particular pleasure to many of
the committee to meet Capt W. S.

Thousands See Ships.
The water front was literally black
with people and the harbor was alive
with moving craft of every description.
t is estimated that not less than %, 1000
saw the ships at anchor this evening.
Their launches were moving freely be-
tween the wharves and the city to-
night, several thousand seamen are on

time in celebrating their leave Char

1t Was Awful. Cried Continually.
Had to Hold and Watch Him

Suffering Was Dreadful.
Had not Used Half a Set of Cuticura

al think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had rash on its head when it was
real young. Doctor called it baby rash.
He gave us medicine, but it did no
good. In few days the head was a
solid mass, a running sore. 1t 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 Resell
vent, box Of Cuticura Ointment, and
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 beautiful head Of
hair. / think the Cuticura Ointment
very good for the hair. 1t makes the
hair grow and prevents falling hair"
(Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City,

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are for
