Directing the ut terances of this page Is a task from which one ?nay well shrink, and this ls 1 particularly true when following BO . gifted and fluent a writer as Col. I Hunks, who has given much thought S to estuhli-hing the Daily Intelligencer. Hut since this duty has been pluced upon me. I HIIUII endeavor to discharge i it with ail my soul. The readers who -.hall dully scan these columns may not - lind here many brilliant thoughts clothed in faultless English, but they will lind the honest convictions of one , whose every thought shall be for the 5 uphuildlug of a bigger and purer city a richer and huppier county, a proud D er and more patriotic states. Thie pur pose will underlie what shall here ot m written, and by lt I wish tn be judged. Yes, I shall make mistakes-who doe; not .' I shall fall far short of my ideals 1 In many things, because I am human. J You, dear reader, shall do likewise ant , for the same reason. So let us not cen , eure each other too severely. Y - 3 Of course we shall not agree on al ' questions, but let our disagreement: ', bo honeHt differences of opinion, may say thu war in Europe will soot ? be over; you may say lt will last fo months', perhaps years. I shall gran you the right to your thoughts; yo should do the same for me. You hav a right to think as you please-pre vided you THINK; I have the sam right. So why fall o:tt about UT Anderson county is a great count: In a great section of th ; State. He resources and her industries are vat led and m^ay-Tht, Int~l!igence .uanda for the development of thesi Her people are true, brave and loyi to what they believe is right-The IE telllgencer would have them remal true, brave and loyal to the right. He people are as a rule law abiding-Th Intelligencer would create respect fe all law. Indeed* The Intelligence would clasp hands with every upllfi lng agency in this section and bel them accomplish their good work. Is there not enough work to d building up our city, county and Sta) to keep us too busy to find fault wit another, too busy to search for fault . and, too busy to pry .for motives ?hi ure impure? Let ns forget factions ' Ism and unite all our'?nergies to brin ?Teat things to pass here and no? That were a man's tusk. Let us ceat looking on the dark vida and try to sc the silver lining to th* clouds. Plum grow and thrive beat; only In the pui sunlight-Are we not human planta? The Intelligencer would work fe bettering the condition of every farmc and laboring man. Thia newspape realizes that the prosperity and happ neas of every class of our cltlzensh depends upon the prosperity and ha) pinesa ot every other class. If M: farmer is prosperous, the merehan the business man, the protessloni class, the banks-all are prosperoui This close Interdependence of all wi never so forcefully illustrated as hf been done by this war In Europe. Sut being true, then, we'need to stand.t i geth?->r- , Therefore. The Intelligence . deplores the tendency of spino pera'ii to array one class against another at to keep alive and faa into flame di - ferencea of opinion so as to accompli! this end . Believing that the stability of our ti sti tut lon? dependa upon an educat , and enlightened cltlsenahlp, The Int? llgencer would stand for education all the children of every commuait No enlightened people can long ! fooled or enslaved, nor can they be tl prey of the vicious and avaricious. A I deraon county has a fine system schools, both ci.y and county, ai these are indeed a pride to aM her pe I pie. The Intelligencer would s ? j them grow and spread wide their 1 fluence. . Jm I A word personal: Eleven mont . ?go the writer carno Into you midi Yr>u gave him a warm welcome a proved yourselves kind and consldt ' ate. During thia time he baa lear ed to know, admire and respect md he bas seen of the life, tbe cnstoi and the ideals of the people. N< he. baa heen selected to stand as t champion of tho people who hs thus shown him courtesies and fries V ships. He has chosen Anderson I bis home, a place In which to live a rear hts children, a place where hopes they may live and . make th hornea. He, therefore, would like here Anderson and Anderson cont kedp abreast cf atty progressive a< ; tlon of the country. Born and real I on tba farm, his sympathies are tari ly wth the men who plow and I and sow and reap. They sro so bi producing they etea have ES time ' s?c?k up for their rights. He hoi I to maka The Intelligencer speak 1 them, set at the same Um*, bot btu ? i ly, for others have rights also. Those who manufacture what tho farmer produces, thoBc who furnish the means,? the channels of trade-all have rights. So he Fhall promise all j a square deal, und I: n't thu) enough? You can help bim. Will you uo lt? Still a struuger to many, won't you come in nnd K<'1 acquainted? He' wants to know you, your thoughts, your homes, your happiness, your sorrow, your success, your failures,1 You can help him he a good editor of i The intelligencer, and ha has faith i in you-you will W. \V. HMO AK. BUSINESS AS I'SrAL Among the best discussions of the war in Europe, and the most opti mistic may be mentioned those edi torials on the subject appearing in tho Charleston News and Courier. I The following ia worth careful reading: John Hull knows that there are other perils as serious au those with which the Mailed Fhn of tho KalBer threatens him. He knows, for in stance, that no matter what happens, he must keep his business going. Al financial panic or a general budnee* | collapse in the British Isles would be more disastrous than a defeat of the British army lu France. It would do more to paralyze Englands resistance to her enemies than anothe. success ful submarine attack upon the British fleet. So John Hull la taking the greatest care to keep his business go ing in spite of the war, and he is pur posely keeping enough men at home to run the shops in his absence. "Business aa usual" has become a sort of slogan throughout the British Isles; and Reginald Arkell has made this .slogun' the title of aome versos which are'recited each evening at the Strand Theatre, before the cur tain goes up, by Mr. Mattheson Lang, the actor. As Mr. Arkell puts it. John Bull on leaving his shop to go to the :\zx "wrote on his window a message for all to read, 'Business conducted as usual, while alterations proceed' Left his Missus and kiddies to carry the business on; Sailed for the sound of the shooting Oood bye, and God bless you, Jobb!" ft ?ci ve I j j / , . sj ildPhe "bUaMnesW" as usual movement" if one may} call lt such, ??ems to be a success and there is no s.-gn of com mercial collapse in tile British Isles, A Charl es toni an recently returned from Englujd, was struol*' with tho quiet optimism of the British people: regarding the commercial crisis with which* they are confronted and was j much impressed by tho manner in which business In general, In London and throughout the British Isles, ha? withstood the shook ot war . The ut? most care on the part of the Govern ment to provide against e? commercial collapse would not have-availed if the Government had been in dealing With ? people panicky by nature and ?ubj?ct to?utifon alarms. If an lo b?rent optimism and a determination to make tno best of things Is keeping British business on ad even keel, and tiding lt successfully through the worrt storm lt has ever experienced, the. ?ame spirit ought to have an even better effect here in this country wher th? conditions making for de pression are not anything like as grave of. ss difficult. Wo p. ved a "business as usual" movement over here too. We could use at present a good deal larger quantity..or optimism than is appar ent among us Just now. The way to make 'fcard .times worse k to talk about them' until they get on the h?rve?'.'' 'Oti? way to Improve them ls to'recognise dearly that they cap be improve*!. If England and the ?abe thing iff probably true of Germany* has kept going ?Imply because her people refused to lose hope or heart" in ibo face of conditions fer worse than those which confront U3. lt will' bo Rt.-ange indeed it,the. samo .spirit ..nnot help\ us ?yerconw the t obsta* ; !<?s which: seem to threaten our well teing. ' Our incentive ls all the great er, because w? know that this period of stress ts certainly going to be fol lowed by a period of unexampled prosperity. The British motto. "Business condi tions aa usual while alterations pro ceed", ought to be adopted and lived up to by us with all the better spirit because it ls as sure as anything can oe that, when the alterations over our business ls going to be better than it has been before.** oooeoooooeoeooeeeoo s _ ? o MEETING AT 1YA o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 0 0 O o o Editor The Intelligencer: On tb? first Sunday In September ft'meeting began at the First Baptist church,'Rev.
