Three Deaths in One Family
Editor Pickens Sentinel:
During the last two weeks the pall of
death has clustered heavily around the
home of our beloved brother and sister,
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hudson, of the
Pickens Mill village. Nora,.the last of
the three children, died Wednesday of
last week and was interred the follow
ing day at Secona after a brief service
conducted by Rev. B. G. Field.
. This makes the fifth child Brother
Hudson has lost, one girl having died
about a year ago and a small child.
Lennie was called home on Monday,
October 14; then on next Monday came
the news of the death of Furman.
How sad! And yet 'sadder still when
on Wednesday came the news that Nora
was gone.
The village and friends in general
unite in prayer and sympathy for this
sad home. May God in His infinite love
bring peace to this family.

Some Psalm
The Ford is my car,
I shall not. want another.
It maketh me to lie down in wet
places,
It soileth my soul,
It leadeth me into deep waters,
It leadeth me into paths of riducule
for its name's sake.
It prepareth a breakdown for me in
the presence of mine enemies.
Yea, though I run through the val
leys, I am towed up the hill.
I fear great evil when it is with me.
Its rods and its engines discomfort
me.
It anoineth my face with oil,
Its tank runneth over,
Surely to goodness if this thing fol
low me all the days of my life, I shall
dwell in the house of the insane for
ever.-- Sussez Herald.

County Chairmen.
NO SLACKERS WANTED.
During the campaign next week,
for United War Work, there must be
no slackers. The people at home will
look askance at them, the boys at
the front will despise .them and their
names will be anathama. There is no
place in this country for the man or
woman who refuses to stand behind
the boys over there. They are Ger
man sympathizers to say the least,
and should be in Germany. Our boys
will find out the name of every one
who fails to help them now when
they return and such a person will
have no recognition. They will be
treated with contempt and scorn as
they should he. Therefore, let me
warn the people of their danger in
the future 'and urge them stand be
hind our boys like men. This may be
the last call for help for the boys,
and if we fail, woe be unto' him who
causes the failure.
C. E. Robinson,
County Chairman.
THE SCHOOLS.
Every teacher in the schools of
Pickens county which may be open

ted to bring to the attention of their
pupils each (lay during the week and

Y. M. C. A. Army work. They are
also urged to do all they can to get
the boys and girls enlisted in the

will back up 665 boys now in service
from Pickens county.

Turkey is out of the war, and Ger

gary, badly defeated on the field of
battle, her battle line remt in twain,
and with chaos reigning inside her
borders, Is pleading for an armistice
Thus far, her importunities have re
ceived no better answer than the re
doubiling of the efforts of the allias to
crush utterly her warriors, although
a Vienna dispatch says an Austrian
deputation has been permitted to cross
tie fighting line to begin preliminary
pourparlers with the Italian con
munder.
The capitulation of Turkey Is be
li1eved to ha "e been uncondtional. Tle
victories of the allied forces over the
Austro-Iulngariumi threaten to send

Through the defection of 'T'urkey the
plight of the Teutonic allies becomes
a critical one. The gateway to the
