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 ■ r rental conditions, but in the } . majority of cases by a dis .» -ds-cJ UVER ■— THIS IS A FACT may be demonstra gc eour.T ■ , 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.

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. ■ ; (Signed) Mrs. A. C. Agnew, Mrs. | G. E.

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.
