Summerville, Ga., Aug. 26, 1909
Governor Brown has appointed Jo
seph F. Gray, of Savannah, to fill the
vacancy on the railroad commission
caused by tin suspension of S. O.
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
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
South; 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 wool and drawers of water for al
ii 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
other ways also life in the country
has been made more pleasant, and yet
there is the same stream of migra
tion from tile farm to the city. The
allurements of the city, however illu
sive some may be, are so many that
it is exceedingly difficult to check the
desire for urban life. In many In
stances the best remedy will probably
!.,■ 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 tolling 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 achools, land val
ues in a very few years advance to
double the amount of school-tax mon
ey voted. And this b but one of a
hundred ways in which better schools
pay for themselves many times over.
The whole life forth. community is
richer and finer wher ver there is a
good school at Its center; the cltl
sens 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
age 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 'lntensely 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
< luse of the increase in values that
always results from the presence of
sn intelligent citizenship.—Progres
sive Farmer.

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE.
A dispatch tree Montgomtry, Ala-,
«aj«: With five deaths from pellagra
in Butler county, three others dying
and three cases under observation
there is almost a panic in that
section. The state health depart
ment has been Importuned to send
help, but can not as Dr. Mason the oi
ly expert of this kind in the service of
the state, is investigating in Clark
county, where more than 100 cases
are reported. Nothing can be done
cither to suppress or control it. Coun
ty health officers have been instruct
ed to isolate all cases and watch
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
upon th<?use he makes of it. To spend
every dollar as fast as it is made or
earned is to face disaster and poverty
in the time of business depression
which Invariably follows, sooner or
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.
The Ga. peach 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
attributed largely to better methods
of marketing the crop. Here is more
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
engaged in any particular line of work
have it in their power to largely in
; crease the profits to be derived from
their work. But all these co-opera
tive associations must be organized
on strictly business principles. It
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
enthusiasm to take the place of
well-formulated plans of work. If
you see any place where your neigh
b< rs and yourself could work togeth
m to mutual advantage, call their
,attention to the opportunities you
. arc neglecting and see if you can’t
, 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
j which all the people and the city
[ authorities may engage in a systemat- i ,
!ic cleaning up of premises, alleys, |
streets and vacant lots. Dirt breeds!
flies and diseases, and that means dis I
comforts, ill health and suffering. In I ]
the spring before the hot weather
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 ,
wonders in the way of cleanliness,
health and attractiveness. |.

Expressions of Appreciation.
Editor Summerville News:
A quiet and beautiful expression of
i fellowship, such as that given to Mr.
I and Mrs. J. D. Remington of Menlo,
last Sunday and Monday, is an inci
dent worthy of emulation and as such
may be edifying to your readers, most
of whom will not otherwise hear of
it.
Mr. and Mrs. Remington left Tues-
I day morning, August 24th, for their
I 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
I Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyte
rian church called forth the expres
sions of appreciation which follow:
"As Mr. and Mrs. Remington have
: decided to move away from our part
! 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.
Remington a scholar and both beloved
we part from them with sincere re
gret; and our prayer is that God's
blessings may follow and rest upon
tnem in their new home.”
By the Committee,
MRS. H. J. 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
faithful and useful members and one
who will be sadly missed. Remember
I ing her long and devoted service in
{the society, it is fitting we should
; record some expression of apprecia
i tion of her service and our sorrow
to have her leave us We cordially
commend her to any sister society,
I and trust she may be an inspiration
to them as she has been a co-work
: er with us.

■ G. E. Martin, Mrs. O. D. Wyatt, Mrs.

A. J. Lawrence, Mrs B. F. Guille, Mrs
| R. A. McWhorter, Mrs. C. Morris, Miss
Nettie Wyatt, Miss Rosa Wyatt, Mrs.
R. Wyatt, Miss Anna Alexander.”
We too often forget how highly
such expressions are appreciated by
the recipients and held by them in
precious r< membrance, and that if we
utt. ’■ed ’hem more generously while
our frie ids are with us, they would
be lest- eager to part from us.
