There ls a delightful camping par ty at Halley's ferry on Savannah river conducted and chaperoned hy Dr. and l-'.in. J. N. I.and of Starr. They have named their camp the vitiwrslde Camp." and they now have thirty o<ld cong?diai persons camp Mi out. there lu the tent*, and "shacks" constructed o.i Dr. w. I. ?Halley's property. They have built a danni;-: pavilllon, and cook "shacks" and oth er temporary BIHMIB for every need that Hhould make itself felt in ij camp. Yesterday there was a large auto mobile party from there In the city advertising the camp, by parading through the principle streets of the city with banners strung along side tho cur, advertising the many de lightful features of the camp, and the very < heap price at which board can be had. The Indies of the party were no less enthusiastic over fhe attractions of HI verni.Ie Camp than Dr. Halley, i They were all loud in their praises of Dr. and Mrs. Land, the managers. Thoy state that they are having fine fishing, delightful bathing anJ boat ing, splendid horse back riding and thh. together fi'h a fine table and congenial neopte was about all that any sensible person could ask for on a camping trip. The ladles composing thc Feanter automobile boosting 'party which vl3< lied Anderson yesterday were: Mrs. Jones of Starr. MIBB Annie Halford, o? Blackville, Miss Mildred Goode of Shelby, N. C., and Misses Mattie Hall and Lois,. Heese of Anderson. The genial Dr. W. I. Halley, who has done a great deal on both sides of the river toward the Improvement of the public roads between Anderson and liait well, was thc gentleman behind the steering wheel. The members of this "boosting par ty were no enthusiastic about River side camp that they made the Intelli gencer scribe want to go right on out there. In fact, if the food, and at tractions mentioned are anywhere near ns good as pictured, this camp ing sltf lias Atlantic City, and all other ROO side resorts backed off the boards ?ur a place to spend a nice, restful vacation. Work of the Housewives' League. The Housewives' league is building up a great organization of Intelligent buyers with the intention to equalize tho price paid by the housewife, with the cost of foo?! from the farm or mill, and to perfect th? pure-food propa ganda and improve upon the present clumsy pure-food liws-for verify the housewife ls the court of final appeal, and what she says "goes." A dozen committees from as many different organizations might call on a grocer and protest against his sell ing "oxide of copper peas," or "for maldehyqde milk,'* Out if uninformed housewives kept calling for this stuff. Hans Schmidt would continue to sell lt, but let a half dozen of Herr Schmidt's housewife customers mod estly suggest that lr he did not handle pu:e food they would transfer their patronage to one who did. Herr Schmidt would obey with alacrity. He would search the utmost marts of trade for food that would meet the apuroval ot his housewife customers and shun with fear and trembling anything that bore the stamp of doubt. The Intelligent buyer H through the Housewives' League are miking honest grocers, and through the grocers this principle ls filtering back to the Jobbing houses, and the Jobber is handing lt back to the man ufacturer, and thus the Housewives' league ls making intelligent buyers, and intelligent buyers aro doing more to purify the American Food Indus try than all our clumsy md compli cated federal laws.-"How to Batt and Enjoy Life," by Eugene Chris tlon, in National Magazine for Juno.

The climb yesterday afternoon was the second that he had made since he came out of the hospital. "I am well pleased with Anderson," said Mr. Gardiner, "and from the looks of things around here, by next spring you will have some higher buildings for me to climb than you have now. It seems that Anderson ls a growing town and I like it." Capt.

They are: Robinson's Famous shows, Gentry Hros., Dog and l'on y Show and F-ugenback and Wallace ag gregation. This means that there will be throe big show days thiB year When every body will get tho show fever. The little boy will get up before day lo see the circuses unload, and every body In the city will at least see the parade. The people in the country will rise before dawn and come to town, th object of all being to get tiere in timo for the parade, whether they go to see tho shows or not. Tito negroes will all be here, too. Those will be great days for 'them and soon as the announcement in regard to the shows becomes known, they will begin talking about them, an saving up their nickels and dimes for the "circus." -o George H.

The plan of the paving here, the ma terial being used and the manner in which it is being done, was adopted Dy the .Southern Public Utilities com tany after carefuly study of track paving done in other large cities and sifter experiments of their own. When finished the Job will be sec ond to none In the United iXatai and will bo better than can l*e found in Winston-Salem, Charlotte and other cities where the traction companies are owned by the Southern Public Utilities company.
