"liamned If You no
Damned If You Do n't.''
?Some farmers aro hard people to
please. Some of them are very rea
sonable on some subjects, in fact it
.night be said that the major'ty of the
f H miara ?f the country arc reasonable
minded folks but when it comee to a
question of rain or dry weather the
?ruler Ia a hard man to please. One
week ago the tanners all said that ir
the fair weather would continue for
another week they could catch up with
their work and hmo crops In tine
shape. Yesterday some of those who
were tn the city complained al/out the
dry weather and said that lt was aw
fully hard on crops and that rain just
must come at once or crops would ho
a failure. This sounds to tho weather
man very much Uko a real complaint.

GUT OEF WATER
FROM SCHOOLS
- ?
(Continued From First Page.)
nished and bills presented for water
f M?*I?in?*C\i \rv* * rG ii c i* ?. ? is a lumi v wat WCO
Company to the Schools of the school
District since 10 February, 1014.
7. State that while tho Anderson
School District recognizes tho vali
dity of the new franchise and contract
with the public Utilities Company, it
disputes the right to muko chargea
=bovs referred io on tho giourn? that
the providions of the old franchise are
still effective In so far as they re
quire the Water Company to furnish
free water for these schools.
The intention of tbe company to cut
off the water was signified to tho
thutrmnn of the board, Mr. Rrock,
Saturday afternoon, aud the attorneys
of the board were notified by him.
They had had no consultation up to u
lato hour last night.
The Tangle Hlarted.
The tangle in these affairs growa
out of two facts, one that the Behool
district is not a part of the municipal
government of Anderson, and another
that the contract between the water
company and the city of Anderson was
auperccded by the new contract, which
was offered last fall and was finally
adopted carly In this year.
Under the old contract tho city was
to get water at |.r>0 per annum for
each hydrant and all public institu
tutlons were to re?oive water free.
I'taler the new contrct the city is to
pay $40 a year for each hydrant, or a
reduction of $1U per year per hydrant,
and these arc about 175 hydrants.
Provided that all water used by pub
lic institutions was to bc paid .for at
meter rates This would be a net
saving to the city of about $900 a year.
It ls claimed that de school dis
trict, being as much of j a separate
entity as the township, ia not In any
I way a party to the contract and should
I pay for Its water just as the town
ship or the county would pay. If the
I city government paid for the water,
the outlying territory, Including some
of the cotton mills, would have no
part In paying for the water usad in
to nv? of the schools, and the wards of
he city would really pay for the
water used in suburban schools,
where as the school district pays all
other bills, including salaries, repairs
.net, etc.
The matter will probably be set
tled In some form or manner In a few
days, as Judge Prince ls now at home
and can be applied to at any time for
mandamus. Injunction or any other
kind of writ that may be sought.

F KOW, V E lt A t iti / TO MEXICO
CITV
There are two main traveled ways
Into Mexico City. The first lies across
th?? stormy waters of the Mexican
gulf to the yellow strand of Vera
Cruz, beyond willoh the star monu
ment or the Aztes, Citlateptl (Orizaba
iL'.J'.o feet high? rears its gleaming
snow' cap in midheuvens above the
clouds, lt was here thal Cortes land,
cd four centuries ago, and it ls the
route followed by European travelers
today. Here stands l'Hua, the prom
ontory fortress where more than one
of Mexico's short-lived rulers lan
guished and died of yellow fever, and
which was the last stronghold of
Spain. Boyond lt arise the white tow
ers and buildings of Vera Cruz, . a
dream city, as beheld from the gulf,
of interest and beauty, and to the west
are the broad castal deserts. Piled up
to the horizons are the wooded slopeii
und canyons of the great Sierra Madre
tapped hy tho gleaming Orizaba, tow
ering upward in its solid majesty. Wo
uand upon a torrid strand, yet gaze
upon an tey mountain.
One of the most remarkable rail
ways In the world ascends the steep
zone, and serpentines among sheer
descents to gain the summit or abrupt
: escarpments from which a remarkable
feature of the eastern ?lope of Mex
ico-the traveler looks down Into an
other country and climate, upon the
?tropical valleys which lie has left be
llow. This ls the Mexican Voru Cruz
railway. Rising from the tierra cal
lento, or hot lands, a tropical region
?of dense vegltation or jungle and La
? goon where there are snore.-,, woods
[and groves teeming with animal and
vegetable life, the road enters the
more temperate zone, the tierra tem
plada, extending upward toward the
great plateau. The limit of the cli
?matic zone is an elevation of 6.000
feet above'tho sea level. Rising then
up to and over the escarpments of the
Sierra Madre and the high plains, we
enter the tierra fr?a, or cold lands,
ranging from 0.000 to 8.000 feet above
sen lovel. Above this rise the high
summits of the Mexican Cordilleras,
with their culminating peaks, som? of
which penetrate the atmosphere above
the limit of perpetual snow*.
The earliest raliway of Mexico, that
from the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz,
traverses tba country in the most
difficult direction, traversly rising
from tidewater and the Atlantic littor
al, and ascending the steep escarp
ments cf the eastern "lerra SSsdre ?o
fall down into the valley of Mexico,
bringing outBldo civilization to that
Isolated interior.
Ont Mexico's singular topographical
position has not secured her from in
vasion. Three times the city on the
lakes has fallen to foreign Invaders.
Thc Spaniards nf the conquest, the
French of Napoleon and the Aemeri
cana of the United States. Indeed, the
flat arid tableland stretching away to
the north was a more potent natural
defense than thc Cordilleras heights
which front the Atlantic seas, and the
axiom of Lerdo is well brought to tho
mind In considering the geographical
environment. "Between weakness and
strength, the desert.!"-From 'Mexico',

KURTZ P. SMITH TO BE PROS
ECUTING OFFICER
STATES HIS POLICIES
Solicitor Tells How He Will DU-;
charge the Duties o? the Very I
Important Office
Kurtz P. Smith, ono of tho city's I
?well known attorneys, received Ms'
commission as solicitor for the loth
judicial circuit, air. Smith is now tho
collcitor and han already begun the
discharge of his duties.
Kuri/. P. Smith ,is the son of Capt.
"Billy" Smith, who is known all over
[ Anderson county. He received his
education at thc University of Michi
gan, graduating with honors from the
law school or that Institution, later
receiving a course at the University
of Indiana, ll? WHS graduated from i
that institution in 1?04 and in 1905 ne
began the practice of law in Ander
son. Ii?- has been very successful,
taking an active part frt eome of the
principal criminal trials heard in this
county and he has made a record for
I himself. H served six years iu the
lower house of the general assembly
?from Anderson county, giving up that
I position last year on account of his
law practice. Ho was chairman of
the committee an railroads.
While the people of Anderson con
sider Mr. Smith one Of the natives,
as a matter of fact ho is an Oconee
! man and an Anderson citizen because
of the fact that he wasL born in Oco
nee county and made his home there
until he was if? years of age.
The new solicitor ls 33 years of
age and is considered one of the ab
le? t lawyers In the state. He pos
sesses ability and with lt the tact and
"raining necessary to make a good so
licitor.
In discussing -with a reporter for
The Intelligencer his views about the
duties of this important office. Mr.
Smith said yesterday that he would
irpare no efforts In discharging the
duties of the office as they should be.
"Hov ever," said the .new solicitor, "I
must first be sr.tisfiied that the defen
? dant is guilty before I will aske a jury
I to convict him. If I find a case where
there ls reason to believe that the
prisoner at the bar 1B ?innocent' I
shall certainly favor giving him his
freedom. I shall prosecute the guilty
to the best of my ability but at no
Hmo will I countenance persecution.
If a man is gullly the ?act will pe dis
closed by trial and if he ia innocent
he will be speedily" freed,"
Since be was appointed Mr. Smith
has been using every minute in get
ting affairs ready for the next ses
sion of court and has been attending
to dosen? of indictments. Owing to
the fact that there is- much new busi
ness for thin term the solicitor has
had all he con do and he will still
have many busy honra before court
convenes herc one- week from to
morrow.
Mr. Smith will nat; for .the present
relinquish tho position of county at
torney, which ls not a constitutional
office, as bc has several important
car.es in hand which he wishes to
conclude for the board of county com
missioners.
