Om ?BEAT COLLEGE That any educational institution ?tate, denominational or otherwise should have the courage to open Its door? witli a complete teaching corpse to receive ?he pupil Hand to dispense the benefits of educational opportunity ils almost incredible. In KO many other lines of endeavor arec uts being made und efficiency perhaps, being made to suffer, for the necessity of the days that have come upon ns. With a courage that ls beautiful. An derson college has opened her doors and will continue through the scholas tic year. There will be no shoddy work at Anderson college. There will be no diminishing of thc high standard of efficiency, but on the contrury there will he a general improvement all along the line. The love we feel for Anderson col lege io no mere sentimentality or ex pression of local patriotism, but lt is the admiration which is forced be cause of the great purpose manifested and the faltii und courage which cause the strong men back of this In stitution to offer nothing but the very best. Anderson college has been and will continue to be a revelation. So many "collegiate Institutions" have sprung up all over the country, giving a ve neer of education that it is rare to Pod a new Institution which with re markable wladomn places its standard high upon the hill of learning, and with a steadfastness more remarkable refuse? to be diverted from Its high aim In order to achieve popularity and to receive large numbers of en rolled students merely for the name of success! The true success Is that which will come to the Institution which makes no false pretences, does no slipshod work, confers no honors that are unearned. Anderson college is a success, though lt is in the em bryonic stage. Il ls a success in its purpose and in having men of cou rage to stand by the institution fi the hard ascent upon which its feet have been placed. At the head of Anderson college is a man, the man. Of all others in this State, there ls none better qualified, perhaps none as well flited for the peculiar requirements of the place as ls Dr. Jas. IV Klaard. In his expe rience, hlB wisdom, his character and his great spirit he ls the very man for the head of Anderson college. Schol arly, and yet practical, he ls a mao who In future years will tow ar among the strong educators ot the South. He has .been permitted to surround him self with ? teaching corpa second to none in equipment for great service. It la the prayer of all the lovers of christian ?ducation that thia splendid Institution may be In the years to come a hospice for those who seek the pearls of knowledge which must be sought for most diligently, and when found, will be jewels most rare to adorn the gracious womanhood of our state. KEEP CP THE PAT BOLL Some days ago we suggested that if the city contemplates any improve ments or extensions, sow is the time to contemplate the effort All over the country workmen are being thrown out of employment by the war situation. Therefore the public Im provements which can In honor be car ried through should not be allowed to lag. The payrolls must be kept up. Financial conditions have put upon certain projected works an imperative veto which must stand until prosperi ty gives the overriding vote. In much of th? relaxation In the demand for la bor (here ls not a sound, economic reason, but ls there not something that can be done to keep the payroll going along other Unes? This depression ls eure to be follow ed by the greatest era. jf prosperity In the history of the country, and those who will take heroic measures today will reap the rewards when the re ward) ag time comes. The etty ot Dallas, Texas, has shown this spirit and will undertake greater Improvements than ever to avoid the distress to laboring men which re sult from the confusion of private en terprise. THE ELECTION IN MAINE The first of the fall elections waa that in Maine. The Republican party ta treing to get some consulatlon ont of the fact that it gained considerably in strength while the Progressive party lost heavily. Yet the stubborn fact remains that the Democrats won. Oakley C. Cartis, the Democratic candidate for governor, won over Wil liam T. Hainer. Republican, although two years ago Haines defeated the Democratic incumbent'Gov. Plalsted. Another feature of the election ta Maine ls the fact that the legisla ture ls now Democratic by a large ma jority. Tbs old line Republicans are very much rosed with che Progres sives, and the Utter are coming in for mach abuse. As Maine goes, so wUl the count uy ?. ?fflft?iitil?I CUBE FOB VAGBANC?. The mayor of Anderson recently un dertook to keep Vigars out of the city. The charitable organlations al work here and the county home can take care of the poor and needy and no one will be allowed to suffer here. There are too many professional beg gars, and these will not conform themselves to the rules of regulated charities. There is a tendency in the south to permit too many vagrants, particu larly among the negro*'j. If the police make an arrest, some soft hearted man may get a trifling negro off the chalngang. The negro loafer knows how to wheedle the white man. With reference to breaking up vagrancy, the following from the Pittsburg, Pa., Dispatch may be interesting without further comment: "Saturday night's crusade by the police against the loafers and mashers wno infest the downtown streets was the most extensive that M.^S been con ducted In recent yearB and lt was pro ductive of reBults. The lodging of a large number of men and youths be hind the bars may look like drastic treatment, but there was need for a thorough clean-up and lt 1B safe to say that next Saturday evening the fa vorite occasion for this too popular pastime being the end of the week, will find fewer of these pests of so ciety parading their obnoxious pres ence. "Every large city, and many a small one as well, suffers from the nuis ance. lt was once the proud American bpast that a woman might travel from one end of the country to the other without risk of Insult, and we were wont to vaunt our superiority to for eign nations in this respect. "Whatever the reason, conditions have changed. Gangs of loafers, we" dressed and. presenting the outward aspect ot respectability, make a prac tice of standing at street corners, im pregnating. the atmosphere with to bacco juice and foul language and audibly commenting on the appear ance of passers-by. "it ls an actual ordeal for a r.; cdc it girl or woman to pass such a group of loafers, even If their attentions are restricted to Impudent stares, which ls not always the case/ The evil ls not confined to downtown, but ls to be met wp.h all the nuemorus business centers scattered about the city. It is at its worst on Saturday evening, as has been said, but the professional loungers and mashers are busy every night in the week and they are so nu merous and persistent that a syotam atlc campaign is necessary for their elimination. ' "Pittsburgh is no worse In this re gard than other large communities, but lt is going to be much better. The evil, fortunately, la one that yields readily to radical treatment" PATRIOTIC MOVE We call attention to the advertise ment of the 8ul!i7an Hardware Com pany. This enterprising house an nounces lt willingness to receive cot ton at the rate of 10 cents per pound In payment of debts or In exchange for merchandise. In the absence of any general plan tn thr aouth, or any concentrated' movement toward adopting a plap, this a.ioears to be ? patriotic move on the prj-t o? ?hi? ?c=-? gordian ta. Cotton .a bringing a better price today than it did a week ago, and this may mean that so much will be thrown upon the markets of the south thafibe price will be depraes?il, ,J'' The mercbimt who algelfles his wil lingness to receive cotton at 10 cents a pound will In all likelihood lose his profits, but he will be doing good in that he will will be starting a cir culatory movement. - ?, g ,> REPORTS DISC REDITED Kassian Reports of Victory Are Made Faa of.

To Promoiemtarketing of Cotton The Trades Extension Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, in special meeting last night, issued the following statement with re gard to the >o-called "Buy-a-Bale" an-^ "Merchants-Farmers-Ex_ change" .movementr. Whereas, cotton sold today at an average of 9c per pound on the Anderson and Soutnern, cotton markets, and whereas, this is an increase of appjoximawryiJ 1-2 to 2 cents per pound over spot prices two j weeks ag<^ aid w?mmm it is the sense and opinion of this com mitteeilhat 1 tf^afUs^&nowifct matter of only a few weeks, perhaps days, and whereas we feel that all farmers in Anderson and adjoin ing counties are entitled to all assistance .possible at the hands of the merchants and business men of this city, therefore; Be it hereby resolved that we pledge ourselves to do anything possible to sjskfc in the so-called "buy-a-bale" movement and con gratulate^oseTOf our business people who have so far assisted. We do notJb?ieve>>& wilt be necessary for any farmer to request anyon to buu, his cotton at 10c per pound henceforth, believing tii*it the demuaM for cotton has already made cotton cheaper than 10c an im possibility, but in ca.se any farmer should be in need of assistance in the sale of his cotton, we promise our very best aid and assistance in any manner possible to assist him. Ten cents cotton is now al most here.. The hour for need has all but passed, but if not, we stand ready to further do our part to push the move onward. . "With regard to the^Mercttants-Farmers" exchange movement, we dp not believe there is any pressing need for the operation of such I a plan in Anderson ?.County R?wV but we pledge ourselves to put kitoi operation such a plan as admirable as it is. to the extent of our abili- f ty, on'a basis of 10c per pound, if at any time thought advisable.
