KIPLING. * OPPOSITION TO BE EXPECTED. There 1b no question receiving the attention Just now that the good roads matter Is claiming. People are thinking and working .on this mat ter In all sections of the county, and reports from somo of the sections are very hopeful, while from others there seem'* to bo a strong opposition. We are told, however, that the sentiment is undergoing a change and tjmt peo ple are beginning to sop thnt'thc bond Issue is not so bad a thing attor all. Those who have reasoned the matter out sen that tho burden of paying for the roads will bo scattered over so long a period that there will be no real hardship. As wo figured the burden of taxation will be borne prin cipally by the corporations and the cities and towns in the county, only about 30 per cent being paid by the farmers, or owners of property in tho rural districts. As a business matter, It appears that tho people of the rural districts where tho roads will . be , built; would jump at an opportunity of getting back one dollar for every thirty centB paid, and getting tho thirty cents too, as wo have'shown might easily bo the daj0 In this bond Issue for ..permanent roads in Ander son County, whore thoy would do the Work. i| ; Of cotirse there will be opposition on tho hart of some. There are always chronlq_ pickers who will bo "agin" anything And everything. Thon, there ore ethers who honestly do not think t'aiU it .'will be a good thing for the county to undertake to build perma nent roads at this time. Others are . going to'oppose it tor political rea* D?nt;, and yet others because thoy do :!rmt like a man or some member of the commission. It would be almost ipossible for one to propose each a r?o moasure sb this and not find voposiflon. The Intelligencer wishes t^.have's^^ull 'and. tree dlscusr'.on of this matter and to that end asks that the people ; of tho county interested : u?e th? c?luhlns to air their views. If |Tj4e InWHs??cc? differs from any writer,-fr? Shall do P. kindly and from an argumentative standpoint purely, provide^ ihe subject be approached in th? enae spirit Only by liberal flls catalonrjcan wo arrive at tho truth* ?i. AS - I'KOI'LE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTK. It 1? said that then- is opposition to the proponed bond Issue because the people were not allowed to v?it? for the members of 111 - road commis sion. On the other build, it' (he dele gation had put lin' matter up lor a vote wiihout having named the nun who would have charge of th<> expen diture of the funds, there would have been an even greater opposition. Sup pnae the matter of selecting commis sinners to have in charge this matter of building roads had l ' en left to the people, could they have made a bet ter selection of men to have it in charge What fault Is there to he found with the commission? Are they not all good men. and do they not represent every section of the coun ty? Would anv citizen feel that their Interests would not be properly safe guarded by these commissioners, if the matter were one of personal na ture? Suppose there should turn out to be one or two rascals, let us sae, for the sakp of argument only, what thij effect would be. There are nine members, ami it will take live of them to carry u proposition at a meeting of the commission. Does anyone think that It Is likely that there are five of these men who can be Influenced Improperly in a business matter? Honestly we arc of the opinion that if a voter thinks this of this commis sion, he could hardly reconcile him self to any other commission, how over selected. Wo must realise this fact: In matters of public concern it Is 'nipossible for anyone to have everything JuBt us he would have It, but there must be a give and take policy pursued. The same thing is true in the paving commission for An derson. There arc persons who dc not llko every member of the com mission, hut they know that the com mission as a whole is sound und have burled their personal likes to the pub lic good. So it must lie if ever An derson County is to take rank with other progressive communities. This rond bill is not just what we would have it be, perhaps, but, if so, realiz ing that it Is the best that can bo ob tained wo havo decided to let our per sonal likes and dislikes go to the winds and accept the best thing we can get so long as it 1b not unsound In principle, nor dishonest in Its pro visions. This 1b what others must do to progress. TOTAL I'OST FOU SCHOOL DISTRICTS. There are 246 voters In Martin School District, und the assessed val uation of property, real and personal, in this school district is $249.006. Thnt Is an average for each person paying taxos is $1,022. which means that if each person in this school district owned the same amount of property he would pny taxes on $1.012. Paying at three mills, each person would, therefore, pay $.1.03. Of courne there are many persons \n this school dis trict who puy only on a few dollars of household goods, having no real estate. Others pay on a hundred dollars, others on two, throe or four hundred dollars. Of course the tuxes of those will be correspondingly light er. If A pays taxes on $100 worth of property "ho will pay -only 30 cents ad ditional tax, and so on. Now, there uro 46 of these taxpay ers who pay taxen on over $90,000. This leaves 200 taxpayers who puy on M&9.006, or $795 average. These will pay an avcrago of $2,28 each year. Wopld this be burdensome to any farmer? Would It not be worth this inr.nint over and over again to any farmer or business man to havQ one Rood highway all the year around leading through the district, and by the-school house? Each year the en tire district will pay $747. and this 1b rtcrhaps the wealthiest district In Die county outside of tho largest towns. Three and Twenty School ; District will pay $197.41 each year; Ncals rtreek, $306.28. So it would appear Amt tiieso sections would at least not .ie hard hit.

WORKING ITS WAY TOWARD THE END (CONTINUED FROM VAQK ONE.) of I In* gullery doors others clamored] fur admittance The end of the '"'ig government ship purchase hill liuht in Ihe senate ? aine lat4> in the afternoon (luring consid eration of Ihe war claims bill. Tlie announcement uf Klirrender came from Senator Fletcher, who ha i led the struggle for Mie measure from the beginning.

Molli houses made good progress on th<' appropriai ion program throughout the day until available conference reports ami supply measures had been exhausted. I.ate in the day the post oillcc, agricultural. Indian and general deficiency bills still were In confer ence and llie final report of the con forces on the; army bill with relation to the Taylor system had not yet been made, it was unofficially stat ed, however, that the senate would reced,. from Its amendment and yield to the house provision elemlnatlng scientific management from govern ment works. The bouse spent several hours dis cussing the rivers and harbors sub -dilute appropriating $:t0.000,000, but finally concurred in the senate pro posal and ?eut the bill to the White House. It also scnl tlie Indian aopro : print ion bill, carrying $11.000,000. 10 conference after considerable debate. Doth houses disposed of conference reports on the naval, diplomatic and consular and legislative supply bills without much trouble. When they settled down to night sessions to await final reports on the remaining supply measures, ten of the big bills had been sent to the White House and the appropriation features of another had been agreed to. Tlie senate passed tlie omnibus civil war claims bill, carrying approx imately $2,000.000 with an amend ment terminating' the liability of claims arising out of the war. Another claims bill pussed altered the army and navy officers longevity service act so that term of service should he computed from the time of ficers entered the military or naval academy. Thp volunteer civil war officers' re tirement puy bill was put through without debate. RESUME ATTACK TURKISH FORTS (CONTINUED FllOM PAtJE ONE.) been very large, as the Russian posi tions were almost impregnable. Iu the Austrian attempt to outflank the Russians in eastern Galicia, two i; u sinn official reports have announc ed that the Austrlans suffered a sev er,, rcverso and that yesterday they lost in prisoners more than 6,000 men. The Russians captured also a num ber of guns and much transport ma terial. On the other extreme wing in North Poland tho Germans either have as sumed the defensive or arc retiring, except at Ossowetz. whero they con tinue to bombard the fortress. Berlin reports unofficially that here the Ger mans have silenced two forts. Their attempt to approach tlie city, however, hai been repulsed. The Germans, while claiming suc cess near Aogustowo. where they cap tured 1.500 prisoners, ad- ?'t . they have withdrawn their udvanco guards ho m h of Myszyniec and that tlie Rus sians have been feeling their way to tho northwest of Przasny?s. Tho fact soomu to be that tho Vms siuns are advancing slowly along the whole northern.-lino. They havo re inforced their armlos nt every threat ened point and nro considered to be in as good n position as the Germans, who have left their railways behind them. So far as the west Is concerned, the French offensive in the Champagne ret, n continues to be tho outstanding fcuture of tlie campaign. The French troops have reached tho highest points on tho ground north of Porthes and Peausejour and must he near positions from which thoy can shell tho branch railway that ^runs to the rear of tlie German line and maintains communication hetwoen the . German forces before,Rheims and Verdun. Thero has b?en fighting ot other points, but none to comparo in Im portance with that In Champagne With tho allied fleet agnin bombard ing the Dardanelles nnd the Russians pushing their offensive in the Cau casus, the near east again Is coming into the limelight. Thr. Russians have scored a distinct success by tho cap ture of the Turkish port of Khopa, on tho Black Sea. from which the Tur kish army is the Caucasus drew part of its supplies. I Unofficial roports say that besides the ships which'nre bombarding'the Interior Dardanelles forts, sonic of the fleets aro throwing shells overland Into the Gulf of Saros, so that Jthe Turkish garrisons will be subjected to flro from two sides. The Turks are concentrating strong forc?s for' the defense of Constantinople and tho Bal kan States are watching tlie opera tions w|th- Intense interest. The "Suc cess or failure of the Allies' attempt to open the.straits means much to the Balkan nations. . Tho king of Greece has called a grand council Tor a full discussion ot the situation. The chamber later will hear tho report of the council. Great Britain has not replied to the American not? regarding the naval war zone and food shipments. ABBEVILLE ?ET8- EVERYTHING.

CAST// crOTHfe^ The Store with a Conscience the i'ity of rr. It were unnecessary to muko de-| tailed reply to the article of the Sep tus correspondent in tills l86ue. He has aimed wide of' the mark and seems to feel that his nrticle has completely annihilated The Intelligencer. We do hot see in this, any sound argument benring on tho proposed Issue. The fact remains. in\spitc of any thing which Mr. Casey may say. the roads of Anderson are and have been almost impassable. As a business proposition thoy ehould.be improved. The only way to do this is by sup plying: money with which to pay for doing this necessary work. This must be done in sufficient quantity to make the amount expended "worth while. The only feasible way to do It is to pass a bond issue, and build the roods, payihg for them while ' enjoying the benefits of the good roads bullt- 0.* course if tho money is to be frittered away and wasted, It Is .foolishness to vote it. The personnel of the com mission named by the' -delegation is proof that the money from the bond issue will be wisely expended, and! that the people or the county will get j every mile of 'good roads possible toj build with this money. To do this will insure prosperity . and conven ience to the very people which, as Mr. Casey asserts, are against the bond issue. Mr. Casey has shown his readiness] and eagerness to tear down what tho > delegation did for the'-good of the . county, perhaps he' has something to offer which will. an swerve ' purpose better than this proposed bond Issue? It he has, let him come forward and put hist plan be'u. c ?ae people. It he has nothing better to offer, it appears lb b0 poor policy,to tear down Icono clasts are more numerous than con-; Btructivestatesmen. -Another fact stares us in the face. ; the county is about a century or per haps more old. Will Mr. Casey In form us and the people'of the coun ty how many miles of permanent and good roads the county has in it utter this moro than a century of existence? If there are none, then the plan fol lowed certainly Is a failure and |i is time to try some other. Suppose the people kill thin proposed bond issue, how long. will it be before another measure having for its purpose the improvement of the roads can be passed? Will it not put off the build ing of permanent roads for a decade or ? generation? Who^ would have the nervo to propose another plan for: building permanent roadsf The truth of the matter, is that there is nothing .to be gained .by a short sighted policy which looks-with suspicion on every enterprise . that does not originate under one's own hat band. In this complex and com posite world w? must trust each other, as ' there Ib too much work for any one map to dc. There must be mutual confidence.:f ; i. nd suppose (hot; ther<jT should happen to be one man on., tha road 'commission who ^ooa not a^es/i? ur?

These questions are at? ci In all kindness, lor we really believe that those .who hold the views of our correspondent need to be informed as tc- what is b?lng"ac coropllsbed and how much it is worth. .... to a county to have a system of good roads. This The Intelligencer is at tempting humbly to do, and we call upon our Beptus correspondent to break his hammer aud let us all get together and boost u bit. It will be an easy matter of course to vote it down, but where Mil tho construc tive program of a bigger and a bet tor Andersou come in? Who will build Up the county If we do not do it? Whose county Is il, anyway? Why should not the people of the city and of the country get together and keep Anderson County on the top now and always? PARAMOUNT TI1KATKK TODAY Edward. Abeles in "The Million" ?Bevlew. Henry W. Savage's famous raelo dramailcrfarclal production, "Tho Million,"B has won the distinction of possessing more laughter and whole some, fun than any comedy of recent years. Tho continuous mirth proceeds equally .from the action, caricatures and situations of one of the most novel ' and Ingenious plots ever pre sented on the stage or screen. If the old philosophera are right, and "laughter 'Is"wealth," then "The Mil lion", is.,well mamed. ;.' .The subject \ also presents one ( of the most' remarkable exam pie a of character actl?g -supplied In many years, in the impersonation of "Leo -Baron," tho crook, by Edward Abeles. In the' course of the'story he is called upon to portray no less than'six en tirely distinct characters. With the assumption of each impersonation, 'Kdward Abeles not only presents a wholly varied physical appearance, but lends to each of the six roles s totally distinct personality?first as the crook with Ute police baying at bis heels:- then' as Ike Dams kin ski, the second-hand clothing dealer of the Bowery, and following these two char. fiCterisations^ In. rapide succession- as Ithti duplicate 6f the singer. Donatelll, in which he convinces Donatelll that he Is seeing .things; as * reporter, changing-from the bearded DamaBkl Bkl to a dapper newspaper man; as the waiter at the madhouse, and finally as the blond cagaret dancer. It can bo readily seen thut the . Per formance of so difficult und exacting a role must offer an actor an oppor tunity to exercise every phase or dra matic art. The absorbing swiftness of the various changes from charac ter to character makes the role charmingly unluun. Of Edward Aboies it need he said only that be fulfills cVary requirement of the trying rplc, and that his series of performances place him in the foremost rank of ' ' American character-actors. "The Million" Is all fun of the mcr- , rlest sort. - If Hair is Turning Gray, Use Sage Tea 1 i ' Here's Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify \ | Faded Hair . || That beautiful, even shade of dark, ; $ glossy hair can only be had by brew- ;;rw;, ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Su] - ' phur.
