' don "The prosperity of a town is not t^0 guided Dy tne uealtii of its inhaoi-;g00 tants, but by tne uniformity witn! tjie which they pull together when Wjanc important undertaking is to he ac-! rac complisned. A man witu a thousand | ^ dollars at his command and a love for j ap^ his town in his heart can do more tor' (jav the upbuilding of it than the million- j a 'r aire who Iocks up his capital and. ^]1( snaps nis hugers at home progress.' i j;or We clipped the above from some: \ paper, we thing the Gaffney Ledger.1 t0 and it is so true that we desire to pas#1 VjS it on to the people of this cqur.num- j 0f ty for their consideration. j |lel Cooperation is the watchword of j jv .success for any community, if there j pOI is one thing we lack in this commun:-! we iv mnrfl rhi n QTiAthov it io tha I O.UWI.UW j JUS of cooperation for the general wei-| jt fare. j ter Pulling together makes the load] cei easy and light. Pulling in opposite j to directions makes eveD a small load j t0 heavy to drag and it is a drag all jjf( the time. am tec Talking about cattle raising and j an< diversified farming we cannot help, suj quoting an editorial from The Her- an ail and News of nearly ten years ago. We have said several times re cently that we were pleased to see that the people were beginning to do j yS what we begged them and advised jfs them to do years ago. In its issue of May 8, 1808, The Her q1#I or?/1 \Tntx?o ooi/^ it ke< we vis to ?iU axxvi n o ouiu uuaivi miij , . flO' "We call the attention of our farm- er^ ers to the article in this issue on the; cu subject of stock raising in Soutn j u8 Carolina by W. W. Price and ask j aU) that they look at the figures given by! gu the government. Just think of a lit-j^e* tie State like South Carolina sending j ?ut every year $3,000,900 for horses | and mules and trying to raise cotton ; for less, than cost to pay for them. 1 an We oould raise a great many of these j 001 horses and mules right here and <xt greater profit than we grow cotton. X But that is not all. Not only do send this large sum out of the State for horses and mules but we also send i u6 iec pai tin: nut "Off for the corn and hay to feed them. j ^ This we should and can grow ri'"h!i j here. Not only ovill it be well for j car South Carolina to reduce the acre-ina^ age in cotton in order to secure bet-; ter prices but we should do it for the ^ purpose of giving more attention to paj: stock raising and the growing of corn ^ui and hay with which to feed the stock. anc "Another matter that should have the! attention of our farmers is the rais- j ing of cattle. It is a very difficult ^ matter to secure native beef and most! s of that that is sold or our markets | Pla - is western beef. 'We believe it would | P?r liav tn raise* mnrp hppf a Thpsp tUV are matters our farmers should con-| or aider/' us . i iy. | unt Bpps Brown has no friend anywhere j who rejoices more at his success than i we do. We are glad to see his pic-1 ' ture on the front page of the South- jtlie ern Telephone News and gladder still' ^ie to know that his health has greatly iL)se improved. ! ^or His has* been a remarkable career,'r 11 e: tut then ne had the ability and the] South Carolina pluck which means! ^ success. i ] tior In an article which we road some- j tirsi where the other day on the peace ne-, 000. gotiatio'hs we found these paragraphs; | woe "The truth is that a fateful hour in j div: human history has arrived, demand: ban ing the utterance of a compelling' Wh. word from inspired lips, in otfter j the crises great men have been raised up j like to meet the exigent demands oi' thuI of . tour. v j can "Will this historic hour pass with- j out being seized upon by some mor-l tal whom history awaits to crown! . ^ with imperishable laurels? j trie: "This mortal to whom the finger;the points is the man who happens. at!10 ^ this moment to be the president of; V.^ + T"? bia CUC OiaiCd. IV ULiJLLl UULU groups of belligerents could make re paratory their resolutions, intentions and ambitions." That is just about what we said i a year ago, that is the portion which j mS e&ys that Wilson is a man of destiny, j emb and to him would come the honor ana: ?ve the privilege of bringing peace to the j fee world, and we believe that this is to J be ^hat he will be able to do. And when it is done he will have a great part in the making of a new world. T ail1 so to speak. ) ^ He is a man of destiny and h? li p^c working in a way that will bring re- depi on 1 fn ' * | pres ! and i towi I pose A community nurse is no doubt a . g p good thing. But it seems to us tha:j ^ , a suggestion made by Mayor Wright; the other day in private conversation ; 0 would be the proper to handle; t f the charity operations of a communi- t ty like this. Instead of having a doz-1 ^an( en or more organizations all doing | ^ ' more or less of charity work in the j anY community to have a central com-1 t,per mittee or board of charities that1 ... .... _ . . . 1 v\ lin would takp sufficient interest in the! e work and through which organization ' ?ueg all the charity of the community \ ? ^ might be dispensed. Let these other I * organizations exist if they desire, but' ' ^ whatever charity fund they desired to j board and the money and help be given by them. If part of their work would be the employment of a nurse, well and good, but all cases that were deserving could be reported to the board and all applications for.-help be .made^to,, them, and whatever any one or mare individuals desired to give to le^^g^throug^thi^board^^f^n re could be some system in the k and some gaod could be accom hed, but where the work is done a dozen or more organizations It eads tue butter so thin that na really knows that hi* bread tered. t' every one would just comriuiuc :iue buuiciuiug luiuugu uutu a rd a good sum could be secured something worth while could bi e. And as we say, it' is was ught that one of tae ways to dc 'd was with a community ?'urse n the board could employ the nurst 1 have one each for the tw( es that are in our midst. laybe this committee which wa: ;ointed at the meeting on Wednets afternoon may develop into suci )lan. If it should, well and goo-.t i meeting then will have be.-n hei: some purpose. t may be well and good in this da: have all this inspection and super ion but somehow we never heart it until in recent years. Mayb< etofore we have been very great neglecting oar duty and our op tuniij? but people in the other day re just about as healthy and live< l about as long as tbey live now maybe that they were made of bet stuff and that if we "had had offl *s in those days to tell us hot live and how- to c\re all the ills an< keep awa/ all the germs the allote i of man would have been six scor i ten rather than three score an t.

COMUMTY MEETING FOB A COJWl'MTY M'RSt About two dozen good and earnest; women, an<l about a half dozen men,' met in the court house Wednesday j afternoon in response to a call fo: . a community meeting to consider the! question of continuing a community j nurse-for this community. Dr. Crom-j j er SKVij III;"' peuyit: uu noi i cau mc ' j papers and, therefore, 110 one knew! ) I that the meeting wa-s 'to be held, and Mi'or thai reason there were so fe\* ;] present. If that be true, then wh^ )ja newspaper. But we are inclined; j to think that the doctor is mistaken, ' or W" miunderstoood him. The trou " ble is the people real, and the people J j forget, except those things they want! . I f/? l'ftmuniliar vin.fi f!in?.i tlTfti the things that they think will beneiU, them directly and immediately. Anyhow these two and half dozen' j met and they talked and then they! appointed a committee to have the: whole tiling in charge. Now, the; trouble may be that this committee' may forget that it was appointed and forgot to act. We hope not. Mrs. J. N. MeCaughrin as president of the Bachelor Maius presided at the meeting, and she a gave a plain statement of the work during the #ast eighteen months. But the wo men were tired carrying the load, and it is not right that a few faith ful women should carry it. More of ^.^ti t-Vii-miH Jiavo hp. n nresent a! IliC Daw u ?. ? V ^ ? c - ? this meeting, and they should take more interest in it. They should remember that this is an age whrn everything is to be regulated, and all the germs are to be killed, and the f children are to be inspected for de ^ fects and made to grow up right and ^ I proper, and the are' to be taken j care of, even if it is against the law ^ j for a poor man without a coat to ask some one to give him a coat, and if he do-^s so ask he is to occupy cell No. 1 and rides there in an automo S bile. That is the law and the law P must be enforced IvVle are moving forward, and we are taking care of - the people who will not or cannot take care of themselves. But to the meeting. Mayor Wright L was called on ""and he spoke of the : j importance of a community nurse, tint I j he said he did not know what to of . I for, because he was not in posaessio/i j of facts in regard to the operations ! during the past year, or what the ex i petience of the ladies had been in the i experiment which had been made. Then Mrs. McCaugbrin related the ! details of the work. A letter was rea.l | from Mr. Summer of the Moilohon i mill in which it was stated the good | work that the nurse did in his mill village and he hoped that the worlt might be continued. j Mr. J. M. Kinard spoke of the good ! of such work and said that he was j willing to cooperate and he felt that J the city board of health would do what it could to help the work. Dr. J. P. Kinard thought maybe there j might be somp way to have the nurse ' ;n some manner a representative of the board of health. He said if the -school were in position it would be glad to have a department which could employ such a person. Mr. 'McSwain said that the school board had no funds, but that he would glad ly. take back to the school board any suggestion that might be made. Dr. Cromer then made a most ex cellent talk on what the State and the Christian people of this Christian State were not doing to take care of + A irtiln n a 1 m Q | Tna UH10HUliai.es 1U uic jam aiiu aiuij houses and reformatories. And be told some very healthy truths which it would be well if more people could have heard. Then there was talk of spread of disease by the washerwomen, and the need of an inspector along that line. The outcome of the meeting was the { appointment of a committee of five I to take the whole matter in charge j and do what to them may seem best j to be done. That committee is: John I M. Kinard, chairman; Geo. M. Sum mer, Mrs. L. W. Floyd, Miss Carolyn-.' Cromer, Mrs. J. N\ >fcCaughrin. They I are to devise ways ana means ana i ! have charge of th? whole business.' | and a big job they have. i' We have named all the men prea | ent except Editor Wallace and the writer and we did not make any speeches. All the rest of them did ) j That is, Mr. 'Wallace had not spoken | j when we left, as we had to leave J before the meeting closed. A nurse Is a good thing and there j should be two, as Dr. Cromer said, j one for the white people and one for the colored people.
