ment was to the effect that instead of
holding one annual meeting and
crowding a lot of work and speaking
into two days. hold n annual meet
ing for the transaction of business and
three others for interesting discus
sions by able men representing the
cause of education, missions, etc.
Mr.. Freeman solved the problem by
moving that the constitution be not
changed but that in keeping with Mr.
CaWthon's idea, the association APP
prove the holding of three meetings
in different parts of the county as an
experiment to ascertain if interest
could be stimulated among the Bap-
fist constituency in this manner. This
E2otionaprevailed and On Friday the
executive committee, which consists
Of D. S. Pace, G. j. Lambeth and T. L.
Durham, met and decided to hold three
meetings in addition to the annual as
ISOLATION as follows. ~
Mud Creek Baptist church, Friday,

.Saluda Baptist church, Friday be-
fore the first Sunday in April.

During the coming year these meet
ings will be held instead of fifth Sun

proceedings of the association, but the
Democrat hopes to carry next week
some of the minutes now in prepara-
ton by the clerk and therein give the

DIR. w. Scheppegrell, who has been
in New Orleans for the past six weeks
in the interest of the American Hay
Fever-Prevention association, of which
he is president, returned to his sum-
mer home at Hendersonville on Mon
day, where he will spend a week be-
fore returning to New Orleans with
his family.
He states that the fall campaign of
the Americans .Hay-Fever-Prevention
association has been a great success.
By means of literature in all the
larger newspapers of the county and
! through the State Boards Of Health,
the public has been thoroughly edu-
Gated in the fact that fall ~hay-fever in
almost every case is due to one of the
two varieties of rag-weed, the COM
mon rag-weed (Ambrosia artemisiae-
folia) which is prevalent in this part
Of the country, and the great rag
weed (Ambrosia Trifida) which is
more common in the rich lands of the
coast.
Most of the State Boards of Health
have given their active response,
among which may be mentioned that
of North Carolina, Louisiana, Florida,
Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas,
New York. etc.
1.-The United States public health lei
vice has responded and in a letter tc
DIR. EScheppegrell the president of the
American Hay-Fever-Preve1tion as
ISOLATION, DR.. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the public health service
concludes as follows:
1T appears that the most practical
method Of securing the cooperation OF
the public would be by education as
to the effect of the presence of These
weeds in communities from both
health and economic standpoints. This
seems to be the primary objects OF
your association which is to be com.
mended for its efforts"
In New Orleans the campaign has
been especially successful. The may
or and commissioners of public works
have placed at the disposal of the as
ISOLATION twenty -convicts who are
now actively engaged in destroying
the rag-weed on public roads anC
near parks within the city limits.
A map of the city is being prepared
indicating the areas where rag-wee6
is most prevalent, and the city board
of health is actively engaged in mott.
flying the residents to destroy the
weeds in their lots in accordance with
an already existing anti-weed law.
The Women's Civic League associa-
ton has taken an active part in the
campaign and has appointed members
in all parts of the city to report lots
infected with weeds, accompanied with
!, the offer to send men from among the
unemployed for cutting the weeds.
Profitting by this experience Hen
Jacksonville is organizing a Hay-Fever-
Prevention association gzhich, it is
hoped, will begin9actiye work at once

TEST THAT NEVER FAILED
Mine Foreman Had Particular Reason
for Patronizing Sawyers Place
on His Vacation"

Among the old miners of Siskiyou
county man can get worse whisky
at Sawyer's bar than in any other
place on earth. This is the belief of
the gold-diggers OF that section, and
that faith is accepted as orthodox, says
the San Francisco Call.
Regularly every Christmas Billy x,
foreman of the Orc Fino mine, takes
. his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once
the superintendent asked him why he
always selected that place for his va
cation.
Il want to have one yearly drunk, =
said Billy, and / want to know just
when am drunk, so that may enjoy
the sensation"
well, can't you enjoy the sensation
in any other portion of the country or
state or continent?'' asked the super
intendent

whisky and it begins to taste good,
