That "is a correct statement. The trustees In thoir earnestness to be cautious may not have appreciated, perhaps, the great wrong done to the public service company by a n.lsji ud !ug statement heralded to the world ai coming from the board. In tho statement it was nlleged that the board refused to pay the water bill when presented tho first month be cause tbey felt that tbe company had no valid contract. This paper later priuted tbe truth of tho matter, which was that the board had refused to allow itself to be used by Botne one or other in a cuto scheme to discredit tho public utilities company. The board did not favor the proposition, and wo have been Inform ed by some of the members that the publication put tho board In a false light. For that reason, ho douht. tho board was overly cautious uooti the receipt of the leticr of Mr. Taylor. Hut the board never, denied in the source ill which originated that it ha 1 Ih-ci ( tu in a false fight, and by Its official silence, gave dignity to a crude piece of work. It .vac that fact.which led Mr Tay lor to appeal to the board for con sldcrat'on, and If we have an-?' criti cism of the board at all it Is merely because no attention was paid to Mr. Taylor's letter. And now as to the board of trus t?e?. Tain yapvr nus neve- ?-, au/ way, shape or manner reflected upon (he board. Wo realise tho responsibi lity-of those gentlemen. We sppreclate the fact that this board as at present conn??iu?e? nus cauBed a great and wonderful transformation in the school system of Anderson. The writer realised the. effort and worry of members of the board to ?et hew school buildings here to take y ?are of the over-c*owdlrig of the f)tiildlngs In use one year ago. The board undertook a thankless work in which they'might'have been subject od :o criticism from th?'same class of people who novr^'aro throwing their j* .ats in the air and "whooping Vm up' lor the board.

C0OIM1YF, MB. DICKEY Lincoln G. Dlckey, superintendent of tho Anderson Chautauqua was Riven an ovation the last night lie was in Anderson. He was just the man for Anderson with the instituting of the Chautauqua series here, and be ie the man who kept everything fpovlng, smoothly. Put he has nut gone never to visit ub again. Indeed we look forward to an early visit from him, for we understand that arrangements are practically com pleted by which ho will bring to An derson in tho winter a conference of powerful speakers on religious topics. We - have heard the name of Len p: Broughton mentioned, for instance. Mr. Dickey is not sure that Dr. Droughton is available, but wc men tion this name to Indicate th,e general run of tho speakers that he bas in view. If Anderson gets this treat during the winter will be duo to the efforts of that sterling citizen of ours, Fred M. Durnctt, whoso heart is in Ander son and his aoul Is In his great work here. The details of this proposition will be announced later. Wc do not know what they are. Mr. Burnett, by tho way, was greatly uplifted Sunday by the stir ring address' of Dr. Spraguo who lec tured to the Baraca class of tho First Baptist church on the subjoct of in stitutional work and declared that ono at Anderson's greatest needs is a powerful Y. M. C. A. in a suitable home. Mr. Burnett was not in the city at the time, but the reports of the re ception given ; Dr. Spraguc's address aavo encouraged him greatly in his work. Lincoln G. Dickey's last work in An lorson wasn tearing down the big tent. On account of the scarcity of legro help?and to persons attending Lhe Chautauqua it would apear from the number of magpies around the legro nuisance opposite the city hall :hat there was not enough work in ho world for negroea to d??on ac count of the scarcity of negro help, Vir. Dickey worked on tearing downi he big test just as as ordinary caa rassnrca with a circus. By the kindly crocks of that good citizen, Capt. John L Anderson, superintendent of the 31ue Ridge, Mr. Dickey was able ,to tet the .train for Seneca held for, a lalf hour and was able to get away to ioldshoro, N.

Two days will be spent in Para, on May 7, the party will leave for New York by way of Barbados. Speaking of bis explorations the colonel said: "The most important part of our trip wus geographica!. In the explora tion of an unknown river, we have put on.the map a river nearly 1,000 miles long, the existence of which is not hinted at on published maps. The upp^r part of its^ou'rso was utterly unknown to anybody except the wild Indians along its banks, while the low er part was known to n fow rubber men only. "Two sets of rapids were at the bbt <m of canyons where the river clove its way through mountain chains. "Of the seven canoes'With which we started live were lost in the rapids. One of our men was drowned and two otbi/.vV Irjcludiny Korjuit, narrowly escaped death by drowning. "Under tho strain one man went mad.
