P-, ; and took away our dear old mother, who was making her eighty-seventh ^birthday. Sarah M. Cox was a wife of William P. Cox, who served four years in the civil war. She claimed heart-felt religion for several years. The writer thinks she lived it up to the day of her death. She used all manner of care in training her children in early age, some of whom honors dear mother for those lasting principles that she printed in our lives. She was a good neighbor, a good wife, and a good mother. Three of the sweetest names on earth, mother, home and Heaven. I remember she often told me her peace was made with God, therefore, she must have died in the Lord. She left eight children, thirty grand ^children, and fourteen great grandchildren to mourn our loss. Though we grieve to see her leave us, it is her eternal gain. , Children, will you meet me over yonder. In that city paved with gold; t Yes, dear mother, we will meet you, .

" y * * i Did you ever go into a town and, as r you stepped from the train, have it strike you suddenly that the town was dead ? Have you ever hud a town described to you as a "dead" town? Have you ever stopped to analyze just what is meant by these words J "dead town?" In the last analysis they mean just one thing?and that is that the merchants of the town don't advertise. A dead town has certain positive aspects of demise which are as bold as a piece of crepe hanging one fh door of a private house. The stores seem to be mere ly existing. Their shelves are covered with apparently unsaleable goods. The storekeepers seem to be vying with each other to see which will win the first prize as the town grouch. If you talked with them they knocked the town, they knocked business, the; knocked the mail order house.

"What course will you pursue and what measures will you advocate in the future?" was the question put to Mr. Bryan. "I expect to deal with such questions as may arise from time to time," he replied. "What will you fight for during the next several years?" was asked. "I am for peace, I am for woman sun rage and prohibition 111 the States until they are ready for national action/' replied the former secretary of state. "Will you meet Mr, Ford and his peace party V he was asked. * "I am expecting to go, but 1 am not absolutely certain," replied the Com? 111 oner. In addition to the economic questions which will be at issue next year there is the peace question. That is a great question just now. It is really the overshadowing* question at this time. It presents three phrases, keep ing out of this war ourselves, avoiding a policy that will provoke future wars, and to do what we can to end the war. "After the peace question the next coming issue, and it is not far off, the prohibition question. ~ I do not expect it to be in the campaign next , year, but at the rate it is growing in ine staios it is likely to be in national politics by 1920. "These are the three questions for the near futu. t, at least that is the prospect at this time, but predictions are no certainties, because allowance has to be made for unexpected things which may hasten or retard coming reforms." o GOVERNOR RETURNED FROM CHARLESTON Gov. Manning and bis private secretary, O. K. LaRouque, returned, from Charleston last week, where they were in attendance on the Southern Commercial Congress. Both are full of praise for the way in which the convention went off and especially the hospitality of the people of Charleston. Gov. Manning believes the congress will result in great good for the South and for the State of South Carolina especially. The governor took up the many matters which had accumulated during his absence and spent the day attending to his correspondence and receiving visitors and callers at the office on official business. o NOTICE.
