Kurts P. Smith deserves ongratul?ted upon the splendid manaor in which he handled his new ?f#m during'the three weeks of court Considering tts lmndi under which he labored.

MAT HINKIt V OF ELE1 TION ATTI VF Thc first definite udionv taken lu compliance with th?? nilen recently ? adopted at the Stale convention will We the meetings of the County Kxecu tive Committee to he held tomorrow. These ?rill be very busy meetings and of the very greatest importance. At (his meeting each county committee will proceed to "lay out ami desig nate each club district and Hs boun daries as provided in these rule?, and al that time may form any new dill? which they may deem ad vi 8 ahle ' The following are the qualifica tions for membership In a club as provided in Section C of the new niles: ii. The qualifications for mem bership In any duh of the party in th'? State, and for voting in II primary shall he as follows: The applicant for membership or voter, shall be 21 years of age, or shall become so before the sue ceeding general election, ami be u white Democrat. He shall he a citizen of the United States and of this state. No perso.? shall be long to any club or vote In any primary unless he has resided in the State two years and the coun ty six months prior to the suc ceeding general election and in the duh district (?0 days prior to the first primary following hts offer to enroll: Provided. That publia school teachers and min isters of the gospel in charge of a regular organized church shall he exempt from the provisions of this section, as to residence, if otherwise qualified. lt might%be well to refer to the pen alties for fraudulent enrollment as provided In section 370 of the criminal code : "Any person who Bhali fraudulently procure tho regis tration of a name or names on the party registration lists or the rolls. In violation of the party rules or otherwise . of who shall uld. counsel or o^et another In so doing, either as to said fraudulent registration or said fraudulent attempts to vote, shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor and on conviction shall bo punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500. or bo imprisoned for a term of not less than 30 nor more than 90 days, or both, at 'he discretion of the court." Thus lt will be seen that the ma chinery for absolutely honest elect tiona hos been provided by the State convention and by the General As sembly. It remains for the voters to cheerfully acquiesce in these rules and thus insure ? that no crookedness can be charged to the primary this year. Honest men should be willing to abide tho result of honest 'elect ion s ; others should be made to do so. ANDERSON'S SCHOOLS Every Andersonian should feel proud of the records made by the schools of the city for the past ses sion. If tho saying that one can Judge a community by its churches and tts, schools is true, Anderson snould have a very commendable pride In the Judgment that will go forth wherever the standing of her schools and her churches is known. A total enrollment of her schools of 3,588 during the past session is climbing at a very gratifying pace. Sundy there is not much need of com pulsory education in this city. But lest we be misunderstood, we wish to state that if there is one boy or girl who has the capacity for learn ing, needlessly kept away from school, the State should step in and see that such boy or girl is given an opportunity to prepare for an equal hattie in lire. With Bitch schools as the city has. there is strong probability that the future ('allumns will continue to come from Anderson. We take off our bats tn Superintendent McC-?nts. his .able faculty and the board of trustees for the splendid achievement. POLITICAL POT WILL BOIL. The political pot In Anderson coun ty will poon be bubbling over, and the present indications are that there will be nome lively doings a little later. Candidates will begin to come thick and fast from now on, the issues de fined and the lines closely drawn. The expressed intention of all the, candidate? is to conduct a clean and high toned campaign free from any mud ?llhglng. This . bi greatly bc, desired and it ls hoped will be strictly adhered to during the entire cam paign. There are certain issues to be discussed, and the people informed on such matters aa they are not post ed upon. So there ?will be plenty bf topics for discussion other than per sonal abuso or mud-slinging, and the intelligencer hopes the candidate, or the candidates, who begins to lower thc high plane will receive such a lee son from the audience that no furth er att mpt will be made. A PIEDMONT FAIR WOULD PAT ! That a great Piedmont Pair would j be a good investment for the people of Anderson county cannot be ques tioned. The experience of other placea ls that tb ay de pay. not only [-tn dividends to stock holders bnt In the 'quickened life pf the community. Qr itiiKt'hurK lias a fair association and Iwo fairs dav*- beeil held, both pro nounced successes. Thu attendance wau very law und lurg?* earn in RU for the stockholders resulted. Wal lerboro has had four sessions of the Coll eton County Fuir, and each one has been better than the one pre ceding. Uarnwell has proved that county fairs are profitable, to Bay j nothing of fairs held In other places in the state. Another example comes to mind from anot lier state. Hopklnsvitle, Ky., is a little city mm h like Anderson. thoiiRb not so populous. It is th? i ?enter of the Pennyroyal district of Kentucky and has surrounding it fer tile farming lauds. No cotton ia grnwu or manufacturede there, but ehere are great amounts of wheat and grain grown, and some good live stock. The people are Independent and prosperous. Last year it was de cided to organize a Pennyroyal fair, and the chamber of commerce got busy and put up the necessary build ings and a half mlle race track was laid off. The fair was one of thc most successful ever held in that state, and paid the stockholders almost a hundred per cent dividend. The peo ple flocked Into Hopkinsvllle from ev evry side by the thousands, and the city got some of the best advertising that could possibly have been given. This year plans are under way for muk lng it greiter and grander than last year. What tho Pennproval city has done, can be done in Anderson by a great Piedmont fair. What has Secretary Whaley and the chamber of commerce , to ?ay on thc subject? NA HRH OF THK ORIGINAL STATE H lt will no doubt surprise moat of us to realize, when our, attention is culled to it, how little we know of the origin of such familiar names as those of the thirteen original colonies that declared their independence of Great Britain and fought the war of Am erican liberty more than a century and one third ago. The following article contains some facts that will doubtless prove new to many: New Hampshire was named from Hampshire, England, from which country many of the early settlers came. Massachusetts was so called from the Indian word meaning Great Hills Place, probably from the heights of land near Boston. Rhode Island was called Rhode Eye landt by the Butch because of the red cranberries which covered the largest island in Narragansett Bay. Connecticut was called Quoneckta cut by the Indians, meaning Long Ui ver, and the settlers applied it to the colony, i -i \ *..?.'... ?. : j .y; l' ,i -\ New York,'fl Wt* called New Nether lands by the Dutch, was changed in honor of James, Duke of York, to whom his brother. Charles II gave large grants in the colony. New Jersey was named for Sir Geo. Carteret, Governor of the Island of Jersey. It was originally called Nova Caeserea, New Caesar. Pennsylvania, meaning Penn's woodland from the Latin.sylvania and Wi i liam Penn. Delaware was named from Lord de la Warr, one of the early proprietors. Maryland after Henrietta Marla, the Queen of CharleB I of England, at the request of the King to the proprie tor8. ? Virginia, named after Elizabeth, the virgin Queen ot England.

Allants May 30.-Special:-Rural telephones are beginning to play Just as Important if not more important part than either rural free delivery or parcels post. In putting the farmer cn an economical equality with the city business man. The growth of rural telephones on the lines ot the Southern Bell throughout Georgia' and other south ern states is as interesting as a ro mance. A generation ago the average farmer was isolated. Today he ia no there isolated than' .his city neigh bors.'*. It is directly as, the results ot these facilities that, the average southern farmer has developed Into a compe tent business man, a salesman of hts own products, aa well as a producer of them. Tho day baa passed forayer when, tho farmer ' laboriously loads hip crops on wagons .and takes them to the County seat and then either sella them or not at prices which may or may not be below normal. Today tho farmer with a telephone uses, the wires to two or three towns before deciding where he will market bia wares; and often makes the actual salee over the wires before be even starts to load his wagons.

Seeking readmission to the bur of this r.tate, John T. Duncan, of Co lumbia, lost his first-step toward that end when the supreme court refused Friday to hear his verbal motion for a review of bis cow or to accept for filing a. written ?notion, advising him to make audi before Attorney Gen eral Thomas H. Peeples. Mr. Duncan had prepared a review of his case containing about a dozen single-spaced typewritten pages of le gal cap paper, lt was said, which he proposed to file with the supreme court. After the refusal of the court to hear him. Mr. Duncan did not state what would be his next step in his effort to secure re-instatement before the bar. His disbarment about four years ago by the supreme court followed one of the hardest fought cases of this kind brought before that tribu nal. Since that time he has repeat edly made effort to gain re-admission. WATERS VIOUS YEARS ng Have Proved All Too Feeble to and Wind* and Catting Rocks 1907: November .20.
