C., Oct. 4.?Memorial services in all counties of the State, to be held on Sunday, October 19, at which the public be invited to participate, the returned soldiers and sailors to take part and the n^mes of South Carolinians fallen in battle during the' great war to be read, has been suggested by the South Carolina memorial commission. A Letters have been sent out to all county, chairmen in the memorial Ifund campaign conveying this sug-1 ?estion, first advanced by former ! Governor Manning, who has stated j . hat at Sumter on one Sunday dur;ng the month there will be held a anion meeting in one of that city's churches, when appropriate memorial exercises will be participated in by all denominations. In endorsement of the idea, the Columbia Record says editorially: "We ^re less than a year away from the last shot" that was fired in the war. This time last year our soldi-, wprp at. p*rins with the foe. and w" """ 7" o?x? each day as the casualty lists were printed they contained the names of South Carolinians fallen in battle or who had died in hospitals. Even after the armistice was signed the casualties were still rjeported, and we were well into the present year when j the last of these were received. Yet j how easily have we forgotten, many of us. How many people from any given county could even now tell you | : without referring to the records tfiev I i nair.es of those who went forth from : among them, or from their county, . and did not return?" These memorial services, held simi ultaneously throughout the State, ?vill ( l be largely attended. Appropriate ad. dresses will be made, and it is pro, posed, particularly, that in each county the names of those who gave j up their lives for the cause of human freedom and for civilization be hon- j , ored. | ' y I "SAFETY" MOVEMENT ON ALL RAILROADS , Plans are rounding into shape for] the greatest "safety" movement ever [ ! undertaken?the National Railroad ?

Duffy, manager of the safety section, division of operations, from Washington, while Mr. Anderson, with headquarters at Atlanta, will conduct the Southern Region's campaign. One of the first steps toward preparing railroad employees of the I South for the part they are to play will be the posting of an October calendar with the dates 18th to 31st in red in all stations, offices, tool houses, shops, cabooses and other places where they will attract attention. Industries along railroad lines will be asked to cooperate, especially in the way of removing^ unnecessary hazards and warning their own emfVio rlcmcrpr pv#?r nresent I | piujfctia wx vuv ? r on railroad tracks. Owners and drivers of automobiles also are to be called upon to help; Just before the drive begins, cards will be distributed among all who can be reached, urging them to be particularly careful in approaching grade crossings. In fact, the aid of the public, generally is wanted, because, while the record will be made as to rail- j road employees only, the plan involves an intensified drive to stop j accidents of any character on or | about railroad property. j ' I It Didn't Matter Then.

Then any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us ? dose o? Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. "We would not be without it, for it certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed."
