IIL'WH the U<-\l wi l ks, we suggest io nur n aili i s to tullow closely thc following sketch of conditions, pre parud by ihn Associated Press: Ireland lia? striven tor home rule \ without :t inomuiil'tj cessation everi since tb?j irish parliament was nb nlishud unil the l?gislative union or Great liri tain 31ml Ireland was pru < laii /i-d on jJknary I, isoi lu the 113 years that have passed since that d'ite, the agitation has noni- undev \a rloux lornis. pacific and violent.

These were Hucccdcn by Wu? Itedmonds and thc Healeys who are in the forefront of the "movement today Tim patriotic movement was sup pressed time after time hy coercive acts passed by thc Hritish Parliament, oiil> to take another lorin. The .Mol ly Maguires, the Voung irish party, the Land. Leanne band, the Nation al League, all were Irish political so cieties which had their day Thousands of Irish nationalists served terms of imprisonment for their participation in the fight for l?gislative Independence from Grc?:1 Britain. Hundreds were exiled, ninny or them protesting, to the United States. The parliamentary ri-^ht for home rub was waged for many decades and gave rise to extraordinary scenes in the usually staid British parliament, often brisging about th; expulsion of members ond the stoppage of busi ness, T'.e first .erfort o? the Hrltish gov ernment eft mo^t Ute demand Tor Irish Imme rufe waiomade by the late Wil liam Hwart Gladstone, when premier In 1886.

Since then several Irisli home rule bills have been introduced by liberal govertHiieuts and one passed the j house, hut was ..rejected by the house of loris.

The present agltatlou has been mainly brought about-by the-practl cal certainty of Premier Asquith's Irish home rule bill becoming a lav without the consent of the house of lords. Sir Edward Carson is at the head of the agitation against hoi. c rule muong the unionists of Ulster. He and several other leading men took the initiative in organizing an ar my of Ulster volunteers to resist the idi.-uiificM.iion ot' home rilli for Ireland -in its entirety< They insist that Ulster should be left out of the operation. The chief point in Ireland is the re ligious one. Ont of a total population o? about 4,500,000 approximately 500, 000 are protestants of Varlohs deno minations. Most of them arc found in tile tour Ulster counties of I.ondon deryy, Antrim, Armagh and Down. The other five counties of Ulster are pr?dominent ly Catholic. There is a considerable difference liri ween tba people of the eastern part of Uster an dtose bf the rest of Ire land. Many of the Olsterltes are des cendants of the English settlers sent there by Cromwell to foster the agri culture und industries of Ireland af ter he had subdued the country,. Ol hers are descendants of Scottish covenanters. Not alf the protestants of I rebind Are ara inst home rule. Par nell himself was a protestant. A MUIRSON COLLEGE' (fur raith In Anderson College ls stronger toduy thun ever. This ls an Institution with a destiny. The weak ness of one human will under so much outside pressure assures us that the mission of this college ls bet ter understood in some quarters than we had thought, and that the devel opinent of this institution must 1> ? a matter of concern to some. The bushels or letters that have poured in since .lt was announced that the General Education board of the United Slates was trying to get Prof Hand back into the field work have been so overwhelming in their ap peals that Anderson Co Ile gc has' re leased him from, the contract made upon ttie tertns suggested by Mr. Hand." We now ?ey. ibat tho deaflny'of An derson College ls not understood by the people ot thia state or they would not have'done this wrotfg to a noble institution. The ttleld ".nd the future of this college ls gre* cr than the work In wbieh Mr, Hand ls engaged, for it is organised and can take care of itself Tbe,nflpPle..fcn?e seen only one side ot this , ?satten Thai elate at large bas been led, no doubt, to look upon Anderson College as a mer* collegl atc Institution. Dui in all solemnity we say io the people of the ?t?te that Anderson College is coming, and coming fust. This coll?ge, founded by pluck) people, is looking fur ahead. Tile day will rome when South Carolina will know Anderson fol loge in a better and closer way. and the people of the whole state will bc proud of the men and women who founded ?I, and proud of tin' men, who ns trustees have Larked il UH' private for'.-mis n;.-1 (heir personal honor, lo become a magip'fc.ent at of learning. A ?Ui MAN Some folks know thc real reason of thu Bouw. li is Indeed unusual for a snow storm on March 21, which is the occasion of the vernal equinox, the time fixed In the almanacs for the beginning of spring. Bul the real cause of thc disturbance is to pre vent K. M Burnett, secretary of the V. M. c. A from being sligted. This winier Mr. Burnett has brought to And? ?. a number of big men and speakers of power, and it seems that every time he has had bad weather to test the endur.'. !?.>. and tin gril ami to ?how the c irno-.tness of n e peoph?. Ti e y have ?circ 'through every lime. This will he no except tion today. The court house will bc filled to overflowing this afternoon with a crowd of men eager to hear tho great speaker who conies from Hie mountains of Western North Ca roi Ina, one greater than Vance in a way, though he ls not Zeb Vance Come out. men. and hear Jeter C. Pritchard, thc boy who was so poor that he never knew what are any of th?; little pleasures of a child's life Hut he is a bi? man today. WO UK Ft) KTHEM We wish to he understood fully in our attitude toward the reunion. We have been accused of what ls tanta mount to boorishness-in referring to certain invited guests with a degree of lack of consideration. We would not deny the sons of veterans of the state any of tile hospitality which is (heirs by the right of having accepted the Invitation to Anderson. But wt?f insist that the Sons of Veterans, tluf< organization, should show some ex cuse for existence. The camp here in Anderson which is to meet Monday morning is one ol few that has ever done, anything tot\ thc old soldiers. There Ls a great and splendid work for the sons of veterans to do. Ijei them realize it' and get to lt. There ls hlBtory tb be Written, history to be preserved, i And when the reunion comes here, let's have srr^?thlng for the sons and daughters to do. Let? each old soldier in tho parade-and mukc it a short march-have cn thc one side a glori ous young woman of the south to tell him that in the yearB to come his devotion to the Btarry.cross wll not he forgot; and or the otb sr side lot li im leun upon the supporting arm of one of the sons of veterans who will give a pledge that so long as the sun warms this southland of ours love for tile Confederate soldier will never lan guish in thc hearts of thu youth. STAND BY THE SCHOOLS .This week lias tn store a big oc casion for Anderson-the meeting of j the schools of the county. Superin tendent Sw?aringen has recently paid some very high compliments to the schools of this couut;, und the schools aro the life of the country- .We hope the people of thc city of Anderson will take a great deal of in trest in this] gathering tills week and will give by j tbe'r personal atendance every en couragment to the groat work that ls j being carried on. ; DR; R. W. -BURTS In publishing the card of* Kev. Dr. Hurts of ( .--lumbla today we wish to say that we did not Bee in the com munication referred to any reflec tion upon Dr. Burts.

We wish to shake* h?nds with our| correspondent from Hames station who comments upon a recent letter I 'rom an Anderson county'teacher.. It ivas our intention to comment upon I the letter ?ro?? the. teacher at. tho time that lt .speared, but wo did not have ni*, opportunity. Oar correspondent from Barnes bas expressed our 'Idea ??eily. .'. The people pay taxes to maintain thc^ teachers' colleges at tho University met at Winthrop "although as a mat ,ir of fact we would prefer some of he teachers from the denominational collegia, for the teacher ia "born and not made. The people support the teachers after they leave the colleges. Are tbese teachers to'be mere autom atons to sit in das? room and receive j written lessons and to pile up tho] purchase of copy booka and "litera ture" mid other nonsenttleat We em ploy that word because thetft^ booka j THE STORE WITH Beautiful New Home .

" Let us back to the days of compulsory teaching, wlien thc par tint did not have to do all of the work and ihun have tome tuisilt ol' a teacher spoil it all. When it comes to the school methods or these days .we are pessimistic. We believe in compulsory attend ance Upon schools hut at the Bamc time we believe in compulsory teaching. We believe that the person who asks for and receives a job as teacher lias a high responsibility and should at all times measure up to it. The standards for teachers should be raised and the pay raised accordingly. Wc believe that hooks should not be changed with such frequency. Schools are to impart principles not to instruct in fads. . - - - - ^ > A GOOD i OIU'ORATION We have been struck with the fact that corporations muy Uc good or bad according to environment. For in stance ?n one section the Southern Kailway company might be consider ed a monopoly and working against the Interests of the people. In an other section is might be a protector of the people by entering a territory that had been pre-emptled by some other corporation. Just so with tlie Seaboard. This road was projected by John Skelton Williams with the idea in view of de veloping thc south and of competing willi other lines of railway. Just see what lt ha? done for the south,! What would Columbia be today if lt bad uot been for the coming of that groat line qf the people. ' The Sea board not only Spent upwards of a mil iion dbi lar? to get1 Into the city of Coiumbia, but caused the Southern to build a new line to make Florida cnn nections. The help that Columbia re-i eel ved from tim "Seaboard cac never be computed. Since thai time tlie Seabkmril has ballt lo H?rtevUle. Darlington, Flor ence, Sumter Renettsviile.
