In fact it appears that there is some sinister and subtle in fluence at work In this matter and that the school board is without its knowledge being used to rake the chestnuts out of the fire. There appears to be a determined effort to discredit the Southern Public Utilities Company by having it as sume an aggressive attitudo that would make it offensive to the people of Anderson. A careful reading of the letter of Preet. Z. V. Taylor pub lished In these columns some, days ago shows that he appealed to the school trustees to protect his com pany, as certain misleading state ments had emanated as coming from the board and had not been denied in the same manner. Mr. Taylor asked for a construc tive case to be made, stating clearly that be did not wish to cut off the water from the schools. The school board has not accepted the invitation to test the matter in the courts. In fact tho board aays that it not at tacking in the rights of the company, but merely questions the authority of the company to charge the schools for water. In the controversy, which the com pany has not sought, the public in Anderson should bear In mind a few things on the equity side of this prop osition. One of them is that, proceeding un der a contract given by the city of Anderson, a large sum of money has already been expended converting the Portman Shoals plant into conformi ty with the rest of the power furnish ed by the Southern Public Utilities Company. I Another fact is that the Southern Public Utiltiea company has ordered ,ib? pipe =sd is preparing to lay tts u>alns to give Anderson the service tl at w?'ild have been used now but for the delay in arriving at a settle ment of the terms of the new contract There has been some eovert insin uation that the "white way" was fost ered by the Public Utilities company, when the\fact is that there will be an immediate expenditure of 910,000 .by the company to give this to the city. The company has an able attorney who will look after its interest* in eourt, and, upon Jthat matter we have no comment to make, but we do warn the pnbllo not to censure the company for standing up for its rights when this matter has been pushed on it, and we recommend the just judgment of the community to aeek out the cause of this whole tempest in a teapot Jf any of 0?*? ?iti**3* Of the *0?W??? nlty wish to test the validity of the contract gvaated by elty council, why did they not as Individuals refuse to pay the light and. water bill? under the new contract, a eoutraci by ike way, which Is reducing the cost of these commodities? Why was the school board brought into this aat tert . If there is, aa there appears to bo, a direct effort being mode to discyedJt and make ; unpopular this public ser vice company, the people should look for the deep, underlying cause. And saying this we do not criticise the school board, for there is every prob sbtMty that *b> board Is not impelled by any such motives, but wishes merely to be on the safe aide under its own responsibilities. The Public Service company- has been , so much abused by loose ton gues that It appeals for a day in court?

Anderson has a splendid reputation for hospitality throughout the country and there la much to be done to make this great occasion a success. We must do everything to make the old soldiers happy. Whut Is more lovely than to see the little ones attending upon the vener able? Why should not the children of Anderson have a part In making a success of this reunion? There have been reunions in this state which have been made memorable because of the ^children. We caU upon .he teachers of the city of Anderson and of Anderson county to lend their aid. There should be an organization of "BoF''Scouts','* to see that the old sol diers are taken good care of, that they are waited upon and made to feel that we love them and love the "cause" for which they offered their lives. Will not some military person organize the boys of Anderson into a company to day, ready to work and to give their time to; making others happy?. It would be a tremndous asset for An derson to have our boys organized in to something. If too late to become scouts, they, might have merely,a local organisation. Such a step would ac custom our boys to discipline, would make them even more manly and self reliant, and would cultivate that greatest of all graces, unselfishness. The most, beautiful reunion feature In recent years in this state was by the children of Columbia. Clad in snowy dresses with red sashes and red hair ribbons, the colora of the Confederacy, they strewed flowers be fore the -veterans, who could not re strain their tears when memory car ried them back to the rugged, rocky hills they had climbed, shoeless, In the. face of a rain of lead of death, and when they assembled at the place of meeting these same little ones caused the old fellows' cup of joy te brim all over , when they sang the airs which made many a charge go down into history as among the moat valiant of ail the deeds of tho wars of the Give our good women and happy Children, a part in the reunion and It will bq known as the happiest occa sion of the kind in the history of the State.

MEDICAL INSPECTION (Laurers Advertiser.) That facts are stronger than theory and that truth outweighs false char ges are well illustrated In a letter of Superintendent Fra&k Evans of the LSpartanburg city schools dealing with .flavernor Blease's speech in opposi tion to the medical inspection of, the school children. His letter is found elsewhere In this Issue, Mr. Brans v?fcc8 the example of the inspection of school children as carried out in Spurtanhurg to show that the children have been greatly benefittod by it, and that they have not been subjected to add measures which would jar the most delicate sensibilities. In fact, Mr. Evans stated that the onlyparen tal objection met with came from the Christian scientists, who do uot be lieve in the effectiveness of medicine at all. He .goes further and submits the inspection blank in use' to show the medical inspection or school chil dren does not imply an encroachment upon parental authority. Why the poorer people of this state deceive themselves about the measures or allow themeslves to be deceived, we are at a loss to understand In the face of such arguments and facts as have been put. up to support its need. Medical inspection of the school children is nothing more nor leas than the state providing that super vision by trained physicians , for all children which only the children of rich parents can afford now and pro* viding for the protection of th? heal thy'child from the diseased.
