FACING A CUISIS It I? a great crl?i? which this coun try i? facing- The President of th? [Tutted States Jins neted promptly und wisely lu lils efforts to avert u pan ic. We understand tliut ?lie- govern ment will not make any change in its plans to send here tho money for fi nancing tlic cotton crop. Thia will he u great thing for the South und will enable tho hanking houses hen: to tide over any strenuo uoslty which might have been forced upon them by the circumstances over which our banking institution? of the whole country havo no control, and before which they are absolutely help less. It aplicara that the agricultural (South will have ample protection for all of her interests, and that cotton may be held for a rise In price? such us will Justify the farmer tn releasing hi? crop at a profit. Hut there I? another cia?? of citi zens to which wu should give our sympathy-the mill managers. They come in for all sorts of criticism and uhuo und it ls understood. We know that thc mill managers have a hard time of it. They have problems that are vexing and full of care und Responsibility. Like good soldiers, they put on a bold front even in the midst of the ever wearing cares. The nilli managers are now confronted with Hie most serious problem that has affected the south ?ince thc war. , The world must eat, but the world can weur clothes. It ls the cotton manufacturer who suffers in case of great International controversies. Wo feel Intuitively that this situ ation will be evolved to thc full credit of the nation, and that the runn'ufae7-1 turing enterprises of the south wlii pull through the crisis, but lt will be a great battle for the valiant and thc strong hearted men who are endeav oring to handle thc financial respon sibility of tho Indlstry that has been attacked from all sides. Every man lu the world has bis burdens, cares and sorrows, his re sponsibilities. Thc humane mill own er bas hts own and thc cares of many others . We here lay down one broad proposition-To whom should the mill people stick in case of disaster? To tho politician who comeB around ev ery year or so with the mo3t guileful and at the same time, most plausible lot ot talk? Or to the mill manager who will stand by his people, or those* of them who are deserving? ' \ We hope that the issue may never come, that tho great war that ls im pending will never cause the mills to suspend, for even one day; but if the day should come, we venture to say that the' nilli management will in ev ery community spare no pains to1 Bee that the operatives are cared for in tho best manner possible until the time for resuming operations. Just as the new cotton crop ls about to mature the mills are denied the us ual avenues for getting money. Suppose all of the mills should be blotted out oi existence tomorrow? Oh, what suffering would there be. The-people of today do not appreciate the great boon of the cotton mills. They have given employment, educa tion, preaching and In fact, financial means to many industrial peoole, who, if they had been left upon their little farms, would have been living - in drudgery and unhappiness. Some mills for a stipend of ?4 per month let their operatives have com fortable homes and furnish -the mule power to plow the ground and furnish tho fertilizer at cost-and the conse quence is that tho mill operative may have a good garden all the . y eh1 r uround. I sin. Some mill people right here In the city have earned enough money to buy comfortable farm?, and have don? so. We v?iuld cite numerous examples of the benefit of the mills to thu. labor ing people, but wo started,out meroly to enunciate a general principle, and that is this The. mill managers will sacrifico themselves to try to keep their prop erties in operation. They will make a gallant fight for the next few weeks. Wo hope that every encour agement will bo given tr.em and that the mills will Le operated steadily and aurcoasf tilly. There; is a river in "france by tb j namo ot 111.' And one in Servia by the nairne of Save. Oh, Doctor Mun yon. Suppose one European nation should conquer another, (icc, .what a time they would have while learn ing and unlearning languages. Germany's war lord and - our own "prince of peace" aeem to have dif ferent ideas about how to make folks happy; We trust that the county campaign will move along smoothly and that tho people will choose none but good men. V . This thing of getting out "War ex tras'1 ls. becoming a habit with The Intelligencer. We hope ere long to bring extra news of peace. "Drill WACHT AM KHE1N" Thc German mn ional song is "Tho WutHi ou the Killuc." Hs origin ls said to have been ?lue to the efforts of the French statesman, Thiers, to have the itbine made the eastern boundary of France. Although the song was written in 1S-10 it lay in ob scurity until IK70 whet; il hurst forth volcanically to thrill the hearts of Germans and to move them to defend the river of the Fatherland. Max Scheckcnburger, the author, died in tibseurity nt the ngo of 30, bul today monument marks his resting place and commemorates his influucc upon the nation. Half a million soldiers in tile war of 1870 sann his exhilarating words upon the march or around tho hivouac. The words are as follows - the best English translation. "Like thunder rings the call to war. Like sabre's clang and hlllow's roar; On to the Rhine, the German Rhin? ! Who will not fight tu guard its line? Dear Fatherland, all care resign, For steadfast stands the Watch on Rhine. "Through countless thousands thrills the cry. And courage gleams from every eye; The German, honest, pious, true, Defends the sacred line of lilli' "He turns his eye toward heaven's crown, Whence heroes of the past look down. And proudly vows; , Rhine like me, Thou shult forever German bo. ."While yet a drop of blood burns, While yet one hand the sword hilt turns, 'While yet ono arm a gun can aim, No'foenian's foot thy shore shalt Bhame "The vow resounds, the flood mounts high. The flags ure wavering in the sky; Along the Hhlne, the German Rhine. Wo all will guard Its sacred Hoe! ; Dear Fatherland, all care resign. For steadfast stands tho "Watch on Rhine." The music was written hy Karl Wil helm, who after the Germans were victorious in the Franco-Prussian war, was given an annual pension from the government. The lnriuencc of music and poetry upon patriotism cannot be computed in dollars. TOWN AND COUNTRY The average layman perhaps falls to aprec?ate the vast Intrinsic im portance of the newer agriculture, in which Anderson county is beginning to take a commanding lead. The av erage town mun sometimes ls too much Inclined to forget that utter all no town 1B greater, no city better, than the country which surrounds it; than the moral political and econmic Influence which the country con versely, yet definitely reflects upon the city. lt is therefore of thc highest Im portance that every move made for the betterment of agricultural con ditions; for the betterment of the. life upon thu farm; for the purpose of en couraging the raising of larger and botter crops; for the improving of bet ter home conditions and thc securing of a higher ideal on the farm and therefore heneo In the city, should receive the very highest endorsement of all thinking and progressive people. Romo fell because of lack of appre ciation of her agricultural back ground and a brow beating of her fin influences springing *' crefrom. She 'railed to aprec?ate that her greatness I carno 'from her agriculture and that) therefore, she must, If she would con tinue to exist, work with the multitude | who had for their purpose the com mon good of not only themselves but tho structure also upon which was roared all that was best in the city ot Bevon hills. The great and growing nnd definite movement now goln on throughout the confines of the American states for agricultural betterment, In a thous and and one phases, ls beginning In no uncertain way, to make a real start In South Carolian, a state by nature, climate and conditions preeminently agricultural and no where else In South. Carolina ls the movement ou a better basis than right here lu Ander son county. And nowhere bise, per haps,in the whole south is a commer cial organisation doing moro or work ing harder, along real constructive I and definite lines, for agricultural ad-1 vancement than the Chamber ot Com? merca of this city. Men \yho know the work bf this or ganization and who aro famaltar with other work's of kindred character else where In the state have stated that tho ?work ls better organised and produc ing better results here than elsewhere. Thanks to the farmers ot old Ander son-they knowing what is good, hesi tate not'in taking to th3 same. The next trades day D?'*?t bo mad* j the best yet for tho fat-mer? uuuo?gh | the last was a great occasion. THE SMITH MI LK. (Dedicated to the memory of the un known seri he hy W. A. Hailey, Iva, S. C.) Oh! you Bleasitc whoever you may he, 1 read your "poem" and you surprised tue ' You have misquoted things from the top on down liut thu SUillhites are still on the Un est ground. You ask if I can think of any invi tation That is hair ny rotten as the State Convent lon. That question is so absurd it makes nie smile For Dleaae's record is so rotten ? smell it a unie. Then you have the audacity to write more and say Thc convention passed a rulo to keep thc poor man away; To make such a statement is certainly u shaine For their marks aro legal if they can't write their name. That is a good rule and you must agroe it is fair For when you sign your name you know lt is there And no one eau tell you on election day r You haven't enrolled and you must stay away. Hluase has a right to sweep the state I know, For he ia the ono that han dirtied it 80 Hut ue can't use tho broom as he ls now unable And he must get lils Job back in thc livery stable. If that was a Smith mule I wrote about I would go to tho stalle and turn lt out, For I wouldn't let Blesse feed a pig of mine Much less a mule us they aro too fine. (In justice to all concerned in this good natured controversy, The Intelli gencer wishes to say that "the un known scribe" was Mr. J. L. O. Shaw of Rock Mills, whose name was sign ed to the article sent In. And'In jus tice to this ellice wc wish to state that Mr. Shaw wrote on both sides of the paper and the printer Tailed to see thc best part of Judge Shaw's poem. Ln order to keep the controversy bal anced, we will print it all If bo has a copy.) .
