COLUMBIA'S LIQUOR FIGHT Columbia is just now In the throes of v. campaign to close up the places wht.-o liquor ls being sold illegally. This U. Tory hopeful, and we truBt the good people of our capital etty will succeed in making of the city a place'as clean aa any city in tho coun try. As an example to the rest of South Carolina, the capital should be pure and spotless, and there should be no let up till such reBults are ac complished. We hare no doubt, from what we hear7, that lt is a much harder task to make Columbia olean than it was for Anderson, jin that.dty there bas .been, unbridled llconBo for years, and if re ports ore to bo believed the tiger was aa open and flagrant In the violation of the liquor laws aa it is possible for any violation to he anywhere. In this etty the "gentlemen's" (?) clubs flourished, and lt has been consider ed perfectly proper for the well dress ed and well-to-do to go to hie club and imbibe as freely as if he were in hie , own homo. Of course where such n condition is allowed to grow up and exist, the men lower down in tho social and financial acalo feel that they should also be allowed to have 'their clubs, and one can readily see the multiplication of clubs and places ^whore liquors are illegally sold. This ls true in Anderson as well aa in Columbia, and the liquor sold in the so-called gentlemen's clubs 1B sold Just as Illegally, aa if sold In a dive on a back street to which entrance ls gained through a back alley. Colum bia realizes this now, and some of her fearless and true citlsenB are engag ed in a struggle to put them out of business and confine the sale of liquor to the county dispensaries. But wd doubt if tho city officials and the police force are so much in earnest that they will close all these social clubs. If they do not, however, there had aa well be nothing don?. All men should be equal before tho law, and if one place can -jell liquor in open defiance of the law all others should bo allowed to do the same thing We.do not charge them with it, but ; the newspapern in the capitol etty which has so bitterly and persistently fought the dispensary law, till they have created a prejudice against lt and in favor ot licensed barrooms, / may feel that they havo had a hand m creating, sentiment which haB (prac tically overthrown the legal sal" of liquor In the Capitol City. But they are to he congratulated now on the fight \ ring made for the legal Mle of liquor. Here's hoping the forces of ' right may conquer. APPRECIATES THE INTEUI GENCER frSSlift: intelligence!1 ?? constantly iii receipt ot communications- from per sona desiring to keep in touch with .Conditions in Anderson and the eoun ??j',- feeling that in no other way can ?iaey. geep properly posted os to\ what ia being done ta the best connty th South Carolina. The following was ?ved frota on Anderson - boy ' in A ?i ii IL poilu: "Life in almost lin possible nix hundred miles from "My Town" without daily now? of Home kind, and I know of nothing more enjoyable than the Anderfion Dully Intelligencer, HO enter my subscription imm?diate, ly." A reminder of an approprlnte ThankHgiving remembrance; a year's subscription to tho Daily Intelligenc er. lilt I NO MAIL EA BLIEB. ' Montion was made yesterday of thc poor mall service given tho people of Anderson on account of tho schedules on the incoming trains. It occurs to Tho Intelligencer that If the carly morning truln from Greenville over the Piedmont and Northern lines were made a mull train, and the Anderdon mail transferred there instead' of go ing to Seneca, that the bulk of the mall at least could bc advanced ma terially This suggestion ls made for what lt Is worth, and those whose duty it is to look but for the public along these lines might do well to look into the mutter and ascertain if this change could not be made. ALSO CITY ATTORNEY The attention of the editor was call ed yesterday to what might be taken as an intentional omission in the re marks concerning tho questions asked of the present City Attorney, C. Cullen Sullivan, EBq. The Intelligencer de sired bim to answer these questions because -he, perhaps,- is in a position to answer them as well, if not better, than anyone else in the city. Of course it is generally known that his partner, J K. Hopd, Esq., was alBO City Attorney when the matter was brought up a tow months ago. CAUSE FOB THANKS Has it occurred to the readers of The Intelligencer that Anderson has much to bo thankful for in the mat ter of railroad facilities these days. Why, compared with what used to be, the people of the city should feel like patting themselves all the time on tho great improvement that has been made. Soon there will he complet ed one of tho most up-to-date pas senger stations for the Blue Ridge in this-part ot the State, and to follow a little later will be one for the Char leston and Western Carolina. Then the Piedmont and Northern will doubt less follow with an'improved passen gor station, and with the splendid schedules maintained . on, all. these roads, the'people of the city and coun ty can travel as never before. - THE FAIR SPIRIT . The great success of tho Mountain Creek Community fair held yesterday at the school of this name was to be expected. It shows conclusively that the people of this county have thc fair spirit, and that something should be dono to catch lt while thc enthus iasm remains The resolution adopt od by tho directors of the Chamber of Commerce, endorsing a county fair movement is to be commended. By all means let us have a great big fair next fall. Now ls tho tune to begin to plan for it, and -let everyone get busy on lt "Babies need the ballot," declares one of our State officers of the Suf frage League. Will somebody kindly lend or rent one ballot in good re pair until wo can snatch a few night's rest? Please enclose directions? The Columbia s?i*e says: Tba whipporwill would soem to be an ap propriate ern pl em for the Allies." Guess so, but who would dare sug gest the sweet William as the tri na tiona' flower.? -o As U. S. N. A. is seeking new markets for her foreign trade, why doesn't somebody grind out some real lullabies- Pa (in Spain) and Ma (in Madrid) surely have sung their's to a frazzle by now.

This linn afterwards became famous as the supposed boundary be tween the North and the South or be tween the free or slavery holding States. From lt came "Dixie" the cognomen for the South, which has been Immortalized lu song and story. The was surveyed at the Instance of William Penn and Lord Baltimore. Tho surveyors were three years In making the survey from the northeast ?.orner to the foot of Savage moun tnln. In 1707 the work was finished from the latter point to Virginia, now West Virginia. The line is said to huvc coHt $:{u0."0() and the surveyors employed an army cf one hundred ax-j mcn and ? road thirty feet wide was cut through the dense forest. A mix-' ture of sand and lime stones of light brown grayish color were brought ov er from England to mark the line and j these stones were Set up at intervals of ? mlle apart wherever it was poa Bible to erect them. They weighed 300 pounds and were 4 1-2 feet high. On some parts of the line tho country , was so rugged that mounds of dirt and rock had to be sub? tituted for these stoner. 1 Letters Fron Joins War on Tigers.

We hear on every side and read every day about BO many crimea and what is the cause. Blind tigers. Yes, there is not a beast in the jungle so libree and strong and as poisonous and deadly as the tiger that lurks around almost In every corner. Where are our law abiding citizens? Can't they take the strong arm of the law and make tho tigers get 6n their knees? What value to a town or communi ty is the man or woman that will bo so indifferent and unconcerned as to not take a stand publicly without fear against this great and awful demand of our Southland.

Let ns dry our tears now- laddie, Let us put aside cur woes; ?R 15, 1914 nd Now Today the Mason and Dixon line ha? been re-surveyed and remarked and divested of its chief erroneous traditions. In 1849 a revision of the Sine was made by a joint commission from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware and it was then found that the original survey was so nearly ac curate that the change involved by the correction amounted lo lese than two acree which were added to Mary I land. In 1903, Pennsylvania and I Maryland euch appropriated 15,000 for the restoration of the linc. Many of thc peculiar English stones had 1 disappeared and the c ommission made exhaustive search for them. The I identification was an easy task, for j on breaking them the stones emitted fa sulphurous odor. So thorough was (thc search that sr.me wore found in the curbing of streets and in people'B 1 collars. One was taken from the wall ?of an old stone church where lt had 1 done service for many years. In the ! places of those that could not bc I found new stones of marble were set I up. On. every fifth one of these, the ?coat of arms of William Penn was cut I on the Pennsylvania side and on the ?Maryland side the escutcheon of Lord i Baltimore was placed. On the others ' the single monograms r. and M. were \ cut. The stones are now set -so near one another, even In the mountain re gions, that, the traveler may stand at a stone and see the next one. % The People them they will have to stop. It's no child's play. No, but the tigers are luring off our children and catching them at every corner and isri't that enough to make us light. It's our duty to our loved ones and our town and homes to put them down and out. Let ?B take customers and busi ness and other things, not counting thc cost. What are the tigers costing our boys and young men, many of them the very cream of our towns, and community. The call goes out to one and all. Will we not hasten to I he rescue? Can we not throw out the life line to'them and save them from these dreadful beasts that will surely destroy tho body as weil as tho soul? Let us rise up like a mighty army that will sweep over the land and crush out this giant, this demon so fierce and strong. Onward, Chris tian soldiers, marching as to war, ln| desperate earnestness fight this dread ful foe. Pelzer, Nov. 18. Let us go and {alk to daddy, For I'm sure daddy knows.
