In the ]Xisf, boon under tUf atUiln istration of die mill management. At a mevting the village *4* divided into tUIrteeu' ward*. Nomi nation* were made for au alderman from each ward by the men living In that ward. The election wan made by tho men of the entire mill village on the nomination* of the wards. Thir teen aldermen were elected. The hon or of being first mayor wan given to II. K. Hallott, superintendent. A re corder was chosen to keep the record# of tbe aldermen, and the choice fell upon A. Stanley Llewellyn, employment manager and bead of personnel work. Lat**V the new minister, Rer. Mr. Fur cron, was elected by tho board of alder men as a member ex-officlo because of hla Interest in tbe community, and because fit their befit jitet; be was one of the "fellow**." The board pf a Mermen ha^ taken the government of the Waferoe Village in hand. It ban settled disputes 1m> tween families and Individuals; it has regulated the grazing of eOws, the def predutlons of hens a 11 d pi gk, aiid has given 'new Impulse" to the movement well under way to make Wa teroe Vil lage the cleanest and best village in tho country. ~ ? Tbe work the aldermen are doing in not merely settling troubles as they arise, but Is creative and Instructive, with many fine ideas Advanced, dis cussed and then put into force. Due to their knowledge of conditions and standards of living, it is fast becom ing ini|>oKsli>lo for undesirables families to remain In the community.

Tne bops in the village find many golf ball*, and with >*tx>nd hand golf sticks or Improvised oiw*s t ?a 1 1 h Moro sent fl>ing about the village in true bo>Uh fasJHeu. Hut as the boy a suffered the same luae<-u that I do when 1 strike a golf ball, an occa?feK>m*t Hviirtlon i was broken and other damage done. T&e board of al dermen consideired this, atid without making auy rule, requested fh rough tbe ?recorder ? that the boy?* consider and decide, themselves, if they did nofc feel it was better for the village that this tie abolished. The request was present ?il to the boy* at their next gathering on the playing field. They took two days to consider It. When they report ?*d biiek they had voted to abolish the golf sticks and hatls and to destroy .them, and apparently they had been destroyed before they reported their de cision. Such an influence a* that, yielding to public opinion, and the be ginning of self-govern nleut on the part of the boys. Is a great promise for dtl- 1 zenship. The county laws regarding automo bile traffic are somewhat lax In South Carolina, and once a smal child from our kindergarten was killed on the coun try road which Intersects the village. The board of aldermen have undertaken Torcdncc rq>eedl?g, and it is interesting ! now to see the uutomobllists, both men j and women, fjlow down and crawl when i jmslrig through the "precincts of Wa- ? ietfe; v ( 1 considered one of the outstanding j pleasures of my trip in the South the j opportunity to attend the first banquet, liekl at the Park View HOte^ by hoard of aldermen, at which Mr. Paine, manager of the Wateree and Addison ^till*, and I, were the guests.
