Governor Brown has appointed Jo- '
seph F. Gray, of Savannah, to fill the
vacancy on the railroad commission 1
caused by the suspension of S. G.
McLendon. .
Advertisements tell more than the
mere message on their face. They
tell that the firm making use of them ‘
is prosperous and progressive. They J
show that the firm thinks enough of
your patronage to ask for it.
Much is being said just now about
the vast undeveloped resources of the
Scuth; and the resources are unques
tionably here. They will be develop
ed too. The only question is by whom
it is to be done. If the children of
the South are given practical train-\
ing in the arts and scienes, they
will do the work and reap the profits
from it; if they are permitted to grow
up ignorant and untrained, men from
other sections will take charge of the
work and get the profits, and our
children will be made mere hewers
of wood and drawers of water for al
k n capital and alien knowledge.—
Progressive Farmer.
Telephones, trolly lines and rural
mail delivery have greatly reduced
the isolation of farm life, formerly
one of its greatest bugbears. In many i
'ocher ways life in the country
has been made more pleasant, and yet I
there is the same stream of migra
tion from the farm to the city. The ;
allurements of the city, however illu
sive some may be, a.e so many that
it is exceedingly difficult to check the
desire for urban life. In many in
stances the best remedy will probably
be found in shorter hours of labor,
except in special seasons, and in let
ting the children have a more direct
share in the management and pro
ceeds of the farm. When a young
fellow toiling long hours on the farm
thinks of some friend of his who has
gone to the city, dresses well, gets
fair wages, limited hours of labor and
all Sunday to himself, and then
thinks of himself toiling long hours
every day for small renumeration he
is not unlikely to also respond to-the
call of the city.
Probably in every community which
votes local tax for schools, land val
ues in a very few years advance to
double the amount of school-tax mon
ey voted. And this is but one of a
hundred ways in which better schools
pay for themselves many times over.
The whole life for the community is
richer and finer wherever there is a
good school at its center; the citi
zens feel a pride in it such as they
never felt before, and everything in
the neighborhood begins to catch step
with the new standard of progress
thus set up. It is not the fertility of
the land that makes it valuable; it is
the intelligence of the community in
which it is situated. Land in Africa
to-day is more fertile than the aver- i
. ge Southern farmer of the uplands
ever saw, but it is practically worth
less because of an ignorant popula
tion, while land in Belgium, original
ly little more than a sand-waste, has
become intensely valuable by reason
of the presence of an intelligent pop
ulation, and intensely fertile by rea
son of the wise methods of cultivation
practiced by these intelligent farmers
Even if a man has no boy or girl to
send, the school tax investment is a
good one for any property-holder be
cause of the increase in values that
always results from the presence of
an intelligent citizenship.—Progres
sive Farmer.
t'ACT
BOUT THE “BLUES’*
What is known as the “Blues”
i sdom occasioned by actual exlst

M
dispatch from Montgomery, Ala.,
With five deaths from pellagra
in Butler county, three others dy |ng
,rva» ion
and three cases under 01,8 uuU
there is almost a p “ n
section. The stat ” *“’“ d to send
ment has been Mason the Ot
help, but can *£ d in the service of
ly expert Os th Jnveßtlga ting in Clark
the Btat<^ here more than 100 eases
‘““"reported. Nothing can be done
ciUier to suppress or control it. Coun
ty health officers have been instruct
ed to isolate all cases and watch I
them to determine whether they are
infectious.
Evidences multiply that this coun
try has entered upon a new era ,of <
commercial prosperity. How benefi- .
cial this prosperity may prove to the
average man and his family depends j,
upon the* use he makes of it. To spend (
every dollar as fast as it is made or ! (
earned is to face disaster and poverty I E
in the time of business depression | (
which invariably follows, sooner or s
later, a period of good times. The ;
opportunity for providing for a rainy (
day is not when stocks are tumbling, ,
factories closing and men by the
thousands are thrown out of employ
ment but when prices and wages are |
good and employment abundant.
1i
The Ga. poach crop this year netted
the growers a profit of half a mil- [
lion dollars. Last year 6,000 cars
brought about $1,000,000; this year.
|2,000 cars brought about the same
amount. The difference in price is j
attributed largely to better methods
of marketing the crop. Here is more j
proof, if more proof could be needed,
that it pays farmers to co-operate,
and that the way to co-operate is
to get at it on a business basis, says '
the Progressive Farmer. - ’ By work- !
ing together for a common object the
farmers of any neighborhood or those I
j engaged in any particular line of work '
have it in their power to largely in
crease the profits to be derived from |
j their work. But all these co-opera-
I tive associations must be organized
lon strictly business principles. Itl
I isn’t worth while to take up the half
> done ideas of any promoter who is
governed more by sentiment than by
: business sense or to expect sporadic
i enthusiasm to take the place of I
well-formulated plans of work. If
you see any place where your neigh- |
be rs and yourself could work togeth- ’
er to mutual advantage, call their
attention to the opportunities you I
are neglecting and see if you can't j
agree on a plan for concerted effort. |
The habit will grow on you, and It
will be a money-making habit.
Every place, small or great, should
have a day in spring or summer on
which all the people and the city
I authorities may engage in a systemat
ic cleaning up of premises, alleys,
streets and vacant lots. Dirt breeds
flies and diseases, and that means dis
comforts, ill health and suffering. In
the spring before the hot weather
i comes is the best time for such a city
housecleaning, even as prevention is
better than cure. But if the spring
passed without such an occasion a
day in summer devoted to it will work
1 , wonders in the way of cleanliness,
health and attractiveness.

Lyerly, Ga., Aug. 25. —The public
school at Lyerly will begin Monday,
j Sept. 6, with Prof. Willford McCutch
en as principal, and Miss Lucie Por
ter, assistant.
The parents should start their chil
dren the first day and endeavor to

much better results may be obtained
by so doing.
For the last year or two Lyerly has
had one of the best schools in the

eration of the parents the trustees
are counting on the best year’s work
in the history of the school. The
teachers realize they are facing a
great responsibility and sincerely
implore the assistance and co-opera

Expressions of Appreciation.
Editor Summerville News: —
A quiet and beautiful expression of
fellowship, such as that given to Mr.
and Mrs. .1. D. Remington of Menlo,
last Sunday and Monday, is an inci
i dent worthy of emulation and as such
may be edifying to your readers, most
of whom will not otherwise hear of
i it.
Mr. and Mrs. Remington left Tues
day morning. August 24th, for their
; new' home near Orlando, Fla., having
sold their little farm and most of
their possessions.
The resignation of Mrs. Reming
ton as Superintendent of the Alpine
j Sunday school and as president of the
j Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbytc
| rian church called forth the expres
| sions of appreciation which follow:
“As Mr. and Mrs. Remington have
j decided to move away from our part
i of the country, we the Alpine Sunday
school, take pleasure in recording the
love and esteem which we have cher
ished for them during the years they
have been so faithful and devoted to
our Sunday school. With Mrs. Rem
ington our Superintendent and Mr.
i Remington a scholar and both beloved
I we part from them with sincere re
gret; and our prayer is that God’s
blessings may follow and rest upon
: taem in their new home.”
By the Committee,
MRS. 11. I. GARVIN,
MRS. A. C. AGNEW,
MRS. J. P. AGNEW,
“The following resolutions were
adopted by the Presbyterian Ladies’
Aid Society of Menlo, Ga:
“In Mrs. Remington's removal from
; us, our society loses one of its most
J faithful and useful members and one
Iw ho will be sadly missed. Remember
' | ing her long and devoted service in
the society, it is fitting we should
j record some expression of apprecia
| tion of her service and our sorrow
■ v to have her leave us. We cordially
’! commend her to any sister society,
■ | and trust she may be an inspiration
'■ \to them as she has been a co-work
'• er with us.

1 i A. J. Lawrence, Mrs B. F. Guille, Mrs
: It. A. McWhorter, Mrs. C. Morris, Miss
Nettie Wyatt, Miss Rosa Wyatt, Mrs.
' ; R. Wyatt, Miss Anna Alexander.”
We too often forget how highly
suqh expressions are appreciated by
the recipients and held by them in
precious remembrance, and that if we
uttered them more generously while
our friends are with us, they would
1 ;be less eager to part from us.
