THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
Eloquence is a painting of a
thought, and those who, after buy
ing pair.'ed it, add something
more. make a picture instead cf a
portrait.-Pascal.
Anderson !*? My Town.-Aggressive
ls the' word. *
Old Winter ia the comeback kid
and-that-snow-Joke.
This is a regular United States
snow-general and enthusiastic.
This l?gislature is no friend of ours.
lt refused to repeal th? Income tax
law.
It is so easy to be a knocker when
hope deferred makes one get weary of
promises.

They get the most out of life who
put the most Into lt. Therefore, work
for your town.
Be merciful. Sprinkle corn meal
or bread crumbs on the snow and
feed the birds.
Gov. Blease must hate this state.
He threatens to call an extra session
of the siceral assembly. ?
The man who protects his stock in
this kind ot weather will get the best
results through the year.

If you have goods to sell, don't
' whisper. An advertisement in this
paper ls like using a megaphone.
In Albert W. Anderson the city of
Anderson has a staunch friend. He
> believes in the future of this city.
We have heard no general demand
for a two-cent railway tare. What
the people demand is better service.
Villa's stubborn behavior may be
the excuse which Jingoes have waited
for. We are nearer war than ever.
We are not blue over the Blue
Ridge. If we go after the Southern
railway hard enough, we may get re
sults.
The legislature Investigating com
mittee in exonerating Dr. Saunders
shows that some legislators have good
Judgment.
Secretary Whaloy's report of the
. year's activities of the chamber of
commerce should be read by every
man In Anderson.
Up to now the winter has been so
mild that even grasshoppers had not
been killed ont. But this snow is the
Utile old germ-?lxor.
The trouble about the encomiums
tor. Capt Geo. W. Sullivan, these
being heaped upon Anderson's sena
* compliments are not strong enough.
The young ladles of Anderson col
lege are gettlag out an illustrated an -
nual, the So rori an. It will be filled
with pictures of the prettiest girls in
America.

lias anybody undertaken to prove
Hutt conditions in Soul li Carolina
warrant the passing of a two cent rate
bill? Wc do not believe ii can be
done. Merely because it is within the
power of Die legislature to pass this
bili is no reason why it should be
done. Tit*? people will accept it and
be glad lo get lt. perhaps, but WC have
heard of no clamoring for it.
In fact, we believe wb'at the people
wish is service. Better equipment,
better connections] better service In
every way. And service cannot be
given if the revenues ?ir" reduced be
low the point where there is any
probt in tlie hauling of passengers.
No one wisiies to see the railrouds
made to lose money, and if they are
called upon we believe that they can
make a showing that the reduced rate
would t aille trains to be operated at
au actual loss.
This whole agitation grew out of
the discussion between the roads und
the traveling salesmen several years
ago, and we .suspect that the railroads
have brought this thing upon them
selves because they did not act in en
tire frankness wit li the traveling
men, who uaked for certain conces
sions in tlie way of having mileage
pulled on trains, etc.
If it eau be proved that the two
cent rate will not cripple the service
of the railroad cc-hipantes, we say
pasa the bill. But let us consider that
railroads pay about half of the taxes
of the state, and treat them not as
criminals, but as citizens, and If the
passage of a law would cripple the
roads, and lower the standard of
service, lt would be better to wltli
stay the power of tlie lawmaking
body. Thc very-*seor do not travel
much anyway, and such a law would
not help anybody who really needs it.
ALL HOW NOT FLED.
s a v
While the address of Mr. Fairfax
Harrison v. as a gem in its way. and
contained much of locul Interest, the
principal significance of bis visit waa
the fact that this is the first place in
South Carolina that he has visited
since he became the president of the
Southern railway. Mr. Harrison bas
a number of friends In Anderson, and
they talked with him about railroad
conditions. Ha was apprised of the
situation here.
As he said In his address, the great
trunk line of railway must be consid
ered as a whole and its highest inter
ests administered by the executive,
but lt is nlBO true that the great Sea
board Air' Line railway is constantly
Improving the property that it has,
and yet is reaching out through the
castal section of South Carolina and
in a few months will be running Into
the city of Charleston. Why should
not other roads do extension work?
It will pay, because lt will open, new
territory. As Col. Jayne* of Walhalla
said, lt would *ivfj*hp nwipi? .?? thc
-, m jr
world a great summer playground to
extend the Blue Ridge on to Knox
ville, opening wonderful reaches of
mountain country.
To those of his friends lu Anderson
to. whom Mr. H ari son talked he de
clared that the situation is not hope
less, but that If the .people of this sec
tion wish to get the road built they
must put lt up td the Southern rail
way tn such a mapnor ns to make its
force and effect apparent. The South
ern has too many, other big things on
foot to be hunting "^around for work
to do, but this undertaking might be
put through If the platter is handled
right and the pressure ls made suffi
cient.
TUKUL S THE DIFFERENCE.
We agree with oiir friend. Ed De
Camp, that '.bo phunnygraph writer of
the Columbia State Is one of the most
brilliant writers ito the country, but
when one ot those squibs is pointed
right at you it doesn't seem so funny.
Reminds you of Lee Holleman's story
about the old negro who lost $10 in
a bank failure. He had heard of such
things before, but this was the first
bank he had ever had to "bust right
in my face."
KIRKVILLE WETS A WOOD MAN.
We congratulate the people of
1 Yorkvllle In getting as a citizen Mr.
J. T. Btgham of Chester, and we con
gratulate the owners of tbs York
News upon getting kim aa editor and
manager. Mr. Dignam founded the
Chester Lantern and gave it an Indi
viduality possessed by few" papera in
this country. He is a man ot the
highest character. Is a writer of force
and ts well posted on current events.
Yorkville will get h good paper under
\ bbl direction. m ??i.

Why doc M coo gretta apead millions
of dollarrt irrigating deserta in the j
weat? Why not repair sume of tiie
damage don? the south hy tiie pluu-j
dering? of war and build ns good
roads with some of that money? Why
do people rush to these cheap lauds
ot the weat and of Canada, cheap be
cause they yield hut on?- crop a year?
Here in the south, where the crop
is equable, the farmer may produce
two crops on lils land, and some have;
growq Uiree crops In a year. Dur
own farmers should learn the prolit
bearlng nature of their investment
and engage more largely In diversified
agriculture. A ten-acre yield of hay
in Virginia yielded in one season 5.2
(ons to the acre, a nd profit of over
$52 per acre. Alfalfa produces from
four to six tons a year, and the price
ls from $20 to $2F? per ton. Thin is
the thing for our.furmers.
Without reference to his qualifica
tions for postmaster, we will say that,
after observation of and experience
with many offices, Manager J: E. How
ard of the Anderson Western I'nion
office is about the most capable and
accommodating official we have ever
met.
NOVELIST in: I.I VK Ks ADDRESS.
Winston Churchill Talks of the Really
of the Christian Experience.
Aiken, Feb. 25.-On Sunday morn
ing Winston Churchill, the noted lec
turer, author and former editor, deliv
ered an address on "The Reality of
the Christian Experience," at St.
Thaddeus' Episcopal church. Mr.
Churchill is one of Aiken's Interesting
winter tourists and of course the city
is glad that he ls here and a irrgo
crowd tooti advantage of the appor
tunlty to hear him last Sunday morn
ing.
Mr. Churchill ls the author of "Con
iston." "Frfcnard Carvel," "The Cross
ing," and other more or le?s interest
ing novels. His latest book, "The
Inside of tiie Cup," hus been widely re
viewed In both the I'nlted States and
in England und has received much
criticism. Not all of the criticisms
have been kindly but this ls probably
due to the fact that Mr. Churchill ex
pressed through his leading character
in this book, his own views of tho
present day Christianity. These views
are different and are creative of a
new topic of discussion.
Mr. Churchill's address, or rather
sermon, Sunday morning was on "The
Reality of the Christian Experience."
He said that at present there was a
wave of dissatisfaction sweeping ovor
the country and that this was a fore
runner O?' better things. Thir- wave
of discont ent,! or dissatisfaction, will
cause peuple to think, cause them to
realize where they are and what they
are doing.
MY. Churchill said that life was a
reality and so was the Christian ex
perience.
Mr. Churchill declared tha, now
everything was being dealt with In a
scientific way, the child problem, the
labor problem, the social evil, etc.
This is the better way and the way
that these things ought to be dealt
with. Science ls the hand maiden of
religion. The church like man is
both humVn and diviee.
The Joy of the Christian experience,I
Mr. Churchill said, was service 'and
that when anyone enters into the
service they will get the Joy and the
reality. The essential thing is fa*th,
without which wc can not work, for
we can not work for something that
we do not believe. We must realize
that we are making progr?s.
Religion ls a personal feeling with
God. Sometimes thia personal feel
ing is experienced at a time of sad
ness caused by the death of a very
dear friend or a member of the fam
ily.
Air. Churchill then discussed the
new energy that ia created by living
the Christian life. We can see what
the oew energy accomplishes but we
can not analyze it. We can only
Judge lt by Its fruits for language has
no power to describe lt.
He stated that Cod's program for
man ia work and that we must work
to accomplish. In . order tc have
radiance we must have the resistance
Uk the current of electricity that will
make a spark when there is enough of
resistance.

IN WAYS OF YOKE.
l remember, I remember,
The bouse where I was born;
My father took lt in exchange
For twenty acres <orn.
It seemed a bargain sure enough.
You would have traded, too.
But had we that much corn today.
We'd seek thc avenue.
I remember, I remera bor.
That, though we owned a cow.
We weren't then considered rich,
Like folks who have 'em now.
My mother churned the yellow cream
And when the butter came,
Wc traded it for calico
It never made I'S vain.
1 remember. I remember.
The folks, too, had a hen '
Worth many ttmes her weight In gold
But no one knew it then.
We took an egg 'most every day
And never once said 'Thanks,"
For when we had that barnyard mint
Eggs were not good at banks.
