ITH VV TO MILITARY (JOLLEGK
GRADUATE**
Tho tn-.ri worth of mllltaty train
ing in our state Institutions is now.
undergoing its tost. Enormous sums
of money aro spent annually by state
?and federal governments for the pur
pose bf developing soldiers in time
! of need, and, with our pitifully inad
I equate professional army, it ls to be
the graduates of these institution*
J whore military instruction has been
thoiough that we turn* for defense in
[ time of need.
While it cannot be said that the
present situation excites Jin a high
degree tho latent patriotism and love
bf country with which every true
American - citlsen lo imbued, and which
bomen out wUsnthe emotion is deep
ly stirred,, yei lt ir. rc time that thor
oughly, tests the young man's desire
to repay lb a-measure, with hlo eer
ViCes, the government that hna so
beneficially furnished bim with nu
education. <.
: All cannot go with the coveted
shoulder strep. Some must be in
the ranks, other wino there would be
no soldiers for offir.?rs to command.
But In the army as well as lb civil
lifo lt ia a-case of the survival .ot the
fittc. :i, and those who have the prop
er, attainments* will soon rise above
their fellows.
/' Under the army reorganisation bili,
effective at an early date, there will
be . over ; a thousand vacancies of tho
rank of second lieutenant in the reg
ular army and those of the proper
qualifications who are now serving in
the. National Cuard will be given 'the
preference in filling these vacancies.
Therefore, niy young mon who deidre3
an army career bab now on Opportu
nity to become an officer m' tho. vcn:~

own summary of bis address.
We shall cover the -campaign meet-,
inge at Greenville, ricken u, Walhalla,j
Anderson and Grconwood by staff
mon hut. ofter that our Columbia
correspondent will send uS the reports
of tho campaign. As telegraph ser
vice is very costly, our reports of
tho campaign after it passes Green
wood ?viii necessarily be briefor. Tho
reports by our staff men aro written
after ho returns to this office from
tho campaign meetlggs, heneo there ls
no telegraph (?olla on these.
The Intelligencer ls going to fur-j
nish its readers accurate and impar
tial accounts of the. campaign from
day to day. No. matter what this
paper's editorials - opinions may be,
its news columns are alw&ys unscrup
ulously fair, truthful and as accurate
ns it is possible to make them. Some
people seem unable to distinguish be
tween tho editorial columns; and the
hews columns of -a -newspaper, evi
dently not knowing that its news col
umns .are .for tho accurate, impartial,
and truthful narrating of the news
happenings of the day, and its edi
tv*?ls? co?tsene for the excrcsPl?sr; of
Gie. raper'H thoughts, ideas, polioles,
preferences, etc.
These remarks aro Indulged in . in I
view of tho fact that wo aro per-j
fectty confident that before the cam
paign has progressed fan and in spite
of our most sincere efforts to present
impartial and fair accounts of the
meetings,, wo will be accused of ali
manner of heinous crimes against]
candidates, political /actione and poli
tical platforms. Little if any atten
tion ?hall be paid these'fulminations
of. partlsanism, and The Intelligencer
shall go on holding up Gie mirror, to

CRITICIZING WILLSON
:- - - r ?? .... - ..... ?
It is said that some oft the candi
dates for. of fice in Anderson county
are adverselycriticising- President
Wilson, Tilla'' appears > very foolish
in tho light of the fact that a vast
majority of the voters in Anderson
county, and Indeed every county ot
the state, aro loyd to Mr. Wilson .and
to the principles tor which he standB.
ie would seem that every, than tn the
county who has brains enough to bo
en tr UH tod with office should realize
that w*o have como upon a time when
patriotism should characterize every
tit?n ; in what he doon and .what he
saya.
; Tua ????nr?ncca ihnt exist - or arico
in local politics; though existent many
Gn^;. only in . immaginatlon, should
bo' quite sufficient-to engage tho
thoughts ot the ordinary local politic
ian,; and when he undertakes- to Dhow
hts brain capacity by expressing opin
ions on national politics, he la usually
oat of hts class, and ne certainly ls
not makings votes for himself. There
are men who are tolerated in o file o
by thc! r weil-wisher G and friends who
want to help them and they should
realizo Gmt. an unfortunate remark
travels rapidly and may loso them
their ofllco.
It is as fatal to'."talk too much as
lt ls to prove lacking in efficiency.
R. W. Trlbble. Joe Skelor. W. S.
Div : cr and John A. Austin spent th?
greater ' part of tho day- Tuesday on
Seneca river, ^ostensibly on Raged in
tho very strenuous work of fishing,
said fishing being done at Fortmap
and attended with the proverbial
^flshsrman'a Ipck.^ - Mr.*; . Tribble

the hardest fishing Giey were ever
;guilty of, but ?to tish, ding bust 'em,

\ taken down at sunset as ls generally
1 tho custom when they are raised over
buildings, but it. waves at night for
the people to look upon. With his
ingenuity with electrical affairs, Mr.
Holman has placed a large flood
light across thc street on another
building, and th'a ls Us ample
rays on the flag, Which enables it to
bo seen from a distance at night.
This is. probably tho first limo in
South Carolina that such un ar

which Mr. Holman.represents but al
so to the city *of Anderson. Thore
