If the Russians koop on making "strategic ret reatB" at this rate, they will eventually lure the Germans clear to Manchuria. And then mnybi the Jupa will lick their enemy for them. Con that be the real purpose of Russian strategy? .-o Of course the new Gorman method of burning the enemy to death by a stream of fire blown from a sort ol Bunsen burner ls more merciful than the Indian method of burning at tito "stake. It's much quicker. And tito Victim isn't scalped fln*t. either. The i iee' trust's earnings for thc lavt quarter were the biggest in seven years. It ls estimated that Us earnings for the next quarter will be the biggest for fourteen years, which will'mean tho greatest prosperity In the htstory of tho industry. And thc following quarter-but what's the : uso? o. A sroup of giri students nt Ute Har vard summer school have pledge?] themselves not to marry before they're twenty-five. And the fact that they're sufficiently Interested in mat rimony to make a pledge like that ii pretty good evidence that they'? likely to break it the moment tin right man comee along. -i-O A mother was severely reprimand ed by a Brooklyn, N.

The Intelligencer not?.'? with pleas ure that the trouble ut the Anderson Mills i H seemingly ut un end nnd that operations will be resumed at tho iiKiiai hour of Btartlng next Friday morning. Tho?u win) have signified their de siri) to return lo work arc to be con gratulated on the go?>U judgment Uley have Bhown, und we trust that the small number who ure yet holding out will reconsider between now and Hie time set for til?; mill to Htart up again ann return to their respective post? of duty. The Intelligencer is not taking th?: Hltii- of Hie nilli authorities in tills in;ilt(r, and what we have to say is hiiid out of a sense for what is Just ami proper. We believe that there are several things wliieli I ho:*; per sons who are holding out have not considered, and we believe that if they will be stop long enough to think calmly and without prejudice of these tilings they will he willing to! return to work and never again par-1 tioipato in a v/alkout Kirst, they should consider that th ? fact their demand for an Increase in wages is unwarranted. Huslnes? de pression throughout the country, wliieh started soon after tho outbreuk of the European war u year ago, hus caused a reduction in the expenses of operating practically every concern in which there is paid help. Practi cally every railroad in the country re duced tho pay of employees, as did hundreds of other concerns. Many of them did more than that. A great many of them reduced their forces, thus throwing thousands of men, wo men and cliildren out of work alto gether. It ls safe to say there 1B not a business in the whole land that did not feel the pinch of tho hard times, and tho employees of which did not experience this also. But throughout all of this trouble thc mills have kept going, and the employees have receiv ed their usual wages. They aro prob ably the only class of employ?e? in tho land whose wages have not been reduced. And they are probably the only people who have enjoyed con tinuous and uninterrupted employ ment throughout this season of busi ness depression. Second, they should , consldr the stockholders of the mills. As Presi dent Hammett has stated, the mill has not paid Ita stockholders anything on their Investment since 1007. Much of the stock in this mill is owned by widows?, orphans and other people in ordinary circumstances. They are en titled to some consideration, wt be lieve. They should realizo a Mttlo something on their investment. Thu husbands of some of these widows and the fathers of some of those or phans gave of their hard earned money that the mill might be possible. When the mill came into being it fur nished employment for thousands of people, and the employees ought to feel a certain amount of gratitude for being afforded the means of earning a living. Third, they should remember that the mill workers of Anderson ure re ceiving higher wages now than the employees of mills tn other parts of tho country. , * Fourth, they should have some con sideration and esteem for the mill of ficial-. These officiais are good mott. ' They are kind hearted, they are not heartless tyrants. They havo the wel fare of the employees at heart, they do not desire to grind the employees down. They have always toted fair with the people who work in the . mills. They have never deceivod tho people or taken an unfair advantage of them. Were lt possible for them to do anything more than they are now doing for the welfare ot the em ployees of the mill, we aro confident they would do It-and they would do lt voluntarily. There wouldn't have to be any strike to make them do it If they were not the right kind of men you. can rest assured the stock holder! of tho mills would not have them filling the positions which they i hold. There's yet another thing that should be considered. This state is a hot-bed of selfishness, and some ot yon good people are being given all ? kinds of advice by selfish Interests, i They pretend to be your friends and ; pretend to be interested in your wel . [faro. As a matter of fact, they don't i bare three hurrahs for you or your ! welfare. All they care for ls your > support in the furtherance of their ?elfish purposes. Your mill president, your mill superintendent, your boss . weaver, your boss spinner, your boss > carder or any of the other mon under I whom you work would come a whole i lot nearer making some sacrifice for . you than one of these persona Ton people are no fools. Ton ara i the salt of the earth. Ton have plenty r of brains and you aro able to do your - own thinking. Do your own think ing la this matter and do not be mis lcd liy a tVw ereiisli people who will forsake you the day they eau no long er use you for their own Hellish needs. Tho surest thing about this crazy war is tint nobody loves a neutral. THOSE STIIANIrEO TOI HISTS. The record of the Amercan tourists stranded in Europe latft year ami brought home through the help of Uncle Sum is not Haltering. From first to 'ast. they seem to have lm posed Of Uncle's good nature. To biKln with, they raised Cain be cause tho government didn't instant ly dispatch a hattie fleet to round them up ami bring them home when Ihey were caught in the war cone without cash. Aud then, when the government opened its treasury and paid their faro home, about half of them accepted the money as a gift, In spite of an explicit understanding that it were merely a loan. Such, at least is the logical gist of a report published by Ute state dc partmonL Of half a million dollars appropriated by congress and advanc ed to tourists, only about $200.000 had been ronald at the end of June. There is no disposition to press (hose who realy desire to pay. But a? for the others, tho attorney general threatens to enter suit and publish their liantes if they persist In ignoring the obli gation. -, A WOMAN IN THE NAVY. It has been suggested that a wo i man might IK- uppointed as a member of tho advisory hoard of "geniuses" for the United States navy. The Bal timore Star ls "disgusted" with the "sheer Impudence" of this suggestion, remarking: "If there ls one human activity In which women have taken IesB conspicuous part than they have in the Invention of recognized ma chines of war, lt does not como to mind." Aside from tho unnecessary vehem ence of the Star's comment, HB point may readily be allowed. Women have certainly shown no gift for Invent ing "machines" of war. And If it is objected that this ls simply be cnuBO they have never been interested In warfare, and don't want to Invent implements of mechanism of slaught er, tho antl-fcmlnlst editor might re tort that women have shown precious little Inclination to Invent any kind of machinery whatever. He might point out that even in the domain that has been women's peculiar baili wick from timo Immemorial,-the kit chen-uearly all the utensils have been Invented by men. Women undoubtedly have talent for adapting mechanical means to dom estic ends, when once their attention is definitely directed to Ute need of Improvement and they are once re conciled to the necessity of change. But it semes still to require men to provide the initial Ideas and Impetus, and even progressive women take a prodigious amount of stirring up be fore their minds are attuned to me chantes innovations. With all duo regard to this psycho logical fact, however, it may bo point ed out that it would be a mighty good thing to put a woman on the naval advisory board. There is plenty of work In Ute navy for a bright woman, quite apart from the creation of new contrivances of slaughter and defence. Particularly a woman's viewpoint ls needed to provide for Ute comfort ot tho men in the navy. The ordinary warship makes for too little provision for Bleeping quarters and recreation facilities. Everything ta for the guns and ammunition, and the care of the human beings who op erate them is an afterthought. This is a purely human problem, of thc sort for which women have real gen ius. The utilization of feminine intelli gence and insUnct in such matters ls in line with the larger housekeeping which clear thinkers recognize now adays as woman'a peculiar field In public life. It would be worth while to have women-the right women, of course-on every naval and military board, and to think about the MEN while their male collaborators are thinking about the MACHINES. In our imagination we can see an Anderson campaign crowd cheering General Villa's remark that it "th? United States government don't like me, lt can go to hell."-Spartanburgh Journal. Aa an evidence of a deep insight Into Anderson county charac ter lt cant be topped.-Sparthnburg Herald. "Anderson County Charac ter!" WelP for the tove ot Mike, where do you get license to talk about character. Wasn't it a Spartanburg audience that gave the mayor South Carolina's chief city such a "respectful" hearing when he at tempted to exercise the right ot free speech la the theatre there not' a hun dred years ago. And wasn't it a Spar tanburg mob that exerted such per feet "self control" und didn't (?) storm tho Juli when tlx- sheriff had in custody a negro charged with a i "-nen : crime?. And-well, we don't wish to rub lt in. A SI'BSTITl TE 101! LYNCHING. Two negroes were hanged In Starks vilh;, MIHH., the i>thcr day. The cir cumstances of their execution have bien made the ground ot some criti cism. The occasion seems to have been niaile the excuse for a community holi day. The gallows was sot up in a public place, in a ?ort of natural am phitheatre. A great crowd assembled ?.arly in th?; morning and remained all day. The local merchants had in creased the size ot the assemblage hy clever advertising, and benefited ac cordingly. It happens that a hot cam paign is in progress in Mississippi, and political candidates used the op portunity to address the throng from the scaffold. At noon G.OOfl picnick ers ate their luncheon around tho gal lows. The condemned negroes had been regaled, with cake and watermelon sent them by white cltfizcns. They marched to tho scaffold, llnuked by the sheriff and his deputies and two colored ministers. There was pray er. In which the prisoner* Join?!. Then a minister lined out the hymns. "There is a Land of I'uro |>ellght," and tho me beginning "Not Jordan's Stream nor death's cold flood could frighten from tho shore." and the while crowd joined in the singing, while the lemonade stands near by did a rushing business and a negro sold sandwiches beneath the scaffold One of the negroes confessed to his crime-killing a railroad porter-and implicated the other. Then the trap was sprung, the picnic ended and the thousands went quietly to their homes. Now. that may not be exactly nn Ideal way to execute murderers, at least from a northern or western standpoint. Certain elements of lt jar delicate sensibilities. And yet, to any ono who observed that on the same day two negroes were lynched In Sawenej, Okla., and another in Trilby, Fla., it may have occurred that perhaps Starksvllle, Mlas., has solved tho South's problem of deal lng with negro criminals. iStarksville made a picnic of its ex ecution; but-or maybe because of that veo* fact-it executed tho negroes legally. Whatever desire' lor crude mob vengeance existed was softened and satisfied. And after that experi ence, it will doubtless be long before that section of the South reverts to the old lynching method. A LINE DOPE Manager Pinksion stated yesterday that tho reason there was no vau deville on at tlie Palmetto this week was because he could not get the company he wanted and the others that the booking agency had to offer, were not up io his standard, so he thought. However, be stated that he would have vaudeville next week. -o-. Mr. J. L. Q-iiy. who was sa unfor tunate as to loee ono of his nrms J while working nt the asphalt plant recently, announces that he will open j a grocery store in the Brown build ling on Bast Whitner street. He [states that he will keep a good Uno of staple and fancy r'ocerlen in stock. -o If the concert last night at the An derson tl.entre cm be called tho open ing of the house for this season. Mr. Trowbridge ought to be proud. There was a goodly number present and the concert was a marked success from every ttandpolnt. - ? o The upper section of th? ?State ls noted for ita picnics and farmers' gatherings during tho month of Au gust and Auderson county always has her share. The year there seems to bo more than the usual number and the people aro taking greater interest in them. The Antrevillc picnic on tomorrow, although not in Anderson county will be attended by many people, from tho count/ just the same. Thia.picnic is always one of the biggest held In this section of the State and no doubt will bo better this year than ever. 3ood speakers are always on hand and the people listen to them and thereby de rive much benefit Mis* Carlington will assist Miss PUtt, the agent in Abbeville county, in a canning dem on; trallon there tomorrow, which will attract many. Besides the picnic stated above, there will ?he four other trig tether ing s la thia section (his week.
