"Aspiring is very scarce" says a re
pIort in the Greenville News, speaking
of the effect of the war on drugs. "As

judging by the number of candidates
out for solicitor, sheriff and coroner.
In fact "aspiring" doesn't Seem to be
a drug on the market here in any sense
of the word.

We understand that. several men in
Gray Court have found the business of
buying chickens, eggs and other pro
duce for shipment to other points fair
ly profitable. If such a business is
proflitable in Gray ('ottr it ought to be
profitable here and nlot prove any in

men. One great irawback to the rais

DR. REED SMITH MADE ADDtESS.
'Tralked Before Better Laurens Club
NFriday Night at the School Audi.
torium,
Prof. Reed Smith, of the University
of South Carolina, made au address
before the Better Laurens Club in the
school auditorium Friday evening.
Prof. Smith's address was devoted
largely to an exposition of woman's
sphere In the work of bringing about
better living conditions and developing
higher ideals in the thoughts of the
time. He cited instances to show how
the influence of wioman is becoming
felt more and more in thosb things
which affect the material and moral
life of the nation. hlis address was
given the closest attention and at its
conclusion many present went forward
to express their thanks to him for his
presence and his message. Pro'. Smith's
lecture was one of a number being de
livered by professors of the University
under an Extension campaign.
Before the lecture, Supt. Parkinson
outlined the plans and motives of the
Better Laurens Club and about twenty
pupils of the school gave a little play
in which the dangers of uncleanliness
and carelessness were pointed out and
how these dlangers could be removed.
Special stress was laid on the danger
of allowing trash to accumulate and
lies to breed, by which disease was
permitted to spread from house to
house and from person to person.

PUT llEALT:- I:N FIRST PLACE
Present Generation of Youth in Many
Ways an Improvement Over
Those of the Past.
Our young people in their habits
andl tastes cherIsh andl crave. anid ad
mire health with a dlevotioni unpalr
allehed since the days of the Greeks,
writes Francis Greenwvood Peabody in
the Atlantic lontdhly. The call of the
fields anid of tihe wild, the inoculationi
of carly childhood with the fever of
athletes, and the enormous distinc
tioni obtained lby strength, agility and
pluck-even the unprecedented can
dor of literature anid coniversation
concerning sex, parenthood, eugoenics
and foeminism-all these signs of the
time, though they may involve now
risks, unquestionably free young peo.
pie in large degree from the intro
spection, sentimentalism, morbid con
scientiousness, prudishness and pruri
once, which have afflicted earlier geri
erations. Fearless, selfaconfldence,
even audacity, issue from this health
mness. Nothing is too personal to be
mentioned; nothing too startlIng to
be welcomed; nothing too sacred to
be criticized. The most repelling of
traits is sicklinmess, either of body or
of mind. Strong doctrine, naked truth.
undisguised convictions, are marka
of the cult of healthiness, and the re
sultant type of youth is one which can
not be observed without admiration,
as one watches an athlete stripped
for his game and rejoicing in his
strength.
The Head of the Firm.
As he appears to
The Ofmce Boy-A large fat being
whose grumble is worse than Jove's
thunder and whosie commlendatory nod
is worth almost any amount of per
sonal inconvenience.
Head Dookkeeper-A good man,
with no head for figures, who has ar
rivedl at Ils present exalted position
by a combination of luck and pul11.
The Stenlographer-A pleasanit, old
party with sinagular weaknesses and a
strang9e capacity-rarely exercised,
however--to make one'ecry.
TIl Wife--A bany-.f
Solutipn of Tai Problem, .
In the event that, the State of
South Carolina is forced to go into the
fire insurance business to protect the
property of the taxpayers there will
be not the slightest danger of over
insurance if no policy is written in ex
cess of the valuation at which the
property insured is returned for tax
ation. The adoption of a provision
of this sort would either greatly in
crease the amount on the property on
the tax books or materially reduce the
amount of fire insurance written
in South Carolina.-Vatchnan and
Southron.
