PLEASE DO NOT DO IT Please do rrot do it. If you are con templating anything but a nane, sober i'hristmas, please do not do, for it will not do you nor anyone else any good. Renteniber il is the birthday of .i Savior you are celebrating, and if you believe in Ulm. you cannot make of yourself a pitiable noneutty even lor a day and retain the good opinion He has of you. Then, for the sake of your own household, and the example tu your children, you cannot afford to do It. Also, what good will Jt do you? Tbo money you spend to get the wherewithal would do much more good if given to tho needy in your own community, and they are there. A man who Imbibes rather freely at times, and who was guilty of thin only recently said that It was done on the last occasion because ho was worried on account of tbo illness of a brother in another state. Wo asked him what good he thought drinking Intoxicating liquor in South Carolina would do hiB brother in another State who was lying ill of a fever. He replied that he knew we would not understand, hut that It was ycbology. Wo told him we did not understand, sure enough, and if he would bo so kind, to please lend us his book on psychol ogy so we could learn 'this new sort. We hope there are not many copies of his text book on this subject in ex istence, and that the number of stu dents taking the course is very limit ed. But. anyway, please do not take too much to celebrato the birth of the Prince of Peace. It will not be Christ like. - , WHY NOT A BOND ISSUEt Wo doBiro to ask tho people of tho county generally to express their opinions on the matter of a bond Issue for good roads in Anderson county. The Intelligencer bcUeves that there has never beon a moro favorable timo for this proposition to bo put through, and never a time whou the bond issue stood a better chance of carrying, nor of getting valuo received for the money expended. There will be an abundance of labor, and it can be had at reasonable figures. There would be much good done by having bo much money turned loose in the county at this time. The Intelligencer would be pleased to publish articles from over tho county on this subject, and would be pleased to assist in making sentiment for the bond Issue at this time. It is worthy of thought at this particular time, and if the condition of the roads is an indication of the needs along this Une. there can be no doubt that it Is badly needed. MORE BLESSED TO GIVE The liberal and quick response made by tho people of Anderson yea terduy when It wtu learned that there In some real suffering in and near the city, was one of tho best Christmas prepents that could be made to The Intelligencer. Wo are glad to know that this newspaper Is published in a city that will so quickly and effect ively respond to an appeal for those who really and truly need help, whether they ilvo across the seas or within hailing distance. The greatest of all virtues, we are told, Is charity, and no people who. have charity can be far wrong on many questions. The list of contributions as publish ed In today's paper does not near cover the total interest, that was shown In these- worthy cases. For rovers! hours yesterday morning one person was kept busy in the front of fice talking to callers Inquiring about these families, and one busy answer ing the telephone. Many persons went to see for themselves, and truly these unfortunate people feel that the Good Samaritan was near when they offer ed up their supplications last night to Him who notes the fall of every sparrow, or who numbers tho hairs of the head. We trust ihat icnishi good .old Saint Nicholas will not skip a single one of these homes, but'that some little toy, eo dear to every childish heart, may be theirs as they awake on Christmas morning and run- to peep at the little stocking by tho chlmney-slde. After all, true Joy comes In giving more than in receiving, and ,we are sure that th"8c persons who mlntstered yesterday and the day before to these worthy families felt that they had also received a gift, and one which win abide. ALL VOTED FOB AMENDMENT We desire to congratulate the mem bers of Ute national House of Repre sentatives from South Carolina, every one of whom voted in favor of submit ting the amendment to tho Constitu tion on the question of prohibition to the people tor their vote. And every one of them was on hand to vote, and did not dodge the Issue. We trust the members ot the legislature .to the. ap proaching bobslon of the General, Aar tWwy for South Carolina will vote as these Congressmen did, and that the matter can bo submitted to the pee?to ?<un year as to whether or not goutfc Carolina will be '.totally dry, ;. j & ? ' ADVICE AND CONSENT The Constitution v>f the United Slut es provides that certain appoint ments to office under the federal gov ernment shull ho made by the Presi dent, "by and with the advice and con sent of the Senate." The manner of proceeding under this provision has been that the President nominates the man of bis choico for the office, and the Senate consldors the matter, and ' confirms" the nomination if it sees fit to approve the President's choice. There have been struggles over such matters, sometimes of extreme bit terness, and some observers go even so far as to say that the election of Qrover Cleveland to the Presidency In 1884 may be traced directly to the patronage squabble between Qarfleld and Conkllng, which created a rup ture of long standing in a portion of the Republican party. The Senate may, an i not infre quent), 't has seen fit U , decline con firmation of the President's nomina tions. In that case, it may either take no posltivo action, or it may t^muily reject the nomination. If it fails to act, usually the nominee serves until the adjournment of the session, and then it becomes necessary for the President to make a "recess appoint ment." He may, if ho sees fit, renom inate the same man. When tho Senate rejects a nomination, is Is a question as to whether the nominee may con tinue to serve until adjournment, or whethor he may be renominated dur ing tho recess. There are certain things to be tak en into conbideratlon, however, in the "struggle" that anti-administration newspapers say Is now on between ( President Wilson and tho Senate. In I tue first place, no direct statement > ha? been made by the President, and j statements which purport to express his views are usually to be taken with salt. It Is not certain, therefore, that there is really a contest on. In tho second place, It should be noted that Senators Reed, O'Gorman, and Martine are the Senators who are concerned in the matter, and these three ?Reed, O'Gorman, and Martine ?have consistently opposed the President whenever it has been pos sible for them to do so, Democratic though they pre. It Is to be further considered that the senatorial holdup Is accomplish ed by these Individual Senators. The Constitution docs not say one word about "senatorial courtesy,** but that is the thing tbat is invoked in such flghta as he one under discus ion. The rate of senatorial courtesy is that the Senate will not confirm an appolntco who Is ''personally objectionable" to tho Senators In whose State the ap pointeo Is to servo. By "personally objecting" \ on purely political grounds to certain nominations made by the President, tho three Senators named have invoked "senatorial cour tesy," and have induced the Senate as a body to reject the nominations. Thus is accomplished what the Con stitution never contemplated? the holding up of nominations for lack of "advice and consent," not of tho Sen ate, but of an individual Senator. NOT A BAD SIGN The decision -of the directors of an Anderson banking institution to de clare Its usual semi-annual dividend Is an indication that this community is not ao badly hit, perhaps after all. A dividend of 8 per cent, and another of 4 per cent, every six months la not bad tor any business whether or not it be a bank. We trust tbat every in stitution which can do so will pay a dividend in the near future and place aa much money In circulation as pos sible. The talk of hard times one hears so much of will Boon disappear, and will more quickly leave us If an busi ness concerns will do . as this bank has done?refuse to be affected. PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT "Prohibition doea. not probt bit" . is an argument always used by those who oppose prohibitory laws. The failure of the Hoster-Columbus breweries of Columbus, Ohio, yester day, because of the continued voting dry of territory in which they did business, will be a rather severe brow to this favorite argument Of course prohibition prohibits, else it would not bo'prohibition.

A MUaiE PROBLEM The Atlanta Constitution says: Tales pop up from all over the south of thoroughbred mules being shipped In great cargoes to participate in the European war. Now here's a problem. All mules are allku in disposition, In obstinacy, in tractile power, and iu "temperament" that approaches that of a prima donna. Now, then, it Is all a Georgia darkey can do l-o get u mule to yaulc a plow through the furrow, and the OeorRia darkey knows more about muleB than a .Mahomet knew about Mecca. But?whitt Is going to happen when a Frenchman attempts to manage a Georgia mule? Will that palavering courtesy for which the French are proverbial serve to break the back bone of the mule's obduracy and mak? him haul forward artillery at the re cord-breaking pace? We harbor doubt. And in Germany? That Is, indeed, a problem. Can the Georgia or Missouri mulo understand enough German to be of uBe to the kaiser's men? We confess bewilderment. Russia! Ah, there, if you will permit us, lies tho crux of the mule in the European war, if the phraso is allow able. Everybody knows that a heal thy, progressive Russian sentence of ordinary proportions and blood-pres sure can tip up the ordinary American or Englishman. What effect will it have on the mule? The speculation is appaling. Will it break his proud spirit or will it Bend him kicking and snortng into battle? Verily, this mule problem holds in finite possibilities The brute with the gong ears and the sledge-hammer hoofs will need a special historian. UNKEUTRAIi NEUTRALITY Certain membcis of Gongross, principally Mr. Bartholdt, of Missouri, a Republican, and Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, a disgruntled Democrat, who opposes everything Unit Presi dent Wilson stands for, seem to think that is Is possible, and proper, for the American Congress to undcrtako to amend tho ruloB of international law. Doing a native of Germany, Mr. Bar tholdt's warm sympathy with ?.he cause of the Teutons is easily under stood, but it is apparent that Mr. Hitchcock merely wants to continue to reap the harvest of limelight that comes of efforts to oppose and em barrass, the administration. It is the effort of these statesmen to have.Congress.' prevent the ship ping-of arms and other war material to any of the nations now engaged in strife' by American manufacturers and producers. It is notable that no objection to the export of such mater ials has been expressed except by those who favor Germany in the pres ent struggle. This fact renders parti cularly pertinent Just now a few sen tences from Prof. ! Lawrence's text book on international law. For in stance, he Bays': "Whenever a tra'io In contraband of war reaches large dimension a, the state whose adversary .is supplied by means of it is apt to complain. It re proaches the government of the of fending vendors with neglect of the duties 'of neutrality, and argnos that friendship and impartiality alike* de mand tho stoppage of a traffic which supplies its foes with the sinews of war. But it Invariably receives in re ply a reminder that the practice of nations Imposes no such obligation upon neutrality. The conduct of commercial states when neutral puts out o! court any complaints they may make when belligerents. Prus sia, for instance, whose merchants bad conducted an enormous trade in contraband goods across her eastern frontier during the Crimean war, de nounced in vigorous language tbe con duct of the British authorities in per mitting English arms to Bell arms and ammunition to France in 1870." And further: "Amid all Uie Instances of interna tional recrimination, one fact stands out clear and indubitable. No power ful neutral state has ever interfered to stop a trade in arms and ammuni tion carried on by its subjects; with agents of a belligerent government * It'Is~ impossible, there fore, to avoid the conclusion that tbe only restrain: on such trade known to international law is the liability of contraband to captur?- even under a neutral flag." It is plan, therefore, that for the United States to undertake to pre vent tba traffic in arms .upon the pre test o'/ Germany's friends would not be a neutral proceeding, but would b? a move for tho bjis?^vli? one of the beliigsr?-^, and therefor* against that one's enemies, .and a sieve In di rect violation of tho principles ol in ternational lew. - It. would be an un noutrai act performed under th9 pre tense of neutrality. That Christmas Whiskey Crate. Did you seo that fellow coming away from the express office with, a crate of whiskey in his arms? S'-o how be sneaks along, and.tries,to ge^on a back street as soon as he can. He looks Sbeeplsh and moan. Ho knows that he has no business with it, an3 that it will do him a great deal of harm. He can not look cleans manly, men in the face. In all probability, his. Wife and ch?drss are ?uS?rsng sot fooa and proper clothing, and he has a hag gard look doe to the poison that he has been taking into his system and the sprees that he has'been on from time to time. But ho must havo hlo Christmas liquor, and he has it The poor fool. That la Jrnsfe what he is, and if an honest expression could be gotten from him he would acknowl edge that be.was a f"4l for temper ing with liquor, tfot only is there neglect and. want : In his own. home, but he has spent money; to buy the rotten stuff that is honestly due the ! people who nave trusted '.him and whom he could easily have paid. - I . Look again. Do you see that man ly fellow who has just walked out of that store with bundles and pack ages In his arms? He is loaded down. See how bright and cheerful he looks and how elastic are his steps. There is good cheer In him. He looks you squarely in the face. He does not seek a back street or an alley. He has no reason to be ashamed. He Jb loaded down with good things to brighten the hj?artst and the home of his wife and children. Tiere will tr>, gcnulno good cheer in that home. He is proud of his loved ones, and he is too noble hearted to be willing to In dulge in anything that can not be shared by his wife and children. He will not be found loafing around with toughs and bums on Christmas day, but he will enjoy that day with his family. And the toughs who tank up on liquor will not hang around him. Now which one of the two plays the ; man? Which of the two is a citizen to be honored and respected? There Is no need for us to answer those questions. They answer themselves. To which class do you belong? The red nosed, swollen eyed, hard faced crowd or to the manly, clear headed, noble looking fellows who stand for something worth while??Greenwood j Journal.
