There are no sp?c(ati|ulgT deals being made here-probably To cause regret ut some later day. But there is a steady upward tendency. ? There ts a ; feeling Of confidence and of local pride which was here once but later was destroyed when the panic of 1907 hit the sou lb. This feeling of confidence is caus ing men of Andersen to do things. We do not like to see real estate jug glery and swapping around to the possible hurt of a town, but bona fide deals in real estate are straw? to the windward to indicate what a town ls worth. When our logeai people In vest largely In their own home town real estate, lt is a nur/r sign that the town ls in a healthy condition. There is no need to look about for the reason. Thia ls a town that is forging ahead. Sometimes we hear of people-who ljnve lota > of tim? to waste-moping about the lack of lead ership in Anderson. There is a lead ership here. It is not vested ip one man, for when a town has one man who dominates all the rest, the rest must be more or less mediocrities. But thia town ia led by a Chamber of Commerce of several hundred men, nearly any of whom hi fit for a leader In a Quiet way, and the board of direc tors of nine men forms a unit of leadership that we will back against the state, or against the leader of any other town in the country. Sometimes a town hob a leader who will put the town In his pocket-we can point to euch in the ?tate of ...... -....... _ ouuiu Vvaruuim umojr. oui Auacrauu is the town where men put their shoulders together and forget all alignments In the effort to make a good town better, and-then better yet These remarke are called forth by the.transaction of a certain piece ot rani entaic yeuuirday In which mote was paid for one-fourth of the prop erty than the whole thing was worth on the market two years ago. There ia an-oid--principal of com mon law that "he who comes into I court with clean h an dj" has. every thing in his favor. That appears fol be the principle upon which Presi-I dcm T?iitfc? prcceed??. Suppose congress had the right o? might to naas & MU eliminating the tolls rforo cn? coastwise ships, was It right to do this in view of our sol emn covenant with Orea* Britain?

The house of representatives agreed with the president, his policy having rujnri ?nnmvMl hy t? mninpii* nf AVA? 80. The case is similar to a man mak ing restitution, or sending back "con science money." Ia fact the Cited States, lt appears, had no more right to pasa a schedule ot tolls in oppo sition to the Hay-Panncefote treaty than a man would be honorable who would sell out bis business and vio late an agreement pot to open it again in competition with the purchaser, ^s^rjfeefmore, our own ehlpptug {need not softer. Our warships will pay the tolla, and the money will go Into our treasury-just swapping from one pocket, to another.

V. RUSSIA'S QI'AN DAK Y Russia has been looked upon as a selfish, terribly autocratic govern ment. And yet the czar has given evi dence! of a spirit and a degree of man hood that show? that ?he world ls not so bad after all. He will not sell his people to tho ljqour god for money to strengthen his army. Who would bave thought that of Russia? He will not permit hHn gov ernment to be strengthened at the! risk of turning his people Into sots.; The czar ls In a quandary. He must' have money to reconstruct lila navy and to reorganize his army. Premier Witte just before the war with Japan established a governmental liquor monopoly from which $300,000,000 a year was derived, <but the czar says that " it ls Inadmlssable tha the pros perity of tho people should depend upon the destruction of the moral and economic welfare of the great multi tude of Russian subjects." What is to take the place of vodka as a-revenue producer? The Russian government some years ago endeavor ed to propagate a peace plan that would reduce an overgrown non-com hat um army and to Increase the splendid standing army of sober working men. It Russia does away v. ?th the grog shop monopoly, what will she substitute? The world will await the outcome with great Inter BU BN THE TRASH .One of Anderson's needs is a crema tory. The health of this city would be protected. Tho hospital will have to pul In one of these Incinerators nnywav. so why not have a big one for the whole city. It would con sums to ashes all of the garbage from ? the streets and yards of the city. Our enterprising board ot health] has recommended this, and we hope it, will be put Into effect-provided the cost ia reasonable. Take a drive some afternoon and witness the dumping grounds of the city. What a blessing lt would be to have the envlros of the city bebt clean. (1 And another step in this direction which we would suggest is to place* the big garbage ?ana below the level of the, sidewalks. Put them in ,holes ana? cover the holes with acst iron top?
