To the average, man, the making of ? full anil fair return of un Income, . uni the wriiiiiK of a law covering t!*e various cluHHi's'V>f income, seems fair ly Hlmple. Hut the putt in k into ef feci of the new statute Iiuh dlHeloRed a multitude of Irritating complexities] tiial hail not been'thought out in ad vance No dontat the luw will be amended and simplified. <)iii< of tin- more serious difficulties is Hie question how profit? und losses In stocks and bonds should be treuted. Many railroad and other Htoekholdera saw the market valuation of their cer tificates shrink almost half during the year 1913. Arc they entitled to de duet from their income this shrinkage?! Or must they wait until they actually| si'll such stork? it has been stated 4?y Home author ity that HilelfklnatlHrSlbt'.id he claimed ttH deductions, If actual.y Hirgcd off as losses on the buok? of the stockhold er.

The recent death of Dr. Alphonse ] I Bertillon of Paris revives Interest in former discussions as to the* relative I merits of his system of identifying | criminals, and the {Inger print meth The ordinary identification of crim I InalB by photographs and descriptions Is at- hebt unterhalb and cumbersome.

The thou I sand' shades of expression on the hu man faceyaeaMenjeriy when-a man la I reluctant" en ter this Hall of Fame, | makes Identification often dubious. In the five cent thriller that you buy I at the''news stand, the detective can] always recognise a given face after In tervals of many yAeVs. Real detec tives are not gifted with such powers | of memory. ? The system of measurements which j Dr. Bertillon invented has been wide ly used. It was claimed that no two people in the world could show meas- j un meats corresponding In all parti culars The system encountered the objcc-l tton that it took a man with much ex-| pertence in such meuaurlngvtto pro duce reliable results.mErrors wore oc casion, lly made, and measurement:, by different men varied, even those made by the \mnte 'man at different times.

To many young andt-ambitious ball players this Is a crlfmTtlme.

A HOME INDUSTRY The ladles of the civic association of Anderson are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts to get a great white way started there. The pla za had been complimented by people of taste who have admired it greatly. It un asset to the city and should be preserved as such. The ladles had an arnest advocate In Secretary Whalcy and he proved that the third time bears u charm, for last night was the third time he hud nuked council to give this permit. lluvlng favored this proposition from the outset, we have one sugges tion to make?Have the work done at home: ' Mr. Wlggington of the Ander son Foundry und Machine Shops has made the iron columns for lights in other cities und we would like to see hint get the work here ut home. We believe In giving all the work pos sible lo our local enterprises. This local foundry is equipped to do tin* work und has designers of taste and skill. This Is the latest but not the last constructive development by the civic association. If the city could be turned over to those good women to be operated by them for one month, we believe we would have the best place on earth. WHAT IS AN 01?; A M An organ has been des rlbad by one writer as the grandest ol musical in sturmentH, the introduction of which has undoubtedly exercised'a powerful | Influence on the development of musi cal art and civilization. 'Old No?h ' Webster'has defined "or gan" in one of Us shades of meaning i to be "an instrument or medium through, which, some important action ' is performed, or un important act Is accomplished." The Intelligencer does not object to being called an organ, when we ob serve such meanings as these. Another definition is " a medium of expression or communication between one person and another." Any friend, any citizen, firm or corporation, when misrepresented, wrongfully used and spitefully ubused, may find in this paper "on organ" to let the truth be put before the public. This paper wishes to be an organ.! It would like to be an organ for the1 churches, tor the schools, for the civic association, for the Y. M. C. a., for the Chamber of Commerce. We wUl 'always be found playing cheerful notes :in. public. iand never giving ut~ Kance to the grunts and whines of a ky. wheesy little old concertina,, '" Yes, The Intelligencer is an organ. It hopes to sound the vox angelica, the delicate notes of sympathy and hu man kindness; we hope that we may' sound the dulciana and the deep dl epson of a profound love for this beautiful city; we hope that the whole gamut of human interests may be sounded in this paper, the organ of progressive spirit, of hopefulness, or willingness to surfer and to sacrifice for Anderson. One of the good hills that we do not see listed in the acts that ^vere passed by the l?gislature was qne ioi atop the disgusting habit of smoking] In publie cafes. .1 Mexican generals should be treated | with consideration. American con suls should prostrate themselves in the dust seven times before asking any) Information from them. ; - , I, )i ilti i .ii -? Ul:r 'H \i And now that Anderson mills are all on their feet and running well, it la some other cities that are getting the bumps. And still there's more to fol low. THE MARE'S NEST Brawn out evidently, by the pre-| sensation by The Intelligencer of the truth in the matter, and the facta on both sides of the case, the following; appeared in the local afternoon pa per yesterday: -What the Mlaates Show" "Moved by Mr. Shearer that the board of trustees refuse to sign contracts for water and re fu!.? to pay bills for water for schools located within the city limits. Carried." tTaken from the minutes of the meeting of the heard of | J trustees of the schools, and de . <?'ared as being correct, by Ms*. J. A. Brock, chairman *>r th? hoard. 1 "Mr. Brock what caused or prompted the trustees to hold 'up or refuse to pay the bill ren dered by the Southern Public Util ities company for water furnish ed the schools doting the month or February?" was the question asked of Mr. Brock this after noon by a representative of the Ilia Daily Mall. "There was some doubt ex pressed on the port of some of the members of the hoard aa to tho validity of the franchise, and a lawyer representing thet board and the Oounsel for the sjefcHrsra Public Utilities will confer and agree, ff they can on a basis of settlement." was Mi*.* Brook's reply. above U but >a coaflrraatton of j kt appeared In The Intelligencer Mr/1. A;/Brock, When akk ed over the phone If the afternoon ] paper quoted him correctly, stated that it did substantially. However, he] qualifies the above by stating that in! the last.paragraph, the "liability" ot of the city, rather than the "validity" | of the franchise, would have express ed his view more aptly. Asked how ! many members expressed themselves at the meeting Mr. Hrock said that | the discussion was by no means gen eral. The case of The Intelligencer is con elusive. SIMM IN NEW OFFICE Orntigeherg Man Tuk'n Oalh As| Marshal Charleston, March 10.?James L. Sims of Orangeberg. editor and pub lisher of the Orangeberg Times and Democrat, is now United States mar shal for the district of South Carolina, he having subscribed to the oath of office before Judge 'Henry A. M. Smith at I o'clock this afternoon. The new marshal's oath and commission were Hied with the district clerk of court, after which Retiring Marshal J. Dun can Adams turned over to him the effects of the office. Marshal Sims will of necessity spend much of his time, in Charleston, hut will continue I to make his home at Orangeberg. He wus appointed by President Wilson and confirmed by the senate Blmul tuueous with the new district at torney, Francis H. Weston, of Colum bia. Last week the new district at torney appeared as such for his first Itime in the federal court, officiating j at a one-day \erm of the court held at Florence. Upon request of the incoming marshal, the outgoing offi cial, J. Duncan Adams, carried on the ! duties of office through the first Week of March. Marshal Sims reappolnted N. M. Porter chief office deputy. J. L. Adams was also reappolnted office deputy. George N. Schoenberger, also an office deputy did not ask for re nppointment. It 1$ understood that he will soon leave Charleston. It Is un derstood that this vacancy will bo tilled by a man to be appointed from I Greenwood, though his name could not be learned this afternoon. The new marshal has as yet taken no ac tion regarding the apolntment of [field deputies. ******* * * * * * # * * * THE DAY IN CONGRESS * * '* ******* * * * * * * Washington, Mfcu-ch 10.?SENATE? met at noon." l(, , Samuel UutemeVer testified on the Istockuexefcaifce regulation bill be? fore thss&eelrlng<committee'*!; ?.
