SCALDED CHILD DIES.
Overturned Pot of Boiling Coffee
When Mother Turned Off.

Alcolu, June 2.-Ottis, the three
acknowledgements son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elliotte Childers, died Wednes-
day afternoon while being taken to
a hospital in Sumter, as result of
being frightfully scalded on Tuesday
night by the overturning of a pot of
boiling coffee. The mother was pre-
pairing the evening meal and had just
set the pot of coffee on the table and
turned her back, when the little fel-
low attempted to move the pot, when
it overturned, with the above result.
Everything possible was done to re-
lieve the suffering of the child, but
to no avail. The burial took place
at Jordan on Thursday.

GREAT SEA BATTLE FOUGHT.
CONTINUED from page 1, column g.
through the night.

through the nlSHI.
The exact ranges and courses of
the day fight have not been ascer-
tanned. 1t is assumed the ranges of
the day engagement were not eX-
treme, possibly about eight miles, as
the weather was hazy.
The German torpedo boats and de-
stroyers we're more effective than the
British, accounting to a considerable
extent for the successes of the Ger
mans against an overwhelmingly su-
perior force. 1t is understood the
Queen Mary and the Indefatigable
were sunk in the day battle. 1t has
not been learned when the Warspite
and the other British warship went
down.
(The loss of the Warspite is denied
officially by the British.)
All the German warships except
those mentioned in the official report
reached Wilhelmshaven safely. Thus
far nothing has been reported regard
ing the extent to which any of these
vessels were damaged. A fuller re-
port from Admiral Scheer is expected
soon.
1t is stated at the admiralty that at
least thirty-four British capital ships
were engaged and that the British
torpedo flotillas were severely hand
died. The battleship Westfalen alone
sank six torpedo boats during night
encounters.
German personnel and material
alike stood the test brilliantly ano
the damage sustained by the German
fleet is small in comparison with the
British losses. The battleship Pom
mern, which was sunk, was command
ed by Capt. Boelken.
Berlin is decked with flags and the
achievement of the German fleet has
aroused the greatest enthusiasm.
There was a remarkable demonstra-
ton in the reichstag when Rear Ad-
miral Hebbinghaus announced the
result of the battle.

: The Bamberg Herald is our idea OF
a nifty county weekly.-Aiken Jour-
nal and Review.
We can heartily return the COM
pliment of our Aiken contemporary.
Under the management of Mr.. w. L.
,Washburn this old newspaper has
taken on new life. 1t has been
changed from semi-weekly to week
" and a jam-up good paper is be-
ing printed. Mr.. Washburn edited
the Journal and Review many years
ago. He has for several years been
in the North, but has recently re-
turned to his old habitat. The writ
er. having spent the first six years
of his newspaper existence in the Of
fee of the Journal and Review, nat
urally has an interest in that paper,
and we heartily join the fraternity
of the State in welcoming Brother
Washburn back to the fold again.

; Senator McLaurin has been want
ing a chance for long time, appar-
entity, to get before the people to
"defend' the State warehouse sys-
tenn. Mr.. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, Of
fered to go halves with him and con-
duct a meeting in each congressional
district for the enlightenment of the
people; but Mr.. McLaurin declines
with a sweep of his hand: Il am not
troubling myself about Nat Dial. y
The Columbia State remarks that as
MIR. Dial is himself the head of a
warehouse and an experienced man
in the business, Mr.. McLaurin is dis
Greet in declining to meet him in
Joint discussion of Mr.. McLaurin's s
pet system. Anyway, what does Mr..
McLaurin want to defend the State
warehouse against? No one, appar-
emily, has had anything to say about
the State warehouse except Mr.. Nc
Laurin himself. The legislature has
shown itself overwhelmingly in ia
vor of it's continuance; the State
Democratic convention likewise ia
voreS it. The people are in favor of
it: so we really do not see why the
warehouse commissioner feels called
upon to defend the system. But,
then, we all have an idea why he
wants to get into the politics Of the
State.

Lord Kitchener is the first Of the
war giants to give up his life in this
present war. There is doubtless a
great feeling of dependency all over
Great Britain over this disaster.
Kitchener was a great soldier and a
great statesman, and the loss to the
British people is heavy, yet his death
will no doubt go long way toward
awaking Britain from her apathy in
this war The English government
has never been able to stir up any
great enthusiasm among the people,
and enlistment of men in England
has never been what it should have.
The death of Kitchener will appeal to
the patriotism of the British if we
are not mistaken.

Roosevelt and Hughes seem to be
the predom inant figures in Chicago
this week, Roosevelt being the
"strong man" of the Bull Moosers
and Hughes the bulwark of the Re
publicans. The nominations will
take place the latter part of the
week. It is nothing more than a
guess as to whom the Republicans
and the near-Republicans will nomi-
nate. but we will hazard the predic-
tion, that Roosevelt will not be in it. .

removed from animals six months old,
it is undoubtedly best to operate early,
advises Dr. e. HI. Lehnert In Farm and
Home
When the proper time arrives, clip
the hair over the horn from an area
the size of half dollar, wash with
soapsuds and rub on the moistened
caustic. To prevent the caustic from
running, moisten it only slightly, and
apply lard or vaseline all about the
spot treated. When the scabs fall off, a
careful examination should be made,
and If the horn is still prominent,
make another application of the caus-
tic. To protect the fingers, wrap the
caustic well with paper. If active caus-
tic is thoroughly applied over suf-
flciently large area, the horn will un-
failingly be killed by one application.
