IIIIICH lo Knoxville M mil?'? of uneoinpleteil railway. T?tere is nothing closer lo the heart of Anderson than tho wish lor that road lo be completed. lt would be the making of this elly, would pul it in fair competition with other cities of our rank, and with our superior back country Ibis city would be the pearl of tin- Piedmont. The announcement lin another page of til IK issu?- is interest inn. R ap pears to us thai the dream is gradu ally unfolding and thal substance ls being niven to the vision. It begins to appear to us that Col. A. H. Andrews, president of the Blue Ridge, knew what he was saying when he stated thut lie expected to live to see the completion of tliis road through the. mountains. The Southern railway owes much to Anderson. Capt. J. lt. Anderson BO stated in this paper yesterday. Uut Anderson must show her appreciation of this latest attention on the part of the great railway system which has done so much to build up the south. Therefore we suggest to our mer chants of Anderson to inaugurate u campaign of advertising and boosting Anderson through the section tribu tary lo the lllue Ridge, especially west of this city. WE NEED SILOS. The growth of the development of the rilo as a means of building up dairying and fat stock Industries has been one of the phenomena of the ] past live years; so much so that every 1 fat stock and dairying section of im- ! portante in tl:c United Slates has found it necessary to construct thousands of silos. This development has been greatest in the middle and southwestern states where it has built up and is building up the fat stock industry to great proportions, and yet withal tho de mand for meats and dairy products in the United States ls BO great that the supply ls fairly below the demand, hence the determination to begin a like development in the eastern and southern states. The agricultural department of the local chamber of commerce, which is always alive to the future importance of such agricultural and semi-indus trial development In Anderson county, ?orno time ago, placed the matter of building a silo factory tn this city beforo u well known Des Moines manufacturer, and IISB received ti re ply In which the manufacturer stated that they will investigate conditions in this county but at present "The silo business is so great in the middle west that wc have not completely lo cated all plants that we are prepared to handle at this time in that section." The increased acreage in corn and small grain should mean more silos. The product could he cut before ma turing, packed and salted down in ellos and make the best kind of Block feed, green throughout the year. Moro silos, more small grain and corn; more grain, more cattle; more cattle, more wealth; more wealth, lesa poverty; less povorty, more hap piness. The thought of building a silo has staggered thc average farmer, for he thinks of a silo ns something big and expensive, such as are used at Clem son and ?;n some of the big farina of the country. As a matter of fact The Daily Intelligencer some months ago printed a plan for building a silo which would save the green feed per fectly and could he put up for use on a small farm nt a coat of but a few dollars. One beneficent result of the atato campai?n is to get Into the headlines the naries of such court houses as Monck's Corner, Ridgeland, Green wood. Gaffney, nt al. Correction: Headline in thia paper yesterday stated "Richards tbrows himself unreservedly In fuvor of pro hibition." It should have read "Clink8calea." Wo do not know where Rtchaids stands this week. Let everybody get on the gas-elec tric and take a Joy ride to the foot of the mountains. Many happy returns for all who travel over Anderson's Own Line. ooooooooooooooooo THE BLUE RIDGE o ? O O O 0 O 0 O (I o o o o o o o o e ?Pentling ?t? the mt* electric train...? fruin out o? Anderson nest. ule to Westminster, bringing that good tn. I passenger curs tor its regular steam Indenten ?ill be completed in titree jinplctlon of the ilitie Itldgc through to oming Through It is quite probable that in a year or two active work will be in pro greats on tlie completion of this road through the mountains und on to Knoxville. Hut as we reason it out, much depends upon Anderson. If we demonstrate t?i the Southern that we will k?'ep the project from heing u failure, we believe this great com pany will do the r?'st. The signs of the times-the re rebuilding of the great bridge over Three-and-Tweuty at a cost of $100, 000; the rearing ..' u handsome pas senger station ot. ac Blue Ridge; the purchase of ste?:l passenger coaches and other rolling stock for this road; and tinnily the inaugurating of this additional passenger service west of Anderson. These signs point to something surely. We would not cause the hopes of our people to rise too high, yet we would advise them to reach out and create all the business they can for this train; make it pay; make it a happy thought for the railway company; and the more successful the new undertaking proves, just the more rapidly will we approach our ultimathule and secure the comple tion of the road. We must show a spirit of cooperation. And some day, some how, before very long we hope THE ?BI? IDEA" WILL COME THHOCHU. THE POLITICAL BOSS. What ls a political "boss?" We hear much of this species of genus homo, and a terrible creature he is represented to bc. The question is often asked, why do not the people get rid of him? The power of the political boss is one of the moBt mysterious things of this nation. While the people are supposed to be in authority, yet they are always bossed. If the bossing isn't done by a person, then the whip handle is held by some little devil of human passion that dominates the mind and soul of the voter and converts him from a rational being into one of a drove of birds or of stampeding cat tle of the plains-so far as reason, judgment and power to choose the right are left to him. Occasionally, In times of extraor dinary civic virtue the people form a combination of their own and they get the upper hand of thc buss. But these are exceptional occasions. As a rule the people are too easy going, too indifferent, too deluded to rise up in their might. The boss with his army of political debtors, sycophants nnd thugs remains in undisputed con trol. We have seen in many placea an ex emplification of the deplorable fact of bossism. But an awakening has al ways come, and come it always will I when dictation and bossism get too arrogant.

The local afternoon paper in its sc count of the killing at Williamston has this Item: The coroner at Greenville re fused to surrender Kelly's body to the Anderson county authori ties. Solicitor EC. P. Smith im mediately took thc matter up with Solicitor Proctor Bonham at Greenville, and Kelly's body will be sent back to Williamston this afternoon, where an inquest will be held by the authorities of An derson county. If the stricken man had been sent to the Anderson County Hospital, which Is noted for its operating room and its facilities for handling pa tients, this sad mix-up might never have occurred. Anderson county farmers never have a "laying by" time. They can always find work to do. when they can get enough rain to get the crop up. Now we are almost within holler ing distance of Clemson College. MOTOR GIVEN CLARK Republican I.cailcr Waireil Fight far | lleiiHicrat'- Recognition. Washington. June 30.-After days! of Parliamentary wrangling both! Houses of Congress today agreed to I appropriate for automobiles for Vice- [ President Marshall and Speaker Clark; j Each will have it car costing $4,1)00. Republican Leader Mann led thc i light for the appropriation for the speaker. "1 think," lies aid. "we ought to give him a slight recognition of his great abilities as a speaker, remem bering that bul for a chance he would now have been president enjoying the privilege of many automobiles. I dd not wish to draw comparisons between the Speaker and the Presi dent, but if Champ Clark hud been nominated and elected President, all would have been proud of him in that position." The House cheered Mr. Mann's tri bute to the Speaker, and passed the I appropriation, already approved by | the Senate. ooooooooo o o o o o o o o o I o Oi o FRANK U. NANCE. o o o oooo O O O O O O O o o o o o o o o The Columbia State. At several places the governor, a candidate for renator, lias repeated the Ptatement that "In the county of Richland, right in the city ot Colum bia, the enemies of the people have actually placed the books of enroll ment of one of the clubs in the Colum bia State newspaper building and when my friend?, or the friends of the people, want to get their names on a Democratic club roll, they have got I to be humiliated hy going into this building and sometimes by being ha rassed hy people who know that they are my friends." Hero are the factr: A storeroom on the street level fronting on Main street, of the State Company's build ing is occupied by Its book store and the oftlce of its Job printing depart ment. Frank Vance is a clerk In the Job department and has his desk in that room. The Democrats of Ward 2. this city, elected Mr. Vance secre tary of their club and he has his roll book at his office. Frank Vance is a young man of 24 or 25, a native of Laurens coun ty, son of the late Samuel W. Vance. He is an honest, competent, hard working young man. earning his live- j lihood. He has no more to do with : the making of The State newspaper | than hue any one of thousands of oth er Columbians, and were he a report er or even an editor it would not be a reason why he should not serve his ward club. The State Company's book store and Joh department arc conducted for the purpose of selling goods. There may be in South Carolina people so lacking In sense as to think that the State company would invite financial loss and Injury by permitting per sons entering it . to be mistreated or "humiliated." but -we do not believe it. .Y ^ ^ .y. # if. >(. ff. 9f> * * * THE DAY IN CONGRESS * * * -Y -Y- -Y- # W W # Washington, June 30.-Senate met| at noon.

"Won't you come into my parlor, Said the Spidti to the Fly," Once .we hated Mr. Spider, And we trembled for the Fly. Hut since then times have changed. And Spider gets hit? dues at last. We now. Indeed, the parlor'd build, lt oj)ly we would catch 'em fast. Once three men Dreamed and the Dreams of each were Romance tinged, for there was a Girl. One of the three Dreamed of going Into the world's trade places and skil fully wresting from tho?e who have money, for tile girl had money. He wanted $25,000, for that WHS the lady's endowment. AB he dreamed the first quarter hundred thousand came so easily, that he put no period to lils fancy's flight and the Dream multiplied thc kale. Up and up it mourned, until tho full hundred thousand mark was reached. Then did the dreamer begin lo piece together the whole cloth of his aspira tions and strangely The Girl didn't find a place in the fabric! He wanted a still more classic dam sel to complete the picture. ,-.o m The Dreamer uneasily sought re-' traction of his thought hut the Dream bud grown too tall on its mushroom stalk and he could not regain the balance necessary to make it substan tial. So he fretted and fumed and in tho end, the Dream stuff was discard ed and rudderless and with furled sails, the ambition of the First Dream, er drifted in the shallow waters and was driven by the storm upon' th? rocks. The second Dreamer was more en ergetic. Wfhen his fancy, too, had compassed the $25,000 mark, he be came highly animated and he sought the marts where beatering laid treas ure open to the wary and thrifty. Behold, the years passed and he waxed rich with the world's'wealth and the money bags came to contain many times the stake dreamed of in the beginning. Motors, iich wines, great munie and the round of gayety was somehow no frame to The Girl's pretty face sr.ti another replaced her. With time came satiety of luxury to the Second Dreamer and he wear ily prated of the worthlessness of dreams and the bitterness of life. And perchance he denied that Romance Jived and Ile lost belief But the Third Dreamer despaired early of winning The Girl, nd when Dreams he sought to build could not furnish forth material for their own growth^ he yielded for the nonce and worked. While Dreams of wealth and favor were lacking still in the heart of the man was the unquenchable flame of bia love. Soon came the time when prosperity came sparingly, and cour age aroused the Third" Dreamer told his love to the Girl. The First Dream, er was disqualified by bis worthless ness, thc Second Dreamer was inac cessible and maybe the favor of The Girl was for tbe Third Dreamer, ?ny-j way. So they wern married. Since then the Third Dreamer be lieves in Romance and thinks the trial to its hiding place is not exhausted and at the foot of the rainbow he be lieves is the pot of gold. But not now himself ls the seeker, but his Dreams have cast a Son. fdr the part, and* he Dreams and DrearriB as he rests in the quietude of his life of the day when the Boy will be mounted for the crusade for Beauty and Wealth tand high Elation. , . Preachers sometime seem to for get that they are not paid to tell e. fellow not to take a drink, but to tell him how to avoid the consequenc es after he takes it, said Uncle Esra. ' Following up this idea of profes sional gutta percba, reminds of Josh Winters, about the peartest preacher of the Hil? country. The Reverend Josh was always equal to the occas ion and v/as not foolish enough to put ail his corn In the same crib. * Once it happened that a parishioner of the preacher became ill nigh unto death and he sent for Josh to pray for him. Winters was there shortly, by the bedside. He prayed long and fervent ly. Then: "Bill " said he. "I have allua found that it helps a mighty lot for the sick man to jlne in and do a little suppl* catbV on his own hook. Supposin' ye jest, ?twiat over thar and offer up a lettie prar of yer own." Bill failed to respond to this sug gestion and after a while, Reverend Josh said: "Now Bill. If it beB ss now that ar 1B a misery you be sufferin' from and the Prsr loa't seem *.> reach it, I have rr.ro? of the best kinder llnnymint here-put by Mister John Y. Cure mall, of St. Louey, Mlxzouvy-at 50 cents er bottle." Josh was a realist ot the most ad vanced type, by the way. Once he was preaching od the tree climbing stunt ot Zacchtas, as the Lord waa passing,, aa described in the Scriptures. " "Brethren and alBlere,* said ne, "Zacchiaa waa a little fellow. He was ?hont a site with oJe Billings..'. V?? "Stand np back thar, Joe." CRITICISES MB. POMTHlCjK - ly Mr. I/O max. Former Member, of the Legislature Alleges Hot Air.
