He also thought "you can do better In Anderson" than by heine, tduo and going round with a long face, BO he says "Roost! Roost! .looBt-! !" THE PEOPLE CAN ?TOP IT Anderson has Just received some un desirable and some very desirable ad vertising on account of the raid made yesterday on the illicit liquor dealers in the city. The undesirable adver tising comes from the fact that such x condition existed in Anderson as made it necessary to employ a de lectivo agency to come here to ferret sut the violators of the liquor laws. Tho desirable part of it conies that the officers of the law, backed by a healthy public sentiment, are so de vious of stamping out this undesir able and illicit traffic In liquor. It has been known for some time hat too muon liquor wan being sold n Anderson, and an effort has boon nade to put a stop to it Young mon, who have been out at nights, have seen falling under the influence of the rollers, and they have been going lome intoxicated. Several young men have lost * good positions on account if their shortcomings along this Une, md lt ls to be cnmniMiilMt in ih? City Council that they have taken tho mat er up with so much energy and de ?rmlnatlon to stamp lt out. But, the Jity Council, no? d?tectives cannot itop this illicit sale cf liquor. The ;>coplo must stop it. They can do it. >y lending their aid to the efforts be ug made to stamp It out, and by creat ing so strong a sentiment against his violation of law that no ono will larc to attempt it. The editor of this paper was at the lorvlcoa Sunday morning at the Bap lst church. There wero present over 1,200 persons to hear that masterful sermon by Dr. White. While listening o this sermon, and noting the great lumber of influential and prominent dtizons present, we could but think low little in earnest they must be If hey do not "clean up" certain con litiods in Anderson, among them bo ng this same liquor business. Now if hose same people snd those who go o the other churches will get busy ind create a sentiment so strong that t will require much nerve to attempt he sale of liquor, then R can be stop ped entirely, and permanently. The lme has come in the civic-Ufe of the dty that this very thing must be lone. Anderson is growing by leaps ind bounds. Hundreds of men seek ng new fields are .thinking of coming tore to locate, and are investigating conditions in Anderson. Among the ad vantages that count ls the respect for aw and order among her citizens, and .he absence ot these places of vice. 3o if Anderson shall get these de sirable add Hons t-o her population she nust show a clean record, Just a lit te better than can be found anywhere dee. But. are we not without sympathy or those and Others not yet caught, or vho will probably never be caught Ye havo as much respect for them as or those who will secretly patronize hom and make possible their nefar ons work. There could be no "blind Igers" If there were no purchasers of he liquor they offer for sale. These daces could not exist In Anderson ind In the most prominent places, at hat. if some good(?) men did not patronize them. These "good" men go ree while the poor men who served hem are sent'to jail and humiliated >y being placed on trial for their vlo ations of law. The Intelligencer would make an ep ical to those who sell liquor illegally, ind to those who patronise thom, to efrain from continuance of such il egal acta, and try to find some way 4 making an honest living. There are inough honest Jobs to give every man lomethlng to do. Better for him to He die than to engage In that which will Mitha him eternally, and disgrace him Mit Mac-There should be enough civic >rlde ia 'Tay Town" to make everyone living herc t<> wish IO do better, and ruako of tliiH a clean city inside and outside. But, there an- those living here who have not this civic pride, and insist on toing those things that will bring dis credit upon themselves and their home .itv, and they should be made to feel that there is yet some authority of law, and some respect left for law. rh?- Intelligencer stands for the en forcement of all law, especially those 'aws which deal with moral condi tions, and strive to make a purer at mosphere in which to raise up our young men. Not only should tims? "clubs" rallied yesterday bo closed up, but if there are any others, let the pood work go on until all shall fare .illke. We believe in a situare deal to everyone, and that all be treated on erma of impartiality. Why build colleges and high schools, <eep up a costly system of public ichools. support a Y. M. C. A., and do many other altruistic things, and whllo doing them allow the good work lone by them to be destroyed by agen cies that tear down faster than the Ubers build up? We cannot believe chat Anderson citizens are that kind. They have pride and are fully alive to 'he possibilities of a clean city. They ? not want Anderson to become like Charleston in this particular. Believ ing this, we are confident that the lands of the City officials will be up held in their crusade. THE PUBLIC DEFENDER The country in general Is Just begin ning to realise that heretofore a very necessary official of the judiciary has been entirely overlooked, I. e., the Public Defender. The creation of this office last spring by the city of Los Angeles aroused little more at thc Lime than amused smiles and con lemnatlon of the putting into practice the idea of some sociological enthu siast, but the results attained have /indicated the theories of tho origin al supporters of the movement and al so attracted the attention of every per son interested in the uplift. Los Angeles proved that often the indigent criminal was "more sinned igaiust than sinning," and that in the last many persons, guilty of no great er crime than poverty, had been rail roaded to prison, not through any ndividual prejudice on the part of the ludge trying the case, but due to ob oleto system which provided for thc ippointlng of a youthful and gener illy inexperienced lawyer, just out ? t ?ChOCt ?O minni lui.uovu. 1 in: .esivlt was always a foregone conclu sion, with tho young lawyer matched igainst an ablo and experienced law ^er, backed ?>-- the machinery of hts powerful office and the prestige of the State. The Western city has pointed the .vay. New York Is following suit. Ono >y one the dally newspapers and iveekly and monthly magazines are ?tarting to advocate the proposition, ind before long States and munlcl alltles in overy section of the coun ry will be endorsing and instituting he idea. Interviews with prosecuting attor leys in various cities shows that these >fficials recognize the necessity of >rovldlng sonio other system than the mc now In vogue, and consensus of >plnion is that the creation of the of ice of Public Defender will work to he benefit of the communlcy in gen sral, and incidentally be a money aav >r. Statistics show that nearly overy :lty of any size appropriates yearly i greater sum of money for tho pay nont of lawyers appointed to defend ndigont prisoners than would be seeded to pay the salary and office sxpensos of a first class man.

Now let me ask one question: Did not our goveruor state in an open letter before our last primary that If Rich ards was elected he, the governor, would take for granted the people of the state wanted an extra session of our legislators, and he would so call them, but If Manning was elected, he would know the people were opposed to an extra session, and he would do nothing. Now If be made that promise why did ho not comply with lt and save the taxpayers sixty v>r seventy thousand dollars while times are so hard. And I will ask again, 1B South Carolina different In her laws, and constitution, from all the other South ern States, to give our governor JuBt cause to differ from all the other governors in adopting a resolution, that the states - could accomplish nothing, this being while they were at MemphiB, Tenn., consulting to gether. Nov/ if our state constitution ls BO framed aB to give the legislators a right to pass laws to take from us the right to plant our land to what over suits us, while the federal con stitution gives us the right and we have taken oath to uphold them both. There sure would be a clash and the weaker must give ''*way to 'che stronger and If our state cnronstltu tlon does give us the right to plant our land to anything as suits us best, then why should our governor and legislators be wasting time and money discussing such legislation a:, would take from the pp?-?plo of th? state their rights guaranteed them; and that, in violation''of their oaths. lt 1B passing strange'how sound we people can sleep and let our rights ^H> trampled on when therp is a lit tle strang no'sc that tends to frighten us. When we hear the hooger then is thc time to be on our watch. Now, Mr. Editor, I have not ^written , this as any slur upon any one, but because they are facts as I see them, and if they are not facts I hope you will so state it in your paper, for I wish the people to know the danger they are In, and from "whom to look for the trouble to come, and tb know as long as we are free people our prosperity is an Individual problem and must be worked out by each individual alone, and for Cod's sake let's not invite a matter ta come^ver us at this time !f we have tn TtWrn bread ???ne. .^m" J.

Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, for the SUte, contending tfmt the wai ver of Frank's counsel, tn which the solicitor general held Frank acquies ced, of the defendant's right to be in court when the verdict wa* returned, was legal and tdndlng and barred the setting aside of tho verdict on tho grounds stated In tho motion.
