It ts well ?hat the high and sacred office of governor go through a refin ing process before being passed on to j Gerernor~el?et Manning. -o One of the advantages of having a! .neeta! commisslou to handle tbs par-j In? matter, is that those gentlemen selected at largo and composing tbs majority ot tbs committee are not in j pollues. ? ?? o "Aa Revoir, Coley." says the Green wood Journal.

We trust you meant: G-o--o-d N-~l-g-h-t, Having done everything ander the sun human mind could conceive to make hi? administr?t ton as governor spectacular. Cole sprang a big one at the very ond by resigning ave days before bis term expired. STREET PAYIXtil-YES, Eclipsing every other subject for onversatiou yesterday was the mat er of tho street paving commission Dd the effects the appointment of the ommiBfllon would hare upon the re nns of the election. There was con lderanie disappointment on the part f many that Alderman Harton wa? ot elected us a member of this com lisslon, on account of his experience i handling such matters, and his good usiness Judgment, and there were ?any who thought the matter of so acting the chairman of the commls lon should have been left to the tom lisslon after they had organized, 'here seemed, however, to be general atlsfaction over the personnel of the ommisslon selected and it is believed dat If the election carries some good rork will be done. # The Intelligencer, as was stated in n editorial yesterday, ls of the opln >n that the gentlemen selected will o faithful and conscientious work, nd that there saould he no question f defeat for tho elections to be held hortly on the ratification of the abut ing property law, and tho consequent ond issue to.make thia law available. Tie paramount need for Anderson J-eA ow ls street paving, and to secure his the citizens must pull together, t will be impossible for anything to e done that will exactly suit every erson Interested. A give and take olicy must be adhered to, and if one as a pct sctteme that ho falls to get ecognlzed and acted upon, he should ot sit down and do nothing. The plan elected means disappointment to ome one's else scheme, M Anderson has been noted for doing he thing that means permanent loss a many instances. We need only refer o Winthrop College, and to the propo sion to have the main line of the j louthern railroad come through An erson. These propositions were great ritb possibilities for growth and de elopment for Anderson, yet a short Ighted policy defeated them, and the bes has been keenly felt. The same esult waa almost secured in regard o the franchise matter, but fortunate y this was averted and Anderson can till be called "The Electric. City/' lie condition which confronts the city oday, as regards street paving is as in portant as any ot these other- move ments, and means much to the future Towtb and development of the city,, nie secretary of the chamber ot com merce states that several 1 residents lave been lost because of the muddy ondition of the streets. Northern capi allsts and tourists are going to turn heir attention to the South in in reasing numbers, and if Anderson resents an up-to-date appearanceout tde capital will he attracted, and the Towth of the city will be continuous, hit this cannot he done unless the leople pull together. We will pull to other, end it will r*su!t IE src?i gcod o Anderson-and in paving at least 5 miles of streets. PLAYING POLITICS It ls a great pity that one has to play politics" In order to bo a euc essful "politician." When a question ornes up for discussion, or tor action, he politician must think of the effect ila re macks or vote will hare on those rho have the power to' elect. A man annot be a man and he a modern politician." The man who plays pon ies Is like the cam?l?on-takes thb ?olor ot tho. thing upon which it itands. Tho voice of tho people must te his firist concern,and he will express ta opinion afterward. No great leader ?an be a' politician. The man who can ead ls he who can mould opinion, and th ape the action ot those with whom ie comes in contact. There are "busi tess politicians'' the same as the cf ice-seoktng, kind. Let a public ques lon come up and he will not express tn opinion because!he fears lt will 'drive business away from my store." flave you ever aeon,ope ot these-sp!no ess creatures? lt is time? for modern nought and modern thinkers to abro rate to the rear these parasite/ upon ,he thought and tba performance ot to-" lay. We have not .room for them. Hon esty demands that they., be eliminated hom our public life and from our private life. Are there atty In Ander son? BSr?BE'AjflS? ATTER Scent I.~-A perspiring crowd ot citi seua possessing th* right to vote. A speaker upon' the platform enumerat ing the many reasons he is the best man for tho "job." He makes numer ous promises as to what he will do If elected. He will safeguard every in terest of hts constituents, and will work in season and oat ot season tot their good. . He will economise, ead save every penny for the taxpayer? possible. He will even perform nome reel work to save a salary. Scene H.-The election ia over and iii? v???i??Ut~-*?? promising candi date-is elected.1 The time has con? tor htm, to perform some ot hts prom iftd e eta. It seems that It is not as easy as it seemed wheo tn the heat o. oratory he made th?s promise. So th? people will hardly mind lt lt ta not 'performed. They nave abort momoric: anyway, and they will not recall any 0? thu political promise?. If they do recall them they will not hold him to strict accountability-the, promises wore made to catch votes. Have there been any of these per formances in Anderson? ?ov. CHARL*: A. SMITH Gov. Charles A. Smith, until yes terday lieutenant governor of South Carolina, will rightfully discharge his duties in that ofllce, for five days, if he sits quietly on the lld until Gov ernor Manning is inaugurated. This pardon phobia that has seized South Carr.lii:a ls not going to bc stopped abruptly, not oven with the change of governors, and already petitions are being rushed In to Cover nor Smith. Cases from this city and this county are gotng to be carried before him, and so great lian become the excitement anions those seeking executive clemency they are going to expect him to take ac tion. We tako lt that Governor Smith will act In none of these, hutmill simply file all such requests for" tho consideration of his successor, who will assume the duties of the office, to which bc was elected by the peo ple, next Tuesday. That will be the course pursued no doubt. Of course, lt would be asking too tiiuch to suggest that Governor Smith withstand the temptation to ring in a message or so to the legislature-for why ls a legislature, If not for the reception ot gubernatorial messages but If he confines himself to state wide prohibition, which waa thc prin cipal plank of his platform in the campaign for governor last summer, no harm will be dono. In other words, governor, make yourself perfectly at home in the parlor, but don't go poking around and interfering wltb the help. Just walk around and look at the pictures on the wall. Enjoy yourself. The boss will be In a minute.-Spartan burg Herald. A SERIOUS JOLT The late governor ought not to have put that jolt In the way ot the ?water wagon. Just at the time of year when men* are doing all sorts ot equilibrium stunts in an effort to .tay aboard, and are made to totter and lean every time a shadow is run over, he comes forward with his re signation and thus places a great boulder in the path of said vehicle. Ii ls unreasonable to expect any aqua I charlot ever fashioned to run over lench SB that without serious conse quences to tho . passengers.-Oreen I ville News. THANKS The Anderson Intelligencer started Us second year yesterday. It is a newsy, clean, forceful paper and de serves success.-Greenville Piedmont. a . ooooooooooooooooo o OUR DAILY POEM o The Lie You Live.
