Hermitage Mill News. Camden, S. C., July 24. ? "Baby Day" in the village, last Friday, was a most successful day in spite of the bad weath er. The examinations in* the morning were held by Dr?. Dunn Hud Brasing ton, assisted by Mrs. Dunn. They went about work In a hurry and got through with fourteen babies by twelve o'clock. In the afternoon we bad Dm. Corbett. Zemp and Stevenson, who made the ex amination of sixteen babiei?<%by four o'clock. The doctors u 1 1 said that the babies a* n majority were well nourish ed and fared for and all passed a very good examination. In the evening. beginning ? at t right thirty, our session wa* opened with a patriotic drill and songs by twelve girls. After this, Miss Christine South, State Demonstrator, gave an interesting and instructive talk, in her most charming manner, on foods for children between e the ages of one and six years. She il lustrated by a demonstration of several food*. Miss Selma Parish, County Home Demonstrator, assisted her in these dem onstrations. MIsr South was listened to attentively by a good number of our mothers and fathers and we are sure her talk will be remembered long and bear much fruit. The rest of the pro gramme was given over to Mr.- Pitts, who read the names of the babies scor ing highest in cach age ami division and awarded the blue ribbons.

Just as good, aud, after a certain i???i n t . a great deal better, would be the cry : Legislators, educate the state. Legisla tors and people alike, sweep into the Atlantic cjeean the fifty yeara out-of-date stupidity parading still in this last cor ner of America and aave the child from the hide-bound daddy who denies him his chance and blocks every move for progress by the commonwealth." The fundamental need of South Caro lina is a universal education law under which every child must attend school for a sufficient period to acquire a fair eduCution. To say that a parent has the right to deprive his, child of the boundless benefits of education is to take a position violative of tbe principles of democracy. The right of the child to an education is paramount to tbe par ent's pleasure ; the right of the staff to insist that its citizenship be enlight ened is above all. Tbe builders of South Carolina ? who aro they? They are not tbe self-seeking politicians, the perpetual office-seekers, the peanut poli- I ticians, tbe obsequious, handshaking pur- j veyors of platitudinous piffle. They are not those in authority in the govern ment, not the men of wealth and learn ing. The builders of South Carolina/ are the teachers and tbe parents desire their children to have all the education they can get. Tbe hope of this Htate lies, not in the politician's closet, not in the public servant's office, hut in the humble home where a noble hiother or an earnest father inspires the child to seek Tor all tbe beat In life, to obtain all the education and en lightenment jKissible, to turn against the^ rotten demagogues and the lying poli ticians mid to stand by holiest intelli gent and patriotic men. ~~ The immediate deficiency of South Carolina' is in wise, courageous aud progressive leadership. Instinctively, a great part of our people look to men" in public lift' as their guides and mentors, yet what do they find? Mostly dema gogues. Mostly men without vision ? and it is said in the Hook of Hooks "without vision the people perish''. Too' many hot air artists, adept bull sljngersl manipulators of the political shell games, too many political parrots forever prat ing about "the people" with never a real idea as to huytliing that would pro mote the welfare of the people, too many smooth phrase jugglers, too many spielers of empty platitudes, too many political acrobats, too many clowns, too many iniddle-of-the mud men. too many fence straddlers." As Wood row Wilson once said. a i>oh tician is oue who socks to servo him self, while >i statesman seeks to serve his fellow men. There is plenty of the timber of st jitesmanship in our state, hul it is not available for use. Few men of the type best fitted to serve the people care to bandy words with plat!* tiide-mongers on the platform, disdain indulging in the miserably petty person alities now so much in vogue. Vainn the words of wisdom , the counsel of construction when the deceitful cries of the punderers to what is lowest in poli tic- till the air. Political jackasses bray until the few voices of truth cminot be heurd. 'Hie buffoon the mountebank and the fool too often have the right I of way. Then too, the men who should be leadej-s in South Carolina are, for' the most part, too modest, too disinclined to assert themselves, too fond of the peace of private life. South Carolina needs some "scholar* in politics", needs leaders who will turn the X-ray of truth on the threadbare lies and prom ises of the demagogue. The forces of intelligence and progress in this state are too inactive, too ineffective, to dis organiaed. too easily discouraged. The light of a fairer day to the Pal metto state will soon dispel the dark new*. With the end of the war will be poured buck into South Carolina thousands of informed, onlighteuod, right minded men who will come to the helm of our government, who will *rve mighty reinforcement to the drive against il literacy, contemptible itolition and still more contemptible politicians. The tot> familiar faces of many of our politicians will be mifaing two years hence. Home of them are now appearing in their laa* acf? and soon for them will fsll ?be i final curtain. The people will demand new men. dtw brain*, new idtu", new leader*.
