MORE REPLY TO OPPOSITION Tho Intelligencer 1? glad to see Kreut interest taken lu tho good ro? bond issue by the people of tho cot ty. We ar?- ?iud to discuss the imp j taut ?i ii CHI lon of whether \>r not tl I county sholl be classed with tho p; j grcssfvos after the 'loth of this mon or be claimed ns a hack number a enjoined to "go way hack and down." The question of good roa ls ono which Is of vital Interest every mun. woman and child in t county, and no niau who lian t right to vote un this question has a business/voting aguinst tho propos bond issue because there is some I tie defect according to his way thinking. In the Inw or the propos plan. Our idea is that this ls too ii portant a question lo put off, and means too much to lbe people of t entire county to kill this bill. V cannot believe lt will be done on tl :!0th Inst., if the good people who w be affected will take Interest cnouj to KO to the polls and vote. We present this morning two cor munications, both of them ugainst tl proposed bond issue. Mr. Karie Keaton, hf Iva, Route 4. has a vet thoughtful article, showing that l has thought over this matter carefti ly. We believe that Mr. Keaton wi vote for the bond issue, ns we fe that one who bas thought so much i he will not allow this splendid o] portunlty to do a progressive act I pass without lending lt his assistant The idea of a road tax of $2.60 fv each tax payer is new. but hardl practical. The men wflo would I called upon to vote this tax woul surely kill il, and we think, proper! so. Tho man who owns property ! tho man who will be most bonefltte by a good road system, and slroul bear tho most of the burden. We ar of thc opinion, however, that once th people of the county l??re the goo roads fever as they will be sure to d when lt Is started, there will be othe methods of raising money necessar to extend the system, and increase th number of miles. Then a road ta might be thought of, and a tax o vehicles, which is also a good way t raise funds. Hut for the present th proper way to raise the funds, in ou opinion, IB a property tax. "The in dustrious laud owner" is als-o the ma: who will reap tho most benefit fro* the good roads, and almost every mai In the county payB taxes on som property, and will make a contribu tion, even if a small one. "But tho farmers have their objec tlons to this thing, n-ot'because of th burden i nly, but because of an extn commission going In with lt," says Mr Keaton. We thought BO. It is not tha the fanner does not want good roads for they dy, and they need them built by whomover and whatevei mettrons may bo employed, but ths they did not have tho chance to vot< for the commission! ' Now. Mr. Kea ton, is this enough reason for votinf against the bond rlsBue? You soy yoi do not 'mow anything against th< commission aH appointed. Would yoi not, therefore, vote for them If thej wero offering In a primary for thest positions? Do you not believe thoj are competent men and will expend the funds entrusted to their care with accuracy and honesty? Aro they nol mon of affairs, and do they not know onoupn about business matters to bc able io soe that the county gets a square deal? You say the commission already elected can handle this fund. Granted. Is not the county- super visor a member of the commission? Would not ho have a voice, and a con siderable" one, in the shaping of the policy of the commission? You say ! the additional work placed upon then: would necessitate the payment of larger salaries, sb where would bo the saving? Have they not enough tc do, in performing their present du ties? Could they attend to both Jos? as they should bc attended to? Mr. Keaton ls correct as to the sources of the material for building roads in this county. So tat, point wc have made that the building of $150,?'. ? wcrth of good roads will be equivalent to turning loose and plac ing in circulation in this county that much additional money, and th.s wutc? indeed be a God l ind this year ! to many a poor man who needs some thing to help out his Income. Speaking of it being a bad time,to start this road work, and to vote the bonds, I t?tere could not have bee*- selected a more propitious time. Th* benefits derived from this fivnd Jus now will ?tart Anderson County ok again on a wave of prosperity, and will go farth er to restore confidence' than any other one fMng that ?an be done Just now. AP to the cost, we have tried to show that lt ttitt fall lightly on any one. We do not know the amount of property Mr. Keaton has returned for taxation. We assume, however, fha*1 ho is a large taxpayer. Any citizen who knows the amount of his taxable property can figure the amount of his taxes very easily. It will require a S mills extra levy to pay the Interest ond provide for a sinking fund. If A pays taxes on $100 ho will poy 30 ?...nts extra per year. If he pays on $500 he will pny $1 .TJO extra per year, and Jf on a fl.OOO he will pay $3.00 extra. Not burdensome, IK lt? AK for, Mr. Rhoad's article, we feel ?hat lt is an answer In It.self. ills Im agination is very active, and we can see the tears running down his cheek as? he wrote, thinking of the poor woi.un and children of thc coun try bending under the heavy load of taxes they have to earn by the sweat of their brows whll0 their husbands are olf killing Mexican greasers or shooting holes Into German or French enemies. Wonder ls that he does not weep also when he thinks of tue poor mules and horses tugging away at the heavy loads merciless masters place on them to pull through the mud, and of the little children who are kept away from school and Sunday school on account of the bad roads such a large part of the winter months. The "bondage" of this enforced Ignorance in more terrible to us than thc bond age of a debt for good roads. Think of the bondage! The Children of Israel making bricks without straw! Isn't lt terrible? Rut, the people of Anderson are thinking on the question of good roads and that they are doing so will be shown on thc 30th of this month. We are hearing from good people in every section of tho county wiro are doing all they can for thc bond issue, and if the commission or tho propo nents of the bond issue will show a tie Interest and INFORM the voters, so they will KNOW what tbey are voting on, tho election will carry by a big majority. A people Informed will al ways vote ns they did In that Texas County, 12 to 1 In favor of good roads. We believe Anderson County people will do BO, or we have been badly fooled. "DOERS AND DITCHERS." The editor of The Intelligencer ap preciates the following clipping which was handed in by a young citizen who is very much interested in the good roads bond issue. It ls called the ''psychology of progressiveness and conservatism," and is as follows: "There are Just two kinds of peo ple In the world that advance or hum per progress, the^Soers and the ditch ers. Whatever the doers, in their en thusiasm, conceive and suggest, the ditchers are bound to oppose and to wreck, If they can. The. majority of us are simply neuters in this war of progress; our indifference is the bat tje ground for the doers and the ditchers. We have the votes, and ac cording to how they sway us goes the bnttle of the world. Because Anding fault ls so much easier than working, and sitting so much easter than hur rying, the ditchers are always in evi dence." Commenting on this another writer says : "PerhapB the ditchers function, though irritating and discouraging, ?5 ? TthcICSSmC CbC?k fnrrprtlvT?. Possibly he olavs a really useful part in progress after all. Let us hope he does. But let us bear in mind that, at the very bout, it is a negative part For my own part, my blood ls red, and I sympathize with the man who does things." 3? <fc <3> <?> ?* t Talking About Us | <?. <$> >ss? & .$? 4? <%> ? ?%. <$> <fr <$ <?. <j> No Deviation.

Dunkerqvrois, France, ?sunk January 28. Skipper? Tells Story. IL H. Kiebne, o? Baltimore, is the master of the American ship, and af ter leaving the Eitel Friedrich with Customs Collector Hamilton tuday. he fold a dramatic story of his exper ience. With him were Iiis wife and two children. "Despite my protestations that lwas the American master of on American ship the cruiser Eitel Friedrich sank the William P. Frye, on January 28, blowing a gaping troie through her vitals with a charge of dynamite," said Captain Kiehne. "I was almost becalmed when thc German ship appeared about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of January 27. My s h ft? was barely movie;; and I paid no attention to the first order from the Dutchman to lay-to. However, she bore on me and I brought my craft to a standstill. After learning that I carried a cargo of wheat, thc German captain told me that it was contra band and he Intended to destroy lt. 1 protested, but no attention was paid to my statements. "A German officer and squad of men was sent aboard the bark and I and my crew were_set to w-^rk throwing the grain overt/oard. . 1'ie German sighted another vessel, also becalm ed, and made for her. He returned about 10 o'clock at night, having sent the other ship to the bottom, as I af terward ascertained'. Cargo Thrown Overboard. ''Evidently the grain was not being thrown overboard fast enough to suit the German skipper, for he sent a half hundred of lils men aboard Boon after wards and the work wenj, on for hours without interruption. However, it was ulow at best and I was informed about 2 o'clock next morning that my ship would be sent to the bottom, which was done in the manner described above. "It was originally the intention of the German captain to leave enough of the cargo in the hold of the ship for ballast. That part of the grain was to bo rendered useless by salt water. "As soon as I was Informed that my ship was to he sent to the bottom, I, my wife and two boys and ihe crew j nonie for iiie German cruiser in our I boats. We were taken aboard and shows; every courtesy throughout the remainder of the voyage. "For two weeks before making this port he German ship molested no ships of any kind and always avoided them not wishing to give the Eng lish cruisers any wind of ber inten tions. She proceeded slowly up the const, all lights that were not out be ing carefully shaded. - "Last night while nearing the ?apeB the wireless apparatus on board the German ship informed us that there were four English warships in our immediate vicinity, two of which seemed very close. ' How eyer, we eluded them and made, this port In safety." May Intern Vessel. Colector of Customs Norman R Hamilton said tonight lt was abviouB that the Prinz Eitel Friedrich ?rp?!?! intern here. Commander Thlerlchens told Collector Hamilton ii was not his intention to take coal only here and that he had no idea of leaving port within 24 hours. Commander Thi?> Ichens further advised the collector that the boilers of his vessel were in bad condition and that repairs under six weeks would be Impossible. He said under these conditions the ves sels would be interned unless permis sion could bo hud to remain hero un til repairs wero Made. Every indica tion points to tlu fact that the ship is here to be interned until the end of tho war. Collector Hamilton informed Com mander Thlerlchens If he had arrived for coal the Prinz Eitel Friedrich would have lo depart within 24 hours. The commander said positively i'.a.t the vessel had not come for coal only and his intentions were not to depart within the 24-hour limit Two English vessels earning horses for thc armies of the allies: at first hesitated about leaving po.vt tonight, but when it became evident that /ue German ship would noe de part at once tbe two English uhips steamed out of Hampton Hoads and put to sea.

Frye by the Eitel Friedrich, which occurred in the South Atlantic off tho River Platte on January 28.
