Naming Alaska.

The name Alaska is al English cor
ruption of perversion of Alayeksa, as
1t was called by the aboriginal inhab-
ltants of the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward, observes a geograph.
ical magazine. When the Russians
first came to one of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that a vast
country lay to the eastward. and that
its name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts
called their wv Island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
Alayeksa. BY a process of Russian
izing and Anglicizing Alayeksa became
Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became
Unalaska. The original Aleutian word
Alayeksa meant "the great country
as the inhabitants of scattered Islands
would naturally consider a vast con-
tinental region of varied and
beautiful scenery as Alayeksa or Alas
ka has since proved to be.

Death of Charlie F. McNeeIy.

The sad news of the death of Corp.
Charlie F. McNeely of the 35th Field
Artillery, reached here last Thursday.
The remains reached Easley Saturday
night and was brought to his fathers
Mr.. j. A. McNeely, by the undertaken
at Easley. The body was accompanied
by one of his associates, Prvt. Harry,
Hansen. The interment took place
Sunday at 2 O. clock in the Pickens Mill
cemetery. He was buried with military
honors.
Corp. McNeely was the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. McNeely of the Pick
ems will village. He entered the mill
tary service in the June call and went
to Camp Jackson He was later trans
ferred to Camp Mcclellan where he
died of bronchial pneumonia.
For several years Charlie has been a
member of the Pickens Mill Baptist
church. He was one of the leading
christian workers of the village. His
daily walk was strictly christian. The
letter his captain wrote the bercavcd
parents shows the esteem in which he
was held as soldier. The following
sentence taken from his captains letter
is sufficient:
"rhe loss of such splendid soldier
and companion is keenley felt by every
man in this organization. Your boy
had the gift of making every man with
whom he came in contact. his friend.
In addition to this he was ever punctual
in performing his duties, always carry
ing out his part of the work with the
finest of spirit. He has nobly served
his country by paying the supreme sac
rifce. -
