The people of Anderson and. of the entire county have Just been congratulating themselves that every cotton mill In Anderson waa running on full time, and that the wages being paid the operatives would go far towards keep ing up trade, conditions and business in and around Anderson. Now this, hope has been shattered and a strike ls on. Hundreds of families are thrown out ot employment and if thia condition ia allowed to continue, suf fering will ba sore to follow. It is 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 IL The Intelligencer dees not wish In thia editorial to haye .anything to say aa to the right and the wrong of this disagreement between the officials of the mill and. the striking weavers. Each aide, of course, thinks lt Is tight; and must think so strongly to main? tain Ita position as they are doing. What we wish to do ia to call at tention to Uah fj;st fjial the commun ity also baa some tights, and that lt ls a duty bo^sJoWto this disagree ment owe to tho community to mako ?Arnes? aa? < <m-?ieuii?oua ??Torta to settle their differences, so that work may be resumed, and the consequent suffering and.loss avoided. The civic life of Anderson cannot afford to have thia industrial plant shut down at this time, and a "give and take" policy should be pursued on both sides. So we confidently expect and hope that reason will prevail and that the disagreement will prove only tempo rary. If there la a desire to be "bull headed" on the part of any connected in any way with thia unfortunate dis agreement let those who feel thia way atep aside and allow cool and disin terested persona to adjudicate the matter. The cotton milla of Uris, sec tion have been ; very free from dif ferences of opinion resulting in strikes, and we trust thia ts only a temporary cessation ot work, and that! we shall have but little more of it now or at any time. FARM PLANN I Nt;. If each farm in any community ia clean, tidy, and well kept, presenting a thrifty, home-life appearance, the whole neighborhood win be atractiva to visitors add satisfying to residents, j Local and county fair boards might create a very valuable farm improve ment habit hy offering a liberal prise for the best planned farm In a neigh borhood or In a county. ?Itt-?w? ~~ _._,_ . ?.?. .?.. vu vino |/ia\.v> ?.,r> hydrated7" asked a Florence editor of ons of the college professors. "Too much expert knowledge for a mere newspaper man." remarked another. ''Shortly, yon have shown us every thing in your department but the brewery," said an editor from the City ot Distress to the genial chet at Clemson, after being shown the Im mense feeding plant of the college. "No. I have hot shown lt to yon, bat we heve one," was the reply. The BpartanburjK editor went thirsty. "I do cot like to give the newe to the students tomorrow morning at chapel," announced Prof. Harper. 'There are too many newspaper bare to ault me." he continued.

B*TlJj?vOt Petrograd.* CLEM?O.N COLLEGE ASI? TUE EDI TORS. Th? editor ot Th? Intelligencer, along willi the editor* of several other dally newspapers of the State, WBH present ul Clemson College yesterday and the day bet?re attending the meet, lug of the farm demonstration agents, wnioj, was held there this week. If the farm demonstrators were rank failures in their counties, they cer tainly did not fall to show that they could "demonstrate" to "beat th? band" before the bunch of editors Who drank In what they said as if lt were* delicious Clemson College but termilk. President Higgs, and several of the professera had the editors in tow sev cal hours before they would let thc demonstrators gel at them, and so much that to th? scribes was new and wonderful had been seen, that th? I editors wer? easy marks to Dr. I .ou g and hi.? assistants, when they were turned over to them to be salted away. It was Wonderful, Thc college and tho eight huudred boys being trained thore to da the work of the Stat? when their terms are over, ia an ever in creasing delight to those who occas ionally see the college and the boys. The enthusiasm and the deep earnest ness, coupled with the accurate und trustworthy information possessed by those who are revolutionizing the science of agriculture in South Caro lina, created a deep and lasting im pression on the newspaper men, and they understand thia uplifting move ment better than they could ever have done in reading and studying of the work at long rangt?. Prof. I^ong. who haa charge of the work in the State la a master at his work. He remind ed this editor nf the great band mas ter Kryl, or Sousa, standing before bis sgents with a gavel in his hand, and by a word or look calling from this great or that at his pleasure, a recital of the work he had done in some .?articular Una Tterreal purpose of, Jheconference between the editors of the dally nows papers and the denionstratton agents, was to devise means by which each could be more helpful "to the other, livery demonstrator unhesitatingly stated that he considered 'he coopera tion of the newspapers un invaluable asset to his work. 'The newspaper editora stated that they believed the work belog done by these demonstra tors of the greatest importance, and v.-?ru willing, to cooperate with them in every way possible to spread their gospel of better farming. Some really helpful suggestions were made on each side, and an effort will be made lo build up a news feature of the j w ork BO . that concrete examples of what !? bein- deas" la every county in th State may be.available to the news papers. This wtll doubtless be handled through the demonstrators ?it;cvi. its s 1H??<? measure, and through the Sf tc headquarters at Cit oison College. A system of reports with special mention of meritorious work will doubtless be arranged, and from th?se, reports Prof. Long will cull 'what will be helpful to every county and forward this to the news papers. It was a great meeting. It is o vi- (.* dent that the ?reatest constructive work in South Carolina jus now ia be ing doa? by. Dr. Long and bia corps of able asslsants, who are using such aound and logical methods to reach the peuple who need to be reached, and tb help them to help themselves. Tho figures In Prof. Long's annual re port were astounding. His work cost a total of $54,000. two-thirds of which was contributed by thu National gov ernment, and resulted In a profit to the people of tho State of $2,500,000. Tht<j total.is made up by such items aa this:/Demonstrators;mixed at the homes of farmers 22ft,000 tons of com mercial fertiliser at a saving to the farmers of $4 per ton. Twenty one thousand eight hundred forty-five trees pruned and sprayed; $34,131 of poultry and eggs sold through demon-, at rato r?. Corn yields raised from 8 or 9 bushels to SS or 45 bushels per acre. Wheat acreage increased over 200 per cent In a year; 984100 acres of cover crops planted; 198.240 pounds of vetch and clover seed saved by tho farmers -- . I - ~ ->il ?.?#. i?ratv 1MB . > >. . *>%v~. The press of the State not stand behind such a movement! Aa well ex pect the aun to cease to shine. Charleston has a warm admirer and a strong defender in the person of the librarian of Clemson College. Miss Anne Percher engaged several of the editors In a worry wsr on the subject of how to enforce law in Charleston. She is so ardent an admirer of the City by the Sea that she challenges sil comers, but she could hardly de fend the report that Charleston's may or and s prominent business man went down the aisle of the State house erm 10 arm in order to defeat the prohib? tlon referendum. "You are simply in corrigible," was as far as she could The inspection of the old home of John C. Calhoun waa one ot tho enjoy able features of the visit of the edi tors at Clemson College. Many ar ticles of furniture associated with this great mao are kept in bis old home and are viewed by many persone. An old sofa with eaglee ornamenting the aides, is said to be where the eagle on the ?liver dollar came from. It1 was suggested that someone produce j a dollar and see if the likeneas were accurate, but not au editor had that much colu of the realm on his person, "on account of tho war." EDITOKH OFF DUTY. The editors at Clemson College found several hundred ordinary cab bage plant? in "individual" pots. "Too aristocratic," said Editor Brimson. "If the farmer finds this out, he will stop his son from attending auch a high flaut?n' school," declared thia Green ville editor, on being shown over on of the hot houses at Clemson College.

"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 doors open to alt 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 peace and order, or to the whole? jme and essential relationships of life. In thia bill it, la proposed to turn away from tests or. character and of quality, and to. impose tests which exclude and restrict; for the new testa here em bodied/are not tests'of quality or of character or of personal fitness, but tests of opportunity. Those who come Becking opportunity are not to bo admitted unless tney nave already i had ono of the chief of the opportun- ? lties ' they seek-the opportunity ot education.
