Furthermore, under j our lieu system IOUUB on cotton in ad vance could be obtained when not on other crops. Wheat is not yet being grown in the uuantity demanded. There have been so many trying experiences with Wheat Yet in increasing number thc ! farmers are planting wheat. The ag- ? ricultural colleges are teaching how j to select seed so as to prevent these ' evils. Wlicn we think of the amount of wheat consumed in the South, what au incentive it should he to plant more. It reu ?ires UO.OOO.UOO bushelu of wheat annually to supply the South. This ls more than double the amount of wheat grown in the South. Wc should invite farmers from the Cana dian Northwest who are skilled In growing wheat tc c?u.e ?o this section and buy our lands. It would bc prof itable to them, for they could grow two crops on tho same land, following the wheat with corn or cow peas as a soil builder. And our own home people should be encouraged to plant more wheat, even when.it-is noeessary tb take a risk. I OI R XOXTH? OLD On the 13th of January this paper began its morning edition. Yesterday made four months to the day. The establishing and development of this ,/oi.trr witom that time has been re markable, and the reception accorded the paper has been very gratifying to the owners and to the manage ment. It does seem quite a feather m the j cap of a city the sise of Anderson to have a paper taking the complete dis patches of the Associated Press, es- j pcclally in a territory that has been ,s? cut up by other morning papers j from Atlanta to New York. ? j I These four months have boen very trying on the menvwho make the pa per, for thora were many things to be learned, but we now feel that the ,pa per is running smoothly and that the' things that we have learned are for the good of the patrons, and we pro pose to make this a better paper each day, The paper has a force pf capa ble printers and other workmen who have been added to the citizenship of tue ' community, some bringing their families.

But it wi ? i?cs?. Tb? [whole world was riotous with gor geous color, nature's adorning of thc forests and fields. The birds seemed tc J wake all nt once, end sent forth the [sweetest c^.ois over bill sud dole. Living wad joy for them and ecstacy of anticipation. The old wprld threw off the gray garments oQ?fcwmter add decked her self lu the brightest raiment of spring. Woman, lovely creature, laid aside bet chrysalis furs and wraps and came forth gorgeously arrayed in the great est profusion rf color that the - shops have ever produced Into garments. The church laid aside the sober vest ments of the hallowed Lenten season and assnmed the spotless new robes of the Eastertide, The who!:- world i was glsd. Nature exulted, man rejoiced -the angels tang in unison with the ringing of the krystal Spheres"- tor He who was dead hts arisen. The Son ot Mata passed through th" winter of humiliation, ot suffering and of death; but the Spirit laid upon him thc bend cf hc?.:?g.- Ho iain asios ifcne arare clothe* for ?ti? ?*?T?p.tz [eternal life, and came fronv'Oali Itomb to brighten tb? world wit gladness of the resurrection . Baster, the rising of Nature i of the Soul of man from the ' from toe ale?? of the grave to a life of glory which fadeth not away. T!ie church hell? chimed a glad ac claim; tho. sanctity of the church was doubly sacred; the muaic had more of Heaven's anthem in it; the beautiful flowers, God's choicest, offerings, were laid iu bountiful, beautiful sacrifice Upon the altarg of Him who gave them beauteous life. The lesson waa ever new, though ita theme was old. lt waa a beautfiui day, a day which . typefied the transition from winter to spring, t'rom sleep to waking, from death to life, from sin to joy in the consciousness of a risen Redeemer. "For 1 know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that 1 am able to keep that which 1 have committed unto Him against that day? THE SHOUT HAI L Sometime ago wc discussed the lo cal cotton market condition and ex pressed thc hope that Senator E. D. Smith's grading bill would put all markets on a parity, and prevent the North Georgia points from having any advantage. There is another consideration that enters into the case-the long haul and the short haul. We would recom mend to the people of Anderson that they get good reads and shorten thc haul! Otherwise Georgia will draw cotton from this side of the river on account of their good roads. J. J. Fretwell, who has been over on the Georgia aide recently, reports the.roads over there much better than on this side. Tom J. Bolt states that a few years ago Georgia looked upon Andereon as being 25 years ahead of the counties across the Savannah. Now the Georgia people have caught np and are getting ahead of Ander son. Let us build more, roads and better roads and bring more trade lo Anderson. -~-iii-1 ? DO VT LET IT RFN DOWN I One of the best pieces of road way I in the country was the Willlamston hi ghway. This was built nearly three yet,/s ago and should be an asset of thc county.

ULLU WHY H? OPPOSES WILSON ON EXEMPTION REPEAL SAYS ITS PLEDGE Declare? Thal In Voting Against Sims Bill He Is But Following Principles of Platform Washington. April 13- Nothing pending before the congress of the United States now is o? auch absorb ing interest as the question of the re peal of canal tolls and every word said on the subject by the national law makers of the country ?H eagerly read. Today's Congressional Record con-| tained the speech of Representative Finley of South Carolina on this sub ject, made while the matter was un der discussion in the house. In the speech Mr. Finley set forth his views in a very lucid manner and makes it plain where he stands towards the re peal. Mr. Aiken and Mr. Ragsdale voted with Mr. Finley. In addressing the house. Mr. Finley said tn part: "The^, President .has asked the con gress to reverse its action of August 24, 1912. exempting American coast wise vessels from payment of tolls at Panama. We are asked to reverse the policy of this country not only as regards the canal, but also as regards its long-established policy of allowing no foreign interference with the regu lation of its internal affairs. In a matter of such great moment it. ls well to consider carefully the neces sity for such action. The only argu ment of Importance advanced. by the advocates of the repeal measure is that the President has requested it. His request ls embodied in his address to the congress on March . 5, 1914, which is as follows: Wilson's Appeal. "'Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, gen tlemen of tho ?un?...?, ; ?:r.vc Cin?fy to you upon an errand which can be very briefly performed, but I beg that you will not measure Its Importance by the number of sentences in which I state lt. No communication I have addressed to the congress carried with ti graver or more lar-reaching impli cations as to the- Interest of the coun try and I come now, to speak, upon a matter with regard to which 1 am charged in a peculiar degree, by tho constitution itself, with personal re sponsibility. "J have come to ask yon for tho re peal of that provisi?n of the Panama canal act or August M< 1912. which ex empts vessels engaged li? .the coast wise trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the justice., the,.wisdom and. thc large policy of such'\? repeal with the Utmost earnestness br which I am ca pable. "'In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption eon st it ut es a mistaken eco nomic policy from every, point ot-view and is. moreover, in plain contraven tion o? the treaty With Great Britain concerning the canal'Concluded on No vember 18, 1911.
