It Is d'.nleult.to be always true to] ourselves, to be always what we wlBh to be, what we feel we ought to be. Aa long as we feel that, as long as we do not surrender the 'deal of our life, all la right. Our aspirations repre sent the true nature of our soul more ! than our every day life. Max. Muller.

NEW JOH PRINTING BOOMS. fl: ' With pardonable pride, we trust, we wish to speak of the splendid new quarters of The Intelligencer Job printing plant. This department has been conducted in the upstairs of the buidding occupied by the newspaper, but on account of the great growth of this department more commodious quarters were needed. The new Wat son-Vandiver building, which is about completed, furnished the means of getting more room, and the entire store next door to the newspaper of fice han been leased, and is now occu pied by our Job printing department. The past week has been a busy one for this department moving and get ting to rights. This bas been almost completed and now we take pleasure in annouhcing that we are better pre pared to take care of the wants of the public along this line than ever be fore. The ground floor of the building has been given over to the offices, com posing room and presses. These are carefully placed with a view to secur ing the greatest efficiency, with the least "lost motion." Bach Job press ls equipped with new individual mot ors capable of great range of speed. The secolnd floor Is equipped for stock room, ruling and bindery department. Here the finishing touches are given each Job of printing, and the delivery is made from this floor. The Job printing department of Tho Intelligencer ls as well equipped as any in upper Carolina, and In charge of as competent a force of workmen, all experts and skilled in their several departments. Manager T. K. Roper ls too well known to our readers to re quire an Introduction. Beginning a few years ago he organized and built up the Roper Printing company, which became known for the high class of work turned out. The same pains taking care is followed still by Mr. Roper and every member of the force. Those engaged in the Job depart ment of Tho Intelligencer are: Mana ger T. K. Roper, A. A. Kessler, L. D., Thomas, J. P Hamil, Henry Pickard, Arthur Haynie, C. B. Fant; Louie Font and Rolly Hopkins. The latter is per haps better known than any of the members, for the reason that he comes in contact with the public as delivery boy, and running errands. No more faithful worker exists than Rolly and he cannot help it if his hair is carmine. The public ls cordially invited to como In and see this department or any other of our plant. It will be in teresting to those who are not famil iar with. printing plants. A RESPECTFUL HEARING. Tomorrow the candidates for stato offices will speak at Andereon This w.ill be a most interesting meeting, nnd should be attended by a large number of the voters of the county. The Issues, if such they can be called, are proving most Interesting to the audiences, in other counties They should be none the less so to an An derson county audience. Who shall be state officials is of as great importance as who shall be United States senator. In fact, there are those who state, and may be they are right, that who shall be governor la more Important just now than who shall be senator. Unfortunately the state is divided Into conflicting camps, and there is acute feeling over the questions at IsBue. The Intelligencer deplores this bitter factionalism, and hopes-that the day will soon come When lt will no longer. be tolerated. But lt does exist, and In some coun ties feeling runs high. Fortunately for Anderson county, her voters are remaining cool, and refuse to get wrought up over. the political situa? tion. Their behavior at the senatorial speaking waa very orderly, and there was nothing to criticise In the way any candidate was received. Let us hope the same can be said after Mon day's meeting. . The choice ot a governor is most Important. The man who la to have charge of the Chief Executive's office, should be a man who. stands for law and urde?', and opposes the rampant violations ot law becoming BO pre? valent In 8onth Carolina, He.eho?ld not favor the wholesale liberation of criminals through the use of the par doning power.

' This few months old Bloaso baby ls getting the, severest spanking ho has ever had.-Un lor Tlm'eB. . **.: Richest Countr Editorial, Seward The bluegrass aspect of affairs la the United States, which has been so conspicuous and so ill-founded, has been based, cm a microscopic exami nation o? particular material condi tions rather than on a long range,] telescopic view pf the situation, lt j lacked perspective. It didn't even have the advantage of middle dis-j lancement. A fJv. would have a very erroneous idea of' the lay of the land if it were peering down into a sandpit. Rut an intelligent man in a balloon with a| good field glass could form an opin ion worth hearing. Recent pessimism has been the re sult of observations of the fly va riety, and if real corroboration of this wereV needed, it could be found in a world-wide comparison of the na tional progress in the accumulation of wealth 'during the last hundred years, together with enforced infer ences as to the possibilities of the marvelous plant for production of wealth and prosperity found In Amer ica and the American people. In this instance it ir of value to go away from home and get the testi mony of the man In a balloon who has followed our country's career and a score of years, will be lost sight of. What this means may be Inferred when It is pointed out that thc accu mulations of the American people are greater than those of any other nation; that the wealth of the coun try is growing at the rate of about $7,000,000,000 a year, in season . and out, over a series of years, irrespec tive of bad times, so-called, and per riods of expansion. No other nation has such a record as to gross wealth, and with existing conditions none other Is likely in the course of the present century to rival lt. Within one hundred years the wealth of the United States has grown from about $1,750.000 to nearly $150,000,000.000, our Income?, from half a billion to S3r.,GO0.00O.O00. and the population . from 8,000,000 to REASSURING NEWS SENT FROM JAPAN ?Japanese Want Peace in Orient, Only Fulfilling Treaty Obli gations (By Associated Press.) New York. August 15.-('abie dis patches from Tokio to the East and West NewB Bureau, a Japanese news agency, read: .A high official of tho foreign office I says: . "Japan has received no note what ever from the American government in connection with the present crisis. \ Even in case a necessity arises arises ?for Japan to take upon herself the [ duty of discharging her treaty obliga tions to Great Britain. Japan sees no j need of any explanation for such on action,.for she s?mil act. with a clear I conscience in conformity to Justice. - We are confident'the United States I understands full well this position of Japan and. consequently, we cannot think for a cornent that our good I neighbor, America, shall be swayed by any uneasiness by the attitude of Ja pan." Count Okumo, Japan's premier, de clared: "Japan, if forced to join the Euro pean conflict, will do so with the sin gle purpose of fulfilling her treaty obligation to her ally, and of uphold ing the cause of Justice. Her object is thc maintenance of peace In the Ori |ent. . O'* "Japan's proximity to China breeds absurd rumors but I declare that ja pan acts with a clear conscience, in conformity to justice and in perfect accord with her ally. Japan has no I territorial ambition but hopes to stand as the protector of peace in the Ori ent. . * ;, .. "This frank declaration of Japan will surely be welcomed by China with appreciation and thanks " CANAL NOW OPEN FOR COMMERCE First Boat Through Made Re cord Tune.

Henceforth ships ?may pass tc and fro through the great waterway which establishes a new ocean high way for trade. Th0 8 team ship A neon, owned by thc United States war department, i witto many notable people on board toda) made the official passage which sig nalized the canal's opening. She tefl Cristobal at. 7 o'clock thia moraine and reached Balboa ea the Pacific ond at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The An con will remain at the Bal boa docks for some time, discharging her cargo, thia being the first com mercial voyag? made through . th? canal. The canal will be used tomorrow for the training of four cargo shlpi and a yacht, \ . . "..? ? ' The Ancon'8 trip was the fastest yet made by a largs ocean steamer.

Goethals builder of the canal , and governor o the zone, watched the -operation! closely spd was ple^aod at the -1m proved handling of thb locks. y in the World Evening News. about 98.000,000. Any ono may work out the extraordinary percentage of increase here indicated. Like statistics for Great Britain show a growth of wealth from $12, 500,000,000 to $8.r>,000,00O,000 and of income from $l,ri00,000,00o to $12, 000.000,000. In France the figures rthow a gain ir. vealth from $10,000, O0O.000 to 150,000,000,000, and of in come from $1.250,000,000 to $6,000. O00.000. One hundred years ago Germany's wealth-Germany then consisted of a lot of little staten and principalities knows how to estimate its signifi cance.. The editor of the London Stat ist has gone over the world statistics of wealth for the past hundred years, and points out for the benefit of f luise who sec only depression or re strained prosperity, that these United; State? have outrun the world and are still busy. That there can be any holding back of such unrivaled potentiality for progress In thc production of wealth as lt found here, especially in com parison with other countries and peo ples", he says, ia unthinkable. What may have proved a temporary set back is but an incident, an excep tional variation of a ruie which, when taken in connection with a decade or -was probably less than that of France, but today lt ls placed at nearly $80X100,000,000. with an . In come of $10,000.000,000. Thus, as a new country, by compar ison, the United States bas an an nual Income reported to be greater than that of Great Britain, Germany and France, combined, with an accu mulated wealth far in excess of any other land. Given the personal equa tion, tho progressiveness of the Amer lchan charter, the enterprise and dominating quality, It would hardly seem that any moderate downward dip In the curve of national progress as to production and prosperity could J call for more than cursory comment. :: Reunions:: Mitchell Reunion.

It ls pretty well demonstrated that alfalfa will grow and afford a largo yield of good forage wherever the fol lowing conditions exist: 1.

A soil naturally containing one per cent or more of calcium carbon j ate, or on which three or four tonB or ! ground limestone is applied every four [or five years. 3.
