SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS-
In Session at Seneca-Ann cement
OF Marriage.

Southern Sociological Congress is
holding a session in Seneca this week,
privilege which small towns do not
often enjoy. The Congress was in
Greenville last week, and it was
learned here that few days would
intervene before the date for the next
conference, at Rome, Ga. Rev |. e.
Wallace went over to Greenville to
see If arrangements could be made
to have the congress come to Seneca
for Il few days, and credit is largely
due Mr.. Wallace for its presence here
this week. One Of the conditions
upon which this organization visits
4 town Is the cooperation Of the miG
listers and the board OF health The
origin and purpose Of the Southern
Sociological Congress are already
known, it having been organized six
years ago in Knoxville, Tenn. There
are thirteen men and women with
the congress. each having distinct
line OF work, and itineraries are
made each year throughout the
Southern States. Seneca hopes to
claim it permanently. On Sunday
last addresses were made in all the
churches in town and in many Of the
adjacent communities. Each day
this week, through Wednesday, mass
meetings are held in the evening, and
each afternoon women's meetings are
held at the Baptist church. The bene-
fits derived from this meeting are in
estimable. survey OF the town
will be made and sanitary and by
gienic conditions looked into thor
oughly. The exhibit which goes with
the concern Is on display, and DR..
Reid, physician Of national reputa-
ton. is in Dr.. Illness Office on Main
street for the purpose Of conducting
physical efficiency tests. The idea
advanced Is, Keep man in fit con-
dition by examination before he be-
comes sick, thereby safeguarding
health" A Red Cross representative
Is with the party, and it Is highly
probable that an organization will be
an outgrowth Of the meeting Of the
congress here.
would like to call the attention
Of the expert who has charge Of the
sanitary survey to the aforemention-
ed spittoons Oh our streets. These
are supposed to be ventilators, but
the purpose has been aborted with
the above disgusting result. For
fact. we have a splitting ordinance
and we have policeman who will
enforce it, so it's up to the Council to
back him in putting down this nuis-
ance---a menace to health and an eye
sore to the walking public. (Gold
