For MT. Wilson life is Just one con
gratulation after another.
-o
- Carranca is a living exsmple of the
old adage that persistency wins.
Tbs kids at school might as well
close their geographies until the war
is over.
---o
Ven?zelos must be a descendant ot
tho Finnegan family-"off again, on
again, gone again."
?- o
It ls of no use to talk of swift
cruisers for tho navy unless congress
makes some , swift appropriations.
Our idea of preparedness ls to have
a continuous supply of 'possums and
a goodly vintage ot 'slmmon beer on
tap.
-o .
Wo aro told by Ute good book to
love our neighbors, but that was at
a timo when neighbors t|Ved a milo
or DO apart
All the world loves a lover, but Mr.
Wilson had earned ita'love before the
world know anything ot his little
heart affair.
-o--' ,
You needn't look blue because you
are not yourself this morning. It
might be a good idea to go on as you
aro and not feel bad about lt. .
_-o
The region around Charleston has
been claimed as the original Garden
of Eden, ar.,l the evidence In support
of lt is strengthened by Adam's Run.
? ? o
? Congress will soon begin to make
preparation?, ?or the country's defense
by appropriating millions' for navi
gable streams that' are too shallow to
float a canoe.
-o
. A fellow feeling makes one won
drous kind. Prerldent Wilson felt so
good over his winning a wife that he
went to New Jersey and voted tor wo
m*n suffrage.
. The key to the Greek patsie is the
wife of Constantine. She ls the sui
tor of the Kaiser, and she seems to
have added her country to the list of
suffrage states.

' Tho young lawyer Just starting out
may not have been burt by the war.
He probably had co eases before lt

couragement that he bas had none
since. -
Bl'UAL CBKIUT?
A workube ?vuierj of rural credit?
H recognized HH cie of thc greatest
leeds, for the protnollon and develop
uent of the agricultural interests of
his country. legislation either by
?tate or federal action, cr by both,
viii solve the laud question if lt is
ittempted by men whose sole object
b to benefit the landless man and not
o Indulge in gentle art of playing
willies.
The potential wealth of thc United
?tates can hardly bo measured In
nere dollars and cents, but we know
heir actual wealth in terms of what
h>-y produce, and we know, too, that
he aggregate values are but u small
mellon of what can be done under
he direction of men und women after
hey have been brought to a certain
legree ot efficiency as producers of
veulth.
.Millions of acres of land annually
lass through the shallow process of
jelng scratched for u living, often
with a yield that does not pay the
:ost of production, and in nearly all
:ases the tillers of such soil are
renters who have no Interest In the
and except to earn some sort cf liv
ng from it. Tho renter cannot be
slamed for the soil's infertility be
muse he is forced to live, unless he
tau a long term, as ono who has no
ontinulng interest in the land, ard
.an ill afford to spend money and
labor to build up the soil only tn
ose it when the time !B ripe for a
bountiful harvest.
The need of ? workable system of
rural credits tu the outh is partic
ularly urgent. If every white man
now renting land should eventually
be given the chance to buy it and
thus build up a permanent home for
himself and -family, our productive
wearth would econ he doubled sud
luadrupled, " ,
Should Oie lahdlesi man come at
last into possession of the land that
DUght to belong to him, it will do
more than any other,agency to BOIVO
the negro problem. ? The absorption
of the*land by whites ' as owners
would inevitably result ia a slow but
steady migration, of the man in black
to other states and other .climes, and
tlie process of his going ' would be
peaceful and orderly and not attend
ed by any violent disturbance to tho
farming'Interests that ha.t. been de
pending largely upon his labor.
The sentiment for better rural con
ditions is growing fast, and it will
not be many years before the prob
lem of the landless man ls solved
along Just and sensible lines. The
subject will come up st the approach
ing session of the South Carolina
legislature, lt ls understood, and it io
to be hoped that some practical plan
of relief can be agreed upon by the
lawmakers. The poor man will re
ceive the direct and immediate bene
fit, but erery Other infere*':, ?nd busi
ness will be helped as well, for whst
helps one man to become a more
stable and a larger producing citi
zen will help every othw man as well
so intricate and interwovevn are all
human efforts and activities.
UUOMTEBS
The boosting habit ls distinctly
American, lt b'.s developed into a
fine art or into a deadly disease, the
point of view depending on whether
some artistic manipulator who feeds
upon a diet of Esst wind has boosted
dollars into your purse or boosted
them out. If you have been victimis
ed, it is, of course, a disease to be
classed with typhus fever and the
bubonic plague If you have been the
beneficiary of the hot air man and
have had your name entered on the
honorary list ot income tax payers
as a result of his windjammlng, yet
cannot be blamed for swelling your
client and speaking of lt as the su
preme accomplishment in human art
and endeavor.
There is flo middle ground in the
art-or the disease-ot boosting. It
is either upward or downward. Per
haps P would be nearer the truth to
say that it is all upward-at first. A
skyrocket goes up. up. up. leaving a
trail of glory tn Us wake, but-it can
not manage to stay up very ong. The
brilliance fades, all at once, there ls
a spurt of blue stnoke, then the rocket
turns tall and comes scooting to earth,
leaving noting in memory ot Us
flight but a lingering and unpleasant
smell. *
The hurtful booster is a human sky
rocket. He goes, up io a^ blase of
glory and comes down with an ex
piring sigh like the gurpe of * bath
tub.- Hs apr togs up like the hopper
grass and ls cut down like the pep
per grass. He is a big man while
bo lasts, but when he Quits, lasting
he has about es many friends and ad
mirers aa as Armenian at tin court of
the sultan of Turkey.
The true booster ls like a lark-if
he refrains from gol::g on one. He
rises with a song on nfs tips, and
winn hu get? up bc stay? up an long
UK he wanta. When lie conies down, it
IH only for the purpose of giving fresh
courage to others before he takes an
other flight. He knows where to find
solid earth, and be keeps one good
ey?' on it while the other is looking
up into the blue sky of higher und
better achievement.
Cities are built ny boosters who
emulate the skylark type and not the
skyrocket example. Solid boosting is
the. modern architect and builder of
'a city that abides, but foolish boost
ing is n blast of wind that will cause
tho walls of any modern Terldio to
fall in ruins.
THF. .MAN WHO NEEDS IT MOST
A warehouso system conducted In
accordance with sound and simple
business methods by the state can
help a great deal in solving the dif
ilcult problem of marketing the cotton
crop and stabilizing Its price. There
is nothing fundamentally wrong about
Ih'j state going into any business on
its own account even where it comes
into competition with private enter
prise, provided that It succeeds in ?iv
ir,g che greatest good to the greatest
number.
To be really worth while as a factor
In controlling tho marketing of the
cotton crop, the system should bo put
into effect In every Southern state
whore cotton 1B prod iced on a large
scale. Uniformity of purpose and of
accomplishment is necessary to the
successful operation of any plan or
scheme for the public good, and it is
aboBlutcly cscntial to a warehouse
project If it is to amount to anything.
But warehouse system is not going to
be a vital force for the protection of
the farmer unless the small producer
is alvon the opportunity to share in
ita benefits. The bulk of the cotton
in the South is raised by tho small
farmer, who needs most of all the
practical help that should be available
for the proper handling and market
ing ot hts cotton, and no warehouse
system will be worth the cost and ex
pense of running lt unie- * the man
of small means ls taken under Its
wings and protected against condi
tions that work to his injury.
Farmer Smith of Cottonville, under
the operation of the warehouse sys
tem so far, has been very successful
tn borrowing money at a low rate of
Interest and pledging as security,
warehouse receipts covering his hun
dred or his ftvo hundred bales of cot
ton, but we know of no Instance where
bis leBs fortunate brother with one
b?l? or with ten bali J has been able
to get help from tho state to handle
his cotton to hts profit and protection.
The small average farmer ia the
man who needs most all the help and
protection the state can give him, and
until ,a warehouse system is devised
and put into operation mainly for his
benefit lt will accomplish but a small
part of ita true mission.

A visit waa mada to the county Jail
last night to see Feaster I. Jones, by
a representative of The Intelligencer,
but there was no use as far as gelling
an explanation of the shooting on
Saturday. Mr. Jones stated that he
had nothing to say, beyond what was
already stated, except that the people
were being mighty good to him and
that he appreciated bis many friends
calling on him. He stated that he
waa comfortably situated an;, that
friends had brought him plenty ot
magasines to read. "You might add,
too," stated Mr. Jones, "that I appre
ciate the fair way in which the two
papers have handled the affair. It
was straight and all right as far as
they knew."
The prisoner is now occupying the
double cell on the top floor of the
county jail, having been moved from
one he was in Saturday and Sunday
because of the cold. Mr. Williams,
the jailer, has been in Baltimore, and
the steam heating plant has not yet
been put Into operation.
Mr. Jones' attorneys stated last
night that they had nothing to say
shout what eft .U3 would be made to
get bond.

"1 do not think there has been
enough of frost In Anderson county to
do any damage," stated a prominent
business man yesterday. "I was in
the upper section of the county Sun
day afternoon and I saw very little
damage that lt had done. However, if
these nights keep getting s little
colder, we msy look out for s killing
frost before long."
Hearing this wtatsment another
? >'? ? ? ->
gentleman stated tbat be remembered
u few year? back when a killing frost
came on October 10, but said that this
was rather carly for thia section.

Mrs. Carrie Patrick will leave to
day for San Francisco, fal., where
she goes as a delegate to thc general
?. U. C. convention in that city. Airs.
Patrick was appointed ?tate delegate*
by the ?tute president, Miss Alice
Earle, who was unable to attend. This
ls a decided honor to Mrs. Patrick and
her many friends know that the state
president could not have made a bet
ter selection.

"Who's Who," That was the name
of the show at the Palmetto yester
day afternoon and night by the Twin
( tty Amusement company. This wa?
a real good tab show and was full of
fun and music, making quite -a hit
with the vaudeville patrons.
Miss Margaret DeVere, the leading
Indy, is splendid and mado a hit with
Mr. Herman Lewis In a daet. She ls
pretty and attractive and plays well,
furl Armstrong, as black face, lu as
good as has been seen, in Anderson
for some time. The chorus includes
six pretty girls, blondes and brunettes,
all who know their parts. It ls rather
unusual for a company In this circuit
to have as many in the chorus as the
one at the Palmetto this week and all
of the girls are very pleasing. The
costumes are beautiful, varied and
varlngiited.
o
A new brilliant electric sign has
recently been added to Anderson's al

A special meeting of the board of
trustees of the city, schools was held
yesterday afternoon to confider what
was to be done with the roof over tho
North Fant street school building.
This roof has been leaking badly of
late and something has to be done.
Mr. Casey, who went up and in
spected the roof stated that it could
be repaired so that* ll would laW??f
right to next summer. A committee
was appointed to lobk into the mat
ter and lt is probable that the''root
will be repaired tot Hi? present .$

Mr. Jim Williams haa returned from
Baltimore where he carried bis father,
Mr. T. S. Williams a little over three
weeks ago. Mr. Williams states that
his father ls getting, along nicely and
that the attending physicians think
(that lt will nto be necessary for him

be successful.

A movement was started in the
Baracoa class at the First Baptist
church Sunday school Sunday morn

of a window of Feat's Book store,
lighted up with Ever Heady ' flash
lights, the total exposure in toking
the picture being 25 minutes. The
