In days of "depression," fancied or real, lt ls all th? more necessary to put on "a good f*ont." That ls the time to adventure. There ?8 no real punic on now, but there aurely ls u period of unBtabillty owing tc thc lack of certitude a? to thc future. Anderson county lb fairly well pre pared for this Kreut crisis. There are moro small farms lu this county than In any other In the state, and each white man who owns his farm has been improving lt und 1ms been pro ducing moro und more the things that In years gone by have been purchased elsewhere. A few years ?go ? farmer's import ance was reckoned in the number of bales of cotton he produced. Today that farmer Is most nearly independ ent who can suy that he and those de pendent upon him can live without having to buy the thlngB that go upon the table. Thia county and the city of Ander son should be strong In hope. The beBt way In which to express tho' feeling of security and confidence is in doing things. The building opera tions In this city are not lagging. The futuro really is bright. Anderson ls sure to go on in her splendid stride. It is incumbent upon us to show ts tho world that we are not discouraged, but, to the contrary, that we have a great deal of hope. How is this to be done? One way is to keep up to a high standard Uko our Chamber of Com merce and pur T. P. A. post and other organizations that are booBtlng Ander son. Let them be well supported now. This is the time when such agencies will do their best work. In times of prosperity we are prone to overlook the work that is done, the things that are being accomplished. If we should take the time, we could narrate until our readers would become bored the things that this Chamber of Com merce has put over-thlngB that have been done with apparent ease, yet with effort. Things that would have been Impossible but for concerted effort. One of theso undertakings was of ficially consummated yesterday with the letting of the contract to build the new theater. This has been a big pull 'Skid a bard pull, and it would have ap peared that the war situation would have embarrassed it. But the money is in hand nnd the theater will be built. Bo much for the grit of J. 8. Fowler and his asso ciates. Last night the Chamber of Com merce, through the directors, favored the plan to have a state exhibit at the San Francisco exposition. To some this might appear unnecessary, but to us lt appears the best thing we can do. it us advertise our resources. Some . ontbs ago we would not have en dorsed anything much aiong thiB line, but now appears the psychological time-and for this reason: The European countries jwill not have their exhibits at the exposition, and this will give South Carolina all the more opportunity to "shine." It is possible to make an exhibit which will attract 6.. eat attention to South Carolina, to cause the people who attend tho exposition to take an interest In this section with a view to4 buying our productive lands and com ing here where they may produce two crops a year and live in a climate that is salubrious anf In a section filled with religious and educational advan tages. Chas. K. Bryant, architect for the Virginia commission, stated yesterday that South Carolina would fall to ac cept a great opportunity if tbs exhibit is neglected. And if the proposition is accepted and pushed through to suc cess it will mean much for the county and the Btate. Incidentally, Mr. Bryant baa not re laxed his efforts to get an office build ing and a modern hotel for Anderson. He says that money ls too tight now to start anything, but he believes that it '.?ill be more easily available a little later on, and lt is wise to be on band lat that moment. THE PARKER'S PREDICAMENT. Thc announcement yesterday that Mir. (iiwrnmanl O?!Lme' 28 the 5?0^?iag crop at 16.ooo.CCG imies ls quite start ling in vic?? of the fact that Just a month ago the government's estimate v,as 13.600,000 bales. Just how the crop should have put on so much more fruit than at first predicted ls an anomalous matter which Is interesting. But that s the government estimate and upon it ls based the valuation of ?the crop. If there were an open market, It la probable that the price would have been lowered 10 per cent in one day. It seems that everything la conspir ing to drive th? Socth Atlantic States into stock raising. In Texas and other states where the fertiliser bill la not high, th?/armera may be able to maka cotton at a profit at 8 cents per pound. But m~ this section, the crop waa produced on the hope and. expec tallon of getting at leant 10 cents. In view of th?; government report, tho funner may liol l>e able lo gel a:? good a loan upon hi? colton aa he would have 10 days ugo In faet Home farmers have questioned the advisa bility of holding their cotton at all when lt ls realized that they must pay Interest on fertilizer bills and interest on loans. We would not advise the farmers to throw their cotton at the market, but we would caution thom to be prepared for very low prices tills fall, prlceB based upon a bumper crop and a very /jreutly restricted market. Unless then; is absolute surety ot getting a much better price, there would be little to be gained by holding all the colton for higher prices, al though some of course should be held. Merchants get caught in the same pre dicament und have to put on low price sales In order to keep tho stock mov ing and to "turn th money over." Our logic on the situation may no be right, but it uppears that per hale ?thc price would decrease as the ulti jmate production increases. Therefore [there is one thing sure. The farmer should begin to turn his money over. Ito think of cotton aB anything but a [standby and to produce oatB and corn, land other things to nourish man and beast. Then when the equilibrium of the world is restored, there will he a great demand for cotton, _nd the farmer by making himself independent now may in a year or two become a man of substantial means on cotton alone. MR. MANNING'S INVASION. Some Columbia correspondent, care less of his diction, writes that "Rich ard I. Manning will invade the pied mont hectlon of South Carolina." That ls indeed a lapsus pen. Mr. Manning will not invade. That word implies that he IB coming lu force into an unfriend ly country. We hear on good authority that he is coming in force all right, having be hind him the endorsement of two thirds of the people of his own county in the first primary and the backing of the great majority of the state east of a line drawn through the middle of the state. But lt ls not an unfriendly country into which Mr. Manning has come. The news from many counties west of thet same line ls that Mr. Manning will be the next govornor of South Carolina by a majority of from 18 to 2B thou sand. A letter from ono of Mr. Manning's friends in the lower part of the state, to a friend in Anderson, expresses the situation thus: * "I don't consider the situation very difficult uow, but we must not, let our friends get over-confident. We must make every one understand that the opposite In forces are in the last ditchi and will fight without scruple, clrcu ' .ting any kind of false report, using any kind of political trick." From this we Infer that Mr. Man ning has no massed foo to reckon with on his invasion, but his friends must be on the alert through1 the Interven ing days and on the day of the. voting. TURN TO THE SOUTH. Tho iniiii.ii ami pleasure resorts of tbe South will benefit from the Euro pean war. There is no doubt than changea ot climate of better health, botter spirits, prolonged vitality. Tbero was" no larger number than usual of our Americans in Europe this summer, but the fact that they were marooned colled attention to their number. The great body of Americans in Eu rope consisted not of the wealthy, but of college people, teachers and pupils, and persona of ordinary wealth. It bas been of considerable broadening In fluence upon their lives. But a visit to Europe within the next five years, may bo depressing in its Influence, and we believe that greater emphasis will be given to the Importance, the beauty and the climate of the sum me? reaorta in our Southern moun tains. Oh, tbat the Blue Ridge wore con structed through the mountains I It alone would open a play ground large enough for the whole continent.

Editor The Intelligencer: In thc Brat primary this was a very strong Cooper box. he having polled , 186 votes against 190 for all other cpja d ida! es for governor. Wc have an enrollment of 435 and I look for a vote of 350 in the BCiond primary and feel safe in Baying Mr. Manning will poll 250 or possibly more. Mr. Irby received a good many votes hore and I understand this vote will go to Mr. Manning. This, however, I am not sure. Mr. Manning had rome strong friends herc who voted f ir Mr. Cooper in the first race, thinking he was the stronger of the two men, and they were extremely anxious to vote for the leader.
