Thc spirit of enterprise shown by the Farmers um) Merchants Hunk or thiH eily in evolving n plan to en courage the raising of goo<l hogs and stock m Anderson County IH cora inecduble lu Hie highest degree Ttl? plan is advertised in Tlie Intelligen cer 'hit- morning und should prove cl interest every young farmer of 'he community. Briefly slated, the plan Is to loan money to the young farmer boys to buy u pair of hogs of good strain or (rattle of good stock, thus enabling them to get good stock willi which to muke a beginning. The hunk proposes to lend the money at a very moderate rate of Interest. "The hush ess. If properly looked after, will be self supporting in a lit tle while and then wlil become u source of profit," Haid President J lt. V'andiver of this hank yesterday. There hi much Bl ress t.) be laid on this statement-"if properly looked after.In fact, it might be said, that !s the secret of success In any under taking-proper attention. The farmers of this section of thc country have been told so many times thut they eventually will be compelled to look to nome other source t un cotton for their money and that stock raising holds out better opportunities of profit than nio?t any other ven ture they might undertake, further talk along this line ls unnecessary. The proposition put forth by the Farmers and Merchants Hank is set out in these words: "In order to encourage hog raising in Anderson County. The Furniers and .Merchants Hank will be pleased to loan money to young farmer boys to buy a pair of hogs of good strain of blood and in tills way enable you to make a beginning at raising hogs. We will also be glad to aid you in getting cattle of good slock to raise from. We will also aid you as fur UH we can in finding and purchasing th? hogs and cattle. We will loan you this mouey at i very moderate rate of interest. Tho business if properly looked after will be self-sustaining In a little willie and then will become a source of profit. A STEP BACKWARD. The action of the trustees of th? county in abolishing the office of rural school supervisor is one that wc feel sure will bo deeply regretted hv the people generally and an action that would not have taken pla -e hau nil the trustees in the county been awake to the situation and had an swered tlte letter written to them in regard to this matter several days ago by the county board of education. The cause of this action is said to bo 'or the waut of $250. This amount baa been coming from the Peabody fund, but is available no longer, ll ls understood that the other money with which to pay the salary and ex pense of such an office cam > from the county board school fund. Anderson County has 92 schools with an en roll ment of pupils numbering 11.000 and we feo! sure that each school would be willing to subscribe its fdtare of the necessary $250 to main tain, this office, if thia be tho reason for its discontinuance. A letter from the trustees of one school In the county stated that they would be will ing to give $25.00 toward keeping this office. Through the office of rural Behool supervisor nearly 75 rural school im prvoement associations have boen formed, so many that Anderson Coun ty leads in the State and is the ban ner county. All this work has been done in the past wo years. These as sociations have raised funds sufficle.it to purchase approximately $6,000 worth of school furniture and Ox turee, really necessary to tho run ning of the schools properly. Through them libraries have been formed aud old ones have added new books. Are all of these associations to perish? No, not necessarily so but all such gencraly do without a loader to keep them imbibeu with the aplrlt of their organisation. The field day exercises held In An derson this spring waa one of tho greatest things that has ever hap pened In this county in the way of an educational rally, and the office of rural school supervisor was largely responsible for lt. Such exercises as these cause the children fo Imitate one another with the desire to excel Another object of this office is fi create a bond of sympathy through the rural school improvement associa tions between the teacher and tho . parent, a very necessary feature In the running of a good school. We. sincerely hope that the trus tees ot tho schools in the county wth they have made a mistake and In July think over this action, decide thal vote to re-establish thia office Which haa done so much for the county in the past two years. ' Every county superintendent needs ono to help him in hts work and we know of no office bettef*Chaa that of rural school supervisor. & MYPHILOSOFY CIAMESVBITCOMB RILEY [Per vid in' ?TO listen airit.ner dori i ptendtobe!

There ?B no disguising the fact that in submarines the 'Mited States navy is weak, and that of such as it lias many are of old types. The small flotilla that served with Admiral Fletcher's fleet in the navy war game made a sorry exhibition. But lt must be kept in mind that the navy department .ms about completed plans for twenty-six new submarines for lmmediute const ruction. It is only titree months since congress adjourned after making the largest appropriation for submarines in the history of t'.ie navy. It is not yet timo to abandon all hope and seek comfort in abuse of everything and everybody connected with the department. In his persistent attacks upon the navy Representativo (lardner of Massa chusetts revels In personalities and calls names like an 111 manuered boy in the street. Because of the noise he makes bc lias attracted more attention to himself than to the merits of any case he has had to offer. If he were less interested in pluylug partisan politics, he would start with the whole truth. lt is congress tli.it determines what appropriations shull be made for naval purpose and until lust winter congress never attached sufficient importun?e io submarines. As a matter of fact, although he has served seven terms in the house, Rep resentative Gardner, as a navul authority, has not been regarded with enough lesnjsct to secure a place at the bunds of his own party on the committee on nuvul affulrs. Nor was the new policy of the department and congress of greatly increasing the.submarine ffeet In any way due to bis intluence. Soberer minds have created N navy which even Admiral Dewey ventures to uBHiime 1? worthy of the nation's confidence. PRESS COMMENT And End of Watchful Walting j the handling and distribution of Im?

The following incident touk place at a party some little lime ago.

Uv and by. after a dance, the young fellow ventured to ask after ber mother, the countess. "My ." '.her, you mean," said tlie young lady (the mother being dead.) "No, no-no." said the bewildered youth. "I was asking after your mother, the Countess of Ayr." "Yes, I know." was the reply, "but that's my father." Whereupon the young gentleman rushed off and told his hostess that the young lady must be quite mad. as she told him the' Countess of Ayr waa her father. "So ho is," unawered thc hostess.

A rigid inspection of the milk sup- ( ply, whether from the dairy or frons the private home where milk is sold, should be made by the city health officer especially during the summer mouths and frequent samples from all these thoroughly tested, not only for fat but for dirt and bacteria. The importance of the milk control cannot be overestimated, lt ls the consensus of opinion among men who have, given this subject much thought and study and who know, that un clean milk, or thc improper prepara tion and care ot milk in the home, ia responsible for a large share of the increase in Infant death rate that comes with the hot season, lt ls the city's duty to see that the people can buy clean mila; it If the parents duty to see that it is kept clean. It Is now au established fact that the germ of the dreaded cholera infantum ori ginates wiUi the cow excretla, and that dirty milk and the house fly are the carriers td the infection. Flies carry the m't-etion not only to the exposed milk but directly to the baby's mouth and to the nipple of its bottle. Destroy the breeding places of these pests and this can be done most effectually by giving the health officer of our city the power to compel ti e collection of all garbage and re fuse and tuen adequate facilities for dirposlng of same.
