One Dag for the Orphans.

"One days work in each year for the
orphans home by every person young
and DID," This motto has been accept
ed by about twenty institutions in the
Southern States, and the people arc
asked to cooperate. One orphanage in
Georgia received last year $4,000, as
a result of the observance Of the day.
We are informed that no institution IN
South Carolina has received more than
$4,000 in any single year, but this
would be a good time for the record
to be broken. We hope many thous-
ands of people will each send the pro-
ceeds of wages, salary or earnings OF

A banana leaf was brought to town
Thursday afternoon by Mr.. ]. S. Mich
OILS, from a tree about four feet high
which Mr.. Nichols says grew from a
sprout he had planted last Januar?
and which he had brought from Flor-
ida. The leaf measured 36 inches IN
length and 20 inches in width, accord
ing to J. B. Walton's rule. Chief OF
Police C. W. Bishop happened to see
Mr.. Nichols showing the leaf to The
Herald and News group, so he gave
the reporter duty to perform In tax
ing the measurements of the banana
tree near the Confederate monument
on the public square. The chief taxes
a pride in that banana tree and doesn't I
want it to be outstripped by a rival
tree. City Clerk J. r. Scurry did the
measuring and he tells The Herald
and News that the city banana plant
which is 6 1-2 feet in height, beng
somewhat older than Mr.. Nichols, mas
a leaf measuring 46 by % 1-2 inches.
