Ed DeCamp, never runs out of edi torials-be, ?an. always fall back on .the good roads question. > If all .the -diforala Ed has written on thia sub be 'peta ed together they i reach fr'dm oirfaw to Mexico THIS IS CAMPAIGN V ti A lt Tills ls campaign year . rli?*?*- ' four short words convey a peculiar meaning to the people ol South Car olina lu ?lu- light ?>f recent experience, they mean Btrife and bitter dissen sions. WlM'ii one contemplates the ! many useless and needless divisions i of voters as they line np on opposite .sides, and in their Joya I ty Kt what I they conceive to he right. do and say things bringing discord and strife, one , is almost tempted to wish for a lim ited monarchy where elections und election years never come. Business becomes stagnant. Men cherish hu tred for their fellowmen. Friends are estranged from friends. Passions ar? aroused Much valuable time is lost by partisane working tor their favorites. And for what? In order that some selfish man who cares more for their own political preferment than for the common good, may he el evated to official position. Mut on the other haud, the fact that this is election year, ami all the peo ple have a right lo partake In the se lection of the men who shall be the oi liiials governing their county, stute or nation, causes a wide-spread inter est in the science of government and as an educational force lt ls important Had the primary never been inaugu rated ill South Carolina it is doubtful If the people of the Stute would have been so well informed as they ure lu matters pertaining to government. .' > it lt u mooted question us to whether or not mon? good or evil ls derived from this frequent discussion of mut ters political. Ol course it is to he regretted that there should be anv strife or bitter ness nnd The Intelligencer hopes that there will he more moderation this cumpulgn year than has marked sev eral of the recent past. The people of this County und Slate have to con tinue to live together as neighbors, and friends. How much better they should feel so. What difference does lt make thai one man has a prefer ence for a candidate and one for another? But is it not true that the candi dates speak about those things which the voters Uko to hear? South Caro linians are ccrappera; they like to fight and they admire fighters. If tho voters would IIIHU oft the stage the first candidate who attempts to introduce personalities and incite strife, this would Insure a clean and high-toned campaign. Will they not do it this year? There are many question/, on which the people should be informed and there are some men running for office who can give tho people food for thought along practi cal lines and much valuable informa tion. Lot us make this a campaign of ed ucation and not of abuse and vitupe ration . ? WHY NOT A PIEDMONT FAIR! lt is not yet too. late tor the peo ple ot Anderson county to get to gether and organise a Piedmont Fair to be held this fall in Anderson. This county is one of tho leaders of the State in an agricultural way. The number and variety of. the produits of this county are not known to thc people qf the county, and there would be no factor of more worth to them than to have a friendly rivalry over the product of the farm, the home, the school, tho mill. Great advance ment along agricultural lines und in the raising of live stock", bsa marked these counties in the State- where county fairs have been held. Our idea, however, ia not for a comity fair, strictly, hut tor a big fair second only to the State fair af Co-* lumbla and embracing the entire Piedmont and called if you pletse, The Piedmont Fair. It will pay the first year from a- financial viewpoint in dividends to its stockholders, to say nothing of th? intangible benefits tn be derived. Anderson is the Ideal lo cation for this fair, and tho time for organization ia here. Will not tho Anderson Chamber of Commerce take thin matter up r.nd push lt? AN ABLE SOLICITOR. The thirteenth Judicial crlcult com prised or Plckens and Greenville counties. Is fortunate tn having a soli citor of unusual ability. Proctor A. I lenham ia conceded to bo one- of fhn ablest solicitor In thia state, Hia rec , ord wilt prove the truth of thia state ment. The position of solicitor ta a v;.ry important one. Upon the legal knowledge'and oratorical akin of tho incumbent depends, much of the nd-; ministration of justice. Where tho so'iritor is weak Justice will go astray, moid often than lt does. Lawyers ff?T tho u,;fins5 ySiW get ?CM iii i i'm! ri fur clients who should be convicted. Any msn who frequents court rooms knows tbe. weight which snood legal talent has on whatever side lt may be. Solicitor Bonham can hold hts* own against the best of legal skill in this beeilen. The circuit should be glad to. have such a man lo this high office. His duty la the administration of Jus tice and not the making of a record, and we believe that Solicitor Bonham ur. al;e*i bis flghU in the Interest of the er forcement of thc law.-The Green ville News.

There have been many very creditable display" in show windows in the city or me mentos that ar?; priceless and that will become more so as the years roll by. It is doubtful ir the owners In many cases realize the value or these old trinkets and historical articles. It is sale to Bay that in a few years when the present owners shall have passed away the collections now being held together will be scattered and many ot thom lost. In conversation with a gentleman yesterday, the suggestion was made that an effort be made to secure a room and organize a historical socie ty tor Anderson: county where auch .valuable souvenirs or, a former day might be placed for safe-keeping so that the sons and daughters may go to view them and become.imbued with the spirit of their ancestors'. Such a suggestion ls worthy or carefu! con sider ??I ion, and lt ls hoped th. move ment will materialize. PAVED STREETS. A tew days ago The Intelligencer expressed this opinion: "What does Anderson need most it she intends to lie a city?' Paved street. Commenta thereon the Newberry Herald and Nowa Baya: "The building of streets marks the forward movement or any town or city. No town can expect or hope to be any t lil hg' 'dr to do anything until it begins to bulbi fi?me decent streets. We have duld that as to Newberry and lt Ia as true as any gospel ever preached. What we need in Newberry Just now ia a movement td build some streets. We have none- Literally none. The prurient generation should not be ex pected to pay the whole cost either. Somebody get busy if we are to start tho march or progress." You are right Brother Aull. Paved streets make a city. l^ook at Green ville Look at Columbia, and look at Anderson! And yet some would de ter, tor perhapa many years the get ting paved streets in order to follow a will o- the wisp in another direction. An - Anderson man was heard ex patiating at great length yesterday on how to tell tho age of eggs. ir Mayor Grace has not forgotten the Spartanhurg meeting or two years ago he will know something about the same thing. Wc heard a North Carolina preacher once, praying for rain, during tho course of which he Said: "Oh Lord, don't (.end us any of these here drlz zlc-drazttes. Kemi us a sho-nulT toad strangler and gully washer." The latter ls Just about what we need now. Not Responsible. ' Anderson ts sore at the P. and N.
