Important Organs Functions

Its Secretions Responsible for
Giants and Pygmies.

DR.. Merrill Lindsey Of Topeka and
DR.. L. S. Milne. Of the staff of the
state hospital at Rosedale. have been
experimenting for some time to deter
mine the functions of the pituitary
gland and they now believe that it is
possible for a physician to control the
growth Of a child.
The pituitary gland is at the base Of
the brain, straight back from the bridge
OF the nose. For years no one has had
any idea what it had to do with the

DR.. Lindsay and DR.. Milne have been
following him.
Experiment With Dogs.
THAT gland controls the bone devel-
opment Of the body and also the fat
deposits" said DR.. Lindsay. by ex-.
periments with dogs we have been able

amount Of secretions it makes giants
while If the secretions are deficient it
makes pigmies. If the gland is defec-
tive it may produce abnormal fat.
by feeding the gland taken from

size. By cutting off part of the gland.
if it's secretiOnS are excessive it should
prevent abnormal growth. The feeding
to bring the gland up to normal is only
effective during adolescence. If the
gland gives off excessive secretions
after the body is fully developed it

and feet and large knots Of bone may

THE first investigation Of the func-
tons Of this gland were only made in

its infancy yet

Signing Notes a Serious Matter.

A: decree of the Court now sitting.
the wisdom and justice of which we do
not question. shows how serious is the
matter Of signing note. Little thought
m ay be; given to. the transaction at the
time the note is given, and yet the. pay
day is sure TO come.
It may develop too before the note
natures that the. maker did not re-
ceive full value in return, yet if
the note becomes the possession
of third party, whom the law
regards and protects as an innocent
holder, it must be paid. Therefore, be
slow to sign any note, and before
affixing your signature be sure that
full value has been mot will be) given
in return.
A father should teach his son the
seriousness of signing not g, and espe-
cially caution him against the danger
of endorsing notes. A little fatherly
advice and admonition would not intre-
quently save paying dearly for expert
ence later in life.

Smoking in Senate Prohibited.

Innovations and reforms, like the
traditional tortoise, travel slowly but
they finally get there, especially when
there is merit in them. When Senator
Tillman suggested to the senators sew
eral years ago that they refrain from
smoking during executive sessions, as
the smoke was obnoxious to him, they
ridiculed the idea. Undismayed by
repeated failure to bring about the re-
form, he kept hammering away until
sufficient sentiment was created to
enable him few days ago to pass
unanimously resolution prohibiting
smoking in the senate chamber during
eX ecutive sessions.

His First Speech Yielded Results

.as a d ~ = J.. b. l. =
If the members. of the. house of
representatives were put to the vote
as to which of their number made
the best speech of the session which
has just ended, the palm would pro.
hahly. 20 to J.. P. DeLaughter,
member from Elgefeld, who de-
livered his first speech in two years
on the floor of the house last Thurs
day night, in favor Of overriding
the governors veto of the approI RI
alton of $4O0 to erect a monument
over the grave of McKie Meriwether
Of Edgefeld. After MIR. DeLaugh,
ter's speech, the members of the
house overrode the govern ,r's veto
by vote of 80 to 4, the largest
vote during the session in favor of
not sustaining veto.
In picturesque terms, Mr.. De-
Laughter painted q word picture of
the scene at the Hamburg riot in
1875 in which young McKie Meri-
wether laid down his life to redeem
South Carolina from Radical rule.
Mr.. DeLaughter told the house that
M.riwether snatched life from the
hands of his aged father, rushed
into the thick of the fighting at
Hamburg, and died for his State
md white supremacy.
He was hero," declared Mr..
DeLaughter. IF it were not for
him and Others Of his stripe, de
mocracy and Wade Hampton would
not have gained the ascendency IN
1876"
When he finished his stirring
maiden speech, Mr.. DeLaughter was
warmly applauded by the house and
| the galleries. Mem bers crowded
around him to offer their congratn.
Iations.
After the veto as overriden
Mr.. DeLaushter told the houee
that, while many things might slip
his memory, he would never forget
that the governors veto of ths
small appropriation of s4OO for a
monument over the grave Of McKit
Meriwether had been set aside by
the decisive vote of so to 4.-Th'
State.

lands of Anderson county are more
valuable and command better prices
on the market than any other county
in the State, with the possible excep-:
ton of some of the level lands of the
Pee Dee section. Why this great diff
ference in the market value of the
farming lands? The character of An
derson's soil is not superior to that Of
Edgefeld. Farmers of this county can
grow as many crops and make as large
yields as Anderson farmers. Then why
do Anderson lands sell readily for two,
three and four times as much as Edge
field land? We are constrained to be-
lieve that it is due to Anderson's good
schools and good roads.
According to statement recently
made by State Superintendent of Edu-
cation Swearingen, Anderson has the
best rural schools in the State, there
being 26 graded schools in that county,
which in the aggregate receive from
the State more than Sc, O0O Land located
near a good school always sells more
readily and at higher price than that
near a weak, Unsupported, short-term
school. Improving the rural schools
will also tend to keep people onthe
farms instead of their having to move
to town to educate their children.
Another advantage that Anderson
county has over many other counties is
its excellent roads. Those who have
travelled in the Piedmont section state
that one can tell as soon as the Ander-
son line is reached by the splendid con-
dition of the public road. Farming
lands are, all things else being equal,
generally valued according to the dis
tance from or accessibility to market.
When heavy loads can be easily drawn
and satisfactory speed can be made
a farmer does not mind living 10, IL or
Is miles from his market. This dis
tance b scomes Objectionable when only
light loads can be hauled and practi-
cally the entire day has to be consumed
in going to market. az
If we would improve our county,
make rural life more attractive and
render the land more desirable and
consequently more valuable, we must
steadily improve the public roads and
build up the country schools.

Month of Maximum Fire Loss.

Statistics show that more property is
des troy ed by fire during March than
during any other month of the year.
This being true, it behooves property
owners to use every precaution at this
season to prevent fire. All combusti-
BILE material such rs leaves should be
removed from roofs and other places
where sparks are likely to fall. The
danger from fire is greatest at this
season for two reasons. First. all ma
terial is rendered dryer by the wind
and therefore more easily ignited; Sec
ond, because sparks are blown great
er distance by the wind
1t must be borne in mind also that
once a fire gains headway the high
winds of March make it impossible to
control the flames without adequate
water supply and modsrn fire fighting
machinery. Frequently fire can not be
confined to the building in which il
originated. There are some sections
in the town of Edge6eld where resi-
dences are in such close proximity that
with the wind blowing IN certain di.
rection six or eight homes would be
destroyed were one to catch fire.
See that ashes are taken up in meta
vessels and that all fire is extinguisheo
before they are left about the premises.
Burn cEimneys out thoroughly in wet
weather go as to prevent their catching
fire during dry season when the vino
is high. Fires are occurring con-
stantly in the towns and rural district:
and who knows but what it will be OF
your premises neyt.
