During last week some of the most '
active women of the Methodist
church gave much of their time in
preparing for the observance of
Children's Day, which had been appointed
to take place at that time.
Among the other things done was ]
decorating the annex and near it
with potted plants and flowers beau- ^
tifully arranged so as to be attractive
to the eye of the beholder.
In these later times the arrangement
of a suitable program for such
occasions has been much simplified
by the Southern Publishing House,
Nashville, which several years ago
began to issue printed programs, in
pamphlet form to all congregations
for a small price. These are now
sent out to all Sunday Schools wanting
them. When all was in readiness,
at 11 a. m., the exercises were
begun.
1st. Processional. "We are little
soldiers marching."
"* ? r?
2nd. Prayer by the pastor, nev.
J. C. Chandler.
3rd. The announcement of theme
of Children's Day program by Superintendent,
Dr. J. B. Moseley.
4th. Salutatory, "Soldiers of
strife and peace."
Certain other selections suitable
were taken from the program which
made of the observance one to be
remembered.
Mrs. R. E. Moseley and her littla
daughter, Ellen, came down from
Anderson Saturday and took part in
the exercises of the following day.

part.
Mr. G. W. Speer and little son of
Gaffney, the first a prominent member
of the Bar at that place, spent
several days here last week.
Mr. E. J. Huckabee went to Anderson
Monday on business.
Mr. Will Adams, constable, and his
friend, Mr W. R. Campbell, of Starr,
were here Tuesday, the first on a
hunt for a law-breaker.
Col. Tom Swift and his son, Mr.
Jas. Swift, of Elberton, Ga., came
over Tuesday in their auto, bringing
with them Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Hancock,
of Brandon, Tex., who came
here to visit "he brother of the latter,
Mr. John Young, who lives three
miles east of this place. Mrs. Hancock
was raised in the Fork about
four miles south, and had not visited
the section of her nativity for quite
a number of years.
Dr. P. B. Speed and Mr. C. E.
Williamson, of Abbeville, came up
Wednesday and were here for some
hours on business.
Mrs. J. C. Chandler and Mrs. J.
B. Moseley went to Anderson Thursday
to do some shopping.
Col. William Miller of Anderson,
came down Thursday and has since
been the guest of Mr. B. A. Bell, an
uncle by marriage.
Miss Louise Baskin, who has been
in the Roper Hospital, Charleston,
for over two years preparing for a
trained nurse, graduated nearly
a year aero, and has remained there
till a few days ago when she came
home for a few weeks stay, and will .
ther. decide upon a home.
From some cause last year, those ,
who made a crop of sweet potato??, .
failed in keeping them through the
winter and had none to bed out from
which to raise slips, sent to Florida
and oredered their supply and huve
already received about 30,000 of them
and have been fortunate in
having good seasons for that pur- ^

This being the season for flies, it ^
oenooves the careful housekeeper to ^
keep the home as free as possible
from the dirty, disease bearing creatures.
Even if the house is properly
screened, many flies will gain an j
entrance; this in a very great meas- j
ure can be prevented by placing near <
the screen door on the back porch, ^
one of the fly traps recommended by j
the S. C. Experiment Station, and
described in Circular No. 23. This
circular will be sent free to those *
who want it. Anyone who can han- *
7
die a hammer and saw can make the *
trap, and the principal expense will ?
be for a few tacks, nails and screen *
wire netting. The writer lately
made one of these traps and placed it 1
on the back porch; the flies instead ^
f congregating on, or near the i
creen door waiting for a chance to
nter the house, fly directly to the 1
rap as they come to the house, being
attracted by the odor of the bait,
[which is sour milk) and are caught.
U the present writing, the house
vas never so free from flies in warm
veather as it now is. One wishing
;o try this scheme, should write to
;he S. C. Agricultural College, Clemson,
S. C., and ask for Circular No.
23, On Controlling Flies.
On the 27th, George Gilliam went
to Memphis, Tenn., where he will be
employed in bridge construction
work.
On the 27th, J. D. Daniel and family
moved to Airville, Ga.
Miss Norwood Baker is visiting
her cousin, John Lomax, of Ander
son.
On the 26th, Dr. Kirkpatrick, of
Lowndesville, was here, being called
to consult with Dr. Tate in the case
of W. J. Tucker, who is very seriously
ill.
On the 25th, John Gilliam was taken
to the Anderson Hospital.
During the storm on the 23rd,
lightning struck one of the tenant
houses on S. J. Wakefield's farm and
killed a colored man named John

IMPORTANT CHANGES [
AT STATE HOSPITAL
Dr. C. Fred Williams, superintendent
of the State Hospital for the In- C
sane, has announced important
changes to be made in the method of
operation of the asylum and in the A
personnel of the employes. The previous
defects in the hospital has
been attributable to the lack of centralization
in the management. The
last general assembly remedied this C
and vested the power in the superintendent
responsible to the board c;
of regents for the administration of s<
the institution. Also an appropriation n
of $600,000, to be raised by a one- A
mill levy, was made for the remodel- il
ing of the present building and the c
erection of auxiliary plants. v
Architects are now working on a
plans for remodeling the building of t:
the State Hospital for the Insane. o
One of the initial auxiliary build- v
ings to be erected will be a model I
dairy. Other new structures will in- tl
elude a central kitchen, cold storage c
and ice plant and a central heating
plant. tl
A new medical staff will be ap- b
pointed, headed by Dr. W. C. Sandy, c
an alienist with 10 years' experience 1
in institutional work. He comes to n
Columbia from the State Hospital for 11
the Insane at Kings Park, N. Y. He
will be medical director of the South f'
Carolina Hospital for the Insane and
will take the position in about a week S
Other members of the medical staff "
will 'be a senior physician, a woman
physician, a pathologist, two junior ^
physicians and three interns. The in- n
terns will be selected from the grad
uating class of the State Medical col- u
lege, at Charleston.
After the medical staff is chosen ^
each patient will be given a complete
mental and physical examination ?
and they will be classified for treat- ^
ment according to their disease types. n
To insure diversional occupation,
big workshop will be erected at the n
State Hospital for the Insane, where
patients can follow the various crafts ("'
Carrying out this diversional policy s<
Dr. Williams has dismissed all but 10 11
laundresses at the hospital, and sub- ^
stituted patients to do the work the
33 discharged laundresses did.? =

I
Charlotte Observer.
The sentiment of the Latin-Amerian
experts now in Washington 1
eems to be summed up in the state- (
lent by one of them that "South j
imerican merchants look to the Un:ed
States as the logical source for
btaining many products, and it !
,'ould seem to be only a question of
rranging the proper banking faciliies
and transportation lines to bring
ur people to your markets. We
/ould rather do business with the
Jnited States than with Europe, if
he same facilities for doing business
an be provided."
As The Observer has said, two of
he most important subjects that will
e under discussion is the dollar exhange
and the merchant marine,
'he significance of the former is the
?ore easily understood from a statelent
given out to the effect that
practically all the South American
elegates are unanimous in wanting
o discuss with bankers of the United
[fafoc fVio nrorfVnlifv n-f o VilicV?_ 1
ig a 'dollar exchange' so they can :
ransact their business withthis counry
easily in dollars and cents, and
ot have to make the reduction to j
ollars from pounds sterling or some <
ther foreign exchange." ' J
The sessions of the conference in 1
Washington will last a week and at
tie end of that time the visiting deleates
will be sent out on special
rains for a tour of the financial and
ldustrial centers of the United Sta- ^
?s. It is important that they be ]
lade acquainted with the possibles
for trade development in the atton
mill centers, and for that rea*n
it is to be hoped one of the tour- (
lg delegations will be apportioned

A late isue of the Anderson Inlligencer
printed two prize essays

: Anderson High School. They were
)th well written and contained
uch interesting reading. One of
ie essays, however, contained some
rors of fact to which the author
ould doubtless be very glad to have
;r attention called.
First. Jno. C Calhoun and Lang>n
Cheves were both Abbeville men
id not Anderson men. Calhoun did
ive a summer home at Clemson p
it not at Pendleton. I
Second. The Grange had its ori- IV
n in 1872 in Washington city. E
Third. Governor Joe Brown was
