The strike at the Equinox mills just at this time Is most unfortunate. The people of Anderson and of the entire county have Just been rent., ratulhtlng themselvRH that every rntl ?n ??111 In Anderson was running on full time, and that the wages being paid the operatives would go far towards keep ing up trade conditions and business la and around Anderson. Nov.- thi ? hope has been shattered and u strike Is on.. Hundreds of families are thrown out of employment and If this condition Ib allowed to continue, suf fering will bo sure to follow. It la to be deplored that something could not have been done to avert the strike. It will .be much more to be deplored If nothing' can be done to slop it. The Intelllgoncor docs not *-lsh In this editorial to have anything to sa?' as to the rl?ht and the wrong of this disagreement between tbe officials of the .milt and the striking weavers. Each pldo, of course, thinks it is right, and mu.?jf think so Btrongly to main tain Jbj position as they are doing. What we wish to do is to call at tention to the fact that tho commun ity ?li?' 'ha? 'some rightd. and that it is a duty bo?li sides to this disagree ment.owe to tho community to <nake earnest j PJ d conscientious efforts to settle' thfrlr differences, so that work may ;b?,resumed, and the consequent suffering and loss avoided. The civic life of Anderson cannot afford to have this Industrial plant shut down at tills time, and ' a "give nnd take" policy should' be pursued on both Bides. Sc-, w.s .confidently ex pect and hope that reason will prevail and that the disagreement will prove only tempo rary. If there Is a desire to be "bull headod" on the part of any connected in any way with this unfortunate dis agreement let thOBe who foel thlj way step aside and allow coot and disin terested persons to adjudicate the matter. .The cotton mills of this sec tion have been very free from dif ferences of opinion ' resulting in strikes, and we trust this is only a temporary cessation of work mid that we shall have but little more of it now or at any time. FARM PLANNING. If each farm In uny community Is clean, tidy, and well kept, presenting a thrifty, homo-life appearance, the whole neighborhood will bo atractlve to visitors and satisfying to residents. Local and county fair boards might create a very valuable farm Improve ment habit by offering a liberal prize for tbo beBt planned farm in a neigh borhood or In a county. "Have the rocks on this placo been hydrated?" asked a Florence editor of one of the college professors. "Too much expert knowledge for a mere newspaper man." remarked another. ''Shortly, you have shown us every thing In your department but the brewery," said an editor from the City of Distress to tho genial chef at Clemson, after being shown the . Im mense feeding plant of tho college. "No, t have not shown it to you. but we' have one," was the reply. . The Spartanburg editor went thirsty. "I do not like to give tho news to the students tomorrow, morning at chapel," announced Prof. Harper. "There are too many newspaper here to suit me," he continued. But, he was at his post ,an<l gave the. news of the day' bc'f?ro' in succlno for .a. It was remarked afterward that his news storiea -were every bit as accurate as those' being sent out from Borlln, or Petrograd. J CXtM?t? < OLLI Ait. A?L?

The, real' purpose of the conference between the editors of"the daily news, papers-and the. demonstration agents, was to devise means by which eacu could be more helpful to the other. Every - demonstrator unhesitatingly stated that he "considered the coopera tion of the newspapers an invaluable asset to his work. The newspaper editors styted that they believed the work being done by these demonstra tors of the greatest impoi tance, and were willing to cooperate with them In every way possible to spread their gospel of better farming. Some really helpful suggestions were made .on each side, and an effort will bo.made to build-up a news feature of the work su that concrete examples of what is being done in every county in th State may be available to wie ucwa papers. This will doubtloss be handled through the demonstrators direct, in a iargr- measure, and through the State headquarters at Cle-nson College. A system of reports with special mention of meritorious work will doubtless be arranged, and from these reports Prof. Long will cull- what will be helpful to every county and forward this to the news papers. It was a great meeting. It is evi dent that the greatest constructive work in South Carolina Jus now is be ing dono by Dr. Long and his corps of able assisants, who are using such sound and logical methods to reach the people who need to be reached, and to help them to help themselves. The figures in Prof. Long's annual re port were astounding. His work cost a total of $54,000, two-thirds of which wan contributed' by the National gov ernment, and resulted in a profit to the people of the State of $2,500,000. This..total-is made up by auoh Items us this: Demonstrators mixed at the homes of farmers 223,000 tons of com mercial fcrt'llzer at a saving to the farmers of $4 per ton. Twenty one thousand eight hundred forty-five trees pruned and sprayed; $34,131 of poultry and eggs sold through demon strators. Corn yields raised from S or c bushels to 35 or 45 bushels per acre. Wheat acreage increased over 200 per cent In a year; 98,200 acres of cover crops planted ; 198.240 pound b of vetch and clover seed saved by the farmers for future planting, etc. etc. The press of tl e State not stand behind such a mov? meut! As well ex pect the sun to cease to shine. Charleston has a warm admirer and a strong defender in the person of the librarian of Clemson College. Misa Anne Porcher engaged several of the editors In a worry war on the subject of how to enforce law in Charleston. She Ib so ardent an admirer of .the City by tho Sea.that she challenges all comers, but she could hardly do fend the report that Charleston's may or and a prominent business man went down the aisle of the State house arm in arm In order to defeat the prohibi tion referendum. "You are simply in. corrigible." was as for as sho could go. . - V .V.V; ' . \i The Inspection of the old homo of John C, Calhoun was one of the enjoy able features uf tho visit or, the edi tors at Clemson College. I Many. ar ticles of furniture associated with this great man are kept io bis old home ar.d are viewed by many persona. An old sofa with eagles ornamenting the ! sideB, Is said to be where the eagle on the silver dollur came from. It was suggested that someone produce a dollar and see If the likeness were ' accurate, but not an editor had that much coin of the realm on i;i.s person, j "on account of the war." EDITORS OFF DUTY. The editors at (.'letuson College found several hundred ordinary cub buge plants In "individual" pots. "Too aristocratic," said Editor Brunsen. "If the farmer finds this out. he will stop l:is son from attending such a high f lain In ' school," declared this Green-i ville editor, on being shown over on of the hot houses .it. Clemson College.

"The Hterucy test and the tests and restriction?? which accompany it con stitute an even more radical change in the policy of the nation. Hither to we have gcnorously kept our doors open to all who were not unfitted by reason of disease or Incapacity far self support or such personal records and antecedents as were likely to muke them a menace to our peace und order, or to the wholesome arid, essential relationships of life. In this bill it is proposed to turn away from tests of character and of quality, and to impose tests which exclude and restrict; for the now tests here, em-., bodied are not tests of quality or of" character or of personal illness, but tests of opportunity. Those who come seeking opportunity are aot to be admitted unless luey nave already-j had one of the chief of the opportun- | ities they seek?the opportunity of education. The object of such provls- I ions is restriction, not selection. "If the people of this country have I made up their minds to limit the number of immigrants by arbitrary tests and so reverse tho policy of all ' the generations of Americans tbfct have gone before them, it Is ' their right to do so. I am their servant and have no license to stand in their way. Hut 1 do not believe that they havc. I respectfully submit that tiu one cau quote tholr mandate to that effect. Has any political party ever avowed a policy of restriction in this fundamental -natter, gone to the country on it, and been commission ed to control its legislation? Docs tliis bill rest upon the conscious and universal assent and desire of the American people? I doubt It. It is because I doubt It that I make bold to dissent from it. I em willing to abide by the verdict, but not until it has been rendered. Let tho plat forms of parties speak out upon this policy and the people pronounce their wish. The matter Is too fundamental to be settled otherwise. "I have no pride of ooinion on this question. I am not foolish enough to profess to know the wishes and 'deals of America better than the body of her chosen representatives know them. I only want instruction direct from' those whose fortunes with ours and all men's, are involved." : Other business in the house was suspended while the president's veto message was read. It evoked ap plause on the Democratic side and from some Republicans. NO STOMACH PAIN GAS. INDIGESTION IN FIVE MINUTES "Pape'e Dinpepsin" is the only read stomach regulator known.

ML STRATTON, OF CH?CA GO, HERE IN INTEREST OF PROJECT HAS SUBMITTED BID FOR BUILDING Make* a Special Study of Eleva tors and Is a Believer in the South. . Mr. H. M. Stratton, representing tue Bnrrell Engineering & Construction .Company of Chicago, was in Ander son last night In conference with lo cal persons interested in the construc tion of the grain'elevator. Mr. Strnt ton's Arm bas'made a tentative bid covering the building of the plant, and is anxious to close a deal with M'essr. . Edw H. Richards of Willow City and the local stockholders in the elevator project to build the plant. Ho wlH today meet with other parties Interested, and will later see Mr. Fichant* in C hicago with reference to the matte?. Mr. Stratton will bo here until this afternoon, Svhen he will. leavfe for Dai nib rid ce and Athens, Qa.% both of which cities' propose the erection of grain elevators. . Mr. Stratton has made - a- soeclal study of grain elevators for the South, and is'a'firm, believer in their possi bilities in this section, and' through out the South. He May? thai in North Louisiana the construction of grain elevators was begun about five years, ago when the boll woe vil drove thel cotton plant out aad grain was sub stitute instead;' he says that nil of these plants are doing splendidly in that part of Louisiana aad few people there now think of planting cotton, except upon a very moderate scale. It has In fact, according to Mr. Ktratton, revolutionized conditions nil over North Louisiana. Such Condi tions will also prevail here, only on a larger scale, since tho hinds. are bet ter and the farmers in better shape to prosecute grqln planting, not.hav ing' become almost bankrupt through' the boll weevil. Mr. Stratton says that Anderson Is u splendid location for a plant, and i that it will pay well here and bo of ' great heneflt to the entire county. Notice to Teachers.
