than ever in the history of Hie city.
A few months ago Ibo Citizens Nat

and tho two under the able, wiso and
conservative management of Julius

ing one of the staunch ami reliable

"TOMMY** WILSON DEBATER'S
MEDAL.
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.

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

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.

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. ? '

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

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

reading, but it would give heart aches
to some good woman at home, and
for that reason we will drop the Sub

TAKE CARE OF THE MILITIA.
The city of Anderson should ar
range for some kind of outing for the

ment and the national government

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

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

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.
