In almost every walk of life
there have been great women.
But has there ever been a wo-
man who has reached the very
highest pinnacle in any field? In
the June Cosmopolitan, Ella
Wheeler Wilcox answers this
questions in the negative and de-
clares that even in the essentially
feminine vocations of cooking,
dressmaking and millinery, men
excel women. Women" says
Mrs. Wilcox, "have not the con-
centration which gives clear
perspective. They lack sys-
TEN, and patience and are dis
tracted by details or turned aside
by vanity"

The editor of The FREE
Press had occasion to visit the
beautiful town of Waynesboro
last week and was pleased to note
the wonderful improvements in
that town during the past four
years. 1t was our good fortune
to reside in Waynesboro one
year and the association with the
good people over there was IN
deed most pleasant. Our visit
there recalled many pleasant
memories, and we had the
pleasure of greeting many old
friends, besides forming several
new acquaintances. Waynes-
boro is a good town.

There IS a deep pathos in the
picture by w. L. Taylor, called
THE Passing of the Farm, y
which appears in the June issue
of The Ladies Home Journal.
The bowed and sad-faced figure
of the lonely widow, standing
with one hand on the open door
of the waiting coach while she
takes long last look at her old
home, makes a strong appeal to
the feelings. The sad Novem-
Der sky, the distant misty hills,
the closed house, the deserted
barns, and above all, the detected
figure, brings lump INTO one S
throat.

The Progress of the South,


to the agricultural interests of
the South than the developcment
Of its manufacturing industries
during the last fifteen years. AS
the movement gains impetus the
farmers and landowners will
realize more and more fully the
benefits to be derived from the
widening of their opportunities.
The South has 50 long been
classcd as purely agricultural
section that the change it is now
undergoing upsets accepted ira
ditions. That it should utilize
a large part of its cotton and
lumbe and iron ore on the spot
is an evidence of the economic
progress Of the age.
What the South is doing, and
what it aspires to do to con-
stantly increasing extent, is to
create home markets for its raw
products. There is a point at
which agriculture must soon
langulsh when it is subjected to
the burdens of transportation.
The inevita BILE tendency is for
the manufacturer to get as near
as possible to his points of sup
ply. 1t is this influence that of
late years has been building up
new manufacturing communities
all over the South and turning to
account the rich natural re-
sources that have long been al
lowed to lie neglected or hidden.
There is no good economic rea-
son why the South should have
waited so long for it's cotton mills.
1t had the power and the mate"
rails, but it was satisfied to let
trade follow the beaten path and
to ship its cotton to New Eng
land and Great Britain. Now
that it has awakened from its
lethargy it proposes, with the
aid of capital and business eX-
perience, to make the most OF
the advantages that have fallen
to its part.
The staff correspondents of
The North American have visit
ed many of the Southern cities
during the past month. They
have found that the one great
need of the South, in the minds
of its leading business. men and
public officials, is manufacturing
Establishments to work on native
products. At Danville, Va, for
example, Mayor Woodng says
local capital is plentiful, but the
business men lack experience in
manufacturing. What they de-
sire, as he points out, IS some
one to lead the way, to start and
manage the plants with the CO.
operation of the local investors.
They know their own opportu-
mites, but are timid about taking
hold of them without outside
assistance and advice.
The springing up of manufac-
turing towns and cities through
out the South will stimulate
every branch of industry. 1t is
not merely question of finding
easier and better sale for raw
materials that go into the making
of finished articles, but of en-
couraging a greater diversity in
production. Immigration and
advancement in a material way
will constantly create new needs
that must be supplied and afford
new openings for profitable la
bor.-North American.

Columbia, s., G., November 25,-A
ripple of excitement was created
throughout tho state on "Wednesday
when 1t was learned that DIR. James G,
Moore, q prominent young physloiaGi
hal beon arrested In Marlboro county,
charged with praoticing medicine and

out tho warrant, went before tho grand
Jury and made q formal complaint, The
following morning SolioitorJ j. nj. John
son gave out q formal bill of indictment,
Apparently this Was a simple case, but
behind 1t all there is aatory of intense
interest to tho entire medical fraternity
In this State.
The General Assembly of South Caro-
lima, at Its last session. passed an aot a
part Of which roads as follows. X
"Nothing In this section shall apply to
regular graduates holding diplomas
iasued by any college of established repu-
tation In thia state which has q four
years' course OF instruction and q stand-
ard of not less than "a per cent on exami.
nations and make satisfactory evidence
of their standing to the State board Of
examiners."
This Is a test CASE and tho ambiguity
OF tho wording of the aot makes 1t diff
Quilt to comprehend.
The State board has no means Of ascer-
taining the fitness Of graduates save by
an examination and tho public demands
that their lives shall not be endangered
by incompetent practitioners and see no
reason why the Charlcston college gradu.
ates should thus be favored,
