It is far better than the training In a gymnasium—and every one must admit the superior value of gymnastics. For “It is only in the struggle with men that gym nastics reaches its highest point, for in this, man offers himself as a liv ing antagonist to man and threatens him with danger." It is in the field (hat the first Ma sons in the industrial warfare are receipt of the following letter: Washington, July 7, 1908. The Postmaster, Gaffney, S, C. tsir:—The department has this day opportunity. Who|’alhd the attention of road officials to had condition of roads on routes Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, as indi cated in your report on form N—755. You will also take up the matter with the road officials and patrons interested, and inform them that un- lesr all roads covered by rural de livery from your office are properly repaired during the present summer season and placed in such condition that uninterrupted service can be ren- t dered throughout the year, the with-1 f drawal of rural delivery from neglect ed roads will very likely follow. Failure to comply with th ! require ment should be reported under Sec tion 89, “Instructions,” in ample time coal is now stored, the out houses, etc., can be cleared off, and the city park can be enlarged, and front on | both Limestone and Smith streets, i this will be an ideal place for the postoffice, near the schools, between tbe business portion of the town, and a large portion of the residence.

NOTES AND COMMENTS- against mind each boy must some day find himself, and be will need all the training possible to gain success, j He will need independence of thought —attention, re-enforced by regularity, punctuality, and system—these con stitute industry. Independence will be gained by victory in the field. The victors, flushed with pride, forget their timi dity in the congratulations of friends. They have overcome by their own ex cellence and realize their power. Tbev become independent, self re liant and giants physically, mentally and morally. We are told to “Be temperate in all things.” Tbe boy soon learns that intemperance unfits him for the game. He learns a lesson that lec turing cannot give him. He wliriook upon his body as a thing to be cared for and it becomes sacred to him. He is a moral man before he knows it and is the pride of his home and friends. The base ball team is a little gov- Now isn’t it about time that we awake to a realizat ion of the fact that, we are wasting money in the present method of road working? Isn't it time to take steps toward the con struction of permanent highways?
