Governor Manning in a recent ad dres?| before'the Y. M. C. A. at Green ville] set forth some of the advantages acco?!n~ to any ?viisiminity on ac ton,:* si ?ne presence of this organi zation. Governoi Manning's idea is ?hat 'a progressive community cannot afford to do without the agency of the Young Men's Christian Association. He Bays: "From my experience In Sumter, I know the difficulty in get ting business men to step forward and take an active part in this work, yet it ls a duty of the elders, and the business men of Greenville, to exer cise their influence in Axing this in stitution in its rightful place in this community." What applies, of course, to the cities of Sumtor and Greenville, applies with equal force to Anderson. The question ls not whether Anderson can,afford to have a Y. M. C. A. build ing, put the question is caa Anderson afford not to have a Y. M. C. V Build-? lng abd a Y. M. C.'A!. organisation. Governor Manning, continuing said: "As ,we advance In civilization, our problems b come more complex, jiorl* than''eyer before our young men/arj1 ' leaving home to scok their livelihood and moko* their piares in the world. They are flooding tho cities. Consider what the Y. M. C. A. means, and cab ! do for those men. Here, they lind an open door to a second home. They ac cuse in the Y. M. C. A. dormitory, safety from ..io temptations of other surroundings. The first few months ; In a strange town means the making, j or the blighting, ot a young man's ! career. In this connection. I do not ' see how we can get along without the j Y. M. C. A. ( I "You burliness men know how char- j Acter counts In business. Tn the de- j volopment of character, this associa- j tlon means a great deal. If a business j man has yoting employees, who are* members,**/ the| J*. M. c.

Vt. beennrf* lt'in not Intended as a money-making or ganisation. It ls not for the ^r I ch boy add young man. but for all classes. The poorer they are, the more neces sary for them In Y. M. C. A. If the Y. M. C. A. were self-sustaining, the poor boys could not enter its doors. The community must shoulder thc financial burden because the com munity most benefits from the service of the Y. M. C. A. So much for what Governor Man ning thinks of tho Y. M. C. A. We; regret' very much the seeming Indifference among the business mon of Anderson aa to tho fate of the Y. M. C. A. organisation in this city. Whllt? lt seems.that financial troubles . will stand lp tbs way of continuing the wprk, we cannot hut feel lt would bo a good fnveatmeat from every point of view for this organization to be kept intact, and for there to be not only an organization but a building which would do credit to the city. This is a proposition in which the en tire fity should be interested, and if the people could be brought to realice tlie tmportanco of tho Y. M. C. A. to the moral life of a community, we do . not feel there would be any hesitancy, or any doubt, but that lt could bo mod? a permanent institution. Thc Intelligencer trusts that when * the Mme come? for a decision on this . ? mt matter, that the forces whirs.. ?re behind the moral up-1ift of i.raanltyj will pr?domin?t*., and that, Anderson ?ball have not ont? . ? v M C A. organization, bnt a HOW OTHERS SEE IT. It is n good idea for those who are i contemplating tho proposer! hoad is- i sue for Anderson County, to learn liow Informed persons tn other States look at this matter. Wo are in re ceipt of u letter from Hon. John C. Druwery,1 Haleigh, N. C., in which he ays "If your county will vote thia i bond issue of $;r.O.O0<> for god roads, it will lu- thc very bwt Investment ; Hutt ..".II cab possibly make." The . .tv ftfoie* ?bo have become i . u !. med lp good roads look at the proposition is an Indication of bow the people or Anderson County would look at lt aft ?ir tte' lasue had been voted. There eau be no mistake in a i business way for nur people to sup- ! port this Rood roade bond treasure, I and this statement is made advisedly. ; The arguments which have boen ad- j tranced so far in opposition to the pro posed bond Issue are no doubt the ! sincero convictions of those ndvane-! lng them, but the Anderson County of today Is very different from the An derson Count y of -fifty yearn ago. and the roads which were good enough then are not Rood enough now. The population of the county has in creased and tho amount of traffic on tho roads lisa aWo'greatly Increased. The competition which every one bas to meet these fltryB requires that every blt of economy shall be prncticed pos sible either in the-,way of saving, or In the matter or iitillty. Time is what counts, and if thc farmer or business man cnn by reason of having good roads. Increase tho efficiency of the means used for transportation, then it is economy to provb'e the very be3t means possible. That a team can pull greater loads and faster, with less wear and tear on a vehicle, over a good road than over a poor one, i ' an accepted fact by all informed persons. Tho Intelligencer has shown that the cost of building good roads is within reach of the people, without placing on them a burdensome tax. What we wish now to do is to show that lt ls h good business proposition, and one which Insure splendid returns on IK? "Investment. THE TOSSTITCTIOX SAYS.

Tt is said that Mr. Johnson ID not a mcmbor of tho 03rd congress, and that ho Is therefore eligible now to this appointment. Hut this is a mere technicality. Mr. Johnson wns a member of the 63rd congress and is now a member of the 64th con gress, and when the spirit of the rulo , ts considered, he is no more eligiblo now than he waa before congress ad journed;. The president has lately said that he would not givo recess appointment? tor per son s whore their ' names ka?*' peen rejected by the ssn ate. aa ha cattarUlered such action would be against tbe spirit ot the law, though he had tue legal right to do so.
