All over the United States small towns are realizing thai they, us well as the preat eities. have social and civic couditions and problems which call for a rally of citizenship and com munity action. I low much can be quickly acomplislmd in a small city is Shown by the work of the Civic club of Cumberland. Allepany county. Md.. which is only a year old. The direct work has been done by the women, but the men have risen to the club's suppestions and are turuinp to it for help in a surprisinp number of cases, says the Survey. The major part of the meat dealers petitioned for the club's cooperation in doinp away witli insanitary conditions of sale from wapons. The city officials were interested to co-operate In reinovinp weeds. The electric railway author! tics have been broupht to see the nee ! , of a new station and lavatory The board of health is condnp to realize the necessity of locatinp the slaughter houses more suitably and controlling' their conditions. A committee of merchants petitioned ! for an arc lipht where disorderly men and women conprepated and for the requirement of screens over fruit, meats, etc.. exposed for sale, j Unfortunate conditions after dark In : a cemetery led to the appointment of a committee to look after the nuisance, composed of members of the church ; controlling the cemetery. The school , authorities have established an evenj lng school this year, and a union of ; forces has brought about a very sue cessfnl beginning of playgrounds. Dur lng the year a committee of men has put the Cumberland charities upon a business basis. The Allegany county schools have : made great progress during the last few years under the leadership of an efficient superintendent, and their ' service as social centers Is being developed. All these social advances are likely to broaden into a comprehensive study of conditions and further prog ress In securing civic institutions aDd i social legislation. | PARIS KNOWS THEIR VALUE. 8mooth, Clean Highways and Beautiful Park* Are Profitable to the City. Paris has accepted unflinchingly the doctrine that smooth and clean high wnva sro a wise investment and that so long as the work is done in a thorough and scientific manner, with an honest and skillful application of means to ends, the result is worth having regardless of cost The expense of maintaining, cleaning and sprinkling the streets is greater than in anj other European city, but the sort of pre-eminence that such a street service helps to secure Is profitable In a hundred Indirect ways. Paris has by far the richest park equipment of any city 1l the world. The area of parks within an afternoon's excursion Is 20,000 acres, while farther away are more extensive public grounds, such as Versailles and Fontalneblean. It Is impossible to estimate the profits which Paris derives annually from its parks, boulevards and public buildings. Bankers have estimated that Americans spend upward of (500,000,000 annually in foreign countries, and It Is safe to say that Paris receives at least one-fifth of this vast sum, the profits from which are as great as are the profits from pork to Chicago, shoes to 8t Louis and beer to Milwaukee. The experience of Paris ought to convince the most skeptical that there is o modern community of civilized men which cannot affovd to provide the most perfect public appointments that technical and scientific knowledge have discovered?well made and clean streets, good water, proper drainage, convenient transit facilities, complete schools and thorough sanitary organlRations. No city should think itself rich enough to prosj>er without tberu. and no city is so poor that it cannot afford tbem.?Ilarvey N. Sheppard in Outlook. For a 8potl?sa Town. The Kansas City chief of police has Issued a rather drastic order, as follows, says the Twentieth Century Magazine: "Arrest on view any person throwing paper or other rubbish on the streets or in vacant lots, any person excavating without a permit, any person tacking or sticking cards or posters on sidewalks, fence poles or la other public places; any person scattering handbills or circulars on sidewalks, streets, porches, yards ?r private premises or distributing them to passers by; all teamsters who allow dirt or rubbish to fall from their wagons. Patrolmen are also Instructed to notify ail owners or agents of vacant property on their beats that weeds must be cut at once and all rubbish removed; to notify owners of abutting property where earth has washed down on to the street or sidewalk to ramnva th# Immedlntelv: cause the Immediate removal if manure piles which may be iu the alleys." Co-operative Street Work. If you would have abutting property owners interested in having clean, beautiful streets to the extent of active co-operation municipalities must be progressive in street improvements. It is hardly to be expected that clean parkways and well cared for street trees will abound In districts where town officials do not do their full duty. It is hard enough to obtain full co-operation even where existing conditions are well nigh perfect, and every degree of negligence on the part of a town is fully reflected in the slovenly condition of those parts under care of the residents. i HMON HIGH SCHOOL [ H r j (Kccciv?-il too Into for List wtfk's issno.

About twenty teachers answered the roll-call and the meeting was both pleasant and inspiring. The next meeting is scheduled for the second Saturday in February and all the teachers in the county are urged to attend. The following teachers were present: Misses Evelyn Nichols, Coral Coleman, Ellen Barrett, Althere McKnight, Mary McLees, Emily Ekhelberger, Frances K Epps, Connie Arthur, Susie White, Etta Jacobs, Agness Erckmann, L J Robinson, Edwards, Campbell, Bonner, Pattison, Messrs J W Swittenberg, W S Whittaker, R E McDaniel, J J Bush.

Youth and Beauty Meet and Pursue Primrose Paths of Pleasure. Benson, January 19:?Notwithstanding the short crops of the past year, farmers of this section appear not in the least to be discouraged, judging from the work preparatory to another cotton and tobacco crop. This month has been an exceptionally good one for draining the low places and cleaning out ditches,which work is essential to success in case of a rainy season such as we experienced during the critical period of our crop growth last year, At this date nothing is being doneregarding the purchase of fertiliz! ers. This time last year guano agents were busy and the planters were rather extravagant in their orders. This year we predict economy, a sacrifice of pleasure and an abundant harvest to the faithful laborers. We hope the corn enthusiasm will not abate,but increase, and the time is now ripe for all contestants to be diligently at work. The past week has been a very strenuous one with the young pleasure-seekers of this section. There was "something doing" every evening save one. We learn, however, th at the light fantastic trippers will have a season of rest, for the older heads have said "enough is enough" and that the superfluous energy of youthful exuberance shall be exercised at labors of more profitable returns for the time, perhaps. With a pecuniary invitation parenthetically expressed that the proceeds would be for a worthy cause, quite a crowd gathered at the home of Mr John McGill on Thursday. Oysters were served. Mrs McGill and Miss Helen Scott presided in the kitchen and the bivalves were pre pared deliciousiy. yuite a nice sum was realized. Among the visitors were: Mr W P McGiil, Miss Mittie and Mr P McGiil, Miss Mary Vause, Mr J B Alsbrook and Miss Stella Coward of Kingstree, Misses Mae McCrea and Elna Kendig of Black River, Miss Essie McRoy of Gourdins. Miss Courtenay Adkinson, principal of the Cedar Swamp school, has resigned the position on account of the feeble health of her mother. The school was fortunate in securing the services of Miss Helen Scott of Kingstree to fill the vacancy. Miss Scott has taught here before and endeared herself. to the pupils, earning a reputation for herself as a successful instructor and disciplinarian. Miss Effie Simmons of Summerville has accepted a school near Zeb postoffice. Mr Henry Phillips, who has been employed as salesman with P Rhem & Sons for several years,is at home, where he will engage in farming for the next year. Mrs May Wilson of Indiantown spent a short time here with rela*tives last week. Miss Etta Jacobs, of the Cedar Swamp school faculty,was unable to be present Monday on account of being slightly indisposed Jfrom a bad cold. Miss Annie Davis spent Saturday and Sunday in Kingstree. A certain popular gallant of the county capital is a frequent visitor in our midst. WES Rural Teachers' JsseciatlOB will meet at Indiantown Graded school Saturday, January 28. The following programme has been arranged: Prayer. Topic, "The Teacher as an Example to His or Her Pupils,"?Prof Crouch. Music, Miss Green. Topic, "How to Teach Preservation of the Health in the Lower Grades,"?Miss Cunningham. Topic, "Duties Commonly Cherlooked by the Teacher,"?Mr D E McCutchen. Topic, "The Man and the Mos quito,"?Prof 0 M Mitchell. Music, Miss Little. We hope to have Hon B B Chandler with us also. If there, he will speak to us on "The Attitude of the Legislature toward Further Development in the Schools." Chairman Programme Committee. 1-19-lt /* j
