Th? letter is from J. Mack King, county supervisor of Anderson county, and reads as fol lows: "* ? ? Perhaps it will bc of interest to you to know that I have concluded arrangements to phire my daughter again with the institution which is tho best asset that Anderson county pos sesses, namely Anderson college. Unfortunately for the young lady, as well as myself, site was left mother less five years ago. and knowing as I do the importun?e at this day and in this age of the greatest need, "brain training," commonly colled "educa tion," I determined to leave my mark on tho face of lime hy giving nu edu cation as far as possible to the family witli which God luis endowed me. "Hut I learned long ago about 'ways and means.' When I looked around I found through your good olllces thal we had Hie combination right here, 'made in Anderson.' My daughter has developed lu many ways under tho careful tutelage at Ander son College-physically, intellectually und ull along thc line, an J I desire to say here and now to you through you to others, that Anderson college is the place for our girls and when we fail to cooperate with the good peo ple who are at the head of this in stitution we are, perhaps innocently, neglecting that which m the future, means moro for Anderson county than all other things combined. Let us go to work and help this great work by encouraging our people to send their girls to this great home institution and I feel ti>\t in the years to come we will see the fruit J or our labors in the educated and refined womanhood that will praise their parents' good Judgment for endowing them with an Anderson college education.' "I desire thus publicly to express my thanks to my friends and my last ing gratitude to the faculty and of ficers of Anderson college for the in terest thus shown in my motherless daughter. Assuring them of my ear nest desire to be of any service tbat I possibly can to the institution, I am most sincerely, "J. Mack King." Anderson county annually furnishes enough giris to colleges in other cit ies and other states to fill the dormir tories of Anderson college to. run ning over. Wo would not be a prose lyte^ but we would like io auggeBt timidly to the good people of this section that Anderson college is no experiment, but a fixture, a Buperb in stitution, at once the surprise and the Joy ot all who love advancement of education. At the head oC this insti tution today is a man of. christian character and courage, or high order of Intellect and a teacher born. His great heart Is throbbing with love for his splendid mission, and the yoting glrlc of the state who come under bis care and under the teaching of him self and associates will bc all the bet ter In intellect, in development and in soul n>i In christian womanhood for having attended Anderson college. THE ENROLLMENT HEAVY S. Dean Pearman, chairman of the county democratic executive commit tee, stated yesterday that the club rolls are in coming in. Ho had receiv ed 18 yesterday, and each club roll shows nearly if not quite ns many names as the polling list of two years ago. In some clubs the enrollment ex ceeds the number of names on the polling list of 1912. Friends of the members of the re cent state democratic convention claimed that they needed no defense dud thai ihv enrollment would be their vindication. Mr. Pearman says that the indications are that the to tal enrollment will be considerably over 7,600', while the voie last pri mary was 8,000. tn fact the dlffei enco may be smaller than that when all tho lists are in. The above esti mate ls conservative. - Governor Blease charged at Green wood that tho floating gangs of non resident employes on railroad con struction work opposed him two year? ago. The new rules cut inem om. The anti-administration people have claimed all the time that' non residents who moved into ' the state just before the last primary were per mitted to vote for. Gov. Blease. Any such possibility as that ts eliminated, if anything of the kind aver did oc cur. Therefore, it appears at present we emphasize that-for the future, may causo a revision of opinion but at this time it appears that the rules adopted by the last a tato con vention aro. in the aggregaio sate and' . fair. They give the opportunity for 5 an election for homefolns, by home folks, and none hut homorolks. We trust that the committee in cheeking up tho lists will bo liberal, RATE DECISION W WAY TO RA Commerce Commission Will Demi ness Basis-No General Washington, July 20.-lt is so gen erally conceded that the decision of the Interstate commerce commission on the proposed advance in freight rates will he adverse to the railroads tliat it is doubtful ii the railroads themselves are setting any store hy the prospects. Unless all indications full, lt pro mises to be tho moat important ruling| th? commission has ever made-im portant in the fact that it will prevent any large increase in public burdens by tlie railroads, hut principally im portant in that it is expected to cause far reaching reforms in railroad methods and operations. It ls ex pected to tell the railroads that they| must be run upon business princi ples, for business purposes, and not asl adjuncts to the stock market, to be| used for stock manipulation. The roads, lt ls believed, will be se verely censured for tonie of their| practices,, and will be told how they can obtain Increased revenue by tho j elimination of special service per formed for favored shippers. r The decision, lu fnct, will he largely I u review of general railroad conditional throughout thc eastern territory, com bined with advice from the commis-1 sion as to the best method of remedy ing bad conditions. Would Scatter Industries. It is believed that one part of it will deal especially with the present concentration of Industries in the lar ger cl''.es, und will recommend that these industries be scattered along the lines in the smaller towns, thus enabling the railroads to handle their business without the. congestion, delay and expense Incidental to city termin als; aiding tho industries in reducing their overhead charges and the cost of their properties, and assisting the employes of the Industries to lower tho cost of living and raising Its standard by placing them in smaller communistes, where living expenses are not so high, where fresh air can be had for them and their families, and where they can develop the higher inetinctg of Ufo denied them In crowd ed city quarters. Distribution of traffic and Industry undoubtedly will be one of the main themes for discussion in the report, and the carriers and industries will be urged to co-operate in tills distri bution for their mutual advantage. The railroads Teached the conclus ion weeks ago that the commission would not grant their request for a 5 per cent horizontal increase in rates, amounting to more than $50,000,000 a year. Repr?sentatives of the carriers | schooled by railroad attorneys, assert ed that If the increase were not grant ed quickly, the roads would go on the rocks all over the country and ono line after another would be forced in to bankruptcy. Tho hearings were concluded the1 ! fair and straightforward, and that no j technicalities will be resorted to. We are informed that Charleston, j whero thero has been so much elec tion scandal, ls operating under a 1 much more stringent law-passed by the legislature and not by the conven tion. And other states are reported j to be operating under primary rules ? equally as exacting as ours. AU in all. lt appears that the en rollment plan in this state, while just I a little bit more cumbersome than the j old slipshod way. and Is not at all porfect, is yet a good thing for every- j body and gives good protection to the j honest vote. VEGGING THE SOIL Breaking up the soil with the use of dynamite is not understood. Some people scoff at it because they canont see how dynamite imparts any fertili ty to the soil. And lt does not ' But there ts one thing it does do; it wakes up the old lazy soil and makes lt go hustling, just us applying a galvanic battery to an old tramp .will make bim jump. Switzerland, perhaps tho greatest I agricultural country in tho world, for Its opportunities, is using dyna mite extensively and experiments in j the United States and right here . in j Anderson county have been very suc cessful and productive. The department of agriculture In Switzerland has set about the matter systematically. It has been proved that fruit trees planted in the soil prepared by dynamite explosions are prolific. Sometimes it ts necessary to uso force to break into the storehouse ot riches of the miserly soil and to put the mineral wealth Into circula tion. This Is an excellent means ot I breaking up hard soil and making j "worn ont" ' land astonishingly fertile. Tho'earth ls a skull.. The.soil lathe loose skin on top of the skull, or ls disintegrated rock resting upon the skull. The fertility ot the. soil de pends upon chemical elements in the outer covorlng to nourish plant Ute. v Constant rainB wash away some of these chemicals and the maturity of crop after crop exhausts , others. But down on tho hard pan la the accumu lation of chemical elements, too deep under the crust for the tender roots of the plants to attain.

In thvir cloning irguments the railroad attorneys gain stated that delay meant destruc lon for many lines. All through .May pressure was irought to hear on the commission to tasten the decision. Greater pressure i-a.s brought In lune. Thenvthe rall oads begab to look around and found hey weren't so badly off as they bought. They took the hims thrown mt by the commisioners and their let earnings begun to show a relative ucrease. Crop conditions throughout the ountry, never more favorable than hls year, began to shed optimism on lie railroads and within the last few reeks the carriers, which had laid off nany men during the progress of the ate hearings, began to hire them >ack; they placed orders for new alls; they gave orders for new equip nent, and they began running their hops overtime In many Instances to mt their rolling ttock In shape to lundie the crops.

Phey Bet al out to meet conditions SB hoy are. The decision, however, wi'" point nit Hie way to great hen ell ts for the arriers. Through the elimination of ree services alone, the carriers in the artern territory will be enabled to ave almost as many millions annual y as they hoped to obtain through the i per cent horizontal increase. A more sclentflc handling of their xpendltures for new equipment and heir expenditures for repairs on old equipment will add millions more to heir savings and thus increase their let earnings relatively.

"The Store with a Conscience" SINBAD WRITES OF ELIMINATION He Says That the Anti-Blease People Are Badly at Sea On This Proposition Editor The Intelligencer: . In connection with the elimination caucus called in Columbia for Friday at noon, there are variais rumors afloat and many opinions about same. It is common rumor now that the gubernatorial race is not the only one to be considered, though ostensibly so. There is a very strong sentiment fav oring the withdrawal by request of both Jennings and Pollock, and two reasons are given for this. One is that it Is thought, since passing .through the Piedmont, that these candidates t.re weakening the cause ot Smith, as the people are becoming aroused over what they term"double teaming on ni ea se" and lt lg feared that lt thia feeling grows that there is likely to be a "stampede to Ble?s?" by those not now on his side,- but are beginning to look upon their m?thode as being "unfair." Another reason being 'advanced la that "Jennings and Pollock's assaults on the governor's record has done the work, so as they cannot hope to be elected lt ls best for the state that they get out of Smith's, way." Then there is another rumor to the effect that "Pollock and Jennings -see that Blease will be elected and don't want to be caught In the 'crash, so their friends are giving them'a chance to get out gracefully.** Wo don't know whether any or all of these rumors are correct, but ope thing ls certain, whether it material izes or not there .is an effort being made to bring about the withdrawal of one or more of the senatorial can didates and another'ha? it that even Smith contemplates withdrawal. |Any way, it looks as though there will be a surprise sprung; in tho senatorial race all right.
