The men who are straining every point to make a big city of An derson -realise that the Chamber of Cfcmm?;rce has been of "value. We are satisfied with what has been done, and the ntart has Jitst been made. The re ports of the success that has come to ypu is Charleston.

FOR' THE OKSKRViy , There I? one thing we ?Is' the An derson dolegutlon in tin. general us sembly would., do and that is to try t< straighten out all of the kinks, in tin pension law. Recently there came intt this office a veteran whose record h writ fair upon* the pages of the hiutorj of the flower of Anderson's soldiery He stated that because be bad not beei disabled be could not drnw a pension He said that there are men of weait' in tills state who, bcause of disability are drawing pensions, while he, a pool md deserving Holdler, has nothing, am can get nothlisK from the mother Statt which he served for four years in i mniincr Which riiould comtnrud th< respect and love and care of the people] of the State. We confess to some lac. of enlightenment upon the details ol this matter, but If'It is true that tin poor and deserving are discriminate! against, we say let us have a new law that will give" fair play.

BEARD "Sinbad" Writes to The Intelligen cer In Reply to a Recent Inter view From Columbia j < ? : Editor The Intelligencer: ! ; Ls/jt Friday's issue of your paper! I contained an urticle dated from Co-jl luinblu dealing with 11 ? ? * senatorial : r;>t e and showing n bud tu?i' for Gov.i ? Blease uccordlug to the Information 1 vouchsafed by the correspondent. ii I understand that the intelligencer !h neutral in politics and holding Its X columns open t<> both sides to a rea- \ ; tonablu extent lit accordance with j : Hint understanding of your neutral 1 position, I presume you will have no. i .vord from the Uleuse side in rebuttal I A almvc mentioned article as 1 knowj i the correspondent was only guessing JI and guessed very wide of the markji at that. 1 have beeu over every county in the Stute several times this year and nave just completed a t< ur of tin- en-ji Un- .state in which I have been in nearly every town and hamlet?have|J ruked the State and with a line tooth ?omba and personally Been und talked with thousands of men of both faction 1 believe that l urn us well posted on the political .situation as any man in South Carolina and far better than most writers and politicians. It is my opinion as u result <<: careful Invest igation that Governor Blea'se lias not 'lost ?round" lmi on the contrary i^as largely gained ground over his last vote. Here are the things that 1 base this lSOertton upon. Senator Smith is looked upon by many as u "blow hard" and a Takt;" on the cotton' question. Many, people openly say Jint he "was fortunate in having lohn ''..try EVans, t!:? unpopular, for in opponent, and the cotton speeches if John !.. MCLaurin to draw upon 'or his campaign thnndcr and there-, fore was a political necident," 1 hear jlephant on the hands of t'.te anti men. Like Jra 11. Jones, he Is a white d?pliant on the hands of the Atiti LUcase faction?he Is not their selec tion) but "Hobacn'B choice." It 1st in open secret that they will pVt outj x Stronger man if they can got one td nu. Many of them are trying to get Senator McLaurln to come out now. vnowlpg that he Is the only man In .he State who can equal Blea?e ?8 campaigner. Some are encouraging Senator Vlan Johnstono of N'cwherry to cn-? er the race, still others want W. F. Stevenson, of Chernw, or "Seaboard ??!!" to enter. They arc cerium, tot united on Senator Smith. Many .vho opposed Governor Bleasc lost et-.r say that as "between Blease and imith, 1 will vote for Blouse." Muny | >thers Bay "i want a third mnn toi :onie out. for 1 won't vote for either Mease or Smith." There bus been but a 'slight defec ion from Blease as per the line up nui ejection us far a:1. I can discover, .vhich is more than made up by the mtural r r-vits thnt victory always .r.sgs. In addition to the above . reasons there are utnong others the following is some of the most potent ones: Senator Tillman has n "leaky bar rel" up in Washington and the "leak ige" gradually Hows down this way? >y (he way of Spartunhurg. It is re ported and discussed nil over the State that Tillman and Smith have Agreed to not recommend any one for united States marshal or district at torney, till niter the next primary election. By that moans it is hoped to keep Jus. N. Drake, of Marlboro, :x-Stierln* Buford of Newbcrrv. J. D. Gllrcath of -Greenville and G. J. Lyon of Abbeville, the friends of whom clnim to have specific premi ses of .support from Senator Smith, each thinking he will get the 'edcral plum, Thnt la what "leak-! ?d" freni tlto old "barrel." t an you licit thut for polittclal I qieldc? But here Is the wuy It will J vor't: It is known that ?ou?e of these j tppHciints and thoir friends arc al ( ady 'Vorc." .Thoy are disappointed -hd tired of waiting. If these ap pointments are not disposed of with in thirty days, some politicians in tho low country will try to bring out Man Johnstone of Xewberry, or \V. F. Stevenson ofCueraw. "The movement is now on foot In the Eastern part of the State, and while Sher.ifr i.yoii wen t talk, (pjty his in nocent faith, ho clUl think* Smith sdncerel. his friends cl over the up per part of tlio State, and they are many, ure growing very restive and saying thing* that sound liko either a third man, or a full scratch of the senatorial ticket. Such reni*?ka as these are fre quently beard these days. Judge Smith has recognized that we now have two districts, and Smith promis (1 tu re-establish the western one! nid giv? the marshalship to t'har ey Lyon It won't take thirty days <? do it. If Ii?' don't do it at once i vc will bring out p iliird man agafafal ilni.' That's the !in?' of talk being hand-! ed out and the friends of these trust. UK lambs arc talking "some."
