WILSON'S PICTURE
WOVEN IN CLOTH.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The White
House today received from John J..
McSwain of Greenville copy of a
portrait of President Wilson woven
into cloth, the cotton making it being
dyed, spun and woven in the textile
school at Clemson college.
Mr.. McSwain's letter accompanying
the portrait is as follows:
al have the honor to send you by
separate parcel a copy of a portrait
of yourself woven into the texture of
cloth. Prof. c. w. McSwain of
Clemson college, and was woven this
day by him on Jacquard loom in the
exhibit at Clemson college at the
great Southern textile exposition now
in progress at Greenville.
"You may be interested to know
that the threads making up this cloth
are all of South Carolina cotton, dyed
at Clemson college in fast color and
will not fade in water. 1t is practi-
cally certain that you have the dis
tinction of being the only president
of the United States whose likeness
has been woven into cotton cloth.
"Please accept this likeness with
the compliments of myself and my
brother"
Secretary Tumulty and other White
House officials were much impressed
by the novel production and it will no
doubt be greatly priced by the presi-
dent, especially because it came from
Southern friends.

IN MEMORY OF c. b. BOBO.

He is gone, our precious father,
He is sleeping in the tomb,
Calmly sleeping till the dawning
Of the resurrection morn.
They have placed him in the casket
And have born his form away.
Still in death he's only sleeping,
Till the resurrection day.
Meath mound of blooming roses,
Cold in death our father lies,
But his spirits with the angels
In that home beyond the skies.
Oh, 'tis lonely here without him;
In this world of toll and care;
But We'll join him with the ransomed
In that land so bright and fair.
Yes, twill be a happy greeting
When we meet to part no more;
With our friend and loved one waiting
On that bright eternal shore.
God needed one more angel
Among his shining band,
So he reached his loving arms
And clasped our fathers hands.
We loved him, oh, we loved him,
But Jesus loved him more.
He has gone to be with Jesus,
On that bright and peaceful shore,
Tho his weary body's resting
There beneath the cold, cold clay,
Where all pain is gone forever,
And he waits the judgment day.
We miss him, oh, we miss him,
Here on this lonesome path.
His home is dark without him;
We miss him everywhere.
His Daughter Lille.

ering exhaustively British interference
N-th American trade since the begin
ming of the European war, declares
that the socalled blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March IL is ':ineffective, illegal
and indefensible." Notice is served
that the American government "can
not submit to the curtailment of it's
neutral rights" and it can not "with
complacence suffer further subordina-
tion of its rights and interests"

was sent by special messenger for
delivery to the London foreign office,
was Instructed by Secretary Lansing
"to impress most earnestly" upon the
States "must insist that the relations
between it and his majesty's govern
ment be governed, not by policy of
expediency but by those established
rules of international conduct to which
Great Britain in the past has held the
United States to account when the
latter nation was a belligerent engag-
cd iii struggle for national exist
ence."
Declaring the United States unhes-
itatingly assumes" the task of cham
pionship the integrity of neutral
rights, the note proclaims that the
American government will devote it's
energies to the task. exercising always
an impartial attitude
The note, nearly $4,000 words in
length, was made public by agreement
between the State department and the
British foreign office. 1t carries with
it voluminous appendix, giving rhe
text of the American naval instruc-
tions issued in 1862 and a summary
and table showing hundreds of vessels
detained by British authorities since
the beginning of the present war
The body of the note is divided
into 35 points, dealing with all phases
of the contraband question, seizures
and detentions, prior to, as we'll as
after, the. socalled blockade was IN
stituted, and announces that sepa-
rate communication will be sent sooh
dealing particularly with the "pro-
priety and right of the British gov
ernment to include in their list of
contraband of war certain articles
which have been so included"
