Tiic City of Anderson lu io b<- con gratulated upon the complete victory won in running down und putt ?UK out of business the dealers in Alcoholic liquors. There are perhaps a few who ure unwhipped of Justice and the law, hut they are very few, and thc mala offenders ure out of business and out of the city. This IH a very desirable Btaie of af falrs. but the people of the city who wisli to see the good work thal has beeil done perpetuated, must not sit down and feel that everything has been done and that there is no need for further eftort. Now IB the time for most active work to be done. If then? are o?' er places where ll?,nor ls sold or dispense? a ?top should not be made till they are also closed up. Every citizen of Anderson should stanil upon the samo foo'!,ig, and what constitutes violation:, of the law with one person, certainly should consti tute lt If don?? by another. Then, ii a let-up 1B made, the tiger will Boon begin to return, and this same thing must be gone over again. A suggestion has been made that a law and order league be organized. TIIIB should be done by all meanB and at once. Those who mean to make An derson a clean city are In the major ity here, and they can put a stop to any practice they feel is not conduc tive to their purposes in making it so. Hut is is necessary that lhere be or ganized and concerted effort. Ever> citizen must feel that lt is his duty to report a violation of the law com mg under his knowledge as much sv. as if he were an officer. Only in this way will we be able to make Ander son really a "dry" city and keep it so. Let Anderson be. like the two cities Dr. Whit? spoke of-entirely and truly ciean. DESERTED BY FRIENDS One could not have been other than Impressed yesterday if a spectator at the liquor trial in progress here, at the utter hon I i ness of the defendant who iras present. Without counsel he tried to make out his case, and there were no witnesses to appear for him. If he had friends they were not in evi dence, and the hearty good fellow ship he found when indulging in his Avocation could do bim but little good at the time he needed it most His former friends, so called, were not present to suy a good word for him, nor to sympathize with him when the sentence of the court was passed. . But thin should excite no surprise, for it ls a trait of human nature that friends in adversity are indeed hard to find. As long as all goes well with a fellow, and he has money, or some thing others want, he ls sought and Ands plenty of sympathy and friend ship, and good companionship. But let the winds of adversity begin to blow, and he must hunt for help and fellow ship from othera In this case the friend to whom the defendant could turn, and one from whom ho could expect any sympathy or aid, was the attornoy whose duty was to prosecute. ' There is a lesson the evil doer ?hCulu leam 'rein this ?ncldeu?, and he should endeavor to cultivate the friendship of those who will stand by him In adversity as well as In prosper ity. There are such persons, and for the man who does the best he can In an honorable way, they are always ready to hold out a helping hand. But one would hardly go to a blind tiger, or to a habitual violator of the law for this aid and sympathy. The min isters and the broad minded men who wished to see for themselves what the city was doing, are the men to turn to for assistance and help. Will the remaining offenders, if tl .-?re be any, in Anderson do this, or will Uiey continue to violate trie law? We shall see. ONLY ONE-THIRD IN COTTON As the law now stands the fermera of the State can only plant one-third of their total crop in cotton. The In telligencer will not longer question the wisdom, nor the validity ot the law. but as lt ls law. It must >e obey ed by all law abiding citizens. It will be a good thing for the farmers of Anderson county to obey this law lit erally, and for every 30 acree plant ed let there be only 10 planted in cotton. Now is the Ume to get ready to obey this law. If the farmers of the county walt till next spring when it ls time to plant their crops, they will hate dcardfully to plant ZO acres ot corn and only 10 ot cotton, especially. If lt happen to be a farmer who baa boen planting nearly his entire crop In cotton. We trust the farmers who are read ers of The Intelligencer. If they have sot already done so, will plant aa many acres of grain aa possible thia j winter. Sow oats, rye and wheat, and thus reduce the number of acree to be planted next spring in either cot ton or corn. Ix* the cotton crop next year be truly a surplus crop, sind the price lt briaga will not make so much difference. I' \ Ith K If 4M? TUL MILLS The resignation of Lewie W. Parker, as presiden I of th? Parker merger of cotton mills In South Carolina, totnes very much as a surprise to the people of the state. No reasons have been as signed for this reHignation, or rath er had not been when the announce ment was made. If he has made any statement as to lils reasons, we have not seen it. We suspect that Mr. Park er has been hard hit by the turn the markets have recently taken, and as his successor is said to be connected with a bank, il is probable,that llnan clal reasons are back of this move on his part. It is a known fact that the cotton mills in this State have nearly all been operating at a IOSB this fall, and in some cases for a much longer period. Tile Mills of Anderson as well as those In other places have their trouble?, and they are bravely strug gling to make ends meet, and Judg ing from reports of some of the large orders received they will pull through with flying colors, flut doubtless the cotton mills of the city, were they to consult their beet interests financial ly, would chose down for a period, but they are loyal to their help, and the men and women dependent upon them for employment should feel grateful that mills of Anderson are of ficered hy humane and kindly men who would rather suffer financial IOBS than to bring suffering to their employees.

The morning waa gray and dom y, And over the fading land Autumn was casting the withered leaves Abroad with a lavish hand. Sad lay the tawny pastures, Where the grass was brown and dry; And the far-off hills were blurred with mist, Vndsr the Bomber ?ny. The frost already had fallen, No bird seemed left to sing; And I sighed to think of the temp ests Between us and the spring. But tho woodbine yet was scarlet. Where lt found a place to cling; And the old dead weeping-willow Was draped like a splendid king. Suddenly out of the heavens. Like sapphire sparks of light, A flock of bluebirds swept and Ut In the woodbine garlands bright. The tree was alive in a moment With motion, color and song; How gorgeous the flash of their ature wings The blood-red leaves among. Beautiful, brilliant creatures . What sudden delight they brought Into the pallid morning, Rebuking my dreary thought! Only a few day? longer -And they would have flow, to find The wonderful vanished summer,.

While they sought for the purple ber ries, So eager and bright and glad, I watched them dreaming of April. Ashamed to have been so sad. And I thought, "Though I ena not fol low thsm, I can patiently endure. And make the best of the snowstorms And, that is something more.

A New and Radi The $ (Dy John Temple Oraves.) After many a rain-swept and stormy evening, the skies have cleared at midnight to make entrance for a new and radiant morning. It is so with the South. Out of the moat serious financial shadow that it has known for half a century there is surely coming and now at hand, the day of better methods, wiser econo mies and more substantial prosperity than luis section of our country has ever known. For a quarter of a century the thoughful economists and set.'ous leaders of the South have preached tho wholesome gospel of diversified Industries and self sustaining prod ucts of the soil. It has taken this European war and Its smashing as sault upon the supposed citadel of our agricultural fortunes to awaken thc South and to impress the saving les ion of common sense. The school master bas been stern and the dis cipline bitter. The suffering has been great. Millions have vanished from our financial fabric, and fortunes have faded in a night. But the splendid soil remains. The incomparable cli mate is about us. The unconquerable spirit of the people who outlived the travail of reconstruction survives. And the South, taught of experience and disciplined at last by disaster, is about to overthrow the old oligarchy of agriculture and compel King Cot ton to share his throne with the ce real and sustaining products of the royal line of prosperity. Farmers Much Advised. In years past every farmer heard the counsel of his leaders, listened with respectful apathy to those who warned against the coming day of I disaster to the all-cotton planters, and resolutely went home to increase his cotton acreage, In the faith that his neighbor would do the curtailing and he would grow rich from an enormous cotton yield in a, year of small supply and great demand. Burned to the level of his selfish ! ness and cupidity by the torches of this war, every farmer will heed, without the lashes of the law. And the 1915 cropB. while they will carry cot ton moderately for the world's de mand, will certainly begin to pile up the great cereal and staple crops be hind whose sustaining living power they can defend the citadel of their staple property against speculation or war. Place the cotton crop of 1915 at 9,000,000 bales or less. I have never seen anything to equal the intelligent vigor with which the South ls adapting itself and prepar ing itself for the new era of agricul tural Independence. Millions of acres have carried cotton heretofore. Corn and wbeat, alfalfa and hay, fruits and potatoes, cantaloupes and poultry, cat tle and hogs are preparing a perman ent and prosperous home in the future economy of Georgia. The Boys' Corn Clubs and the Girls' Com Clubs are among the most enthusias tic and numerous organizations in the State. Some of them have, the record of 200 bushels to the acre. The universities and the railroads - are planning In every county of the State their practical and scientific agricul turists to teach a willing and waiting people all the details of diversified farming. There aro more prizes and premiums being offered in Georgia for the best yield per acre of corn, the best acre of potatoes, the . beat hogs, the best cattle, the best field of alfalfa, the best yield of cantaloupes, etc., than will be set in cups and prize? for all the athletic fields of the republic. Boys* Corn Clubs. The last p?rade of the Boys and Gorls' Corn Clubs in Atlanta, lcd . by three governors and with , Judson Harmon, of Ohio, aa orator, stretched over a mile of the city's streets. On the 18th day of November more than one hundred counties in Georgia will gather at their county sites in great "home producta dinners," at which every article to eat, to wear, to drink, to serve and to enjoy will -be made in Georgia-the plates, the dishes, the table linen, the cutllery and the bills of fare. It is the beginning of tho renais sance of the old South of marvelous riches in agriculture. It is the awak ening of a great people to thrift and common sent o. The present situation, bad as it is, is Improving- in the philosophy of acceptance and renewed endeavor. Three thousand Southern banka are lending money to the farmers on his cotton. The commercial syndicate of the St Louis, New York and South ern bankers will provide for a mighty volume of the surplus cotton. The Beaut concessions wrung from con gress and the administration will do something to help. The new interest and demand from English milts ts inspiring all along the line. And there is the development from Wash ington, printed first of all in the Washington correspondence of the Hearst newspapers, that cotton is not contraband of war and can go with out interruption to Germany and Austria, where they wait to welcome lt, and back of lt all was this Initial tonic of the "Buy-a-Bale Movement** to which the Hearst newspapers have given so virile and eloquent an advo cacy. This movement first ot all, re vived the drooping spirit of the South ern farmer, braced him to hold bis cotton as long aa he could, sustained the price tor nearly two months In the face of a rapidly falling market, and did more to advertise to the world the standard value of the staple, the variety pf ita uses, the possibilities of Ita development, and to introduce lt to millions who never saw lt before, than any Incident In its history. Will Pay Debts. The cotton grower has settled him self now to the situation. He has al ready suffered much. He ls geing to suffer more. Along with him and be cause of him there is bound to bs a leas Hat of sufferers from the anny ot tbs unemployed, flung out of work by the shutting ?own of shops and tbs reduction of ?orktag forma em tant Morning In louth. the railroads and the milla and the corporations. These last are the men who will Buffer most, because they have no remnant of "hog and hom iny" to fall back opon. But the whole I list is gritting its teeth and facing the future resolutely. The farmer is go ing to sell his cotton or lend it at the best terms he can get, pay his debts, pocket his losses With courage and go out for the bettor day. . . I Fnally, the cotton grower of the South thank?, and has good reason to appreciate, the splendid expressions vt sympahty and co-operation from th? men and "women of the North furn Massachusetts to California who have generously bought bis bales of distress cotton, braced . him with courage and worn his cotton fabrics everywhere In ballroom and public assembly, to the eye and admiration of the world.-The Georgian. NEW YORK. Nov. 5-The member ship of the sixty-fourth Congress, as the rusult of Tuesday's election, ex cluding a few contests still in doubt, will be as follows: House of Representatives-Demo crats 229; Republicans 196; Progres sives 7; Socialists 1; Independent 1. Democratic majority 24. Senate- Democrats 53; Republican 39; Progressives I; Democratic ma jority 13. Senatorial contests still in doubt to night were in Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin. Democratic leaders still claimed th? election of Charles S. Thomas over Hubert Work in Colo rado, and af Francis D. Newlands over Samuel Platt In Nevada. Repub lican leaders claimed the election of Francis E. McGovern over Paul A. Husting, Democrat, in Wisconsin; but through an error in counting-returns, discovered late in the day an appar ent majority for McGovern had been swept away leaving the situation much in doubt. The result in only one congression al district was undetermined tonight. In the first New York district, Fred erick C. Hicks, Republican, and Rep resentative Lathrop Brown were run n!ig on virtually even terms. The out come probably will not be -known un til an official count ls made. In computing the Democratic total in the house at 229, William Kettner. of the eleventh California district, wbo also ran on the Progressive ticket and ranks as a Progressive in the present Congress, is included with the major ity party. Representative John I. Nolan, of the fifth California district, who ran on the Republican and Progressive tick ets and was elected to the present Congress-as a Progressive-Republican is classed with the Republicans. Rep ToaantaUva william Kent, of the first California District, ls ranked as an in dependent. This would give the Prog ressives seven members of the house. PLUCK!
