RESPOND TO INVITATION.
Increase in Attendance at Washing
ton Heights Presbyterian Church.

The spring communion was observed In
the Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning. and during
the service Rev. w. d. Moss. the pastor.
received twentyfour new members into
the congregation. Several months ago an
addition was built to the church audito-
rum, giving an additional seating ca
pacity of about 800, and since that time
the attendance at the services has been
so heavy as to almost take up the adj
dttional seats. Notices have been posted
in all of the big apartment houses on
Washington Heights inviting the resi-
dents to attend the services at the church.
and as q result the congregations have
steadily Increased in size. The rapid
addition to the membership is a source
of much qualification to the pastor and
officers of the church who hope soon TO
increase the membership largely over that
at the present time.

ELIMINATION OF DISEASE.
DR.. J. J. Shirley Addresses the Sec
ular League.

The Secular League was addressed at
Pythian Temple yesterday afternoon by
DR.. J. J. Shirley on THE Elimination of
Disease DR.. Shirley advocated war on
tuberculosis and other diseases by the
national government as the most inlpor-
tant and effective step in the elimination
of disease. He held that it is to the
interest of the people collectively to
make national campaign against dis
ease. and elected enthusiastic applause
with the declaration that the money used
in building battleships should be used in
building sanatoriums.
The address was supplemented by J.
w Nigh. who discussed the relation of
drugs to disease and health.
The debate which followed. in which
the subject of vaccination largely fig
ured was participated in by DIR. NJ. S.

Porto Ricans and the Olmsted Bill.


In yesterdays edition Of your paper !
read the objections to the proposed Ohm
sted bill made by the Porto Ricans who
are appearing before the committee on
insular affairs and who have been sent
here to represent the house of delegates
in their country. Porto Rico has been
dissatisfied with the so-called Foraker
act and it has been the earnest desire
of the whole people of the island that
the same may be amended with respect to
some of its provisions. When Secretary
Dickinson visited Porto Rico the two
great political parties there united them
selves with a view to ask Congress to
allow blanket citizenship and a totally
elective senate to Porto Rico. These were
the true and only wishes of all the peo
pie. Upon recommendations made by Mr..
Dickinson the Olmsted bill was framed,
and the dissatisfaction created by some
of the provisions in it is generally felt
all over the island 1t may be said that
this bill is less favorable to the Porto
Ricans than the Foraker act itself. 1t
would be a disappointment if after ten
years of patient waiting and continuous
asking fer more liberties Congress should
pass law depriving the Porto Ricans of
their rights. and. moreover, diminishing
those benefits that they now enjoy. Porto
Rico is not half-civilized country and
entitled to nothing but what Congress
sees fit to give it. The island was civil
lied good many years before American
occupation and its people are liberty
loving the same as any other civilized
country. Congress should open its eyes
and understand that what ii should do
is to pass a law that will satisfy the
Porto Ricans and make good American
citizens out of them. This would be the
best and easiest way to Americanize the
Porto Ricans. Let Porto Rico have its
own elective senate, let its people he
American citizens and they will prove
their gratitude to the United States. Re-
member the days Of long ago when you
were crying for liberty and perhaps IN
the same position as the Porto Ricans at
present. While it is easy to be strong
with the weak, this is not to be eX-
pected from the American people.

The Game Cocks were seen in act

in game with the Charleston Cole
gians. The locals were a little uneasy
all through the game, owing largely
to the fact that it was the first con-
test of the season and for the addi-
tlonal reason that they were up
against a bunch of the best college
players i'm the State, and they realized
that they had a pretty big proposition
t" deal with. Errors on the part of
the locals. coupled with a few timely
hits and mixed in with a number of
errors gave the visitors the victory.

OF the blue. They have enough to

broken. bitches filled up and sand

grew. The writer's who seem to think
that all the farmer has TO do is TO

food and breakage and stealage of
unnecessary servants, money enough,
if saved annually for thirty years, to
purchase every acre of gOrund in the
State. our whole landed property
is eaten up by servants one time du-
ring each generation. 1t is impossible
to become wealthy under such con
ditions."
1t is common remark Of people
who have lived in both sections that
it takes three times as many servants
in the South as in the North, and in
many cases it amounts, as DR.. Win
ston says, to our making ourselves
reverse. At the University of Wis
consin, which I visited, / heard a
good story which strikingly illus
trates my point. When Ambassador
Bryce Of Great Britain visited the
University last year ne was a guest
of the President DR.. Chas. r. Van
Hise. one of the foremost educators
in America, and a man whose salary.
| presume, is upwards of five thous-
and dollars. When Mr.. Bryce went
to bed. he put his shoes outside the
door, thinking that they would be
BACKED by servant. The two beau
tiful daughters of DR.. Van Hise. see
ing the situation, BACKED the shoes
themselves, and Ambassador Bryce
never knew any better until the story
leaked out by accident some months
later.
In Madison, ! was the guest of an
other man Of distinction, who prob
ably has an income of $4,000 a year.
At supper his young daughter, about
fourteen years old, waited on the
table, and nobody even thought to
make an explanation of her making
herself useful in this way, instead of
depending on a servant, as a family
with one-fourth the income would
have tried to do in the South.
or course where a family does it's
fences are used, and the kitchen in
the North and West would be a reve-
iation to most of our Southern
women. All the most up-to-date
cooking appliances are used, and the
kitchens are so small that nearly all
the utensils and appliances are within
reach as the woman stands at her
stove. Nor do the men expect hot
bread for every meal. If our women
in the South need to learn the lesson
OF depending less on servants, our
men in the South need to learn the
lesson of providing better equipped
Kitchens and dining rooms and all the
labor-saving conveniences that can be
had. And these are at least cheaper
than servants-Progressv Farmer.
