Mrs. B. Graves Boyd "Anderson's Only Exclusive Ready-to-Wear Store" Uncle Dav Size Is an American Mania. Big 1 business, big fortunes, big skyscrapers, big ships-these things have interested us. I.venturo to be lieve that thc next generation will pay le<!3 attention to the quantity of a thing, as we have been doing, and givo more attention to ita quality. In days to come we are going to judge a man not by tho size of his for tune but by his worth to his fellow men. We are not going to continue to be spoken of by Europeans, as barbarians laden with gold-* Tho American is much more than that. While it is true that he has an eye on the main chance, the finer traits of character- bave not been lost sight of in the mad rush for gain. The business of living for every, strong, clean, able-bodied man should be Ute making of a home, hi which the boya and girls, the future citizens of this great nation, will be trained In the ideals that make for noble liv ing. The groa tost peril of American life is the danger of our young people coming tb regard marriage as a trial, a pleasant .Jaunt, or a sort ot an ill-fitting garment ,v h.ch oin be put on and taken off at will. The big business of the last generation has been the accumulation of wealth, the big business of, the'-next generation will be the distribution of wealth. We have been making things, with men as a by-product; we mutt make mon, with -things as the by-product. This cannot be brought about by leg islation. The', thing needed ls per sonal character and a realization of the worth of liff. At school where children do as they please ls not different from man> homes. The average parent ls the least qualified to take In charge the education of the child. for the very reason that there ls no regime of law in many homes. Children tn such homes aie not educated-they Just grow. That is aleo the case among the primitive races. We speak of the frightful temptations to the young In big cities, and yet these har? not sent half so. many boys'and girls , to the "bad" as mothers' love" has. Look at tho Hgt of prodigals, and look also at those weaklings, and at those early graves-all filled with the victims of a mother's indulgence. The lawless home 1? ?. menace to civilization. Why then should children be en couraged early in life into thinking that they can do as they please, when no business man could ran his plant in the do-as-you-please way, nor could a government last for a day without discipline We say that a son who denies hi? parents ls an unnatural son, but he is. unnatural only in the sense of be ing uncivilized, uncultivated. The isfs Letter desert Is nature, so ia a garden, but a garden is cultivated nature- If we leave it to nature there will never be a cultivated plhnt c(r flower any where. The faults of your neighbors prob, ably look as great to you aa yours do to them.

When Qod, the Lord, will listen To evory plaintive cry, And stretch his hand o'er every land With Justice by and by. I. have seen smiling faces in the little ca. Just as often aa in the big one; and, for that matter, the one horse buggy la still capable of trans porting a good deal of happiness down the road. For what shall it profit a mac if he gain the whple world and lose his own soul? If money were everything, than, some folks would be Justified In working so hard to get more land than they need. What will be the result of this warf Ob, that's easy. Taxes, The people who are being blamed for the, war are about as numerous! as the causes which are given for the high cost of living.

SLATON OP! CURTAILII Si In Proposed Legisla* :-~en?, Precedent fo tu. .mess-"Poverty E GOV. SLATON Governor John M. SI a ton, In an In terview given out Saturday night, stales that he will not call the legis lature into extraordinary session to consider the cotton crisis, because he would not advise that course of ac tion if he were a private citizen or a practicing attorney, and he can not approve the suggestion as an official of the Stat? The Governor enters at length into the entire question of legislation de signed to belp the farmers, and says help should come from Washington '.hat the States virtually arc without power to act. The Governor's interview follows: "Relative to *he requests that are being made of me to assemble in ex traordinary session the General As sembly of Georgia, it is proper that I should make a public.statement as to my attitude. These requests come in the form of personal letters, of reso lutions indorsed and - adopted at county gatherings >y trade bodies, and by Chambers of Commerce. "Representatives in Congress of the United States have taken the position that Congress cnn do noth ing and assert that the burden of averting the impending calamity rests upon the individual States. "To this last proposition I heart ily dissent for I believe the great leg islative source of relief is Congress. If the Government does not now as sist the South when thc President and a large proportion of the Cabinet and of the chairman of the powerful com mittees of House and Senate are from the South, we may expect little beno it- by exaltation to of flee of South ern men. Sees I.vii lu Remedy. "I need not say aa Governor that I am deeply interested in the ques tion now imperiling the business Interests of the State. I recognize fully the gravity of the sltutalon, but I further know that a. bad situation could pe made worse by doing the wrong thing. "The prevailing idea so far express ed as soverign remedy is the curtail no nt of cotton production oy law. The 'armers of the South have made more cotton than the market, restricted by European wdrs, 'will absorb. The crop )t cotton may not exceed the world's need, but thc world la not in a posi ion now to take it. It is no doubt a ruth thal. the. farmer would have ?nore wisely planted had t ho devoted i greater acreage not only this year hut past years to foodstuhs for man ind 'beast. The effect of Oe war em phasizes the power of this policy In the past. ' "The request that I call an extra Weseloh of the General Assembly as sumes that the Southern farmer will repeat this -sanie policy during the ensuing year. The auggeeteion is that by law he must be saved from bia own folly. "It la a curious Uiing, that those who exalt the farmer aa tue embodi ment of character, patriotism and in i&Jligan?? should declare that the cur tailment of the crop ia essential to his welfare, but from lack of intelli gence he will not do so, and we must place a jail penalty over htm to pre vent him from raising cotton on his own land. Either this must be done or . ? prnhtlrKive tax must be placed upon h'm to insure action on his part that wlil redound to his own benefit Distress ts Predicted. "When the farmers presented their cause in Washington to the Bank ing and Currency Committee, - they objected to the forcible curtailment and declared they were not prepared ; for revoluUonary management of the farms, and that In thousands of in I stances great distress would be oc casioned by it. "I could not as a lawyer consclen .tiounly recommend the enactment of i auch laws, and dare not do so as Gov ernor. The Pr?sident of the United States has declared against suggest I ed legislation, on the ground that it would violate sound economic policy. Assuredly the Governor of a State Bhould not recommend the violation of its fundamental law. "The Attorney Generai ut this state , has advised me that the plan of cur tailment by prohibition taxation or penal statute are unconstitutional. "Tho Suggested plans challenge Ute lntelllgnee of the Southern larmer and are in Violation of the principles ol liberty, i "The struggles ot the people for SOO years have been to achieve freedom > of thought,, of contract, abd of ac i tina, aha temporary sacrifice Is pre ' ferable to this advancement of gov ernmental power which would menace , Ute freedom or every individual. "It would-be an easy stop to force each fanner to plant a certain pro , portion et his land in corn, hay and i oats, and force him to raise so many . hogs ant beef cattle, on the theorj t that it would be to his interest. Suet . acUon would mean the death blow , to Independence and the paralysis ol , wholesome Initiative. Sate Danserons Precedent. "Thia precedent prepares the wa j ', for legtslaUve control of every pri . vate business and regulation of Uu ' energies ; of overy Individual. .

South produces now agricultural pro ducts worth three hundred million dollar? more than agricultural pro ducts produced hy thu whole nation 30 years ago.

"Our Brother's Keeper." It ls a/time and an occasion when I would 'advise the utmost liberality and consideration between business men in business intercourse. The loss is a common one, and it is becoming in those who are best able to take a large share of the hardship, recogniz ing the truth now BO indelibly im pressed -that we are "our brothor's keeper." I can not determine what may be done by other Statua. Concert of ac tion under varying constitutions with different linea of thought ia difficult to be accomplished. It may be that some proper and sane plan may be suggested whereby I as Governor may be helpful '?

WORK UNDERWAY ON COURT HOUSE A quantity of material is being plac. [ed on tho court house grounds for tho work which is soon to be under way, improving the interior of the building and making a number of changes in the offices. When tho bill permitting Anderson to make these improvements went through the General' Assembly lt was stipulated that the matter would rest In the hands of the county supervisor, the clerk of court and the . sheriff, since- these gentlemen will all be ef fected by the change and will have to move their offices, in accordance with this provision of the act those gentlemen let the contract for the work to the Cox-Mitchell Lumber Company, of Belton, and the price ls (1,500. It is understood that actuat work will begin today and that thc ?changes will be made as quickly aa i possible. It la planned to consolidate the of fice rooms now occupied by the BO pervlaor and the sheriff and to build a new vault and thia portion of the building will be occupied by the clerk of court. The supervisor will movo his office upstairs into one of the Jury rooms and the sheriff will go into the quarters vacated by the clerk. These changes will make for greator efficiency tn all departmenta and will also matorialy improve the appear ance of the interior of the place. Anderson "Rats" Deny Bad Treatment The Dally Intelligencer has been appealed to by the Anderson county "rats" at Clemson College to deny cer tain rumors that have galnod circula tion In this section as to the manner In which they are treated at the col lege this year.

The result of al! this investigation and construction work is the candy equipment which from a sanitary standpoint has no equal. . In working out the idea, the term "unit" has been applied to the compartment in which the candy displays are made. These compartments are made o' solid mahogany, with im ported opaline glass bottoms, French plate mirrors and Ger man silver trimmings, with plate glass .cover so arranged as to make the case absolutely sanitary-fly, (Just and germ proof. The method of handling the reserve stock is embodied in a sanitary container placed in the rear of the candy unit, and so adjusted that original boxes of candy received direct from the factory, are placed underneath the cover and so (prickly get-at-able that candy sales are made without the touch of the human hand. Hus feature alono required three years of persistent atten tion to the finer points of candy equipment, and has the en dorsement of candy and food experts everywhere.
