If Dr. Dumba was "tho* ablest dip lomat tn -Washington," au he's been called, let's pray that Europe will send us a few mediocre diplomats content to be social ornaments of tho capital. "Watch Your Step," saya the Green ville News. Yep, Bro, Derlens, knows What's liable to happen to a gink who, under certain circumstances, or '.he influence of certain brands, doesn" Watch bia step. John D. Rockefeller, when urged to I comment on the'Allies' war loan, re-1 (plled in verse, as tallows: . "A wi"e old owl lived in an oak. The more be saw, the less be spoke; Thc less hs spoke, the more ha heard. Why can't we all bs Uko that bird?"j Oh, wVil, we. can't all bo Bockefel-| lera. matai M OTIW WITH US. It IH somewhat surprising to learn that the food situation In Belgium ls worse than it was last year, when j (lermany first cut off the nation's food supply. Tl so utmost efforts of the relief commission and thu utmost generosity of the outside world will bo required ot heep the nation from starving next winter. ' Tho problem becomes more dlf llcult every day," says the chairman of tho commission. "Tho number of destitute has Increased from 1,000, 000 lost October to 2,750.000 In June, und now grows at the rate of 200,000 u month. And our resources, large as they ure, can not keep pace with the need if the charitable public loses interest in our work." It ls surprising, too, to hear that out of tho $50,000,000 spent for the first eight months of thc commission's work, tbs people of tho United ?States only contributed $'i,000.000 in monoy a/yi food supplies. This, to bo Bure, is a large amount, perhaps thc larg-! est ever given by one nation for any j philanthropic purpose. Still lt is smalt In comparison wltu tho ability j of the American people to give. There nre 100,000.0000 of UB now, and mos* of UH aro either aptuully prosperous ! or In circumstances which are en-1 viable compared with those of any European nat lou. "Tho continued support of Ameri cu." soys Chairman Hoover, "is neces sary,, too, to provide the commission with tho moral prestige it now pos sesses In thc sight of the warring ?powers." That Bupport, both in monoy and in sentiment, should bo as gen erous now ss it was mst fall. SACRIFICING'CITIZENSHIP. I-".', all very find for an adventurous American to go over and join some nrmy or other--particularly tho French nrmy, whoso "foreign legion" has al ways exorcised a fascination for Americans. But many of the men now going HO lightly to the war will bo surprised and chagrinncd when they return-if they rcturu-to find that they're no longer American citi zens, but ordinary immigrants. Tho federal, bureau of naturaliza tion has raided that"aiijr citizen who join's a European army, and thus takes the oath of allegiance to a for eign power, as all such volunteers ore .'obliged to do, automatically IOBOB his citizenship under the law of March 2, ,1907, wtjoee .validity has boon upheld in a recent test case. It had ni ready been announced that under (this, law naturalized citizens, or cltlzons with only their first papers, 1 who went back to their native lands to fight, would j find themselves in their original alien status when they .oturncd to the Vnlted States. It had j not occurred to many Americans, how ever, that a native born citizen would, by tho samo process, find himself 1 without a voto and obliged to take out naturalisation papers like any raw immigrant The knowledge of that fact will doubtless deter many mili tary-minded young men from taking the plunge. STAN OA KI? OIL REFORM. Tho/ Standard Oil Company seems td-hate seen a nsw light. There are evidences that ita labor policy is changing for the better. Tho com panys factory In Bayonne, N. J., wh*erovth?re was- recently a short but bloody strike, has raised wages and grunted 1An eight-hour 1 day-and tan after'the strikers had godo back to work at the old scale. Moreover, vhe board of directors. Who bad never before given much in dication of Interest in the welfare of their employees, announced that It was "the policy ot this company to keep Its wages and working condi tions equal to or in advance of the wages and working conditions of other men doing a similar class of work." A report of the federal industrial commission hsd shown thst the Stand ard Oil company-oald lower wages than rival companies flor the samo class of work, besides refusing stead fastly tc have anything to do with employees as organizations. Work men were killed, too, In that Bayonne strike,' apparently s>h?t down without provocation. The situation was not so bsd as In Colorado, but the elemen tary factors were much the same. Perhaps the widespread criticism ot Ute Rockefellers and their business subordinates, inspired by the Colo rado and New Jersey struggles. Is hav ing Its effect. The yoong Rockefeller particularly has shown evidence of aa awakening . appreciation . of . the wrongs of large classes of workmen, and a desire to Improve thurn. A WOMAN-MADE WORLD I Mrs. Belmont, chairman ot the wo men voters* convention in ?San Fran cisco, ndylsed ^"T^ikkfa'*T n0 **~ liances with "any existing man's pol itical party"-which was good advice -and then proceeded wij.li thin dubious proposition: "Thu union of this sisterhood ot wo men voters is the power politically of the near future. For twenty centuries you havo been led to believe your work was to patch up the evils ger minated by man's so-called civiliza tion. It is time for us women to have a civilization of our own." ts it at all likely that a purely woman-made civilization would bc any better than the present makeshift which Is so contemptuously refe:red to ns "man-made?" Certainly lt would he superior in some important re spects, where mnn'r, prejudice or Ig norance or neglect has blockaded hu man progress. But when it comes to organizing one sex into a political party whose progrum ls to re-make the world in disregard of the other sex's needs or wishes, not only every sensible man but every sensible wo man must see the folly of lt. Even if tho thing could be done-and of course it can't-it would mean disas ter. No sex, not even tho feminine, can re-mold the world and perfect human society. It takes both. These extreme feminists had better turn back to Tennyson, who was a wisc man as well as a poet, and who made "Tho Princess" say, half a cen tury before thia feminist movement broke out: "Henceforth thou hast a helper, me, | that Imo . The woman's causo ls man's; they j rise or sink Together, dwarfed or godlike, bond] or free. Yet in the long years liker must| they grow; The man bo more of woman, she of j man; He gain in sweetness and in moral ] height. Nor IOHO the wrestling the wa that| throw tho world; She men.al breadth, nor fall In child ward care, Nor lose the childlike in the larger | mind; Till at the last sho set herself to ma: Like uoblo music unto noble words, ''.'hon comes tho statelier Eden back] to men; Then, springs the crowning race of| humankind." If women are to have the franchise] universally, let us havo no men's par ties and no women's parties, nor any [petty bargaining by .male .and female j j? factions, bot-' auch - a? noble co-opera tion as Tennyson portrays, In the big, | complex task of bettering the world. "Weather Forecast:-Fair Saturday | and probably Sunday. ' ' , - o Dr. J. Levis Sanders, one of the most J popular dentists of Anderson is to spend two months doing special work in Charleston and New York and will leave for the ' first named city some time during the early part of next week. Dr. Sanders states that after being in Charleston for several days he will go to New York and will re turn, to Anderson about December 1. In Dr. Sandor's absence his brother, Dr. -Mack (Sanders, a graduate of the | Baue collego as the former, TJnivsr-' slty ot Maryland! and wbp\has boen practicing' in tho same office for the past two years, will have charge ot Dr. Levis Sanders' work. Dr. and Mrs!. Banders'are breaking up housekeeping for the present and are storing their furniture. M ra. Sanders will be with Mrs. J. B.

Mr. and Mrs. Bland and" family came to Anderson from Cin cinnati, O.. and state that they ara] well pleased with this cKy. --o There came very near being trouble at the Equinox mill on Thursday nigh*, when a little girl waa struck on the arm by a rock thrown by a negro boy. Deputy Sheriff Sanders went over to the mill and was told that while passing along the street teres little negro boya, ages from 10 to 14, were throwing stones sad that one of Unese had struck tbs little girl. The negroes were arrested and placed in jail. Yesterday morning lite father of the little girl stated that be would be satisfied if tb? negroes were given a severe beating by their parents. The parents were 6ecn and this was done in tho jail yard yesterday. -o Manager Pinkston stated yesterday that the attendance at the Bijou theatre was growing and that he was well pleased with thu interest that we being taken in the "Broken Coln," thc serial picture that is being shown, (.harlie Chaplin was at the Bijou yes terday in four reels and the house was crowded all during the after noon and night. o Moore-Wilson's store will bo a very sweet place today since the Ladles Aid society of the First Presbyterian church is *o have a cake sale.

ThlB situation has grown out of a dispute between tho state of Georgia and the power company as to the lo cation of the boundary line between the state of Georgia and South Caro lina. Although the Gregg Shoals com pany is owned by the concern In At lanta, it ls leased to a concern in South Carolina, and its transmission lines run from the plant in E'bert county across tho Savannah Rive,* on into Anderson. The brick paving on South Main street is progressing very nicely and yesterday shortly before noon the "grouting" of the brick was started This grouting consists of cementing tito brick together after they hove been placed on the sand cushion and a five ton steam roller run over them All defective brick found by the using of tho steam roller were removed be fore tho grouting began. -Q Tho quarry near Wllllomston from which tho paying company gets ita crushed stone, ia still at a standstill and therefore the paving work ls be ing somewhat delayed.

Editor Intelligencer: I left Anderson tills morning about 10:30 o'clock and at 11:30 was on the streets of Hartwell, Oa. I went directly to tho cotton warehouse to investigate the prlco of cotton. I saw on the yards, quite a number of wagons from South Carolina loaded with cotton. They wore paying ll 1-4 cents for every bale on too yards, taking any and all in sight at that price. About noon or 12:20 o'clock the market came in at an advanced pr i oe. Before I loft they began pay ing ll 3-8 cents.. In the presence ot a .number of mop a Hartwell cotton buyer told me. to my. face that I had come over there for tho purpose ot breaking up thc Hartwell market by forcing the market at Anderson to meet their prices for cotton. My three daughters and I took din ner at the (hotel at Hartwell and 1 don't think I ever ate a better meal in my life. After dinner 1 - left for Lavonla, making the 14 miles In about 25 minutes. The roads are magnifiaient, regular race courses, but no better than the class of roads Mack King ls now constructing In Anderson county. I found the square at Lavonla full ot cotton wa gons. I stopped several wagons on the road and I have the weights of their cotton and bills of sale in my pocket. One bale was sold for ll 11-16 cents and another for ll 1-2 cent?. They also gave me tholr seed bills. Cotton seed aro palling for $30 per ton at Hartwell and Lavonla. a In fae early morning at livonia cotton sold for 11:26 and 11:30, but after noon they began to bid 11:40 and 11:50 for it. 1 was offered for 100 bales ot cotton, or any part of that number, def ive red at Lavonla any tune next week, the price of ll 1-2 cents per pound. If any farmer in Anderson county wants to avail .him self of this price let him call at my office tomorrow (Saturday.) Approx imately '300.' biles were sold at Lavonla today and 100 bales, or one third, waa South Carolina cotton. I left, Lavonla at 3:30 o'clock and I must have passed 30 or 40 cotton wagons from, the South Carolina side that bad been over to Lavonla to eell cotton. It reminded me of old times In Anderson before tho mill? were built, when Blecktey, Brown ft Fret well, B. F. Cray ton ft Sons. N. B. and J. P. Sullivan and McCully and Taylor dominated thu cotton market. At that tims Anderson waa the very best cotton market in upper South Carolina. A prominent cotton buyer in Hart well; one wno buys more cotton than anyone else on that market, told me thia morning that he thought ?he milla were a carse to any town, and a prominent Lavonla buyer said it look ed to him aa if the mills has us cornered on the- cotton market nt Anderson. We farmers In Anderson county helpedt to build the mills wHsh on? idea and that ts hast the mills would (he a great advantage te us In th? marketing o? cotton. Thia was th? argument used in -soliciting Stock subscriptions. We find thal wherever the milla are located lr larg? numbera Ute cotton market it from 25 to 60 points under the gen eral market where fcK'/re are no mills. Th? reason of this is that the milli control the market, and it ls not ilk? lt uaed to be when Q. H. McFadden Inman Sloan lt Co., Woodward S Stillman and a host of others bough) cotton here on our market. I notice in your paper there aeemi to be some feeling in the city witt reference to my using your columns. This should not be the case, as I an working in the interests ot our far mere and I expect to keep lt up ai long as 1 liv?. As bas been well said tho farmer is the backhone of thc counliy. If ho prospers everybody else prospers; and if he is hard put -everybody feels the effect of it. I bave no feeling in tho matter myself nor am I trying in any way to reap any rewards either directly or indi rectly. As I have said previously, t?ie.only solution is for we farmers to organize, and do so at once, for our own protection. I wish every farmer who owns an automobile and who sees my com-1 municatlon Sature ..y morning would get In his car and drive oVer toT'La-| vonla and Hartwell and see Uio sit uation for himself, so ho will know J>cU.er how to act. At Lavonia Sat urday ho will sec probably 0*00 bales of cptton sold ano it will be a sight that ho wlil never forgot. The roads are in splendid shape and ono can go I to I ja von la via Knox's brid go and { come back by Hartwell or vice-versa. Tho trip is a splendid one, and I /.ope j every interested farmer will make it ? today without foll. Yours truly, J. J. Frotweli. Sept. 24th, 1915. ? * ? FURMAN UNIVERSITY + ? * Greenville. S. C.

London, Aug. 31.-(Associated Press Correspondence. )-Pleas for better payment for midshipmen ap pear frequently in the English news I papers, for it is objected that a lad I exposing his life to tho enemy and ! doing.his duty on ship like any other j officer is not even self-supporting. In England, the navfal cadets, taken I at about the age .of 13 years, are plac ed ia thia Ptoyal Naval College nt'Os borne,* where they spend two yearn. At the, end of thu) period, If success ful in their examinations, they are promoted to tba-.-Royal; Naval college at Dartmouth for. advanced . instruc tion. On leaving Dartmouth after two years of study, they pass six months on a training ship. Then they aro ; drafted to 'varions' warships as mid shipmen.,.. Thu?? tho , midshipmen of 17 or 18 lias had. four and a half years of study and discipline behind him, which fits him for duty as a junior officer. During tho four'years in the naval schools, the cadet's (parents pay tui tion fees of $376 a year, which, with uniforms and extras amounts, to about $700. On hoing promoted to midship man's rank, the cadet receives ls.Od, or 42 cents a day, while his parents or guardians have the prospect before them of paying $230 a year for mesa hills to the accountant general of tho navy. A midshipman must serve nearly three years before getting a commission as sub-He u ten un t. Up to the present, naval casualty lists show that midshipmen have been Marder hit than any other rank. Yet for serving their country, they have to pay, on t*~ . basis of 900 holding chis rank, $2.5,000 a year to tho gov ernment. ; [".'Only.'sohs'of welfto^do people ar? supposed to enter the navy, but in comes hnvo heel ? hard h lt'by the war and the extra tax ls In many cases severely felt, i The British Soldlor draws 25 cents a day with: uniform, kit. an dfood g^ven. him. .
