By conducting the city's affair as though they were their own. and by applying the same strict principles of business that they adhere to In the management of their personal mat ters, the paving commission has lu the letting of contracts for street paving saved the city fully $25,000. The details of the manner in which this was done ls Interesting, but it ls not necessary that that be gone In to in thia connection, it (a a fact that by giving close attention to the matter of securing the best contracts and on the best terms, for doing the city's paving the commission has sav ed a large sum of money. It Is a fine testimonial to tho ability of these men composing the commis sion, but that ls not the point of this comment. The Incident ls cited to show what can be done in the man agement of the city's affairs when competent men arc placed in charge, and when they make a business of managing these affairs as judiciously, as they handle own personal matter*. Those who had the pleasure or hearing the splendid lecture hy Mr. Dixon at the chautauqua ^desday night on the sabject of "Tb* Social Survey'* or "Taking Stoik of a Town," will appreciate probably more than those who did not hear ths dis course the accomplishment of the paving commission in the matter of the street paving ' contract letting. Mr. Dixon's treatise on the commis sion form of government for muni cipalities waa' for ceful and convinc ing. /" The truth of much that he said about the advantages of having a etty's affairs looked after by a paid manager or managers, of unquestion ed business ability and Integrity, who would make lt their special and only business to conduct these affaira along strict business lines, ls borne out strikingly in lois rxshievement of tho paving commission in saving the city of Anderson this largs aum of money tn the letting of contracts for the pavement.. While the paving commissioners do pot receive pay for :helr * services, they sr? looking after the city's in terests a? closely au though they were paid large salaries to do that and nothing more. They are exceptionally patriotic citizens, howrr?*.,-and busi ness men ot rare ability, and trey JU*; to be congratulated on' the ad mirable manner fls^hl? thsyr ha?e hdndled this matter and sr? deserving of the highest i-raise and thanks pf the public generally. AN AKBRRSON BOY. There I? nothing of more value to Anderson then her young mee. and p?ihlng of which tho people ought .to be vuore proud than the-Bucees? with which thea? young'men are meeting In their lita work. Especially pught lt to bo ot source of pride with citlaeos of Anderson when ?ter young men go out in the world away from heire and achieve success, and are rewarded for their efforts.' For of what is i community to be proud if lt is not ber sterling young men and her noble young wo men, na whose shoulder* tho'respon slbllltles ot the country are to fall are many years. What ls of more value to a community than these, whst ls more lasting? These thoughts were prqanp'.ed by a personal letter which the editor re ceived from sn old friend, and in which he tells something about the success ot an old Anderson boy. liv ing away from here. ' Th? Anderson boy In. question ts Marshall Craig, than whom there were , none more popular and moro highly esteemed by ell at the time "ho msde his hom? here. Following, his graduation from Forman University a few years ago he went to Wl?mnlton, N. C" where, be served ss assistant pastor of the First Baptist church, one ot the lavg est Baptist churches tu th? Ststo of North Carolina. The pastor of that church has resigned and Marshall Craig has been appointed ar?Ung pas ter by the congregation, which num bers some 1 .SOO; as large or larger than thai of the First Baptist church of this city. The letter aler, teds of another honor conferred opon this Anderson boy. We had lt la mind to writ? an article teaed on the fact'? giver, in' this personal letter, but as the Utter Itself, or portions of it which moy be printed, tell th? story so well, we quote it: "I thought the people of Anderson would be fruin u? hear pt the success of MT-'uaH Craig, or perhaps I should say the Rev. W. M. Craig. He graduated at Ku man two years ago. aa you know. ?Since thea ho has been assistant pastor of First Bap tist churo? here, Dr. Foster, cur postor, is leaving ta become president j ?f Bessie lift, Jua? 1st Bo last Sun- j MsrshaH . wa?, sallied aa acting I pastor of the first church lu North Carolina, having about 1,200 mero < ber. He waa recently called as professor of English in Bessie Tlft College, Forsyth, da. This he refused on ac count of unsettled conditions in tao church here because of the pastor, Dr. J. H. Foster leaving. The peo ple here all love Marshall and he 1B one of the most popular preachers In the city. "I think his many (rienda In An derson would like to know this, so I am writing to you tor you.know him. "To .be called aa*Bcjing pastor of a large church jr,, this and UH profes sor of English .to a college like Bessie Lift la quite a compliment to a man as young a? Craig. Piesse don't men tion my name in connection with this He does hot know thr' I am doing this, and I don'* want him to know. He ls in Houston. Texas attending the convention at this time*." NOT BEFORE THE COITIT. Nobody who knows Justice Hughes ever supposed that he would consent, even tacitly, to become a presidential candidate next year. In the Washing ton correspondence of the New Yorli Evening Pont; some weeks, ago thc subject was taken up, and" the predic tion was then made that If the tall of Hughed ss a possibility came fror under cover, be would give it a qule* tus, This he has done. His state ment is very flat. The reasons he assigns for not per mitting the use of his name do Mm a great honor. He ls so jealous r the dignity and unsulllied repute ' the supreme court that he considei any members of lt as removed from even the suspicion of desiring a political office. So there will be no Hughes candidacy, for Hughes will allow none. The question remains, however, whether a nomination unanimously offered him br lils party, as the only way to meet a great emergency, would oe peremptorily declined. To that contingent question Justice Hughes does not address Liraself. It Is not yet before the court. PRACTICAL TOWN. PROMOTION. The question is often asked, what practical things caa be done to ad vef tise oar town. In some places the citizens weer "booster, buttons"-except when they go out ot town where the advertising might do some good. Some towns take write-ups of trade papers. If these periodicals have a real circulation, tbts ahould have value. Frequently the circulation ls confined to people who buy the write ups. In some cities busniess men print cuts of local scenes on their corres pondence envelopes. But you ' can't make a town seem attractive merely by a photograph of the brick walls of some factory. You nsed tb show pleasant streets, attractive building trees and other foliage, to givo some Impression of taste and civic self re spect. Statements ot a town's advantages are often circulated on letter heada and envelopes. These are so detailed that few people read them. Still they help the citliens of a town to respect their own achievements. Many towna display a town slogan gt the railroad station. These mottoes are often boastful and Impossible. If U.?y cor^ntrate in a phrase some real seri ? th? town ls rendering, the iov> ls excel lent Campaigns for new Industrias are common. These ar? hqpefut where the citisens are wi" ?lag to devote tinte snd money to the effort . All these Ideas are good If well .handled. But the most effective method -s the cultivation of town spirit 80?? Pispes are full of people who always disparage their hon? place. They think Otis shows that they are per*0*18 ot nne discrim ination. Thia attitude repels would be resident?, and dlscoursgea how? enterprise In oth?r towtis th? rltisens Uk* all possible occasions to speak w??l ot tt?lr own community. They com mend its school, churches, social Ufe, an? business puah. They ??dd away program* of . entertainments, pictures of attractive scenes. Lnews popers containing report? of notable ?venu. Wh?r? a town baa that spirit it becomes widely known. It can't help growing.

Chunanooga News. Itf 1? greatly io the credit/of the English public tuat lt Is frowning on t?tt*inpts of some raVllcala/to foster hatred between the Brilia! and Ger mans even in war. There are two ?Movements to carry 00/ auch a pur pose. One of them if the Antt-Ger laaa league. The oth/r is the British iVtriotie league. Tile Anti-German League has a pledg/as follows:' I "We, the undersigned, agree to gether to use oujf best efforts to com bat German trae and influence in Great Brltaityand undertake to t-m pley no German labor in our cftlces or home, nor handle knowingly any-1 thihg whist is of German make or origin. We will deal avith no shop", ban UM ur hotels where German la hoi Is employed or German goods uold." The following very admirable com-4 me?t is made by the London Dls-T patch on this league: ..'i he whole thin? ls on outrage od ommon sense and no national nig iiity. We want no. autl-Oermaj leagues or leagues to prevent En? llshmen from doing business with or talking to Germans. We want leagues to get soldiers to defeat G?w many, crush Prussian militarism and alow the subdued common sense and humanity of the German nation ?to assert Itself. We .want leagues to ac centuate the- magnificent Impression made by the king's example in inn ning the consumption, of wine, sprits and beer in the royal residence. J We want leagues to encourage the work men in our ammunition factorie? to. Increase their output, leagued to deepen national efficiency for thrfpur pone of the war on which our whole future depends." lt is but natural that hatred should be intense between Germany and; Eng land during this war. But if there is any reward the' world hopes Jo get, from this terrible catastrophe if is the sweeping away of the armed rivalry between the two great power? How ever thc war turns out, it is ton lie in terest or civilization that the ?alanc? of power question, the international hatred, the miltarlstic questiop all he sett Ide. To begin at this time to fos ter bbtred for a period not only.tast ing as long as the war lastn.wut run ning after peace has been secured.' is foolish and vicious.
