Judged thero wa? nothing in thc action? of tho ?triking employ?? nt the Hrogon .Mill? inst night to justify any BUggeation tliat violence waa in tended or that there were any "gunmen" who were to ho brought into action. Unies? there he very positive proof that action? of vio lence are intended, lt Is certainly very unfulr to law abiding peo ple that there should be such suggestions. Hut thero ls another view willoh ls worthy of most careful consid?ration. Tho militia aro intended for use In the preserva tion of peace only when tho local officers have proven unable to cope with thc dlflleulty or have failed lo dlschnrKO their duties. It ls not sufficient to fear that tiley may do HO. If the militia is to be summoned, congregated or called into action every timo there I? some apprehension of violence, thin most excellent body will soon fnll Into disrepute. "Familiarity breeds contempt." Tho Piedmont has approved the governor'? action In calling out tho mil it i i in Charleston. I3ut lt will Indeed be unfortunate if this action ia to become a precedent for calling out tho troops every time some excited people fear trouble. After the above editorial was put In print a despatch from Co lumbia (itiotcH Governor Manning ns denying that ho ordered out the Anderson militia or instruct ed the compuny there to hold it self In re.:dine88 for service. He heard tho reports of anticipated trouble. Investigated and satisfied himsolf that the sheriff bad tho situation in hand and was able to preserve order. In this Gover nor Manning took tho correct course. The whole roport from Anderson seemed peculiar and tho proof that ono part wm; un true naturally throws suspicion upon all of it. _____ "Force of Habit" was a happy se lection for a "title" for this editorial. Force of habit leads an editor, oeated in his sanctum sonW 30-odd miles away, to glvo vent to somo wondrous long-distance philosophizing concern ing o situation about which ho knows about as much as tho man In the moon. It would do somo folks a lot of good to rually, for once In their lives, get familiar with what they aro going to talk about before they allow tholr tongues, or their pens, OB tho caso moy be, to wag. This is Bald in no spirit of partisan ship. Tho whole affair has worked itself along to this stage without our having anything to say, and this will, In all probability, continue so. The Piedmont is welcomo to wade in and wallow in' tho goro ot the fight to Its heart's content, but beforu it raises it? popgun abovo tho trenches again lt should school Itself In better man ners than that indicated ia this clos ing line of ita editorial: "Tho whole report from Anderson seemed peculiar and tho proof that one part was un true naturally throws suspicion upon ail of lt." There's probably nothing that a do cent nowBpaper resents moro than tho Insinuation that its local news Btorlos Boem "peculiar" or that there is anything "suspicious" about them. The Intelligencer carried the samo re ports of thu expected trouble at B/o if??? mi?B Tuesday night that wero printed in tho morning papers of the slato yesterday and to which Tho Piedmont refers. .And wo aro not near ready to allow The Piedmont to scent a "nigger In tho woodpile," so far as this pap or is concerned, with out "calling" lt. . THE YEAR OF PLENTY It is remarkable that a year of tragedy and increasing want ut Europe should bo a year of such un exampled pion ty in America. Tho crops, os estimated in tho latest gov ernment ropovtB, aro almost incred ible. It's A year'ot records. Tho wheat la over 1,000,000 bushels, totaling 111, 000,000 bushels more than last year's great orup and running more than "OO.ooo.t/OO bushels, over the average for the last* five y&ars? If cork..; ?7? king of crops. before, lt is now' em peror. There are indications of 813, 0.6,000,000 bushels. That /is a trifle ot 98,000,000 bushels loss than the record production of 1918, but tho husking ui; wipe out that margin; and anyhow, with; the prices prevail ing this year lt will bo tho most yal uahls co-n crop over grown. At Oc tober 1 prices lt is rated ns worth $2.123,000,000, about twice our nation al debt. Oats will break tho record by 100, ,000,000 bushels, barley by 13,000,000 bushels, hay by 8.0DG.0??tens, sweet potatoes by 5,000,000 bushels, rles by 600.000 bushels and tobacco *y 43.000, 000 pounds. Even potatoes, which Buffered much from September weath er* ara abottt up to normal. Tho cot ton cropj while about 4.000,000 balfes under - last year's production, repre scots a deliberate curtailment, and will probably bring aa much money cs the 1314 crop. "M,': A year ago our agricultural good fortune wau due to a stroko of luck or a beneficent dispensation o* Provi dence. This year wo may properly take a good deal of the credit to our selves. The nation set about delib erately to produce moro foodstuffs than ever before, recognizing that the European war would create an un exampled demand. And tho result hus fulfilled expectations. We aro now in position to feed tho world, with mutual ndvautngo to the belligerent nations and ourselves. Thc benefit is not merely tempo rary. The keen Interest aroused in crops will remain. The new honor paid to agriculture will continue and strengthen. Farming methods will improve with the demand for greater production. Crop-raising will become moro and moro a scientific business instead of a hap-hazard sowing of seed and leaving the rest to Provi dence. And thus the war, by stimu lating our agricultural output, ls In directly worth billions to the nation. EVERY FURNACE WORKING Tho last idle blast furnace belong ing to the United States (Steel Cor poration, at Columbus, Ohio, has now been put Into operation. That means that the steel trust, controlling most or the production In pur greatest in dustry, is now work?iig at Its maxi mum capacity, for the drst time BIUCO the middle of 1907. Thc boom has of course struck the Independent companies, too; some of them In fact are moro prosperous even than tho steel trust, because of their profitable war orders. It is said that tho Arcs liavo been lighted In every available blast furnaco In the United States. Pig iron, which for several years has struggled with a sluggish mar ket, now finds such a demand that its prico has gone up 35 per cent in three months. There has been lu the same timo a rise of about 15 per cent in the price of most steel products. Iron is now being manufactured at tho rate of 40,0u0,000 tons a year, and steel products at tho unprecedented roto of 50,000,000 tons a year. All of which 1B a pretty good show ing for an industry which ono year v.-nr. hopelessly depressed. And it is just as good for the country as a whole as lt is for tho steel industry. The steel boom means that, quite aside from the war orders, tho coun try ls buying things on a bigger scale than lt has for eight years, and lt has tho money to pay for thom. ."APS Tho noonday .tap is coming- Into favor again. Not- among women, bc it known, but among men, and the biggest, most successful men at that. And tno idea is no longer looked up on os old-fashioned. It's thought ex tremely modern. Thero have always been practition ers of Uie nap habit, even lu tho most "strenuous" days of American busi ness and politics. John D. Rocke feller mado it an invariable habit ol his activo life to take a half-hour nap in his office after lunch. He had a couch In hie inner sanctum, and his secretary's orders tb . keep oui visitors during tho half-hour were ab soluto. It made no" difference v.-he carno to soe him, or what the ur gency of tho business was. The oil business might totter on tho. edge 'ol ruin, the financial world might bo go ing to smash, but for John D. the world .stopped moving for that half hour. And at the end of it he Issued forth with his eye clear, the weary lines smoothed from hts face and his breath deep and steady, ready to face any man or tackle any Job. Tou\ Johnson, famous for years as the "threo-cent-fare" mayor of Cleve land, mixed the noon nap wlih poli tics with conspicuous success. John son was a tireless worker. In cam paign time he worker, literally day and night, wearing ' out all his sjb ?Fu?n?t?s. K's- energy ?uuiiiuu inex haustible. But every afternoon, nf Lei lunch, Johnson Would .tum all thc political h nn ge rp-on-Out o? lita effie o pull down tho .window shades, stretch his portly frame on an old couch, and drop , off to ? sleep while his secre. tary stood guard outside. In about twenty minutes he waa ready for an other twelve hoars' work or fight. Now they'say the habit Is becoming general:Iq: Wall :?t^at. and there, ar? big business', and professional men'lo every'city in the country who tata their after-lunch naps unashamed Anet tt?s a curious coincidence thal they're. , generally the men that . get the beBfc of a deal-particularly in th? afternoon, when they're TreSh" M S?la les and the man they're dealing with are tired. They live longer, too. as arnie. And they don't have nervous prostration! I LETTIN? F1HE ?1AVK ITS WAY Speaking of the terrible disaster In Peabody, Mass., in which twenty one schoolgirls wero burned to death, a local pollco official is quoted as saying: t+~ "Apparently tho >\paa of lifo was not due to any lack pf P>e precau tions, but simply to the unfortunate placo in which the fire started, al most under the front steps, and to tho accident which blocked the front door." Fires havo a habit of starting in "unfortunate places." It is a shrewd enemy; it should be treated as a fiend endowed with human intelli gence/ Tho way to fight fire is the way Daniel Boone fought Indians. He would figure out whut he ' 'msclf would 4? *f ho were in the Indians' place, and ,then proceed to outwit his own plans'; and almost invariably he figured right, and checkmated the redskins. It should bo' assumed that lire will tuart in the most dangerous part of a building, that'lt'will take every lm aginary advantage of the building's occupants. (Star?rtg: with that, as sumption, neither builders nor pub lic authorities would r tolerate such conditions aa tho city' of Peabody is excusing-a school binding without fire escapes, a main stairway of com bustible material with a space un der lt favorable for flamcB, and doors which, if they did not open Inward which would have been Inexcusably criminal-wero capable of Jamming and blocking tho exit. That stairway inevitably recalls thc fatal stairway and Jammed doors of the Fchool buildings In Collinwood, O.,. whero 167 school children were burned to death in 1908. How many other stairways in school buildings, factories, hotels and apartment houses all over the United States afford fire, the great enemy, the same fatal ad vantage? sm L I N E Wk DOPE WeatH?t.

WHALEY WRITES * * + Amarillo, Texas, Oct. 30, 1915. Editor Intelligencer: I notice in your IBSUO ot the 26th, an article claiming that I "had con tracted for a carnival, etc., for An derson this fall, having Blgned con tract with tho ,Myerhoff Amusement Co., of Now York, etc. Since the ar ticle printed by you is not a state ment of the faots so far. as my con nection with the matter is concerned, and slnco perhaps you have had no way of gathering tho exact facts, I now desire to givto tho real statement Of the matter. lt bad beeu tentatively decided by the entertainment committee of the Anderson chamber of commerce lust spring to consldor starting a county fair for Anderson county; plans wero well underway-.to. secure a location in North Anderson, and the financing of the same had been considered and seemed thou to be a comparatively easy matter. There was thea and is' now a need for a county fair In Anderson county. Had I remained in Anderson in Andcrbim we would have had a county fair. About that time a representativo of tao Myerhoff Amusement Co., of Now York, which concern hud already contracted for the amusements at the ?reenwood, Spar enburg, Charlotte, Macon and other southeastern fairs, called to seo mo. ? explained, we had not yet organized our lair? but.'were seriously consid ering it. He seemed anxious to sell the amusements for the pronoGed An dersen fair. ? told him that SUB JEM' TO CANCELLATION, I would contract . for first-class carnival amusements, which I did, I including an aviation meet, which I thought would.be a good puUer. Sneclilcally reserving tho! right to cancel,- and ex plaining at tho tirao to the represen tative cf the New York Csmnany thai the contract would be sighed by th-.; Anderson County - Fair associ?tion, .though no auch Organization then in ?ect existed, but waa co sU-n< ? be cause that would bo tho name of the organization which would hold the 'fdr if held, tho representative of tho amusement company was. satisfied'and perfectly understood the conditions. . When I left Anderson;. I^wrotd tb representatives of tho chamber : .o? commerce, and void" them.lt.'they'did not Bee flt to have.a falr,_that I w??ld suggest cancellation of tl'o con tract, .os provided In' tho, contract.1 This,'lt seems, .they never,'did.. .In fact before leaving Andor?on' I- pro pared : a' ; telegram to Now York. can celling tho contract, but the Western Union' Telegraph Co., ibero had been instructed by some ono to rec?t^^o telegrams from mo for transmission.
