Every man in Anderson is able to nive something lo the college. I.< t's make a free will offering this sum mer. Let's make sonic expression of love for this splendid institution. We should nil feel like giving some thing merely for the reason that we ure not asked for it. Hut hasn't Anderson College every thing she needs? Not by a whole lot. The Institution is there und it may be come self supporting. Uut - There are many poor ?tris in this city und in this county who need un education, and the contributions of Christian men and women would pro vide scholarships for them. What ls money needed for? Head thia letter und see: -. S. C. July 17, 19K?. Dr. John F. Vines, D. I)., President. Anderson College, Anderson, S. C. ' Dear Sir: I nm one of thc girls that worked In the dining room at Anderson Col lege last year. If I can pet work again? I can. go back to school. Am willing to help the matron or to work in the dining room. Unless I get work, I cannot attend school. I am anxiously walling for the reply and am trusting it will bc one that will assure me of another term at An derson College. Very respectfully. This is one of a score of letters re ceived from girls wishing to get an education. And they are being re ceived this year. What will you do about it, men of Anderson? This is a business proposition and it ls more -it 1B a humanitarian opportunity. Shall these girls' minds bo and remain unopened buds, or will they be per mitted to bloom In full blow, in beauty and In perfume'rafe That thing wliich we have found most to be admired at Anderson Col lege is the democratic spirit, thc es prit de corps of the student body. The girls who are aiding themselves to get an education by assisting the house keeper are among the happiest and most popular and merit 1B the Qualifi cation ranked above all others at An derson College. Help Borne poor girl to get on edu cation. MUZZLE THE BOG ?" In these sultry days, known ns the dey? pari, there is generally supposed to bc more of a tendency to hydro phobia than nt other times ot the yea*.'V 101.1 Recently we called attention of thc people of Anderson that Only 1T>0 dogs In Anderson have any legal right to life, because they are the only ones on which taxes have been paid. All other dogs in the City should be killed, if their owners do not think rtnough ojr dhvm to. pay the taxes on theuv The lav.- says in part': "Section 62. Evory owner or keeper nt a dog shapp pay an annual tax of $1 for each dog kept in the city 'of Anderson, which tux shall be paid at the same time and placo that other taxes are paid each year; and a re turn thereof shall be made at the same time and place that other prop erty ls returned for taxation. The owner or keeper shall promptly re port and pay the tax on any dog brunght into'the olty after the time for making returns or paying the tax." etc. The hands 'of the city government should he upheld by every good citi zen. The law pr?vidos: "Seellon CG. Tho city council shall have the right to prohibit dogs from running at large on tho public streets whenevor the public welfare and safety, may In its Judgment, de mand it or it may require all dogs running nt large to be muzzled, or may make any other regulations re garding the same. - Notice of any such requirements shall bo published in a newspaper in. said city, and 'any per son owning or controlling any. dos? who falls or refuses to comply, there with shall be deemed guilty of a.mis demeanor, and on conviction thereof, be fined not moro than one hundred dollars, or Imprisoned not exceeding thirty days, in tho discretion of .thc mayor; and any dog found'in viola-' tion ot such requirements may be killed by any policeman."

If wc say nico things in our paper, we seldom hear from them, but if we make a mistake, or it some one fails to seo what they think we ought to see, the paper is criticised." j That's too sadly true. Its an old saw "that the doctor burles his mis takes, but tho newspaper man can't, hide bis." Did it ever occur to you, how few mistakes creep into tho news papers. "In yesterday's issue of The Dally Intelligencer, there were nearly 200 separate articles and items. IB there a merchant in Anderson who can can go oft day after day, wrap ping up 200 separate articles without making some mistakes? Newspaper workers are a proud race of people. They love their work. They ure jealous of its good repute. And whenever you hear a sore head or a failure, or a cheap job hunter, knocking newspaper, don't believe what he says. He might be the big gest and meanest liar In creation. The best .way 1B to read the newspaper rind see %br.-y?>ur?el?...what it is. Thelman who can't usc newspapers for \ his selfish ends abuses them. THE SILK .MILLS. With the possible exception of China, for which no complete statistics aro available, the United States ls now the largest Bilk manufacturing country in tho world. This position has been taken from and maintalaed against France since 1905. Thc development of the silk manu facturing, industry of thc United States during tho last few years ls one of the'most interesting features of tho .country's progress. The phenomenal growth is shown by tho fact that, sjnea the civil war the increase in the gross value 'of ouch products is meas ured by tho difference between slight ly less tbun $4,000,000 and nearly $200.000,000. While cotton is thc native staple of this country yet It may be surprising to Bomo to know, the cotton manufac turing industry is only six times as large as the Bilk manufactures. Now Jersey bas some GGG silk mills o? 07 per cent ot the. total In the United Stiles. : ' '.' ' Some of our waste bills back on tho river that may not produce even Ber muda grass might bc given over to producing mulberries and Bilk worme. The original Huguenot settlers of this section produced Bilk here easily. WEATHER SIGNS. Some of the Symptoms of Approach ing Rain. Many people are sufficiently familiar with weather lore to know some of th? signs that herald rata, says Tid Bits. The repeated performance of its-toilet by thc domestic cat,, the - apparent nearness .of distant objects, unusual activity on the part of the snails in the garden-sucji- Indications are familiar to most people. But there are other signs more easi ly to bo noted "by home-keeping town dwellers. Here are a few, as cata logued by a weather prophet. .i'.'If^ on picking up your newspaper In the morning, it displays a tendency to '^irv?lmost ?ft'Uts own account," a downpour rain not far off. .Rain ja o|so pronged when the contents of -the-?alt cellar?are "tn a moist and clogged condition. At Such times "M^'hoot :lace/U>jovo,p moro than or dinary tendency to snap and your hid ?loves will havo a cold clammy feeling nd be difficult tn pull on. , 'Even the walking stick or umbrella will act tho part of a barometer. Tho handles before rain will reveal a slight deposit of moisture and bc . sticky to the touch. In/this way .the question whether lt,is tho wiser]to take the walking stick or umbrella cu leaving home will be settled for the observant person by on lnsp action of tho article itself. / SERVIA ?EJEVO/ \?S ungary and Servia ind Serv?a, with surrounding countries, i principal war action centers. Vienna ls thc capital of Serv'.-u AN ?l!TO OX TWO WHEELS Thc (?yrdscopc ls Apulied to Motor ("?r. (From the Literary Digest.) An automobile, standard size, run ning on two tandem wheels like a bi cycle, and kept in balance by a gyro scope, has.bsen invented by a Russian named Scliilowsky and is described by H.. Forbin In La Nature. Mr. Forbin note? that neither the much-heralded gyroscope railway of Louis Brennan nor the improvements made on lt by Schorl, the Berlin editor, have been put into use ss commercially practica ble. He haB hopes for this new modi fication, and gives in detail his reasons for them. Schilpwsky's monorail dif fers little In apeparance from its pred ecessors, his changes in the mecbain ism not being ordinarily visible.' In addition, however, he has built, on tho same principle, the motor car noted above, which would appear to be a new departure. Says Mr. Forbin: The characteristic principles of thia vehicle areas follows: 1. The-gacollne motor of the par al so operates the gyroscope, whose weight ls only one-tenth of that of the vehicle. 2. Tho energy consumed by the gyroscope ls 1 1-4 horsepower. 3. The disk turns at the rj^g 1, 200 revolutions a minute. jT w .> *x 4. The gyroscope takes up little room and requires no manual control. 5. By using flanged wheels instead of pneumatic tires, the vehicle can be used eu one of the rails of a railroad track. Such a vehicle presents great ad vantages: 1. Absolute suppression of lateral .shocks - on thc worst roads, accom panied by a notable dlmunltlon of fa tigue for the. passengers- and' of Wear for tho car and its parts. The dura bility of thc motor is Increased, and lighter materials may be used In the construction of the car. 2. The tractive effort is diminished consequently there is nn economy of energy and of fuel. With capacity for an equal load, a less powerful motor may ba 'used. . 3. The bicycle, automobile runs eas ily over tho narrowest roads.". 4. Tho gyroscopic . stabilization al lows the vehicle to take horizontal curves at high speed. We have seen the bicycle automobile run In the -environs of. London over good and hud roads alike, carrying six passengers, including the inventor and his c. lu fleur; and we admired the (ease-the animal) intelligence-with which thc heavy machine.regained.its balance, without 'tt?? ' intervention of Its driver, whenever a curve or an In-: equality of the road disturbed Its cquillbrim. _ :- j : \ ; . ' ; A COLONY OF SPIDERS. Colonel Roosevelt ITpou Busy Insect Provers of South America, j Scribner's. At our camping place we saw an extraordinary colony, of spiders, It was among some dwarf trees, standing a few yards apart from one another by tho water. When wo reached.the camping place, early in tho afternoon -tho pack train did not get in until nearly sunset, just ahead of the rain no spiders wore out They were un der tho leaves of the trees. Their - abs were ten ant less and indeed for ute most part were broken down. Bot at dusk they came out from their hid ing place?, two or three hundred ot them In all, and at once began to re pair the old and spin new webs. Each spun its own circular web, and Sat tn the middle; and each web was con nected., on several sides with other webs whllot those nearest the -trees .were hung td^thettjftj b?.spun 'TOMS so to Bp e ak, . ? Tho'result waa a, kt nd of sheet of web consisting of g?bre? of wheels in each ot which the ownei abd proprietor sat^ and there ,W?f*j half d' dozen' such Bh^^?ch ?fton?M lng fbetween two. trw^^Th^webal could hardly be'seen and the effect waa of ?coros of big, formidable-look ing spiders poised in midair, equidis tant from one another between each pair .of tress. When darkness and rain fell thor were:still opt, fixing their webs and pouncing on tho occasional insects that blundered Into" the webs. I have no question that they an? noc turnal; they certainly hide in the daytime, and it seems impossible teat they can come but daly for a few min utes at dusk. .'
