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. .

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.
