Intelligencer. Publishetl?cvcry Wcdneulay. ?5. F. CLIKKSCALKS, ^ EOITOltS and C. C. Lani?ston, s Proprietors. THUMS ONE YEAR, $1 no SIX MONTHS. - - - ?.? WEDNESDAY, JAN. S, 1902. There seems to be no special need of much legislation by the d'encral Assembly, which convenes next Tuesday, but the probabilities are tha( the full fort/ day.s allowed by the Constitution will be taken up. It is said that Senator Hanna has received in the appointment of Gover nor Shaw, of Iowa, to the olhce of Sec retary of tin: Trea>ury another em phatic intimation that his influence with the present administration is not as powerful as he would desire. Some of the newspapers, and even some of the politicians are borrowing trouble about the disposition of the surplus iu the treasury. They needn't worry; Congress will not ouly make way with the surplus, but perhaps create a deficiency. The I'nited States must soon reach an ultimatum with the Filipinos. Already the islands and their inci dents have cost us nearly ?f>00.000, 000. How long the people of this nation will consent to pay out a half million of dollars every day to pro long this experiment in imperial co lonialism is anunguessable conundrum. Hut that they will tire of it eventually is certain. One of the greatest needs of the times is the raising of more bread stuffs by all our people engaged in agricultural pursuits in our county. There is always a demand for corn, because it is the very basis of all our breadstuff^ and stock foods. No farmer can afford to raise cotton with which to buy corn?in other words to buy his meat and bread. It is too risky a thing to do. The statistician of the department of agriculture has lately returned from a trip to Europe undertaken for the purpose of arranging with the Euro pean governments for an interchange of crop reports with the I'nited States. The negotiations were successful, and it is expected that the plau will bo in operation next autumn. The step is a very important one. Heretofore this country has had to depend upon private sources for information of for eign crops, which was always incom plete and sometimes inaccurrate. The value of such reports to the Ameri can farmer is considerable, sinco the prices of American farm products are largely influenced by foreign crops. Skillful and aggressive leader ship of the Damocratic minority in Congress will be of tremendous value to the party and to the country. The present session of Congress may bo made an educational session to an exceptional degree. A firm and faith ful defense of the people's cause in every instance of the evil legislation now contemplated by the Republicans will mean ultimate benefit. In the Congressional* campaign s this year, as in th?* Presidential campaign of 1904, the teaching of the acts of the present Congressional session should mean ^deserved profit to the Democratic party and a regained security for the American people. Mark Twain, it is said, has written a book which is to be published in a hundred years. His purpose, doubt less, is to let our descendants know about us in a way that the literature of this day would not allow. But the American humorist has been quite out-done by an Austrian professor. The professor will leave to the museum of Prague $15,000 with an interesting condition. This is that at his death all his personal belong ings, including his clothes and furni ture, shall be packed in air-tight cases and preserved for 200 years, so that the people of that future age will be able to know exactly how a professor at the beginning of the twentieth century lived. From January 20 to 25 inclusive, a Good Roads Congresb will be held in Augusta, Ga., and earnest efforts are 'oeing made to influence the at tendance en masse of the people in the numerous eounties surrounding Au gusta. The railroads will put on special rates, and speakers of national reputation will instruct the people upon the economic value of good roads, the roads of the world, best methods of construction, the legal necessities of this section, etc Ad dresses will be made by Hon. Martin Dodge, director of tho road division of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture; by M. O. Eldridge, assistant director of the division; W. H. Moore, president of the National Good Roads Society; Superintendent Machen of the U. S. Free Rural Delivery Sys tem; by Governors Candler of Georgia, and the State geologists of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolioa. of South Carolina, Secretary of Agriculture Wiisou ban written from Washington that he will als endeavor to be present. A train of teu or twelve ears of the latest road machinery will be on hand, in charge of the National Good Roads Society, and road making and working will be carried on for the five days under the direction of that society for the in struction of the public. With this machinery the most rapid, economical and modern methods of road improve ment will be shown. The public exercises and addresses will occur on the 23d and 24th, and much good is sure to result from the meeting. The ioilmving gentlemen arc appointed to represent Anderson County in the Congress, and we hope every one of them Mill attend: County Supervisor J. N. Vandivcr, Chas. S. Sullivan, Lcvi N. C.eer, W.

II. Anderson, II. H. <"ray and C. II. Bailey. We are indebted to Attorney Gen eral Bellinger for a copy of his report as to his investigation of the Virgiuia Carolina Chemical Company, the al leged fertilizer trust in this State. It covers, with the exhibits, some fifty pages of printed matter, and it is a p:ipcr that is full of interest from first to last. The Attorney G encrai details what steps he has taken and reports fully what he has discovered. Ho also recommends to the General Assembly the adoption of certain pro posed measures which he thinks will wipe out the trust evil from South Carolina. It is the beginning of a long fight aud one that will occupy much of the time of the G coeval As sembly at its coming session. Aaron Items.

Miss Maggie Kay and brother, of Belton, were on a visit to relatives here a few days ago. Messrs. W. O. Gnyton and Cleveland Rico paid a flying trip to the William ston section last week. They report a huge time. It was a great shock to our people to hear of the great calamity that has be fallen Anderson and the surrounding community in the destruction of the Portman dam. We trust ere long to know that matters huve been put in original shape and everything working smoothly again. Beat wishes to The Intelligencer. Observer. Jan. 4, 1902. Roberts Items.
