We present toeay some testimonials as to the efficacy, of the commission form of government for the manage ment of a city's buatross. M this time there can be considered in this nb reflection upon any parsons, nov? or. in the immediate or In the remote past. It ts merely this: that the world has awakened to a new idea of ban di lag bu&iseos matters hy makins it somebody's business to attend-to the business .which has beer, everybody's . business, and therefore nobody's busi ness. One of the greatest Illustrations ti the. value of the commission form of . government ls the development of the city ot Columbia, Of this little need be said, tor the people ot Anderson have:*atobed lt closely, and turfier . more the Chamber ot Commerce last year enjoyed a moat interesting talk front one of the commissioners, Hr. Stifiglits. We present, ?oday a state ment from MA?TU* -V. II: Olbbei, and we think that it ls clear enough tor -iUybody. . The city of Orangobnrg has recentlyj adopted the commission form of gov- ' hm^i aa et- ^ FTe^*Mt?n*tnaker, editor of .the Qr angeburg Star, who hiky?liUka very ac ;.-/eJ> in favor of the commission form, if we are not mistaken. We did no. .try to pick men who favored the commission form of government. Or angehurg favors the pian, and lt has Succeeded there, in e; toity smaller than Anderson. Paul V.
