The south just at this time needs a mau such as Mr. Unk?- to take charge of tho selling of our southern mail? textiles ami fu?irles. Ile has tho iinans and the ability to organize a for?? of salesmen that would ?uuso southern textile to supplant Orman and English in South American slates. Tho United Stall's, thanks to Mr. Wilson ami Secretary llryan, ls lu very friendly relations now with South American states, and our man ufactured products should easily lind a reception there which would estab lish our trade for all time. It docs seem that the south could grow and manufacture and ?hip cot ton cheaper than lt could he done through Europe us a middle man. One huudicap has buen the lack of mer chant marine. Why could not a man like Mr. Duke organize a company and lease or purchase merchant ves sels now lying idle in thc ports of other countries-and some flying for eign Hugs are lying idle in the ports of the United States dodging the hos tile warships riding all the seas of the world? ThlR is a big undertaking but will make the south rich. Independent and powerful, and the mun who heads the proposition will become the greatest man in American commerce. Mr. Duke has turned loose a lot of money in the south that li? has gath ered from the four corners of the earth, whither he has carried Ameri can made cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco. No doubt he could be interested in this proposition, for it is.no philanthropy, but a gigantic commercial enterprise, such as he likes to undertake. There may be others who could put the proposition through, but wo mention Mr. Duke be cause he hus the means, he has thc vision, and hu ls yet young and vig orous. Another reason we suggest Mr. Duke as tho proper man to undertake this is because be has already suc ceeded so brilliantly in pushing his own goods In China. About five years ago. when the Hexer uprising in ci-'nu had been pul down ami it had become possible for Americans to go into China, Mr. Duke put a force of salesmen to work thero and they, through our moderun bus iness methods, have caused Ameri can made goods to have a tremendous vogue In Cathay. The salesmen of th? American Tobacco company have probably learned more of Chinese commerce, customs and conditions than all the missionaries who have been going there for 50 years. We all know the breezy, winning ways of tho "drummer." It would be so In South America if tho textile manufacturers of the .'.outh should engage some man of tho sam? business capacity and militant spirit to organize an ageney force to invade South America and put Ameri can fabrics on the counters instead of the "mads, in Gurmuny" kind. HE WAS THE ADVIKF.lt OF KINGS. \ -* Tho Acree fighting along tho fron tier ol France 'rocalla the sorvices of a distinguished'-son of this state to France in the tfranco-Prusslan war. lt was at Sedan, on the river Meuse, on the border erfl Luxembourg, that Napoleon Ul surrendered his whole army September 2. 1870. It was there thai Dr. J. Marlon Sims, the renownedv American sur geon, was able to do such a great work for humanity through thc ambulance corps which he bad organized. Last year was the centennial anniversary of the birth of Dr.' Sims. ThiUegislature appropriated $5.000 to rcajr^ a monu ment to his memory. There were many volunteer contributions, among them being $30 from the Anderson Medical Society. V ho was Marion Sims? He Ja thc mai: of this'country w^o more than any other has brought relief to ..suf fering womanr. and every molecule' of granite in that monument will repre sent a tear of relief and happiness from one of thc thousands of suffer ing women Whose lives have been made brighter because of thc genius of J. Marlon Sims. He is a native of Lancaster, thc the county .which gave birth to An drew Jackson, and was born the yeat of Jackson's great triumph ovei Packenham in the battle of Nea' Or leans. Dr. Sims was more or less of a fail ure as ?i young man in Lancaster J count y ami tins should offer encour agement to young physician.- of today. I Later lu: weill to Monlgoiuery, Ala., where In- startled tin world with the during of his surgery ami tin* suc cess nf his operations Ile li rsi at tracted II tent ion will' lils operations for strabismus, or squinting of thu eye.-?, lie was also successful in sub stituting -silver fur silk sutures in ? ases of veslco-vnglnal list ula. His results were received with incredulity by thu profession. At the ug? ol 4n he removed to New York ami urged tho building of a hos pital for treating woman's diseases. A Journey to Ku rope brought him re cognition denied him in this country and hu established a lucrative prac tice in London and in Paris, ile or ganized an ambulance corps which did great service after the bailie of I Sedan. Ile was given mel?is of honor and decorations by thu kings of several Kurupcnn countries. He was thc lirst American member of several learned societies in Kurope and America and was president of the American Medi cal Society In lH7i'>. Ile was the au thor of u number of volumes, one be ing un authority on female surgery. After Sedan he was enabled to ?tart his woman's hospital In New York and we are told that so many persons Hocked to sue his operations that restrictions were imposed which he considered officious and drastic and he returned to France. That ac counts, in purl, for u recent declara tion by the New York Sun that Hr. Sims seems to ho honored abroad more than in his native land. Tho German government's monthly medical periodical recently printed a photograph of Hr. Sims and a de scription of his life work. This great journal nays: "America is entiled to honor In the history of operative gynec logy. Tho names of McDowell, Nott. Battey, Emmott, Hozemau, Ldehohls and Kelly will be known for all time, hut none shines with such lustre aa tho name of Mar lon Sims." Tho achievements of its citizens uro the greatest assets and the greatest heritages of u country. The courage and genius of Marlon Sims-especially In view of his sud entry Into the pro feslHon-are such aa were exhibited hy only such men as Stonewall Jack son and other such stalwart und he roic figures in our country's history. His greatness deserves commemora tion. In his memory there is a life size stattutc in front of the city li brary in New York city. Those whose happy privilege lt was to know tills grand man personally were not surprised that he rapidly be came thc valued adviser of the nobil ity. In him were discerned all those eiemeutti of character which ure the attributes of true nobility; simplicity ahnot-t childlike, sympathy almost feminine; courtesy without ost en ta lon; tho charming mininer, the kind ling eye, the cord ?ul handgra?p be Toko a great soul, as did his deftness uctoken thc groat surgeon. As one who relieved pain, as one who made such bold and wonderful Incursions Into the science of the mystery of the human body In those prc-antt.-eptlc and, practically, pre ancsthesla days, Dr. Sims ls perhaps South Carolina's greatest citizen and deserves a niche In thc national hall of fame In Washington. --o ? -o ANDFHSON COLLEGE. Thc special urt advertising section of Tho Intelligencer today presents concisely and forcibly the pride ot this city-Anderson College. The views are now and arc the most repre sentative that have been published. The strong, monly, intelligent faco of Dr. Jus. P. Kinard, tho now president, graces thc front page. Hr. Kinard ls already greatly lpvea in Anderson, though a resident only a few weeks. He Is a mnn whose per sonality grows upon people. He ls not too assertive, and docs not force him. self upon the public. But he is a man of strong character, he wears well, and his Influence grows upon a com munity; and as a teacher and a col lege head he has no superior In. the south. He is splendidly titted for thc task of creating tho great future of this college and he will put Anderson College in the forefront in the south. Associated with - him s ls another toucher of ability, reputation and character whose personality ls a dis tinct asset to tho college-Prof. Faithfull. His services to the college last year were of great valuo, not only In the class room, where he does splendid work, but also In the execu , tlve offices Where he was of great ns f slstance to Dr. Vines. S ' Dr. Vines accepted the presidency > Only upon condition that he be re lieved as soon a? the college, found a * man of tho type of Dr. Kinard to lead the institution into tho fulfill.

ANDERSON FOLKS ARE PLANNJGJINE TRIP MANY WILL GO TO CITY OF WASHINGTON AN ANNUAL OUTING '.'his Section Will Furnish Large Number of People For Trip To Capital of Nation Probably mon' Anderson people will leave tomorrow for Washington than lin vu ever gone from Hits eity io tau capitol at one tittie buf?n?. Yesterday dozens of them wert* making their plans for going nu thu expedition atm additional numbers will probably ap pear this morning People from the city and peuple from thc country aro expecting to go on thu jaunt. The mountain excursion is another great event for the people of this city and section und it will attract almost ns many passengers as tho trip to Washington. In 1880. 34 yours ugo. the idea of au annual mountain excursion was conceived by Col S. II. I'ickons, gen-j oral passenger agent of the South Carolina railroad. Since that timo tho! mountain excursion, second Wedncs-I ?lay in August, has become! a thing of necessity and many persons each year make this their time to travel. Thc trips offered combine pleasure, com fort and rest with ample time and very reasonable rates. .Much attention ls paid to that por tion of the announcement which rend "$12 round trip to Washington." So great is the travel io the national capital that the Southern Hallway op erates ?i special train on the after j/ioon of August 12, arriving in Was1 ington the next morning. The Sea board Air Line and thc Atlantic Coast Hine offer the same rate, and wilt have an extra equipment to accommo date the crowds. Many of the passengers to Wash ington do not make that city their final destination, but merely make their Journey to other points fall on tills day so that they may benefit by the cheap rates. I nder this rate one can make the round trip to Xew York, for $20. about flo less than lt can be made at regular rates. Some go to Atlantic City, to Niagara Falls and to various'otlier points, thus getting very low rates to Norfolk, Richmond and other points aro offered. To the mountains flock hundreds of people on these excursions each Au gust, and already inquiries have been made that would indicate a large crowd this year. The Southern Rail way will operate u special mountain train from Charleston, running cu tho sumo schedule as hist year. ACT IVAS LEU AL.

(By Associated Press) Seattle, Wash., Aug. 10.-Suffrug ! isis applauded today when Mayor I Hiram C. Gill, in testifying before the Federal Industrial Relations Commis sion, made his initial declaration in favor of woman suffrage. Votes or women, the mayor had testified a few min ii let- previously, did much to his recall three years ago. He also added that at one time he was opposed to suffrage. < The mayor said be was favorable to women suffrage now and declared the votes of women had resulted in cleansing politics here. The mayor insisted that the labor problems of the northwest were dif ferent from those of the east. "Back East you have capitalists who can't recognize that there is any one except themselves and laboring men who aro Ignorant," he declared.

"o j <> ? coooooooooooo There has been much speculation as to the nature of the .tall steeple like blt of scaffolding Just where the Blue Ridge passenger station is. being built. Some are under the impression that it is the frame work ot the "tooth | pick" skyscraper of which we have heard a lot. Others thing that it is a j landing stage for airships. The real answer is that it ls the wireless tower j for war dispatches. Anybody can tell that it is a v.irelcBB station by looking at the.wireH. Some people think they have quite a Joke on the reporter of The Intelli gencer who attended the reunion at Carswell Institute. It was stated in t-he report that the day was orderly, etc. Since that time it baa been ?tat ed that several arresta were made. The truth of the matter is that the j fussing, whatever lt'was, started after the newspaper, man left, and was not around the speaking stand but in the outskirts of the crowd. Anderson is some hustler. Some time ego work on the Blue Ridge sta tion was harried by electric light;, the Bell .Telephone exchange was finished by electric light; and now the ham mers are ringing at night on the big store being built on South Main street by the Kreia people for one ot the fin est **Five and Ten Cent'-' stores in the south.
