Washington, Aug. 2G.?Standing beside the tomb of George Washington, Viscount Ishii, head of the special Japanese mission, today pledged eternal friendship of his people to the United States and voiced a message to the world that Japan is in the war with every ounce of her strength and resources and will fight to the bitter end for her allies. "There is gulf between the ancient east and the new-born west too deep and wide for the henrtc ami derstandings of her people to cross," declared the Japanese diplomat. A minute later, with his eyes raised to the blue vault above, he said: "Japan is proud to place herself beside her noble allies this high resolve to fight for justice and against war aggression, and here, in the presence of these deathless ashes, she reaffirms her devotion to the cause and principles for which they waged hattie, fully determined to do her whole part in securing for the world the lilessings of liberty, justice and lasting peace." When he ceased speaking, Viscount Ishii stepped into the tomb and reverently laid an immense wreath alongside the tributes from France, (treat Britain, Belgium and the other nations who have sealed their promises of devotion to the common cause of justice and humanity on the spot where rests the ashes of the immortal Washington. At Mount Vernon. Count Ishii and the Japanese mission were taken to Mt. Vernon today on the Mayflower as the guests of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Members of the cabinet, high officials, government, army and navy officers, members of congress and the civilian lieutenants of the president in prosecuting the war were present and gave a hearty welcome to the visitors from overseas. None of the visits paid to Washington's tomb by other missions have combined the dramatic with such a show of reverence as was witnessed today. There could be no mistaking the absolute sincerity of Viscount Ishii and he delicately made reference to the ripples that have occurred from time to time in the diplomatic seas between the two countries and declared the wish of his sovereign and his people to be the formation of indissoluble ties with the United States wmcn win lorever banish all doubts as to the attitude of Japan toward this government. When he made his declarations, his voice was clear and strong, the little group about the tomb showed its appreciation by spontaneous and prolonged appllause. Impressive. Not even Marshal Joffre, idol of the allied nations, evoked the enthusiasm which greeted the visitors from the land of cherry blossoms. And on the other hand, none of the representatives of our allies who have visited Mt. Vernon have demonstrated a greater interest in the shrine of Ame* ican liberty, and in hearing details of the private life of General Washington and his family. On the trip down the Potomac the members of the mission were made to feel thoroughly at home and mingled indiscriminately with the diplomats and statesmen on board. By the time Mt. Vernon was reached, the visitors were chatting with their hosts and hostesses as if they had been here for years instead of only three or four days. Secretary Daniels made a brief address when the tomb was reached, in which he assured Japan of the friendship and regard of this nation. He referred to the visit of Commodore Perry to Japan in the early 50's and the ratification of the treaty of 1855 as a result. Mr. Daniels said: To End Feudalism. "Today, with stronger ties than ever, woven out of the threads of our mutual participation in the world Iwioe struggle to insure to all mankind the right to live their own lives and pursue their own national ideals, Japan and America pause at the torn!) of Washington, in the hope that there may fall upon us all a double portion of his spirit of faith in the triumph of the right and his readiness to make the supreme sacrifice for the principles for which America, Japan and their allies are now contending in the area of war. They have drawn the sword to end military feudalism. They will sheath it only in a victory that will guarantee permanent peace." The secretary then formally presented Viscount Tshii, who said: "In the name of my gracious sovereign, the emperor of Japan, and representing all the liberty loving people who own his swav. I stand tndav in this sacred presence?not to eulothat were presumption?hut to offer gize the name of Washington?for the simple tribute of a people's reverence and love. Citizen of the World. "Washington was an American, but America, great as she is, powerful as she is, certain as she is of her splendid destiny, can lay no exclusive claim to this immortal name. Washington is now a citizen of the world: todav he belongs to all mankind. And 80 men come here from the ends of the earth to honor his memory and to reiterate their faith in the principles to which his preat life was devoted. "Japan claims ei.trance to this holy circle. It is fitting then that men who love liberty and justice hetJei than they love life?that men who know what honor is?should seek this shrine and here, in the presence of these sacred ashes, rededicate them NEGRO PREACHER LYNCHED.

WILKINSVILLE l* Wilkinsville, Aug. 22.?It was the writer* pleasure to attend a family reunion of Mrs. W. H. Sanders of 0 Kelton on the 17th of this month. Mrs. t Sanders is 73 years of age and is hale a and hearty for one of such an age. " She is the widow of the late Wm. H. e Sanders whose death occurred three years ago. Mr. Sanders was a gallant Confederate soldier and his deeds of e patriotism have ever lived in the lives of his comrade-in-arms. Mrs. San" ders has nine living children and 72 " grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren, most of whom were with her c on this day beside a large number of ^ friends numbering more than one hundred. The day was an ideal one. The s sun shone upon the earth in radiant beauty. The blue sky above gave eviy dence of the beauty of God's handi~ work. Care and worry gave way to ' thoughts of pleasure and happiness when we meet in such happy gatherh ings. A table was spread that fairly ? groaned beneath a heavy burden of >" good things to eat, cooked in the best ' of style, together with that beef hash V that has long made the "ridge" fad mous for its barbecues of ante bellum days. After everybody had eaten to s the heart's content there yet remained ~ enough to feed nearly as many more. " Happy conversation was engaged in - then until the shadows of the even " ing began to lengthen, when all bade " Mrs. Sanders adieu and wished her many more such happy events, t We spent the night with Mr. Will a Howell of Pinkney while over on the "ridge" last Friday and the next day s attended the picnic given by the teachs ers and pupils of the Howell school, f This school was created by the consolidation of the Mt. .loy and Piney f Grove schools. They have one of the s most up-to-date buildings to be found anywhere, built in the latest design, " located in a beautiful section midwav ' between the two old houses, fitted with e piazzas, cloak rooms and closets, evh erythina" that specks of thrift and up11 to-date men at the head of this new building. VVe understood that its promoters were the Messrs. Garners, j Howells, Goings, Inmans and many others whose names we can't recall. The teachers are Misses Willie Ingram, one of "our" girls, and whose quiet manners make her a young ladv that is most fitted to teach the youth of any section their first lessons in e the virtues of noble womanhood and e of what it takes to make manhood c great; the other teacher is a Miss ^ Hatchett. We learned that both of , these young ladies held the respect and confidence of both patron and e pupil. Again, as on the previous day, P we were invited to partake of the barbecue and picnic dinner, cooked by that veteran, Mr. Lee Howell, together with the other good things that the ladies had prepared made this meal n one suitable to set before the most . fastidious ones, and again that kind hospitable way in which it was served did any one good. We have always e heard that "Pea ridge" was famous " for its kind, generous and hospitable , ppeople and here we can assure the reader of the truthfulness of this statement. We have rarely ever en= joyed two days more than we did these two that we have just spoke of. We truly hope that it may be our happy lot to spend many more such days with these good people. Mr. Robert Fowler, who has been very low with fever, is thought to be some better: Kuth Strainfell fell from a mule yesterday while riding horseback and dislocated her arm at the elbow. Dr. Hood was called and soon had the , limb put back in its place. Mr. W. M. Vaughn. an old Confed'' erate soldier of this neighborhood, was buried at Mesopotamia yesterday afternoon. Mr. Vaughn had been sick y a long time and his death was not 1 unexpected. He was a true man in everything that the word implies. All "" who knew him respected him for his { upright life and his noble deeds to mankind. Mr. Vaughn figured in some of the most prominent battles of the sixties and now we can only say, "Peace to his ashes." S. J.

DON'T TAKE CHANCES IF CHILD'S TONGUE IS COATED If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious, Clean Little Liver and Bowels. A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, auiiimuu suur. Look at the tongue, Mother! If coaed, if your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, fuil of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleansing" is oftrmes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
