HISPKND JI W?WKNT
In llio columns of u newspaper la
nol Hie place to try a case that may
require the judicial reference, but
there are In the -tungie over tho sup
plying of water to tile city schools
some features that are not solely for
tie court, in fact it appears that
there ls some sinister and subtle In
finitif e at work in tills matter
that the school board is without
knowledge being used to ruke thc
chestnuts out of the fire.
There; uppears to he a determined
effort to discredit tho Southern Public
I'tilities Company hy having lt as
sume an aggressive attitude that
wou'd make it offensive to the people
of Anderson. A careful reading of
the letter of Prest. 'A. V. Taylor pub
lished In these columns some dayj
ago shows that he appealed to the
school trustees (o protect his com
pany, as certain mlslending state
ments had emanated as coming from
the hoard and had not been denied In
the same manner.
Mr. Taylor asked for a_ construc
tive case to be made, stating ?c^early
that he tljd not wish tq .cut, off the
water from (he schools. Tho school
board has not accepted the Invitation
to teat the matter in the courts. In
fact the hoard says that it not at
tacking in tho rights bf thc cbriipany,
but morely queutions tho authority of
the company to rbarge the schools for
water.
In the controversy, which the com
pany has not sought, thc public in
Anderson should bear in mind a few
things on th? equity side of ima prop
osition.
One of them is that, proceeding un
der a contract given by the city of
Anderson, a large sum of money has
already been expended converting the
Portman Shoals plaut into conformi
ty with the rest of the power furnish
ed by the Southern Public I'tilities
Company.
Another fact ?0 that inc ?ouiborn
Public Utiltles company has ordered
the pipe and ls preparing to lay the
mains to give Anderson the service
that would have been used now but
for the delay In arriving at a settle
ment ot the tprms of tho new contract.
There has been some covert Insin
uation that the "White way" was fost
ered by the Public Utilities company?
when the fact is that ?h?re will be an
Immediate* expenditure ot ?10,000 by
the company to givo this to the city.
The company has an able attorney
who will look .after its intered, in
court, and upon ttiat matter 'we*have
no comm?nt to make, but .we db .warn'
the public not to censure the/cbmpany
for standing up,tor its'rights WheaAWs,
matter haa been, p^lfe^ on.ft, and we
recommend ttp> inst judgment of the
communsty' to seek out the cause of
I this whole tempest in a teapot.
' it any of the citizens of the comm?,
nity wish to test the validity of the
contract granted by city council, v,Lj
did they not as Individu?is refuse to
pay the light and water bills under
the new contract, a contract by the
way, which ls reducing the cost of
these commodities! Why was the
school board brought into this mil
ter?
If there ls, as there appears to be,
a direct effort being made to discredit
and make unpopular this public ser
vice company, the pcoplo should look
for the deep, underlying cause. And
saying this we do not criticise the
school board, for there ls every prob
ability that the board is not impelled
by any such motives, but wishes
merely to be on the safe side under
its own responsibilities.
The Public Servlco company has
been so much abused by loose ton
gues tbat lt appeals for a day in
court? Shall it be given?
NOT OUt KIND OF JOKE
Last Thursday night thia office wan
called on the 'phone to receive the
Hst of doiegates from Rock Mills
township to tho county convention.
The notes taken at that time of course,
have not boon preserved, for we had
no Idea of any joke being played on
anyone. We do not know what the
circumstances are, except that there
waa not present last Saturday a quo
rum of the members of the club, and
an adjourned meeting was held or to
be held Thursday.
We are not Informed of the true In
wardness ot the matter, but wish to
say to Mr ? T.. o. Shaw tnat we
would under, no circumstances have
permitted at.y one to'have used this
paper to make ?port of him, and we
wiab to ?i? tr, yrvimeni os the ?
?club, Mr. 8. A. Burns that we regret
Ilt if some one played a practical Joke
on this paper.

MU JOB ON fl AM?
Anderson1 has lnv!t?><! hore tho an
nual reunion of thc Con re ret?ate Vet
erans of the r?tate. Anderson has a
splendid reputation for hospitality
throughout ti?; country ana there ls
much to be done to make thia groat
occasion a success. We muBt do
everything io mako th? old soldiers
happy.
What U? more lovely than to soe the
Mttl? ones attending upon tho Vener
' '?? Why Bhould not the children
Anderson have a part In making a
success of'this reunion? There have
been reunlods In this ?tate which
have been made memorable because
of the children. We call upon tho
teachers of the city of Anderson and
of Anderson county to lend their aid.
There should be nn organization of
"Boy Scouts," to soe that the old sol
diers are taken good care of, that they
are waited upon and. made to tocl that
we love them and love the "cause" for
which they offered their lives. Will
not some military person organize the
boys of Anderson Into a company to
day, ready to work and to give their
time to mnklng others happy?. It
would be a trcmndous asset for An
derson to have our boys organized In
to something. If too late to become
Wonts, they might have merely a local
organization. Such a step would ac
custom our boys to discipline, would
make them even more manly and self
reliant, and would cultivate that
greatest of all graces, unselfishness.
The most beautiful reunion feature
In recent years In this state was by
the children of Columbia. Clad in
snowy dresses with red sashes and
red hair ribbons, the colors of the
Confederacy, they strewed flowers be
strain their tears when memory car
ried them back to thc rugged, rocky
hills they had climbed, shoeless, in
the face of a rain of lead of death,
and when they assembled at the place
of meeting these same little ones
caused the old fellows' cup of joy to
brim all over when they sang the airs
which made many a charge go down
into h??to'*v hfl PTnon?* the most Ysiisni
of all the deeds of the wars of the
world.
Give our good women and happy
children a part in the reunion and it
will be known as the happiest occa
sion of thc kind in the history .ot the
State.

BEHAVIOB OF AUDIENCES
. -ff.
'Tho haaaV*nr or the'-1 audiences at
the prautauqua has been remarkably
aUfiitlye, ' While there. Wero probably
,1/00 tititomobllea in and- around the
big tent Friday night, there was very
little noise from that source: The
ChauteU'iuana appreciate it. Hr.
Dickey, tho superintendent, says he
had positive proof that the Anderson
audiences are patient and consid?r
ate-b?i ?e w?l not tell that joke on
nun.
Sometimes when we see a great au
dience gathered we are reminded of
a beautiful Incident in the career of
that g\^at-heartcd christian gentle
man and wonderful evangelist, thc
late Tt. C. Pearson. In a certain
town in this state he was preaching
under a tent, and great congregations
were attending, among them being
many persons from the country. One
day a little One began crying. Sev
eral persons in the audience showed
great displeasure and nervousness:
In tho midst of a telling appeal the
inspired, little man stopped and said
"Frlends, this poor mother may have
come milts to hear the word- ot God.
She had no one with whom td leave
tita little one: She may have few
chances,to hear the gospel preached.
Do not. cause her to leave. I. am Ute
ono who should he disturbed, and it
does not Worry me half as much as
If thls\good woman does not get to
hear the sermon. God bless the little
one."
He stretched forth his hand as lt
In benediction-and almost instantly
thc i little one tell asleep. It seemed
as if God was, in that tent The les
son ot that Utile Ulk lingered in that
community for years. The poor, tired
mothers. So few are their opportuni
ties to get away from home. Deafen
your, ears to the cries of the little
ones, soon they may fall asleep. Let
the muthera stay.

MEDICAL INSPECTION
(Laurens Advertiser.)
That facts arc stronger than theory
end that truth outweighs false char
ges are well Illustrated in a letter of
Superintendent Frank Evans of the
Spartanburg.clty schools dealing with
Governor Blease's speech in opposi
tion to the medical Inspection of the
schcol children. His letter is found
elsewhere In this issue. Hr. Evans
takes the example of the inspection bf
school childrcu as carried out in
Spartanburg to show that the children
hu ve been greatly benefltted by lt, and
that they have not been subjected to
and measures which would jar the
moBt delicate sensibilities. In fact,
Mr. Evans stated that the only paren
tal objection met with came from thc
Christian scientists, who do not be
lieve in the effectiveness of medicine
at all. He goes further and submits
the inspection blank in use to show
the medical inspection of school chil
dren does not imply an encroachment
upon parental authority.
Why the poorer people'of this state
deceive themselves about the measures,
or'allow themeslves to be deceived,
we are at a loss to understand in tba
face of such arguments and facts as
have been put up to support its
need.
