IN MEMORY OF
MRS. E. A. BUTLER
Death, the severance of hu
man ties, always brings sadness
whether it comes to the infant
with all its life before it, or to
the aged with long years be
hind; whether it comes to the
poor and humble or to the weal
thy and distinguished. But why
should the Christians mourn so
much the loss of their loved
ones ? For what does death
mean to the Christian, if not a
transition from a life of toil,
sorrow, and disappointment to
one of peace, rest and happi-.
ness ?
No one ever assumed more
cheerfully the responsibilities of
a Christian life, or cherished a
more buoyant hope of its re
wards than did the subject of
this memorial.
Mrs. E. A. Butler was born in
Haywood county, N. C., Sept. 22
1833, being the daughter of Da
vid and Naomi Howell, and spent
her early girlhood in her native
state.
On Jan. 13, 1857, she was
married to G. W. Butler, of Wil
kinson county, who preceded her
to the grave Oct. 20, 1880. This
happy marriage was blessed
with ten children. Those sur
viving the mother, who died at
her home in Irwinton, July 20,
the present year (1912), are:
Mrs.B. S. Fitzpatrick of Twiggs
county, Mrs. J. H. Mullis of
Cochran, Messrs. R. H., J. E. and
C. O. Butler of Wilkinson coun
ty, and Messrs. G. R. and W. T.
Butler, of Savannah.
She joined the Baptist church
at New Providence, Wilkinson
county, in 1866, and was bap
tized by Rev. E. J. Coates, then
pastor of that church. Here she
was a regular attendant upon di
vine services and a devout wor
shiper the remainder of her life.
Her religion was her daily meat.
She was a constant reader of the
Bible, and was well posted in its
great truths, about which she
delighted to talk. While she was
decided in her mode of worship
and was loyal to her own church
her tender sympathy and abid
ing charity gave her a broad
fellowship with all Christians.
The writer never knew a per
son that seemed to fill all rela
tions of life with a greater loy
। alty to duty. She was blessed
I with a comely person, a bright
' mind, and a cheerful, happy dis
! position, went through life bub
| bling over with gratitude to God
for His goodness, scattering sun
shine and happiness wherever
she went, and making friends of
those whom she met. Often the
death angel, with its somber
wings, hovered over her home,
but no shadow ever came so
dark as to obscure the light of
the Master’s face. Her faith al
ways looked up to Him what
ever sorrows befell her.
Her home life struck one in
its relations as mother and wife
as ideal in its kindliness, gentle
ness and service. Nothing was
too good, no service too great,
for those she loved. Even in her
last hours, when she was near
ing her last mile-post and her
physical strength ebbing low,
she was the ministering angel
that hovered over her sick son,
forgetful of her own infirmities
in her ardent efforts to serve
the one she loved.
She will be misled by many
whom she has cheered on over
the toilsome pathway of life;
they will not feel her bright,
sunshiny presence again. Above
all, she will be missed by those
whom she taught to lisp the ten
der name of mother. These will
not feel her kindly presence
again, or hear her gentle voice,
or enjoy her soothing touch.
She is gone, but a thousand
memories of sweet associations,
of unselfish service, of kindly
admonitions, more precious than
the gold of all the earth,—these
will linger to hallow and bless
the remaining days of her sons
and daughters.
As the tired child, after a
weary day, falls gently to sleep
in its mother’s arms, so this no
ble woman, after a long life of
work and watching and wait
ing, “fell on sleep,” exclaiming
in her last words, “Blessed
sleep! 0, how sweet!”

Will The REAL FREEMEN!
Uphold Wilson’s Hands? T
Woodrow Wilson has refused emphatically to accept contributions to
his Campaign Fund from the Interests, from corrupting influences, from
any questionable sources.
He has given us, the Democratic National Committee, to understand
that he will go into the White House with clean hands or not at all.
Who Is Getting The Money
of The Trusts?
So sure has been Wilson’s stand, so well known his Incor
ruptible purpose, that no private interests have dared to
approach either our candidate or his committee.
We have not been offered a penny by the trusts, and
we certainly have not solicited a penny from them. The
money of the Interests is being spent against Wilson. No
matter for whom—we need not discuss that here—it is now
common gossip that the money power of the nation is being
used in an attempt to defeat Woodrow Wilson.
What Is a “People’s Campaign?”
We are addressing ourselves to the real freemen of
America, the upright, Progressive Voters of the country
who are doing the work of the nation and not the work of
trusts and borses.
We realize that the salvation of every righteous cause
rests with you.
Often this cry of a People's Party or a People’s President
is raised by the very forces we seek to defeat and whom we
must and will defeat. But loos to our standard and our
standard bear-r and decide yourself as to which is the
People’s Campaign and mast, therefore, be fought with the
People’s money.
Woodrow Wilson Has Clean Hands
I
Woodrow Wilson is the cleanest man in national politl"!
He came of illustrious forefathers, who laid by blood and
heredity the foundation of a future President through gen
eration after generation of upright record.
If Wilson is to be elected it must be by clean money and
there is only one source of such money—from the voters of
the countr. who realize the importance of having a govern
ment uninfluenced by the almighty dollar.
Wilson s hr •’ds are clean.
Will you uphold them?
How Much Money Will You Give?
How Much Can You Raise?
There are big campaign expenses to be met if we are to
win on Election Day in November. We must tell the voters
। of the country about Wilson, what he is, what he has done
We must show them his record. We must show them his
platform. We must point out to them the features of his
platform which mean so much to this nation. This great
work will cost a lot of money. We must meet the usual
heavy toll necessary to present a platform and a candidate
to a hundred million. ,
Your dollar, your 25, your $lO, your S2O is needed. And
don't mistake—we want the man who can only afford the
one dollar. We need him. Ue need the woman who can
