Till? seems ly bc a very desirable thing for Hie town to do, and we hav?- thought tliat we should like to ?ce Just HUI li nu arrangement for Anderson. While visiting in other eitles, lt ls Aue to see the boys and girls enjoying themselves in th?; way children eau on thc many little and healthful de vices arranged for their sports. These can be made at a very small cost, and will serve a good purpose in bringing the children out into thc open air and giving them irish air and exercise with their companions. Surely If Lain aster can have a public playground, Anderson can. Will not some of the societies or ? lui s of the city take the matter up and provide a suitable playground for the chil dren of Anderson? . Speaking of this, the Lancaster News says: NOW that the provision for a play ground for children teems assured, wc wish to be speak for lt the support of every man. wo man and child In Lancaster. T'irough the courtesy of the Presbyterians, their beauti ful lot. recently procured, baa been offered as a temporary rallying place for the chil dren of the community. 'Wo believe that we voice the sentiment of all our pcjple when we * congratulate this congregation upon its thoughtfulness in thus providing a place of pleasure and recreation where every well beloved child may play to Its heart's content. The Presbyterians hope at some later date to bc able to build a splendid, modern church upon this lot. but meanwhile they be lieve that a profitable use or their property may be made by the chil dren or the town. When tho time is at hand ror. the. erection or the new church, we believe thut the Importance or providing an other suitable site as a permanent place t play will bc made by the town. But the ta ture will take care or Itself. It is our present duty to equip this property with apparatus ror the physical development or child life. Horb >ntal bars, swings, toboggan slides, and other equipment may be had ror an ou lay or money which will bc infinitesimal In comparison with the resultant rosy cheeks and hardened muscles, bright eyes and happy laughter. This is an investment which will psy large interest if wisely made. Ideal arrangements prov.de for a supervisor of play to keep watch over the children and forbid rough handling and rudeness. Until the experiment which we are about to make ls well started, however, we believe that vol unteers cpuld oversee thc ground and teach 1 children how to play. The Civic League is j interested la the proposition and we hope that all of our citizens a? weJI. will rally to ) j lt. Nothing else can make so roany children bappy, and a happy childhood fs a great thing In the making of any roan or woman. THE VOT*. ON 'LFCAL ADVICE" APPROPRIATION. By a vote of 47 to 45 thc house left In the appro priation of $2,000 for legal advice for Governor Manning, lt witt be recalled that a warm contro versy arose over the retention hy Attorney General Peoples of his assistant Fred Dominick, former Governor Meuse's campaign manager and law part ner. Governor Manning declared that Mr. Peoples bad voluntarily come to him and offered to allow him to select the assistant to the attorney general's office. This Governor Manning declined to ?x and Mr. Peeples then stated that he would submit to Governor Manning a Hst of names or those whom he would consider ss eligible ror appointment. This was not done, and Mr. Dominick retained as the as sistant. The matter was submitted to thc legis lature, and the action or the house lu appropriating $2.000 for legal advice was the result. The Anderson delegation were spilt on this prop osition. From the reported vote, Messrs. Fant and Reid voted against tho apptoprlation and Messrs. Burns, Hutchcson and West for lt. Mr. Wolfo ls not recorded as voting, though he made a speech against the appropriation. It la unfortunate that there should have arisen this Controversy at the beginning of the adminis tration aa to the legal advisers of the governor. We can readily understand why Governor Manning would not like to go either to Mr. Peeples or to. Mr. Dominick for legal advice. Mr. Manning says that Mr. Peeples voluntarily msde promises and gave him assurances which he did not adhere to. and Mr. Dominick was the campaign manager and law partner of former Governor Bloase^ who waa a bitter politest antagonist of Governor Manning. The relationship of the governor and the legal ad viser must be r. close relationship. Governor Man ning not being a lawyer would of necessity have to consult counsel more often that bis predecessor, who was a lawyer. ! Naturally be would wish to go to a man In whom be could place Implicit confi dence, and to one who would be friendly td bis ad ministration, which neither Mr. Peeplea nor Mr. Dominick la. He would most naturally, therefore, prefer other legal advisers. In this We do not blame him, snd were we governor we should seek a legal adviser In whom we could place Implicit trust, and who would be friendly to our administration, even If we had to employ hun and pay him personally. This ls said without any Intention to reflect upon either Mr. Peeples or. Mr. Dominick. The legisla ture bas been appropriating funds for a former governor to use In any way he saw flt. and If Gov ernor Manning bas such a fund and chooses to pay lt for legal advice he has precedent for dota r this sr employing "hedy guards," "specialoontables" or ?mat not. The legislature should endeavor to throw every safeguard around the execution of the laws ot the State, even to employing more than one law jrer. lt se much legal advice were needed. Were it not tor the political aspect oi th* situation th?re would be no quoetlon raised as to the right of the legislature to make this appropriation, and we have confidence-in Oovornor Meaning's integrity to use this or-any fund eat orated to hie care for the best in ouch manner as to re and bring adequate re "WHO Kl NM THE PA PK H f" "Who runs the paper?" asks the Anderson In telHgeucer. That lu u rather difficult question to aUHwer sometimes. If the editor is a practical man of experience, know? hf? Lutines*, and ls possessed of integrity up to a fair average, he runs lt. If ?he editor does not measure up to these requirements, it will very often take a search warrant to answer thc Intelligencer's question. In one case it might In* one Influence and in another case it might he another. We have known of cases where men who had been succi sst ul in the acquirement of money and power have devoted their efforts to controlling the newspaper in order to facilitate their schemes In pulling things over' the Community. The means employed are numerous and varied. Sometime-, they use the boycott, sometimes money pressure, sometimes social pressure, sometimes thugs, and so on. In many cases public officials run newspapers thrjuR i money subsidies and the diversion of of ficial advertising from its legitimate channels. Very frequently a paper is run by the holders of the mortgages. Hut the paper is never run very long by any of these influences; because the public catche:; on after a while and when it catches on it withdraws its support. Thc correct answer lo Thc Intelligencer's question then is that the paper must he run hy a discriminating constituency through an editor of experience and reasonable integrity or lt will not IXJ run by anybody tyr long.-Yorltvillc Enquirer. AN ANDERSON GIRL. The Daily Mail says, 'About a month ago lt was discovered that a certain young lady In the city did not know a single one of the new dances, and Binct? then site has had seven proposals for marriage." Now. there you are. Do yon not see that thcro are at least seven men in Anderson who have a speaking acquantance with Solomon? But ls there only one girl in Anderson who is ignorant along Hie lines that are especially attractive to the man who know.! what lt takes to make a good wife? There are numbers in Greenwood anti they arc as pretty as peaches. And. besides, we have girls here who are not ashamed to help their mothers in the kitchen and they are especially attractive In the parlor. Hut wc must stop.
