During the past eleven .years Hoiuuvillc* village has arisen, and to- i 1 it shelters a community of about i’.oiMi. it covers an urea of more than r>uu acres, nearly the whole of which a free Rift by Mr. George Cadbury. The village, which stand* amid gar dens and park lands, comprises dwell ings which are not beyond the re- sources of the artisan, .and also a fair proportion of the houses of the villa type. No two houses are alike. The average garden space allowed to each house is OdO square yards; and that most of the occupants take a pride in : iioir gardens is abundantly evident. The roads are forty-two feet wide, and are planted with rees. The houses are set back at least twenty feet from the roads. About 1,200 out of 4,000 employes In Messrs. Cadbury factory reside in Bonrnville Of the remaining residents, about forty ner cent, work in Birmingham. Mr. Geo Cadbury explained that out of these 1.000 work people only seven had died for the last four years, a death rate of less than two per 1,000. Six or seven hundred had learned to swim In a large bath provided for them at the works. Practically all the hoys and men could swim. No cottage is allowed to occupy more than one-fotirtn or one-fifth of the area of land on which it stands. Mr. Cadbury urged that if we were to maintain our position as an impe rial race the problem of overcrowding in unsanitary surroundings in gur -'real cities must be faced. At Rottrn- ville village the death rate was 7.5 wherbas the death rate in the work ing class quarters of Birmingham show, cl a rate three times as high. One of the principles which had been put into practice at Bournville was that every child should be within five minutes walk of a playground. He hoped England would soon adopt the German scheme of not allowing any district t<j be developed for building without the whole of the plans being first submitted to a central authority. Field for Industries. (Southern Field.) The Southern Railway has parti culars from various points along its lines In eight Southern States con cerning opportunities for various in- du-tries Early crops this year made a fine showing, and late crops '-omise equally well, all of which m ans a con tinuance of business.

A short while ago State Senator Johnson, of Aiken, a strong support er of the Stare dispensary system and a man of considerable force in the Legislature, died. An election was held to fill the vacancy, and G. L. Toole, local option candidate, defeat 'd .) M. Polatty, dispensary candi date. if the count that has been made by close students of the situation is cor rect, then the d -ath of Senator John son also means the death of the State dispensary as an anti-dispen sary man succeeding Mr. Johnson means that the antis have a majority of one in the Senate. The House is anti-dispensary b\ a safe majority. Now with both the House and the S nate made up of majorities against the Great Moral Institution, that in iquitous blot will be removed from South Carolina by an act of the next General Assembly. The result of the Aiken election was not a .surprise. It was confident ly expected tbit that county would send tin anti-dispensary man to the Senate to succeed the late Senator Johnson. Aiken county would have had to reverse herself had she failed to elect a man opposed to the State dispensary, as in the recent primary election the county gave both Ansel itel Lyon, who are opposed to the present liquor system in the State, big majorities over the candidates who stood on the dispensary plat form. We say, it would haw been unusual, with a good man offering, for Aiken county to have voted against the local optiqn candidate after she had ia Dss than sixty days voted by a big majority a preference for the democratic wav of dealing with the liquor question—That Is, leaving it for each countv to say whether it shall have the county dis pensary or prohibition. Aiken county, by her recent vote, has hastened the d'ath of the cor rupting. politics prostituting whiskey machine. Demoralizinq. (Chicago News.) The old man on the postofflee steps was chewing his straw and frowning in nigh dudgeon. “You sewn in a bad humor, uncle?” ! ventured the starchdrumraer. "Yaas, and, by heck, I ought to be,” growled Hie old man. “This here j town is going to the bow-wows.” “What is the cause of that?” "Why. Bill Binks, our congress man. We sent him to congress to make th. town better and it was bet ter while be was away. But as soon as he canie home with all the things ’i<- learned in Washington the sewing socials turned to bridge whist parties, the checker d ibs turned lo poker clubs, and be eosh, the spruce beer drinkers turned to cocktail drinkers. He's put the to’Vn to the bad and the next time he goes away we are going to pay him extra to spend his loafling months away from Bacon Ridge ” Hard on the Faculty. (London Tribune.) In the rural districts in Ireland the people place Implicit faith in a doc tor’s prescription. In a village in country Limerick a sorrowful young man 'xeiH along to the local under taker’s to order a coffin for his father. "Dear me.” said the undertaker “I didn’t know poor old Bat wag dead.” ‘‘No. he’s not dead yet,” replied the mourning relative, “but he’ll din to night, for the doctor says he can’t live till morning, and he knows what he gave him.” A somewhat similar story is told of the actual death of a patent. A peas ant lad. asked by a gentleman how his father wis, replied, “Ah. niv poor father died last Wednesday, your hon or.” “I ni verv sorry to hear it.” said the gentleman. “It must have been very sudden. What doctor attended him?” “Ah, sir” said the boy “my fatk r wouldn’t have a doctor. He al ways used to say he’d like to die a natural death ” The South is large and has awon- derfui variety of resources and the home seeker can find something to his liking regardless of what It may be, either In an Industrial wav. or In any phase of farm Ufa There is such div rsity of climate, soil and products, and some of them are so profitable that factory workers in manv of our Southern towns and cities have gone into the country, to give their sole time to special lines of farming, while others have made homes near the factory and divide their time be tween the home place and the shoo.

Devoe is like that among paints; a short ton is as good as a long one of anv paint you ran name; a gallon Is worth more than two of manv a popu lar paint. Suppose you have painted your house about once in three years ever since it was new; you buy the same number of gallons Devoe. have a third of it left, and it wears six years. Count your costs. % $1.75 a gallon for paint; $3.50 a gal lon for putting It on; you saved 5 gallons; $0.25 on this Job But you save the whole Job of three years hence: about $75. Put ’em together: $100. C’an’t reckon so accurately as that; but you see how It goes. Paint isn’t alike any more than coal. How much more Is coal worth than 'A slate?
