Anderson's sflendid tire-fighting force, wbdb did hucli effective work Tuesday night in checking flames thai threatened to invade the heart of Ul? business section of the city, ls liol the only asset In this line of which the town nuiy well feel good. Thc fact thut the department wa? enguged for several hours Tuesday morning in combating the tire in the block in trout of the city hall und uga In Unit evening hud Hie entire watcr-throwlug equipment playing on the hlg tire for several hours, gave rise to a question in thc minds ot many whether the city's water supply hud not been seriously impaired, a very serious situation were it true. Investigation reveals the fact that In spite of the thousands of gallons of water thrown on the two Hame? Tuesday but ? comparatively small amount of the water lu the reservoir was consumed, lt was stuted that the wafer in the reservoir measures un der normal conditions nine feet. Af ter the Dre of Tuesday night there was seven feet of water in the big basin. But two feet of,, water wa* taken out of the reservoir for use On these two fires. It is .not likely that Anderson will have iwo such (ires again within so short a period of time, and the Inci dent of Tuesday shows clearly tl it the city is protected by practically an unlimited supply of water for lire purposes. The pressure at both fires was ex for the reason that streams had to be thrown at times In the teeth of a gale. Conditions In this respect have undei-oiiP wonderful Improvement in recent times. All of which should be appreciated by the average citizen. We serve notice now: the farmer who produces the first crop of brag sweet "taters" needn't come around this sanctum boasting about it und expecting a write-up unless he brings along his samples. J. lt. IM Mi TALKS. Ther? ls a wonderfully clear cut and interesting urtlcle by Mr. James B. Duke in the April number of the North Anderson Review. It is need- j leas to emphasise, the fact that when this utan talks. ?-. be says something worth while. Recently one who was capable of judging said that a week's j association with Mr. Duke, provided] lui was In a- talkative mood, was al most a liberal education. lt is to bc regretted that the article cannot be reproduced. (Ie chooscc to talk through America greutest per iodical. Ile doesn't stand up like the modern Don Quixote and demand thai ! jil men bc sent to prison-hu sits down and t ii us seriously and calm and points out ? few things that uro lu sight. Ho only mentions. Inciden tally, that the rich may be displeased when they have to pay a direct tax and au income tax-but as it pleases the poor that the rich are so treated it may be well. He doesn't stand up und quote Jefferson who said thut sn Income tax would be Infumous ho passes lt along-knowlu* the rich may bc displeased and the poor pleas ed-because" the-rich have been swat ted-but Mr. Puke doesn't say so. When he says thut thc very thing.-, that brings the rich-man big dividends bring to the wage earner better sal aries- and abundant work-bring to j tito farmer a market at Its highest prices-and the thing that brings dis tress to one bring distress to all-he stops and awaits no applause. When Mr. Duke points out that con ditions which stop the dividends to tho man who has Something, may :.hrow the wago earner In ^the bread Un? he does not porclaim this great truth like the professional wind-jam mer or today-he simply says this ls the inevitable result-end of course ho understands tost the man with reason sees hjs point. Mr. Duke points out that Big Busi ness must be big to do big things end lt was ss a man doing things with the world for hie territory that he achieved the wonderful resulta in his business career. On?? time on the witness stand Mr. Harriman ex plained that he was no ten per cent man-and so lt ls with Mr Duke In the conquest of commercial world? be doesn't stop nt a county, a State, a nation-he grasps for the business ot the world-and lt means Big Busi ness. Mr. Duke points out that lt has never been the wrongs of Big Busi ness that have been crucified-but the site of the business seemed to cause the men interpreting tbe law to become alarmed. if the German squadron supposed to be cruising about in the North sea really wants a fight, why doesn't lt take ? little trip to the Darda nelles?-The ?State.

Tho smart young man was applying for a berth. "I/ct me see," said th a merchant, 'you've called on me before, ! ut not on your present errand. Tue first time you represented l';?-to Date Limited and offered to put our con cern on modern lines. Then you came on behalf ol' Systems and F'tos, and ?aid you were business doctors. And after that you came as tho publicity expert of the Newest tn Ads. Com pany?" "That ls so. sir." "And are all these-er-companies dead?" The young mau reluctantly admitted that they were. "Yet, after coming here three times to offer to teach us our business, when your concerns f.o down you cool ly solicit a berth in this poor effete old firm. Why, what usc are you to IIB?

How much of the influence of early environment, of those habituated reac tions which comprise for each one of us the iron ring of .his destiny, there is in even our deeper attitude toward the external world-toward what we call Nature, explains Walter Prichard Easton, in the May Harper's. Not long ago I spent many weeks in the prairie country of the West, a sense of oppres sion constantly increasing in weight upon my spirit. Those endless, level plains! Those roads that stretched without a break to infinity! A house, a group of barns, a f :-uit orchard, now and then a clump o' hardwoods, alone broke the endless, flat monotony of snow-covered fields-no, not fields, but infinitudes, where a single fur row could pot a girdle about an entire township in my home land! My soul hungered for a hill; my heart craved with a dull longing the sight of a naked birch tree filing aloft against the winter sky. Back through the end less plains of Illinois the train crawl ed uway from the setting sun. But the next daylight disclosed the gentle, rolling slopes of the Mohawk Valley, und before many .hours had passed the j Berkshire Hills were all about us, like familiar things recovered. The camel hump .of i?roylock, to the uorthTwos sapphlre-bluo and beckonlngn. The nearer mountains wore their reddislj mantles, pricked with green, above the snowy intervales, and laid their up reared outlnes stark against the sky. Shadowy ravines let Into ther flanks, suggestive of roaring brooks and the mystery of tho Wilderness, The clouds trailed purple shadow-am -mrs ; the sun flashed from tho Ice on their scarred ledges. And a weight seemed suddenly lifted from my spirit. The words of the ancient Psalmist came tu my Hps unconsciously: "I will lift up mine eyes to tho hills. From whence cometh ray help? My help cometh from God." i ABOUT Tl Shipped Radishes. Mr. J. W. Hill states that nearly two. carloads of radishes have been] shipped from tho farm of Hill and Hughes Jnear the city. Mr. Hill stat ed that the principal expense In growing the radishes was the prepar ation of the ground, and the fertilizer, about 2,000 pounds of guano being used to the acre on the four-acre patch grown this year. The radishes grew very fast, and very little culti vation is required.-Bamberg Herald. Skips Garden Peas. Mr. Fred Harper made the first shipment of garden peas from this place Tuesday. Notwithstanding the severe damage to his 10-acre crop by the hail storm last week, Mr. Harper expects to gather about half a yield.

What hazards photoplay performers take in their endeavor to furnish real istic thrills for the film drama is graphically illustrated tn a photogrnpn reproduced in the May number of Pop ularMerhanics Magazine, which shows an airman making a fatal plunge to the earth before the lens of a movie camera. Spectacular realism was wanted, and death was the result. The scenario, called for thc destruction of. an aeroplane in mid air, and for this a dummy machino was-used. The air man was parsed over the craft when the explo?'.on occured and it is assum ed that the force of the detonation de stroyed the equllbriuni of his machi:.e. The photograph was taken an instant, after the dummy plane was blown to pieces and shows the other machine, in the act of tilting over at the beginning of Its 300-foot dive to the earth, which ended In the death of the pilot. Two Delirious Meals.. In the May Womfen's Home Compan ion Ida M. Tarbell, writing a remark able article entitled "The Twenty-Cent Dinner." says: "Of thc two meals which linges In my min>4, as the most delicious I ever ate-the sweetness of which I shall never forget-one was .made up of black bread; and coarse 'cheese, only discovered after a long hunt-at a* wayside station in Franco, the other of two battered sandwiches rescued from the bottom 'of a Swisa bag after six hours; pf .fighting in blinding snow across -a glacier and Jown a mountainside.
