Governor Catts a Descendant of South Carolina Smylys. (Continued from First Page.) useful member of that denomina tion. The mother devoted her life to the training and education of her son, and he in turn was equally as careful of the mother's welfare and comfort. Sidney J. Catts attended Howard college three years, the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn three years, and later graduated from the law school of Lebanon, Tenn., obtaining degrees from all three colleges. Although prepared for the lawyer's profession he de cided to enter the ministry. Upon this decision having been made the mother is quoted as saying. I prayed that Sidney might become a consistent Christian, and the Lord .granted more than I asked." Her greatest desire was for him tc take np the profession of law. After serving a short pastorate in his home town he was called to Fort Deposit, Ala., where he spent five years. His next call was to Tuske gee, where he remained for several j years. He was then rated at $50, O00 by Dunn and Bradstreet, but five bad crop years caused him to lose this property. While he in herited and acquired this property in Alabama, he was always the friend of the poor, and took the part always of the every day citizen. He later returned to Pleasant Hill. Early in 1911 he was called to the Baptist church of DeFuniak Springs, Fla. Two years ago he commenced his memoriable campaign for gov ernor, in which his wonderful pow ers of oratory had no little to do with his phenomenal success. It is conceded by those who know Mrs. Catts, now thc first lady of Florida, that her influence has had much to do with the ambitious and success of her husband. She was Miss Alice May Campbell, of Mont gomery, and was married to Mr. Catts in 1686, in the early days of his ministry. Mr. Catts took his bride to his ancestral home, and she soon became the idol of the mother in-law's heart. She is a woman of sterling worth of character, and possesses a sweet dignity of manner. Her life ie devoted to the interests of her husband and children. One daughter recently made the remark: "Mama and papa are just like sweet hearts yet. They write love letters to each other every day when papa is away from home." Mrs. Catts is highly esteemed in DeFuniak Spriugs, whose people belong to the highest cissy of citizenship. None the less interesting are the six children, four of whom live in DeFuniak Springs, and two older sons, Douglas and Sidney, Jr., in Birmingham, Ala. Miss Ruth Catts, the charming young lady of the family,is the blond type and an ac complished violinist. She, like her grandmother, is a graduate of Jud son college. She is a popular mem ber of the younger society set of DeFuniak Springs. Mrs. K. R. Paderick, nee Miss Bessie Catts, considered a very beautiful woman of the brunette type, is an accom plished musician. Her marriage to Mr. Kempster R. Paderick, about three j'eavs ago, was a brilliant so cial event. Tliey have one little son, Kempster, Jr., the only grandchild of the governor. The youngest daughter of the family is yet a little miss in the Sth grade of Walton High School. Rozier, the typical young American son, is a member of the junior class of the Walton High School. "Sug," as he is nick named is a great favorite with all the young people. He drove his father's car during the latter part of the campaign, and enthusiastically wrrote home on several occasions, * we are gaining votes every day." The loss of the son, Walter, who died under an operation last sum mer, has saddened the family, and indeed, the entire communit3\ He had just been graduated from the Walton High School a few months before his death, and many predict ions had been made that he would have been a star in our legislative halls; for he had wonderful talents and great ambition Gov. Catts and his interesting family are by birth, education and training, eminently fitted to assume the state leadership in affairs both j political and social; and the people of Florida have always given their loyalty to those who "steer their ship of state."

To one whose time is passe? most entirely in the country, a vitation to spend a day in and especially to meet an old tr comes as a pleasing break in monotony-a sort of red letter Such were the circumstances i on last Wednesday morning writer rolled over the hills to Edgefield town to spend the with Mrs. J. L. Mims. That w have been pleasure enough in it but in addition I was to see my frind Mrs. H. Q. Adams, wh< have known since I was nine j old. Many sweet recollections of ye were revived at the thought of ing her again, while through tl all came the echo of the gir voice 8?ngingMoore'8 ode to Fri< ship, "You may break, you may shatter rose ff you will, But the scent of the rose will h round it still." Always sweet-natured, gentle, kind, the change wrought in face by the years was what mi have been expected-a vivid flection of these traits, which h moulded ber into a striking li ness of her saiuted mother. "Not the least pleasure of the d either, was meeting again Mr. Q. Adams, the slender, pale yo of former days, who seemed to h no need for words; now somew changed in appearance,but espeoiz in the charm of his conversati bringing to mind hiskinsman,and dear friend and former physician, Pat Adams, of Phoenix. Other i friends were present too, and i lightful was the converse with c and another as the hours sped < At the dinner table, which vs spread with all the delicacies of t season, we drew the conclusion tl Mr. Mims, besides being a go editor, is an excellant gardener; a that our kind hostess is no whit lt proficient in the domestic arts 1 cause of her journalistic work, ai the great amount of time whieh si gives so unselfishly to the work the W. C. T. U. aud our missio ary societies. It was a treat to meet Mrs. Mim mother, venerable Mrs. Adams, ' years old, yet so sprightly in co versation, and to learn that tl green corn at the dinner table w? of her culture, and the deiicioi grapes made possible by her "tem ing of the vines" as Mrs. Brownin would say, "Here is hope to thof who wish for years of usefulness. It was a pleasure, too, to fon the acquaintance of Mrs. Kat Mims, mother of our editor, and t hear her in her vivacious way te! of the trials of her early marrie life, when the kiddies were small Other guests contributing to ou pleasure were Mr. Miller, brothe of Mrs. Adams, Mrs. J. T. Ouzti of Elmwood, and her interestinj daughter, and Mrs. Rufus Dorn whose children ?were my forme pupils. As souvenirs of thc day, insteai of favors from the table, each gues carried away a tray of those sam delicious grapes, and so we caarie< home with us more than man; pleasant recollections of the occa sion. A Mt. Zionite. A Place for Service. Not in many years has our countr needed more unselfish people ii business, as farmers, in politics an( in government. There are still toe many trying to advance self ant self interests at the expense of th< government, even at this critica time when an enemy is seeking it? destruction. Thc pernicious activities of poli ticians to perpetuate themselves ir office and secure special favors foi their henchmen is regrettable. Thai there are those who would take ad vantage of their fellow meu and their country in war is embarassinp to the administration and a reflect ion upon citizenship. Private citizens in many instances have not realized their sacred duty at this time. They have been will ing to aid so long as no sacrfice was required, but many have not yet realized that great sacrifices will be necessary to win the war. Let each citizen oegin from this moment to do his duty. The soon er this is done the sooner will war be over and pence be possible. Progressive Farmer. It was the married men's night at the revival meeting. Let all you husbands who have trouble on your mind stand up!" shouted the emotional preacher at the height of his spasm. Instantly every man in the church rose to his feet except one. "Ah!'' exclaimed the preacher, peering out at this lone sitter, who occupied a chair near the door apart from the others, "you are one in a million.'' "It isn't that," piped this one, hopelessly, as the rest of the con gregation turned to gaze suspicious ly at him. "I can't get up-I'm paralyzed.''-Age Herald. ANOTHER STRONG ENDORSEMENT FOR A-I-M. Read What This Memphis Man Says About His Experience With A-I-M in 17 Years. HAS SOLD 50,000 BOTTLES. "I believe I have had more experi ence with Acid Iron Mineral than any one living," says Mr. A. P. Watkins, a well known business man of Memphis, Tenn., living at 1676 Exchange Ave. "It has cured tumors where doctors said there was no cure except an oper ation. It has cured hundreds of cases of female trouble where doctors said nothing but an operation would do any good. Acid Iron Mineral will cure any sore in the* flesh that can be cured. With a little purgative it will cure al most anything that can be cured when taken internally. "I have been handling Acid Iron Min eral for seventeen years, and have sold between forty and fifty thousand bot tles. During that time only one jper son requested his money back, and I returned the money as willingly as I took it. "I have five children, and I gave each of them A-l-M before they were a month old, and still give it to them when they need any medicine." We Deiieve this statement to be un equaled in the praise of any medicine before the public. When you praise Acid Iron Mineral you praise nature, for it is from natnre that this prepara tion is obtained. Alcohol, and the dope of the pill maker, or the drug of the chemist, are not found in it. It is ob tained from the only natural medicinal iron mineral deposit of its kind known to the world, and comes closest to the ideal as a general tonic for all troubles of the human system. All reliable druggists have A-I-M in 50c. and $1.00 sizes. Be sure you get the genuine. Ask for it by name and look for the A-I-M trade mark on every bottle.
