The Went ber.
Washington, May 30.-'Forecast:
South Carolina-I'artly cloudy Sun
day and Munday, Probably local show
ers.
A-modern hand extinguisher-the
roliing pin.
Watchful waiting In Anderson
'looking for pay day. , ,
Wonder how some women get
around tho "fact that the Bible soys:
"obey your husband." '
They say that strawberries are
plentiful in Gaffney. Hut who wants
to live In Gaffney?
Things are never so bad as they
mljcht be. Some people actually have
to live in Ybrkrllle.
A Boll Moose and an Elephant side
by side would make two grand little
exhibits for some museum.
Two vsrietlea of peaches were seen
In Anderson yesterday-one in bas
kets abd the other In silt skirts.
We heard yesterday that there are
atilt three men in th? city who have
not yet been "urged" to run for al
derman.
The editorial pago of the Columbia
?tate bore a most woe-begone look
yesterday. There waa no "After
math."
At 12:01 this morning John Duncan
waa still running for Governor and
Cansler of Tlrsah is expected next
week. ?
People In Vicksburg, Miss., do not
know what a treat ia in store for
them. Porter Whaley will speak there
next week.
North Carolina isn't as bad as we
thought. The people of one town In
that state have given their newspaper
editor a two week's vacation.
Greenville county had a good rain
yesterday-which leads ur to believe
that there is some truth In the say
ing "The devil takes care of his own."
Tomorrow will tell the tale about
tho Interurban league. If the asso
ciation is formed there will no
longer be any Eearclty of rain in this
immediate section.
Anderson surrendered to the Vet
erans it ls not only about a fortnight
until wo will have to run up the
white flag again-the "Best People of
Earth" are here in June.
And now the uaual invest teat loo
will be begun and learned men will
endeavor for two weeks to place the
blame of Friday's ship disaster. It
will end like all the rest, with nothing
.done. . I
If the people of Anderson would
give aa much time to working their
farms, running their stores and at
tending to their privato business aa
they do working for some politicians,
thi* would be a vastly richer county.
Solicitor Kurt? P. Smith deserves
ts be congratulated upon the splendid
inunn.r Iji ?fh?Ch he hS?dlcd hi? TicW
duties during the three weeks ot court
just closed. Considering tho handi
caps under which he labored. Mr.
Smith discharged the duties of the
ornee tn a moat capable manner. ?
HALIUM KV OF KLMTION Al'??Vfc
Tilt* first definite act fun taken in
compliance willi Hu* rules recently
adopted m Du- State convention will
be the meeting* ol the County Kx?cu
tlvi Committee to be held tomorrow.
These will h?' very busy meetings und
of the VT)' gr?aient Importun?e. At
this meeting each county committee
will proceed to "lay out und des?g
nate each club dist riet .md its boun
daries :is provided in these rules, und
at thal lime may form any new
clubs which they muy deem advis
able.'
The following are the qualifica
tions-' for membership in a dub as
provided in Section G ot the new
rubs:
ii. The qualifications for mem
bership In any club of the party
in this State, and for voting in
a primary shall bo as follows:
The applicant for membership or
voter, shall be '?i years of age. or
shall become so before the sue
coed lug general election, and be
a while Democrat. He >-nail be a
citizen of the United States and of
this state. No person shall be
long to any club or vote in any
primary unless he has resided In
the State two yearn and the coun
ty six months prior to the suc
ceeding general election and In
the club district ?ju days prior to
the first primary following his
offer to enroll: Provided. That
puhlis school teachers and m lu -
Itters of the gospel in charge of
a regulur organized church shall
be exempt from the provisions of
this section, as to resilience, If
otherwise qualified.
It might be well to refer to the pen
alties for fraudulent enrollment us
provided In section ?170 of the criminal
code:
"Any person who shall
fraudulently procure the regis
tration of a name .or names on
the party registration IlBts or the
rolls, in violation of the party
rules or otherwise or
who shall aid, counsel or abot
another In HO doing, either as to
said fraudulent registration or
said fraudulent attempts to vote,
: hall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor and on conviction shall
be punished by a (lue of not less
than $100 nor more than $500, or
be imprisoned for a term of not
less than 20 nor more than 90
days, or both, at the discretion of
the court."
Thus it will be seen that the ma
chinery for absolutely honest elec
tions has been provided by the Slate
convention and by the General As
sembly. It remains for the voters to
cheerfully acquiesce In these rules
and thus insure that no crookedness
can be charged to the primary this
year. Honest men should be willing
to abide the result of honest elections;
others should be made to do so. .
ANDERSON'S SCHOOLS
Every Anderoonlah should feel
proud of the records made by the
?chools of the city for the psst sed
don. If the saying that one can judge
a community by its churches and ita
schools is true. Anderson snould have
a very commendable pride in the
judgment that will go forth wherever
the ;-landing of her schools and her
churches is known.
A total enrollment of her schools
of 3,588 during the past session 1B
climbing at a very gratifying pace.
Surely there is not much need of com
pulsory education in this city. But
lest wo bo misunderstood, we wish
to 8?ute that if there ia one boy or
.Tiri who has the capacity for learn
ing, needlessly kept away from
echool. the State should step In and
see that such boy or girl ls given an
opportunity to prepare for an equal
hattie tn lire.
With such schools as the city has,
there is strong probability that the
future Calhouns will continue to come
from Anderson. We take off our hats
to Superintendent McCants, his able
faculty and the board of trustees for
the splendid achievement.
POLITICAL POT WILL BOIL.
The political pot in Anderson coun
ty will poon be bubbling over, and the
present Indications are that there will
be some lively doings a little later.
Candidate* will begin to como thick
and fast from vnow on, the issues de
fined and the lines closely drawn.
The expressed Intention of all the
candidates is to conduct a clean and
high toned campaign free from any
mud slinging. This is greatly Te
desired and lt ls hoped will be strictly
adhered to during the entire cam
paign. There are certain Issues to
be discussed, and the people informed
on such matters as they are not post
ed upon. So there will be plenty of
topics for discussion other than per
sonal abuse or mud-sllnglng, and the
Intelligencer hopes the candidate, or
the candidates, who begins to lower
the high plane will receive such a les
son from the audience that no furth
er attempt will be made.
The report Just ,mai)c public of the
attendance at the city schools or
Anderson during the past session ls
Very tine ?ndeed and tbs school au
thorities are to be complimented, but
nevertheless it must still bi? admitted
thst there were hundreds ot boya
and girls ont of school when they
should have been made to attend.
A PIK U.MO.NT y\hU IVO I L O FAY
Thai a Kreut Piedmont Fuir would
be u good Investment for ibo people
of Anderson county cannot /?e ?iucs
t toned xhe experience of other
places i? that they do pay, not only
in dividends to stockholders but iii th*
<iulckcn?Hl life of til?* community, or
aiiK' liurx lias a fair association and
two fairs have been held, both pro
nounced successes* Thc attendance
was very' large and law ?'urniiiKH
for tho stockholders resulted. Wal
terboro bas had four sessions of the
Colleton County Fair, and each one
has been better titan the on?- pre
ceding. Barnwell luis proved that
county fair* ar?? profitable, lo say
nothing of fairs held in other places
in the stat. .
Another example comes to mind
from another state. Hopkinsvillc, Ky.,
ia a little city much like Anderson,
tiiough not HO populous. It is the
tenter of the Pennyroyal district of
Kentucky and lias surrounding it fer
tile fanning lands. No cotton <B
grown or manufacturede there, hut
(here are great amounts of wheat and
grain grown, and some good live
stock. The people are independent
and prosperous. Last year lt was de
dil, d to organize a Pennyroyal fair,
and the chamber of commerce got
busy and put up the necessary build
ings and ti liulf mile race track was
laid off. The fair was one of the most
successful ?ver held In that state,
and paid the stockholders almost a
hundred per cent dividend. The peo
ple flocked into Hopkinsville from ev
evry side by the thousands, and the
city got rome of the beat advertising
that could possibly have buen given.
This year plans are under way for
making it greller and grander than
last year.
What the Pennproyal city has done,
can be done In Anderson by a great
Piedmont fair. What has Secretary
Whaley and thc chamber of commerce
to Kay on the subject?
SAMES OF THK ORIGINAL STATES
It will no doubt surprise most of
I us to realize, when our attention ls
called to it, how little we know of the
origin of such familiar names as thoae
of the thirteen original colonies that
declared their independence of Great
Britain and- fought the war of Am
erican liberty more than a century
and one third ago. The following
article contains some facts that will
doubtless prove new to many:
New Hampshire waa named from
Hampshire, England, from which
country many of the early settlers
came.
Massachusetts was so called from
the Indian word meaning Great Hills
Place, probably from the heights of
land near Boston.
Kinnie Island was called Rhode Eye
landt by the Dutch because of the red
cranberries which covered the largest
island in Narragansett Bay.
Connecticut was clied Quoneckta
cut by the Indians, meaning Long Ri
ver, and the settlers applied it to the
colony.
New York, Ors*' eaiied Now Nether
lands by the Dutch, was changed in
honor of James, Duke ot York, to
whom his brother, Charlea II gave
large grants In the colony.
New Jersey was named for Slr Geo.
Carterct. Governor of the Islaiid of
Jorsey. It was originally called Nova
Cacserea, "Now Caeaar.
Pennsylvania, meaning Penn's
woodland from the Latin.sylvania and
William Penn.
Delaware was named from Lord de
la Warr, one of the early proprietors.
Maryland after Henrietta Maria, the
Queen of Charles I of England, at the
rennest of the King in the proprie
tors.
Virginia, named after Elizabeth, the
Virgin Queen of England.
North and South Carolina, original
ly Carolina after Charles IX (Caro
lus) of France.
Georgia, named after George II of
England, who chartered it aa a colo
ny in 1732.-The Columbia Record.
Land* at Vera (rus.
Vera Cruz, May 30.-The German
steamer Yplranga, which ls alleged to
have recently landed at Puerto Mex.??
a cargo of guns and ammunition for
General Huerta, came In to dock herc
today.

of the Hamburg-American Une, who
ls said to have arranged for the land

IMPORTANCE OF RURAL TELE?
PHON i:S.
Atlanta, May . SO.-Special:-Rural
telephones are beginning to play Juat
ne important if not more important
part than either rural free delivery
or parcels post, in putting the farmer
on an economical equality with the
city business man.
The growth of rural telephones
on the lines ot the Southern Bell
throughout Georgia and other south
ern states is as Interesting as a ro
mance. A generation ago the average
farmer waa isolated. Today he Is no
more 1er *ed than hts city 'neigh
bors.
It is directly as Ute results of these
facilities that the-average southern
rmer baa developed into a compe-,
nt business man. a salesman of hie
or n products, as well aa a, producer
of them.
Tho day-has passed forever when
tho fermer laboriously loads his
cross on wagons and ta^es them to
Mraounty sfat and theu either sells
I them or not at prices which may or
may Pot be below normal. Today the
faxmeVwlth a telephone uses the
wiree to two or three iowas before
deciding where he will market his
wares; ead often makes,tho actual
sales over the wires before he even
starts tc load his warona.

JOHN T. DUNCAN AGAIN LOSES.
(From The Columbia Record.)
Seeking readmission to the bur of
this rtate, John T. Duncan, of Co
lumbia, lost his first step toward that
end when tho supreme court refused
Friday to hear his verbal motion for
a review of his case or to accept for
filing a written motion, advising him
to make such before Attorney Gen
eral Thomas H. People*.
Mr. Duncan had prepared a review
of his case containing about a dozen
single-spaced typewritten pages of le
gal cap paper, it was said, which he
proposed to file with the supreme
court.
After the refusal of the court to
hear him. Mr. Duncan did not state
what would he his next step in his
effort to seeure re-inrtatement before
tho bar.
His disbarment about four years
ago by the supreme court followed
one of tho hardest fought cases of
this kind brought before that tribu
nal. Since that time he has repeat
edly made effort to gain re-admission.

! FARM AT CLEMSON
MAKING MONEY
I Use of Modern .Machinery and
Modem Methods Resulting In .
Large Yields
Clemson College, May 30.- That
Clemaon College -ls able not only to
tell others how to make money by
farming, but also to make money for
Itself on Ita farm ls demonstrated by
figures which have Just been given
out by L. B. Brandon, superintend
ent of the college farm. Among
other -things it ia shown that Ute
farm now baa to Its credit about
$3.500 and haa about $2,000 worth ot
corn and hay for ^-!r The farm,
which is under the general direction
ot Prof. J. N. Harper, director of the
Experiment Station and or the agri
cultural department, had a moat suc
cessful year in 1913. One ot the
moat important rectors tn the pro
duction of large crops on this farm
waa the use of modern machinery.
In 1918 the college farm produced
8.000 bushels ot core. 495 tona of
silage, 4,500 bushels of oats. 24 bales
ot cotton (on 18 acree), 150 bushels
of peas and enough hay to feed 40
head ot mule? and Morses, with a sur
plus ot.six carloads for ?ale,
This year Die .-fenn--will make
?bout s.&aa jvn.K?u =; -on 85
acres. Thees oat? are about ready
for cutting and three large binders
will be used In thia work. They are
pure appler oats and will be sold as
seed. When the oats ara wei) out
of the'w&y these 85 acres will be
sown tn peas and sorghum, for hay.
I Ia addition, the farm ia being plant
ed . in 266 acres of corn and 65 acres
of cotton.
The horse and man power used In
preparing and planting this acreage
ia a follows: one thirty horse power,
oil pull tractor; 18 mutee, working
6 two-horse .plows, 2 two-row plant
ers and a smoothing harrow; and 14
men.
The tractor used on the college
farm has a plowing, capacity of
about fifty minutes and can cover
nine acres a day under ordinarily
favorable clrcumaiaacee. It is an
oil-pull tractor and practically all
danger to the crops from tire is
eliminated.
. The plowing capacity of the' farm
la approximately one hundred aerea
a week, enabling Ute superintendent
and his men to seise on every favor
able season for work, no matter how
abort lt may be. The use of modern
farm machinery eliminates delays
and often meena saving crops which
might otherwise be lost because
season o favorable to working were too
short to allow the necessary acreage
to be covered by inferior machinery.
Another advantage of a machine such
aa a tractor on largo farms ia the
elimination of time of the men ?nd
mules, two of the most expensive
factors in makins crops. *.
