Squth Carolina: Fair Tuesday and Wednesday. It doean't help matters any to keep reminding man that he ls a beast. . Now is the time to begin your pre parations for Christmas. --o Raise as much of everything t s you can except Ca?n and Cotton. ? " o ? ' It is indeed a quiet Sunday in An derson that has no killing. Also, wliat has become of the old fashioned orator who predicted the early coming of a world-wide peace? It ls about time for Col. Bill Gard ner, of The Greenwood Daily Journal, to start his "swat the.fly" campaign. !" Ordinarily, a man think? the whole world is wrong if it doesn't think as he minks. A man isn't responsible for his rel atives, but he has the opportunity to choose hts friends. It may be that the crowded condi tion of the way of the transgressor ls what makes it so hard. All Gie world once loved a cheerful giver, but they love a cheerful man of any kind these days. -o-' It seems Gist ghouls got in Gio field as soon as the South was fairly seated in the Baddie. The newspapers did not please the polltlclGans last year and now the politicians are not pleasing the news papers. Hard times may be on in the South, hut one should not Judge so by the at tendance and the exhibita at tho coun ty faire. , ?'O' The lady ?diter ot Lancaster wanta a "clean-up" club organised. It seems to ns that the food dealers have al ready taken such a step. Even Hon. Bill Bryan seems to have gone back on the lately and much la mented Dove of Peace. He has said that he would like to see Teddy Roose velt Jola the Democrats. , We will oe glad when the- com mencement orators get a chance to thia European muddle. Uley look care of Gie Mexican eituaGen so nice ly. Ia tho days of old, Gie .Greek slaves taught Gielr Trojan masters, and yet some people say that lt Russia should he victorious in Gie present struggle ta Europe, Ute civilisation of Gie world will be set back' a century. _-o Con mo Maxwell orphanage, the Bap tist orphanage of South Carolina, has same ways of doing things that are well worth copying. One of these things ia, they "eat what they can, and can what they can't" Will' miTI? IHi: Til FM ? It 1H understood that there nre some persons disposed to criticize the irrln Istera und other pronini tot gentlemen of the city on account of their inter est in thc trials that are going on at th?' Recorder's court here. Of course .'hose who do not stund for the things thean gentlemen stand for, and why sympathize with the acts of the evil doers do not wish to have ministers present to see JiiHt what condition? are. We fall to see any argument that applies to the presence of those who stand for the richi, which would not apply with e<|iinl force lo those on the other side. Why is lt, we may ask, do those who "side" with tho accused in those cases, also frequent the court room? Something else must he done to create sympathy for the offenders, for lt IB incredible that such gentle men as the ministers of Anderson, the secretary of the Y. M. C. A.. and others equally Interested In making Ander son a clean city, should have any hut the purest of motives In attending these trials. How can a minister, for Instance, know what is happening In the city unlesB he gets familiar with all walks of life, and how is he to know what the "blind" tlgerB do unless he hears lt In court. These buslnes8(?) men do not as a rule invite gentlemen MI" the cloth to their midnight revels, nor would they be welcomed If they came unbidden. So what is a minister to do who wishes to get Information of this business? I row can a minister ?lave a man if he does not know from what to save him? Suppose, Mr. Critic, that you were a young man who had fal len to the lure of a blind tiger, whose business was dono 'on the quiet in an up-stairs room, and your minister should attempt to save you from fal ling, would lt not be of incalculable value to this minister to know, just what the temptaiton 1B to which you are subjected? Could not be do more effectual work for your soul's salva tion, if he knew, and how is he to know except what someone tells him? Better have lt from witnesses under oath, than from street talk. No, there must be something else done to create sympathy for the of fenders against all law. When minis ters and business men are sufficiently interested to leave their work and go to a crowded court room to hear evi dence in a nasty liquor case, it pre sages evil to the offenders, for thia is what ls needed to put a stop to their practices. Unless there !? a wholesome public sentiment back of any effort to clean up Anderson and so evidenced by the interest sud presence o' her best and roost influential citizens, then the efforts are In vain. The intelligencer oeiieves tr.at lt ls a healthy Blgn for so much Interest to be shown, and also that th?se gentle men are not going to hear these trials for any pleasure they derive from it, but from a sense of duty. Let the of fender beware If he 1B engaged In something which has not the sanction of the ministry, and the influential and moral citizens of the community. Hotter ?for him that he give it up, and place himself tn the watchcare ot ?me of these Godly persons till he can trust himself to walk before his fellow man. ATTORNEY SULLIVAN. Usually when a great reform starts In any community there ls one man more responsible for Its success than any other, for usually tho brunt of the work to be done ls borne by one man. The crusade against the blind tigers in Anderson is not an exception to this rule, and the man who is bearing a large part of the brunt and censure ot those upon whom the hand of the law is falling, ls the city attorney. G. Cullen Sullivan. Absolutely fearless, and unimpeachable, this yong man has fought the legal battle for tbe city in these cases single handed and alone, and while be has stood for the rights of the city in a iogal way, ho has not done so arrogantly, hut un derneath the surface has shown the kindly spirit of the man. He has not wished to persecute, and hts sole de sire has appeared to be the stamping out ot the evil. Save the man if we can, but stop the evil at al) hasards. No man could have made the fight he haa made except he be In earnest and have a worthy motive In doing lt, and no man who hes so far felt the pen alty of the law, can say that Cullen Sullivan has token the slightest ad vantage ot him. In saving this. The Intelligencer does not wish to take away one bit of the praise that belongs to Mayor Godfrey, chief sammons and ali the other city officials for their share In the work of cleaning up Anderson, to say nothing of the arduous task of the recorder, Col. Russell. They have all done well, and have undertaken a teak that officials ? in other cities shirk and in a great many of them never da Like The Intelligencer these gentlemen could have remained silent and have done nothing and even then Anderson would have been better than many cities in this State bat they did not elect to do so, and they deserve tba well done of their people for their efforts to Improve conditions in "My Town." LET I'S PAYE AMWAY Because the legislature killed the Lill to allow Anderson to issue bonds to th?' extent of 16 per rent of he. as Isensed property valuation is no reason why Anderson should not do som'. ?street paving any way. Fron? the flg ures available Anderson has a proper ty valuation of $3,136,000 at the lust time the returns were taken. .Next Feb ruary, after ?he returns for 191.1 are in ;! ..iii he found that there has been a great increase. Anderson now has a bonded indebtedness of only IlT?.riOO, and under the present constitution she call issue up to X pc.- cent, of the assessed property valuation. So hy th? time the nt-xt yeat s returns arc in. Anderson can increase her bonded In debtedness at least $100,000. Should the amendment to the Constitution to be voted on tomorrow carry, and there ls little doubt that it will, then thc city can asseBs abutting property owners an amount equal to what the vlty will expend on permanent im provements. This will gi' . approxi mately $200,000 available for this work, or which will be available as soon aH the bond Issue is arranged for. At a reasonable rate per mlle, the amount thus to he secured will pave approximately ten miles "of the streets of the city. For present needs, it strikes UB that the above is all we need. So let us get busy and have overythlpg in readiness to issue the bonds, und begin early to add several ml'.es to our paved streets.

Today is election day in South Caro lina and throughout the Stute the voters will he marching up to the polia and doing their duty. Ordinarily there is no great amount of interest in South Carolina when the general election arrives, oecause of the fact that the Republican party in this State is not strong enough to make any fight of importance. However, it is pointed out that the Republican nominee will have less chance to con test for any scat to which one its number may aspire, if a largo plur. ality is rolled up by the Democrats It Is therefore important, say Demo cratic leaders, that every loyal Demo crat go to the polls today and exercise his right of suffrage.
