A-modern hand extinguisher-the roliing pin. Watchful waiting In Anderson 'looking for pay day. , , Wonder how some women get around tho "fact that the Bible soys: "obey your husband." ' They say that strawberries are plentiful in Gaffney. Hut who wants to live In Gaffney? Things are never so bad as they mljcht be. Some people actually have to live in Ybrkrllle. A Boll Moose and an Elephant side by side would make two grand little exhibits for some museum. Two vsrietlea of peaches were seen In Anderson yesterday-one in bas kets abd the other In silt skirts. We heard yesterday that there are atilt three men in th? city who have not yet been "urged" to run for al derman. The editorial pago of the Columbia ?tate bore a most woe-begone look yesterday. There waa no "After math." At 12:01 this morning John Duncan waa still running for Governor and Cansler of Tlrsah is expected next week. ? People In Vicksburg, Miss., do not know what a treat ia in store for them. Porter Whaley will speak there next week. North Carolina isn't as bad as we thought. The people of one town In that state have given their newspaper editor a two week's vacation. Greenville county had a good rain yesterday-which leads ur to believe that there is some truth In the say ing "The devil takes care of his own." Tomorrow will tell the tale about tho Interurban league. If the asso ciation is formed there will no longer be any Eearclty of rain in this immediate section. Anderson surrendered to the Vet erans it ls not only about a fortnight until wo will have to run up the white flag again-the "Best People of Earth" are here in June. And now the uaual invest teat loo will be begun and learned men will endeavor for two weeks to place the blame of Friday's ship disaster. It will end like all the rest, with nothing .done. . I If the people of Anderson would give aa much time to working their farms, running their stores and at tending to their privato business aa they do working for some politicians, thi* would be a vastly richer county. Solicitor Kurt? P. Smith deserves ts be congratulated upon the splendid inunn.r Iji ?fh?Ch he hS?dlcd hi? TicW duties during the three weeks ot court just closed. Considering tho handi caps under which he labored. Mr. Smith discharged the duties of the ornee tn a moat capable manner. ? HALIUM KV OF KLMTION Al'??Vfc Tilt* first definite act fun taken in compliance willi Hu* rules recently adopted m Du- State convention will be the meeting* ol the County Kx?cu tlvi Committee to be held tomorrow. These will h?' very busy meetings und of the VT)' gr?aient Importun?e. At this meeting each county committee will proceed to "lay out und des?g nate each club dist riet .md its boun daries :is provided in these rules, und at thal lime may form any new clubs which they muy deem advis able.' The following are the qualifica tions-' for membership in a dub as provided in Section G ot the new rubs: ii. The qualifications for mem bership In any club of the party in this State, and for voting in a primary shall bo as follows: The applicant for membership or voter, shall be '?i years of age. or shall become so before the sue coed lug general election, and be a while Democrat. He >-nail be a citizen of the United States and of this state. No person shall be long to any club or vote in any primary unless he has resided In the State two yearn and the coun ty six months prior to the suc ceeding general election and In the club district ?ju days prior to the first primary following his offer to enroll: Provided. That puhlis school teachers and m lu - Itters of the gospel in charge of a regulur organized church shall be exempt from the provisions of this section, as to resilience, If otherwise qualified. It might be well to refer to the pen alties for fraudulent enrollment us provided In section ?170 of the criminal code: "Any person who shall fraudulently procure the regis tration of a name .or names on the party registration IlBts or the rolls, in violation of the party rules or otherwise or who shall aid, counsel or abot another In HO doing, either as to said fraudulent registration or said fraudulent attempts to vote, : hall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor and on conviction shall be punished by a (lue of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or be imprisoned for a term of not less than 20 nor more than 90 days, or both, at the discretion of the court." Thus it will be seen that the ma chinery for absolutely honest elec tions has been provided by the Slate convention and by the General As sembly. It remains for the voters to cheerfully acquiesce In these rules and thus insure that no crookedness can be charged to the primary this year. Honest men should be willing to abide the result of honest elections; others should be made to do so. . ANDERSON'S SCHOOLS Every Anderoonlah should feel proud of the records made by the ?chools of the city for the psst sed don. If the saying that one can judge a community by its churches and ita schools is true. Anderson snould have a very commendable pride in the judgment that will go forth wherever the ;-landing of her schools and her churches is known. A total enrollment of her schools of 3,588 during the past session 1B climbing at a very gratifying pace. Surely there is not much need of com pulsory education in this city. But lest wo bo misunderstood, we wish to 8?ute that if there ia one boy or .Tiri who has the capacity for learn ing, needlessly kept away from echool. the State should step In and see that such boy or girl ls given an opportunity to prepare for an equal hattie tn lire. With such schools as the city has, there is strong probability that the future Calhouns will continue to come from Anderson. We take off our hats to Superintendent McCants, his able faculty and the board of trustees for the splendid achievement. POLITICAL POT WILL BOIL. The political pot in Anderson coun ty will poon be bubbling over, and the present Indications are that there will be some lively doings a little later. Candidate* will begin to como thick and fast from vnow on, the issues de fined and the lines closely drawn. The expressed Intention of all the candidates is to conduct a clean and high toned campaign free from any mud slinging. This is greatly Te desired and lt ls hoped will be strictly adhered to during the entire cam paign. There are certain Issues to be discussed, and the people informed on such matters as they are not post ed upon. So there will be plenty of topics for discussion other than per sonal abuse or mud-sllnglng, and the Intelligencer hopes the candidate, or the candidates, who begins to lower the high plane will receive such a les son from the audience that no furth er attempt will be made. The report Just ,mai)c public of the attendance at the city schools or Anderson during the past session ls Very tine ?ndeed and tbs school au thorities are to be complimented, but nevertheless it must still bi? admitted thst there were hundreds ot boya and girls ont of school when they should have been made to attend.

Wal terboro bas had four sessions of the Colleton County Fair, and each one has been better titan the on?- pre ceding. Barnwell luis proved that county fair* ar?? profitable, lo say nothing of fairs held in other places in the stat. . Another example comes to mind from another state. Hopkinsvillc, Ky., ia a little city much like Anderson, tiiough not HO populous. It is the tenter of the Pennyroyal district of Kentucky and lias surrounding it fer tile fanning lands. No cotton <B grown or manufacturede there, hut (here are great amounts of wheat and grain grown, and some good live stock. The people are independent and prosperous. Last year lt was de dil, d to organize a Pennyroyal fair, and the chamber of commerce got busy and put up the necessary build ings and ti liulf mile race track was laid off. The fair was one of the most successful ?ver held In that state, and paid the stockholders almost a hundred per cent dividend. The peo ple flocked into Hopkinsville from ev evry side by the thousands, and the city got rome of the beat advertising that could possibly have buen given. This year plans are under way for making it greller and grander than last year. What the Pennproyal city has done, can be done In Anderson by a great Piedmont fair. What has Secretary Whaley and thc chamber of commerce to Kay on the subject? SAMES OF THK ORIGINAL STATES It will no doubt surprise most of I us to realize, when our attention ls called to it, how little we know of the origin of such familiar names as thoae of the thirteen original colonies that declared their independence of Great Britain and- fought the war of Am erican liberty more than a century and one third ago. The following article contains some facts that will doubtless prove new to many: New Hampshire waa named from Hampshire, England, from which country many of the early settlers came. Massachusetts was so called from the Indian word meaning Great Hills Place, probably from the heights of land near Boston. Kinnie Island was called Rhode Eye landt by the Dutch because of the red cranberries which covered the largest island in Narragansett Bay. Connecticut was clied Quoneckta cut by the Indians, meaning Long Ri ver, and the settlers applied it to the colony. New York, Ors*' eaiied Now Nether lands by the Dutch, was changed in honor of James, Duke ot York, to whom his brother, Charlea II gave large grants In the colony. New Jersey was named for Slr Geo. Carterct. Governor of the Islaiid of Jorsey. It was originally called Nova Cacserea, "Now Caeaar. Pennsylvania, meaning Penn's woodland from the Latin.sylvania and William Penn. Delaware was named from Lord de la Warr, one of the early proprietors. Maryland after Henrietta Maria, the Queen of Charles I of England, at the rennest of the King in the proprie tors. Virginia, named after Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen of England. North and South Carolina, original ly Carolina after Charles IX (Caro lus) of France. Georgia, named after George II of England, who chartered it aa a colo ny in 1732.-The Columbia Record. Land* at Vera (rus.

SO.-Special:-Rural telephones are beginning to play Juat ne important if not more important part than either rural free delivery or parcels post, in putting the farmer on an economical equality with the city business man. The growth of rural telephones on the lines ot the Southern Bell throughout Georgia and other south ern states is as Interesting as a ro mance. A generation ago the average farmer waa isolated. Today he Is no more 1er *ed than hts city 'neigh bors. It is directly as Ute results of these facilities that the-average southern rmer baa developed into a compe-, nt business man. a salesman of hie or n products, as well aa a, producer of them. Tho day-has passed forever when tho fermer laboriously loads his cross on wagons and ta^es them to Mraounty sfat and theu either sells I them or not at prices which may or may Pot be below normal. Today the faxmeVwlth a telephone uses the wiree to two or three iowas before deciding where he will market his wares; ead often makes,tho actual sales over the wires before he even starts tc load his warona.

Duncan, of Co lumbia, lost his first step toward that end when tho supreme court refused Friday to hear his verbal motion for a review of his case or to accept for filing a written motion, advising him to make such before Attorney Gen eral Thomas H.

After the refusal of the court to hear him. Mr. Duncan did not state what would he his next step in his effort to seeure re-inrtatement before tho bar.

FARM AT CLEMSON MAKING MONEY I Use of Modern .Machinery and Modem Methods Resulting In . Large Yields Clemson College, May 30.- That Clemaon College -ls able not only to tell others how to make money by farming, but also to make money for Itself on Ita farm ls demonstrated by figures which have Just been given out by L. B. Brandon, superintend ent of the college farm. Among other -things it ia shown that Ute farm now baa to Its credit about $3.500 and haa about $2,000 worth ot corn and hay for ^-!r The farm, which is under the general direction ot Prof. J. N. Harper, director of the Experiment Station and or the agri cultural department, had a moat suc cessful year in 1913. One ot the moat important rectors tn the pro duction of large crops on this farm waa the use of modern machinery. In 1918 the college farm produced 8.000 bushels ot core. 495 tona of silage, 4,500 bushels of oats. 24 bales ot cotton (on 18 acree), 150 bushels of peas and enough hay to feed 40 head ot mule? and Morses, with a sur plus ot.six carloads for ?ale, This year Die .-fenn--will make ?bout s.&aa jvn.K?u =; -on 85 acres. Thees oat? are about ready for cutting and three large binders will be used In thia work. They are pure appler oats and will be sold as seed. When the oats ara wei) out of the'w&y these 85 acres will be sown tn peas and sorghum, for hay. I Ia addition, the farm ia being plant ed . in 266 acres of corn and 65 acres of cotton. The horse and man power used In preparing and planting this acreage ia a follows: one thirty horse power, oil pull tractor; 18 mutee, working 6 two-horse .plows, 2 two-row plant ers and a smoothing harrow; and 14 men. The tractor used on the college farm has a plowing, capacity of about fifty minutes and can cover nine acres a day under ordinarily favorable clrcumaiaacee. It is an oil-pull tractor and practically all danger to the crops from tire is eliminated. . The plowing capacity of the' farm la approximately one hundred aerea a week, enabling Ute superintendent and his men to seise on every favor able season for work, no matter how abort lt may be. The use of modern farm machinery eliminates delays and often meena saving crops which might otherwise be lost because season o favorable to working were too short to allow the necessary acreage to be covered by inferior machinery. Another advantage of a machine such aa a tractor on largo farms ia the elimination of time of the men ?nd mules, two of the most expensive factors in makins crops. *.
