BEGINNING OF VOLUME II Thc first year in the life of The Anderson Intelligencer came to a close yesterday, and today ushers In the beginning of Volume II. The editorial ihove was Ute introduction Editor Banks made to the public, and set before the paper some high ideals of ee?rlce. How well this service has been performed, we shall leave for our readers to say. Launched with the best wishes of numerous friends and 'expressions of congratulation from the Nation's Chief, Pres. Woodrow Wilson, and from the Governor ot -South Carolina, besides numerous others who were kind enough to applaud tho en terprise of the people of "The Electric City" in launching a morning dally. Ibo intelligencer has tried to live up to the Ideals set before lt os a daily newspaper. The year has been an eventful one in the history of the world, und of Anderson county, to say nothing of the Dally Intelligencer. The first paper issued under the heading of the Anderson Intelligencer appeared on Tuesday afternoon, August 14, 7860. It was edited by J. C. C. Featherston and Jas. A. Hoyt, under Ute partnership title of Featherston lib Hoyt and was published, according to the announcement on the front page, at "Anderson Court Houue." The paper waa a four-page six-column publication and stated at the top of the column on the front page that lt was an "Independent Journal De voted to Politics, Literature, News, Morals; Agriculture, Art and Science." The Intelligencer asks the co-operation and patronage ot the friends .vii? have stuck to lt during ita first infancy. Now that lt ls shedding its ?waddling clothes, and becoming such a lusty Infant, we ask that the con tinued support and influence of Its infantile friends. Bidding fair to devel op Into a power for usefulness to the community if the purposes of Us founders and publishers are adhered to, it asks a respectful bearing for its view, The Intelligencer will endeavor al WP vS .to ne rlgbt^Jrat fto err ls human, and we do not elah? Infallibility. We recognise that alone a news paper can do little, but aided by the people ot Its community lt can do great rood. May we not have the assistance and support dr all those who wish Jor.Ai>di,rBP? ,Sr prosperous fmlire, and for tho Piedmont the prosperity she deserves? The Intelligencer will bo found in the future, as In tho past, battling for those things lt thinks ls right, without fear or favor. THE ???B.TK1M FLASK One of the most, pronounced phases of the comment that has been started by President wilson's IhdlanspolU speech on Jackson Day is that lu re gard to the "one-term" plank tn the Baltimore platform upon which Mr. Wilson was elected lu 1912.. Oppon ents of the administration have as sumed, in the face of Mr. Wilson's disavowal of any such meaning, that his remarks at Indianapolis show con clusively that he expects to bo a can unrn?? ?B?ui iii IS*S. il lo uiiunpuriuui whether his remark ls so construed jr not, for it ls perfectly apparent timi no other man will be allowed by the Democrats to held first place on their tlckot in 101 ?. Woodrow Wilaon is sure to be renominated, and apparent ly his re-election is almost equally certain. But the Insidious effort of his op ponents ls to make it appear that by accepting a renomination ho will bc violating tho Baltimore platform's pledges. Some of the opposing ..'papers declare, with characteristic and- con summate pr?judice, that that platform baa already been ignored and violated in many respects-espelcally on tho canal tolls proposition. Therefore, they argue, lt make no difference what inst platform said, tho Democrats will do as tbs political exigencies of the situation In 1916 may demand, i Tte .?j-called ''on?-term** plank ot the Democratic platform of 1912 was a declaration tn favor of a constitu tional amendment limiting the'ionuro of office of President to one term. It ls as absurd to say that the party, or Its nominee, ls bound to put that plank into force, as it world be to say that Democrats, all these years, should have been compelled to pay an income tax because their Vlatforms have de clared fer a constitutional amend ment making possible auch tax. Until thai amendment was ratified, no one ?rae fool enough, even In the Republi can party, to suggest that the Dem? crata should pay an tac?te* tax, whlto members ot other parties which had (uot declared for such un amendment should not be rcqelrJd to pay the tax. Just ?o, lt ts not coatended by any hokes* and fair-minded maa ?hat the President, heraus* his party declared in favor of a constitutional uf*!>4 meut limiting a President to one term, shall not be a candidate for a second |er?a,'The abrurettty of the argument Is shewn by the ?act that neither Mr. 'Taft nor Mr. Roosevelt ls precluded j tr?a seeking dr obtaining a reaomiaa .:. n or .election, hut only ,Mr. WU ant! ?J?? Democrats aro willing tn stam? by lt-that the Constitution should bo so amended that no man can be re-elected to the Presidency. Until there is such an smendment to the Constitution, rat'"ad by three fourths of the stutts, lt is foolish to talk about any man of any party be ing precluded, legally or morally, from seeking renomination and re-election to the Presidency. ooooooooooooooooooo I OUB DAILY POEM o P . 9000000000000000000 Walk Softly, Friend.

The governor says that he deem? lt necessary to, spy Very little a? his time expires lu u few days. Thc gov ernor takes credit for having killed the cotton bond issue which occupied so much time of thc extra session and which he refers to as "monstrous," and also takes credit, along with the comptroller general for extending th' time for the payment of taxes unt' February 1. A bitter attack is made on the farm demonstrators. "The farmers," Bays the message, "who are thc backbone of the State, are treated as if they wore a set of ignoramuses, or plain fools, lo be be explicit and emphatic. There are now being .sent around over the State people called 'farm demonstrators' who aro being paid large salaries out of . thc tax payers pockets, and who are giving absolute ly uo return for the money. The very idea of a man being paid a salary and his expenses to go around and tell the {armers tue necessity for them to plant grain, to raise hogs, to diversi ty crops!" He claims that these men lu many instances use their offices for political purposes, that their fam ilies are riding around in palace cars, and "yet w- Sud no man In either branch of tue general assembly who has the political courage to arise and denounce lt." He repeats his often expressed charge that the State Insti tutions are being supported entirely too extravagantly. The. governor ls very proud of the Medical College of South Carolina. The governor claims that he fore saw thc present 'depressed business conditions confronting the State and that is why he vetoed so many appro-' pri?t ion bills and warned thc general assembly against extravagance. He claims that he knew tho Federal gov ernment would not help* the farmers of the State and said these who held J out this hope .lest aumrder did it for political reasons and to fool thc peo ple. Ho quotes figures, to show the State's prosperity as an answer to the charge that .his election' would ruin tho State. The. governor claims that his administration has been economi cal, calling attention to.the fact that money was borrowed at 3 1-2 per cent, tho lowest rate o-/or known. Tho . governor recommends liberal support of the common.schools. . Much attention is given to what the governor declares is tho Federal en croachment on State rights and quotes from Robert v. Hayne,-Justice Li. Q. C. lamar, Thoa . Jeff creon. Patrick Henry, In their well known stand for State-rights, and Utan, asks, "Who ia Stealing power from the States and adding strength to ttjo Federal gov ern merit" today? "Can lt be possible that," he says, "under the lead of a man sometimes called a Southe; ner, the Democratic party ls to become the Dar ty that ls 'stealing power from the States' and giving lt td the Federal government, and that the republican party, under the lead of a Hughes or a Whitman, ls to become the States' Rights party and stop this 'stealing of power' spoken of by Dr. Hayne?" .The attitude of the Southern mem bers of congress today* la. pointedly mentioned by the governor with dis approval. "I desire," he saya, "to call yonr attention to that part of my an nual message ot lui4 which dealt wtth this grave question. Since that time more power bas been 'stolen' from the States, and given to the Federal gov ernment, and more of thia power is now sought to be 'stolen.' And. to the surprise of those who loved and fought ror the Southern Confederacy, and those of n later generation who dow b>ve Its meteor/, and hold sac red the cause for which the Southern armies battled, we, find many of those whose fathers and brothers? yea. some who themselves fought for this cause, and who themselves today owe' their Uves and freedom to lt. now taking part m this 'stealing ot power* aa de scribed by Mr. Hayne.

Cod forbid lt. We love the cause too dearly.

A representative of the chamber of commerce returned yesterday from Clemson College, where he was In cor terence with officials of the Bureau of Markets and Mr. W. W. Ljug .State agricultural agent, with regard to working out plans to move the grain ? crop in Anderson county this year. Clemson College estimates that 65,00? acres have been planted in wheat and \ oats alone In this county this year. Of ficials of tho Bureau of Markets sent ! direct fi om Washington, have gone | over the situation and arc of the opin ion that something must ho worked j out at once to handle the crop.

Later on when tbe corn crop comes In, a sheller will be installed. To do thin will require the organization of a grain company with about $5,000.00 capital which company Will purchase the. grain from the Term er, and sell the same to milling con cerns In the Virginias, Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, and, make ex porte . via. ibo ports sf Norfolk and Charleston. Such company will pay for tho grain in cash, selling on . each day's market. There will bc ne specu lation. It wm bo recommended that instead of faking Block in the grain elevator that samp bo taken in tho grain com pany, which should.undoubtedly pay a large dividend. It ls believed there will bo no troube experienced In getting the subscribers to the grain elevator stock to direct s?me lo thc grain com pany. Trite whole matter will come.up be fore a special meeting ot the Agricul tural Committee of the chamber of commerce in the njxt few days. --? v " : 1 11111 Escaped Convict?
