How many votes will Mr. Poll-ock | soil? o There ls something doing In Ander son every day. The Anderson spirit is a very fine thing. But do not let lt get too ar dent. Little drops of water lead the poet to rhyme, but don't make the drops too scattering.

There ia one of the Bt&te officers who should be elected by acclamation, State Treaauror 8. T. Carter. Chamber of Commerce reports that 197 pieces of construction work aro in progress In Anderson today. A bell boy in St. Louis recently bought a hotel. And yet they say all of the Upping is done abroad.

So, now, in commending the pa triotism and wisdom of this strong minded sage of Pendleton, this philos opher whose environment and asso ciation us well as Iiis own long and useful life should make his voice strong in this section, we wish to call upon all Hie people to study conditions calmly and vote for the men for all Offices who will be men whose hearts are heating lb time with the pulse of thc people, whose minds ure strong for the issues that will arise und whose souls are above the appeal to knavery and seductions of the sordid things of life. There are such men in Anderson county and such men in the state. WOMEN'S CLOTH KS Men nre such inconsiderate crea tures. While woman, economical wo man, is endeavoring to reduce to nil the amount of her wearing apparel, man. unthinking man, compalins of the high cost of living. Some of tile garments of lovely woman of today seem to carry ad infinitum the policy of reductlo ad absurdum. Suppose man had to pay for the dresses of < Uie - Ellzitycthan < period! With cloth as expensive ns it is today, only one member of the family at a time could.he,clothed. We saw some months ago the remarkable picture of Elizabeth, Queen BesB, as portrayed by Sarah Bernhardt. What dresses she wore! . .Ettlrholt,. ia his "History of Cr j t limes in England," thus describes Eli zabeth, .'.cording to sketches from Walpole, "a sharp eyed lady with aquiline nose, red hair, loaded with Jewels, an enormous ruff, a vaster far thingale (the hooped dress of the pe riod), and a bushel of pearls bestrew ed over the entire figure." Planche iu a confirmatory note with reference to the dress of good Queen Bess, describes "the great ruff, the Jewelled stomacher and the preten tious petticoats strutting out with tre mendous Importance." And lt was not long ago, as we learn from "Dink" in the Hon?a Path Chronicle that such cruelties of fashion got by the board of health even in this fair land. Man, be content. To be sure, some of these luttor day eostumes muke woman ns milch of a ^fright" as in those good old days long gone-but think of the saving, as computed in yards of cloth. THE POOR MAN'S SILO How the average farmer using ordi nary farm tools, at an expense of only $65 can construct a silo with a capac ity of 65 tons-enough silage to feed 20 cows 40 pounds per day for four months-is told in a booklet gotten out by the Live Stock Department of the Southern Railway, a copy bf which will be malled free to any fumier ad dressing request for same to Allen Foreman, live stock agent. Southern Raliway building, Atlanta, Ca. "Where there is llvo stock on the farm there should be a silo" is the title of this booklet which tells of thu advantage to the farmer of having a s??*???id 'tho!ilr?ttt> saving 'whLm it o??ijiW tiln?.to make -in' thc cost of winter feeding for his live stock. The TtgMWftr gTfen -arevta"ken fr?m'ffle'tjy?*'c tlcal experiences of a Tennessee 1 ... mer, who built a silo on the Mr.es In dicated twenty years ago, who finds ll us good as new today and f?fe.s that it hua paid for itself many tiroes over every year. Secretary of AgrlcuRure Houston, lia? recently declared that the south eastern states constitute the Ideal sec tion of the United States for live stock raising and must be looked to In the future for the nation's food supply. To stimulate interest in the live stock industry and to aid farmers to suc cessfully follow these lines, tko Sou thern Railway has established Ita live stock department which la giving in dividual attention to thia work. . j -1, . - . -.-? i ..

In ease Duncan goes In the sec und raci' with either, it is thought tba the friends of either of the other tw< would support Duncan. Clltiscales at Spartanhurg. Drown lng at Union and Cooper and Irby a Laurens all running for governor add: further to the complications. They say that many of Mr. Irby'i friends are talking out in meeting jus now about Hlease candidates calerini to the friends of the opposing candi dates and think that Mr. Nicholl' friends should support Mr, Irby fo governor openly, if they expect Ir hy's friends to support Nicholls, Irb being the only Uleuse candidate fo governor in tliiH district. On the otb er hand the friehds of Messrs Coopoi Clhikscales ami Browning are say in that Sum Nicholls must stay hand off in Hie gubernatorial race if he ex pects to get to congress. To further complicate matters, man strong Hlease men are supporting al three anti-Hlease men for governor o personal grounds and Messrs Johr stone and Human both have arder supporters in the Hlease ranks, whll some influential antl-?lease men ar supporting Nicholls. They say Mend? Smith ls being supported by a grec many Hlease men also, especially 1 Union county, and ?.he double and twb ted, double-back-action and easily r< versible John G. Richards, has mad some alliances among the Bleaaltes u this way that will surely bring dow the wrath of the Irby clansmen upo both Richards and Nicholls in the sei und primary, according to local pol M clans, who seem to understand _ tl situation that "while John Cannon wi alive he held things together, bi t.herei is no ode to take this place ac we are splitting 'up'now .badly." Many Uleasites Bay that John Cai non's death will lose Governor Bleat 200 or 300 votes in Laurens count] I don't know but that is what.I bei over this way, and frankly I hope tht are all wrong. There ls iron g talk I Greenville of B. A. Morgan enterlr the senatorial race. ? heard last fa that "a strong Greenville lawyei would run for the senate and publiai ed lt in thc Columbia Record, but d not have his name. It seems how th Mr. Morgan is the man that intent to enter. In that case W. P. Polloi of Chcraw will certainly enter ala and with four good speakers in tl senatorial race it becomes more dout fut than ever as to thc issue. There is no doubt but that Senat Smith will take some of the form vote from Governor Hlease while t! Governor will make that up from town vote that loves Smith less thi they do Hlease. Mr. Morgan's freinds think that can get enough of the clement not fl isfied with either Hlease or Smith put him in the second race with o of the two, in which event the folio era of either would elect him. M Pollock is depending'on that also, They both may be right or they bc may bc wrong, but anyway lt ls c? tain that If either or both of th? neutral candidates enter, it will ma a second'rpe'e between} two of them. Everybody over this way ls wait! to see what "Ben Tillman will s next." and by the way, anybody w discounts Ben Tillman's influence due to receive a shock. The old m is a pretty lively corpse and is a v< strong factor in politics yet. It is 1 lng told that Richards had his con si to form an alliance with Btease, Blease could help Richards and T man help Ulense on the quiet. I do know how much truth there Is in but I understand that Richar friends are telling H. It ls also ported that Richards made the sta ment In the caucus In the Governc office on the first of June that he I written Senator Tillman of hlB tention to come out for Bleibe : that it was agreeable to Tillman, i otherwise gave them to understi that It was alright with Tillman. mftiM worth.

I Our country ls known throughout tho world as a Chrlstiiin Nation, for th? majority of our people are fol lowers or professed followers at Christ. If there ls imo thing that our Lord teaches most explicitly, and with tremendous power, it is that we shoulu not resist ev|l with eviler fight hate with hate or wrong with wrong. He tells us, without any Ifs br huts; that while it was held in the old time to be proper to love your neighbor aud hate your enemy, those who take Him for their teacher must love their en emies. Tn is. I say, ls the plain t each ing of Christ. Strange as it may seem to us, Christendom has not as yet embraced these teachings of the Master. During lier entire Jdqtory Shfe has been at liberty to hate .lew. Moor aud heretic, and ber march down the ages has been specially marked with bloodshed. In name, accepting tbe teaching of Jesp^;' jp fact, tinding; all sorts of excuses, or reasons tor evad ing that authority. In view of these facts, it is uo won der our president hesitated to declare war with Mexico.; This' neighboring republic la'afflicted with Internal strife; ia poor in number.* and produc tive industries; lacking in widespread knowledge,and public Institutions, thc possession ot wheh niakCE our coun try one of the greatest of nations. We must remember that among the nations Mexico has failed to make good. It was colonized a country before our Republic by the noblest spirits of Spain in her Augustan agi-, and poss esses ail the advantages of climate, soil and production enjoyed by our rountry; yet, side by side, these, two nations have moved down the stream of time the one cursed with poverty, ignorance and superstition, led by bandits fighting among themselves, for leadership, while the other ranks with the world's greatest powers. We cannot afford to urgo war wltn Mexico, becuuse a self-constituted ban dit has insulted qur flug. I deprecate with all the power': of- tuy' soul Rh|e spirit manifested in the cry, "Remem ber the Insult to our flag."
