Those who remain soon learn That

the soil, getting it into a good condi.
ton OF tilth, applying water day and
night, and perhaps all night, wading
around in the mud, or enduring the
heat OF the long days of brilliant sun

neighbors over division of water, the
possible seepage followed by crop

The Real Difficulty.
THE most difficult problems still
remain for the reclamation service,
he says. 1t has successfully solved
the engineering and business prob
lens, but those of dealing with the
settlers, giving them sound advice and
at the same time collecting from the
cost of the work, the dealing with the
human as opposed to the physical el-
ements are far more difficult than
those OF engineering construction or
related business management.

AIETHODISTS AT ST. MATTHEWS.
Growth of the Denomination Call for
Change.

The st. Matthews correspondent
of The News and Courier says:
After j. K. Wannamaker left $40
90 to build church here, and in
view of the further fact that it will
be placed in such an advantageous
location for it's future growth, the
local minister and cabinet thought
it high time for the membership to
take a forward step.
At a meeting Of the convention
Sunday morning, the movement to
make St. Matthews station was de-
finitely launched. AS the new church
is to be furnished, lot to be purchas-
ed and a handsome parsonage to be
built a few of the more conservative
thought a little delay advisable until
some of the present tangles are un-
travelled, but there is evidently such
strong sentiment for immediate ac-
tion that an immediate canvass will
be made looking to an arrangement
for meeting the increased funds.
Everybody realized the necessity
of the change at no distant date
which will be a great impetus to its
welfare and progress. The. circuit is
now composed of Jamison, Limestone
and Wesley Chapel. Jamison vii.
very probably be retained with St
Matthews if it so desires. At least
that is the intimation advanced from
the inner circles. 4

There are at least two thousand
people who take the Times and De-

The Times and Democrat for all the
news, local and all other kinds.
For that reason The Times and De-
mocrat has to be more thon mere
local paper. While it covers
all really important local matters, it
gives a full, bet condensed, state
ment of the happenings in the State
and the whole country. That this
is the kind of newspaper the masses
want is amply attested by the fact
that The Times and Democrat has
over twice as many subscribers as

Have Done Their Duty.

There is no room for any kick on
the health of the, city for it has never
been better. The present board Of
health has done its duty and the
members of the board are entitled
to the "well done" of all citizens.
Then, too, the health officer, Mr.. F..
A. Schiffley, has most intelNgently
and efficiently seconded the efforts
Of the board of health to preserve
the health of the city. If people will
take the trouble to look into the
matter they will find that both the
board of health and the health Off
Ger have been most efficient in the
discharge ii their duties. In fact,
we honestly believe that by prompt
and intelligent action of the health
authorities, this city was saved an
epidemic of small pox two or three
times the past year.
