Eloquence is a painting of a thought, and those who, after buy ing pair.'ed it, add something more. make a picture instead cf a portrait.-Pascal. Anderson !*? My Town.-Aggressive ls the' word. * Old Winter ia the comeback kid and-that-snow-Joke. This is a regular United States snow-general and enthusiastic. This l?gislature is no friend of ours. lt refused to repeal th? Income tax law. It is so easy to be a knocker when hope deferred makes one get weary of promises. i II They get the most out of life who put the most Into lt. Therefore, work for your town. Be merciful. Sprinkle corn meal or bread crumbs on the snow and feed the birds. Gov. Blease must hate this state. He threatens to call an extra session of the siceral assembly. ? The man who protects his stock in this kind ot weather will get the best results through the year. r * * _ i If you have goods to sell, don't ' whisper. An advertisement in this paper ls like using a megaphone. In Albert W. Anderson the city of Anderson has a staunch friend. He > believes in the future of this city. We have heard no general demand for a two-cent railway tare. What the people demand is better service. Villa's stubborn behavior may be the excuse which Jingoes have waited for. We are nearer war than ever. We are not blue over the Blue Ridge. If we go after the Southern railway hard enough, we may get re sults. The legislature Investigating com mittee in exonerating Dr. Saunders shows that some legislators have good Judgment. Secretary Whaloy's report of the . year's activities of the chamber of commerce should be read by every man In Anderson. Up to now the winter has been so mild that even grasshoppers had not been killed ont. But this snow is the Utile old germ-?lxor. The trouble about the encomiums tor. Capt Geo. W. Sullivan, these being heaped upon Anderson's sena * compliments are not strong enough. The young ladles of Anderson col lege are gettlag out an illustrated an - nual, the So rori an. It will be filled with pictures of the prettiest girls in America. Prom Ute activity among candidates | for ike local posUnaatership, knocking j other candidates? etc., somebody must j think the Job will have to be filled, soon. ' lt the government takes ever the telegraph and telephone lines Man ager Howard of the loco! Western Union omeo would be a poaUnaster anyway. NERYH'K COM KS HKS!. lias anybody undertaken to prove Hutt conditions in Soul li Carolina warrant the passing of a two cent rate bill? Wc do not believe ii can be done. Merely because it is within the power of Die legislature to pass this bili is no reason why it should be done. Tit*? people will accept it and be glad lo get lt. perhaps, but WC have heard of no clamoring for it. In fact, we believe wb'at the people wish is service. Better equipment, better connections] better service In every way. And service cannot be given if the revenues ?ir" reduced be low the point where there is any probt in tlie hauling of passengers. No one wisiies to see the railrouds made to lose money, and if they are called upon we believe that they can make a showing that the reduced rate would t aille trains to be operated at au actual loss. This whole agitation grew out of the discussion between the roads und the traveling salesmen several years ago, and we .suspect that the railroads have brought this thing upon them selves because they did not act in en tire frankness wit li the traveling men, who uaked for certain conces sions in tlie way of having mileage pulled on trains, etc. If it eau be proved that the two cent rate will not cripple the service of the railroad cc-hipantes, we say pasa the bill. But let us consider that railroads pay about half of the taxes of the state, and treat them not as criminals, but as citizens, and If the passage of a law would cripple the roads, and lower the standard of service, lt would be better to wltli stay the power of tlie lawmaking body. Thc very-*seor do not travel much anyway, and such a law would not help anybody who really needs it. ALL HOW NOT FLED. s a v While the address of Mr. Fairfax Harrison v. as a gem in its way. and contained much of locul Interest, the principal significance of bis visit waa the fact that this is the first place in South Carolina that he has visited since he became the president of the Southern railway. Mr. Harrison bas a number of friends In Anderson, and they talked with him about railroad conditions. Ha was apprised of the situation here. As he said In his address, the great trunk line of railway must be consid ered as a whole and its highest inter ests administered by the executive, but lt is nlBO true that the great Sea board Air' Line railway is constantly Improving the property that it has, and yet is reaching out through the castal section of South Carolina and in a few months will be running Into the city of Charleston. Why should not other roads do extension work? It will pay, because lt will open, new territory. As Col. Jayne* of Walhalla said, lt would *ivfj*hp nwipi? .?? thc -, m jr world a great summer playground to extend the Blue Ridge on to Knox ville, opening wonderful reaches of mountain country. To those of his friends lu Anderson to. whom Mr. H ari son talked he de clared that the situation is not hope less, but that If the .people of this sec tion wish to get the road built they must put lt up td the Southern rail way tn such a mapnor ns to make its force and effect apparent. The South ern has too many, other big things on foot to be hunting "^around for work to do, but this undertaking might be put through If the platter is handled right and the pressure ls made suffi cient. TUKUL S THE DIFFERENCE. We agree with oiir friend. Ed De Camp, that '.bo phunnygraph writer of the Columbia State Is one of the most brilliant writers ito the country, but when one ot those squibs is pointed right at you it doesn't seem so funny. Reminds you of Lee Holleman's story about the old negro who lost $10 in a bank failure. He had heard of such things before, but this was the first bank he had ever had to "bust right in my face." KIRKVILLE WETS A WOOD MAN. We congratulate the people of 1 Yorkvllle In getting as a citizen Mr. J. T. Btgham of Chester, and we con gratulate the owners of tbs York News upon getting kim aa editor and manager. Mr. Dignam founded the Chester Lantern and gave it an Indi viduality possessed by few" papera in this country. He is a man ot the highest character. Is a writer of force and ts well posted on current events. Yorkville will get h good paper under \ bbl direction. m ??i. i ( i ? i. In the immortal .words of the poet, I J. Qordon Coogler, wc exclaim, "The j snow, the snow, the beautiful snow; [tbs Jaybird, the sparrow and the , crow, make footprints In the beautt I fol snow." Lieut. Becker, conv&ed of a part In the murder of Roatrifeal, will de vote his time to locating the reel mur derers, as he aaya.- And he doesn't Intend to confesa, either. Il KHK? AND .NO WU KHK ELSE. Why doc M coo gretta apead millions of dollarrt irrigating deserta in the j weat? Why not repair sume of tiie damage don? the south hy tiie pluu-j dering? of war and build ns good roads with some of that money? Why do people rush to these cheap lauds ot the weat and of Canada, cheap be cause they yield hut on?- crop a year? Here in the south, where the crop is equable, the farmer may produce two crops on lils land, and some have; growq Uiree crops In a year. Dur own farmers should learn the prolit bearlng nature of their investment and engage more largely In diversified agriculture. A ten-acre yield of hay in Virginia yielded in one season 5.2 (ons to the acre, a nd profit of over $52 per acre. Alfalfa produces from four to six tons a year, and the price ls from $20 to $2F? per ton. Thin is the thing for our.furmers. Without reference to his qualifica tions for postmaster, we will say that, after observation of and experience with many offices, Manager J: E. How ard of the Anderson Western I'nion office is about the most capable and accommodating official we have ever met. NOVELIST in: I.I VK Ks ADDRESS. Winston Churchill Talks of the Really of the Christian Experience. Aiken, Feb. 25.-On Sunday morn ing Winston Churchill, the noted lec turer, author and former editor, deliv ered an address on "The Reality of the Christian Experience," at St. Thaddeus' Episcopal church. Mr. Churchill is one of Aiken's Interesting winter tourists and of course the city is glad that he ls here and a irrgo crowd tooti advantage of the appor tunlty to hear him last Sunday morn ing. Mr. Churchill ls the author of "Con iston." "Frfcnard Carvel," "The Cross ing," and other more or le?s interest ing novels. His latest book, "The Inside of tiie Cup," hus been widely re viewed In both the I'nlted States and in England und has received much criticism. Not all of the criticisms have been kindly but this ls probably due to the fact that Mr. Churchill ex pressed through his leading character in this book, his own views of tho present day Christianity. These views are different and are creative of a new topic of discussion. Mr. Churchill's address, or rather sermon, Sunday morning was on "The Reality of the Christian Experience." He said that at present there was a wave of dissatisfaction sweeping ovor the country and that this was a fore runner O?' better things. Thir- wave of discont ent,! or dissatisfaction, will cause peuple to think, cause them to realize where they are and what they are doing. MY. Churchill said that life was a reality and so was the Christian ex perience. Mr. Churchill declared tha, now everything was being dealt with In a scientific way, the child problem, the labor problem, the social evil, etc. This is the better way and the way that these things ought to be dealt with. Science ls the hand maiden of religion. The church like man is both humVn and diviee. The Joy of the Christian experience,I Mr. Churchill said, was service 'and that when anyone enters into the service they will get the Joy and the reality. The essential thing is fa*th, without which wc can not work, for we can not work for something that we do not believe. We must realize that we are making progr?s. Religion ls a personal feeling with God. Sometimes thia personal feel ing is experienced at a time of sad ness caused by the death of a very dear friend or a member of the fam ily. Air. Churchill then discussed the new energy that ia created by living the Christian life. We can see what the oew energy accomplishes but we can not analyze it. We can only Judge lt by Its fruits for language has no power to describe lt. He stated that Cod's program for man ia work and that we must work to accomplish. In . order tc have radiance we must have the resistance Uk the current of electricity that will make a spark when there is enough of resistance.
