They might not he able to get out. Bow About a first-class office build ing for Anderson T We hardly know of any. on*? thing the city needs sc badly. It ls claimed that tho railroads are losing money by carrying the parcel poet, In spite ot the fact that they can always assess tb ok* atockhold ere. The express companies are going to lower their ratea Feb. 1, and some people have faith to believe they were yost About to do it anyway wbenth c government started the parcel post The railroads are holding "safety first" meetings among their employes, but lt ls not true that an engineer w?l b* disciplined if he brins* hi* train in on time. Now ls the time for congress li gel yobs for their constituent*, as there ls-nothing pending but appropriation billa each apendlng only a hundred or two millions. Additional proof ot thc fact, thal there ld nothing in a made has beer discovered in.Alabama.

It requires a whole lo <>t humanity to be a successful schoo trustee. With which wo present thc following Ideas from Mr. W. H. Hand State supervisor of schools, who bo i ? cf ore h ITU thf, pr??l?u?cy ut An??r on Collogo: "But there are several varieties o' trustees. Some aro capable, earned and active; some hore tho capcclty, ?ut either have no interest in tholr duties or aro (do erigrossed In their own business; nome have Behool en thusiasm but lack capacity end in sight; and a few others can be best described as marvelous misfits, j To sum np, wo, have tba fits, the un fits and the misfits. Put when il la remembered'that we have In the State 1,934 public school dlBtrictt and over 5,800 district trustees, it IP not hard to understand that tho va rieties of''the genus school trustee are numerous and that-some are be low par. Need we be surprised at tho irrational and freakish perform ancea of som o school boards."? GEN. W. E. JAMES. After the publication of lite annual message of the governor to the gen oral assembly, wo, loamed that in re ferring to tho doceasd members of the general assembly the name of Gen. W. E. James of Darlington, wa? not mentioned. This appeared rath er an unwo."thy thing for the gover nor of a State. But upon inquiry we learn thr t the governor Bent n special message, which lt bas .not been our pleasure to see; commemo rating the Hfe of this true and sub stantlal South Carolinian. General James was a gallant Con federate soldier, was a grand chan cellor of the Knights of Pythias am' a deputy grand master of the Mas ons; was a splendid farmer and fi sincere Christian gentleman. Weare pleased that tho governor took notice of his death In a special message. DEMOCRACY ITELPS. lt was just about a year ago that we lii'ard .? .

WK??S0 ;E FIRE HAZARD ,Qi> Hld li '. ? Official Staliatt?a 'Sr?ow that Metal Shingles Prevent Many ' ' "F?re? In discussing tho matter of fires and fro losses, J. T, Burris of the firm of T. J. Buprrls & Son, remarked that tho flgure3 and statistics furnish ed each year by the fire departments of the various cities of tho State would show that a large number of thc fires are due to wooden shingles Instead of molal shingles on the roof and that In many, instances residences and business buildings were destroy ed by .fire when they could easily have Leen saved or would have been left uphurt had they been covered with tin or metal shingles. Of interest in this.connection ls the report which has Just been made to the Cciumjbia City council V W. J. May, chief of the. Coluiubl* 'ire de partment. In thia report Chief May says that during the h*st year 60 bf tho 1&0 fires which visited Columbia were caused by sparks on wooden shingled roofs, which shows the need, according to the Columbia fire chief, of eliminating the wooden , shingled roof. If this state of affairs exists in Co lumbia it Is likewise true of every other town In the State and equally so of Anderson. The people of this I more lmmedicco section are realizing I every day that wooden shingles are a great fire hazard and aro naing ; more and more metal shingles In the covering of their homes. i.,.-?
