Those who are suspicious by nature ami ready to itu injury to others ur lo lie upon them may have regarded this com pany as Incapable ot doing uiiythiug for Anderson. This is one of several things (hat may he done for the henelit of the city if the company is not disgusted by petty earplugs from sore heads. Someone h.ts called attention to the half fact that Oreen wood rents power from this company and retails tl lo Hie people of that eily ut 0 cents. As a matter ol fact that !? cents is no sav ing to the people of Greenwood, even AW Corporate Wo ure all opposed to the combin ation of capital to the extent wherein it shall become oppressive. The commonwealth should never and will never permit the organization of a cotton mill merger that would place the happiness of many operatives en tirely in tile hands of one person. Hut we have observed that those who are most largely interested In manu factures ure the ones most deeply con cerned in the welfare of their peo ple. They realize that the people must lie healthy and happy if industry must thrive. When we hear cotton mill manag ers "cussed out" by E. D. Smith and other men seeking public office, some of them in the governor's race, we t!ear that they have either jumped to conclusions or have purposely ns Bumed a wrong position in order to get votes. We see it stilted that Dr. <'link scales has attacked mill corporations and Mr. Parker In particular. He is but hali right. There should be some remedial legislation, no doubt, but be fore ubusing a splendid citizen, a man who is a credit to South Carolina, let us see whut the facts are. Doesn't Dr. Clinkscales know that the so-called "Parker mills," are cot ton factories that were absolutely in solvent, wrecked by plunging, specu lating, gambling mill projectors, and that Mr. Parker merely was called upon to pick up the fruyed strand* and to do the best he could to tio them back. Inly a, substantial rope? Well, that ls a fact. Mr. Parker was Abo president and manager ot some mills which he promoted, and there haB never been a word of criticism of these institutions. 1 Helter for him if he hud never touch- 1 ed these insolvent milts which were 1 syndicated with the hope that he 1 would pull them through. What he 1 has accomplished we do no', know. 1 but we have heard that he hus restor- 1 ed order out of chuos and is gradual- ' ly getting the mills on substantial ba- < sis. The stockholders may have \ been hurt by tho acts ot Mr. Parker's predecessors, but lt ls his brain and 1 his daring which has kept thc pay > roll going. And that ls great. I Hut it ls like putting upon his feet < a person who has been 111 of a rever. 1 It is a long time before he can walk, i THE COST OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. According to a recent BVatement by , Dr. William H. Calllcotte. the Color oda state superintendent of morai and humane education, the United States loses annually, through cruelty to dumb beasts $2,000.000. Ile de clares that such cruelty not only causes this immense economic loss to the country, but is also one of the chief cnuses of crime. "Unless children learn to feel for the sufferings of animals, we mny ho Mire that they will never lead help ful, upright lives when they become older. They must be sensitized to suffering and the best way to arouse the best in them ie to appeal to thurn to aid animals which cannot aid them selves. When every child has learn ed to be thoughtful of these friends we will no longer need prisons and fines, for there will be no criminals." Dr. Calllcotte goes on to say that we lose, annually $2.000.000 from mis treatment of cattle, the same amount for not caring for horses. $150.000,000 from giving dairy cows unsanitary quarters and poor food, and $800. 000.000 because bf the destruction of birds. If proper treatment were ac corded these creatures he claims, tht, cost nf living would be reduced 25 per I cent, and we would also he able to prevent 50 per cent of the diseases which ravage the country. Cruelty to animals may be exhibited tn the summer as well as in winter. The horse should be allowed as much shade as possible, Rest tho horse in climbing steep hills. In cities drink ing fountains should be kept lean. The tolling creatures should be m.\de as comfortable os possible. Kindness cost nothing and it pays fcrea't dividends. i a Good Rate when compared with tin- ll couts that thc cum party luis huon charging here before the change. Ker the company here puys taxes, ami franchise taxes, ami license taxes li ml in other ways | iront r ibu tes to the success and up building of Anderson, whereas in Oreen wood the residents even have to| pay for the renewal of lamps, when their globes burn out and pay a meter rent and other things that ure not charged against the consumer here. In addition to that the Company here is liable for a:: damage, and in Green wood tile eily may be sued for dam ages. Tue 10 cent rate here, less taxes and other things paid hy the company would he equivalent to 7 1-2 cents In Greenwood perhaps. ons Not Bad And surely for this none will blame the doctor who lias taken the patient hy the hand nf healing and led him out of tile shadowy valley and placed him out in the open sunshine again' "Twas not thu doctor who made him become ill. In his relation to lils stockholders, we therefore consider Mr. Parker not only blameless, but a stalwart cham pion of their rights. As to other in sinuations made by candidates for office: Can the Parker Cotton Mills com pany, controlling only 1 1-2 per cent, of the spindles of the country, be re garded as interfering with competi tion? Investigation shows that the as sessment of the mills controlled by this company is fully as great as, if j not greater than, the average assess ments of the other mills of the state. J This company has not endeavored to evade any portion of its Just burdens. Thc assessment on the mills of this company have met with the approval of the county and state board of i equalization, the tribunals appointed by law to determine these matters. Investigation also shows that this company ls paying fully as much for labor as ls being paid by other mills In this state. As a matter of fact the I effort of the company has been to manufacture a finer grade of goods, involving greater skill and higher price for labor. There has been a continuous ef fort on the part of this company to better the condition cn' its employes, to assist in their education and to | ralfe their ideal*-, and standards. lu short, ti is found that the mills nmipasing the Parker group were I ninny nf them purchased on the verge) nt falure and are iodu; paying thou lands of dollars Into the treasury of the state, employing thousands of men who otherwise would be seeking employment elsewhere und consum ing hundreds of hales of cotton that | itherwlse would of necessity seek an other market. We feel sure that no reasonable nan who stops to consider one mo ncnt will believe that this mill com iinny dictates the wages for labor or | he price of cotton, using, as it dqes, ess than 1 per cent, of the cotton rrown in the United States. THE WHEREFORE OF IT. ? When we get down to "hrass tacks.' 1 he reason John L. Mci.auria's espou- 1 al of certain things was not accept i'd enthusiastically was because be ? was looked upon as too recent a con- t tert to bc after the biggest Job in the * whole congregation. * Speaking to the Farmers' Union in ( "olunibla on Friday, July 26th, 1912, s Senator Mcl.aurIn said: "Politics in 1 he state is rotten. You (farmers) lave a majority of the vot,eB; you have ont roi of the situation. If you get I ti ilgb prices and create wealth, lt is | ' vorth knowing without the blessing >f good government, clean govern nent. law, order and civilization." From an anti-Blease county Mr. sic Lau rin was a few weeks later sent ll the state senate, and for that roa ion it is a natural deduction that he | [ var. regarded as In line with the peo )le of his county. He is a brilliant nan and would have made the state a cood governor, but the people of leither side seemed to care for him \ n'tor his cbange of front. t And it ls so with Mr. Richards. He a acks the personality of Mr. McLaurln ie is a man of limited mental force, nit on account of hts long and dill tent work in public life be bad built Ia ip a political following. It ia not I " he fact that he has espoused Blease sm that ?ill hurt with some of bis >ld friends ; and lt Is not that whteh viii keep many Blease people from ooklng with favor upon his candi lacy It is the fact that he did not takeM1 luch a aland two years ago when it would have required courage. Mr. Irby and Mr. Sims experienced he ostracism of many good friends | f For the stand they took, but Mr. Richards got political plac? at tho f muds of the people. If THREE EXPRESS CARRIERS MUST DEFEND COURSE Rebels Ask For Restraining Order to Stop Pesos' Delivery Washington, July 3.-Justice Ander son, of the District Supreme Court, signed un order here tonight direct Inn three express companies to show cause Munday why they should not he enjoined irora delivering several mil lion pesos in new currency engraved in Washington for the Mexican Con stitutionalists. The shipment is en route to El Paso and Constitutionalists agents assert tiley lear it will fall into unfriendly hands. The application for the order was Villareal, secretary of the treasury in General Carranzas cabinet, who charges that his forwarding agent. Santiago S. Winfield, did not ship the notes in " the proper manner." Dut consigned them to himself or'a con federule The court proceedings were Inter prated here as another development In the differences between Carranza and Villa. The application does not act as a restraining order. If they see fit, the express com panies- -Adams, Wells Fargo and Southern-may deliver the consign ment before Monday when the court order is returnable here. The petition states that last April Villareal entered Into an agreement with a Wushington engraving com pany to print 17.400.000 notes for the Constitutionalists, to be delivered to Villareal or in accordance with hts direction. Winfield was left In Wash ington as forwarding agent. Some of the notes reached Villareal, the peti tion stateB, but the final installment was not shipped as he bad instructed. There is danger, the petition declares, that the money will "be diverted from the Constitutionalists cause." Winfield Is said to be an adherent :>f General Villa.

To the Hoard of Trustees of the | Public Library of Anderson: I have the pleasure of presenting to] rou the seventh annual report of the] Public Library, beginning May the I. 1lit:i. and cndlngJMay, 1. 1914. During the year two hundred andi dxty five hooks have been added-to| he library, of this number one Hun Ired and forty four are class and ref-I 'renee books, the remaining one hun-. Ired and twenty -one are children's') woks and novels. AB the insurance policies on our iroperty for thre years had- to he re? lewed this year we nrn unable to add is many books to the fiction and chll Iren'B departments BB have been need-| 'd. In the adult department eleven housand, one hundred and sixty-three looks have been circulated, of this lumber one thousand, three hundred ind twenty three were class books. In the children's department four housand. eight hundred and twenty ?ne books have been circulated, of his number four thousand, three hun Ired and thirty seven were story .ooks. four hundred eighty four were ias* books. The circulation of books n both departments ls fifteen thous ind, nine hundred and eighty-four.] hree hundred and sixty three lena] ban last year. .

As shown from the troasur?fcis^ro iort we have expended only the small I um of ?16K.62 for chilurou's books, j iction and periodicals.'-1 am ?also in ormed by the treasurer that .the he prospects for purchasing books or these'departments during the co?n ng vear aro not very good. Many i our members have read practically II ot the books In thess departments, n view of this condition o? i ffa.rs, Il ecommend that a rent collection of ] looks consisting f,of, tile .latest and | est novels ,be.placed in the flciion.de? artov nt. i--iviU"r,yf lan tl rairy?l nay borrow, thea*' boote?'?by paying one designated amount each day hat the book ls borrowed. This plan as been adopted in many of thc Car logie Libraries lu other placen and ias worked very satisfactorily.

The refer nce department ls amply supplied I y the income from the Jos. N.
