GIRLS' CANNING crms We trust tust ita? work to be statlc? in Anderson county by Miss Janye Carlington willnieet with a ready re sponse and that she may have a very large class of girls to begin the study and culture of* the tomuto. As our forefathers thought of it, the tomato was a poisonous fruit and was con sidered dangerous. And now the coun try ls filled with girls learning to I grow and can the fruit, and the world) is a market for the products. We aro sure thut no county in South Carolina tun beat Anderson county in raising tomatoes, and no girls in the Slate can look as pretty as Anderson county j [girlB with their white aprons on and their cheeks rosy and red from tho exercise of cultivating and preparing torua'^s for the table or the mar ket. Another organization which would go well with tho glrlr.' canning clubs would I'! tho hoys' pig clubs which have proven so popular in various parts of he State. Why cannot Ander son county have a large number of [these pig clubs, and some competition be gotten up over the relative merits I of tomato clubs or boys pig clubs. This would be a good subject for al debate in the schools, and we propose j m a subject for come literary or de bating society: "Resolved, That Girls' ICanning Clubs are Worth More to the bounty than IioyaJ Pig Clubs." RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS Speaking of girls' canning clubs und hoys' pig clubs reminds one of the great value these organisations are as a means of ad jins zest to thc social life of Mic rural communities) of the State. Claronco Poe, the editor of The Progressive Farmer, recently \ delivered an able address on "The Ru ral Problem and the Rural Commun ity." in which he sets forth the great need of he rural community for so cial centers and social life. ?* nays that the advent of the rural mall de livery has largely obliterated the community boundaries, 'and that to say ono Uvea on -'Anderson, R. F. D. No. 8" docs not convey any idea of] tho whereabouts of that home. The old postaffice did'give one a home, so tc speak, and a community center. Now the spcial center must be the school, and thin ls Just what lt should be. There all the meetings of Gie commun ity should be held, and from Gils cen ter should radiate all the factors for bundine. ,f w aaeh ?ammaaUr, and aUuaW^aiiBmii^iiiaj A Parrnell should-1 i %hsk* a>eeWBget'Sj?s eem^j munlty fair, should be there, ead . I.: ateajd bd>tlje hbme of. the fWf^H max'clubs, the boys' pig cmos, andi the boya,' corn cjuba.^. u The athletic ?etles should hold meetings Giere. So the people of Anderson county should welcome Miss Carlington with open, ar nie, and assist, ber .In every way possible la organising hi. most help ful and interesting work, the girls* censing clubs. We should also provide, for and welcome tho farm worker who will organizo the boys' pig clubs. An derson county cannot afford to make I better farmers of her girls than of j her boya. I THE PHYSICIAN IN THE COMMUN? ' I TY. One cannot but bo Imprescd with the great force for good the physicians of the city and county can be as they gp about from day to day in the per formance of their work. This greet force ls very noticeable when they are assembled as in their county rn? ?Sl ings.- Professional men of the highest type, their books .being Gio. -human body in all its wonderful mechanisms. Their business ie. tv heep tho body healthy ead able to perform Hg great eat work. First at Gie cradle and last at the grave, being a constant friend and counselor, ls lt any. wonder Gmt one comes to look apon-, a good doctor with a feeling akin to rever ence? The Japanese, we believe lt is, re-1 quire tnelr physicians to keep them I woll. and when Uley get sick, their j pay stops. In America, the physician ! lg summoned when ono'gets sick and he is paid for his services to make | one well. Of the two customs we be lieve the Japanese have the better ideas, and it would be well for Gie people of Gils country to adopt the Japanese custom. Anderson county has some most ] progressive physicians, and they aro j alive to tho wellbeing of tho health ful conditions or tho county. Thia ts evidenced In tho splendid papera read st each meeting of tho county asso clatloifV and by the daUy pracUee ot Gie doctore as they meet their patients. ' The Doctor of Gie Old School" has | : many prototypes in Anderson county, and to i serve others is the motto inoSt | Often used. -1 Tho jr?ar ?S?4 Drought us toe rall-j irog? *jV/? ;but wa Mve. never got and 4 Tug? loo Tribune.

"In answering the call of their country," said the secretary, "nine teen men, sailors and marines, won tbe distinction and glory of death on the Held of battle. America then, mourning her loss, was like Niobi, 'all tears.' " Tho secretary spoke of the honors paid these heroes at the time their bodies were brought to the United States, wben President Wilson him self, In an addrcB? at Brooklyn, voic ed the muon's appreciation ot their valor, sod said: "Today we are gathered to do honor to tho men who marched shoulder to shoulder with the immortal 19 and to give to them proof that this grateful republic knows bow to gladden the hearts of Its living heroeB os well a? to bedeck with flowers the graves of those fallen. This gathering? today, the large pension voted to sailors and soldiers, the recognition in a hundred wayB of men whose courage and achievement have brought glory to our land, attest the truth that, while the dead are held in loving memory, those brave men who survive have the - love - and appreciation of their countrymen and their courage held up to the emulation of patriotic youths." .Secretary Daniels said the medals wer? tokens of a grateful country's appreciation of work nobly done; of duty well performed, or readiness to face grave danger. "You know." ho continued, "that tho signal most prized in the fleet is tho one flying from the flagship tell ing that something has bees well done, and that whllo some particular ono, perhaps, luis won it, yet the honor is for the ship. "Thun it is, young men, that you, by ?your heroic work, your flue disci pline, your loyalty, have earned the signal 'well done' and caused lt to fly over the whole service, bringing a glow to pride and admiration to the heurts of all patriotic Americans, and Incre?slng their faith in their de fenders who go down to the sea in Ships.

Just how long the present commis sioners will have to serve ls uot known, but It ls hardly likely that they will have to hold on longer thun month, as the lcglslatu o doubtless will have passed within that time an act authorizing the governor to com mission county commissioners for An derson County. These who will he commissioned will, of course, be the nomine,, of the lost primary. Supervisor King stated yesterday that he know of nothing other than routine business which would como before thc board ot commissioners at the monthly und thu annual meetings I today. The annual meeting of the hoard of county commissioners will be held to day In the offlco of, Supervisor J. Mack K.'ng. The regular monthly meeting of. tho board will be held at the Berne time. Today Is the date the new county ?brvtrd woild take office had not their names been left off the ticket in the recent gem ral election. A regular meeting ot' the old board, which would have been keld last Tuesday, would have been the last monthly meeting of thc old commissioners. As the meeting scheduled for last Tuesday was not held, the board will hold their monthly meeting today at the same time they hold their annual meeting.
