We hope everybody will be highly pleased with him for their pastor. We noticed in the paper that all the doctors in Pickens have signed a pledge not to go into any tenant's home unless the landlord signs a certificate to assure him of his money. That is not right. The doctor just as well take chances for his pay as ( the lawyer, merchant, farmer 1 or any other profession. You say the landlord will have to sien a certificate for the tenairt. I What are you going to do with t the cotton mill people: are you going to have the president of' the mill to sign for them? And what are you going to do with the people that live in rented houses; are you going to haye the owner to sign for him or let him die? It seems that the doc tors want.the landlord to stand good for other people's debts. The health of this section is very good at present. Should anyone get s'ck and no one will vouch for him ws can give him some boneset tea and sassafras tea, and if that won't bring him out we can fall back on Mr. I doctor. Wonder how the mail carriers are liking the parcel post system? Don't guess they will like it very much when the people gett to sending coops of chickens or a barrel of syrup or something else of this kind-.

Gentry, Principal Keo Graded Sc Our Tenant Class I have been wondering what would be next and the remedy to meet existing conditions. I remember some fifteen or twen ty years back that the word went out that some doctors had met and formed a trust or com bine. They passed a res->lution that when a man failed to pay for services rendered by one doctor that such a person was put on the blacklist. No other was to render services until the debt was paid. As to what effect this had with the people or to what ex tent it was carried out, I cannot say; but from later actions it would indicate it did not bring the relief sought for. Only a few years back the re port went .forth that another meeting had been held and that an agreement was that for ser vices rendered prices would be double what it formerly had been, and it would appear that this has not brought the relief required, and the last report comes forth asking that the landlord give the tenant an or der-a pass, the tenants call it. To some tenants it is humiliat ing, seeming more like slavery time-a pass. But the question to solve is why the doctors wish the land owners responsible for toe ten ants' debt. Does the law that gives the landlord a lien for supplies give him the right to enter doctor bills against the tenant as a lien? If not. -why not all men bear their own risk; the action of ou- doctors with no uncertain sound: but it may be that if he. wuid- stop and think of the way the world is moving, he would not b. so hard. Then, at the same time. if our doctors would give more strict heed to the word of holy writ they might be the means of bringing relief inother ways more_pleasant I want all to read the religious reports and you will learn that not half the money given in the name of foreign missions is paid out to have the gospel preached, but is used to establish hospitals and dispensaries arnd buildings work,ch? ing, and other expenses in dif ferent ways. Now, while our people are so liberal along these lines (I am not), why not bring these things home and help our doctors to relieve conditions with our tenant class, who are reap* ing down our fields. L.et me appeal to all you who give to establish hospitals and dispensaries and sdch like in foreign lands to give it to re lieve conditions at home. We need not be so liberal as to send such great sums of mon ey to other countries and for a name establish all these free dispensaries for (the dagoes of the world to the neglect of home, At your next meeting take a collection to ht Ip the.doc tors to relieve conditions at home, and don't go before the people in the house of God with~ a spirit of deception, call every thing mission to get money'and send it off to be used as mention ed to the neglect at home Mark you this, such barriers will sooner or later have to be broken up if we save the cause most dear to us. Jo Jo. Campaign On Evangelism And Stewardship The Southern Presbyteriar Church has started a great Campaign on Evangelism and Stewardship throughout the whole Assembly.
