BUBAL SCHOOL SUPERVISOR, The Intelligencer regrets tho action of the Irusteo* , t the county In adopt ing u r?solution to abolisli thc office of rural county supervisor, a position which is hoing held BO acceptably by Miss Maggie Carlington. Thia action was taken at a meet ing of which less than half of thc trustees of tho county were present and only a small number of those present voted, so it doca not meat) that there Is any well defined opposi tion to the rt' M? ion of this Impor tant other. Wc trust, at least, that tho county board of education will require a more general vote on thli matter before accepting thc vote yes terday as final. Anderson County is n large county and has a very large enrollment ol pupils. Thc work to be done ii too great for one person, aud Supt. Kel ton statcb that it is essential that 'hi hav}o assistance iu looking after thc schools of thc county. We understand that tho county hoard of education .4109 a county I board fund of $3,000, und that about $750 of the Halary and oxpeness of thc rural tchoo] supervisor has been paid out of this fund. Tho Peabody fund which baa heretofore been avallalle has contributed $250 and lt seems that tho failure ot this fund induced tile vote yesterday.. So for $250 thc trustees would deprive Anderson County of one of the principal edu rational officers. Surely there is something other than this to have caused tho vote. We aro Informed that there are 67 school districts Jn the county, and about 85 schools, with an enrollment or over 8,000 pupllB. Th0 portion ol $250 lo bo paid by each school, ot pupil if you please, ls . too nil to po rm lt this. Tho Intelligencer does not bclttrv* the trustees ot the county will allow tltis voce to stand, and we confidently cvpoct the noxt meeting-to reverse tj-.e action ot yesterday's meeting. ?.1 . ' ,".? MOSQUITO CAUSE OF MALARIA. Among tho many publient hua is sued from time- to Hmo by the govern ment, none of rccont date ls of more Interest to the people of the South than a little volume prepared by Dr. f'hns. F. Craig, of Ute Medical Corps r. S. A.. on tho cause and prevention of malaria. His little volume ls en titled "Bulletin No. 6. War Depart ment, Surgeon General's Office," and may bo purchased for about twenty reht3 from th? Public Printer, Wash ington, L. C. This bc.k 1? t?-.y if : >a< authoritative titl eranct on the sui >.< t o? ina lu rh ruai I* r.ught to be in Hie hands ol : c /ory- physician in tho States where ibo disease ia prevalent. It ls shown Ly the ,nuthor that roan can contract tho disease in no other way thar through infection from the bite ot the mosquito. The old theory that malaria can bo contractai from "Lad air," swampy atmosphere, stagnant water v> decaying vegetation, etc., has been disproved over and over again'beyond the shadow of a doubt. The mosquito alone can cante malaria in human being*, and there are. furthermore two interesting facts In this connec tion, namely, there ls only on? kind of a mospulto that enjoys the power of carrying the gemir, of malaria and there ?i only one source of supply of thone gunns available to this mn? quito-a human being: BO that thr peat. In order to acquire tho germ It self mq,st bite a person suffering with the disease and then ??te; about twr weeks he ls read? to naas the malaria on ir, another unfortunate victim. The . . 'julio therefore hrtVmea the Inter mediary without which lt IK Ropos* Bibil) tq lune malaria. Witli thc os lablUhmeiil or these important fact* il I? believed by (ho medical unicorn of the United States army that, ir out people ar,, wise enough to take prop er precautionary measures lor dc straying the mosquitoes or avoiding these bites, malaria will become a rare disease. UlVK THU "hlDS" A CHA M K. U|? le t few year? ugo, it never oc curred to older people that young American . needs a place to play lu lt is commonly supposed that a live boy A'ould find plenty of amusement ia selling newspapers, running er rands, or hoeing the back yard gap il< ii. If Ito must have lils game of bull ance In a while, there was the street i.r Home one's vacant lot. Aa matte:- of fact it often happens, even ia the country town, that there ls no nhue where a set of boys COUld play a game nf bull without be ing ordered to quit. Most American towns were laid out will? Dn provision for the children. There wai ample foresight foi any thing In which money could be made Rating de and factorlea never lacked oppurtunitics. I.-md was uften given to attract them. Dut the casca where land was given where young people could play their gumcB freely, and work off super i lons und threatening energy, were rarely seen. In thc larger citlei the modern playground, with u tangle of yelling liidlctn, is n sight to do a wholesome hearted per.ion good. The boy who is chasing u bsacbali ls not robbing fruit nor loafing on tho street cor ner-. A playground entertaining a lurg? crowd of children does not fully serve its mission unless carefully supervis ed by some corni tent person. The average boy gets altogether too much fun from tormenting Homebody under his size. Also the average crowd of 12-year-old;* is very far from ready for self-government. Hut even if ii neighborhood or a village can mcroly open up a vacant lot and turn the youngster] looso the results arc worth while. Anderson can well afford to consid er proposition o? opening up u public playground. Cannot thc Civic Luuguc do this? WHAT 18 THE HITTER! What ls tho matter with tho Pied mont suction of South Carolina in ref erence to the Y. M. C. A. work? An derson has had to discontinue her Y. M. C.

There must ito uorao uutlerlylr.g cause to prevent the support cf this worthy cause, and it .mist bo affecting these cities pret ty generally. We fear that there ls too much of that spirit which wishes to leave these public mattera to a few men, rather than to he shouldered by the entire people. That gathering of men at the St. John's Methodist church Sunday ! morning could sup port a Y. M. C.

Much Interest has been manifested all over th0 world in the Wlllard Johnson fight which yesterday re..lilt ed In tho tra-isfer of thc world's championship again to the white man.

It ls of no consequence. Thc race which will gove? : and remain on top has to be the race with tho great est umount ' t gray matter, and so far toe white or Caucasian race has had no troublo In maintaining their supremacy.

It ls a rule that a workman must follow his employer's orders, as a writer In tho "Living? Age" says, but no ono has a right to make him do discreditable w#*rk. Judge M., a well known Jurist, living near Cincinnati, loved to tell thc anecdote of a young man who understood the risk of do ing a shabby job. even when directed to." He had occasion to send for a carpenter, and a sturdy fellow appear ed. "I want, a fence mended. Thcro are some unplaned boc rds-uso them. You need not take time to make a neat job. I will pay you a dollar and a half." Later the judge found the man care fully planing each board. Supposing that he was trying to mako a costly job, he ordered him to nail them on just as they were, and continued his walk. When ho returned the boards were all planed and numbered, ready for nailing. "I told you this fence was to bc covered with vines," he said, sharp ly; "I do not care how it looks." .'I do," said the carpenter, gruffly carefully measuring his work. When It was done, there was no other part of thc fence as thorough in finish as this. .'How much do you charge?" ask ed the judge. "A der lar and a half," said tho man, shouldering his tools. Tho Judge stared. "Why did you spend all that labor on that fence, lt not for money?" ''For the Job, sir." "Nobody would have seen the poor work on lt." "But I should have known it was there. No; I'll only take a dollar and a half." He took it and went away. Ten years afterwards, tho judge had a contract to give for the erection of several magnificent public buildings. Thero wcro many applicants among the master builders, hut the face of one of thom caught tho eye. "It was my man of the fence," he -*aJUI?^|?knew we should have only I ' nuTnTT*Tiitii>l tmmi him. I gavo hun the contract, and lt nu of him."

GASSAWAY HAS SOME OF THE FINEST EVER RAISED PROFIT IN IT Believes That the Product Can Be Raised to Adantage in An derson County. Prof. M. If. Gassaway, principal of tile colored school H of the city, was exhibiting yesterday specimens of broom com grown from refuse seed cast upon a lot of lils which are said by a well known business man fami liar with the subject to be thc finest samples of this product lie had ever seen. Prof. Gassaway was exhiittng the broom corn in support of an idea lie has that the product can he grown to perfection and with profit in An derson county. . The corn which he was showing has I the longest and the finest fibers of I any that tile business man referred I to had ever seen, and he used to be I in the broom making business, too. I The seed from which this broom corn I were grown was immature seed which I Prof. Gassaway threw upon a iot ut I his. As generally known, brooms are manufactured by a class in one of the schools of which this teacher has charge. Prof. Gassaway was exhibit ing at tlie same time some specimens of tlie broom corn he imports for use in hi? broom factory, and the home grown product was immeasurably better than the imported kind. Ile stated that the imported broom corn costs him about $135 per lon laid down at thc school building. Corn I like thut he raised, he stated, w.iuldl cost him at least $175 per ton. lie stated that he believes a ton of I broom corn can be grown on three I acres of Andersoon county land, this I estimate being extremely conserva- I live.

"Tho Valley of the Moon," firnous ? Jack London play, will be on the screen of the Paramount theatre .to-1 ! day. The picture consists of six' splendid reels, and is released exclu sively through the paramount pro gram. Y : synopsis of the story is as fol lows: "Our race baa been on tho tramp since the begining ot creation, Just! like we are, looking for * piece of land to settle down on." And with this Billy Roberts and Saxon, his wife, leave the life of the city and start out for the farm of their dreams, whioh must be so ideal that they ought io look for it, they arc told, in a valley of the moon. But it is only after stirring ex-. perlences that, they take this decisive utep. At the opening of Ule play Billy is Sccesslvely a pugilist and a' teamster, d Saxon works' In a laundry. They meet at a Wcazel park picnic, the af ternoon of the livoly "rough-houBe" between San Francisco and Oakland, J They find each ia of the race ot stur dy pioneers, which crossed the. plains on foot and founded the new empt'S ! of the west. "We're just ,like o<d friends, with the same kind of folks behind us," says Billy. We see their simple weding, and the happiness-of tho new Ufe. Then comes the Tteulster's strike, with its consequent poverty and unhappiness and the embittering of Billy's epirit. A remarkable succession cf scenes aho'.rs thc rioting that ensues when. strike-breakers are imported. A thousand men were used in this ?nrt of the play. The swift crcsceu?o .oil action does not pause from the ucvj ment, the strikebreakers leave .*hei Vain until the riot culminate* in front ! of Saxon's eyes, In the killing of Bert, j \ Billy s chum. Charming glimpses of ?ho country ? throiw* which they tramp are given? i ^n th* "course of which we make Ute acquaintance of that delightful group: of artist who call themselves toe ''Abalone Eaters," at Carmel; end at tend a boxing match afr which Billy earns a much dosi red camping outfit lt* twenty-seven seconds.
