London, Aug. 10.?"On tho whole, at the end of the first year or the war, medicino is found to have acquitted it solf well says tho Lancet. "There has been an absence of epidemic sick ness, and thero has been no catastro phe from sanitary faults. On teso'] principle that lives saved are lives | gained. th0 efficiency of the medical service has meant s gain of many lives to tho belligerent armies. "In Prence, the care of the wound mi behind the lines has steadily Im proved, and the experience which has bewt gained of unfamiliar diseases und conditions, snch as tetanus and gas gangreifi. will be of the gveatest value In the future. There have been Rovoral smart epidemics of typhoid, hut neither in the Rngllsh. ?*rench or Belgian ranks was the disease over] iillowed to make grave headway. Dar ing the winter there was much suffer ing from exposure, but the chief cause r>f disability wee 'trench foot.' There was less pneumonia and rheumatism than expected. "Concerning the Russia", medical service, the Information Is most satis factory, though some apprehension was at first felt about It. The dlt Pcn'.tv was not the personnel,.but the distances. But the devotion of volun tary effort! and O?! civilian medical men have overridden the difficulties; tho organization has been excellent, and the Russian army has been able to show a good bill of health through terrible year. "The story of Serbia le a triumph ot'\ preventive medicine, and the United Statos and England between them may Iny claim to tho credit. None of the stories of the terrible plight of the Serbians from typhus exaggerates th?; state of things. Rut the grip of the disease has een made *o relax, and the medical outlook Is now hopeful."

The Hammori Was a < WELL CONDUCTED AND MUCH GOOD WILL BE THE RESULT ATTENDANCE GOOD But Owing to Threatening Clouds Was Not Near as Large as Might Have Been. Between 400 and "?00 people were present at the farmers' chautarn-ua yesterday which was held at the Ham mond school, >he threatening weather preventing several hundred mona from attending. The day wns other wise a great success, several sp.-eches being made, a grand barbecue din ner being served, canning demon stration being given nnd a demon stration of plowing with gasoline tractor. The Hammond school house was the center of the exercises for it was in this building that the speeches were made. This Is one of the most modern and up-to-date rural school buildings in the stato and has the same modern conveniences that any city school has. gasolene engine pump puts water into a tank noar the school and the building it. sup plied with running water. Each speaker complimented the people of that section on having such a modern and model school building. Mr. ***?t Major had charge of the meeting nil Introduced he speakers. Prof. 11 urge ss. The ii ? was Prof. Burgees, dairy husband? an at Clemsnn College. Ho spoke of dairying and cows nnd gave the peook* some sound advice about thesP two subjects. He said that one reason the people of South Carolina were not making more profit out of their cows was becauso they did not keep pure bred stock and not that they did not have enough of them. He stated that people that kept cows for dairy purposes should have those bred to give milk and those who rais ed them for the market should have those bred *or heef. Another reason that more nroflt is not derived from the cow is that the proper food Is not given In the right amounts. Mr. Bur gess stated that a separate record ought to be kept of every dairy cow and If she was not paying, she ought to b? sold. Mr. Burgess then went Into the part the cow should play on tho farm and said that the average person did not realize tho value"of milk as a food product. He then discussed sanltnrv milking ard sar.l I tary handling of the milk after It was I taken ?<?? the bouse. Mrs. Bore Dee Walker. Mrs. Dora Deo Walker, assistant home demonstration state agent, was the next speaker.

Miss Fraysor praised the women's clubs and said that it was throovh these that so much coul-'? be done f"" the betterment of conditions in thu rural communities. She t-.rged thflt the men work for improvements a tho farm that wonld assist the hou?t ? wlfo'in doing her duties more eaa'.ly, such aa running water in the kitchen. relesa cookers, etc. She discussed school athletics, lycenm courses, etc., which go to hrlrg a community cloec* together and enables the people to live undor moro satisfactory sur roundings. .

At 2 o'clock dinner was announced bv tbe rln ^.ng of tho farm bell of Mr. J Pat Ma tor's and such en. outlay of food! It would talfe two whole col umns to do that dinner. Just'co. There v"*a a barbecue prepared by Messrs. Will and Alf Bailor, consisting of four shoats, four cattle, two sheep and four iambs, s total ot 1.20ft pounds of , meat. In addition to this all the la- ? dies of the community had prepared jreat Success picnic dinners and there were great quantities of frioti chicken, sand wiches, pickles, pies, custards, and < ;?'?:??.? of ali kinds. The dnncr wax served on a table erected in the grove near Mr. Major'? pretty country home, and was ko largo that every person was able to get around it and enjoy the good dinner. The service was excellent and no one went want ing. Afternoon Meeting. Just after dinner the men went back to the school house where a demonstration was ?Ivon by the In ternational Harvester comnany, a gasoline tractor made by this company hei?? shown pulling McKay disc plow and sub soil. This attracted quite a few and was indeed an inter esting sight. The plow was breaking the ground to a depth of several inches and was workinj; to perfection. Immediately eftef this demonstra tion all went back In the school house whcrc the speaking began again. Lieut, flor. Rethen. The first sneaker was Lieut. Gov. Andrew J. Bethen. Mr. Rethea's ad dress was very interestipg nnd by his wit be kept the audience In an uproar of laughter. Ills was message of good cheer and he asked thn people to look on the bricht side of the future instead of the dark. W. W. Long. Mr. W. W. Ixmg followed Mr. Ttethea. He called th0 attention of the audience to the change that the county had undergone since this time last year. He staled that last year at this time the outlook was dark and no one seemed to know just exactly what to do. He said that although the war was still raging in Europe with all its fierceness, the people bad a firmer hold, and had revived from the terrible shock produced by the war and were now nble nnd ready to look the futuro fair and square in the face, meeting their dnily problems with a bettor understanding and had a brighter outlook before them. Prof. F P. Ilare. Prof. F. P. Hare Clemson Cnl legp was the next speaker and he made a splendid address on the care of poultry and eggs. His speech was well listened to and doubtless much good will result from his sound dis cussion of chickens and eggs. Canning Remonstration. Dur'.j.? the afternoon Miss Jayno C. Ga.ungton assisted by Miss Mar thnt Platt, canning club demonstra tion agent of Abbeville county, and Mrs. Dora Dee Walker gave a can ning demonstration which was well attended. During the demonstration apples, pears and tomatoes were can ned. This was considered one of the best and most instructivo lectures of the day. As a whole, there never has been a meeting in the rural districts of An derson county that deserves as much praiso as the one Testerda y. The patrons of Hammond school are to bo complimented oh the way the meet ing was conducted and it is known that much good will be derived from It. IN' INTEREST UNION. President Golden, o?

We are told that the dance craee is no longer In Itt most marked fren zy. There aro reasons for believing that the mania 1c pot working with its former effect on the varied sorts and conditions of ^nen who responded to readily to Its s/ucopated call a year or more ago, Thus another and it is possible to take notice of its effects. Ono that Is inevitable here Is the addition to the socially elect. - There has undoubtedly como into existence a dancing aristocracy. The ability to do well what hfte interested society more than any other diversion for the past three years ha?, opend the door of many a salon to persons who but Tor their grace and agility would nev er hav0 been there. The ono of . the ? enthusiasm for dancing is going to leave behind it the one step -arvtovra?y. Just as the previous form of entertainment which interested society. In the narrower senee of the word, left its addition to the ranks of. tnjkaoclaily exclusive. Good bridge players were always welcome wherever they might hava bean in the habit of playing. 66 m?
