In MemOriam of Mrs. Annie Roe

8, 1916. SS years, 8 months, 6 days old
She leaves four children, as follows
N. b., M. B. Roe of Pickens county
Mrs. Laura Durham of Georgia and
Mrs. Mary Jane Durham, of Pickens
county.
Now all her toll is over and earth s lead
cross laid down,
For love hath called her home and love
bestows crown.
No more in the dark or gloom of earth's
! fleet years
Will she tread any vale of woe or sit
in tears,
No more she suffers now
I No more finds pain in life
No more is sickness hers
No more she meets with strife,
No darkness shall she know,
She dwells where is no night;
No storm will come up there;
No frosts the flowers blight;
No sin will scar the heart,
No sorrow grip the soul;
No more life's lived in part, but in the
perfect whole,
When deep within the casket sleeping
Was seen the mother 80 old in years,
0 many friends their vigil keeping,
Did weep their unavailing tears,
And oft we knelt among the flowers
A tribute to their taken mother.
The loss was theirs but also ours.
For she was cleansed and undefiled
To her children's voice she hearkened,
And she worked her husbands will
Until the great Death Angel darkened
Up the door with peace be still"
And mother needed no warning,
For she was good enough to go,
From earth's bleak night to Heavens
/ morning, and there in grace and
beauty grow,
Yes, there grow in grace and beauty,
And strength and wisdom thento wait
Until all done our earthly duty,
We shall greet her at the gate.
1T was not gloom or night for her to go
away,
For death to her was leaving night and
meeting day.
She left home on earth to dwell in
mansions fair, and in that home
There is no need of sin to shine,
For Christ's own face doth light the
place with light divine.
She left world of pain for land by
comfort blest,
J And Wen meet her all perfection and
not hruise will greet our eyes;
When soon the promised resurrection
Will bring us to her in the skies.
So sleep on, mother, in your sacred
casket
Until your body's brought above
BY our Savior who'll unmask it.
There in the happy land of love,
At rest with lilies on thy breast,
Beneath the sweet and silent sod,
So free from battle strife
And meagre joys of life,
Now folded in the peace of God.
So sleep on in thy sacred casket.
[ And when your journey we have trod,
0 may we meet you loft we'll ask it)
There at the Great White Throne of God.

BEARD D,.0F FRENCH

Army Officials Order All French
men at the Front to
r Shave.

London, Aug. 24.-The beard of the
French soldier is doomed in an army
order that the men at the front shave
all but mustaches. The order brought
an outburst of humorous discussion in
the trench newspaper in which some
of the most famous French artist phil
osophers and literary men have con-
tributed.
Edmond Rostand. celebrates the
beard in verse as a symbol of "all
beauty of France, soul, jewell, a
torch, a prod"
Henri Bergeson says: 81 am not
afraid to 60 so far as to say that the
visage is matter while the beard is

August E. Rodin, the sculptor, says:
"Men without boards, women with
out sex, statutes without heads, bodies
without arms, humanity without weak
ness, that is my opinion"
| General Pierre Cherfils, reasoning
technically, excuses the measure. be-
cause "the beard of super weighs on
an average Of 60 grammes; with two
million men at the front, this brings
the aggregate weight to 120 tons II

of relieving the army of this consid'
cradle and useless weight. 1t was

REPUBLICAN SENATORS
ACCUSED Of ATTEMPT
TO STOP CAMPAIGN BILL

Washington, Aug. 24.-Republican
senator's were accused today by Sena-
tor Owens, Democrat, of deliberate
effort to prevent action before the No
vember election on his corrupt prac-
tices bill, which would put strict limi-
tations on campaign contributions.
Then, the Oklahoma senator announc-
ed, that he would make an insistent
fight to bring about the measure at
this session of congress, regardless Of
consequences to early adjournment
plans.
He declared the existing campaign
contributions law was fraud upon
the American people, charged that
that the so-called lumber trust had
sent $40, 900 into Oklahoma to defeat
his denomination because he voted to
deny William Lorimer a seat in the
senate and precipitated a lively de-
bate in which Republican and Demo
cratic senators bitterly accused each
other of planning to buy the approach
ing election.
