THOUGHT FOR THE DAY In peace, love tunes the shepherd's reed; DJ war, he mounts the warrior's steed, In halls, in gay attire is seen; In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below and saints above; . For love is .xeaven and heaven is love. -Sir Walter Scott. , Villa may have stolen his name, but ywWwi lu ire uaugeruun ia nil own. -O .After all, though bloodier, the fam ily scrap of European royalty isn't bitterer than some h earea bouta. Training at European army head quarters ought to turn out some dandy newspaper circulation fakers. -o Another advantage-over here a mas can carry around war maps with out, taking a chance on being shot as a spy. This Spanish art dealer who says hes sold the government of Mexico some valuable "old masters" would better get cash before delivering them. -o Canadian papers are overlooking a sure* thing bet in not offering to in sure subscribers against damage by an invasion of Qerman-Americans. -o Did the U. 8. Burgeon who said if the allies "swore off" and the Ger mans stuck to beer the result would be assured violate neutrality? -o Many a promising courtship is nip ped In the hud by remarks of pert lit tle brothers and sisters. Moral: Keep i-; the kids out of Cupid's way. -o The assertion that public opinion Joules goes in this country, but doubt that lt ruled in the countries now en gaged in fighting. Not a man ia Congress will dispute the fitness of the reference of Secre tay Garrison to "ih?j masterful figure of the President" standing out In bold relief. -o - In announcing her Intention to take On a fifth, a popular dancer naively remarked that the prophesy that she'd have seven husbands was merely a soothsayer's Joke. -o . ? There must be great excitement in Ratdora and Mlcedom over that sev en-ton cheese made by a New York concern;, for exhibition atv the San Francisco show. ? ? ? a ? ? Philadelphia may be sleepy, but those caught operating a moonshine ?till there are convinced that Uncle Barn keeps some wide-awake hired men In the vicinity. --o Dont get excited when reading of America's *-r?sela being searched for centrabead on the high rees by British warships-if? officially held In Wash ington to be within their rights. ANBEKSON, A CLEAN < ITV Possibly ono fools that the matter of a clean city ls being exaggerated Just now as regards the city of Anderson. It sn? h a thing a? exaggeration can be possible when the results are so fur reaching. There can be no doubt in the minds of well informed persons that the achievements of those who have made a city that is ? lean in other place is desiruble. What they have done done und are doing. Anderson < an do. The reputation Anderson has over tli<> State is that it ls a very desirable city :n which to live. Its cjlmate and he progreHsiveneBB of its people are tiling? which make Anderson known fur and wide. The citizens ;?ro gener ally well hehuved and law abiding, and because there IH Just now a great dca. of comment on conditions here as re gards the sale of liquor illegally, is no sign that conditions here are any worse than In other cities, even much suiuller than Anderson. The echoes we have heard from our crusade are that other places are even worse than thia city in regard to these matters. In truth the very fact that Anderson is having a crusade shows thc city to be a leader among Others. Shortly after the crusade Btartcd here a dele gation of Columbia citizen waited on the mayor of that city and requested that steps be taken to rid our Capital from the presence of this undesirable element. We find that Greenville needs a house cleaning along the same Unes, and Greenwood could profit by a simi lar experience, and a crusade is being 'onducted in Augusta to have a bet ter obsorvance of the laws there. We refrain from mentioning Charleston in this connection, and the "City of SucceBs" has not been heard from. How desirable indeod would be the knowledge that it wore impossible for anyone to be subject to any influence In this city other than the best. Only u short while ago a college for gir'.s was started herc. What an advertise ment for that college would be the sim pie statement that there is nothing wrong in Anderson. Parents would rather send their girls to such city. Of course we know that conltions sur rounding Anderson College are as nearly ideal as lt is possible for them lo be. but the farther off yonder In a remote section of South Carolina does not possess the information we have. He perhaps has heard only of some lark In Anderson, or his neighbor has been here to a convention, and has seen the effects of the liquor traffic, thereby giving him his Impression of "My Town." The effects of a morally Btrong sentiment In the city on the hon. -.-seeker has been referred to In a previous editorial. Thus -It will be sen that there is ample ground for the work of the law .torcera, and those who wouin seo in Vndcrspn a city beautiful an-i a city clean. , ^tlfflKS LET I'S REST. Today is the Sabbath. The thoughts of all Bhould be turned to other things han bond issues and cotton acreage reduction, and state warehouse system. Therefore, we snail not tresspasB upon the thoughts for the day further than to say that we are "agin" the bond is sue, HOI bt'uuuae we wu uni uOt ?id the cotton growers In every WOY possible, hut because we do not believe this is the way to aid them. They do not fa vor it themselves. The State ware lusc plan ls all right, but comes too Late to do any good to tho small far mer this year. The cotton acreage re duction bill had as well be written on '.he beach at Sullivan's Island, for the good lt will do. So, let's go to church today and forget them all. THE SCHOOL PAGE. The school page of The Intelligencer will be Interesting? Tuesday. There will be several new schools represented tn '.he page, and a number of communi cations worth reading. We wish to have something from every school In (he county, and trust that those schools not having sent in anything will do HO at once. If there is any event to come off in the future In any school notice should be given of this fact in the school page. Uncle Sam collected taxes from 44 persons on Incomes of $1.000.000, or more; John Bull on none. Don't know If this means English magnates are pikers, or slicker dodgers. Possibly the directors of the New York, New Haven ft Hartford railway were decreased from 2? to 17 be cause of difficulty in getting capable men to serve, owing to the old band name. -o Some patient statistician might ren der the public a real service by show ing, with proof, what percentage of voters are affected by campaign hot air though lt might Jolt the spell binders some. o Holding only Ita bonds, secured by ita property, upon which interest must be paid. Andy Carnegie doubtless smiled when the steel trust cut the dlvidond on ita common stock to one- half ot 1 per cent. AFTER THE TIGERS If I? interesting nows that cumes from Andersen to the effect that th? city council has la-ken hold of the men who arc in the blind tiger business ir. that city, and it ls handing out to them n<>od stuff tines with impris onment. Thia is as it should be. Nu place should allow blind tigers to de fy the law. We are ?lad to see thut The Daily Intelligencer is hacking up the coun cil not only by publishing the names of the tigers, but in expressions of endorsement, and of hearty approval. Tills is no more than any honest news paper should do, hut it is more than j some of them have done in the past. It might be a good idea for Green wood to take another whack at the tigers. No one has any use for them. The lowest and meanest man on earth is the dow down debased white'man who KOCH into the blind tiger business. He is not flt to live in any decent com munity. If he in Greenwood he should he routed and if possible sent to thc penitentiary.-Greenwood Journal. A PEACE PICNIC. (By Elbert Hubbard.) Just Buppose thsl three months ago there had gone abroad over the world an urgent r?-ouest for big business ai! factories and stores, everywhere to grant its helpers one day off with full pay for a peace picnic. What would have been the reply of Coloney Moneybags? I'll tell you-it would have been this: "Ono whole day off for a picnic, and full pay? We can't afford it!" The war has been going on In Eu rope for ten weeks or more, with at ileast twelve million men taken from [the ranks of useful labor. Tho cost, not counting loss of labor, is thirty million dollars a day. \ And I hope wo dot lia ve. to prove that every soldier has to be supported by a laborer. Going into battle isnt exactly going to a picnic. Picnics carry a decided benefit, es-, peclally where a man takes his wife and children, or IIIB sweetheart But even the sophistic apologists aro at their wits' end to explain the good of thia war. And no one yet has come forward and claimed the credit of beginning lt. Conceive that this 1B 1914, of the Christian Kalends. Pinch your ear, whistle out loud. Are you dreaming? No. It is 1914. lt is the age ot Edi son, Kelvin, Steinmetz, Lister, Roent gen, Charles W. Elliot. David Starr. Jordan, Robert Collie,-, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Rodin, George Westinghouse, the Wright brothers, Madame Curie, S. Weir Mitchell. William James, Nathan Straus, Alexander Graham Bell, Mae terlinck. Thomas Hardy! The human race seemed sure of it celf. Its mind was opening, like a gigan tic, intelligible eye. Tho phantoms and goblins were in a panic in their sinister heavens. With microscope and alembic, with pen and presB, man-heir to the Pro methean spark-waa Invading the realm of death, disease and fear. He had put wings on the stage coach; ho was whispering messages He had segregated the germ; and brave men had gone to both the North and South Poles, Man was civilizing doctors, preachers, lawyers; civilizing his raiera-those la headen and those on earth. His telescope foraged among the ruined constellations of the infinite. His microscope brought hts eye to pasture on the inconceivable. No matter how much pain he had Buffered, he found it glory to have I Iv eu iu ibu iast century and the open lag years of the present. He reigned over life like an eagle. Illa achievements put the touch of godhead on his brow. Concelvo that this ls 19914. And that art, science, invention had glori fied man-lifted him to the Matterhorn cf highest hope. Then conceive the inconceivable. Think the unthinkable. Realize the un believable. One may paint the horrors of this struggle of the ages a la Tolstoy or Zola. Sickening task! One may look at lt from the brain of a Hugo and write magnificent strophes in prose and verse, whose beauty would quench the rainbow. But there ls no romance or heroism in this war today to inspire a Victor Hugo. . The safest, healthiest manner of traveling with the Great 'Blond Beast from day to day is in the manner of tho philosopher. It will stifle those bitter, burning toav? that are iii our hearts, and purge our souls of those sobs, that choke us. And keep your eye on the great re action, when the human race will take possession of the old planet by right of eminent domain? And at the close ot the war let the entire world of workers and tollers have a picnic-with full pay? And let the band play and the orat< -y flow, and 'ove, for once, be legal t. ador. Can we afford lt? Why, aura! we certainly can. And even ol' man Moneybags will join us! Hot Their Fault. Uncle Josh was comfortably light ing hi? pipe in the living room' one evening when Aunt Maria glanced up from her knitting. "Josh," softly remarked the good woman, "do you know that next Sun day will be the 25th anniversary of our wedding?** "Ye don't say so. Marla!" respond ed Uncle Josh, pulling vigorously on his corncob pipe. What about it?" "Nothing," answered lunt Maria, "only I thought maybe we ought to kill them two Rhode leland Red chick ens." "Say, Marla,' impressively demanded Uncle Josh, "how can you .blame them two chickens for what happened 15 years ago?" ALMA KELLY. In Full Chase.

A LAST APPEAL Til THE VOTERS IO tin- Editor or Thc Intelligencer: Please allow nie ?paie In which to all tin- attention of the public to thin last appeal so necessary Tor the gen eral election. I havo som?- cause, while Dr. Walker's first appeal of two weeks ag.i has been endorsed, to make an other and last uppeal for the time so nearest the election as to create good Interest in the hearts of South Caro lina. It is o: importance now that the vot ers ot South Carolina are again asked to support at the general election on Tuesday, November 3rd, the two amendments HO proposed to the state constitution, in a Joint resolution by the Oeneral Assembly ai the last meet mi;, thal tlie Cedur Spring school for the Deaf, located at Cedar Spring, S. C.. he in one amendment removed from the class of penal and charitable institutions, and then in the other amendment he classified with the ed ucational stale-supported Institutions. The Joint resolution for the classi fication originated with Representa tive Jesse W. lloyd, of Spartanburg, S. C., on his own initiative, und backed up hy Dr. Walker's suggestion. The resolution was passed at the general assembly, and thc Committee on Ju diciary, to whom lt was referred, pass ed that resolution to submit to thc voters for ratification at the general election. It has been seen fit to emphasize thc public upon tho proper constitutional classification by the following facts: (1) The education of the deaf In the state on such a high scale with the other beHt state schools, and the overshadowing of the old Idea of char ity. (2) The school already supported as are the other state institutions so classified, by the public tax. (3) The possible advent of one of the great issues of education now In view,-the state school compulsory education or attendance law that would apply to the deaf ns well for such a school properly classified as educational. (4) The state association already the step to the improvement for fur ther welfare. Other benefits in view too many to make out here,-aa the public might know whatever the ben efits are for the deaf, so are the wise voters requested to explain the mean ing of the vote to the ignorant Remember to the point how. to vote right on the two amendments, very necessary to each other. Cast two sep arate ballots with the explanation given thereon for each of the two Remember lo the point how to vote right on the two amendments, very necessary to each other. CaBt two sep arate ballots with the explanation giveh thereon for each of the two amendments and ,.\ho words: "For Amendment-"Yes.*' You will be thanked with fair grat itude for the wisdom of the vote. Fa vor, support and adopt the amend ments, and will the amendments carry; and at last, Uli the cauce of education is South Carolina's cause. WALTER GLOVER. School Graduate. INGERSOLL AT NAPOLEON'S TOMB. The following will doubtless be of interest Just now in the light of the I ?mpueuings in me ?JIU world: "A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon-a niagnifi- i cent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost i for a dead deity-and gazed upon the i sar copi me u s of black Egyptian marble, where rests at last"lhe ashes of .bat restless man. I leaned over the balus trade and thought about the career of the greatest soldier of the modern world. "I saw him walking upon tho banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide. I saw him at Toulon, 1 saw him put ting down a mob In the streets ot Paris; I saw him at tho head of the army of Italy. I saw him crouslng the bridge Of Lodi wi i.b. ibu iricuio.- in his j hand. I saw him In Egypt In the | shadow of the pyramids. I saw him . conquer the Alps ana mingle the agles of France with the eagles of the crags. I saw him at Marengo, at Ulm and Austerlltz. I saw him lu Russia, where the infantry ot the snow and the calvary of the wild blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Lclpsis in defeat end disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris-clutched like a wild beast-banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by :he force of his genius. I saw li?m upon iho frightful field at Waterton, where chance and fate combined !?. wreck the fortunes of their former king, and 1 saw him at St. Helena,, with ms hands crossed behind him, gatlue out upon tho sad and solemn sea. "I thought of the orphans and wid ows he had made, of the tears that had been shed for bia glory and the only woman who ever* loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand ot ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes. I would rather havo lived in a hut with a vint growing over the door and the grapes growing purple In the kisses of tbe autumn sun. I would rather have oeen that poor peasant with my loving wife by ray side, knitting aa the day died out in tho ?ky-with my children upon my knees and their arms about me. I would rather have been that mar. and gone down to the touguoiess si lence of the dreamless dust than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder.** Currency For Richmond Federal Reserve Bank (By Associated Press.V WASHINGTON, Opt. 31.-The first consignment of paper currency under the federal reserva act waa sent tc the treasury today from the bureau o: engraving and printing.

In Poland the Germane are report ed to be falling back to new positions near their own frontier, while in Gali cia the fighting continues without ma terial change. The situation created by Turkey's attacks on Russian towns in the Crimea, and upon Russian ships in tho Black Sea should soon be cleared up, ns Great Britain and Russia have pre sented a demand to the Sublime Porte tor an explanation of the incidents, the dismissal of the German officers and men from Turkish warships, and the dismantling of th: Gooben and the Breslau, the fermer German craters Turkey's reply made be delayed, as lt was announced tonight that tele graph commuulcation with Turkey tvas Interrupted. It is not yet clear what damage the Turkish fleet has done, although reports from different sources say four Russian torpedo boats, a mine layer, a collier and a coast guard ship were destroyed. One of Great Britain's difficulties will be the protection of the oil fields which she recently acquired in Per sia Indian troops can be brought up for this purpose. There is much speculation as to what action the Balkan states and Italy will take in view of Turkey'a entrance into the struggle, but as yet there has. been no definite statement on this subject.
