"Putting v.hii?. *uv yo-i* 02- - street like this ie so absurd," said a lady on the car a few nights ago, as she observed the mud on Main street in front of the postofflce. It is true that lt appears absurd, but it only em phasizes the absurdity so strongly that lt will convince the people that they [dosi vote for paving. A gentleman discussing this matter another time, said that he was told by a prominent citizen of Athens, Ga., that before the . rut issue of bonds for paving property in that city was low, but after the bondi bad been voted .nd expended for paving, that it was DO trouble to vote a second and even a third Issue for that purpose, and now the value of real estate . had ?oared to five times what lt was before. No kickers are found in that little Georgia city now, and be waa of the opinion that Anderson would have a similar experience, if we ever get any paving done. Yes, Anderson must have paving, and have it soon. A GOOD LEGISLATURE.

"The South has increased its win ter wheat acreage 50 per cent and corn average promises to be similarity extended. "A proper system of credit to be similarity extended. "A proper system of credit for our farmers 1B to be established, probably before 1915 ends. This is a consid eration of great importance. ''Heavy immigration from rural Europe .should provide our farmers with a more adequate supply of labor and should also lead to the cultivation of greater acreage throughout the country. ' '. . "Our total farm products in 1914 are ostlmated by the government at almost $10.000,000,000 Sn value, a figure never before attained. "High prices for all food producta will enrich our farmers duringr,1916? "Prosperity is enabling farmers tb buy more labor-saving machinery^ purchase better grades of breeding' cattle and improve their homes, thus making their dally life more comfor table. "Remarkable advances in agricul tural science combined with the un matched efflcieny of our federal de partment of agriculture, have greatly reduced the danger of any general failure of crops."

Upon bis return from Charlotte, where be went on official business Mr, H. A. Orr, manager of thc local hold ings of the Southern Public Utilities company, announced certain improve ments that he had to bc made by the company in local properties. The reservoir in the northwestern portion ol the city, which ls used for the storing of water for Are purposes and for emergencies that might cur tail the regular supply of drinking water, is to have a cement bottom and sides. The reservior ls fed from the titler plant on Cox's creek, and the cementing pf the basin will preclude any contamination of the water after it has been'placed in this reservior. The improvements will cost approxi mately $2,G0f\ A similar sum will be spent by the Southern Public Utlltics company in constructing an additional filter plant, which will bo placed alongside the present plant. It will havo the same capacity aa the present plant, that is 650,000 gallons per day. Mr. Orr stated that the pejple of Anderson consume about 650.000 gallons of water per day now and that the capacity of Ute pres. ont plant, which 1B G50.000 gallons, doea not give enough margin be tween aupply and demand. The new plant will be const meted of concrete. Mr. Orr announced also that the Equinox Mill had conrtacted with his company for the Installation of addi tional transformer equipment, on ac count of the nature of goods now be ing manufactured calling for more power than it it was thought would be needed at first. The horsepower will be increased from 260 to 500 by the change. The transformer now In use at the Equinox ia also used by the Townsend Twine Mill but after the new ene for the Equinox is installed the former will be used by the.twine mill altogether. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Ono of eur most noted Americans, who rendered the greatest services to the liberty of their country, was Or. Benjamin Franklin. He was born In Boston in 1706 and was the son of a poor tallow-chand ler. When a very small boy he learn ed the printer's trade quite easily. At 17 he left home and established him self in Philadelphia. He and a young partner went into the business with very little, or no cap!tat at all. and would feel very grateful to friends whom they would encounter on the streets, and who would give them a few shilling to do little odd Jobs for them. Alcng in after years he sad his Sang partner set up a printing of e and published a paper . called "Poor Richard's Almanac," which had a great circulation. Franklin waa a great ri?arter and a great student of science and especial ly of electricity. He formed the theory that lightning and the electri cal fluid are the same. He and hia son made a great kite- out of a silk handkerchief, fastened it with a piece or sharpened wire to a \ stick with some kind of a key attached to a string and went out tn the storm to fly their kite. When Franklin touch ed the key that waa fastened on to the kite, his knuckles drew spars from it, and thus he proved that there nea electricity there. This led him to lavent the lightning rod,. wWfch Is ?ow tn almost universal use. Franklin was one of the and signers of th? Declaration dependence, which was signed framed July 4. 177?. He was a man ot greato?t sett public spirit and wit. - He exer great influence tn all publie aJfal . and founded more good institutions and benevolent enterprises than any other American ot bia time. His last set was to sign a memorial to con Announcement I wish to announce to the public that I have opened a first class blacksmith and general repair shop in rear of Thom, son's Garage .

In behalf of tho Anti-Slavery Society of which ho was president, asking for the ablotlon of slavery. Franklin lived to bo 84 years old. dying In 1790. The whola nation mourned when he died. And it was said of him, "he snatched the light ning from the sky and the sceptre from the tyrants." Newspapers In the Schools. " There is Borne discussion in Boston of the question of adding newspaper reading to the public school curricu lum. In three notable articles pub lished hy the Boston Globe the writers all express the belief that newspapers should be read/ in the achocls. Prof.. D..L. Sharp of Boston Uni versity, thinks (hat. newspapers can not bo kept:'.a,way"from live children and ought to be. Much of the read ing that is done, be says, is vicious, much of it merely wasted'time, and little of lt ia orderly, thoughtful or ?truly informing, "but it !e.m.pro. wb-Qlo some than lack of intereaff or <cn 'xr ance.". . r, William T. Miller, a teacher In .tho BoBton schools, has no doubt as to thc educational value of the newspapers. He suggests that a beneficial plan for their use In the schools would be to act .the pupils to clipping items and pic tures on definite topics. In this way the work could be correlated with many subjects of the curriculum. "By assigning a topic, such as the progress of a bit of legislation, an ordinary class wi'.l bring In largo numbers of pertinent clippings. The reading of these furnishes excellent oral practico and at the same time supplies infor mation on the topic assigned." Nathaniel C. Fowler, Jr.. says he would desire every boy and girl be yond th?> primer age to read daily a good <>evfSpaper, under the direction of parent \r teacher, or both. Mr. Fowler weald make newspaper read ing "a pari of the curriculum of ev ery school above the lower grades." The Intelligent, reading of the news paper, he adds, ls absolutely essen tial to education. . Newspaper reading undoubtedly to educative. As a factor for public en lightment it is second only to the schools. Tho newspaper, of course, ls not perfect,'and there are many dif ferent kinda ot newspapers, some of them hardly to be recommended tor reading In school or elteivbero. But most papers strive for acr/ura?y. None of thom IS perfect, but many, bf them are making progresa . It is doubtless possible t? make use of theffi fe/ ad vantage in school work, but whether they are put in the curriculum or not tho wideawake school children will read them and will profit thereby.
