The people of Anderson and of the entire county baye Just been congratulating themselves that every Cotton mill In Anderson was running on full time, and that the wages being paid the operatives would go far towards keep ing np trade, conditions snd business in and around Anderson. Now this hope has been shattered and a atrlke ls on. Hut drods of families are thrown out of employment and if this I condition ls allowed to continue, suf fering will be sure to follow. It la to be deplored that something could not have been done to avert the strike. It will.be much more to be deplored If nothing can he'done to stop it The Intelligencer does no? wish in this editorial to t^vo anything to aay as to the right and the wrong of thia disagreement between the officials of the mill arid the striking weavers. Each side, of course, thinks it ls right, and must think so strongly to mata*, tain Ita position ns they are doing. What we i$?f?ft?<lo Ia to call at tention to the-fact that tho commun ity alBO has" some ftghtj, and that it ia a duty befallet to this disagree ment owe to tho community to make earnest and conscientious efforts toi settle their differences, so that work j may be resumed, and the consequent suffering end !-?sss ?Vjjided. Tho civic life of Andera?.'cannot afford to have thia Industrial plant shut down at thia time, and a Vglve and take" policy should be pursued on both sides. So we confidently expect ".nd hope! that reason will prevail and that the disagreement will prove only tempo rary. If there isa desire to bc "bull headed" on tho part of any connected in any way with this unfortunate dis agreement let those who feel this way ateo aside and aiiow cool and disin terested persons to- adjudicate the matter. The cotton mills of thia sec tion have been,,very f**e from dif ferences of opinion resulting in strikes, and we trust thia is only a temporary cessation of work, and that we shall have but little more of it now or at any time. FARM PLANNING. If each farra in any community isl clean, tidy, and well kepi, presenting a thrifty, home-life appearance, the whole neighborhood will be atractivo to visitors add satisfying to residents. Local and county fair boards might create a very valuable farm improve ment habit by offering a liberal prise for the beat planned farm in a neigh borhood'or In a county. "Have the rocka on thia place been I hydrated?" asked a Florence editor of j one of the college professors. "Tool much expert knowledge for a mere ? newspaper man." remarked another. '.Shortly, yo? hate shown ua every thing in your department but the brewery," aa?4 an editor from the City of Distress to the genial chef at Clemson, aft ?r being shown the Ira menae feeding plant of the college. "No, I have not shown it to yon, bat ore have one," was the reply. The Spartanborg editor went thirsty. "I do not like to give the news to the student? tomorrow morning at j chapel," announced Prof. Harper. "There are too many newspaper hero j to ant? me," he continued. Rut, he was at hts poet and gave the news cf the day before In succino form. It was remarked afterward that . his news stories were every blt ss accurate asl those being sent oat from Berlin, or j Petrograd. CLEMSON COLLEGE AM? TUE EDI* TORS. Thc editor of The Intelligencer, sioux Willi the willoi ?> ul several uther daily newspapers of th? Hinte, wan present ut Clemson College yesterday and the day beton- atteudiug the meet, lug of the farm d?monstration agents, which v. us held there this week. If the farm demonstrator? were rank failure; lu their counties, they cer tainly did not fail to show that they could "demonstrate" to "beat the banu" before the bunch of editors who drank In what they said as if it i [were delicious Clemson College but termilk. President Higgs, and several of tho profess-ors had the editors In tow sev eral hours before they would let th? demonstrators gel at them, and so much ttint lo tlie scribes was new and wonderful had been seen, that the editors were easy marks lu Ur. I^mi; and lila assistants, winn they were turned over to them to be salted away. It wau wonderful. The college and thu eight hundred boys being trained there to do the work of the Stute when their terms are over, is an ever in creasing deicht to those who occas ionally see th?? college and the hoys. The enthusiasm and the deep earneBt nras, coupled with the accurute and trustworthy Information possessed by those who are revolutionizing the science of agriculture In South Caro lina, created a deep and lusting Im pression on the newspaper men, and they understand this uplifting move ment bettor than they could ever have done in reading and Btudylng of the work ut long range. Prof. Long, who has charge of the work In the State la a master at bia work. Ile remind ed this editor nf tho great band mas ter Kryl, or Sousa, standing before his agents with a gavel In his hand, and by a word or look calling from this great or that at lila pleasure, a recital ot the work he had done tn some particular line. The real purpose of.tho conference between the editors of the dally news, papers and the demonstration agents, was to devise moans hy which each could be more helpful to the other. Every demonstrator, unhesitatingly J stated that he Considered tho coopera tion of tho newspapers un Invaluable asset to his work. The newspaper editors stated that they believed trie work belog done by these demonstra tor* of the greatest Importance, and we re willing to cooperate with them ; In every way possible to spread their gospel of better farming. Some' really helpful suggestions were made on each Bide, andean effort will be made to build up a news feature of the w ork so thal, concrete examples of j what is being done in every county in I th State may be.available to the news paper*. Thia will doubtless bc < handled through the demonstrators direct, .in a large .-'measure, and through the State headquarters at ; Clemson College, t A system of reporta with: special mention of meritorious 1 work will doubtless be arranged, and I from these reporta Prof. Long will cull what will be helpful to every county and forward thia to the news papers. :; It was a great meeting. It is evi dent that the greatest constructive work tn South Carolina Jua now ia be ing done by. Dr. Long and his corps of able aeslsanta. who are using auch sound and logical methods to reach ' the people who need to be reached, and to help them to help themselves. Tho figuren In Prof. Longs annual re port were astounding. His work cost ] a total of 154,000, two-thirds of which j was contributed by the National gov ernment, and resulted In a profit to j the people; bf tho State of $2.500.000. Th?4 total is made up by auch Items j 'as this:. Demonstrators mixed at the | homes of ?armero 22S.0?? tons of com mercial fertiliser at a saving to the termers of $4 per ton. Twenty one thousand eight hundred forty-five tresa pruned and sprayed: $34.131 ot poultry and eggs sold through demon strators. Corn yields raised from 8 or 9 bushels to 35 Or 45 bushels per. acre. Wheat acreage increased otev 200 per cent In a year; 98,200 aerea of cover crops planted; 198,240 pounds of vetch and clover teed saved by the farmers j for future planting, etc. etc The press of the State not stand! behind sacha movement! As well ex-i pect the ann to cease to shine. Charleston has a wann admirer ead ! a strong defender tn the person ot the librarian of Clemson College. Misc Anne Porcher engaged several ot the editors in a wurry war Oh the subject of how to enforce law in Charleston. She is so ardent an admirer of the etty by the Sea that she challenges all comers, but she could hardly de fend the report that Charleston's may or and a prominent business man went down the aisle of the State house arm In arm in order to defeat the prohibi tion referendum "You are simply in. corrigible," was as.far as she could go. The inspection of the obi home ot John C. Calhoun waa one ot tho enjoy able features of the visit' of the edi" tors at Clemson College, Many ar ticles ot furniture associated with thia t . great man are kept in hie old borne and are viewed by many perso rt?. An old sofa with caglea ornamenting the aide?, ia said to be where the eagle on the (direr dollar eame from. It1 waa auggeated that someone prouuce ? a dollar and aee if the likeness were accurate, hut not au editor had that much coln of the realm on his person, "on accour* of tho war." KIM TO lt S OFF DUTY. The editors at Clemson College found several hundred ordinary cab bage plants in "individual" pots. "Too aristocratic," said Editor Brimson. "If the farmer finds thia out, he will stop his son from attending such a high flaut?n' school," declared this Green ville editor, on being shown over on of the ?'ot houses at Clemson College.

(CONTINUED FIIO.M PAOE ONE.) it in thc form ip which lt ls here cast. "The literacy test and the tests and restrictions which accompany it con stitute an even more radical change in the policy of the nation. Hither to we have generously kept our doora open to all who were not unfitted by reason of disease or incapacity for self support or such personal records and antecedents as -were likely to make them a menace to our pesce end order, or to the wholesome and essential relationships of life. In this bill it. is proposed to turn away from tests ot character and of quality, and to. Impose tests which exclude and restrict; for the new teata here em bodied/are not testa'of quality or at character or of personal fitness, but tests 'of opportunity. Those who ' come seeking opportunity are. not to oe admitted unless tuey nave already ? had ono of the chief of the opportun-j Hies they seek-the opportunity of education. The object of such provis- j iona is .restriction, not selection. "If the people of this country have n.r.Ue rip their minda to limit the number of Immigrants by arbitrary, tests hbd so reverse the policy of all Hie generations of Americans that have gone before them, it is their right tit do so. I am their servant : and''nave no llcenso to stand in their ' way. But 1 do not believe that they 1 have. ' I respectfully submit, that no ene can quote their mandate to that effect. Has any political party ever avowed a policy of restriction in this fundamental matter, gone to the country noa it, and beec commission ed ' to control its legislation? Does this bill rest upon the conscious and universal assent and desire ot the American people? I doubt it. It ia 4 doubt it that I make bold " from it, I am willing to k the verdict, but not until it _ iderod. Let the pint ie bf parties speak out upon this policy end the people pronounce their wish.
