Thia is more than double the amount of wheat grown In the Soul h. We should Invite farmers from the Cana- : dian Northwest who are skilled In KrowliiK wheat to come to this section and buy our lands. It would be prof itahle to thom, foi they could prow two crops on tho same land, following . the wheat with corn or cow peas as , a soil builder.

Yesterday made four months to the day. The estahlishing and development of this paper within that time has been re markable, und tho reception accorded the paper has been- very gratifying to the owners and to the manage ment. It does seem quito a feather m the cap of a city the size of Anderson to have a paper taking the complete dis patches of the Associated PreBS, es pecially In a territory that has been .so cut . up by other morning papers from Atlanta to New York.? These four month? have been very trying on the men who make tho pa per, for there were many things to be learned, but wo now feel thnt the pa per ls running smoothly and that the things that we havo learned are for the good of the patrons, and we pro pose to make this a better paper each day. Tho paper lias a force of capa ble printers and other workmen who bav? been udded to thc citizenship of tho community, some bringing their families. The business manager's illness from a severe attack of pneumonia bas In capacitated him for awhile, but lie is back in harness and In a short time wilt have recovered his strength. He has made many frlendB in Anderson, and they are plensed to see bim back on the Job. We propose to add new feature: from time to time; to give as much .'sports'* and otner Interesting ne*s ns possible, and we have the promise of a number of special articles. What we earnestly desire is more of .the In teresting reading that comea from our friends In the country. \ RKAI'TIFI'L OAT . lt wa? a lovely day. Tho dire pre diction was that Easter would be drearyi Rut lt was a day Ideal. The whole world was riotous with gor leous color, nature's adorning of the forests and fields. Tho hirds seemed to wake all at once, and sent forth the sweetest carols over hill and dale. Living was Joy for them and eoBtacy of anticipation. The old world threw oft.the gray garments of whiter and decked hcr ?self in the brightest raiment of spring. iWoma" lovely creature, laid aside her 'Chrysalis furs and wraps and came forth gorgeously arrayed in the great est profusion of color that the shops have ever produced Into garments. The church laid asid,, the sober vest ments of the hallowed Lenten season land assumed the spotless new robes of the Eastertide. The whola world was glad. Nature exulted, man rejoiced -the angels sang in unison with the ringing bf the "crystal sph?res"--for He who was dead ha? arisen. Tho Son of Man passed through tho winter of Immolation, of suffering and of death; but the Spirit laid upon him .he hand of healing. Ile laid aside the grave clothes for the garments of eternal lire, and came from Calvary's tomb to brighten the world with tho gladness of the r?surrection.- . K?st cr. the rising of Nature from her winter couch.' Easter, the rising ot the sont, of maa trowAtoe lethargy of coldness, the heart warmed by Ute gracious sunlight of resurrection: Easter, the Tlshig of the. Son of God from the ?)?>..(. of the grave to a Ufe of glory which f adel h not away. Th* church hells chimed a glad ac-j claim; the Ham ti ty of Hi? church wa?| doubly sacred; the music had Dior? <>f li ea ven'H anthem in it; the beautiful I flower0-. God's dion est offerings, were laid in bountiful, beautiful sacrifi?e upon the altars of Him who gave them j beauteous 1 ir?*. The lesson was ever new, though Us 'theme waa old. lt wan a beautfiul day. a day which typefled the transition from winter to? spring, from sleep to waking, from denfli to life, from sin-to Joy In the! Consciousness of a risen Redeemer. ' For I know whom 1 have believed. ' and am persuaded that I am able to keep that which 1 have committed| unto Him against that day? THK SHORT ll ti l. Sometime ago we discussed the lo- j cal cotton market condition and ex pressed the hope thal Senator E. 1>. Smith's grading bili would put all markets on a parity, and prevent the N'orxh Georgia points from having any advantage. There ls another consideration that enters into tlu? case -the long haul and the short haul. We would recom mend to the people of Anderson that they get good roads and shorten tho haul. Otherwise Georgia will draw cotton from tills side of the river on account of their good roads. J. J. Fretwelli who has heen over on tile Georgia side recently, reports the roads over there much better than on this aldo. Torn J. Holt slates that a few years ago Georgia looked upon Anderson as being 2? years ahead of the counties across the Savannah. tins Georgia people nave caught up and are getting ahead of Ander son. Let us build more roads and better ronds and bring more trade to Anderson. HONT LET IT HI N DOWN One of the beat pieces of road way in the country was the Williamston highway. This was built nearly three years ago and should he an asset of the county. But we are Informed that ?here are numerous bad places In the road. I Mayor Vance Cooley and President i Duckworth of the Williamson Cham ber of Commerce, who examined the road Saturday, 'declare that with just a little, work it can he made as good as it 'ever was,-The spilt. Jogi drag- af Don't ..let this one run down, Super? j visor King. ^ -, A ?OOH SELECTION Francis H. Weston, United States district attorney, has begun well by ! naming Senator H. W. Crouch of Sa-1 Inda, his assistant. Senator Crouch ls a splendid man and a good lawyer. The State Senate lias lost two good ? men In Senators Weston and Crouch. Willie this paper did not particular- ; ly favor Senator Weston as an appil- ? cant, y??t we .*tsh to express the belief ! that as district attorney he will make j a splendid record. He ls a capable | Inwycr and a man of vigor and force. His first move shows that he will sur round himself with good men. YOl'K BOY What ar,, you going to do about your boy? Surround him with temp tations in order to accustom him to them? Or will you : keep him in ig norance of the vice of th3 world? It Is better far to keep him pure and beautiful and spotless-Just as . .*' . . >P?| long as you can. '?Pera pta t lon s will come unsolicited-and all too soon. Keep the boy's mind healthy, abd re-j slstance wil be lesa difficult. Oh. the anguish of the parents of wayward sons. It Js pitiful. And! yet the sons might not have fallen prey to sin had the parents kept sin aw ay. "Look not upon stn with the i least degree of allowance." That ls the advice of the good old prophet andi i poet of the Bible. ? Surround the hoy with an environ ment and an association that will strengthen, encourage, buoy him up. And is there any environment stron ger'than the church? This isa com munity of churches and of church his tory and of church influence and church tradition. But this is not all that ls needed. The church ls dear to 'hose who have' been reared within i the church. But !h these days Of cos mopolitanism' and of centralization, the people are drifting to the centers of population and the cities are grad ually drawing In the young men of th? villages and of tue country. What are we going to do with them and for them? It appears to us that there la noth ing Gist would be more ot an asset for Anderson, thai would 'build up thia city more rapidly by drawing hither the best class pt young men than a Young Men's Christian Assoc! .(ion. -itu a beautiful, spacious and cor"'_. tabb- hom?'. Kar be it from UK to advise that ibis is ?he time to BUggeftt such a cam-l jiaiKU tu raise the iunds. That is a| maller of which friends of the in-ti ttil ion must weigh carefully. Hut we! do say this, if the directors decided to pul on lids campaign, the people I of the city should respond and there should h(> a buildiug which would cost at least 175.000 and perhaps I $100.000 for we would he buildiug for the future. We admit the deter-] niination of t lie* board of directors and: whatever they ci I! upon thc city to do. we believe wll meet with a ready! response. We have heard that'one dis tinguished man of Anderson, himself once a country boy who hud to fa e the temptations of the city, and nus never permitted himself to step aside' from the part of right living, la] thinking of starting the fund with a| subscription of $10.000. If he does so,; the remainder will be easy to get. We have put up a lot of money for our girls, now let us do something for the boys. Let us put up a Y. M. C. A. building, if wo are called upon to do so. And then let us reward that splendid Christian gentleman who has given of his time, of Iiis strnegth, of lila sulary to keep in operation tho in stitution for thc Christian education of the boys of Anderson. Let us not forget Dr. Frazer in any undertaking that we may put forward, for we be llevo that a boy's school will be a great asset for the coninunitv The matter to be settled immediate ly, however, is whether or not to put on a campaign for .the: building of a handsome home for the boys of the Y. M. C. A. of this city. If this momen tous ste" is '.::!:.- :: let ?rt bc done for our boys, the little fellows that are coming on. Surround them with all possible protection for the battle that is to come. THE DEMOCRATIC (M BS There appears to have been some misunderstanding somewhere about the date and time for the holding of tho meeting o? the Democratic Clubs.

Bouhan), county chair man, hau given >tae papera the official notice in accordance'with the require ments of the constitution. Jdt will be a.matter, pf regret.to Gen. Bonham's friends ,to learn that he cannot serve any longer as "county chairman. He has already made ar rangements to spend the month of August in ? ! pinch needed rest. He lias boen chairman for four years. Gen, Bonham's effort to preside Im partially have been1 appreciated, and those who know th? inside of matters in Anderson .county realize that he has over measured up to the standard of a man. _ - - m mw- ? - . There 1B quite a similarity between the Spartanburg Music Festival and the various State horse shows. At one, people claim to know every thing about music when they could hardly carry a tune in a wheelbarrow, while at the other those who don't know the difference between a mule and a steer will freely comment upon the 1 fine points of the steeds exhibited. Wo will; say to that Standpipe Man from Belton, for whom we claim no .esponsibllity by the way, that the reason we nominated Bill Stringer for a placo on the. reserve board ls because Bill is so naturally reserved. -m> *>?*>-?
