Tho low price of cotton in the South lias made ready money so scarce that a great many people, whlto and black, have been thrown out of work, and it is more necessary that we do something for the?o people than that we feed the Uolgians, however important and laudablo that may be. It will bo a hardship on most prop arty owners to pay their share of the -oHt of paving, but the city can fi nance it so that payments can be made aver a number of years. All those with whom I have talked are willing to make the sacrifice in order to help 'heir neighbors. I suggest that as Boon as the legis lature ratines the amendment voted at .ho last election allowing us to pave ind collect part of it from abutting property ownors, the', the city author ities, in submitting the question of jondlng tho city, do it with a provis ion that instead of Jetting the work jut by contract, that the cltv will employ a competent man to take charge of the work and employ the Itizenn of Anderson only until all who went a job have one, and then the :itizcns of Anderson County. In this way wo shall keep a large part of he mouey at home, and give work to i largo number of honest people who ire anxious to do anything that Is ?onorable to pay rents and grocery bills, etc., until spring. This Is merely an outline of the jlan. Of course there would bo many letalis to work out, but. the main hing 1b that the city would get pav ng. and her citizens get work, both if which are sadly needed now. Yours very truly, E. R. HORTON. For the Grain Elevator. 3DIT0R THE INTELLIGENCER: At a call meeting of the business nen of Anderson County on November 14 by Sir. J. S. Ftowler I was appoint ed or. a committee to confer with >eople as to the importance of bulld og a grata elevator in tho city of Anderson. Will state that I have been lomowhat "under the weather" (sick), iver ?ince, but it, has not been off of ny mind Binco It was first mention sd, in fact, I have favored such a >roposition for several years and have >penly advocated , it as some of my nost Intimate colaborors will testify. Vs I see it now it has become a ne cessity. For we must change our one irop system of farming and in order 0 encourage our people to diversi Icatlon wo must establish a cash mar ket for our produce. This the eleva ,or will do if properly handled in a good tt'dinesa way. There must be rjslnesa methods, behind everything to make it succeed. While the elevator^wlthin itself is nothing more than & warehouse for rraln it accomplishes a different rela lon to garln. As..we have been ac customed to use our warehouse . for sotton In oar immediate'neighborhood or the fact that a market has already icon established for cotton anyhere t can be found for the cash delivered it any railroad station of'the coun try, which could be wonderfully Im proved upon, however, if wo Would idopt the habit of selling through a regular -warehouse system. But not bo with grain. We will Irst have to create a cash market for it by putting In good marketable oon lltlon. It will not stand exposure to ho weather liko cotton, but must be cept dry,, graded and properly sacked ind guaranteed by some one because 1 regular-standard basis of credit. So is to be used liko cotton when deslr j?. It will enable you to use your rraln as collateral If the market Is oo low at tho timo of harvest I ?eard two of our bankers says In the nesting referred to that they would is soon lend money on grain stored r. an elevator as on cotton In ware louses. The thing wo want to do Is o. get the business men Interested in' .his meeting for It takes money to mild and e(flip tho elevator. The jxpeaso of- running It need not be jxpenelve, of course, it will have to be Nicked by capital enough to carry on ta business of exchange. Wheat, corn, oats, peas and hue lreda of other things will be offered ?ero In exchange for the cash which a Its primary purpose so as to en tourage our farmers to plant these irtlclcs of e::chaogo Instead of the >no staple' product (cotton). Even though handicapped as they are with lut a regular market the men who tare been planting theso crops are is latter financial condition to stand this kbake up Uten those who have not lone so. As all will testify I find i The People to handle our other products to a pro- ] nr. Wo have tho greatest grain country iu the world. While some of our western States have it on us as to wheat, none can cope with us as to oats. We are equal to any on corn. So let us come together Monday, the 7tfa, and perfect the plans and build the elevator for the crop of oats and wheat that is now growinn, and not lose the profits in it, thereby dis* couraging the farmer right at the be ginning, and In a few years tho coun try will see and call you blessed. Respectfully yourn. , T. T. WAKE FIELD. Anderson, Dec. 3, 1914. A PERSONAL STATEMENT Last Monday the South Carolina Conference, by. a vote of 76 to 05, lo cated me on the alleged ground of "unacceptabillty." One year before the same faction sought to drivo me out of the editorship of the Advocate by charging me with falsehood and other offcnscH. Their efforts failed, as has failed their every attempt to fasten a dishonorable act upon me. My unacceptabillty was said to con sist largely in the fact that I had ac cused several -of my brethren of the ministry of falsehood. Every single one of those accusations can be sus tained, and no one of them can be re futed. I am not the only Methodist minister who has felt compelled to brand as false, statements of some of these very men. Truth and justice and protection of my own reputation have compelled me sometimes to? that course. If my acceptability as a min ister dependB upon my ability to des pise the truth and to allow some of my brother ministers to disregard it in their dealings with me and my re putation, then I prefer to be unac ceptable. I did not know there was such a benefit of clergy. I do not claim perfection for my self?far from it. My mistakes have been many, and I am painfully con scious of them. Nevertheless, It has been my supremo purpose all these years to walk in mine Integrity before God and men. Had I asked the Con ference for forgiveness and besought it for mercy I won', today be in tiro pastorate. But my tongue would have cleaved to the roof of my mouth arid my head have bowed in shame had I so abused myself. I do not owe the Conference nor any man In it an apo logy; my conduct toward them has been such that I do not have to sees: their forgiveness or become a suppli ant for their mercy What I have said and done in the course of my minis try has been said and done in the fe*r of God ond in the fulness of day. I have struck no man In the back; nor borne false, witness against any man; and envied the position of none. My conscience is clear. I would have been a craven and a hypocrite..... to havo crawled In tho dust before a. body of men whom I had net wronged, rvK?3e moral and religions standards I had not lowered. , I entered the Conference because my sense of duty to God would not al low me to resist the call: to preach. For twenty years I have striven to do my duty as a minister of God, elev en of these years as a pastor, and the remainder as editor of the Advocate. After 1 had been cleared of the cruel and outrageous charges, made against me without warrant'of law or-fact I was. urged by- some to withdraw from the. Conference. But my duty to God would not permit me thus voluntar ily to abandon the high calling to which His voice had impelled me. By a small majority (hardly one third of tho Conference) my brethren have re fused to give me a field In^ which to labor. The responsibility must be theirs. T thank God that I lay down the work with as clear a conscience as when I took it up. I came in a self respecting and respected. Christian, and I go out tho same way. My faith is In God, who has always sustained me, and who will keep me. again at that great day when I shall see Him face to face.?S. A.
