Disp?tenos appearing in afternoon
, papen of lite State yesterday under a
t Columbia dute-line read UH follows:
In u slntenient gires out today
Co vernor Matting denies incon
HlMteney In offering rewards for
de rapture of persons accused of
erlme.. The statement uns mude
In ?len of t??e criticism of his of?
ier of a rewnrd for au alleged
negro murderer of Abbeville, who
1 hld lieeu reported lynched hut
had escaped to Alabama lt Ix
thought. "I hate rein MM} rewards
In cases asked where there wan
no special reason except that the
criminal had not been arrested"
stated the governor.
When rewurds were offered he
avrrred the alleged criminals had
made good their escape. Relative
to the Anderson county case the
governor said a reward was re?
quested before the officers had a
fair chance to apprehend the al?
leged criminal. "I rannt do my
duty as 1 see it even though I am
criticised for so doing" con
cludes the statement.
1 Zounds, not much "Inconsistency"
in that, eh? Just plain, every-day
; common sen<re. But it is no less than
i we expected. In discussing this mat
1 ter previously, we asserted that wo
,. were confident that Governor Mnn
' mug would give from -the stump next
1 summer, in the event he stands for
re-election, an account of his stewnrd
, phip ti nt woud be entirely satlsfac
t( ry to his followers- and confounding
to his critics and enemies. Governor
Manning chooses to give this account
in g, with respect to the re ward business,
at-the. present Instead of walting un
til next summer and giving it from
tho stump.
' It's no use arguing about the mattar
further. Manning is dead right about
tho proposition, and that is all there
ls to lt. Those who have "Jumped
on" him about the matter of offering
a reward in one instance and not of
fering a reward in another in stance,
cither went off half-cocked or belong
to that class of "metaphysicians" who
deny that "circumstances alter cases"
and that a man must be consistent at
; any price, doing the same tiling every
time, In every instance and in the
same manner, regardless of circum
stances. Might as well argue that
the taking of human life is murder,
regardless of whether the. circum
stances surrounding the act make lt
puro and unadulterated murder, man
slaughter, a killing in self defense or
> an accidental killing. 3o much for
that
But mark you the ?? 'i of the
mah: "I must do my f .< at I see lt.
even though I am cr Unified for so do?
lng."
That's Richard I. Manning. A man
- who dare? to do right who dares to
obey his conscience and who dares <o
perform his duty as he sees it, re
gardless of the cons?quences?. Nor.
much of a "politician," you aay. No,
thanks be to God, there's not
Governor Manning's mistaken have
been mistakes,, of "policy," and noth
ing more; his intentions haye boen
good. "Policy" and "politics" have
io place in bis make-up. South Caro
lina has suffered for "policy's" and
politicians'" sake" so long it la a ro
1 lief to havo at the helm a skipper who
darna to drive his ship athward tho
current of "politics."

NMJTR/ LITT.
At the convention of the Gencan
Amenican National Alliance In Son
Francisco, Dr. C. J. Mexamer Ita pres
ident ?..imotwtrated the genuine ncro
irai Hy of tho organization as follows:
"I do not want to he prophetic,
bi t I believe that tho future will
prove us right f?j?W???j?, ?a*
must conic when the American, even
the holdout Anglo-American, will ud
mlt thut the German-American "is the
mont Americanized and therefore tho
most human of ull neutral American
citizens."
And he capped his argument with
th?- words:
"Hall and victory to German and
Austrian arms on the seas, on land
and In the air."
After that but bu mt, when Dr. fleas
mor adds. "I must say that I have
been proud of my country lately," a
plain American who can never hope
to rise to such hyphenated heights
of neutrality may be for?lven for
asking, "Which country?"
AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.
^Several complaints have already
bren hoard on the a.reels in regard to
thc reckless driving of automobiles,
which seems now to be getting an
every day occurrence in Anderson.
At tills particular time, when many
of tho streots are torn up because
of the street paving and traffic be
comes isomewhat congested on certain
sections of the open streets, more
caution than ever before ought to be
taken by automobile drivers. A lit
tle extra precaution will not cost
much and probably mean the avoid
ance of serious accidents.
On the main streets of tho city
automobiles aro seen running at a
very rapid rate every day, especially
at night itbne. Some of the streets
ure taken for regular speedways and
someone is going to run a little too
fast some of these nights and thereby
cause a serious accident.
Anderson baa been very fortunato
In thc past In not naving serious' auto
mobile accidents, and much of this is
duo to the "drive to tho right" signs
and the vigilance of the police.
Tis summer timo now and the peo
plp are having a good time, but they
must not forget that by running their
automobiles at a reckless speed they
not only endanger their own lives but
thoso of others also. They do not
moan to speed and be reckless, but
it they do forget, the police will have
to kindly tell them that ?iey are hav
ing too good a time and are not
thoughtful enough of tho value of hu
man lives.
ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS.
The Intelligencer takes the trouble
to print each day at the top of the
first column of the editorial page this
notice, among others: " Anonymous
communications will not be noticed."
And yet in spite of this we receive
frequently items of nows and articles
tn tho nature of statements setting
forth views of the writer on some
subject which arc not accompanied
by the name ot the person writing or
sending in the same. In view of the
rule of this paper to discard anony
mous communications, Uieso unsigned
news items, announcements, state
men ta etc. fail to appear In the
columns of the paper. And no doubt
persons sending in such items "get
sore" when tiley fail to see them in
print, never knowing that lt ls a'rigid
rule ot all newspapers to publish ho
article of which the author is not
known.
The Intelligencer does not require
the names ot authors of communica
tion.) tor the purpose publishing the
writers' name, but must havo tho
names aa an evidence of good f:-'th
In other words, wo have to know
whether the author of a communica
tion ia a responsible person and that
what he writes ls trustworthy. It ls
simply h precaution that all newspa
pers are forced to take, and one that
they adhere to rigidly the country
over.
Some days ago we received a com
munication in which a vitrollo attack
was made upon a merchant of Ur!?
city by one who signed himself mere
ly "Anderson MUI Worker." As this
paper does not knowingly publish ar
ticles of a defamatory ^nature, even
when \h?y are accompanied by the
signature of the author, this com
munication, ot cours?, found its way
Into the waste basket
We bave before us at present a
communication reading "Dcatb of
John M. Jolly." The artirie ls a,
proper one for publication, so far as
we know, but there is no mark shoat
lt to Indicate Its authorship. As uh
terned communications of any and
All sorts s re consigned to the waste
basket immediately upon receipt, this
would be the natural course this com
munication would take. But we are
making an exception In thia ins rance,
for we realise that the article, which
concerns the death of a good cltlson,
ought to be published. We will hold
lt until tho author of the article makes
himself known to ns, and then we wEl
proceed to print U. But under ?br
rule ot. rejecting. all unsigned com
?uaicat?ons-a rule .which ts adhered
to most stricOy-we cannot publish
lt uutll the aulbor ia known.
IPIIOLDING OL'lt CITIZENSHIP
If un iiiiiii'/-.rant wants to go back j
and fight for hts fatherland, that iu !
nobody's business but his own. Hut <
If be &9 4n the way of becoming an
American citizen lin must start ali
over ugaln when he returns to Amer
ica.
This ffcet, important to hundreds of
thousands of men from many lands,
ls j,dinted out by the federal depart
ment of labor in a recent announce
ment. Our laws provide that an ap
plicant for citizenship must have re
sided In tho UnSTed .States for live
years confnuously Immediately pre
ceding tlie filing of hi j final petition.
The courts arc holding that absence
from the country for the sake of per
forming military duty in a foreign
land breaks that continuity. They
hold, further, that thu original decla
ration of the immigrant of his Inten
tion to become a citizen ls "vitiated"
by the oath of allegiance to a foreign
soverlgn which ls required in all, or
nearly all, European armies.
The ruling 1s not made expressly
to meet conditions of the present war.
It Is based on a judgment handed
down in the case of a Greek who de
clared his intention of becoming an
.\merlcan citizen on July 6, 1909, and
then returned to Greece in December,
1912, to fight in tho second Balkan
war, remaining there until March,
1914. Ho ho not disqualified from
becoming a citizen, but hie citizenship
ls delayed five years.
This is an admirable policy. It
tends not only to uphold the value
of American citizenship, which many
new-comers regard too lightly, but it
emphasizes the fact that this nation
baa no connection wt;h Hie Euro
pean war, and neither directly nor
Indirectly lends' any sanction to par
I tlctpation in it

I On last Saturday She Lingett and

to a close and iliefe wa? much excite
ment right st the Issi because ot
large numbers of votes cast by some j
of the leaders in the race.
ilu.v one whole week has passed
since thc contest was closed and aa
WHS stated at the time, the winner
will very likely be announced today.
It has been a very long week for j
sonic of the contesants, especially the ]
three leaders, Messrs. Olin Sandon;.
Kuriuan Geer and Cant. Rowen. All
hov* had tweet dreams of the motor
cycle but as yet none of their dreams j
ha\e had an opportunity to be reallz-|
ed
Olin Sanders, it Is sUatcd, dreamed
one night this week, that he was as
sisting in capturing a noted escaped
convict and was riding his motor
cycle so fast that he could not stop]
when the man was- overtaken and
accordingly sent it into a sand bank ]
on the side of the road. The crash
r.wo? e bim and he found that he was J
.still in his bcd and it had only been
a dream.
Ptirman Geer dreamed that ho rode
te n lire on the machine one night and
was Just tickled to death with the)
way ii ran. The speed was great and
he was very enthusiastic about his
prize but when he awoke he was j
morely riding along on the fire truck,
a ga,3 concern, but not a motorcycle.
Probably the best , one is told by
Cart. Rowen. He dreamed that he
was riding along on a perfectly good
road when all at once he saw some
holes ahead of him and forgetting that
he was on a motorcycle and not on
an interurban car, he turned on the
gas. thinking he was signalling tho
motorman to Blow up, and the speed
was greatly increased. FaBter and1
faster went the motorcycle until at j
latat it crashed into a telephone post.
Daddy Bowen woke up with a start,
but instead of having been hurled
through space of the contact o" the
motorcycle and the post, he had only
fallen off one of the seats at tho in
terurban Btation where he had been
talcing a little nap.
