Today conditions are re versed. Hundreds, yes, thousands of families take the daily paper even though they are forced to pay for it weekly, costing them anywhere from 10 to 15 cents. And this ls not to be wondered at. Who would not pay that amount for dally entertainment? it goes without saying that 'this is the cheapest pleasure, amusement and enlightenment to be found on the murket today. It is not only food for serious thouKht, but the modern daily carries lu addition to Its news of important moment, many features which prove a recreation and cause: many u hearty laugh as they are perus de over the breakfast table and re ferred to during the day. Thc weekly paper has lt? place. There ls no gainsaying that. But it is thc daily newspaper that tho man of learning, the business man. the ploughman and the daily iuborei look to nowadays for news of their town or city, und, In' fact, the entire universe. To The Associated Press ls due credit more titan any other nows service for tho up-to-the-mluute news reports that ure to bo found in the lending dallies pf the North, South, East, and West.v While there are oth er services, good ones no doubt, still the old'A. 1\ ls always foremost. Tho intelligencer has used the A. P. re ports slnco lt was first Introduced In Anderson ns a dally. And the fact that this service ls more dependable, consummate in it's world-wide search for news great and small, makes it easily understood why wo have se lected this news service of the many others now available. What we started out to aay con cerned the dally paper, not the Asso ciated Press. But as the eulogy of. 'the A. P. was a natural part of the explanation of the pur,-,se and func tions of the modern dally, the diver sion como only natural. So back to our subject. The vast pnd growing Importance of tho daily paper, it's rapid develop ment into an Institution of world wide recognizance, was fittingly dem onstrated by The Chronicle", Augus ta's morning paper, which Inst week gave a dedication, so to'speak, In celebration of. the paper's oocupancy of^it's new plant, tho former newspa per home/ having f been destroyed in thc recent great fire suffered .'by that city. Itv SvAs'sold, that not less, thoa 3.0*00 people passed through the pa per's new (quarters to Inspect the plant. No ether Institution, commer cial, social, civic, or otherwise, hnB over brought together such a large assemblage on an occasion of that kind. The dally paper, the morning paper especially, has developed - into an In stitution of wonderful moment. And -It 1? here to stay and grow even greater. . "ROOSEVELT INSINUATION Col. Roosevelt hnB said so much about what the people may expect If he.is nominated, and elected' President tin:: the Republican delegates, ami the people who elect them, will do well to pondor over his impression to go abroad that he would pursuo a policy rigidly adhering to American rights and principles, and he would make no allowance for what others might think about his course. One gathers irom his remarks that he would not bo In harmony with the vie WK of a great many citizens', tor he speaks In a way to frighten those who have v.ny pac?fl?\ 'tendencies . what ever. Ho appeals to the chosen few who'would bo willing to stand up for an unwavering, determined' attitude I:, rcapct to foreign affairs, no mat ter what the con sen neus cs might I bo, and there ls th? Impression that' lie would make. short shift', of explana tions and negotiations. J .,' Col. Roosevelt's appeal to patriot ism is one thing; hlr, appeal tb -the people to make ot patriotism, an ar? bttr?ryvaffulr "Intecapered with, reasons or judgment la quite another ' thing. i^^J^aifv-; tM?ratea the Wilson: adminis tration lu respect to Mexico and Ger many. Judging from what he has said, Col. RobBt velt would have dealt with Mexico In, such a way that interven tion would be inevitable"^'- tte wd?ld have sent to Germany an ultimatum that, would have meant wari This would hAve been Col. RosavelVa no tion of the right Way ol measuring up to American rlghti? and principles. We have heard' a good deal Of; taikw along' thia-linc, from v.thVr. sources, ;ih?u?Hv much qt lt orNtToabtful sin tferity! The common" impression ls that theproplenui that!. -hUU; e?it$? are in ta fair:way to1 solution and that there baa b?en no sacrifico of Ameri can honer,* Among; those who have been spoken of as Republican candidates Coi. Roosevelt is the most impulsive, and he ls the most lu favor of the malled fist as u corollary of patriotism. If he is nominated by force of clrcum stances which Republicana may not bc able to overcome, there will be no little apprehension as to the possible result of his election. GOODBYE, CADETS! All Anderson bas enjoyed the visit of the Clemson cadets .thia week and their going nway this afternon will bring to a close a period that the younger set will long remember. There ls a something-we shall not attempt to describe lt-In the bearing, or the deportment, the general appear ance mayhap, of these gentlemanly young men that endears them not on ly to their contemporaries In ago, but to all of un. We hope they have enjoyed their stay as much as.we have enjoyed hav ing them. And If the boys go away wi t li aa good un impression of -Ander son MS they I*?;*"" n' Clemson -md themselves tlie encampment has been) a brilliant success. Good-bye, fellows! We hope that your lives, every last one, may be liv ed ns free from criticism as haB been your conduct In this, tho best town In all Carolina, this week! Abd ;we'll be looking for you next year.
