The people seem to be te&Ag the position of The Intelligence!, that thia ls an Inopportune time for bringing up the matter at all. Uesidea ' there ia no need to be in a burry over it, as the present City Council has almost two years to serve before the new plan could become effective, as we under stand that lt cannot serve to oust any officer before li lu term af office ex pires. Another matter is that If this election bc held now and ls defeated it will be two, and possibly four years, before there could be another elec tion, as tho law makes this provision. So we would ask the unknown forcea at work* to withdraw the petition, and let us get through the paving propo rtion, and wc then shall have ample time before the next election for city officers to discuss and carry the elec tion for the comm)seion form of gov ernment. What we need now is street paving, and not a multiplicity of thlngn to de feat any and al) propositions. SHOULD VYOIIK ROADS Anyono who has ever traveled through an unknown country will re I call how troublesome and Irritating lt is to be compelled to stop at every fork lu the road ro as to Inquire for I Information concerning the desired route. And, although advised, it ia aomettmes impossible to proceed with ? any feeling of certainty aa the direc tions given are often insufficient and misleading. "You go about two miles this way and then four .miles that way; then turn ro the left at a white bouse, etc." The farther on another party is liable to advise you different ly and there you are. In passing from South Carolina Into |Oeorgta an autolst is bound to be at tracted by the direction algna which ar? posted at cross-roada along the public highways, in the latter state, If hia experiences were ever ouch ss those just stated, he at once realizes land appreciates the value of auch an ?admirable system. * 8om0 time ago the question of work ing the roads In Anderson county was beta? discussed , here and there, bot the matter was ?con dropped and con. sequeaUy -uD results were obtained. That this achievemen* is needed la this, county, as well aa to tte entire Stabs, is beyond '.question. With the approach of summer and the retara of goad-roads, automobiling* will be come mor? popular and "large nura ber? cf t?-irisca from far and near wilt bo in'evidence. In the meantime the exr^diency and val?e of this pro ject tfould be'ra?lta?d/and efforts made towards materialising it/ The cost of a neat sign at all of tho cross roads la tbs county would be very small and many good resulta would b? obtained therefrom. Why not make Anderson county a pioneer in this wornt VIEL PEOPLE-OTHER PEOPLE We hear a great deal of Ulk tbeas daya about the mill people aa if they Were at alt different from other peo ple- that ts to say the. rest ot us. Wc should like to know if they are not bone of our botte and flesh or our flesh. Did they not come from the same all ot aa came from? Were they nut bred and born ta ?ho country where most of ua were bred and born? Have they not the same needs and the same tm- ; pulses that we all have? Did not many of them follow the plow Just aa vro bavo done. We don't know how other people feet after they -have moved to town, and rubbed a little of the coun try off, but we r.ro proud of our coun try rearing, sad of the fact that we followed tbs plow. It is sn honor able and a very high calling. But why thia distinction? We know why and bow it cam? about. It ls the work ot thc demagogues who care nothing for the good nf tbs people sa a whole. These d?magogues nave not enough merit.to win tn a political contest, and so they divide the peo- j pie, and get them to feet that they ere the friends of a certain class who are wronged by another class. The facts are they care not one lota for say particular clas>, eave sa they may use lt for their own advantages sad preferment. A tong time they worked their scheme by dividing tito town and tbs country people. The wool hat crowd'aa they called tho folks that they wanted to tsar them selves to pieces for tbeas. How they would belabor the town fop I To hear them talk every fellow who lived to town waa a rascal trying to rob every maa who worked a tana and lived ta the country,, ?very body who bad a grain of sena? knew that they were lying; tor these people are fries** and kinsmen, bat ft worked all the same.

MARKET REPORTS The Columbia State la doing a good thing for the producers of the State In quoting the prices paid each day on the markets. This will do much good In equalizing the price? being paid for the products of the farm. It ls a matter, however, that must be j j handled with great care, to keep from | d discriminating against certain mar kets, and the reports made will bear -watching, for it ls considered a good I j thing for any place to have a good | g market, and the "highest in the State." The Intelligencer yeBteraay had an editorial stating that Anderson was one of the leading cotton markets in the State. Thia is .borne out hy the quotations from overy section of the State aa published today In the Colum bia State. The market In Anderson did not get into th?, report, but that j I does nor prevent our knowing at least |1 that the Price paid for cotton in An derson was aa high aa anywhere in the State, and higher than in all but two, markets, and one of them, Monea Path, is in Anderson county. These reports show great disparity In the prices teing paid for staple products. Evidently in. a great many places the farmers are being deprived of a rees- I ' onable and fair price for their pro- j t ducts. This is the work that the depart ment of Commerce and Agriculture should perform. If Col. Ebbie would give his attention to auch mattera and not to "hot air" tours of the State, talking about'things not in his "line," and of which his real knowledge is somewhat limited, the people of the 11 State would not be losing confidence 11 in him and his work. Why has not this been done? Why was lt left for a newspaper to see the importance of such a aystematic daily report? We feel sure that all the papers In the State would be delighted to carry Just such Information, and the taxpayers would not frei at all "sore" If their money should be spent in doing Just this kind of work. As lt is there seems to be only one newspaper in the State ?? that can get anything from this office, t unless it ls copied from this favored 1 newspaper. Quoting from The State: In reports from cotton markets from i 36 South Carolina towna, the prices \ paid for middling cotton varied all thfl r, way from 7 1-2 to 8 1-2 cents a pound. Eight cents was the prevailing price this being paid in 13 of the 25 mar kets. Hones Path and Winnsboro led ia the staple market by paying 8 l-2c. There was a wide variation tn prices for steined grades. The range here' in some markets was from 3c to 6c a pound. In others lt was 4c to 6c; In ?till others 6c to 7c There was a greater disparity in the prices for cotton seed. Easley paid the- highest price for this commodity, ii the farmers there receiving $2 per 10b f (zounds. Mullins ranked. ssond, paying a 9.1.80 per cwt. Hampton paid $1.60. tl In eight other markets, seed brought $1 per cwt. Those were. Clinton, Ches, Q ter, Union, Kershaw, Cheraw, Jones- y ville. Belton and Plckens. u There was a great disparity in prices , of grains, in South Carolina markets E yesterday as in that for cotton and cot- n Ionised' quoted the previous day. v The price for coro ranged from 60c . a bushel to 91.10, three markets, thos?, | of Spartanburg. Clinton and Marlon,1B ??yi?R ino lotter price. It woo from B?mberg that the 60c quotation was mode. The ruling price woo fl. ? Il the wheat market oleo there woo J wida divergence in price?. Three quotations were $3 o buoLul. These were-B?mberg, Johnston and Clinton. * At the opposite end of the scale were tl Ridgeland and Pickano these poy in g li 91.40 a bushel. g There woo notable uniformity In o oats quotations. The ruling price for thia groin was 75c o bushel. Only one Ul market, that ot Manning, paying 85c, s went above this. b It ls difficult to maintain anything li like o Stable market for peas, incident tl to the damaged quality of a large [ percentage ot this commodity. Morion quoted prices os high os 93.50. Several B others gove the range extending front r 91 to 93.35. Belton quoted $3 aa the B price.tor white table peas. Tho ruling price was around $1.60. There waa not aa much variation Ul prices for cottonseed meal aa might hare been expected in view of the range of prices ptud for cotton seed. Hampton was receiving 930 o toa.

HAMPTON**) INAUGURATION t The following very laureating oe- j count ot the Inauguration of Governor I Hampton I? taken from the Newberry j Observer; being colled forth by on ( editorial reference lu The State that there woo a similarity between th? tn- j auguraUon of Manning and Hampton! 1 There woe something alike in the ! two ?vento; both marked new eras ia the state's history, ead the redemp tive ??atare woe conspicuous la both. , Rut there woo no crowd ot the Hamp ton Inauguration. Because of the un certainty then pre voil lng. It woo not known when Hampton would b? tn ouguraed. or whether at all. Th? ?tat? wa? "ht the hand? of the Phil- ! loupes" then; Ulysses 8..Grant wee preement of the United States up to March 4,1177, and in Columbia there woo a garriese ot F?d?ral soldiers, with bayonets upholding Chamberlain and nie radical roberto, et carpet-basj gem end ?calnwaga, Th? legisla tur* had met In December, the Radic?lo ming a small majority, and most ot them wore negroes. In tb? organ Ua . er the house two men wer? elect ed Apeskcr-E, W. M. Mackey of Char BE* ky the Radic?is and Gan. W. H. Wallace of Union 'ey the Dep?rete. Tko Radical speaker ?at et one end, f the speaker's desk; tho Demo?xat c speaker at the other ead the farces f each were lined up in front, and epa ra? e proceedings went on slmul kneously by each faction. When night ame the members slept in the hall in rder to hold possession till the next ay. After a time the Democratic mem era vacated the hall and moved up treet to what waa known aa "Caro ina Hall," 'wtitcft- stood about a bun red feet off the east side of Main treet, nearly in rear of the Wheeler louee, now the Imperial hotel. United itatea soldiers guarded the doors ot he state houae and .the hall pf repre entatives, and to gain admittance to tie hall one must htve a "pass" from Yankee officer. And so there was no certainty of I lie day of tho inauguration. It was | nally eet one day for the next-DeC. 4th. Hundreds of people wanted to go nd would have gone from thia town, nd asked for a special train; but Superintendent Dodamead of the Co umbla & Greenville waited and dul led, and kept hesitating, till the ountry people bad gone home and the ? own people to bed, and then wired p that the special would.come in the arly morning to carry*, .the crowd own. There were no telephones then, nd thc "crowd" trever knew about ir*' nd so next ? morning j very early ' 13 lersons boarded the special of ll cars nd went dowtv to the inauguration. Io other special?. were run in the tate, and there, was no crowd at the nangara I ceremonies,.' which took dace on the platform of the outside roodensteps that led up toto "Carolina fall." where the Wallace Houae held rs legislative session. In tho party, of 12 were W. P. noun al, now of Columbia, and the writer, nd the party anticipating trouble ibout getting back home that night lelegated us two to see Col. Dodamead nd ask him about it. IIe received us deasnntly. but said the proceeds of he special ''would not pay for axle :reuse," and laughingly hoped we vould upend a pleaaant day and night n Columbia-and we did. There was ne train a day each way then on the ?. & G.. now the Southern, and the J. N. & L. had not been beard, of. Houseal and I dined together at The j ?.rom,, on Tuesday and talked over hat famoua trip to Hampton's luau ?uration. Wonder how many of the | 3 are still in the land of the thring, lesldes the two named, I recall Sam I Uchl on. I remember him, and I lever will forget the number of the dewberry crowd, because since that j amous day his Invariable salutation vhen we met has been "Hello, Thlr een!" . I hnvp attended many inaugurations, ncludlng those of Moses, Chamber ain, Hampton. Richardson, Tillman, leyward and Manning. Of all these iona promised greater things for the tate than that of Hampton, tn 1876, nd that of Manning, in 1915. The State waa not disappointed in j lampton, and I am crrvfldent Jl witt j tot be in Manning. iIKIITENANT GOVERNORS WHO | HAVE BECOME GOVERNORA We have several times heard the) omar ic by people of other denom latlons, that the Baptists stick to-1 ether for one of their number lnl a election. Facts easily disprove mt assertion, however. There; are more ' Bapttats In South arallna than all, other denomlna lons combined, and yet. tn all tue | latory of thia State, no Baptist ha-? ver been elected governor. " Two laptista have occupied that exalted osltlon, but both of them became overnor through the resignation of overnora. John C. Sheppard ot Idgefleld. the father ct Mrs. D. D. toColl, Jr., of Bennettsvllle. waa lie -first Baptist governor. He he arne governor after the realguft lon of Gov. HuM' s. Thompson. The second Baptist governor was has. A. Smith of Tlmmonsvill?. Ie served five days, between lie printing of last week's and thia ten? of the Advocate. : He became overnor through the . resignation f Governor Blease. These facts show the fallacy ot tie statement that the Baptists tick together. , They ?ever would ave had a governor ? of - this State t governors of other denom?na teos. ' had not resigned In favor ot | lap tl st lieutenant-governors. And Marlboro county'occupies the ame position as the Baptsts in thia ea peet, although the percentage ot laptista in thia county ts much amat ?r than tn most counties. Marlboro is one of the oldest, most istorlcal. best and most progressive ountlea in ihe State, hut th?. only overnor thia county ever had was Ot elevated to the office ,hy,election. lr. B. K. Henagan of thia county be- | ame governor upon the death of.Gov? mor Patrick Noble tn 1st?: Only two governors ot this State | ave ever resigned. Hugh- S. Thome- j on. who bad also served as State BU ertntendent ot education resigned as j overnor to accept the position ot aa? latent secretary of the treasury, of j He United States under President | loveland's first administration. It ls a coincidence that the only sro lieutenant governors who have ecome governors throagh the re Ignation ot other governors, were &e only two Baptists who have ev r been governor. Only two lieutenant govof wyr* have I eeesne governors on acocant ?.t the oath ot governors. The fast one wes I. B. Mcsweeney, who ire&eded tu**? he position after the death; o%. Gov. V. H. Bllerbe, whose widow and hlldrea now reside In Bennettsvllle. ne other one waa Dr. Heaagan. It i a coincident that the original name f hta family was sweeney.

SPTOT CASH CF?o?,,,t /^ Thc Store with a Conscience1 .: lili' ? 1 - the Revolution, one ot the Sweeneys and Bom o other boys, la a youthful ?acapade, raided a fowl house one night, in search of a " tender spring chicken for a midnight feast Sweeney stood outside to receive the chicken from hla companion inside. Sweeney examined the fowl and pronounced it an old hen, which necessitated another trial. This WM repeated sev eral times and each t'me Sweeney said, "An old hen again.'* The ' ex pedition was finally abandoned"l?1 dis guet, and Sweeney's expression had been so often repeated that the boys ever afterward called him "Hen -again," and ne became known es | John Sweeney He&sjjpan..
