REMEMBERED IN THEIR PRAYERS

In the death of Rev. C. w, Little
john, who passed a away few days
ago, there went out of the lives Of
many little ones a friend who will be
missed. His fondness for children
was a marked chara ctcristic, and his
influence over them was for good.
Rev. Mr.. Littlejohn made his home
in Statesboro for a brief period many
years ago. While he will not be re
membered by many adults, but few
children there are who will not recall
him with delight AS he went among
them he spoke words of love and
faith. For the tots who could only
understand such things, he had an
apple, piece of candy, or some trim
ket. He listed the names of his lit
tie friends and covenanted with them
to pray daily for each other. Many
is the little heart that has been lifted
I'D in childish faith at the end Of the
days tolls in supplication, GOD bless
brother Littlejohn." In homes all
over Statesboro this petition was
nightly heard at the close of the even
ing prayer.
After he went away from States
boro he remembered his little friends,
and the mails brought from him cards
to each of them with words of admo-
milton and expressions Of faith i'll
God. His influence in their lives was
thus perpetuated.
We know not the manner Of his 60
ing. This we do know, he was not
unnrepared. The many prayers in
his behalf were not unheard Of God.
And when he passed through the
Gates above, he was not stranger,
for only his Father recognized him.
but within the city there was at least
one little boy from Statesboro whose
evening prayer on earth never closed
without these words: "And God, bless
brother Littlejohn."
Who could wish q greater suuplica-
tion in ones behalf than the prayers

RExALL STORE VOTE
PROVES CORRECT
Ryas Drug Co. Names Wilson Before
E!ectior-9,oo0 Druggists Polied
951,So6 Votes--Returns Cover
All the States.

President Wilson'S victory at the
coils yesterday is striking vertical
lion of the prediction made by this
newspaper long before election day.
Three weeks ago, the 5000 members
Of the Rxall Druggists association
of which j. B. Ryals Drug Company is
mmber began to take a straw vote
Of their customers. The members of
the Association being scattered all
over the United States, were able to
reach 951, 1896 voters drawn from all
walks of life. It was the biggest
straw vote ever taken and was made
possible only by the national char
acter of the organization.
Realizing this fact the Dispatch
made special arrangement with ]. B.
Ryals Drug Company, member OF
the Rexall Druggists Association in
Cordele to publish the returns from
the straw vote.
The druggists throughout the cOun-
try mailed or telegraphed the results
of the votes cast by their customers to
the national Headquarters Of their or
ganization in Boston. There the votes
were tabulated, and the results of the
balloting from all the states were an
| Jot1 hr11l
from Boston and which were posted
in 5000 ReXall stores, and published
simultaneously in the leading newspa-
pers of the country.
The first straw vote bulletin, sent
out October Goth, showed Wilson in
the lead The second bulletin, issued
October 9th, showed Hughes in the
lead by one electoral vote. From that
date each and every bulletin record
ed steady gains for Wilson both in
the popular and electoral vote
The final straw vote, date Novem-
Der 9Th, gave Wilson 554.500 popular
votes against 396,S96 for Hughes. On
electoral vote Wilson received 299 and
Hughes 232 Of the 266 necessary to
elect.
This nationwide straw vote derived
it's value from its strictly non-partisan
character. The ReXall druggist, with
out regard to personal preference, fur
nished to the national headquarters of
their association, The United Drug
company accurate figures for each
days balloting in their stores. At the
headquarters in Boston the ballots
were tabulated without fear or favor
the sole object being to call the turn
in politics before election.
1t really appears, as a former pres
ident exclaimed last Tuesday night
thta the outcome of the election was
"a vindication Of our national honor"
Hughes may return to the bench
but it is one Of the baseball variety.
It is most thoughtful in Mr.. Roose-
welt to refrain from making "any re
commentators to Mr.. Hughes with
reference to appointments
