Obituary

The death of Alonzo l.. Miles, Esq,
at his home in Salisbury, at four
o'clock this morning, after Hnger-
ing illness, will cause grief to many
friends in Dorchester county.
Though born and reared in Somer-
set, yet he came here in early man
hood, and Dorchester claimed him as
her own and looked upon him with
pride and affection.
His ability and talent commanded
recognition, and, shortly after TAX
ing up his residence here, he was
sent by our people as one of their
representatives in the General As
sembiy, where his service was both
brilliant and influential. Other and
higher honors were doubtless in
store for him by his fellow citizens
of this county, but his removal to
Baltimore interrupted his political
career.
While always retaining an inter
est in political affairs, and taking
part in them, yet he made it secon-
Diary to his professional career. In
this field he was master. At the
trial table-before the Court and
jury-he stood in almost unchal-
AGek4AAS-ASq-Aes
ready and capable for any legitimate
combat in that arena, and possessed
Of legal knowledge and gifted with
a persuasive eloquence that made
him always powerful advocate and
a formidable antagonist.
1t is said that Rufus Choate, after
a term in the Senate of the United
States. returned with zest to his
practice at the Boston bar, as being
the appropriate and congenial sphere
for his activities, and to the task of
working his magic influence upon the
Immortal twelve" as he was wont
to describe the jury. We have little
doubt that if he could have chosen
freely between political and a pro-
fessional career, the quality OF his
mind would have kept Mr.. Miles in
his favorite role at the bar. 1t was
there he won many laurels-and won
them honorably and deservedly-in
conflict with the best minds of the
State. w. l.. H.

which he had been born had prevented
from developing. He had also something
else-an undoubted magnetic force,
which allowed him to add auto-sugges-
ton to all his words and which made
even unbelieving people succumb some
times\to the hypnotic practices which
he most undoubtedly exercised to con-
siderable extent during the last years
of his adventurous existence.
RAsPUTIN UNIVERSALLY AT
Tackled.
Amidst the discomfort which, it would
be idle to deny. had existed in the Rus
sian empire during the period which i'm
mediately preceded the great war the
personality of Rasputin had played a
great part in giving to certain people
the opportunity to exploit his almost
constant presence at the side of the
sovereign as a means to foment public
opinion against the emperor and to throw
discredit upon him by representing him
as being entirely under the influence
of the cunning peasant who, by a strange
freak of destiny, had suddenly become
far more powerful than the strongest
longing to the opposition parties had
got into the habit of attacking him and
calling his attendance on the imperial
court an open scandal, which ought in
the interest of the dynasty to be put an
end to by every means available.
In the duma his name had been men
toned more than once, and always with
contempt. Every kind of reproach had
been hurled at him, and others had not
been spared He had become at last a
fantastic kind Of creature, more exploit
ed than anything, more 'destroyable
than destructive, one whose real role"
will never be kpown to its full extent,
who might in other countries than Rus
STA and at another time have become the
founder of some religious order or Sc
cret association. His actions when eX-
amined in detail do not differ very much
from those of the fanatics which in Paris
under the reign of Louis XIV were called
the "Convulsiannaires, and who gave
way to all kind of excuses under the
pretext" that these were acceptable to
God by reason of the personality of the
people who inspired them. In civilized,
Intelligent, well-educated Europe such an
apparition would have been impossible.
but in Russia, that land of mysteries
and of deep faiths, whore there still
exist religious sects given to all kinds
of excuses and to attacks of pious mad
ness (for it can hardly be called by any
other name), he acquired within a re-
latively short time the affections of a.
whole lot of people. They were inclined
to see in him a prophet whose prayers
were capable of winning for them the
Divine Paradise for which their hungry
souls were longing. There was nothing
at all phenomenal about it. 1t was even
u, IN SepSe mite natural mani
festation of this large Russian nature,
which is capable of so many good or
bad excuses and which has deeply in
crusted at the bottom of it's heart
tendency to seek the supernatural in de-
fault of the religious convictions which,
thanks to circumstances, it has come to
lose.

GEORGIA BAPTISTS MEET
At NEWMAN ON TUESDAY
Coming Convention Regarded
by Many as Most important
Denomination Has Held
BY ALEX w. REALER.

NEWMAN, Ga, Nov. 1O.-The Georgia
Baptist convention will meet in annual
session on Tuesday of this week with
the Baptists of Newman. In many ways
this will be the most important meet
ing ever held by the denomination.
There it will be shown that in the
face of the high cost of living and the
large amount that Baptists have given
for the war, they have given more mon
ey than ever before in a single year.
This will put them upon their mettle
and will stimulate them to bigger things
in the future than they have ever at
tempted i'll the past. As patriotic Amer
leans they have caught the larger vision
and will now do their thinking about the
million-dollar mark.
From present indications a big debt
that has been resting on the body will
be wiped out and it can turn its face TO
a future that will never more be Grip
pied by debt.
The convention owns a number of
pieces of very valuable property, Mer-
Ger university at Macon, Bessie Tiff
college at Forsyth, the Georgia Baptist
Orphans home at Hapeville, the Geor-
gia Baptist hospital in Atlanta and a
number of secondary schools at differ
ent places in the state. For years each
has been hampered by heavy debt. For
the last three years the feasibility of
wiping out these debts has been con-
sidered by the convention. They
amounted to half a million dollars in
round numbers. This sum seemed so
large that the Baptist buiness men hes
itated to take up the task of raising it.
Last year at Commerce the movement
was decided upon and committee with
DR.. f. c. Mcconnell, of Atlanta, rs
chairman, was appointed to go among
the Baptists and raise this money dur
ing the year. Many were doubtful as
to the outcome of the campaign, but DIR.
Mcconnell, ably assisted by Mr.. c. ].
Hood. of Commerce, a banker, organ
lied his forces and went to work 1t
has been more in the nature of still
hunt for large sums than public cam
paign and now, success seems certain.
In answer TO a telegram asking what
was the outlook, DR.. Mcconnell wired
me on Thursday, Impossible to give
exact figures. Very hopeful. Prepare
to shout" If this debt is wiped out it
will mean that Georgia Baptists have
raised this year in addition to their To-
cal finances, close on to a million dol
lars.

BILE. 1t is to the credit of Russia that
it took place with the dignity that has
marked it's development and success.
This, in broad lines, is the summary
of the causes that have brought about
the fall of the Romanoff dynasty, and
they must never be lost sight of when
one is trying to describe it. 1t is. how
ever far too early to judge the Rus
sian revolution in it's effects because,
for one thing, it is far from being at
an end, and may yet take quite an un-
expected turn. For another, the events
connected with it are still too freshx to
be considered from an objective point
of view. / have. therefore, refrained
from expressing an opinion in this mar
rative. My aim has been to present to
my readers a description Of the person
ality of Rasputin, together with the
part, such as 1 know 1t, that he las
played in the development of Russian
history during the last five years or
so, and afterward to describe the course
of the revolution and the reasons that
have led to it's explosion In such an
unexpected manner.

At ONCE! STOPS
STOMACH MISERY
AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's DiapepSin'' makes
: sick, sour, gassy Stom.
achS feel fine

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause sick, sour, ga.ssy
stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspeptic.
jot &his down: Pape's Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won't sour and
upset you. There never was anything
so safely quick, so certainly effective.
No difference how badly your stomach
is upset you usually get happy relief in
five minutes, but what pleases you most
is that it helps to regulate your stomach
so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapesin' is positive in neu-
traIizing the acidlty, sc the misery won't
come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin' comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases, no belch-
ing no quotations of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any
drug store. You realize in five min
utes how needless it is to suffer from,
indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach
disorder due to acid fermentation.

Hog and Cottonseed
Products Contrasted
By Bureau of Markets

The state department of agriculture
through it's bureau of markets, Satur-
day issued a statement drawing a COM
parison between hog products and cot
tonseed products, and suggested that
the cottonseed crushers ought to be de-
irving a better price for their products.
While before the war. it is pointed
out. it was afwell-established rule that
refined cottonseed oil should stay around
2 cents a pound under hog lard, that it
is now around cents a pound under
lard; and that manufacturers are claim
ing they are not making a large enough
margin of profit to do business.
It is suggested that in order to raise
the price of cottonseed oil to it's former
parity with lard that producers sell
sparingly.
