The mother* of children in South Curolinu who are coming to the State fair are asked to arram.e to come Wednesday or Thursday, October I8ttl and 19th) and to bring with them their little children between six months and rive years of age. For the first time, th ? State Agri? cultural Society of South Carolina will Judge babies us 'veil as pigs, hens and horses. For the llrst time, the -state of South Carolina will attempt to show parents what are the weak points in little children and put into their hands wise literature showing hew children should be eared for, so that they may be as line as it Is. pos? sible for children to be. The Woman's building on the State fair grounds has been turned over to the Public Health Department of the State Federation of Women's Clubs and Winthrop College for a "Fetter Rabies Contest. The doctors of Co? lumbia are Interested in the move? ment. They will give the children en? tered in the contest a critical medi? cal examination and score them ac? cording to the score cards of Un American Medical Association. The nurses of Columbia urc as much In? terested as tho doctors and have agreed also to serve tho little children of the State. There will be n room in which a preliminary examination will be held, no that no child with a contagious disease can enter the contest and so unwittingly injure another child. Cnildren who pass this preliminary examination will pass on for a medi? cal examination and from thence, to an examining room in which they are weighed, their height measured and chest and abdomen also measured. Then it Is easy to seo whether a child of a given age measures up to the standards which have been establish? ed by the American Medical Associa? tion after most careful examination and measurement of the many chil? dren. Next, the child's mouth, teeth and throat are examined. If there are de? fects, they are carefully noted. When the examination is completed, the score card is carefully computed by n scoring committee and a duplicate of it is mailed to the mother of each child examined.

In addition, there will be a room tit - ted up to show what is needed for the care of a young child and some of tho things in common use which ought, for the sake of the child, to be avoided. There will be balanced meals, for children of various agas. on exhibit. There will be a trained nurse or dietician In charge of these exhibits who will confer with par? ents concerning questions on which the pamntS wish to bt enlightened.

It seeks to center the attention of grown-ups upon the children, in the belief that it constitutes a practical means for disseminating knowledge concerning the child. Many a farmer knows today far nsttnff how to care for and fand bis slock than he knows how to care for und feed his child. Mothers and fathers do not often possess definite, scicntilie knowledge of the needs of children. Two and a half million nablSS are born each year In the United states. One-eighth n! them, that is. I ??,?+#, never reach their first birthday; one-fourth of them, namely, ihn. mm. never renelt their fifth birthday.

Nothing of an e\< ' ing nature here? abouts, everything is gloomy on ac? count of the war and tin low prices of cotton. Things do sure begin to look serious. "What cotton farmers are to do is more than can be seen at this time. As a negro here remark? ed the other day "Its going to take a man to climb June hill next year." Its going to be the man that has corn in the barn, pigs In the sty and cows In the stable that Will be able to make the climb. There is considerable cotton in the fields yet and this wet spell of weath? er is not doing it any good. Very lit? tle peas is being made hereabouts. The old cow pea is almost a failure, but the iron and cotton patch peas have done fairly well. Very little corn has been gathered so far. Rev. W. G. Blwell of Plnewood preached here last Sunday evening at the Heid school house. Mr. Wash Broadway of Paxvllle visited Mr. T. H. Osteen at the .Syca? mores last Sunday. Mr. A. R.
