Much interest w"? manifested yesterday over the proposed bonds for road improvement in Anderson County. There ?cerned to be general fsvor to this proposed bond issue, and many were heard to ex press the hop? that the Anderson delegation would do the same as the Greenville delegation, and in clude Anderson in the list of the counties to be favored with a campaign fort good?roads. Ander son will have paved streets before another Christ mas, and it would he so splendid for farmers to have a good macadam road to tiie city limit and then paved streets in tho city. This improvement would be worth all it would coBt in one year, and we have no hesitancy in guaranteeing that if this matter were done und roads built as will be the case In Greenville County there would not be a kicker after the work was finished. The matter of cost should not stand in the way. Anderson Coun ty is lots more able to have good roads than she Is not to havo them. The cost of not having them is much greaser than the cost of building them. The Greenville News has the following to say relative to the issue f_r Greenville County., and !t ls so applicable to Anderson County that we pass it on to our subscribers: Apropos the expenditure of $1,000,000 for tho construction of permanent roads in Green ville County, it will be well to consider certain facts as to the taxation In the county at the present time, and tho possibilities of an in crease caused by the large appropriation. Thc couny auditor's books show thal taxes are colleted on $16,515,505 worth of property. Of this sum, the Hy of Greenville pays upon $5,577.010; Greenville township upon $4,661, 812; Greer upon $510,175, and the railroads $1.318,490. The meaning of these figures in this connection is that the city, the mills and the railroads pay approximately 80 per cent of tho taxation of the county, and the farmers pay approximately 20 per cent. These estimates may be slightly In error, but in the main they aro correct Where does the objection to the appropria tion como from? A part of it (if there Is any) comes from the rural districts, and it is this part of the kicks which we wish to consider at the present time. The farmers will pay but 20 per cent, of the cost of tho highways. The benefit which they will derive from the roads will far more than offset this payment. It would not be a wild statement to say that the farmers wilt reap more than 50 per cent, of the value of the highways. Certainly, then there should not be any concerted objection to the appropriation from the rural districts, and The News does not believe that there is any con certed objection. These comments, however, are made fur the benefit of those who are Inclined . to think that the delegation la placing a bur densome debt upon the farmer. There has been more or less prejudice against the city, and tho assertion is heard, at times, that the city ls running the county ac cording to its own notion. Consider the facts: The city has paved its streets at its own cost, and the farmers use tile streets. Now the city will bear a greater portion ot the debt of the rural roads than the county will bear. The city people will use these roads lt ls trjue^and twill benefit vastly by them. Hut none will benefit more than the farmer. This, surely, ia not s case In which the city is "putting some thing over" on the country. The following ls a crpy of the bill as introduced by the Greenville delegation: A BILL To authorise and empowdr the supervisor of Greenville County to issue coupon bonds of said county In the sum of one million ($1,000,000) dollars for the purpose of permanent road Im provements In said county. Section 1. That the supervisor of Greenville county be and he is hereby authorised and em powered to issue and sell coupon bonds of said county in the sum of one million ($1,000,000) dollars, the proceeds ot which shell be used by the highway commission of Greenville County for permanent road Improvement under the provisions of the act establishing said commis sion passed at the regular session of the gen eral assembly ot South Carolina of 1915. Sec. 8. Said coupon bonds shall be Issued In such denominations as the said supervisor shall determine and shall bear lntorest at a rate not exceeding five per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually on May first and October first of each and every year. Sec 3. Bald coupon bonds shall hear date aa of May first A, D. 1915 and shall be made payable on May first A. 1). 1915. Sec. 4. The said bonds shall bo signed by the, supervisor attested by the clerk, sealed with the sesl of- his office and the lithographed sig nature of the superviser to the- coupons of said bonds shall he a sufficient signing ot the sama Sec. 5. That the said bonds shall he disposed of by the supervisor for cash, st not less than par, at such times and in such amounts .sa the work of the asid highway commission shrll re quire, and upon such notice by adve.-tlse.aent and competitive blda as the supervisor shall deem proper. Soc. 6. The proceeds of the tale of such bonds shsll he placed by the supervisor with the county treasurer of Greenville County and shall by him he kept separate and distinct from all other funds;, they shsll he paid ont upon the order ot the said highway commis sion acording to the terms of the said act. Sse. 7. That there shall be laved annually up on all the ?axaHe property tn Greenville Coun ty a sum sufficient ' to pay the Interest cou pons as they sholl tall due and also the sum - ot ten thousand dollars annually wale?: shall he placed tn deposit at interest In some rellsbls savings institution as a sinking fund for the retirement of said bonds. Sec 8. This act shsll go Into effect im mediately upon Its approval hy Ute governor. .The horn of ocr diplomatic dilemma Just now is Werner Horn, tin German officer who attempted to destroy the railroad bridge between Maine and Canada. 9 1? KKK M? HKS OF It Ki HT MUST BK FEARLESS. There is great similarity between the work ot newspapers, which have a proper conception of their duty to the community, and ministers of the Gospel. In fact, so generali} is this recognized that the great trinity of agencies working for the up building of the country are conceded to he thc* pul pit, the school and the press. All are great edu cators, and aro supposed to inculcate truths es sential for the uplift of the people they serve. This great work has to be done by fearless men, and women who do not hesitate to do their duty in the face of discouragements and odds, and who are not afraid to condemn the errors of superstition, the wrongs of the people and the signs of the com munities. All teachers have to run counter to the views of many, and the evils of ignorance and vice usually breed opposition to the sources of light and purity. This accounts for the opposition to newspapers when they undertake to make public the crimes and wrongs of a community. There will be many who will commend the fearless newspaper, and there will be also some who will condemn. This is on the principle that was expressed so long ago in thlB couplet: # No man ever felt tho halter draw With good opinion of the law. The Intelligencer knows what lt is to run counter to the opinions of those whose wrong doings are exposed-given the whito light of publicity. Re cently this newspaper began to publish the names of all offenders against the law, and we believe it has had a restraining influence, and many a young man who dreaded this publicity has been kept from committing some act that would have brought shame and disgrace to his family and friends. They will thank this newspaper for this some day, even If they do wish to "thrash" tho reporter for "putting my name in your paper." Only the day before yest -lay a young man accosted our news man and told him that If hiB name went Into the paper the following day he would kill him. Of course, our reporter WUB terribly frightened and quaked In wardly that he had only a short while .yet to Hile, but the name went in just the same. There have not yet been any funerals as a result, nor will tbero be. Such bluffing never goes with a newspaper man who has any grit, and most of them have a little. The editor of The Intelligencer ls a great be liever in specific attacks on crime. The prophet Nathan Bald to David: "Thou art the man!" which was much more forceable than if he had told David that some king had been guilty of his crime. Un less specific attacks are made on wrong doing those guilty are prone to feel that the other person is meant. No evils are corrected by kid glove hand ling this day and time. The newspapers, the pulpit and all teachers must teach correct living, and in sist upon it, and when there have been violations tbey must be strong enough to speak out de fense of the right. Of course there will be opo sition even to threatening, and sometimes, taking of human life, but duty done ia a good armor plate against the attacks-of those who prefer wrong to right Tho Intelligencer baa nigh Idsain tor this community and shall stand for them, and for the enforcement of law, and correction of vice in any form. The poor man and the rich; the friendless and the friendly should all tare alike before the law. Thoso officials who wink at vrong in high places, and condemn lt in low, are not worthy of trusr, and should be supplanted by stronger and more manly men. W<? should condemn any efforts to intimidate thoso who wish to stand for the ri ?ht, and uphold, tho hands of those who are fighting for a better' and a cleaner city. In thia all of us will be alike beneficiarles. Let us stand for the right in Ander son at all times. WHO RUNS THE PA FE HI In a neighboring county a clergyman took the editor of the local paper to task because the editor accepted a certain advertising contract The good man forgot that for years.the editor had given freely of his space to help the church; had printed columns of notices of services, meetings, suppers, entertainments and lectures, all free. In donating this space the editor had given more than the equivalent ot cash. He had given publicity, and thus had done more to support the church and pay the minister's salary than any three members of the church had done. An editor has but two sources of income.-his subscription Hst and his space. Yet, In this case,, when he sold hut apace he tost a subscriber. Of course, no one need subscribe to a paper unless he wishes to do so, but no sub scriber should want to dictate to the editor as to what ho should publish. Many editora will not ac-, capt certain lines of advertising. Other editors cannot afford, perhaps, to be so independent. Business conditions often govern these matters. A rich and prosp?rons Philadelphia weakly ot national circulation for years declined the adver tisements of cigarette manufacturera, - Business hss fallen off lately for many of the big magasin?e. I Now Hut paper Ia accepting cigarette advertising. Perhaps the editor feeds the money, and who shall blame him it he sells bia apace to the American Tobacco company?

Squally worthless are the assertions that it was not Germany who began I the war, for irrefutable documenta exist to prove the contrary.

M. Sarnoff then described what he ieclared were German efforts to sow discord among the Allies by' spread ing reports that one or the other ot them desired a separate peace. The foreign minister said these efforts had j resulted in a pitiful failure. Referring to. events which brought f Turkey into the war, M. Saznofi* said: , "All the acts of the Turks since the * appearance of the cruiser G o eben In ? the Dardanelles ha\'o been committed t unded the pressure of Germany but : the efforts of the Turka to evado re Bponslblllty for these acta could not prevent them from falling Into the * abyss Into which they were rolling."
