AS OLD FRIEND
Mr. A. V. Snell. from down by the
lorleston battery, and other points
of interest, there is an especially warm
welcome waiting 7ou here today. It
fcji due in large part to your efforts, to
year, manly, buslncRS-Uko, sensible
* talk Just one year ago. that Anderson
decided to have, a Chamber of Com
tnerce. 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. Mr. Snell. arc very
gratifying to your man., friends in
, Aadersoo. .
A BOI T ANIHIISON
It is not fair tu talk shop to visitors

In addition to this Audesron las;

There is a irreal suburban develop

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.

SMITH HAS NO CHANGE
SAYS WM. P. BEARD
"Sinbad" Writes to The Intelligen

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
