S. P. Met. at Cherokee Springs
The Lexington local of the Socialt
party met at Cherokee Springs
September 6th, 1913. Among the
prominent leaders of the county pres
ent were Messrs. P. I. 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. Receipts of the
w?ofctir?or acrcrrpiratpd $205.

Honorable Senator Sliarpe, of Lexington,
and Representative J. C. Rite} ,
of Saluda, had been invited to makespeeches.
Mr. Riley was on hand
and first addressed the farmers cn the
importance of being organized and
in an organized capacity, he said the>
should steer clear of politics.
At th^ close of Mr. Riley's speech
npvra)(ls of 200 farmers, including
women ard children, were invited U:
partake of a sumptuous and appetizing
picnic dinner was spread by the gocci
ladies, God bless them After every
one present had appeased their hunger
at the table and quenched their
thirst at either Mr. Gales' cold drink
fount or the little Cherokee spring
they were called back to their seats in

and dog woods and for three hours
were entertained by Comrades Seigler
ler and Wilk who brought the message
of Socialism?cf hope to the
horny handed sons of toil. 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.
P. I. Rawl, Sec'y.

Obituary.
Mrs. Susan Almenia Harman, (uee
Kyzer) widow of the late Zinska Harman,
was born March 13, 1847, departed
this life September 16,1913, making
atar nr> parth G6 vparp. 6 months
and 3 days. 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.

*
Washington.?The tariff bill is a
complete document, except for the !
provision trades in cotton futures. ; :
After more than two weeks of con- J
stant work behind closed doors, the |
eight Democrats representing Senate : .
and House as members of the con- i
i
ference committee settled the last of j
their ether differences and reached !
the final decision that they could not j ]
agree on the cotton futures tax. 1
A completed proor of the confer- j
nee report will be taken up for re>- j
vision by the Democrats. 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.
The Senate accepted the House sate
of 10 per cent on zinc ore The House
agreed to the dates fixed by 'he Senate
for wool rates to become effective,
namely:
Woolen goods January 1, 1J14; raw j
wool, tops and waste, December 1, ;

Give Santa Claus Free Use of Mails.
Washington.?Let the Santa Claus
of the poor children, those of the tenements
who are likely to be overlooked
because they 'live so crowded
together, be given free use of the
United States mails. This was the
plea made to President Wilson by
Miss Olivia May Wilson, of Jenkinstown,
Pa., who is here to see if some
way cannot be found to waive postage
on Christmas presents mailed to
poor childien. Filled with enthusiasm
of her cause, Miss Wilson, a
young miss 17 years old, marched
boldly into the presence of the head |
of the nation and made her plea.
Eight Children of Family Cremated, j
Quebec.?Eight children of the fam- j
ily of Ulrich Trudel are believed to !
have been cremated as the result of !
a fire which broke out in a three- !
story wooden building in St. Francis j
street. Five other families also uvea j
in the house. The mother and father |
as veil as the eldest boy, although j
all injured, were saved. They are in \
a hospital. A little girl was reported j
saved by a neighbor, but no trace of j
her has been found.

At
Work on Three-Fold Treaty.
St. Petersburg.?The new Chinese
foreign minister re-opened negotiations
with the Russian foreign ministry
in relation to the conclusion of
a three-fold treaty 'between Russia,
China and Mongolia. The proposed
I treaty provides for the recognition of
the independence of a united Mongolia
under the rule of the Ku Tuk
Tu of Mongolia, and subject to the
euzarainty of China.
Solons in Prohibition Fight.

vote at the special session of the J
j Legislature probably would be sue- I

Saturday and opponents of the bills

i until the Legislature adjourns. Two
j special messages sent tj tin House
j ware utilized to prolong the filibuster.

Don't Try to Ma?e

In the September American Magazine,
David Grayson, author of "Adventures
in Contentment," writes a
dissertation on "The Friendly Road,"
entitled "I Grapple With the City.'
The following is an extract :
"I remember how, once in my life,
[ wasted untold energy trying to make
jver my dearest triends. There was
Harriet, for example, dear, serious,
practical Harriet. I used to be fretted
by the way she was forever trying to

tjeep me close to the quiet and friendly
and unadventurous roost! We come
by such a long, long road, sometimes,
to the acceptance of our nearest friends
