Wo ?aiiot .????. any good ca UH?! for alarm and wo f?:el sure that lhere will not be any ?lire culuinitiea following in tho wak?? of (be war, in so fur a? this country i? concerned. Why should theru be? We an- far removed from Du' Heat uf the conflict, and can make everything we nevil al boin?-. We have abundance of capital for fin ancing ?mr enterprises, and for fur ther development. For any ?rlsls to ari e in this tuition at this time some of our moat powerful forces must play traitor. Hither (be govern melli will lose its grip mi condition? or lin- great money power will endeavor to crush out th<- small tuan for further ex ploitation. We cannot believe that either event will transpire, but that the great good sense of our people ?viii assert itself and prevent any sac rillce of properly or business inter eats. Thal which causes most anxiety and Interest in the south is thc price of cotton. The meeting hohl yesterday in Washington, ami the great Interest manifested by the leuders in finance ami In legislation, to say nothing of the positions taken by the govern ment officials of the country, would Indicate that there is nothing to cause alarm in the south. That a way will be devised to meet the demands of the cotton seller has not caused us u mo ments thought. We feel sure that a good plan will be evolved to save the money crop of the south. On this mutter the Augusta Chron icle has the following to say: There ls at least one encouraging feature to the problem of financing the south's cotton crop, and that is. the leading yenators and representa tives at Washington arc now fully de termined to do ull in their power to provide government relief for the sit uation, so far as it can be done within legitimate bonds. The panicky feeling that was pre valent everywhere a week or ten days ago has subsided to a certain extent ; or, at least, Is giving way to calmer, more dispassionate consideration of the problem and plans for Its solu tion. This does not mean that there ls any less anxiety, or any less will ingness and determination to find a remedy; but, rather, that the able men in Washington and elsewhere who have Ute matter well in hand have simply settled down to a careful an alysis of thc case and are applying themselves studiously and earnestly j to the development of practical plans | for relief. First of all, they seem to feel tha-. too hasty action may make for mis chief; therefore they have set about their task in a business like way, thoroughly digesting the numerous plans that were so hurriedly present ed for their consideration, eliminating those that seem, on their face, to be Impracticable, and diligently weigh ing those that offer greater promise of a suceBsful solution. It seems to bo the consensus of opinion that everything must walt a few we?iks, at beBt. In on'er to see If the European situation may not clarify Itself to a certain extont; either through a decisive naval en gagement, or a practical bottlin * up of the German fleet^thercby li . mg the English mills free to use otu cot ton without further interruption. The best opinion ls that thiB is a practical certainty. The argument is put forth that the south still has from four to six wooka or oven a litllo longer, before coming faco to faco with the situation, inas much as no great amount of cotton will move before Ocober 1st; and that the measures of relief already, or that are about to bo provided, will take care of the situation up to that time without any great harm being done. ATTEND FA ICM Kits' INSTITUTES. One of the things hard to -inderstand is why the attendance upon conven tions, institutes, and gatherings of an educational nature is usually so small. For several yerjrs Clemson College and tho United States depart ment of agriculture have been en gaged in conducting farmers' insti tutes over the state and furnishing some of their ablest talent for thc purpose of giving valuable Instruction to the farmers upon questions of vital Interest. It ls a rare thing for Uiese institutes to be attended by large crowds. Why 1B hla? Do not our peo ple wish to receive Instruction In mat tera pertaining to their life and liv ing? Let lt* be a political gathering and they will be there and make the welkin ring with their enthusiastic shouts of approval for their favorite. Is the science of government as lt ls conducted in Sooth Carolina, fer' ex ample, so ennobling and elevating that thousands feel it their duty 16 nt tend whenever there is to be a slug ging match on the hustings? Let the object of iii?- meet lng bc educational and uplifing, .uni important business will K. .-j, iii?, majorit) al home*. Will 'Anderdon county people attend the' forthcoming farinent' insinues as eag erly ami large]) as they have attend-' ed th. pol lt jeal speakings this sum mer? We trust they win. The following fruin thc Progressive j Farmer is o good and so much to tile point thin wc ask its perusal: W.- wish to urge, ton, that you be gin righi now to Jot down the points you wisli discussed, and then, if the speakers do nut cover them, ask ques tions freely. Hear in mind, however, (hut most of the institute workers' should he ami an- specialist.-, and that lt may take three or four of them to ' answer all your questions. Just now winter soil Improving crops-clovers and vetch particularly-are topics of intense Interest to the wide-awake farmer, and we would suggest that you make the institute the occasion for getting all necessary* information for success will these crops. Then there will he tin- veterinary and live; stock men, who will discuss hog chol era and how to prevent lt with the serum treatment; how to eradicate cattle ticks, animal diseases, and feeds and feeding; the general field crop men, who will discuss corn and cot ton, fertilizers and cultivation; and possibly me? who will tell how to combat insect enemies and plant dis eases. In fact, the store of good things awaiting us at these meetings is so great that we simply cannot af ford to stay away. Still another point we would emphasize is that these meetings are niore ami more be coming a source of instruction and entertainment for the entire family.' T'.'n year in North Carolina a number of capuhle women institute workers will be in the Held, and the Idea is gaiulng favor in other southern states. Why not arrange fur the whole family to go, with a mid-day ."dinner on the ground," followed by games for the young folks after, the speaking is over? Such a day, participated in by the entire neighborhood, will mean re creation and luspiration for a whole community. THE WAK AS AN EXCUSE. The Intelligencer learns that many folks .vho ure approached by -tho ubiquitous bill collectors, and they are essential to business success, put them e*f by saying that they cannot pay jow on acount of the war. Then again there is a feeling that nothing new should bc undertaken till we sec what the war is doing and how it turns out. Such views are all wrong. It is al\ right to be conservative, but sometimes there is such a thing as being too conservative, and retarding progress. The way to keep the- war in Germany and France is to prevent any of the effects of the war from coming home. Why should we in Anderson county, the leading agricultural coun ty in South Carolina, if not tn the country, begin thus carly to cry hard times, and bring home the effects of the war on another continent? Let the merchants advertise as us ual, and the people buy as they have been accustomed to buying, and build us they have been building in Ander son, write as many letters and Invite company as usual. Then on the first of the month pay all bills when pre sented if possible, and we can laugh vj. the war. E1TIIEK POLITICS OK WAIL It is a hard"'matter to write any thing for a newspaper now, espec ially an editorial, without mentioning politics or thc war. And, judging from tho interest manifested by the readers it is useless to write on.any other sub jects. Womans suffrage baa to take a back scat, and even Mrs. Pankhurst is a back number. Well, politics ia politics, and war is hell, to repeat Sherman's view. Suppose we lot lt go at that. ?-vspupors as Educators. There is no doubt but that if we could get teachers and pupils in all our country schools to reading good farm papers, we would have an agri cultural revolution in a mighty little while. The educational value of news papers indeed ls by no means appre ciated as lt should be. Three good newspapers in a home, In the course of a year, will be worth a month's schooling to the children. We only recently came across this testimon> given by Daniel Webster: "Every parent whose son ls away from home at school should supply him with a newspaper. I remember what marked difference there was between those of my schoolmates who had and who had not access to news -papers. Other things being equal the flrat were always superior to the losV in debate, in composition and general Intelligence." .

Sold Property on River Street For $17,000. Representing a syndicate ?f local burin?es men, John W. Linley hus purchased,-from the Southern Public Utilities Company tho park proparty on River street, known as Buena Vista Park. This property consists of 27 acres and lt ls understood that tue price paid was about $17,000, , When asked yesterday as to' the plans of the people he represents. Mr. Linley snld that he and his as sociates had not fi.iished mapping Out their plans. He Bald that they would hold the property for a time hut it is probable that eventually the park will be improved, will be divided Up into lota aud sold. However, no immediate action is to be taken. It la understood that the party pur chasing the land consists of John W. Linley, T. S. cr ay ton, J. H. Casey and Mrs Rufus Pant. This piece of property was devel oped by the street railway company some years ago and they made it into an ideal pleasure resort For a time it waa a paying investment and Ander* eon. people have seen much pleasure here. The news that it is to be aban doned as a park will carry with lt considerable regret because th? hope has always been entertained by An derson people that in time to come tho park .might again be opened aa a pleasure ground.
