I lt shall cst be our purpose unduly to belittle those with whom >ve may not agree, nor will wo seek to give too much praise <o the ?ndesvrvhig. The men who make this paper love Anderson, they ovo great its history and they are filled with emotion over the ?vonderful possibilities and prospects of this matchless country. The ?tolley of this paper will be Onward and Forward and Upward. With hat in view we beg thc consideration and support of the people. As to our qualifications, we point with pride to thc words of commen tation of our friends, of all political factions in this State. JOHN SNOWDEN WILSON, JUDGE ' John Snowden Wilson, who ls presiding over this term of 'ou?t in Anderson county, was elected judge in the Third Circuit on January 23, 1907. ' He road law with his kinsman, B. Pressloy Barron, Esq., and was Admitted to the bar by examination before Ute Supreme Court in }880, beginning the practice of his profession at Manning, where he vas m partnership with Joseph F. Rhame of that bar and later with Col. B. Pressley Barron of the Manning bar. He was a trial justice it Manning and filled thia position In a manner to refiect?credlt upon ilmself and w,ith decided satisfaction to the entire county. He re igned and practiced law alone until 1890 when he ottered for the position orsSftcittir and was eleetstfP As Solicitor for ten years. Mr. Wilson was in partnership with Charlton DuRapt at Manning under tho u\ ?u??luo ?* TV'??B?? oe O?lx?ui. I hin porui?riiu?p WIM dinsoive? in 1906 and Mr. Wilson formed a partnership with S. Oliver O'Brien. As Solicitor Mr. Wilson was careful and painstaking, always urlving to find the truth and always endeavoring to serve the State, lie has changed not ons whit in this respect since he wan ele?eted to the high office which he now holds. He ls careful and deliberate, yet quick vb seise the smallest detail and grasp its full import Judge Wilson ls a credit to the bench ol the State and thia opin ion is shared in alike by both the people of the State and the bar of "South Carolina. One of the greate&t pages in lils Ufo history waa the incident of tils staying a mob that would have lynched a negro Who had murder ed In a most brutal manner Judge Wilson's own uncle, who was near ?nd. dear, to him. As Solicitor he pleaded with the mob and they mared the negro to meet a Jost fate at tho hands Of the law. TUC r/MfCDMAni a urea A /- ??

RICHMOND IS THE PLACE Wc favor Richmond for a regional bank. Wo naturally incline to Columbia, bm fear, that our own state has no chance In this big ar tair. We ha** 11111" sympathy, for while Atlanta is our near nelglihor, that cl?y has done nothing for South Carolina. Atlanta hos beon lukewarm to Anderdon in the matter of tho proposed extension of tho Interurban, aa the Chamber <>f Commerce of Atlanta ls dominated by the steam i.tllwoy lines. Atlanta ha* done nothing for South Car olina in times of stress, while Richmond and Baltimore have. Months ORO wo predicted that the democrats would give Richmond an oppor tunity to become the financial center of thp Ko??b.eastere state.?, and we hope that the prediction will come true. The king la dead; long lt\e the king. Watl Street has lost Hs hold on the South, tang may Richmond bc oar financial well spring.

CONGRESSMAN AIKEN SENDS HiSGREETINGS To The Daily Intelligencer-Com I .; p liment? the- Great County ! of Anderson ,.t i Editor of Daily,. Ander eou Intelli gencer: : ? * Anderson, S. C. ag It is with genuine pleasure I learn that the Intelligencer will he launched ? out Into the broader field ot daily <?....^i..?. Anderson was the first county in tho Btate to successfully maintain a dally newspaper, almost entirely on local support. In a city so loyal, sp full of public enterprise and all the essentials of progress, growth end development, lt would .scorn that the rucees? ot the Intelligencer in the daily field is as sured. My earliest impressions ot ibo peo niA of Anderson w^re that her citizen ship was composed of more good men than make up, the Ordinary vicinity. ' Thu) citizenship ls compact, working even for thc upbuilding of the city and ! county and working effectively because they. realise that i;> the growth and proaporlty ot their city ana county tliey themselves found prosperity. The -splendid circulation, about 5,000, with which you ?viii greet the good people ot Anderson county as Hiiro.i success In the beginning. With your experience and ability In news paper work, 1$. ia certain that tho Daily Intelligencer will {grow stronger with each day. pf 1th existence.

I'S. tunCDCflit le nnriT ?M???SUMI ia oncHi I Commends the Morning Intelligent - cer to the People of This Section Editor The Intelligencer: ?Some years ago In one of his cam paigns for tho rnited Stales senate, B, lt. fillnmn stated that Anderson was the best county in the State. Without wishing ta make invidious comparisons, I will say that Senator Tillman was always considered a man of wisdom and discernment. An derson is a great and a grand county. It is so because of the fact that so many of Its people are' white men who own their small farms' and are bocomiag independent. T:-." fact that you have produced this year something like 75,000 bales of colton shows that you ar? groat; the fact that the cotton crop?is no greater in proportion than the splen did harvest of ?.?al? grain; all of these things assure 'ne. that Ander son la tho greaten1 county in the Stce from ar. agricr.Uural standpoint. 1 am improssed furthermore, with the greatness of tho soul and spirit of the citizens of Anderson when they launch a morning .paper, taking thc complete Associated Press ser vice. This is a groat undertaking and I am sure that the people or your splendid Ilttl . city wJJ" appreciate lt You-have my oeat wishes and hearth lest congratulations. JOHN Q_ RICHARDS.
