TO END FRIDAY PROBABLY House and Senate Leaders Plan to Close Session as Soon as General Deficiency and Revenue Bills Can Be Gotten Through. Washington.?Congress is getting ready to adjourn next Friday, if possible, ignoring all threats of members to press special bills for consideration ! over protests of administration leaders. It is expected that a joint' resolution to provide for adjournment Friday evening will be submitted to both houses next week as soon as general deficiency appropriation bill has passed the house probably on Tuesday. Democratic leaders declare the resolution will be aderpted and that this will operate to check a threatened pro* longed fight in the senate over the Owen corrupt practices bill. Senator Smith of South Carolina, intends to seek another opportunity to pass the immigration bill. To clear the way for adjournment Majority Leader Kitchin sent urgent telegrams to all House absentees, asking that they return at once for the final legislative drive of the session. The House has the shipping bill as amended and the forthcoming revenue bill conference report to dispose of next week. In the Senate it is planned to lay j aside the revenue bill to pass the de- j ficiency appropriation bill as soon as it gets through the House. "vvnen tnat is aone, saia &enaior Simmons, chairman of the Finnance Committee, "all general debate on the revenue bill will halt, and it will be rushed through." If anything should happen to prevent adjournment next Friday, it will be necessary for Congress to stay over until the following week as President Wilson will be in New Jersey Saturday receiving formal notification of his nomination for re-election.

In memory of our kind mother, Harriet Susanna Caughman, wife of Capt. P. H. Caughman, was born May 11, 1841, and died May 28, 1916, just past her 75th birth day. She was the daughter of Samuel George and was born in Richland county. They moved to Lexington county when she was a little girl and settled at Laurel Falls, near Lexington village. She was married to Capt. P. H. Caughman, January 27th, 1856, to whom were born nine children, 5 sons and 4 daughters; one son and one daughter preceded her to the spirit land. She had 15 grand children, one t i I dead; she also leaves two orotners, S. P. and E. J. George, with a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. She was baptized in infancy, and early in life she joined St. Stephens Luthern church of Lexihgton and v/as regular in attendance at the house of God till she became too feeble to attend, but her heart was there, the feeble body could not quench the desire for fellowship and communion with her God. Her pastor visited her frequently during her late illness and on Easter Sunday administered the holy sacrament of the Lord's supper to her and others of the family, which he often did. She was laid to rest in the family grave yard where her remains now await the resurrection summons of her creator. She is survived by our dear father P. H. Caughman; sons Thos. H., J ? " l\if rlnnri-Vt namptori, v^uiin;^, mui^an, uaugliters Sue Shuil: Hatjie Corley and Bessie Sox. She is now at rest. Sickness came, long years of suffer'# Slowly did she fade away, And her face grew fairer, purer, :More unearthly every day, Till at last one Sabbath eve, Smiling like she was at rest, Did she die, and angels bore her To the mansions of the blest. Mothers love, so rich and tender, Uaht Trrirfli ie mill f inl \ar\ IjLVW ii/'o n vi cii 10 By the days of loss and sadness, That have come since mother died For the very joy and sweetness, Which her presence gave our home Only makes the loss more bitter, Now that we are left alone. Though I know that she is happy, With the ransomed sain is above, Oh how gladly would I purchase Just one smile of mother's love; Just one smile of sweet affection, Like the one she always wore; Just one gentle word of kindness, Just one kiss if nothing more. Yet we all will one day meet her In a home more bright than this, And our grief and loss and sadness Be exchanged for perfect bliss, Next to meeting Christ our Savior, Greater joy cannot be given. Than to nnd that in those mansions Will be mother, home and heaven. ?Hattie. When we look at some women's husbands we truly believe that love is blind* but we can't help thinking what a shock it would be, if they ever regained their sight. 4 'T no OAA7" J-IWJLV JL JL.
