Of late we have wondered quite a lot what was tho trend of Hie argu ment upon which Woodrow Wilson based his prize debate at the Culver- . alty of Virginia. Recently there bas liven quite an ami-Catholic wave not only in this port of the country, but generally. Wc will not stop to dis cuss that matter, but in connection therewith we have heard that "Wood row Wilson was elected by the Catho lics and that he has a private secre tary who is a Catholic and will nev er let au antl-Catohltc article or let ter get to the President." In religion. President Wilson is one of the straightest of the blue stocking Presbyterians. His father was pastor of tho church lu Columbia and was a militant preacher during tho war. The President of tho Uni ted States attended Davidson College und that Institution by the way bas lind an influence on several members nf bis official family, as Secretary Houston's luther, wo are informed, was graduated Hiere, as was Victor Ulue's. Howard Hanks' and others of thu subordinates of bis cabinet ofli cers. We remember a conversation some throe years ago with that lovely gen tleman. Pringle T. Youmanft, of Rich land county, who hus gone to his reward. We asked him about the career of Wood row Wilson nt the University of Vir ginia. Mr. Youmans in his large, ef florescent manner of speaking said. "Who. 'Tommy* Wilson? Why. of course 1 knew him at college, and re member a number of other men who wore there with us at thc time.

Which lie did. Banking Houses Iee. and is himself a man ot fine Judgment and good training. Thu latest announcement in finan cial circles is that Jos. W. Shelor hus accepted the ellice of vice presi duet of the Dime Savings Hank and that this, the youngest of the finan cial institutions^ of the city, is to be come under him a hanking house of some importance. The directors have decided to till out the complete subscribed slock capital and to make this u bank with wide commercial in terests as well as to continue the savingB deposit feature as a distinct feature. Mr. Shelor has for several years been the cashier of the Anderson Hanking and Trust company and has been an active and hroud guuged young banker and has had the confi dence and respect of thc community to a high degree He ls one of tue most popular young men of the city und will carry Into his new work a high degree of proficiency added to his natural bent for munaging such un institution. The peoplo of Ander son have every reason to be proud of their banking institutions, and this j latest change is look cd upon as (especially fortuitous. of others. 'Tommy' Wilson, as we knew him, was a good student and I remember his winning the debater's medal. As a matter of fact, as ls al j ways the case in such contests, a great many thought that Hen Abney, who I believe was 'Tommy' Wilson's [room mates was the one who was en I tilled to the medal. The orator's medal was won hy DeCourcy Thom, a [brother of the general counsel for thc j Southern Hallway. The subject of the prize medal debate was "Whether or not Catholicism is detrimental to American Institutions." Recnlling the conversation and re flecting upon the attacks that have been mude upon President Wilson by some of the persons who hate Catho lics so bitterly, we have recently won dong1 what side he took lu the ibhatc and have- thought of writing to find out. "' AS TO THE SLEUTHS, Prnrri our advertising columns ii wijl b.. seen that there ls a bureau o? detective", working In this city. In order io Inspire confidence in their business, we respectfully suggest thai they ascertain tho facts about the rainfall in Ibis county in the last 10 weeks. Sometimes we hear of a rain in some section of the county, and again we hear of a rain follow ing a plantation lino, giving relief to one funner and not to another. It will take a good detective to work out the mystery of the rains in this section. Speaking seriously, from the best information we can get, this ls a rell ablle detective agency. There are de tectives and detectives, and some are bigger rascals than the ones they set out to catch, but we are Informed that this new agency in Anderson muy be relied upon. Since the new Income tax law went Into effect, the crop of bachelors has swunk. BF. A BOOSTER.

There is but one prop er course, ot corni ucl for the indivi dual or tor tho city ?mil thal ia to always li? cheerful in public. lt you feel mean, don't let the rem of the world know it. Public spiri' I* laken as the besl measure ot a city's pro grosstveiifs. and ibu town that shows a booming spirit wins respect and ad miration and attracts business. An exchange helps us uni as follows along Ibis line: "A town whose citizens have no public spirit is on the way lu the cemetery. "The citizen who will do nothing to help his own town in helping to dig its grave. "The citizen who growls about his town being 'Hie worst ever* is assist ing in ?ts burial. "Tho business man who will not ad vert?s.? is driving the hearse. "The citizen who is a chronic grum bler and always pulling back ill every public enterprise is throwing bouquets on the grave. "Point to a town whose citizens count college or church or library or chautauqua or lecture course us a loss and you point to a town which will be known throughout your state as 'a gootl town to move from.' Do your pan. then, as citizens. fount for something in the affairs of your town or city.

LOSING OTU ASSETS. lt is with-regret, that the people of Anderson see Dr. Lee Sanders leave for Rochester, Minn., although it is a pleasure to know that an Anderson man has been recognized by ttie great Mayo brottiers and that he may re turn in three years, after he has add ed to his technical knowledge and has made himself nil ttfe'bet?er-fitted icr his life work. ? ' ?ii ',. .. . -.. . ? -j .. Surgeons are bom (and not m*de. und Dr. Sanders reems to be pecul iarly lilted for surgical work. He has done a great deal of splendid work while practicing in the Ander son County Hospital and has proved his capability. We have lett several surgeons equally as good, but we like to see none of them leave. Another reason we regret the departure of Dr. Sanders is because he had plan ned a movement here for a negro hospital, something that is greatly needed. We hope that some one elBe will be found to take up this work, whirl Dr. Sanders could have put through with a little more encourage ment. The world ls being filled up with Anderson county men who have made good abroad. Wc need them at home. Anderson should become a big city, and if wc keep losing our assets we will bc the longer in growing into the proportions that we deserve. Let us keep ul home our assets in splendid young mei".. Support them, encour age them and Le proud of them. RETRACTORS MAKE CS TIRER. We are informed that certain per sons have been going around telling that some gentleman in another city in this state owns the controlling in terest in The Intelligencer. This Is about as big a yarn as could be told There ie. no mystery about the owner ship of The Intelligencer. It is own ed and controlled by the business men ot Anderson and the stock was offered for sale to any person in the city who wanted any. We are trying to give to tho peo ple u good newspaper, and we are doing so, for a group of four gentle men from ns muny different parts ot the state, told us one day last week that this is the best paper in tho state outside of Columbia. If we should write all wo know of our detractors lt would make racy reading, but it would give heart aches to some good woman at home, and for that reason we will drop the Sub ject-and our detractor". TAKE CARE OF THE MILITIA. The city of Anderson should ar range for some kind of outing for the local militia me-.. The stato govern ment and the national government seem unable to agree on the proposi tion of an encampment and something should be done for the local company to encourage the boys to Kiep up their interest in the organisation. Ol ve them an outing, c Li zens, if it be nothing more than a wjek In camp at Portman. si HMM/.!-: MOTORS. German Military Authorities Tay for I'n-s i h u- Future Cse. Harlin. Jun?' '?'J. -The German mili tary authorities have adopted a novel form of the subsidy principle as a pr? parai ion for the next ivar. Imitat ing the example of those countries i hut subsidize steamships in order to convert them into naval vessels in times of war. the German war office lias for about a year been paying sub sidies on heavy automobile trucks, which the army will take over by rc oHfsirton ns soon aw a-war breaks out. so far as they may be needed. The aim of the authorities, however, goes niuch further than mendy to have a certain number of euch trucks at hand which may be. requisitioned; they hope to get then; so generally In troduced that the armies can timi them anywhere in sufficient iiuunisitte h anywhere in such quantities for mov ing military supplies. The system is to pay the subsidy to the manufac turer at the lime that he sells the machine to a person buying il for his own use. All the leading German automobile building companies are now putting such subsidized drays upon leb market. The military au thorities are so well satisfied with the system that they have Just de elded to increase the subsidies and to extend them to the sixth year, where as they had hitherto only buen pay ing them for five years. Hitherto the total subsidy for live years on an au tomobile with one trailer was $18.r?7; while hencefotrh it will be $2048 ror live vea rs. Germans Are Interested. Herlin, June 29.- The interest that German sporting circles are taking in the OlyniDic games to be held in Herlin In 1911> lt; reflected in a remark able Increase in the organizations of the turnery. The annual leport of the national organization shows that 450 new clubs with a membership of G'.OOO Joined lt in the course of the year. The general organization now consists of 11,000 clubs, having a to tal membership of 1.400.000. The turners are trying to induce the mili tary authoiities to prescribe a cer tain minimum degree of physical de velopment to entitle recruits to light er military exercises. As a great part of the military drill, particular ly in thc tirst year, is designed mere ly to develop physical strength, the turners urgue that much of this could be dispensed with in the case of the your.g men who have already made themselves strong through systematic exercise and they believe that the ex emptions asked for would give a great impetus to their organizations. Can't Stand Pressure. Berlin, June 29.-The development of the woman's movement In Ger many carries with lt a remarkable in crease in suicides by women. While the ratio of suicides of men remained constant during the twenty years ended with 1912. the number of women suicides increased from 8.3 to 10.6 per 1000.000 of the woman population. While there are doubtless many caus es for.Mm increase, the chief cause Is attributed to the fact that women Lave goue Into workshop and factory, mer cantile employments and the profes sions much more extensively than 20 years ago. They have shouldered larger responsibilities and have ex posed themeselves to rester econom ic and social dangers. That the . aus.e is hugely an economic one ls ??vident from the great increase of womer suicides at Berlin where near ly 48 women take their own lives to every 100 men. Prlncel} Approval Sufficient. Berlin, June 29.-Songs that have pleased the Grown Prince and his family canot be indecent. At least this appears to be the rule of law from the state's attorney In an action aguinst a Berlin music publisher The action began with the confisca Hon of fifteen songs. The proseen tor contended that each of these was Indecent and a violation of the law .-oncoming, obscene publications. The defendant's attorney set up that ten of the pongs had been sung at a ape dal performance in the palace before the Crown Prince and other members of the imperial family by a cabaret performer. eThese ten wer thereup on released, but the court upheld the confiscation of the other live. Population Increase Slow. Berlin, June 29.-The population of Greater Berlin is growing at a slow er vate since the present period of business depression set tn. It tn creased last year by only 50,600 whereas the gain had been 108,100 for 1912 and 119.000 for 1911. Berlin itself actually lort population In 1913 for tile first time In very many years The reduction was about 16.000 whereas the previous rate of gain had been about 12.000 a year. That the change in prosperity was the cause of this movement in population ls evi dent from the fact that the number of concerns in Greater Berlin employ ing as many as 25 persons was re duced in 1913 by 19.000.

His hones y was perfectly manifest, but there vas apparent a lack of statesmanship n the measures he presented, or the Rsues which ho advocated, which was liBappointing. Then there was also i "want of dignity in his altitud^ and nanner which distinctly chilled hi? learers who evidently expected some tririfc-better.

Mr. Richards Showed a desire to ex ile factional feeling and clans dis inctions which fell far short of ap paling to the conservativo thought if the audience which gathered hi the ou rt house. The readiness of Mr. Honards to swap horses; to^cnange tis course to catch the ripple of nh"y" ireeze which might bear the ballots -for a mixed metaphor may be used -his swift change from dispensary hamplonship to prohibitionist and hen to local option and then from the ntl to the pro Blease column, had ap arently sunk into the c?n?ciou?aosB. f the Florence auditors | and , Mr. Richard s failed signally to "put ' itr fer." ,1???S ?Mr. Manning, true to tho uaMeilw .Tiich his frienda 'bave placed *Mm$n& fade* a dignified; and earneefc-folfi tie issues.
