Tile delegation from this county, and tbe citizens of Anderson und of the county at large, would do | well in considering th?> matter of bonds for road ( work fr the county, lite erfect that its failure of t passage would have on the county at large, and the ( distinct ad vantage it would give Greenville County , over Anderson. Greenville County is not at all slow to recognise this, and is already commenting on the powerful leverage this would give business , Interests of Greenville County. This sentiment 1B voiced in the following editorial appearing in yqB terday's Greenville News: Thc paved highway? which Greenville County will have within two years, will make this the undisputed leader among the coun ties of the Piedmont section. Where good roads are, there will be good school atten dence. more sociability, more prosperity. People from other sections of the country who uro In search of a home, will look for that community which has good highways. People who live in such a community will have little cause to wish to live elsewhere. Greenville County has the national- advan tage. We shall have the other kind oi advan- h tages before long. The average man of this county would be surprised to know what extensive comment the action of the delegation bas caused throughout the State. Men in all communi ties talk of thc good roads move, and so far asi this paper has heard, there is little but . commendation for the Rood roads propagan da. Greenville city will become a hub of trade when the roads are built. Gi eon ville County, nnd other counties v>f this section, will have a readier market for their wares. The prosperity will reach all classes. The million dollars which will bo invested will bring in un mini dvldends which far moic than Justify the expenditure. Wc apprehend that tho great stumbling block in the way of our delegation's acting on this matter, is not submitting it to a vote of the people. This is rut Iff a nt liing departure from accepted cus toms, and is likely to subject the Greenville dele gation to severe censure, and would also subject the Anderson delegation to equally severe criti cism. Desperate diseases demand desperate reme dies. The roads in Anderson County need to be made durable und lasting. To defer this acticn, and probably to lone it. will mean that there shall be delays and continued IOBBCS. It is, therefore if ever such be the case, proper that immediate action be taken. As the Greenville News again says: Should the bond issuo have been left to a vote of tho people? It would have been de feated. In all probability, if it had been left to the voters. And having once been re ferred to tho nubile, it wm d have beon more or loss binding upon subsequent delegations to take similar action. In the meantime, Greenville County would have continued to flounder in the mud for some five or ten years to come; wasting money each, year for temporary road work. . . To have played the game of politics In Its accepted form, the delegation should have ordered a reference vote on the bond Issue. But tho delegation has risen above playing the game, and has acted with initiative. Tbe ' votera nr.-, :?.fipo?ed to elect men who have sense enough to know what to do. These men are net to bo tied band sud foot, and robbed of all initiative. This road matter was an emergency question. The county ls vastly dammed by the condition of the roads. The came condition night recur again next winter. All know that something should have been done. Yet had the bond issue been left to a vote, we should probably have quailed before lt Bot now that the delegation has taken the step, this paper believes the majority of people are glad of the action. The roads are essential. We all know that. Bo why delay? The delegation's action was "nervy," but the men who represent this coun ty were acting in accordance with the best principles ot community development. There was no chance to go wrong along this line. Good roads have never failed to bring pros perity, never failed to augment the value of property, to save time, stock and vehicles. It is a truism to say that good roads are val uable. Everybody knows that. The delega tion knew it. and so knew lt was acting in accorda ice with accepted and proved truths of what ls best for s community when the million dollar highway system was decir* upqn. Circumstances must often govern the ac tion of a delegation. Circumstances must determine whether or not an election should be held to fill some office, or to decide upon a bond issue. A delegation which ls glided by circumstances will commit actions which are sometimes a trifle inconsistent upon the surface, but so long ss our representatives nA>ir vvith the r !.*!:* *""* ?.*-- -?-?* - - that sud, most of us are reasonably well sat isfied. In this road question, the end wtU justify the means, and it Jr tho and, after all, that wo are most interested In. Had an elec tion been ordered, not half the noople would have understood the question. They would have had nightmares about increased taxa tion and poverty. Th? delegation understood tho question; knew that taxation would not lie appreciably increased, and that Immense - ' benefit weefd accrue. Knowing this, the dele v gatton had the nerve and wisdom to act. QJIE WHO "NEVER DOUBTED CLOUDS WOULD - BREAK.** We know a man in Spartan burg who has rever squealed, yet, aa to hard times.

ECONOMY AND FERTILIZER DAY. An important meeting will be neld at the court nouses of all the counties Saturday, pursuant to a ali made by Governor Manning in a proclamation setting uside thisasa "Fertiliser and Economy Dav." On this occasion tho people will assemble and rea son together as to how they may safely and wisely use commercial fertilizers this year, and as to how they may be able to economize and add to their store means. These raee'.inga are to be held in con junction with the work of the county farm d?mon stration agents, and these officials will be present and distribute literature on the subjects to be dis cussed. Prof. J. X. Harper of Clemson College has pre pared a very helpful bulletin on the subject ''Use of Fertilizers Under Present Conditions;" and Rev. W. H. Mills and Prof. W. H. Borton of Clemson College have written a treatise on "Economy in. South Carolina." These gentlemen are earnest students on conditions in this State, under present environment, and what they say will bs read with interest. Both these subjects are of vital Interest to the people of the Stute just now, ard there should be a general attendance upon these meet ings and practical and helpful plans should be worked out as to the conditions confronting the people of the country. No question is causing more anxious thought just now among the farmers of the State, and of the South, than that of using fertilizers for the present crop year. Many debts contracted last year for fertilizers have not been paid, and even if the farmer could get credit for an additional supply, it is a question whether or not it would be wise for him to incur tho additional expense. But this is a debtnble question, and the best thought of the peo ple should be given to the correct solution of it These bulletins will be most helpful. LAZY FARMERS, DON'T READ THIS. The United states Department of Agriculture, the state boards and tho experts air over tho country aro urging the farmers of America to cultivate every available acre during the coming year. The war in F?rope assures the sale of almost every thing that can be raised. Every article that is ex ported to feed the soldiers and the citizens and the stock of Europe means Just that much less for home consumption, therefore, even with big crops of everything, the prices will be high. If lt is not a good crop year the farmer will at IcaBt raise enough for home UKC and will not have to pay the high prices that will prevail. Utilize every avail able acre for grain, grasses and vegetables. In many sections farmers aro urged to try a double acreuge of potatoes. It should not bo necessary, under proper conditions, to Import potatoes into any agricultural county. Put tho hens and the turkeys to work and give them a square deal. Raise pigs, cattle and horses In as 1 rge number? as the accommodations of the farm will justify and any losses that any farmer, planter or rancher may have sustained last year will be more than made good. The war in Europe may laat for months or years, but while it continu?e there will be an active demand for everything we produce, iboul ; the war end this week the nations engaged will need all our surplus products for a year at least. Take our advice, for once, and do not permit good, tillable land to He idle in 1016. IF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED. Don't contradict people, even if you're sure you are right. '"??n't be inquisitive about the affairs of even your meit intimate friend. Don't underrate anything because you don't possoss IL Don't believe that everybody else is happier than you. Don't conclude that you never had any oppor tunities in life. Don't believe all the evils you hear. Don't repeat gossip, even lt lt does interest a crowd. Don't jeer at anybody's religious belief. Learn to hide your aches and paina under a pleasant smile. Few care whether yon have an earache, headache or rheumatism. Learn to attend to your own business-a very important point. Do not try to be anything else hnt a gentleman or a gentlewoman; and that maana one who has consid?ration for the whole world, and whoae' life is governed by the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would be done by."-Christian World. THE BOARD OF REGENTS. / A hospital under Lie administration of a superin tendent to the governor scarcely requires a board of regenta. A board of regenta that may be ap pointed during the term .of a governor is pretty sure to he subservient to that governor's whim. In South Carolina the term of governor ls by law two years; by custom it is four yean-or so hss been in lau .:r timon The tendency in this Democratic ?tate is to re strict the powers of the exacutive. Wo hope the tendency will persist. That tho State hospital can be more efficiently controlled by a board of regents Utan by the governor scarcely requires argoment tor ita support. A board of regents composa ot mecer? ap pointed, znn at a time, nt ia<crviUs of two years, is pretty sure to remain permanently free from executive domination. With auch a beard to elect a superintendent who wlil bo responsible to It, the concentration ot authority Indispensable to ef ficient administration of the State hospital may he hoped for.-The State.

BER 3 I S ENCOU ''.JUNG Seven or More Miles of Road From Equinox Mill West Was Dragged. A long stretch of public highway on rural free delivery route No. 3 has been put into splendid shape with split log drags manipulated under the direction af public apiriud farmer* living along tho way. Messrs. .lohn and Albert ?ienn, sons ot Hon. W. H. Olenn, started with split log drags at the Equinox mill and worked the highway aa tar as their home, a distance of some four miles. At a point near the home of Mr. Olenn, the good work waa taken up by Mr. R. 8. Harbin and carried as far as the residence of Mr. Thomas Henry Eur risa. At this point the work was taken up and carried for a considerable distance by Mr. J. L. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds did not have a split log drag, but he did some very effective work v ith a steel harrow. farther on along -this route some splendid work was done by Mr. J. W. i Garrison. At the home of Mr. W. E. i Bskew, at Denver, Mr. Eskew has be gun with a drag and worked the road as far as Welcome church, a distance of some three miles. * Messrs. L. B. Hambree and Marcus King have also drae some very effec tive work on the roads between the county homo and Salem church.
