THE ANDERSON BOND ISSUE On the thirteenth day of March the voters of Anderson county.will decide whether or not bonds amount ing to $7."><>.000 shall be Issued tor the purpose of constructing per manent highways In that county. Tho people of Anderson could not do a better thing for their country than lo vole favorably upon this bond issue. Anderson ls one of the finest counties in thi* State. Its farms ore, or many of them are. as near model farms as will be found In South Carolina The progress of tho county has been marked, but as with Greenville and many another county, tho progress* has been ham pered for tho want of roads. Build penna!.ont highways from county line, and thero will bi: better times in Anderson. Yet there la some doubt as to whether or not the voters ot Ander son will act favorably upon the proposition. Should they reject lt, the result will be that the county will for several years to come, con tinue to make ?ut with its present roads, and progress will be impeded, as lt has been In the past| In the meantime, tho highways for Green ville county will have boen built, and w? shull be proceeding merrily on our way to better farming, better Churches, hotter schools and alto gether happier times. When this time'shall ha^o arrived, and Green ville looks about and sees other counties still paying the mud tax, our people will With moro unanimity than ls now th,? case, bb thnnkful to tho delegation for taking the bul! by tho horns, and glong ahead with that which was needed. There is, aa wo all know. lome question as to the democracy of the action of Greenville's delegation. But that ls secondary. The first consideration ia tho result, und .Greenville will hcgln to reap the ' fruits or tho roads, will realize thc result, perhaps long beforo tho other counties, except Richland, will con clude . to save timo, energy, and money by building good roads. Greenville Dally.News. Independen* But Not Regardless. Yhcre ls no newspaper perhaps tn tho state, pursuing so independent an attitude ns The Y?rkvtlle Enqui rer. Anderson Intelligencer. This sentence was used at. explan atory to the reproduction of what The Enquirer said last Friday on the subject of advertising. We appre ciate tho Intelligencer's estimate of The Enquirer; but we hopo that the' word "Independent," will pot be in terpreted as aynonomus with the word "rcflardless," for in that sense, we "are certainly not Independent. Before anything else Tho Enquirer seeks to be a servant of right. Jus tice and truth. This is an especially difficult role und it involves reapor. slbillty Hut, Is tremendous. Where ono ia certin of the right, there ls no trouble about going that way; but acvueUmes it ls exceedingly difficult to know the right. ^?ven Where one ir< certain ot the right, also H is by no moans the easiest road, lor ?long thlr road ona comes Into conflict with tlie most vroug, and there is where the fighting takes place. Wo pre quite sure that the In talligeucer did. not mean to sug gest that The Enquirer is regardless, or indifferent, nnd we would not have our readers so.-inderstand. Ac hing to our vinw of the matter, and we arc proud'of the distinction ibo Intelligencer * ould give us,' Tho Enquirer trios to maintain loyalty to original principles ot business and ethics.' We do'that because we be lieve our constituency demands lt. and because it is our desire. We have no wish to be "independent" jipd ws do not try to be.-Yorkvllle Enquirer. - War Prevent? Trip to The Exposi tion.- Headline. It that's al! the rv ar knocked us out of we'd -be almost hysterical with Joy. -o-j One is led io believe, from the man ner the new federal court -Jistrlet bill has worked out, th'.!, someone wrote on HP? slate, "I love you, Joe." y ? MORE BOND The Intelligencer ls having un up hill fi IA li t on tbie county bond issue, and in till? Issue will ht found com munications from Mr. Caney and Sup ervisor King, both against the pro posed hom! issue. These gentlemen largely rehash the arguments former ly used against the proposition, In fact there is little else they can bring against il. and the only change ls the new verbiage In which it is dressed. Supervisor King, though u member ;>f the commission appointed by the delegation, comes out lu opposition lo the proposed Issue, though he admits that it is impossible to have good roads unUl we get more money with which to build them. Ills Idea ls to levy u special tux -of the*sumc amount us would be expended to pay for the interest and sinking fund on the bond Issue, and use this amount each year to build permanent roads in the coun ty. In case there is to bo a bond Is BUC. Supervisor King v.ould favor a township bond rather thr-.a a county bond. In this article the supervisor about covers all there is in tho op position to the bond issue, and hts argument is not strengthened hy the sarcasm in the concluding paragraph. The Intelligencer has never crit icised Supervisor King's roud build ing, nor any c.." his work as county supervisor. We isve held that he has done the best be could under the cir cumstances, but we have the same opinion lie lins, and that is that if Anderson County ls to bulbi,', system of permanent roads, there must be como money_ with which to build tie. i" Next to the l ouds we believe that his Idea of a direct tax the most feasible, and if adopted the county will certainly be going somowhere in stead of standing still as has been the record for the past cen my In so far as permanent and lasting road work lu concerned. Hut. the pace will be slow In comparison with what may be had with the larger amount of money, and we doubt If lt will bo pos sible to secure such a direct tax any way, and the county will go on in the same old rut for the raxt genera tion, perhaps. The delegation, if this bond issue is defeated, will be so In timidated perhaps that no one in lt will have tho nerve to tackle this road husi/icsB again. Suppose the delega tion should vote a special tax on the people, wherein would it be different from the bond issue? "Uncle Josh" Ashley already says he is "agin it" and there will be others. We would ask 8uporvisor King why lt was that he did not call a mass meeting of tho citizens of the county io discuBS this matter, or rather tc suggest it and urgo the'delegation tc adopt some measure for permanent road work? He has r. vn superviso! for two years and knew the need foi permanent road work, so would lt not bavo been wlihin his province to have called a maBs meeting of the cit ?zen; to discuss this matter before thc meeting of the legislature? Why does he not call a mass meeting now and let the people discuss the pro nosed bond Issue, and the direct ta> he ls in favor of? We think lt would be a splendid thing to do, and won h. enable both sides to discus? the mat tor and get at the troubio with thc proposed bond Issue and perhaps tc remedy lt, so that something might la done In order that ibo good road? fight may not be put off for thejnexi generation. . In reforonce to the article of Mr Casey, we feel that wo have airead] A JIKA VF. OFFICER. The crime at Lowndesvillo' commit ted yesterday morning by a negrc brute is one ot the most horrible w< have ever contemplated. To hu vi done lo her dtiath the aged lady ii the manner she was killed is enougl to make the blood of every true mat bo'.', within him. and If ever mol violence was justifiable this woult have been one bf the times. But it li with a feeling of relief that one learnt that there was no lynching and thai the law will bc allowed to take tb course. There can'be but one verdict and we trust Governor Manning wit call an extra session of court ta tr; this criminal, so that speedy justlci may bc done. Magistrate Huckabee deserve.' much credit for the manly and fear lesa stand he took in guarding hil prisoner. Mad he been less r?solut' trvre would have been two crime against the good old town o? Lown delville instead v>f one. While on feels that any death however horrible would be too good for the brute, ye we feet sure those roost clo-el y con corned will ever be grateful the Magistrate Huckabee had the man hood to ?land off the blood thirst: crowd who were bent on wreak in vengeance themselves. More such officers would mean few er violations ot tew by mobs. Th majesty of the lew was upheld hy th I faithful officer, but censure cannot b made on thone who ?hilf? dfotred t. OPPOSITION unawop I most of Iii . quelles The delegation fixed thc rute of interest tho bonds should bear and the rute of interest on the deposits, und wc pre sume tiley wore governed in this hy the prevailing rules and rules in force throughout the country. In so far as the mismanagement of the funds hy the commission, that limy bo possible, but with nine good busi u ss men, all strictly honest, this uanger is reduced to a minimum. Hut tills ls one of the provisions of the law, which might be amended by a succeeding legislature. The Intelli gencer has never Said it was unwill ing for the commission lo bo voted for by the people, and if this is a stumbling block in Mr. Caseys way, it might be that thc commissioners would he willing to -obligate them selves to resign from the commission and allow their successors to be elect ! ed. We have said that the commission selected were all good men and would perform their duties faithfully and honestly. Of course after the bonds are voted und issued it would not he right to cancel them, and they would have to run the full length of time. The Intelligencer would be willing to have the roads begin at the outer edgo of the county and be built in ward. In fact, with rock located where it ls, it would doubtless be well to have the roads begin near the edge of the county, or in the vicinity of the quarries, or where the rock ls plentiful. The first roads worked should have consideration as to the greatest number of persons who ? would travel them. We would like, personally for one of them to go by ' the home of our Septus correspond ' cnt, and wo venture the asertion that j he would not trade it back for al! the j tax money he would pay on it for a ! century instead of for the bond ? period. J We think the time for the election < entirely too soon, and had we been?! ! consulted on this matter we would j have suggested having II several J weeks later, say about the latter part . of May, so the farmers and all the ' people could have had time tu study . lt and to have investigated for them ( selves what good roads have done for i other parts of the country. In answer to another question, we I would say that If the banker waB In I earnest In telling the farmer what j you say he told him, he was wrong, and did the farmer an injustice. But this sounds to us as if this was in tended as a joke, and if tho farmer were fooled by it, we aro convinced that more time should have been al lowed for education before tho vote ls token. This seems to contradict the statement made by our corres pondent when he says: "We arc liv ing In an enlightened age." We wish to paraphrase the follow ing statement hy Mr. Casey so that lt shall read as follows: "Laborers of > j Anderson County, lt matters not what r. your work may bo, go to the polls on r the 30th day* of March and by, your ? - vote show to tho world that without : compulsion and without the knowl I edge and consent of your child, you I v. ill nut doom him or her to pay a ? mud tax that will perhaps be a bur > j den to it through the greater part of Its life, for if by your vote you put th's debt on it, then you are unfaith ful and recreant to your duty to that cl,.id as regurds ifs future welfare, and you are to be pitied cither for your unfaithfulness or for your infer nal Ignorance." avenge such a cowardly midnight as sassin-lt was thc natural outpouring of an outraged community. DRIFTING WITH THE CURRENT, The Intelligencer may be wrong on some questions, tut lt has th?Vonso lation of feeling it was right and standing for what it felt to be right on many questions, without fear ot consequences. WhendVer we have to J oay:-**ThI? newspaper would have ?, keen gmd to have supported the propsltion, even 1 hough lt was . not what we would like. If there ? had been any chance whatever of lt succeed!ag, hat we do not be Here In wasting ear energies Ia a light we know te he utterly hope less, and consequently vre kare em ployed oar tine and ?pase to other matters*-we shall be ready to coane publication. A newspaper should be as a watcher on the house top, and seo afar and ahead the is sues coming up and try to lead those tot occupying the vantage ground of the newspaper. A news paper should not he a weather vane only, showing which way the wind blows, but it should be a wind that blows. A true newspaper stands tot something, and ls a real factor la thc development of its. community. Be lieving this The Intelligencer ha? srood fer many matters progressive and wo reel that our efforts have nol been in rain, it ls, perhaps easier tc drift with the current, but we prefei to he right. PAVING BOARD TAKES UP IMPORTANT ITEMS OF A NATURE PRELIMINARY TO THE BEGINNING OF IMPROVEMENTS V/ILL VISIT TWO PIEDMONT CITIES Of Greenville ?nd Spart an burg to Get Fu*st-Hand Information on Paving Mattera At a'i Important meeting of Mic pav ing ( Minmi..-.?DIMTS held last night in the office of Chairman E. R. Horton a number of matter? pertaining to the issuance of bonds not exceeding $100,000 for street paving and plans for the improving of the streets were discussed. Tho meeting was mire in the nature of a preliminary discussion of several important matters that will have to be decided upon before steps actual ly connected with the paving are taken. On,, of the matters considered by the board was that of employing un expert consulting engineer, a man who is thoroughly familiar with pav ing matters and who has had ycara of experience, to represent tho city and see that the paving contractors, come up to the letter of their contract with tile city. The commission is of thc opinion that lt would bc folly to attempt to lay paving in Anderson without thc advfco of a enmpotent en gineer on paving matters, but took no definite steps toward closing a deal with an engineer, although Mr. Gilbert C. White, an expert engineer of Charlotte, appeared before them and made a proposition. ?ill Investigate. The commissioners decided te go to Greenville and Spartanburg next Fri day for the purpose of consulting persons -in those cities who have charge of street paving in the re spective cities, and getting first hand from them Information that will be invaluable in carrying on the work here. As to Bonds. 4 With reference tc the natur?, ot the bonds, the commission adopted a re solution requesting- city council to call for bids on bonds of 30, 40 and 50 years date awl nearing interest at 4, 4 1-2 and 5 pt>r cent. The commission - also decided to give to the Souther.t Public Utilities company in regard to their part of the paving which is to be done. Petitions in 8bape. The commission Instructed its at torney. Mr. G. Cullen Sullivan, to draw up suitable petitions for proper ty owners to.use in petitioning the commission for street paving. These petitions will be printed immediately and will be in the hands oi commis sioners for distribution to those ask ing for them.

I said to him 'that is a good woman' and asked him why he did it. And he said that he wanted to see that little girl. Then someone came in and he did not say anything more." . The only other witness of import ance examined was Mr. E. W. Harp er. - ho testified as follows: ? was on tl) <3 premises or Mrs. Scott on March 17. One Charlie Logan was then un der arrest on suspicion, and after quite a good deal of talking with him he made a confession of doing the deed. He said that he entered the window and struck Mrs. Scott with a hammer. He did not give" any rea son for otriklng her. The fifth and last witness examin ed was Mr. A. L. Scott, a son of . the lady who was murdered. He testified as to being called from his home near his mother's hous^ after the attack upon her, and. as to tile condition in which he found her. when he arrived. Struck With Wrench. That portion of the testimony which states that Charlie Logan ad mitted hitting Mrs. Scott with a ham mer docs not coincide with a bit di evideffce unearthed by Dr. Kirkpatrick in making an examination of tho roon> The physician stated yester day that he discovered upon examin ing tho wound in Mrs. Scott's head that lt was not made with a hammer. He began looking about thc place and soon found a heavy wrench in a crevice between the mantel1 p>?e and the chimney. The wrench, he stated, had,fresh blood on it, while the ham mer on tho floor was free from blood stains: ' Furthermore, stated ?he physician, the character of thc wound In the old lady's head showed that it was made with the wrench and not with the hammer. -N Suspicious Circumstances. citizens of Lowndcsvlll? aro not at all satisfied with the explanation of the crime that Charlie Logan gives. There are a number of suspicious circumstances connected with the af fair, and circumstances that might lead one to believe that the murder was the result of a conspiracy among several persons. Officers and citi zens of Lowndeavlllo are working on theories along this ' line, and it may be that thora will be other develop ment in thc case ere long. Among these auspicious circum stances is: the whereabout of Ben Massey on the night Mrs. Scott was killed. Massey contended yesterday that he and another negro, Earl Bur ton, came to Anderson Tuesday night and spent the night here with a ne gro named W.ll Davis, who is a broth er-in-law of Burton.
