Charleston, S. C. April 19, 1915
(SpeciaD-It has come to the notice
of this office that many people fail to
report suspicious and disloyal acts or

of all citizens in detecting enemy pro
paganda or suspicious activities of in
dividuals, and you will do service in
notifying your trends that any COM

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cat
arrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucuos lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh
which is an inflamed condition of the
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Med
icine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for ay case of Catarrhal Deaf
ness that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free.

OBITUARY

| Rev. Lemuel Hall fell asleep IN Je
sus in the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
B. L. Kirkland, of Lexington county
April the 10th 1918.
He was born Christmas day, 1880,
making his long and most worthy ca
reer in this life 81 years, 3 months
and Is days. On the 5th day of
June 1853 he was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to Miss Eliza
Ann Minis. To this union was ad-
ded three sons and six daughters one
son and one daughter and his wife
preceded him long ago to the home Of
the blessed.
Shortly after his marriage he and
his companion united with the Bap-
tist church and lived according to
their professor as long as life existed
among the things that were precious
in his sight was that he lived to see
all his children embrace the devine
religion which he possessed.
In the war of the Sixties he served
his trade manufacturing fire arms
in the Government shop in Atlanta
Ca, and was the first of his comrades
to make a bayonet that would bear
inspection.
Back in the days Of the prime of
life, the buggy. the wagon; the cart
and the developing power of differ
ent manufacturing plants all carried
his mark as professional wheel
right.
A great host of friends and seven
children, fifty-four, grand children
and thirty-eight great grand children
deeply mourn the sad departure Of
him, on the 28th day Of Oct. 1871
nearly Al. years ago he was ordained
to the ministry, the late J. M. JEFF
coat and l. D. Durham, officiating.
and every moment of his time not
Employed in laboring for sustenance
of life was devoted to studying the
word of God and carrying the mes
sage to others. Walking the most
of his time from church to church
many of which he supplied night and
day, cold and hot, sunshine and rain
he never faultered. But loyal to his
King and calling.
He was endowed with deep com
prehension of the scriptures such as
only few possess and could be re-
lied upon at any and all times for ad
vice. He was very indulgent and ex-
tremely fond of children especially
those in the home where he lived and
no one in this world can restore his
presence or fill the vacant place he
left to the ones he was so much at
tached. But may they strive each
day to immitate the life he lived. He
was instrumental in organizing sew
eral churches and a great counciler
in effecting reconciliation. His
membership being with providence
church at the time of his death. A
very able and encouraging sermon
by Rev. N. N. Burton Of Batesourg,
was preached on the resurrection OF
the dead. A subject which always
thrilled the heart and soul Of the de-

A STRIKING CASE

UNDER its Terms a Life Insurance
Contract DOES NOT become effective
until 1t Is delivered to the applicant
and the premium PAID. The Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company au-
thorizes its Agents to collect the pre-
MUM and issue receipt, putting the
insurance in Full Force from the date
of the medical examination, provided
the examination shows that the appli-
cant Is insurable. On October 9, 1918,
Mr.. G. j. Herndon Of Ernhardt, S. c..
wrote the application Of Mr.. Walter S.
Crosby Of 1slandton. S. c., for $4,000
insurance and Mr.. Crosby paid the
premium on that date and was given
a binding receipt Owing to the infiu-
enza epidemic the company's examiner
could not get to the party until the
18th. On the 20th Mr.. Crosby was
taken ill and died on the oath. The
examination showed that he was an
acceptable risk on the 18th, and just
so soon as proofs Of loss are furnished
the full amount Of the policy will be
paid. A North Carolina Agent Of the
company had almost an identical expe-
ricnce, except that his man did not pay
and therefore his intended beneficial
ries will receive nothing-the contract
was never completed.

the Mutual Benefit Is in q Glass BY

strC tch the contrast To even greater
length.
History has written IL biography
for Pcrshing such rs no conservative
novelist would dare to write for his
hrain children. But in spite of this.
the mvth-makers are already at work.
For the most part these biographical
4 9arnlSntfS nave IuIllp'h Wv 'N'''' ''N'
history has 50 generously filled and
zone back to the days of his youth.
They look for a hoyhood pitched In the
same KEY rs is his mature manhood,
ami they found little but the ordinary
events that fill the days of the aver
age village boy.
Johnny Pershing as he was known
in those days--and as he Is still known
by his ncighbors-gave no sign OF
possessing any particular talent. He
wasn't the bright hoy at school. He
showed no special bent for any one
thing. He didn't know what he was go
ing TO do when he grew up. His brother.
lin was more popular than he. NO
one prophesied of Johnny Pershing that
boy will make his mark in the world
\pparcntly the hoy gave no promise
of the man.
..l,ut go back to I.acledc. the little
town in Missouri where Pershing pass
ed most Of his youth, and talk with ms
hoyhood friends and those of the old
,r ncighbors who are still living.
Though they can tell you nothing hut
simple homely little incidents OF
Johnny yet somehow in the course OF
their talk they will all say. in on" form
or another: He was the sort OF boy
that sticks at anything he once takes
hold Of
