Com. Louis C. Richardson, now of the United States navy yard at New York, where w? understand he is engaged In the making of the largest Diesel en gine in use or under clnstructlon in the world. This-will be an engine that burns oil for fuel, and will cost a quarter of a million dollars. The compliment paid Commander Richardson is in bis being selected to preside over thc annual banquet of the American Society of Naval Engin eers to be held in the Army and N'avv Club in Washington on the 25th of April. Commander Richardson Is one of the brainiest and most popular men in the service and there are big things in store for him in the navy. He is the son of old Lebanon and tbe people of Anderson all honor this gifted and stalwart young naval officer who in his briui career has already had many honors bestowed upon bim.

There are some kickers in this town that can't be beat. One man went Into the office of the Southern Utilities Company to pay his light bill. Thc company had put on a new rate, under the new contact with the city for fivei years. "is thin any different from i last month," the consumer asked. 'Yes, it is just 25 cent? lower," he was told by Archie Cathcart, who so ur banely lets people give him money. 'I don't want lt," the customer replied 'I don't want it at all. I want the aid rate." "But we can't change the Did rate" replied Mr. Cetbcaret. The man took un his quarter and went sut grumbling about a city that would make a contract that would save him 25 cents a month on his lights. Charles E. Cobb, the man who "set" ac?tyl?ne in Anderson county, is in Waterloo, Iowa, visiting the head quarters ot his company which he so ably represents in the south. He wishes to have The Intellgencer come to him for thirty days. "A paper from Anderson certainly looks good," he says, " I actually read it through' before I read my mall." May 28 is the date for the beginning of the Confederate Veterans' Reunion In Anderson and the discovery was made that this is tbe anniversary of the wounding of Gea. C. A.

NEW LINK SPLENDID SERVICE Officials Say That First Day's Business on Extension Was Satisfactory After montliB of weary walting on the part of Spartanburg people and great anticipation on tine part of An derson and Greenville people and these people of the state having occa sion to tavel between Spartanburg, Greenville, Greenwood and Anderson, the connecting link of the Piedmont & Northern lines hetween Spartan burg and Greenville was yesterday put into operation. For some time thj? line between Greenville and Greer 12 miles of the Spartanburg route, bas been in use. It had been hoped that the last link could be opened a fortnight ago and plans bad been made with that end in view but on account of the weather conditions which had prevailed the work was delayed *.nd it was impossible to inaugurate the ser-' vice at that time. However, the line was yesterday opened up for trafile and throughout the day dozens of pas sengers were discharged in Spartan burg from the Piedmont & Northern cara, equally as large number or vis itors came to Anderson during the day making the trip here entirely over the interurban lines from Spartanburg. Officials here of the interurban line told The Intelligencer last night that the first day's business on-the new ltnk had been decidedly satisfactory In ev ery respect and tbat they had sold fully as many tickets as they had anti cipated. According to them the trav el on the new division was even heav ier than had at first been expected. Anderson people are gratified over the fact that the cars running from this city are through cars and will go direct from Anderson to Spartanburg, the same applying to the incoming cars. There will be nine trains each way dally and this means that every train arriving in Anderson over the Piedmont & Northern Lines, with one exception, will come from Spartanburg and except for one train every train Icavhig this city will make the through trip to Spartanburg. Concerning the opening of the new link between Greenville and Spartan burg the Greenville News had the fol-' lowing to say yesterday: "After seversl years of 'Inter urbans on paper" there ls now a real interurban line connecting Greenville sud Spartanburg. This line will be opened for the public today. . It - marks the completion cf one section cf the Piedmont & Northern l'nes,. thb? section extending to Greenwood on the sooth and Spartanburg on the north. It traverses one of the finest territories in tho southeast. More than a year and a'half ago the contracts for grad ing between Spartanburg and Green ville were let and since that time the work has gone steadily on, with but few interruptions. "The trial trip was made yesterday, when a car left here at 11:40 a. m., for Spartanburg. Supt. W. C. Murphy and General Passenger Agent C. S. Al len were on this car. "The regular passenger schedule will begin today. There are nine trains each way dally. This schedule will probably be changed before long bi order that a P. * N. car may make close connection witto the Carolina Special at Spartanburg. This fine train on the Southern Raves Spartan burg for. Charleston at 1:45 p. m. The interurban under the present schedule has a car arriving at Spartanburg at the same time. The schedule of this car may be run up slightly in order that a close connection may be made. "When this ls done the trip from Green ville to Chsrleston wm be appreciably shortened as to time."

Now that Mr. Duke and his ?ssoclates have mapped out a plan for warehousing cotton, Mr. McLaurin has again been asked If he will make the race. His answer is found in the following let ter to Capt.

After this Mrs. Rufus Pant made the following Interesting report of the work'done by t,,e asso ciation In the past ten years. Organisation. "Ten years ago today, a few ladles met at the city hall and organized the Civic Association of Anderson. We were one of the pioneer civic clubs of South Carolina.

"As we glance backward and re member that even tras** '..?ns were not used In our city by our merchant? un til we asked city council to pass sn ordinance compelling the merchants to use these cans and then a commit tee was appointed to purchase cans and the civic association agreed to pay for them. "We are glad that we started up the work. In this connection, I might say that the city soon saw how ben eficial it was to have trash cans andi would not allow the civic .league toi pay for them.

"The court square wss another un sightly place when we decided tbst, we would beautify that spot.

We h a Ve well nigh ?olved the problem of production, and if wp will market our cotton prop erty so os to cut out so many middle men, the cotton of the BOUth will make us the richest peoplo in tho world. What we need ls prosperity, not compulsory school laws. I saw a statement in a Texas paper of a farmer who paced a letter In a hole of cotton requesting the manu facturer to write him what he paid for it. After some time he received a letter from the president of a mill in Ge -man, saying that he had paid 19 cc li a pound, and would manufac ture mu) a certain class of goods, which would sell for about $1,000. Thc Texas man received ll cents for the cotton amounting to 140.00 pe? bale. There was a set of middlemen who absorbed almost as much for handling the cotton as the farmer got for growing it. It seems to mc that the greatest and wisest statesmanship of the country should be devoted to the solution of this problem, then ev erything else will follow. I look for ward to the time when not only will we gel tim $40.00 per bale, but when American labor will get Its share of that $1,000 for the manufacture of thc raw material. What a country we will have then. Anderson and tho other Piedmont counties of North and%Sout li Carolina with Georgia, have the wa ter power to manufacture all of tho cotton crop.
