Responsibility Upon Us All On tho Knurl li of July a young working man of (his ?-?ty while craz ed from Hi? use of cocaine, attempted to lake his life. Yesterday the poor fellow was sent to the State hospital for Hie insane. A few days ago a young man of hean)ifni physical stature, fell au easy prey to disease ami some declar ed that Intemperance hud undermined hi- constitution. Sonic months ago the son of olin of the heat families of this county led in the elly prison. Died with none iheside him lo hohl his hand us he stepped into Hit? ?ey waters of the river of dent h. Look around and sec the next whom Death has marked, whom he is luring with tirug ami drink. Men of Anderson, this is a moral community, om- of tin* liest in the whole country, hut something must he done to stop the sale of this kind of li?|Uor that kills. The cocaine habit ls one of the most insidious pieces of deviltry ever tie vised.. This drug is more rapid In its hellish work than is the colored anti flavored poison which is called whiskey. The ruin of any young man ls a responsibility upon the whole com munity us well us upon the men who drug him. Treat Your Cotton Right We would like to tall upon Hit; far mers of Anderson county to observe the utmost cure in handling their cot ton this fall. If it is ginned cleanly and pucked properly it might bring a premium In the market. Too much advantage has heirn taken of the farmer in the past. He has been made to suiter too much loss on ac count of the tare on cotton. Hut if tlie farmers will agree not to pay the ginncrs until their cotton ls handled In a manner conforming to standards, there will be protection for the farmers. We have iieard of tirelessness at gins in the weighing Df cotton. The farmer should be pro tected in tills also. The glnner should he liable for any errors in weight. The county union meets Tuesday and we throw out the hluts so that the union may take some action be fore the seneon is actually upon us. It ls notorious that cotton has been ^VvjPiRat .Sloven^,. Uapdled of ail the agricultural products in the United States. The farmers often leave lt exposed to bo damaged hy rain and infiltrated by mud. Even when offer ed for shipment, it Is sometimes In this condition. All too I roquent ly it ls too loosely baled and inadequately marked. It has been said that upon receipt at foreign ports hales of cotton look moro like rag hags. For many years the -railroads have sought to huve the cotton shippers exercise greater cure, but the railways in this coun try have no BUCII autocratic power ns the railroads have In Germany, where no shipment ls accepted unless it is packet! in accordance with the rigid specifications. Govt rnmont ?'X perts have estimated that of the cot ton crop of the United States there is botween thc gin und the spinner u wastage and tlumugea mounting to $50,000,000 per annum. Tlie Japanese several years ago ruled thut they would not accent coo lon that was not clean, securely pack od and plainly marked. The possi bility of losing the custom of a na tion make a difference. The trans Atluntic lines that In recent years have boen mulcted in heavy damages because of the poor condition in which the cotton has been delivered to foreign consignees have taken ac tion thut will enforce thc efforts of the railways. From September 1, 1012 to March 31, 1913 on the average one bale of cotton out of every six offered ut tim South Atlantic and Gulf ports was condemned; one bale out of every ten was Improperly marked. Be ginning July 1, 1913, their require ments were more rigid; higher char ges were exacted for cotton loseiy batcd. The railways in the cotton growing regions have been redoubling their efforts with" cotton compressors, cot ton ginncrs and shippers. When those concerned in cotton growing and shipping find that shiftlessness reacts upon their pocketbooks, it is probable that a better order of things will come about. Not only the money, but the good will of the foreign consumer 13 worth while, especially in these HmeB when he ls endeavoring to stimulute the growth of cotton in other countries than tho United States. Anderson to Atlanta We have heard the suggestion ad vanced that if the Interurban should build from Anderson to Atlanta, it would holp Atlanta more than it would Anderson. It moy be true that Atlanta would feel a great deal of benefit from having this new road, but Anderson would, of course, be powerfully stimulated by having tho line pass through instead of merely a portion of the system terminating here. As evidence of this fact, wo repro duce herewith an editorial from tho Fort Smith, Ark., Record, giving tho experience of another small city which was Joined on to a larger one by a trolley system: "That Interurban lines build up the smaller towns affected, as woll as help the terminal cities is shown by the following letter from O. S. Shan non. secretary of the Commercial Club ot Franklin. Tenn., a town that had the blind staggers three years ago over the proposal to unite lt with Nashville by trolley, removes all doubts: "For three years succeeding the completion of the interurban. Frank lin merchants have donc a larger bus iness than in any other three years in the history of the town, each year showing an incense over the pre ceding year. "While this nc doubt has been thc case in all other town over the coun try, ?lue to general prosperity. Frank lin notwithstanding her interurban connection with Nashville, has gone right along enjoying an increased business from year to yenr. Just as other towns in the state have done. Real esta'" values have advanced steadily, ?j have also the rents,, and they are still going up. "There Is not a vacant residence or business house in Franklin and while this has been true for a number of years, still, it is also true that a large number of houses have been built dur ing these soveral years, and yet the demand for houses has not been sup plied. "Business house that now rent for $500 a year rented a few years ago for $300, and residence property has advanced in the same proportions. "To take the interurban away from us now would be to set us back at least ten years. Those knockers who predicted that grass would grow in the streets of Franklin when the in terurban was built have been sorely disappointed.

And when thc anthracnose doe?, appear, after they had been warned against certain seed, they ev en then do not accept the germ the ory of the disease. However, there are wonderful signs of progress of public sentiment in matters reja^^^^ajfl^e^h protection,. Swatting the fly ls a slogan which has been looked upon without proper seriousness. It ls the movement which will help the most to keep down the spread of disease. Ignorant persons scoff at science, but whenever anything befalls such a person, he is grateful to thc skillful physician or surgeon that saves his life by applying the principles of science. And It is tho same wise men who tell us that the fly and the mos quito and the rat are th? greatest dlsearc carriers. Wo are to teach tho ch Haren to swat the fly. Would tt-nt we could also teach the grown persons to pre vent thc spread of the flies by keep ing stable; and other breeding places clean, ii there were no filth pfVs, there would be no flies. One of the ni!:??t ridiculous things bi Anderson is a lot of garbage cans sitting around ?n the sidewalk-with gapiug mouths, attracting flies. Th?? cans should] bo painted, for they are indeed unsightly and they should have lids to keep the files out. , From the garbage cans the flies sail away-wo know not whither, y-o sea The greatest construction-work in Anderson now ls . putting the 'remod elled Cox mill on Its feet. This will give employment to many. Success to Manager ISob Ligon. NO SYMPATHY THERE. Salt Lake City Times. After God had finished the rattle snake, the toad and the vampire, He had some awful "substance" left with which he made a "knocker." 1 A knocker ls a two legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water-sogged brain, and a combination backbono made of Jelly and glue. Where oth er people have their hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When the knocker comes down the street I honest men turn- their backs, the an gels weep tears in heaven and the dev il shuts the gates of hell to keep hun out. No man has the right to knock as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body In, or a rope to,hang his carcass with. Ju das Iscariot was a gent loman com pared to a knocker for after betray ing his Master he had enough char acter to hang himself and a knocker has not. WHERE TUE MONEY -.?OEB?. . Greenwood Index. When you aro thinking about ex travagance in a general, hazy sort of way just down the fact that we, the people of the United States and not editorially speaking, spend twenty five million dollars a year for chew ing gum. Some sum for gum, eh? And then we spend eight million dol lars for cigarettes and ninety million dollars each year for candy. In the language of the street, that's going some. Whiskey? Oh, yes. Seventy millions gallons- of lt. Price varies with quality. THE COMING PRIMARY. There are only two weeks more be fore the club rolls will be closed.
