WnY SOT TAKE THEX 1TI Just at this time lt seems a propit ious season for renewing the effort to secure that portion of our slater counties embraced In Clemson Col lege, to be annexed to Anderson County. Not that'we wish our sister ?ounth?s of Oronee sud Plckens any harm, but wo would like mighty well to bo able to any that Clemson Col lege IB In Anderson County. We be: ilove that ."Barkis ls wUlfn,' "' and we would suggest that some agency take this matter Up and proceed to work Mjtl tb* proposition-as there ia no other agency available we would refer this matter lo Secretary Whaley for early attention. Let ns have Clemson College as one of Anderson County's CLEMSON CADETS WELCOME. W< li ' I ie cadets, io Anderson. Tin- Intelligencer b; delighted that (he corps of cadets hun arrived, and trusts they will lind Un ir stay In "The Electric c ity" pleasant and profitable. They will lind the latch Hiring oil the outside in Anderson, and what they want they will have. The presente of these boya, gathered from every BOC (ion of Hie State and from other State?, will add greatly to the gaycty ? of the week, and BO mm h youth and lifo will add much zest to tho Ander son spirit. The people of Anderson will bo young this week with tho cadets. They will for tho time for net that there ls a horrible war in Kui ope. and feel secure with the pros eare of the "boys in groy.'* like in color to tho old "Boya in Groy" KO famous in song and story. Anderson has had other encamp* mellis and she knows how to Rive the boys a goad time. Tho Citadel cadets encamped hero for two weeks In tho early summer of 1897 and many of them remember and speak with pleas ure of tho >-ootl times they had on this occasion.' This encampment was hold at tho ?Ito of thc old Patrick Military Institute on" South Main dr jet, and one of tho features of this occasion was tho March to Clemson College. Every Citadel cadet on this encamp ment remembers with delight the hos pitality nf the people here at that time. Since then other encampments have been held, and wc would Uko to have this coming of tho Clemson cadets an annual affair. The coming of the Clemson cadets Is a most important matter to the city of Anderson, and it may mean many aggressive citizens for the city any county If a favorable impression bo formed of the city and county. A young man seeing thc advantages which this section offers over any other part of South Carolina may well decide to cast his lot with the people o? the Electric City. As fu ture business men and professional men, wo would urge these young men to investigate conditions here with a view to making this their future home. And for the very same reason wo would impress upon every citizen of Anderson the Importance of seeing to it that there is no cause for complaint on the part of a single cadet upon his return to lils college. Let the '.et ters from. Anderson spread afar the hospitality of her good people, and bc of sueii good cheer as to make the cadets want to come back. Welcome, Clemson Cadets to Ander son. AOAI.V, THE THE ii TON IDEA. It is unfortunate that there should ever bo any difleronccK of opinion be tween the city of Anderson and thc county ot Anderson. We have puzzled over the jealousies and feeling exist ing between the people living Inside the Incorporate lk.iits of the city and tho rural inhabitants of tho county, gnd wc confess frankly that wc see no good reason for lt. Tho county has made tho city of course, and every other citixen has hay seed still in hit. hair. Tho Intelligencer would bc de lighted to have this feeling eliminated id wo would Uko to do all wo can to drive tho imaginary feeling away. To this end there has been organiz ed a kind of business organization called tho Trenton Idea which wo would like to sec worked tn. this coun ty. It simply means that any man may become a member of tho com mercial or business organization at tho county scat. . It refuses to recog nize any imaginary boundary lino be tween thc city and tho country; and 8aysa It makes no difference whether or not a man waiko a block for his maii or rides fivo m i i ea io Bei. ii. lu places where this Trenton Idea has been tried out it has worked wonders In bringing the people together, and showing the man in the city that thc man in the country has not claws, and vice versa. The motto of this or ganization ls a might good one. It ls: "Get- acuuainod with yohr neighbor - you might like him." Why cannot Anderson County be cemented through such an organisation? Scat tered all over the county are good mer), and progressive - Citizens who would be delighted to have the elbow touch of a fraternal meeting with and commingling on terms of social equal ity .with those of themselves living In the towns of the county. Ii we all understood each other and the mo tives actuating those moves for bet ter conditions, we would not he so quick to charge ulterior motivos. Let us try lu Anderson County the Trenton Idea. .'Get acquainted with your neighbor -ryou might llk*j him." w. r. cox, JR.

SEWER, WATER AND BAS .PIPES MUST BE Li FROM MAINS TO CURB LINE ON STREETS THAT ARE TO BE PAVED CITY COUNCIL Is Re luested By Paving Commis sion to Pass tibe Necessary Ordinances for This At Its meeting yesterday evening thc paving commission adopted a re solution requesting city council to pun? flic necessary ordinance that will require abutting property owners liv ing along -a street that is to be pav ed to have all sewer, waa and wa ter connections brought to the curb line before the working of paving on that particular street ls begun. This is not an unurual procedure, in fact, it ts one.that all paving com missions are compelled to follow whore street paving is to be done. In sit cities, where streets are to be permanently improved by the laying of paving pf any kind ono of tho first things thut has lo bc done is to have that street brought to^he curb line. This ls necessary becausa the paving can not be dug up after it ia put down in order that a sewer, water or gas connection may be made. Were, that to be permitted, the city wotrra noon have no street paving. . When city mundi has passed tho necessary ordinance and the paving commission bas selected a street to pave, property owners will bo given notice to have their properly connect ed with tho gas,' water and sewer mains, if the property is noe already connected. The city cannot force a property owner \p carry thu water, gas or water pipes into his house or cr.tr? "is property, but uus ?mr power to compel a property owner to carry these connections as far ai thc curb. lino. A resolution r guesting city council to poss such r.a ordinance was pro posed by Cimmissloner Ledbetter and received a second from CoramlpsloDer Evans. , Considering Draft of Note to England WASHINGTON, March 22.-Presi dent Wilson had under consideration today the draft of a note to be sent to Great Britain and Prance present ing the United States views .on the blockade of commerce between Ger many and neutral countries.
