The meeting was called to order at noon in the court house, J. B. Felton, county superintendent of education, having charge of the organization. Mr. FeltoD, stated the purpose of thc' meet ing and a temporary organization took place, followed by the selection of of ficers. Dr. W. A. Trippe was elected president of the association, J. M. Garrett first vice-president, C. C. King*sccond vice-president and Dr. C. L. dry ton secretary. The chairman appointed a commit tee cbnipoeed of Prof. J. H. Watkins, J. W. Sanders and J. B. Spearman to present at the next meeting of the association a complote constitution' and a set of by laws, lt was moved that the committee) \incorporate i>\ these rules a section Baying that any school trustee in the county failing to appear at a certain number of the meetings in the course of a yea: would cease to be a trustee and that the county board would bc petitioned to appoint a successor. In all prob ability this will anoear in the rule? presented. By a rising vote the trustee re elected Miss Maggie Carlington as supervisor of rural schools for An derson county, provided thc necessary money with which to pay her salary can be secured from the State. The association also passed resolu tions thanking Mis3 Carlington and G. W. Chambers for the splendid suc cess of the county field day, held here recently. .

Uf Real Earnest Yesterday marked the-first day of hu crusade recently decided upon tere to clean-up and palnt-up the city >f Anderson and the ladies of the city, .vith trie assistance of the men, went it the job ia the early morning as Joyously and as enthusiastically as would have a crowd of college boys bad they planned to ?"paint the town red." Baily in the morning the ladies appeared on the streets with the pret ty little buttons bearing inscription, "Clean-Up and Paint Up. I will. Will [You" and every man they met jwas duly pinned. Wbmen too were In cluded tn the list and by night it was quite an oddity to meet either a man or woman on the street without the already-familiar little button. The smell of fresh paint was every where in'the city, the rake and the. lawnmower were busy and the sani tary department was working over time {n hauling away the garbage and refuse collected from hundreds ot back yards!
