How Township Government Would

had township meetings at least once
a year, gathering all the people to-
gether to discuss roads and schools
and taxes, and health matters and
public improvements, etc. etc, and
everything looking to public progress
and the public welfare. This is what
New England has done for genera
tions, and her material progress is
. largely due TO it; this is wha3 the
South has not done, and our back
wardness is partly due to our not nav-
ing done it.
! Once a year there is the regular an
nual town meeting" in each rurs
township or civil district in Massa-

of the town or civil district meet to-
gether and all the business of the
township or district is arranged for.

.:ndrcW's Birthplace.

The average South Carolinian is a
very busy man these days-tco busy
in fact, to consume much time dis
cussing a point which has long been
settled. That is why so little atten-
ton is paid the insistent claims of GER
tain North Carolina newspapers that
one Andrew Jackson was a native of
that State. The weight of authority
undoubtedly agrees with the statement
Old Hickory often made himself, that
he was a native South Carolinian,
born in the Waxhaws, some 20-odd
miles southeast of Fort Mill. Of course
it is not probable that andrew went
to the trouble OF locating the Safe
line the day he was born to make
duObly sure he was a son of this
blessed Commonwealth. as some Of
the Tarhell fapers think he should
have done, but his own testimony
ought to be worth something. Certain
ly Andrew Jackson wa sa South Caro-
linian, but if there we're any doubt
about it, who Of the million and more
sons Of this Commonwealth now in
the land Of the living would care a fig?

ARMY AND NAVY RESTS.
Greater Modification OF Requirements
is Contemplated.
Washington Herald.

Washington Herald.
The time has again arrived Tor
revision Of the methods OF con 1uct1nG
physical tests of certain officers ot the
army and navy. A general ord: per-
tanning to army officers has been IS
{ sued from the war department, pre-
Ecribing the requirements for the
coming year. A similar order is IN
course OF preparation in thk;avy de-
partment for the guidanceG~ the per
sonnel of the navy and n7irine corps
The army physica! tesy has been
somewhat modified, an9bthere is said
to be in contemplation greater
modification Of the requirements gov
erping the naval and marine corps
test
. This lessening of the severity OF
the demand upon officers is wise and
lust. The physical test, as demon
srration Of fitness for military duty
has caused decentralization Of the per
sonnel, in that it has created wide dis
content and aroused much apprehen-
sion. It has had a psychological effect
which must have eXerted its influence
rnon the efficiency of the personnel,
especially as there are not wanting
examples of the premature retirement
of officers whose disqualification
was based on an excessive and e1-
traordinary standard, which overlook
ed experience and other characters
tics that should have counted for
something against the inability to rloe
or walk a stipulated distance within
designated periods.
So long as the physical test is pro-
tected from becoming the disastrous
cause of elimination-for the sake OF
promotion, however agreeable ao-
yancement may be to junior ofncers'
impatient over present delays-tnere
is nothing to be offered in oo1ectlon
IN the system: but when it is MADE
the reason and occasion of creating
vacancies by the process Of retlre-
ment Of officers who can not DO atnle-
+ic stnnts on horseback and as pedes-
trians. the victims may not be Dlam-
ed if they regard it as positively VI
cious.
Tt is agreeable to note that the sur
geon general of the army and tn1
surgeon general of the navy have IN?
terposed to prevent any such unfalr
and unnecessary elimination. Those
officials have pointed out the dangers
of taking a commendable system to az
extremity, which means hardship for
individuals and defeats the ostenslble
purpose of the original plan, Whlcn
was to encourage and inculcate the
habit Of physical exercise.
If some plan can be devised by
which officers can be kept in good
physical condition, capable Of taking
the field at any time in case OF war
as is stated in the general order OF
the war department on the subject
there is much to be gained by the
military-naval personnel. But it is!
absurd to lay down any hard and fast
rules by which officers shall abide in
maintaining that desirable state OF
physical readiness.
AS for the annual test or demon
stration, it should be considerate OF
advancing age and avoid requirements
which make no distinction between
the junior and the senior officers.
Then there will be no occasion to re-
gard the requirement as hardship
or an outrage upon the dignity of mill
tary rank.
