Raw!, B. F % Barret, J. Walter Harman and L. J. Shealy. Visiting comrades were W. Seigler, Max Wilk and others, was a propaganda meeting, hence- \ the regular routine of business was* dispensed with. Comrade L. J. paid $1.80 for nine months' dues up to and including September 1st, 1913, awJunius B. Roberts made application for membership which was recorded by Comrade Seigler.

Judging from the gentlemanly behavior of the men and boys (women and girls never do misbehave) and the apt att.ntion, which net. only the Democrats but Socialist speakers received from that group of picnicers, is evidence that our people honestly want to knoiv the "truth about Socialism." Everyone present at that gathering in the woods by the branch has the sincere thanks of every true Socialist. This is one of the most pleasant days of our lives, and records another step in the direction of the emancipation of the toiling millions from the op pre9sion and greed of monoplv trusts and tbeir henchmen, the politicians.

She was found dead in bed last Tuesday morning by her entire family, and her sudden death was a great shock to her friends and relatives. When she retired Monday evening she seemed to be enjoying her usual health. Mrs. Harman was a kind and loving mother, a good neighbor and she will be greatly missed in her community. She believed in going to her church, which she joined in early youth and remained a faithful member until the death angel came. She was the daughter [of the late Rev. Drury Kyzer who preceded her to the spirit land a few years ago. She leaves four brothers and four sisters as follows: Messrs. Frank, of New Brookland; Simon, of Gilbert; Jesse V. Lee, of Lexington; Mesdames Ann Roof and Pauline Hendrix, of Gaston; Mesdames E. O. Wessinger and Laura Smith, of Lexington. Three children survive her as follows: Mr. Lee Harman, of Arkansas; Mr. Matthew and Mrs. M. H. Porth, of Lexington. Her remains were layed to rest in St. John's cemetery Wednesday morn inir t.hft Rev. P. D. RisiDger of Lex ington performing the last sad rices. Dearest mother, farewell; Thou has left us here, But we hope to meet thee on that blissful shore, Where you have gone on before. A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant In our home That can never be filled. Empty is her chair, Darkened is her room, For the angels have come and carried her home. ?A loved one Quick Help to Backache and Rheumatism The man or woman who wants quick help from backache and rheumatism, "t;ti end it in Foley Kidney Pills. nu* ?

The six I ' Republican members of the commit- j f tee were summoned to meet at a full ; i committee meeting. The formality of j submitting the conference report to the Republicans will not take much time, and it is 'believed the report will be presented to the House by Representative Underwood. In the final session a further futile ^ I attempt wag made to settle the fight over the cotton futures tax. Senate ' conferees changed front and agreed to give up the Clarke amendment alto- i gether but House members refused to i permit this. The Senate, in turn, re- ^ fused to accept the proposed SmtthLever compromise. In the end it was ] determined to report a disagreement j and let the Senate and House determine what shall be done toward regulating or taxing the trading in cotton J for future delivery. < Final differences in the bill were adjusted as follows: The House accepted the Senate rate ( ?I three iourtns 01 a con. a yuimu wu. lead ore.
