The Big Should Con First Cosi FORMER PRESIDENT BIR . MINGHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BELIEVES BRICK THE CHEAPEST At First Appears to be the Most Expensive But There Are Sev eral Things to Consider. "In computing the real cost of a psvement. it Is of vital Importance both to the city paving commission and the property owners and citi zens that the price bid be not consid ered the sole criterion," said John W. Sibley, secretary and treasurer of the Southern Paving Brick Manufac turers' association, who is a guest at Hotel Chlquola and VtsltlQS Anderson In the Interests of brick for the pro posed contracta to be bid upon next Tuesday. Mr. Sibley is a resident of Birmingham, Ala., and was president of th? chamber of commerce of that city In 1912, and has been engaged In the brick business for 25 years, both In the-paving and building and face brink branches of the industry. He haa served as treasurer of the Na tional Brick Manufacturers associa tion for 20 years, so feels that he can speak with some degree of au thority on the brick situation. He is not here to sell any goods or to take any contracts, but the as sociation h erepresents desires to cooperate with the city authorities in securing .the best types of material for the splendid specifications pre pared by City Engineer W. A. San- \ ders. "The principal disadvantage that brick labors uuder in a comparative bidding with most other forms of pav ing," said Mr. Sibley, "Is the seem ingly higher first cost. Hut when a careful analysis Is made of all the ele ments that should be considered In ascertaining the first cost, the excess f, is more apparent than real. In the S first place, the money to pay for this work Is obtained upon bonds and cer H Uneaten of long duration, with con st ' sequent semi-annual Interest charges. * If the pavement adopted ahould wear out long before the maturity of the obligations, It would bo manifestly poor economy to select such a type, simply to gratify the natural desire to Spread the paving over the lurgest area. "Anderson haB had a brick pave ment under constant traffic for 12 , years, with practically no repairs needed, except where tbo pavement . had been torn up to make certain oth er Improvements needed by the city, and even with this abuse it has prov ed a most durable and dependable pavement No other fo;tn of paving proposed for the new work can show any record approximate gthis any where. And it is evident that the present brick street is good for many years yet. "Now' If some other form of paving would have to be resurfaced Inside of five to ten years, as the exper ience of other cities proves beyond contradiction, then the sum of . R0 cents to $1.00 per square yard should be added to the bids on other mater ials in comparing the first cost with brick. "In tin matter of cleaning the streets, the testimony of Cleveland, Ohio, shows ' that it costs $500 less per mile per annum to clean brick than any other kind, or $5.ot)o per mile in ten years. So that 20 cents per square yard should be added to the prices bid on other types of pav ing. In comparison with brick. ."On account of'brick being the most sanitary form of paving, it Is hard to calculate the amount saved to the community from that, standpoint, in the next place a brley pavement orlg tnate* no dual, wl *uh aside from comfort and appearance, saves a vast amount to merchants in the business section and to Ihr? housewives In the resilience sections. "All the pavements that havo bitu men, tar, asphalt um or creosote in their construction will In the sum mer time exude any oily substance, under th? action of the sun's heat, which will soli the shoe* ?nd ladies' skirts, besides track-staining the sftlawalka and floors, which la an Iteto - of considerable expense that should ha reckoned with In comparing MAY UN? Many sider Real t Pavement the first cost with brick. When till these points ore carefully weighed and considered, it wl|l be found that >ri'-k Is really the cheapest pavement in cost that Anderson or any other city can lind. That it Is eminently suited for the residence section, is proven by Its constantly Increased ise for that purpose in all the principal cities of the country, among the most notable examples being Cleveland and I'hica mt. JOHN F. VINF.K Colored .Ministers Have Parting: Mord For Ulm. We, the undersigned colored minis ters of the city of Anderson, gladly take this opportunity to bear our testimony to the significant' Influence that prince of preachers, so magnani mous in spirit, christlike in temper, gentle in disposition slid broad in und loving in heart. Dr. John 1'. Vines. We regret as do others his gobig. During the seven years of his pus tonite of the First Baptist church of this city, we have felt the Influence of his great work, the results of which is traceable to the fact of his connection with the greut power house above. Those whd 'have served In the) homes of his members us well us those who have served In public places liuve learned to expect some words of comfort und cheo:' from those who sat and listened to his message on Sunday. His lofty stand for civic righteous ness, from which there was no devia tion, is beautiful to contemplate, and the more one thinks of his firm stand for these, the better be becomes, for, "As a man thinketh in his heurt, so is he." As humble ministers we are indeed, delighted to have been so fortunate to live and serve In the city with Dr. Vines. From his work we have received encouragement and Inspira tion that will sesve us in the dark hours which surely confront us. Hi* personality and ideals will ever be-be fore us and will hold them worthy of emulation. We would have him belleV? that even though be goes to i'ounoke, Va., to continue his work, our prayers and best wishes go with him for nbundunt success. Then when the mists shall have cleared uway and time shall have burst into endless day we shall ex pect to greet him in that glorious realm. H. M. MOORE. ?NO. P. FOSTER, Ft. ('. ANDERSON.

President Gar Held ..Understood the Law of Advertising. The following interesting story about President-Garfleld is told in thq May American Magazine: , "James R. Garfleld t of Cleveland, son of the late President Garfleld, told one of the editors of the Ameri can Magazine the following story about traveling in 1878 as a boy with his father, who was campaigning. One night, after a speech in Michigan, young Garfleld said to his father: 'Why do you repeat so much? Do you know that you said the same things several times tonight? Do you know that you said the same things tonight that you said this af ternoon in Detroit?' General Gar field made this reply: 'You bappen to be an especially interested party and notice these repetitions. Others do not. I repeat the same state ments deliberately in order that peo ple may finally get them. Anything that I want an audience to get and remember I repeat several times?In somewhat different form perhaps. This practice I have developed out of my experience which baa shown me that people's attention is distracted in various ways and that a firat or a second statement may not really get to them. You must insist on an idea or fact if you want to get anywhere with it.'"

Sergeant Jim Bailey in Race for Motor cycle. Interest in the motorcycle contest continues to grow. The Palmetto Riflemen have made an entry In the person of Sergeant "Jim" Bailey and arc determined that their candidate shall win. More interest is now'manifested in the military company than has been the case for several years, and the individual members are exerting them selves to build up an efficient organi zation. One of the principle draw backs is a lack of funds with which the company can make their armory attractive. Should their candidate bo successful in this contest, the motor cycle will be sold at a fair valuation and the proceeds used to purchase much needed furniture, literature and other accessories which will tend to make the general reading room at tractive to the members. The maintalnance of this organiza tion is dependent upon a very meager state appropriation , and such aid as the city renders in paving for armory rest. Otherwise there is no source of revenue. The friends of Sergeant Bailey as well as those of each mem ber of the company are rallying to the cause and much interest Is mani fested in the race.
