Ir? conversation with a gentleman yesterday the remark was made that there are many sins being committed In Anderson, but that in his opinion there are none of them comparable to the Bin of lying, and especially i does this seem true in Anderson at this time, according to the gentleman. Ile stated that one hardly knowe what to believe about anything one hears, thnt there are so many per Bons whose motives aro 'r-pugned, and who are accused of making mis statements, that lt is indeed an alarm ing condition which confronts the people pf Anderson. Not only is this true in reference to ordinary con versation on tlie street, In which, per haps, unintentionally facts aro exag gerated, but lt extends to business matters. In driving bargains, often the principals indulgo In misrepre senting the merits of their wares, in order to make a Bale or a trade. But perhaps the most objectionable kind of untruth 1B that which has to do with the character of our fellow man. A whispered v. ord has ruined the reputation of many a woman, and man, for that matter, and has caus ed deepest sorrow. How careful, then, ought we to be when Btatlng an oc currence ns a fact. Doubtless our readers are familiar with.tho fable of the ancient ruler who directed his servant to prepare a dinner for his guests of the best things in the world. Tho dinner con sisted of tongue. Tlie next day the order was changed to the "worst thing in the world," and again ton gue was served. Calling for an ex planation, the servant said that he had. Indeed, dono as his master had required. For what iB there in the world of more comfort, and can do more good when properly used than the tongue; And, also, what is there that can causo more anguish and suf fering than the tongue when used to pilli down the good,, or to ruin the reputation of tho Just Shakespeare believed in speaking the' truth and the following quota tion shows what he thought of the person who would speak Ul of his neighbor: . "Who steals my purse, steals trash, But who filches from me my good name, Roba me of that which not enriches . j; him, But leaves me poor indeed.'.' As a thought.for this Holy day, let us pauso long enough to look Gils matter of mi 3 represen tatton square ly in tho face, and when convinced of , the Bin of falsely speaking, 1st us re solve that henceforth we shall speak 1 only the truth, . . -? 0 ? ?

' TOLLS COMINO IN' From August 1 to November I, ac cording to ligures made public la Washington, tho tolls collected from men liant vessels passing through the Panama ('anal umountcd to a little I over $735,000. No one, of course, un derstands this record to be anything like normal. It is certain that, with the revival of business that is tuking place in this country as well as in other countries not at war, the amount of tolls collected at the canal will increase very largely and 'very rapidly, because the amount of freight that will be curried over this route will Increase. This item of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in three months goes directly into thc treasury of the United StatcB, thanks to the act of Congrus? recently passed by the Democrats under the lead of Presi dent Wilson, repealing the lolls ex emption law of 1912 which owed its existence to Republican votes. Had this tolls exemption repeal act not been, passed by far thc greater p,>? fon of thia sum would have gone into the coffers of the shipping Interests Most of tho tonnage upon which tolls were paid during the period mention ed was' carried in the coastwise trade and would.^undcr the free provision of the Republican, law, have paid no tolls for the privilege of passing through the canal, built at the ex pense of all thc people. The American people built the ca na) with their own money. Thoy have a right to charge toils for the use of that canal. To allow ship owners to use it free would be purely and simply to give to them the benefit of taxes paid by ail the people. It would be as clear a case of graft as if the shipping interests had donat ed the thousands of dollars repre sented, by a direct appropriation of Congress. One of the significant things about the situation is that, in spite of all tho wild warnings of the. Hearat-la den newspapers of last spring ns to what dire consequences would follow, the repeal of the tolls exemption, there is nothing but satisfaction in the country over tho-operation of the tolls law-except among those who have millions invested in ships which have to pay the people for the use of the people's, .canal. CLUBS AND TIGERS. Of course we. wish every possible success for the movement that has been ; launched In Columbia to - sup press the blind tigers,' but we think it Will not amount to mitch.' It ls evi dent that the city administration Is not very deiermhittl on thc subject, and so far lt appears that only a very small part'of the public is at all Interested. ' ' ' The trouble is that there are so many social clubs in Columbia, com posed of wealthy and influential peo ple, that the police will not dare try to molest them, and. the blind tigers will never be supressed so long as these high-class social daubs are al lowed to exist That ls the plain truth, and most people realise lt. The dividing line be tween a social club and a blind tiger ls not easily discernable to many peo ple. The social club is a convenience for those who are ablo to belong tc lt, and many a poor man cannot un derstand why he should not be allow ed to by' whiskey from a blind tiger lt a rich man ls to be allowed to gel lt at his social club. The answer la, ol Course, that the blind tiger ia oper ated for a profit while the social club Is not, but the answer is not very sat isfactory when ono consldeis that the sole object of the man who belongs tc the club and the man who patronizer the tiger is to get .liquor. At .any rate .-.the distinction Mtweeti clubs and tigers will never be satis fying .to the average run of people and there will be tigers Just as long as there are clubs. If the officers per mit tho clubs to exist the people will Bee to it that the tigers exist, and th? officer'Who makes war on tho tigert while closing his eyes to the clubs li going to.have an up hill job ot lt - The -Anderson Daily Mall. The above is a true summing ui pt the matter about which. The Intel ligencor has written GO many times and wo are glad to have the assist ince of (lie afternoon paper in th/i tjt?Xf ?qr Vp absolutely clean city, an< a iBobVr .oae^ Yes,.' th? officer wh< 'makes war on the tigers while bios lng his eyes to the clubs ls going ti have an up-hill Job of it." A PRAYING SOLDIER 4 IA dispatch relative to the arrival a Ascot of the body of Field Marsha Lord Roberts, who died rather sud ienly at the headquarters of the Brit Ish forces in France last Saturday contains these words: "The body wa placed in tho small room in his rest dence in which the great soldier wat wont to conduct family prayers." It ls good to kn g w that this gr ea British soldier waa? a praying mac Somehow lt raises him in the estima lion ot tho ope perhaps who is not a familiar with the brilliant recon which he made and the deluge ot hon ora which were his during bis lom career, it ls pleasing to know the among the master minds directing th titanic carnival of murder now rag lng In tb? .European slaughter bona there waa at least one who was give to bending the knee before Him wh holde the millions ot earth tn th? ho! law ot His hand, , . .In reading ot thia prayerful Britts soldier one calls to mind tho sublih ity ot character of "Stonewall" Jae! son, who, it has been Bald, read his Bible and prayed every night during tho fierce struggle between the sec tions. And one calls to mind the sweet ind gentle countenance of Lee, itself an index of the Godly soul reposing within. The greatest murders of men in the world's history may not have been religious. We know that Attila, thc Scourge of God, was not, Napo leon, Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander and the others- not mentioning them in the order of their day- may have ben, but we aro inclined to think not. V/hy is it that Leb and Jackson are the idols of their people, and why is the name of Lord . Roberts revered throughout the kingdom on whose possessions the sun never sets? Does one think of Attila, Hannibal, Napo leon, -or any of those as "idols" of the people? Somehow, in our own mind, wc don't think of the two types of sol? dlers in the same way. Is it not the fact that Len, Jackson and Lord Rob erts were more than mere soldiers, but were enlisted under the bander of the Great King as well, that we think not of them as mere destroyers of human life but great men, good and kind and true? ooooooooooooooooobo ? o o OUR BAILY POEM o o o ooo (?oo on ooo o. ooooooo?'

T r v ~\ i\ '< ' (Smut la one of tho factors that ls helping bring about thia change. The smut problem ls a serious one; The winter wheat thlB year, through large areas, 'will, average 15 to 25 per cent of stinking smut. And this in spite of the ract that tho majority of the farmers treat their seed with cop per sulphate or formaldehyde by the most approved methods. Whoo this ls not done, aa much as.76 per cent of Gie crop may be taken. (Evidently the smut remains virile in the soil from year to year and in fects the clean seed-after planting.' Besides the great reduction In yield caused by GU s stinking smut it low ers the'market value of the.rest of the crop: many carloads every, year being discounted entirely and thrown out for feed on account ot the smut Nor ls this all. The smut when dry cou tains 77 per cent of volatile, com busUble -material. .This makes lt a dangerous factor In threshing. ,Tho smut, duBt, and smut isden chaff around a threshing machine, once Ig nited, burn with such violence that it ls seldom possible to save Gio mach inery or grain. _ Explosions Do Occur. True spontaneous,; combustion or "smut explosiona" ?re- probably ?ete> paranvely rare.

Several fires have been quenched in this manner before any material damage waa done. There are two possible solutions to the smut problem, as I see it: One is to breed a smut-resistant wheat; the other is to brcaw up the big wheat districts into diversified fanning. At present the Turkey Red wheat presents the highest degree of Bmut resistance of any of the commercial winter wheata. The Washington State experiment station is trying by plant-breeding iv .thuds to increase this quality of re s'..fence and at the same time, retain the stiff straw, non-shattering heads, and other qualities so important to the wheat .aisers of the Pacific North west. FLOWERING BULBS. Owing to tho war: in Europe'the Holland bulbs'have been rushed to thlB country in such quantities that ?they can; be had moro cheaply than cvor- before. The'hyacinth, tulip and j narcissus bulbs can be planted at any I time in the fall up to Christmas, but the i earlier, now; the better, befo re. t he stocks get run down and good bulbs scarce. To plant a bed of hyacintha remove .the surface . soil about. six inches, and place the bulbs on thia excavated surface* and then . return the soil and rake the bed smooth. lu a circular bsd I set the bulbs in cir cles of one color .each, making , tho circles six inches, apart and placing the bulbs threo inches apart. * . Tulips and narcissi can be planted in tho same way, or -you can plant them in clumps of a dozen among the shrubbery. The hardy lilies like -the Madonna or Candl?um lily should have been planted in September, as they must make a rosette of green winter leaves in order to do well, and they can not do this from late plantr lng. I Crocus bulbs can be had for about 50 cents a hundred and they can be ctuck under the sod all over tho,lawn and bloom finely In Ute spring before ther? ls any need for the lawn mow er. The- earliest hyacinths to bloom are the White Roman, but ; these Should not bo planted till .the soil is cold in December, for plaited 'early they will start at once and try; to bloom before Christmas And then ^the tops have tho coldest weather Of-th? winter on .them.1 Planted after ; the sol! gets really cold they will, remain dormant The earnests true'of ?the Polyanthus species Of Narclssiis;- Jika tba Paper Whitr.and the.Chinee Sa cred Illy.

Louis ville, Kentucky, for the host record of a ten-boy team in any State in tho South. The yields are wonderful, av eraging 171.83 bushels per acre, and ranging frpm a low yield to .127 bu shels to a high yield of 282.50. made on bis acre* by Walter Dunstan pt Tallapoosa county; But the,, thing of most significance tri all corn growers; north and south, ts the average low.cost Of production made bly these boys. W. Roy^ Holly pt Elmore-county made bis corn at a cost ot 12 cents a bushel and reaped a pri?t of $142.53 on a yield ot 162.53 bushels. The ave ra go production coat of the 1.7IS bushels grown on tho ten acre patches was a fraction over 18 cents nbushel.
