Teddy is the pitcher that went to tbs well once too often. The buttle cry of the bull moose is "bunk," short for bunkum. Money talks and it has too free a way of saying "good-bye." -o It ls wicked to play poker the wa> that some persons play it. The senatorial candidates have no one subject talk with i twang. -o Every candidate for office is cer taintainly popular with himself. A slender girl of IR with fat ances tors bas a heavy Inheritance tax. o One way for a man to keep his tem per ?B not to read a woman's maga sine. i . o The man in a crowd who "heckles" j might "hockle" when alone and face to face. If there is nothing of force In a speaker's words, why should he he "heckled"? We trust that the long drouth kill ed the germs of tho army worm "and sick." -o The Monroe doctrino was written before the days of the big battle ships and Terrors. ' --o The senatorial candidates hnv no regular speaking date until next Thursday at Union. One of the'issues oi the last state campaign was Ben Stothart. What bas become of him? People behave as hadly at campaign meetings in thjs stute as the suffra gettes do in London. The church should he of great help to the country in dealing with prob lems in a political way. -o NoAb waa 600 years old when he Mitit the ark,.but he roust have learn ed tho grape habit early. .' ?-o "Lifo is not so short but that there ls time enough for courtesy," is one ot Emerson's greatest sayings. -o The after-math colyttm of the Co lumbia State has gone to Chick Springs to study lager-rytbms. ? ? o It requires no compulsory educa tion for politicians to learn thc mean ing of the Latin words, "per diem." --o-m ; Doctor Quiet and Doctor Quiet are Dean Swift's physicians who do not get consulted sufficiently these days.

A IM. i it Vi l li, trniiMilhc; lu tease or anno), to warr) pcrsl-tcntl). Thal Is what Noah Webster's un abridged gives as UK- meaning of a wort! appearing in lin- dispatches all ino frequently in describing lim meetings in whhrli Hiv candidates for nilli!!! In this stale an- supposed to iiK'i-t in Joint debate to discuss mat tern fur the Koori of the ronni ry. And the origin of the gumbol of Hie t-utididulcs livor th- hills of green clari with voles was to eriui'lite! "A campaign of education" it was called. When t io ver nor Blouse attacked Sen ator Smith's record at a speech in Orangchurg ami was annoyed hy the crowd, mostly farmers, this paper de plored it. And we now deplore th? discourteous treatment accorded Senator Smith at Spartunbtll'g. It is not good Kportsiuanship. Seuulor Smith had nut said a worri about Governor Itleusc when liv was set ini on ami "heckled." Had he altai ite l Governor Iliense and in a manner tor ilhe Governor's friends lo resent it. there might even have liven question ns lo the propriety anil good sports manship of the act. Wc can't under stand why thc crowd didn't "heitMe" Messrs Pollock and Jennings, i .;. Governor HI -ase tor that matter, for there appears to have been a large crowd of opposition to him there. No. lt was not good sport. If Sena tor Smith was trying to take ,? Joh away from Governor Hloas^, If he were making red hot charges rot supported by the facts, lt might lie a dlttervnt proposition, hut he is now the representative in part of ibis great state in Hie United Sta? *a sen ate; he is contenting himself in this race with giving an account o? what he has done In the senute. It id due his position that the people should hear him. We hope that the people of Ander son, al] factions and all alignments, will go to the speaking here, and throughout the county, determined not to disturb any speaker unless he disgraces himself and his state, and tn give all a elobc and attentive audi and to whoop 'om up for the respect ive favorites and go to the polls and vole just us heavy as possible for them, but. do not let us have any "heckling" in this county. Anderson county ls on? of Govern or meuse's strongholds, was two years ago by a tremendous majority and is yet, no doubt. If his oppon ents are treated discourteously here, il wili go out all over the State that governor's friends did it. and he showed by his action at Spartanhurg Saturday that it was distasteful to him to have his opponents treated io such u manner. There is no harm In "guying" a candidate n little bit. hut don't play too rough or too persis tently, and don't "heckle." "THE CHICKEN HOCHE OF GEOR "Aw. ther ain't no money In chick ens. Haven't I done fried lt. and don't I know." That ls something that we have all hoard at ono time or another. And there Is more or less truth In lt. If we depend upon the local market entirely, we would find that some times chickens would tint bring the best nf prices. Gut, suppose we had a shipping market with Anderson handling the poultry produced within a rutilus of 20 miles? Can't be done, you say? That is laziness. Anything can bc done. Failures lu the past might mean merely that there was not a auftlclenl amount of cooperation smong all who were interested in thir proposition. Gulnsville, Ga., is not better situat ed thun Anderson, and yet we see the following in the Gainesville News: Some ono has recently called (laine:-ville the "chicken house of Georgia." This ts true in a large measure for we thlp chick ens not only, all over Georgia, but to other states as well. Our chicken and egg business amounts to more than half a million dol lars annually. People of Anderson, city and coun ty, get together on this poultry prop orltlon. We see crates of chickens dally going through from Walhalla to Charleston. Why not have cars where crates are now handled? It can be done, chickens may roquiro some attontlon to make the business profitable, and that is all the more reason why tho poultry business should be undertaken in a more systematic manner. Why not have poultry clubs along ?very line of rural free delivery in the county? If the people In the coun ty knew how much in demand chick ens are tn the city, they would pro duce more, and by keeping In touch with the Chamber of Commerce it would be necessary to bring them to town only when there was a scarcity. Anderson college will need a lot of pickles and preserves and Jelly. Here is an opportunity for Anderson coun ty housewives. Tili: HUNTY Sf'HOOL The Behool house should be the ren ier of population. Around it the young Htid the old should allow their Inicrer.l to center sunt affections to fling, ls the school houHC nt Imlay, in all its neatness lind lieauty, as (.'IOHO to tin* hearts of the people as was the "old fashioned H<:linol hotiae" wileri* many nf our best mon of today got their ?lari in letters through the intensive system, in? hiding tin- hick ory withe? The Keim?l house hliould tu-ver lie (doned. It should always lie Hie place lor neighborhood gatherings. Along tilts line President Woodrow Wilson says: "There ia or.? thing in which I have boen very much Interested in recent years. "You know I used to ho a schoolmaster and (lie interesting thing about the schools of lite l ulled Stall's ls thal the United States makes MI little use of them. "For example. you lake i ur r.chool houses all through th" countryside, standing here, 'hen ani! everywhere in the cities, and they are closed for the most patt between the school session of one day and the school session -if the next day. Tiley are pilbil*: buildings. They beliing to the communities. They furnish ideal places in which to assemble and discuss public affairs. They ?ra Just what we need for neighbor hood gatherings of every kind. And yet is was reserved for a re cent date for somebody to sug gest that Hie school Innis es he made social renters; thal they he used for every kind of legit lu?ate conference." Q "The back on the farm move ment will never he a reality until Hie s? hool house becomes the center of interest. Singing schools, debuting societies, musi certs cal concerts. phonograph read ings and musical programmes the all tend to bring neighbors together and to broaden their minds and make their ideas more liberal. Anderson county lias the best pub lic schools ami rchool buildings in the State. Our county superinten dents of education, from Jno. G. l.'ltnkHcules on down to and including J. II. Kelton, have done a splendid work. Hut whut wo have done today ls merely thc foundation of what we should have. Make thc echool houses the community center. THAT "CULLED" BOGIE MAN. Tlie negro ls down and out politi cally. He will never have a hand In the government of this state. Although superior in every way to the negro Just from slavery, the negro of today ii? un tit to govern others. Every white believes this. Those who lug the negro Into our campaigns are doing the white man a great injustice by letting the negro think thai there are some who fear the black man's vote. The negro does net reek political power In this state. ."te knows that he was put at a disadvantage under the leadership of carpetbaggers and the scalawags. The negro does not seek social equality. In fact, as far as we cun Judge, the negro doesn't seem to seek anything. Rut all of this talk may stir within him Borne kind nf latent longing and make him mischievous. That Is the real danger. Let thc ne gro realize that he is regarded as a factor and wo may have some real danger to confront us. The superior white man knows, feels and asserts hts superiority and the negro does not have to be taught his place. THEY APPRECIATE fLASS Since we have been able to convince The Rock Hill Herald that Anderson really has 17,000 populatloa, there ls nothing too good for us to say of good Brother J. T. Fain, editor of that breezy paper lu the "Windy City." Wc have always thought that The Ev ening Herald had "some class" and now we know lt. The Herald In try ing to get the best in styles of ad vertisements, coptes a page adver tisement designed for tho Coca Colt people by The Intelligencer. ? page Advertisement designed by this paper for the Coca Cola people was copied by tho Greensboro, N. C., Record." Those two papers are looking up ward and they appreciate clasB. The protection of the law IR the Door man's best friend. Under the nedieval "survival of the Attest." a Few had all, the many had nothing. Wo need no more law, but observance md enforcement. Tho shameful treatment ot Senator Smith at Spartanburg and Mr. Rich ards at Columbia cannot but make people resent the manner In which hey were annoyed. In the last year of his term of of lce. Gov. Ansel pardoned but seven penitentiary convicts. His total for 4 fara was 48. Thia does Dot include main-gang offenders. Permanence The (iayu ana] nights arc long Hough, hui the yearn are mighty .Iron. Whether lh?' average life is more (lian it used io he or not I nm not prepared io say. So experts in statis tics tells UH thal the average IK higher than it used to he. Mut the I rend of human progress now is io make things permanent. All of Hie work done, except that on the publie highways is nf a substan tial, permanent nature, and it must be sahl of the highways that they are nearly ali ou a permanent grade that < an not lie improved. Notwithstanding, Hie frequency of lin- at leets hoing dug up and Marred about, if you will Just look beneath Hie surface you will timi it is for sonic improvement thal cannot be improved II pen. lt h. permanent. The public buildings, and Hie build ings of a public nature, which are be inj; erected now are of a material an I workmanship that will Just Inst Tor ??ger am! agoB. Though chango .lu written epon ev erything human, the engineers tell us that lhere ls no reason why the bridge we have made across the cut on North Main street will not he as good und solid one thousand years from now sr it is today, and they are making the depot of thu same kind of mater ial. I never cross it now without think ing of Hie stone bridge across the up per Danube in Prague which was built a thousand years ago. It is said to be the strongest bridge in the world. For centuries it was the only bridge in that city to span the Danna. Hut now there arc four others, much more symmetrical, but not so mass ive. The engineers tell me that the buildings lo be erected by the C. & W. C. railioad on South Main street are to be both symmetrical and perma nent. While architecture is not very pro gressive in form, lt certainly has tak en a long step forward in the way of muking things permanent. Julius E. Buggs. Anderson. S. C., July 4. 1914.
