Mrs. II. 8. StribIing Dead.

Seneca, Oct. 7,-Speciai: Mrs.
Maude Werner Stribling fell asleep
In Jesus on Monday, September 80,
at $40 o'clock, after an illness OF
about Ave months.
The deceased was a daughter of
Robert S. and Mary Johns Werner.
and was only SO years Of age at the
time Of her death. Nineteen years
ago. In the first bloom of young wo-
manhood, she was har. lily married
to II. s. Stribling, who, with four
children. survives her.
Mrs. Stribling's life was beauti-
tiful lesson to her friends in cheer
fulness. patience and Christian vir-
tue. She was so full OF laughter
and happiness that she scattered
sunshine wherever she went. Even
UP to her last moments she had
smile and CHEEKY greeting for those
about her, but never'a murmur for
the intense suffering that 1t was hers
to bear.
She was descended from a long
line or Revolutionary ancestors and
was a charter member of Seneca
Chapter D. A. r. She was, a devoted
and active member OF the Presby-
terfan church, and was for a number
of years president Of the Ladies' Aid
Society OF that church, and was zeal
GUS in all good works.. Perhaps the
crowning act Of her life was the care
and devotion OF motherless babe.
A strange cOincident was the death
OF her step-mother on the same day-
the two interments taking place only
a few hours apart.
TO her loved ones she leaves a,
rich heritage--a beautiful memory
OF well-spent life. A Friend

The Appeal,

| me Appeal.
| The worlds arch enemies to-day
are militarism, lack OF self-control,
| and ignorance. The first two thrive
| chiefly by the support Of the last. H.
| literacy Is the heaviest burden the
! people Of South Carolina have to
| carry.
Every man and woman in the
State Is concerned, and every one can
do something to help in this cam
paign against illiteracy.
Are YOU county superintendent
Of education? If SO, you can organ
ize a literary survey in your county,
help the commission organize your
county for work and assist the COM
mission in raising funds. Above all,
get busy establishing adult schools in
your county for work and assist the
commission in raising funds. Above
all, get busy establishing adtilt
schools IN your county.
Are you school trustee? If so,
| agitate The establishment of adult
schools in your district Help the
teachers organize them, persuade
the illiterates to attend them, and
provide the equipment to make the
enterprise succeed.
Are you a teacher? If so, you
have no excuse for not giving your
support to some plan to reduce the IL
literacy in your district. Try to or
ganiZe night school in your district.
At least you can persuade one grown
person to let you teach him to read
and write.
Are YOU a student in college or in
high school? Could you not find the
time to teach at least one grown
person to read? In so doing you
would be giving your state real SER
vice.
Are you a farm demonstrators or a
home club demonstrator? In every
address at. every gathering remind
your hearers that we musa blot out
liliteracy. No matter what your sub
Ject, this topic Is pertinent.
are you Sunday school superin-
tendent or teacher? See to It that
at least one class in your school Is
taught to read the Bible. Persuade
at least one grown person to attend
this class. The Bible cannot mean
what 1t should to the man unable TO
read It,. 2. NJ ,fs n

A CHALLENGE,

This is a challenge to every wo-
man! Every eligible nurse should
respond!
1t is necessary that our wounded
boys have the best Of care and at
tentlon, and there are not enough
nurses enrolled to render this care.
The estimated total number of
graduate nurses in the United States
is $4,000 to- 100000. There are
from $4,000 to 10000 graduate
nurses not enrolled with the Red
Cross. Where are they? We must
mobilize our entire nursing force If
we are going to win!
Enroll! Our boys must not be
allowed to suffer for lack Of skilled
care.
The Secretary of War has lust
issued regulation placing members
OF the Army Nurse Corps above all
non-commissioned officers. Mem
bers receive, by act of Congress,
$50 month over here and $40 a
month In active service cover there"
with maintenance and travelling ex-
penses.
To the graduates Of the high
schools and colleges for women Just
word: Enroll at once as student
nurses in hospitals or in the army
school Of training.
The nursing service must hold
three great lines. The first line is
the care of the wounded; the sec
ond line Is the care of our soldiers
In training in cantonment hospitals
in this country; the third line Is the
maintenance Of health and recon-
strucaion OF the soldiers when they
return.
If the lost $4,000 nurses are
found we can hold these lines. En-
roll now! Hold the line! The
nursing service cannot hold its lines
without your help.
Several young ladies Of Walhalla
will have charge Of the enrolling of
nurses in this section. This com
mittee will be headed by Miss Julia
Maxwell as chairman Give them
your cooperation and assistance. as
they have other work to do, and are
busy with Red Cross and other nee
essary work.

NO JURY CASES.

At a meeting of the Walhalla
Bar Association, held last Mon
day afternoon, it was resolved
to try no jury cases at the ap-
preaching October term OF the
Court OF Common Pleas. This
decision was reached by the
Association by reason Of the fact
that the time Of the lawyers has
been given up so much to war
work and that the farmers are
busy with the essential work OF
gathering in their crops. Jurors
will not be- summoned for the
term beginning Monday, October
21st. Judge Prince will open
Court on that day and sign or
ders and hear such equity mat
ters as may be ready for trial.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Destruction
by Entente naval forces of the Aus

be closely linked up with the allied

danger they have faced and clearing
the Albanian coast 80 as to permit
the establishment there of new
