In tile ll'.l y.sira that have passed since that dat?', the agitation hus gone under va rious forms. pacific and violent, kd by mich patriots na Daniel O'Connell, William Smith O'Brien, ? hurles Ste wart Parnell, O'Donovan Rosua and Michael Davitt, to mention only a few of the more prominent. These were sticceded by the Kedmouds und the Healeys who arc In the forefront ol the movement today. Thc patriotic movement waa sup pressed time after time by coorclvt acts passed by the Hritish Parliament only to taite another form. The Mol ly Maguires, the Young Irish party Hie Land. league band, the Nation al League, all were irish political so oldies which had their day Thousands of Irish nationalist! served terms of imprisonment foi their part io ?pa 1101 in the fight foi legislative independence from Gret. Britain. Hundreds were exiled, man: of them protesting, to the Unitci States. The parlimnentary fight for homi rule was waged for many decades am gave rise to extraordinary scenes it the u' nally Bte ld Hritish parliament often bringing about tho expulsion o members ond the stoppage of busl ness. Ti p first effort of the British gov ornmcot to meet tho demand for Iris] home rule was made by the late WU liam H wart Gladstone, when premie in 1886. The bill wau rejected afte Us introduction had been brough about against a split in the libera party. Since then several Irish hom rule bills have been Introduced b liberal governments and one passe tho house, but was rejected by th house of lords. This led to the pat sage three year ago of the par) ia ir ent act, under thc provisions of whic any bill not an appropriation bill r< ject. d hy the house of lords become automatically a law on passage by tl house of commons nt three succcsBh sesi?n?. The present agitation has bee mainly brought about hy the prac; cal certainly of Premier Asquith Irish home rule bill becoming a la without the consent of the house < lords. Sir Edward Carson is at tl head of the agitation against hon ru?? among the unionists of Ulste He and several other leading rat took the Initiative in organising an a my of elster volunteers to resist tl Identification of home rule f< Ireland in its entirety. They Inst that Pister Bhould be lett out of tl operation. The chief point in Ireland is the r iiglous oue. Out of a total populath of about 4.500,000 approximately 501 000 arc protestants ot various den minutions. Most of them are tout in the four Ulster counties of Londo deryy, Antrim, Armagh and Dosi The other five counties ot Ulster ? prodominent ly Catholic. There is a considerable difieren j between the people of thc eastern pt of Cst er au dtose ot the rest of Ii land. Many of the Cistolitos are di coudants or the English settlers *4 there hy Cromwell to foster the; og culture and industries of Ireland t ter he had subdued the country, . Others are descendatns ot Scotti covenanters. Not all the protestai of Ireland are against homo rule. Pt nell himself was a protestant. ANDERSON COLLEGE Our faith in Anderson College stronger today than ever. This is institution with a destiny. The wa ness of one human will under much outside pressure assures us tl the mission ot this college ls b ter understood tn some quarters tl we had thought, and that the rio> opment of this institution must ix mat u r of concern to some. The bushels of letters that hi poured in since it was announced t the General Education board of Ur.ttcd States was trying to get Pi Hunt! back into the field work h "beca so overwhelming In their peals that Anderson College has leased him from . the contract m upon the terms suggested by Hand. We now say that the destiny Ol derson College ls no\ understood the people o> this state or they wt not have don? this wron? vo a tu Institution.' The field and the foi o? this cortege ls greater than work in which Mr. Hand la enga for lt is organised aad caa take < of Itself, The people have seen only on? ot this matter. The state at li has beea'ietL nd doubt, to look v ai?f?rttmn Pnllf .? Mk m*r* oem at<- institution. But In all solemnity wc say to the people of the state that' Anderson Coll?ge is coming, and: coming fast. This college, founded hy plucky people, is looking far ahead. The duy will come when South Carolina will know Anderson College in a better and clover way. and the peoplefof the Whole state will he proud of Mic men and women who founded it. and proud of the men, who as trustees have hacked it wil ' private tor'.-nvs a?.d their personal honor, to become u magin'fceitt at of learning.

But th? real i cause of the disturbance ls to pre sent P. M. Burnett, secretary of the ". M. C. A from being sligted.

Come out, meu. and hear Jeter C.

We have been licensed of what is tanta mount to boorishness-in referring to certain invited guests witn a degree of lark of consideration. We would not deuy the sons of veterans of the state any of the hospitality which is theirs by the right of having accepted the invitation to Anderson. But we insist that the Sons of Veterans, the organization, should show some ex cuse for existence. The camp here In Anderson which is to meet Monday morning in one of few that has ever done anything for the old soldiers. There ?B a great and splendid work for the sons ot veterans to do. Let them realize lt and get to lt. There is history to be written, history to ho preserved. And when the reunion comes here, lt>t'a have something ior.tM* sous and daughters tn do. Let each-old snlrlier in the parade-and make it a short j march-have on the one side a glori'! ous young woman of the south to tell him that in thc year.-, to come his devotion to the starry cross wil not be forgot;and on the other aide let him lean upon the supporting arm of one of the sons of veterans who will give a pledge that SQ long, as tho sun warms this southland ot ours love for the Confederate soldier will never lan guish in the hearts of the youth. STA Mt BY THC SCHOOLS This week has in store a big oc casion for Andorson-the meeting of the schools of the county. Superin tendent Swearingen has recently paid some very high compliments to the schools of this county, and th? schools are the life of the country. We hope thc people of the city of Anderson will take a great desi of In treat in this gathering this week and will give by the'r personal alendante. every- on couragment to the great work that ls being carried on.

Mon's in South Carolina are concern ed. .' The enormous vote of 1312 and the recent near-scandal over the vVhaley-, Il uglies election in the brat congres sional district, will probably- bet used as arguments by the advocates of the primary elections reform. Judging by attitudes of opponents of primary el ection reform in the general assem bly, they will argue In the Democrat ic convention, that the primary of 1912 was above suspicion and that thc rules which governed tho election then are good enough to stay in effect in 1911. Senatorial " ampaign. There ls more than a possibility that the fight for the United States senate may develop Into a three-cor nered or four cornered affair before the campaign opens with Gov. Dlease Sen?tor Smith, W. F. Stevenson and John Gary IDva?s at corners Thc def inite announcements for the scnat race to date are those of Blease and Smith. Evaus is known, though, to bo in a very receptive frame of mind in re gard to entering the United States senate race, while Stevenson is be lieved ?o .haye his car on the ground. Blease aas recently spent some time in Charleston. In view of his recon ciliation, with Mayor Grace when the general assembly' visited Charleston in February hui trip is signiQcent. j Except for a visit to Laurens to at tend the burial of father-in-law, Sen-] ator Smith has not been in South t Carolina for some weeks.

JBVans baa recently vla ted various counlib^ -?nd stopped for awhile in Columbia. Stevenson has not been traveling much. He may stay out of the senate race and run against Finley for congress. There is a gambler's chance that Blease ' may not rna for the United States senate after all, but may offer for governor again.
