Anderson County will not bc ono whit hohind tho city when lt comos lo Improving Its highways of travel. Elsewhere in this Issue will he found the <opy of the hill which will he pas.ied hy the legis lature provldiiiR for a bond is.me for building per manent roads throughout the county. In a month's time we shall have a chant e to speak on this Im portant matter, and we believe that the verdict on litis eouiiiy bond issue will be as unanimous as will Hie verdict of the people of Anderson who will vote on the matter of a bond Issue for paving the street? of the city. In this matter as In the paving com mission for thc city, progressive and competent tuen have been named as commissioners, and thus the county will be assured a wisc and progressive policy in handling thia large sum of money. Greenville County will have $1,000,000 to expend on her roads, and Richland will have $1,250.000. Anderson will make splendid progress with the three-quarters of a million dollars she will hav*?. This sum and what will he available In the city will make approximately $1.000,000 to be expended for highway improvement in thin county during the next year. Employment will be furnished people, and money will be put in circulation which will aid business generally. The provision in the act pro viding that wjrk shall bc done simultaneously in all the townships of the county, so that all sections will benefit at the same time, and give the entire county some good roads. Of course this sum will not build permanent highways all over the county. With the amount to be voted there should be built at least 250 miles, possible 200 miles or macadam or surraced roads, and this number of miles will put a good road In reach of every citizen of the county, and will traverse the county with all the principal roads. The following benefits to be derived from good roads are set forth by E. J. Prescott of Wise County. Va., who wro.j in the Manufacturers Record or what was accomplished in his county by the expenditure bf $1,100.000 for prcmanent roads: Benefits, briefly stated, are: 1. Increased value of farm lands. 2. Reduced cost of transporting farm pro ducts to market, as well as reduced cost in all kinds or hauling. 3. Benefits to furnier? In a social way. 4. Has enabled a large number of our citi zens to own their homes and to go to and from their work on bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles and buggies. The benefits to our working people can hardly be overstated. Hundreds ot thc men working at the coal mines have purchased small tracts of land several miles from their ' places of work, have built their own homes 1 and find time to cultivate a small ac reage In addition to their dally work. 6. Has materially benefited our public schools, 1908-enrollment, 6,900; attedanco, . 46 per cent.; 1913-enrollment. 8,501; atten dance,. 65. per cent.; 1908-number of build ings, 79; 1914-number of buildings, 74, Thia increased attendance is attributed by our county school superintendent In a lsrge rnea*'*r*'to our now road system; 6. The Improvement in the properties along our highways ls very gratifying. Tho farmers sud otber property owners are build ing better fences and painting them, from buildings are being improved, the old fence corners cleared out and the whole county ls putting or: ?jew life. While this -mprovemcnt is only In Its beginning, lt ls already, so marked that one would hardly recognize the " county as (he aame. ^7.* Benefit to the coal operator!'.-Officials rn cahtfBs?eh thc -plants In one-fourth tho time lt formerly took, and even more than this, the. Improvement In the living conditions of the employes has already proved of -great value to the operators. When a workingman ls so sltustcd that he can own hts own home he is worth two of the class of men who chango about from plant to clent and never ' get really settled. 8. Tho actual pleasure to everybody of bo lng able to drive or ride or oven walk along a beautiful highway cannot be expressed In doliera and cents. The ox team, which ...^.d to be the prevail ing draft animal In Tclse County, has already disappeared from our highways. OFFICIAL INCOMPATIBILITY. There ls no sympathy between the office of the rovernor and the attorney general's office. That ls ?lain. There Is absolute lack of sympathy; the in ompatlhlllty ls evident. Every Ideal and purpose if the governor seems to find its antithesis In the ither office. The governor's office is la need of legal advice erquently. It must be advice that ls correct and rbolsesome. If the governor should err, be would ie held responsible by the people.of the State. The rovernor ls chosen to administer the laws, not to ut er pr?t them. * But. ?hen hts common sense and business Judg ment and conscience tell bim that the law should * construed thus and so. and the attornsv aen ral'a office gives opinions contrariwise, is lt hut atural for the governor to loee confidence In the udgment of the office that construes the law. One of the speakers In the discussion in the leg ilature Friday night declared that the law ls tho sw and there is hut one way to construe lt. The martest lawyer who has ever been assistant jaw ey general. Judge C. P. Townsend of Bennett.wllle. nee wrote an opinion sustaining the constltutlon llty of the dispensary law. He declared that he oyld Just aa easily prepare an argument to the ontrary. one that would be sustained in court. The erlronment. thereafter, haa something to do rith the manner in which an oplnloa ia rendered, tr. Manning has declared to the people ot this Kate that his policy would be for a rigid enforee lect or the law. His calling for aid from his legal r constituted adviser would be like a Cttlsen wak ng up a policeman to atop Ute procesa of eon*? ttedemeanor. For the attorney general's office earns not to have been aroused to an appreciation f what ls going on. Mr. Manning'A common sense and conscience rge upon him the belief that these race meeta in \ Charleston were in violation of tho law. Other State- ha lng similar laws wore able to outlaw the races. Vet thc opinion or the office of the attorney general of this Stste waa to the effect that thc races were permitted by and under the law. Mr. Manning's common sense fold him that it was not of legal effect to muster out the whole national guard with one stroke of thc pen. The attorney general's office had Bald that it could be done. Other lawyers Rave contrary advice. The national guard 1.? Intact today. Mr. Manning will need advice upon tho State hospital matters, upon liquor matters, upon num erous matters upon which his views appear to bc antipodal to the opinions of the attorney general's office. Mr. Manning needs advice that will be dependable and that will bc in keeping with the promises he has made to the people. These two notable In stances cited are not thc only one3 In which his common sense, supported hy the judgment of abb lawyers, ia directly antithetical to the declared opinions of thc attorney general's office. Should not such consideration a:- these move the governor to consult attorneys In syn pa thy with his ideals? He has mnde no accusation against thc legal de partment of the State, but the records too plainly show tho fact that the governor in attempting a forward policy would be as helpless as n man tied hand and foot. In view of these circumstances, Mr. Manning ha* decided to be advised privately. He will pay the bill himself, if tlie State does not do so. He could have done this and have sent In a bill at the end of the year, and lt would have been paid without a protest, but ho has done the frank, open, honest thing and has laid the situation before the people. It is unfortunate that a simple matter of right, of honorable policy, lias been given such high col oring by politicians. This was not politics. Mr. Manning does not seek to reward any close friends, they are all satisfied with his course. He could get legal advice free, If be were a cheap enough man to accept it. Nor is he seeking to use the "big stick." It ls not thc personality or the politics of the attorney gen eral's office that ls questioned, for tho only appoint ment that Mr. Manning has made since he has been governor baa been to name as State houso elec trician a N iling man who was of that political linc up formerly known as Blcasltes. Mr. Manning has refused to dismiss another one, the State game war den, i It is not Richard I. Manning, but the State of South Carolina who ls the client. It may lie un necessary to nie a cent of this money, but lt will be a comfort to the governor to know that lt is nt hand In case of any embarrassment.-The Columbia Rec ord. 18 IT ?OT M?? OR STREET PAVING! There has been much talk recently as to the need for street paving In Anderson. Today thoBo who have been talking can begin to show whether or not their talk was "bot air" or real Interest Tbl J morning a whirlwind campaign will be started, to secure names, tb a petition for the purpose of calling an election on tho question of Issuing bonds in thc sum of $100,000 to be used in paying for street paving whero one-half ot tho cost of said paving ts to be paid by the abutting property owners. There arc about 1,760 owners of real estate In the city, and lt will require at least 900 names to these pe titions to order the olection. Will t??8? be^forth couiing at once, or shall thc matter be allowed to drag UH people lose Interest in tho matter? Wc shall see this afternoon when these toilet tors re port at a meeting to bc held at 6 o'clock. A glance down any street in Anderson will con vince tho most skeptical thai something must fyS done to becure street paving ut an early date. Sure ly there is not n person so dead to civic pride and real prosperity that he or she will be content to remain In unpaved Anderson. If there b? such, The Intelligencer cannot seo his or her view point, and that there should be a sufficient number to; prevent the calling ot this election, or the carrying of the election when called, is so preposterous that we really have given tho matter little consideration. Of course there will be some persons who will dot favor this progressive etep-there are always some non-progressive citizens in every community. They will assign some reason or another for their'oppo sition, but we would remind them that it is im possible to secure a condition ot affairs-that will meet the requirements of every one. and there must be a ''give and take" policy pursued: In this matter as ta every other. We have a splendid com mission to handle this paving matter, and one com posed of gentlemen who will see to ll that the money secured will be properly expended.- So-then cannot be opposition on this score. Let us show the people who have faith in Ander son, and who have heralded to the world that the people of Anderson do things, that their'faith and confidence were not misplaced, but that lt ls real ly true that we are a progressive people. Ander son must be paved, so we must sign tho petitions. Where do YOU stand? YOUR nsma will tell on which side to count you and your influenqo. The men who have these petitions are busy men and cannot take time to argue with those who do not wish to sign, so hava your mind made UP and be ready to sign when the petition la presented, and If not to say positively thst you cannot and will not sign. Anderson ls going-to be paved, and that soon. Will YOU help? The law of gravity ls never to laugh at your own lokcs. --; Dear Property Owner, yonr signing that petition today does not constitute a vote Ia favor ot the bond iBMie-lt* merely gives your consent for the question to be submitted to a vote of the people; and you ought to be willing to give the public a chance to vote on the proposition. A Jury in Brooklyn awarded $1,00 as damage* for the loss of a girl's toe; $769 for the loss.of a man's linger; and S cents for the loas of s> wife's love.

McLaurln, I fhlnk the people have forgotten him." The Marlboro senator said adding that lie thought Mr. McLaurln could not :ome back and that he is "dead politi cally." He urged the senate not to lestroy the warehouse system which lie said ls of so much help to thc rot on growers. He did not think Mr. Mc Laurln can build a political machine n the warehouse system. He stated I those who were opposed to Mr. Mc laurin "would introduce a resolution Lo impeach him and let the warehouse lystem stand I will vote for it" said Senator Evans who urged them to livorce the system from. John L. Mc Laurln. Senator Appelt made a defense of Former Senator McLaurln, referring JO him ss *' s statesman and not a lolitldan and one who bas toen very mich misunderstood." He praised the warehouse system. "I have always believed that for the state to enlarge in the State .ware? muse business would nnng us tro. . md lots ot it and is dangerous, said Senator Nicholson. He did favor Sun irvlsion by the commissioner of agri culture and said the farmers of his ounty were of tbe same opinion. Senator Black opposed the ware ?ouse system as he did in the extra tesslon.
