Ain't H due tc live today! { COLUMBIA'S LIQl/?It FIGHT Columbia is just now In thc throe? of a catnpuign to clone up thc pluce? whore liquor 1B hoing Hold illegally. TIiiH 1B very hopeful, and we trust the good people of our capital city will succeed in making of the city n place a? clean as any city in tho coun try. AH an example to tho rest of South Carolina, tho capital should be pure and spotless, and there Bhoulii he no let up till Buch results are ac complished. We have no doubt, from what wc hear, that it is a much harder task to make Columbia clean than it was for Anderson. In that city there lias hoon unbridled license for years, end if re ports are to be believed the tiger was ns open und flagrant In the violation of the liquor laws ns it Is possible for any violation to he anywhere. In this city tho "gentlemen'H" (?) clubs flouriHhed, and lt lias been consider ed perfectly proper for the well dress ed and woll-to-do to go to his club and imbibe as freely as if he were in his own home. Of course where such a condition is allowed to grow up and exist, the men lower down in the social and financial scale feel that tboy should also be allowed to have their clubs, and one can readily sec the multiplication of clubs and places where liquors are illegally sold. This ia true in Anderson as well as In Columbia, and the liquor sold In the so-called gentlemen's clubs ls sold Just as Illegally as if sold in a dive on a back street to which entrance is gained through a back ajiley. Colum bia realizes this now, and some of her fearless and true citizens are engag ed in a struggle to put them out of business and confine the sale of liquor to the county dispensaries. Dut we doubt if the city officials and tin police force aro so much In earnest that they will close all these social clubs. If they do not, however, there had as well be nothing done. All men should be oqual before the law, and if one place can soil liquor In open defiance of the law all others should ba allowed to do Ute same thing We do not charge them with lt, but the newspapers in the capitol city which has so bitterly and persistently fought the dispensary law, tin they have created a prejudice against lt and In favor of licensed barrooms, may feel that they have had a hand In creating sentiment which has prac tically bverthrr-fc-n the legal sale of liquor In the Capitol City. But they are to be congratulated now on the fight being made for the legal sale of liquor. Here's hoping the forces of right may conquer. APPRECIATES THE INTELLI GENCER The Intelligencer ls constantly In receipt of communications from per sons desiri ig to keep in touch with condlUons In Anderson and the coun- > ty, feeling that In no other way can they keep properly posted as to what ls being done In the best county In South Carolina. The following was received from an Anderson boy In Annapolis: "Life ls almost Impossible six hundred miles from "My Town" without dally nowa of some kind, and I know of nothing more enjoyable than the Anderson Dally Intelligencer, so cuter my subscription immediate ly." A reminder of an appropriate Thanksgiving remembrance; a year's subscription to the Dally Intelligenc er. BRING MAIL EARLIER. Mention was made yesterday of Ute poor mall service given the people ot Anderson on account ot the schedules on the Incoming trains. It occurs to The Intelligencer that if Ute early morning train from Greenville over the Piedmont and Northern liner were made* a mall train, and the Anderson mall transferred there Instead of go ing to Seneca, that Ute bulk of tho mai) at least could be advanced ma terially This suggestion lo made for what it is worth, and those whose duty lt ls to look out for Ute public along these lines might 'do well to look Into Ute matter and ascertain lt Ulis change could -not be made. ______________ AL80 CITY ATTORNEY The attention of Ute editor waa call ed yesterday to what might be taken as an intentional omission In the. re marks concerning Ute questions asked of Ute prenant City Attorney, G. Cullen Sullivan, Esq. The Intelligencer de sired him to answer these questions because he, perhaps, In a poslUon to answer them aa well, If not bettor, Utah anyone elsa tn Ute etty. Of course lt ls generally known Chat hU I partner. J. K. Hood, Esq., wag also j City Attorney when the matter was I brought np a few months ago. CATHE FOR TH ANKH Has lt occurred to the readers of Tho Intelligencer that Anderson ha-: IUUCII to be thankful for In the mat ter of railroad facilities these days. Why. compared with what used to be, the people of the city should feel like patting themselves all the time on the great improvement that has been made. Soon thero will be compl?t ai one of the most up-to-date pas songer stations for the Blue Hldge In tills part of tho State, and to follow a little later will be one for the Char leston and Western Carolina. Then the Piedmont and Northern will doubt less follow with an improved passen ger station, and with the splendid schedules maintained on all these roads, the people of the city and coun ty can travel as never before. THE FAIR SPIRIT The great success of the Mountain Creek Community fair held yesterday at the school of this name was to be experted. It shows conclusively that the people of this county have the fair spirit, and that something should be done to catch lt while the enthus iasm remains The resolution adopt "d by the directors of tl.e Chamber of Commerce, endorsing a county fair movement 1B to be commended. By all means let us have a great big fair next fall. Now ls the tune to begin to plah for it, and let everyone get busy on lt. EXTERMINATE WHITE: GRUBS. fheco Petts Ar? Likely to Causo Un told Losses Next Year. IPrep&red by United States deportment ot agriculture.) The destructive May beetles, or so called J nue bugs, us wns previously predlcted by thu United States depart ment of agriculture, were extremely abundant the past spring In northeast ern Iowa, southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, parts of Minnesuta. the Bouthem part of Michigan and uortbern Ohio; ulsu In northeastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, parts of Connecticut and New Jersey This is indicative ot a great abundance of white grubs In 1013, and. Judging from the greater abundance of beetles in most of these sections last spring than three years ago, the grub injury will be even greater than tn 1912. when lt caused many millions of dollars damage. It ls of greatest*importance, the department's specialists say, that farmers properly bondie their fields this fall and next spring to prevent a repetition of the enormous losses occa sioned in 1012. Tbe beetles lay their eggs In land covered with vegetation at the time of their dight (Moy and Jone); conse quently land In small grain, timothy and such crops which cover the ground as well as land overgrown with weed* at that time, are most likely to be In fested the following year. It ls also noticeable that ground nearest timber will be heaviest Infested, other condi tions being equal, since the parent bee tles feed on tree foliage and do hot fly great distances If they can tlnd suit able places to lay tbelr eggs near by. Fields likely to be Infested with grabs should be thoroughly plowed be tween Sept 15 and Oct. 10. The date of plowing will depend on latitude, and the weather conditions for tho grubs go down as cold weather approaches, and lt is desirable to plow the fields Jost before? they go down when pos sible. If the grubs are abundant boga should be allowed to run In the field wherever thia con be done. Chickens sod turkeys are abro valuable aids if allowed the run of newly plowed ground. If lt la Impracticable to make asa of bogs to rid the Infested fields of grubs a deep and thorough disking should follow the plowing, and in 1015 only crops least susceptible to Injury, such as small grains. Buckwheat clover, vetch, etc.. should be planted, and by no means should susceptible crops, such as corn, timothy and pota toes, be planted. While fall plowing should be practiced and ls of great value for destroying grubs, neverthe less lt cinnot be depended upon solely to en? alca te grabs. Cornfields which wwr# kept cultivated and free from an undergrowth of weeds In May and yana of 101? may. with reasonable safety, be planted to corn or potatoes in 1915. although lt ls advisable to In spect the field first for grubs. Proper precautions and planning of rotations for next year at thia time will save many.thousands ot dollars la crops which otherwise woaid almost certainly he destmyort hy th* arfnha, * Strangs Warka to Him.

Mrs. Hose Garrison visited relatives in Piedmont last week. For several weeks we have been reading of the movement In Ander son to wipe out the cv., of tho liquor trade, and we have BIHO followed close ly tho articles In the Intelligencer In which our editor so fearlessly and courageously made the stand for right, regardless of what the conse quences might be, or how far public opinion would uphold him No one can ho?p admiring such a spirit and thc people of Anderson county should '>e proud of the fact that'at the head of her leading newspaper stands a man of this type. Anoer8on "ias nev r been the place for the practice of those things which help to tear down, a city, and when her citizens aro ful ly aroused to the need of this cam paign much good will be accomplish ed. The organization which has al ready been fully discussed will be a means to this end. It may not save ivory ovil doer, but lt might save one boy. and if it does thc effort will be 'tilly repaid. On last Sunday every Baptist Sunday school in nil our bright Southland studied the "Temperance lesson," and how forcibly lt brought to mind the truth that every man ls '..is brothers keeper. In the busy cares of every day life and in the mad rush for material things, the duty of man to man seems to be forgotten, and wo pass by .the brother who is a slave to the demon of drink without oven a backward glance. We never think of lt as a duty to stretch out our arm Into thc tossing, surging sea of In temperance and . lift up tho.se- who nre being carried away daily Men do not always willfully go in the wrong direction, but begin by grad ually straying from the path of Tight.' lt ls at this point that a kindly smile, a helpful word will do so much to re store courage to teoso in danger ot lo:.lng their manhood. So few of us realize the weight of personal in fluence. It touches,one life and that, another, and still another and so on, on, on, until like ?ho, mighty waves of the sea, it "gathers volume and becomes greater arifp goes. Each life has on Influence either tor good or ovil-and it is continually being ex erted one way or the other. Half the young men of today would noi. sink Into the depths of sin if it *vere not for somebody's influence. Some are strong enough to withstand, but it takes courage. Not all the heroes are on the battlefield. ?,,The oravest men are not always under, marching or ders. Who knows how many battles have been fought against the ranks of sin, even in the city of Anderson? Who knows how many bright boys have [ wrestled with the Influence of an evil companion against the influence of a pure, good mother. It requires true bravery to win in a fight of Ulla kind, bnt Ile that ruleth himself is greater than he that taketh a ?itv." How splendid It would be If every ? boy and every girl as well, could look up, in spite of all evil Influences and j adverse circumstances, towards that which ls true and right-not because j somebody tried to help them-but bc j cause they should be* true to them selves and their honor. Reading In a recent Issue of the Intelligencer the, letter of Mr. G. Cullen Sullivan, which wan. vo full of human sympathy, re called a time not long ago when thia I same man addressed a small group ot 'boys and girls. It was not a temper ance lecture, but it reached the heart I of every listener It was an appeal to a life of truth and worth; an appeal that they should make for themselves .a place of trust and honor among their friends; that they should strive not for fame, but towards th J goal of a well spent life. Would that all ot our leading men and citizens would pause long enough to think what lt will mean to keep the youth of the nanon clean and un spotted. ^ _ Elected Chief Of linked ? OW AMOtWhd VJPMM.)
