These occasions are of great value in many ways. The people are brought together and good fellowship is promoted, ideas are exchanged and a great stimulus is given to farming, stock raising, poultry raising and, in fact, many other equally valuable endeavors. Let everybody Till! 1 fni* f n V.J 1? 1 ? x.?.. ..v.. iuii , unu icii everyooay make it a point to attend at least one day. The impetus given to school improvement in the county by the day driven to the schools, is worth all the fair costs. Come, everybody, to the fair. From what we Rather, one of the greatest troubles with our farming methods is the fact that the average farmer undertakes to cultivate too much land. If the effort should be made to improve one-half while making cotton on the other half of the land now cultivated, there would soon be a far better condition prevailing. The other day we saw a field of cotton containing 11 acres that will yield this year a bale to'the acre. The land is the Allen lands, located in Jonesville township and cultivated by J. F,. McKinney. There is no doubt of the fact that this field will yield that much even this unfavorable year. This land, six years ago, would not produce a half bale to the acre under the most favorable seasons. The methods of farming put into practice by Mr. McKinney is responsible for the improved production. "The boll weevil is coming!" This ik. ii-.i ! t .o me try inai. is Deing raised all over the State of South Carolina. And it is an alarm that should be heeded. We can meet this foe by one only defense. We must find something besides cotton to depend upon. So far no other way has been devised. If we plant cotton, the boll weevil will come. He is the enemy of cotton. It is now the business of the farmers to get to raising some other crop as the staple crop. We have a few of these destructive agents sealed up in a bot- ; tie and covered in alcohol. Mr. J. W. , Nance brought them to us from a trip i he made to Mississippi. These fellows 1 are ugly and dangerous looking and j we believe it would do the farmers , of Union county good to take a look at this bottled variety. It would be worth something just to see how a boll weevil really looks. Call in and we will let you take a look at these we have on hand. INTERESTING LETTER FROM MISS LOR A CLEMENT Who is Representing the First Raptist Church of This City on the Foreign Field. Cheung Chow via Hong Kong Sept. 4, 1910. Dear Friends and Fellow-workers: I received Mr. White's letter of May 24 about June 30 or a few days later and I have delayed writing you until I knew you were all back to your various work after the vacation season, which I hope was as pleasant and beneficial to you as I feel mine has been to me. For the month of Aug A. T * ** use i was in riong Kong on a mountain peak wwhere it was quite cool, especially for South China. I expected to be studying for several days now, but for some reason my language teacher has not arrived and so I still have a few more leisure days. By the time you receive this letter a year will have passed since I left you. But with changing scenes and getting readjusted to new conditions and having my time so well occupied with language study I can hardly realize it has been so long. During this time, however, I have been homesick, more than once, to see you all, and for the sweet fellowship which exists among you. I do follow you and rejoice with you in your steady growth and progress in every way. We were all so delighted in reading the account of the splendid convention in Asheville and more pleased to hear that since then the debt has been entirely removed from the foreign mission board. In telling about the beginnings of work in different places in my last letter, I notice I said, "All the work was begun in iust such a way as I described." I did not intend to state it thus but only gave that one of the many ways of opening up work in new places expecting to tell you more in subsequent letters. In some instances entrance to villages and towns is sought for years before it is obtained. A missionary and a native colporter may go to a ! place and selling tmnfa - ? MVVW UIIU tlUII.*) of scripture, they Ret an opportunity to talk to individuals and also to the large crowd which usually gather around and tell them about Christ. The printed page is highly esteemed among Chinese and the sales are good, especially the first time Christian literature is circulated in a place. After thev discover that it all concerns a new religion, the majority of people have no use for them and onnose their sale. At the second and later visits not so many are willing to buv. The visits are continued at intervals for years sometimes before any tangible work can be established. Later a place may be rented where the missionary or Chinese preacher or both go every few weeks and proneH iroope/ to those who gather in from the streets. It is usually a large crowd but often a changing one?some coming and some leaving but the Lord blesses the seed sown and His own sheep hear His voice and follow Him. Since I wrote you in March I have visited our Baptist work in Wuchow, a city two days up the West river from Canton. Wuchow is not as large as Kong Moon nor is the district so thicklv populated as ours, but it is a very important centre because of its being the entrance to the large province or state (as we call it at home) west of ours. It is here the river steamers from Canton and Kong must stop, further travel up the river being done by ' launches and tow boats. Eight missionaries are stationed here. They have a boys' and a girls' boardine school there and splendid church building built principally by funds from the home l?r,H The Sunday school is well attended and they have a primary department downstairs. Most of the children are fathered in from the street and are dirty and at first were quite disorderly but they soon learn to be ouiet and learn to sing. While T was there Miss Rea, who has charge of the girls' school, temporarily organized a Woman's Missionary society and it was so interesting to see them take hold of the work. Of course the programs have to he gotten up by the missionaries and they will have to be shown how to conduct them as they are so new to the Chinese. When our South China W. M. U. was organized the first of this vear, T, together with one of our Bible women, was elected vice president for our Kong Moon field, where we are to organize W. M. societies. Mrs. Sandstrom and the Bible women will have to do the work thouirh for T am not fluent enough in the language to use and explain the terms president, vice president, etc. One part of the work in Wuchow which especially interested me was that done in the hospital with Dr. and Mrs. Haves, (she being a graduate physician), Dr. Tx?avell and a Chinese doctor in charge. People from Wuchow and the country around come for medicines and treatment. Those who are able to pav the re ouired fee do so, but many are treated free. An hour before the disoensary hours the crowd is crathered in nnd the floors are closed. A Chinese preacher preaches the Word of Cod to them and later he and the Bible women talk to individuals about Christ and answer any questions they mitrht ask. After this thev receive their treatments, etc. They usually have a great many "in patients," whom thev tret to know longer and better and rpany of whom are lead to a definite acceptance of Christ. Hospitals are wonderful evangelistic agents and we sure hope to have one in our field sometime. Since I wrote you last we have had four, three women and one man, baptized in Kon Moon. Those I asked you to pray for in San Wool city give every evidence of being earnest Christians. I want to thank all of you who 1 had part in sending the post cards : and Sunday school cards. I am sure i they will be mighty agent to interest and gather in the children at our "out Sunday school." The work in most of our stations is being much hindered by revolutions and revolts here and there. Out in the country districts the robbers are very bad and the people are always afraid of their approach and the demands they make. It is yet uncertain whether the Canton schools can be opened this month as the seat of the fighting is there now. So far nothing has happened to missionaries except the loss of household goods in one instance. Yours in the best of bonds, Lora Clement. 'report.

I GERM INFANTILE PARALYSIS I FOUND AT JOHN MOTRINS Baltimore, Oct. 17.?The mystery surroundine the cause of the spread of infantile paralysis has been solved, according to an official announcement made Monday at Johns Hopkins hospital. Extensive research conducted by Dr. Horace T. Burrows, pathologist of the hospital, has resulted in the discovery of the infantile paralysis germ, the existence of which was established nine years ago by Dr. Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller institute. According to Dr. Burrows, the disease is not spread by contagion, but the germ is introduced into the human system through the mouth in milk or water. "Always in every case of the disease a germ has been found in the big intestine showing that the disease is spread by some raw food. That that food is milk or water is estab lished by the fact that babies, whose only diet has been milk or water, died of the disease. Dr. Burrows and his assistants, under the direction of Prof. Wm. H. I Welch, have been making autopsies upo nevery victim of the disease since July. They have conducted a careful microscopic search. Of the diseased organs it has been found that the germ occurs only in ' the colon. The investigations prove that 100 per cent are infected in the big intestine. Since it is only oossible for the germ to enter the big intestine by way of the mouth, food j and drink must be the carriers. This discovery demonstrates for the first time clearly that raw food contains the germ of infantile paralysis. The investigators are so certain ' that this is true and that there is no ! other way for the disease to be con- 1 tracted that thev suggest that the 1 quarantine be raised against personal j contact and that all law foods, such as milk, waters, fruits, etc., be steril- ' ized, boiled or cooked before being * given to children or others. The investigators found that house ' flies and other insects undoubtedly ^ help to spread the germ from one 1 food to another. This discovery is the first one that has been given out officially by Johns Honkins hospital before it has been published in a recognized medical journal. This rule is broken for the first time in order to clear up the mystery surrounding the disease as quickly as possible and in order to allow the schools to open and business to go on j as usual. The find was not made by accident, ] but as a result of a painstaking re- ' search. The spread of the disease is so much like that of typhoid fever and j its methods of communication that j the investigators are sure they have hit upon a way to make an anti-polio- j myelitis vaccine like the anti-t"nhoid t vaccine that stamped out typi.oid in . the United States army.
