The year that has Just gone, has bren one of thc moat remarkable in the his tory of the world. Great and strange things have happened, and tho closing of the year sees much that ls food for thought, much to wonder ut and phil osophize over, but whatever the past has in Its storehouse, let it remain there und let us turn our faces resolutely to ?he future, and make tho year 1915 tho bcBi that has ever been for ourselves uDd for those whom we can help. Three hundred and Blxty-flve days seem a long time when viewed from the ?tarting point, t ut will it seem ns long when viewed from the other end? There arc hound to bc many tl.nig-i i we chati wonder at during thli time. Men who aro prosperous now m ty bo urforlucpfn during thia time ard may be ro'-r? at tho end. Men who aro pov erty slr; 'ken now may be wealthy then, PO wonderful arc thc mutnlons of time In this county. Good health may rive way to disease; sickness be charmed to health. Families that aro milted now and happy may be separated and unhappy; some mem bers may pass on to await the coming cn the other side. But whatever may be tho viclssl tucct- nf life, one can only do what he. feel? i. bo the best. We must think nf the future when we act in the present. Life crowned with ago was no. lived in one year, but the product is tho accumulation of years of experience and thoughts. One becomes whit ono really wishes to be. Wo grow to be like those we love, and we grow to be like the ideals wc have formed. To one, therefore, who has not high Ideals, we urge *.he study of the trui and the good, not to say the great. The passing of the years for tin. ? oung seem frought with most po.-sl Mittles, and with their faces turned tc the sunrise, may they emulate thoa? good souls who have finished the climb and whoso faces are turned t? thc .it'.nset. How the years scamper on in middle lifo. They pass as swiftly as do the telegraph poles as viewed from a fast moving train They seem to the busy man or woman ell to short for the accomplishment of life's duties, but each one ls a unit in life's span, and the deeds done in them make up the history of tho man or the woman. How is that history being written in your life? So, let us ail be a blt more kind in 1915 than we were in 1914. Let us help those who have been unfortun ate, and let us strew roses with the thorns cut off. What a splendid plsce this world would be If ail men were only kind and thought of the rigbfj of others as they would have them think of their rights. Be unselfish, and work for the public good a little dur ing the yeer. Knock off from the Knocking and go give yourself a change; Just try your hand at hosting, though the art bo bard and strange; Just knock off from tbat grumbling and grouch a little-while. And see how things will brighten when you touch them with a smile. Just knock off from that habit of a snicker and a cnoer, And go out scattering roses over peo ple tar and near; Just knock off from hat knocking both yourself and other men, And see how life grows brighter when you h-jlp to boost again. -Bentztown Bard. WILL OIYE PUBLICITY The Intelligencer has come in tor some criticism because it did not pub lish the names of the offendeds who were caught shooting craps a few days sgo, and lt has been Intimated that it was because this paper lacked cour age to give publicity because those Involved were "respectable and prom inent young men of the city." Mow, we do not believe that anyone will ;lve much credence to such statements. We propose to publish the police court* proceedings without fear or favor, re serving, however, the right to sup press any story we think deserves to be suppressed. Now we do not mean that we shall refrain from publish ing a story about some son of a wor thy sire, in fact we abell rather give the preference to these, because they will be so much more interesting. So If fair haired "Johnnie" does not wish to see his name In print, he had bet ter not go before ReenrdeT Russel or any of Ute magistrates in the city. If publicity ls what la desired The In telligencer shalt try. to give lt Now, we are giving thia warning because we wish to be absolutely fair in the matter, and to put all parties on notice as to what we propose to do. So do not blame this newapapar if you. insist on gambling and getting drank, and your name should happen to ap pear in the writeup of the police court proceedings. Tba Intelligencer has ho desire to do anyone an injury, and we hope this publicity will prevent crime, aa we believe lt will, for we find that people much preter the legal penally lhan the publicity given in the newspaper?. We trust that few names shall appear in The Intelligen cer during Iii 15. hut If they do, please do not blame the newspaper. A GREAT WORK The Intelligencer looks upon the work being done in South Carolina by Col. W. W. Long and his associates, as being the greatest work engaging the attention of the people of thc Slato just now. Going Into every county and community, they aro giv ing advice and suggestions to those who need this advice, and they are muking two blades of grass grow whore only one grow before. Their work is t eing done where the produc tive1 masses aro striving to obtain greater harvests so that their re turns may be better, and they may be ablo to do some of tho things for themselves and for their loved ones they see otherB doing. These mission aries vif progress and independence aro spreading a gospel of thrift and prosperity wherever they go, and the people aro catching the enthusiasm of their teachers, and are fast coming to believe as does the rest of the world that theirs ls the greatest of tho professions. No longer is a man ashamed to say he ls a farmer, and no longer docs it mean he is a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for other folks. There are some as Inde pendent and cultured farmers toduy as there are in any other calling, and tho most independent. Coupled aa Mr. Long wishes this work to bo with the educational Inter ests of tho State, ono cannot estimate the value of their effort, on the fu ture. A race of strong and intelligent [men will grow up to thank them and their government for the work they have been doing to raise the profes sion of agriculture to a level with other professions and callings. Wc iake off our hats to Col. W. W. Long and tho able corpB of patriotic men he has working with him and under him for the emancipation of the farmers of the State, and through them of every other class. We regret that the delegation saw flt to put off tho decision to appro priate the money asked for yester day for the purpose of placing the splendid worker Mr. Long haB in mind for. this county. We hope this delay will not bo,for long, so that the man. chosen may get here In time to begin carly In tho new year to do his work. ,)OO00OOO000000OO00O o OUR DAILY POEM o e o| .?O00000 O00O000O000O .A New Year's Prayer.

DELEGATION HELD LONG MEETING HEARD REQUESTS FOR AP PROPRIATIONS BY OFFICERS SUPPLY BILL Watter of Levy for 1915 Con? sidered-Prof. Long Asked For Appropriation. A request of Prof. W. W. Long, ?tate agent of the Farmers rcopcrative Demonstration Work, for au appro priation for $800, to me supplmented by .M.JUD to be furnished by the Unit ed States government and Clemson College, and used for the purpose of placing in Anderson county a practi cal and experienced expert on matters pertaining to agricuturc. who shall assist thc farmers of the county in their many problems, was the princi pal matter brought before the meeting yesterday of the Anderson county leg islative delegation, who met at noon in tho courthouse for the purpose of considering the 1915 tax levy amd hearing petitions and suggestions per taining to proposed legislation. No Action Taken. The delegation did not take definite action on the requests of Prof. Long, as -one member of the delegation, S. A. Burns, was absent and they did not wish to act without all members ot the delegation being present and thor- . oughly understanding he proposition. ' It is probable that the delegation will take some action within the immediate future, however, as Prof. Long stated he is anxious to know what is go.ing to be done about the matter. If the delegation decides to act favorably on tho matter, Prof. Long wishes to se cure the agricultural expert and put him to work nere at once. Other Blatters Taken Up. The delegation heard reports from the county supervisor with reference to the financial condition of the coun ty. Tho supervisor stated that the county now owes in tho sum of notes something Uko ?102,500, and that the * .levy for current funds, which will be ' used to retire as for as possible theso g notes wjll produce only $8<,000. He ng- il urea that the county will be in debt { approximately $20,000 in January .af-'d ter the outstanding notes are paid c with the taxes now coming in. The supervisor declared that the county in a now supporting Uiq largest chaingang S In the history of the county, approx!- 8 mately 100 convicts being on the two t gangs. Also the county farm has the t largest number of paupers, approxl- o mately 50. Tho county feeds three t times a day exactly 175 people. Mr. p King asked thst the members of the delegation go to inspect the county farm: e-r;iained that the drouth last July prevented a large yield. Told of d tho vast improvements made at tho v home, the building ot a hospital, a 1 large bara, and ?aid that about 95,000 a had been spent In buying more mules. t He estimates that amount of money . spent in permanont improvements in this way to be $18.000. When he went " into office in July 1913, the county i owed |65,000. The levy had been given h seven mills, but delegation that ia a retiring reduced the. levy for county . purposes.to 6 1-2 mills. The supervisor asked for as liberal .levy for his de- 1 partment as is consistent with the beet n Judgment of the members of the dele- p gatton. Ho suggests that some plan be 0 adopted by which county, can get mon ey in large amounts from one person or """poration at low rate of Interest, to issue notes maturing one, two. three t and four years, etc., so as to gradu- B ally retire the debt. . Treasurer Speaks. Dr. W. A. Trir.p, county treasurer, ? stated that he thought the county t should arrange to borrow all its : money from one source and not be owing persons here and there. He stated that be believed tho county could save at least ~* loo a year by borrowing all Its an?, s ' from one source. Representative West said that in his opinion a provision could be made in the levy for retiring a part of ? Ute indebtedness every year, and that in UUs way the debt could be wiped out. It was explained that this was the custom heretofore, making a levy ot one-half mill ot one mill tor "past Indebtedness." A levy ot One mill in Anderson county means approximately 913,260. Auditor Smith says that the indebt edness of the county when he made his audits in 1913, waa $65.000. j Mr. J. L. Jackson suggested that a resolution . be adopted by tho delega tion appropriating the money for road work so that it would be distributed equitably over Ute county. Mr. J. t?. Felton, county superintend ent of education, discussing tho con dition ot the schools, with especial reference to the financial condition. He hoped that the pr?sent provisions for the schools would .remain. Also called attention of the delegation to the state superintendent's racemmen datlons thst term of office of the coun ty auperlntendont bo changed to con form wit h the fiscal scholastic year thai is July to July; also to tho re c, mmendatlon of Mr. Swearlngen about making the term four years, and an increase in -the superintend ent's salary. The superintendent BOW receives $900 annually. Dr. Tripp, pre sident of county trustees association, said Ute association voted unanimous ly ia recommending the very changes suggested by the atete superintend ent He knows that the superintendent la not getting anything near the. right compensation for his work.. He sug gests and tba trustees association sug gests that the superintendent's sal ary be raised to $1.800 per annum.

About 2.30 the meeting was ad journed, after which a conference of < tho delegaUon was held for the pur pose of discussing tho request made ; by Prof. Long. | Mr. Long stated that Greenville has appropriated $1,000; - Spartan burg ' $800; Richland $1.000; Georgetown , $750 and Chesterfield $1,000. Ho said that no science is so complex as ag-I riculture, and especially is a trained man, who has had scientific and prac tical experience, needed new sinoe : farming has reached a transition per- : tod, good from one crop tb diversifi- ; cation. He told how the train ?d dcm- 1 onstr^or could save to the people ot Anderson? county hts salary several times. Ho stressed the importance of having a trained man hero to stamp out hog cholera, to show how lands could be best fertilised and as cheap ly as possible. He stated that he would send a trained man here, not a college boy Just out of college. Mr. Long said that the demonstrator would harp to use the automobile, and that cost ot operating the automobile would great ly reduce' his salary, so that $2.000 would not be a big salary after ail.
