GBN* CRAIG DBAD Away at 8t, Au*untine WhiU Attending National Convention The sudden death on Friday at St. Augustine, Fla., of Brigadier General Robert E. Craig, brings a feeling of genuine sorrow to his many friends in Camden and elsewhere, who?e sym pathies will go out to the bereaved family. The following Associated Press dispatch sent out Friday after noon from St. Augustine, gives an account of his death: A shadow was cast today over the national guard convention in session her# through the death of Brigadier General Rbert Craig, adjutant general of South Carolina, who was found dead in his room at a local hotel shortly after the noon' hour. General Craig attended the military ball last night and was then evidently in the best of health and spirits. Although he did not appear at the convention this morning, his absence was not surprising as it was thought he was probably sleeping late. How ever, when he failed to come down to luncheon, the door of his hotel room was forced open and the body found on the floor near the bed, fully clothed except for the coat which had been removed. Death was apon medical examina tion, pronounced due to heart failuro or apoplexy. He was the lone repre sentative here at the convention from South Carolina. General Craig, who was from Co lumbia, had lived for many years in Florida. The following account of Generai Craig's life is taken from Saturday's Columbia State: General Craig was the second South Carolina officer to die within a little more than two weeks. Bon neau Harris, commissioner of agri culture, commerce and industries, having died December 31, his birth day. General Craig's 46th birthday, was just two days vago, Wednesday, January 13. ? He was, also, the second consecu tive elected adjutant and inspector general to die in office, Gen. W. W. Moore having died shortly after h?i Was elected to the term preceding General*s Craig's first. Major Ru.fus Grant by appointment filled out the unexpired term of General Moore and when General Craig assumed office was made assistant adjutant and in spector general, which office he now holds. From 1896? until the time of his death, save for an interval of three years, General Craig had beeri con nected with the National Guard of South Carolina in various capacities. September 10, 1896, he began his military career, enlisting as a privatfe in the Richland Volunteer Rifle com pany. He organized the Second coast ar tillery company at Lancaster in 1908, and December 31, 1908, was commis sioned first lieutenant of the unit. In 1912 he moved from Lancaster, resigning his connection with the coast artillery unit to become captain of Company L, First infantry, South Carolina National Guard, at ^Iart3 ville, July 27, 1913. With the Hartsville company he served first in the Mexican border campaigns and with his command was then called into federal service April 12, J917. He: commanded the com pany, which became a unit of the One Hundred and Eighteenth infantry, Thirtieth division, through its train ing period and carried it to the trenches in France. Gassed, he was invalided to the rear, and August 9, 1919, was honorably discharged. For some months he was a patient at the government hospital at Ashe ville, from where he returned to Co lumbia to inaugurate his campaign for adjutant generalship. He was nominated in the first primary of August, 1922, defeating T. E. Mar chant of Orangeburg, and September 1922, to thoroughly acquaint himself with his new duties he became as sistant adjutant and inspector gen eral under Gen. Rufus Grant, serv ing for the unexpired term of Gen eral Moore. January 16, 1923, he took the oath of office as adjutant and inspector general and assumed rank as a brigadier general. The .primaries of 1924 brought his re election over John D. Frost of Spar tanburg for a second term, which he began January, 1925. His admininistration has been a no table season in the life of the state's National Guard and has witnessed the constant improvement of the organi- ? zation in the ..state, commended alike by state and federal authorities. Largely through his enterprise cer tain lands at the abandoned Camp Jackson were set aside by the fed eral government as a training cen ter for the South Carolina troops and here General Craig with funds supplied by the federal government, built a permanent National Guard camp, where last year the state in fantry unit* -b*i4 their annual cn canjpment.. ^ Apparently in the best of health General Craig left Columbia Tuesday might to attend the convention of the Natidnal Guard association at St, Augustine, Fla. lie was to have returned Sunday. General Oaig was born January 13< 1880, in Fairfield County, his parents being Robert K. and Eugenia Bookman Craig. When ho was two years old he moved with his parents to Columbia and was here educated in the Columbia public schools and, as he himself phrased it, "the uni versity of hard knocks." He was a graduate of the old Presbyterian high school of Columbia, one of the best schools of its kind in the state. He was an active member of the Shandon Presbyterian church and was a Mason, an Klk, a member of the American Legion and of the Focus club and various other organizations. Surviving him art?: his widow, who before her marriage was Miss Louise Mcllwaine, of Lancaster, two sons, Robert E. Craig, Jr., 17 and Edward Craig, 11; one brother, Marion B. Craig of Jacksonville, Fla., and four sisters, all of Columbia Mrs. H. D. Butler, Mrs. C. R. Sudaiu, Miss Ruth Craig and Mrs. L. R. Schwinn/ Friday Afternoon Coffee Talks Last Friday afternoon was the first in the series of coffeo talks to be given by Mrs. C. L. Winkler at the Woman's Exchange and it was a most charming affair and a success in every particular. Judge Winston of North Carolina gave an interesting talk. on his personal recollections of Walter H. Page, the eminent North Carolinian, whose dramatic life spanned the two greatest wars in history. Theee talks are to be given every Friday afternoon at 2:30, we understand, and the picturesque Ex change among the pines on Laurens street, which has recently been fitted up in new attire proves a most at tractive place for the meetings. A charming place at all times to spend the afternoon shadowed by the pines and floored by the slanting rays of sunshine. This afternoon, Mrs. E. C. von, Tresckow will speak on the South American Indians. An interesting subject and a fluent, graceful speaker assures an afternoon of profit and pleasure. Mr. W. R. Watkins and family have moved back to their, town home on Lyttleton street.

Mothers started using Vicks VapoRub for children's colds. That was over thirty years ago. And more and more mothers every year have been using Vicks ? now over 21 million jars are used yearly. It is today the first thing a mother thinks of when her child begins to sniffle or sneeze or show any signs of catching cold. And you grown ups, remember this: Vicks is also the best thought for your own colds ? because Vicks Attacks Them Two Ways At Once (1) Its mcdicatcd vapors (released by the body heat) are inhaled right to the inflamed air pas sages, loosening the phlegm and casing the difficult breathing. Ac the same time, (2) It acts through the skin like an old-fashioned poulticc, ' drawing out' ' the tightness and sore ness, and thus helping the vapors inhaled to break up the congestion. This double action of Vicks usually relieves the most stubborn cold over night.
