HAVE TD TRUST SOME ONE. Anderson voted pretty strongly against bonds for the building ot roads. Well, wo know of no better Investment' the county could have made than money pat lb permanent -roads. The trouble is lo convince the people that the roads will bo built af ter the honda are issued. There is pome riak about lt. but In order to do - anything you have to trust .some one.

VINES, PASTOR, One may not always agree with a Strong mau, but even if the convic tions expressed hy a man who is strong and hus real convictions are i.jt in keeping with what one thinks, one cannot hut feel Upen respect for him. und the manliness he exempli fies when he has the temerity to ex press convicltcbs counter to those generally held by the people of the community. The world needs strong men to do Its thinking und to lead those who are and always will bc followers. Not every man! with strong convictions and broad Ulcus occupies a position which enables him to bb heard, or to impress uopn his com munity the Unportanco of his progres sive principles. In Anderson there is a strong man who has strong con victions and who has thc temerity to express them. Ile lias made many friends by so doing, and a few en emies, but the enemies a man makes many times is an indication of the work he is accomplishing. Dr. Jno. P. Vines is pastor -of the largest church In Anderson, which is tho same as saying it is the largest In tho State, having the largest mem bership of any one church In. South Carolina. He is a strong preacher, and '. a good pastor, beloved by his con|. .gation. Coming to Anderson almost a decado ago from the State of Tendance, a graduate bf Carson Newman Coilego, anti of the Baptist Theological Seminary', and a hard worker, he has made an Impress upon this community. AS president ot An derson College, he demonstrated his ability to organize, and since that time ho has been instrumental in -furthering the cause of education in every way possible. A strong think er and a fighter, Dr. Vines, withal has the tenderness of a woman, and the large audiences which hear his ser mons Sunday after Sunday, attest to the force ot his preaching. ANDERSON AND NEW SCHOOL LAW. Supt. J. E. Swearingen has pre pared an article for The Intelligencer on tho new compulsory attendance law in this State, and makes some comments upon conditions in Ander son County. Some of the figures he uses will be especially interesting. All but eleven school districts have voted a special levy tax. Eight of the high schools have State aid; thirty two rural graded schools' receive State, ah and there arc sixteen dis tricts receiving term extension aid. Supt. Swearingen states that there are perhaps ninety per cent of the children of school age in attendance upon the schools of tito county, and he argues that the remaining ten per cent should be put into the schools. He says: "Careless and dis interested parents should no langer be permitted to keep their boys and girls out of school, and thus den.- to them advantages of a public school education." Supt. Swearingen then goes on to show how the new compulsory school attendance law may bo Introduced In to this county. He nays that ail peti tions should bc circulated during thc month of April. In order that the election required may be held in June at the specified time, i The term of compulsory attendance is fixed by law at four* months, which term is not at all burdensome." In towna the term is the period of compulsion. Mr. Swearingen hast the following to say: "For years Anderson County has ranked among the.foremost lead ers of progressive education In South Carolina. I earnestly hope that this record may be maintained In Hie mat ter of compulsory attendance." ADVANTAGE, OF GARDEN. In this, morning's Intelligencer there appears one of a series or ar ticles prepared by the department ol agriculture on the advantages of a vegetable garden. These article!, art prepared by exports and sre full ol good suggestions as to how' to make the garden a profitable adjunct ol every home. In addition to this de tailed Information will be given as to how to plant and cultivate all the vegetables. Wo trust that our read ers will follow this series of articles, and that every home In Anderson County at least may haven line vege table garden. Much ' money can bc saved, and much more wholesome and healthful vegetables can be raised than lt bought from the market. Then the exercise will be most beneficial to the town man, and to the horse beet;, farmer, if thera be any of ibest In thu? good county Makes 61 Feel Like 10.

"The Servant in the House" to be Given Redpath Chautauqua People Say Plan Cannot Now Be Changed A communication has been receiv ed at the chamber of commerce from the Redpath Chautauqua Bureau in reply to n letter which the chamber of commerco address to the bureau some days ago asking if it would bo possible for Shakespearo's "Merchant of Venice" to bo produced during ehautauqna week here instead of "The Servant In th: House." as there had boen a number of requests made for the change. The communication from the chau tauqua bureau states that it will bc impossible to change the play, and tells why in the following words: "Your letter of the 28th inst., to hand. We are extremely sorry if 'The Servant in the House," does not meet the wishes of a number of your people. We selected this play after most careful consideration and the desire for "Tho Servant in the House" was so universal that we have not provided a substitute. "Surely, thero must be some mis apprehension in regard to "The Ser ' vant in the House." The play is, in reality, a great human document, dealing with those things which touch the common heart of mankind. It ls ^absolutely clean and pure and no per son nttendlng such a play can fail to foel the influence of its high moral purpose. "Tho Servant in the House" has the endorsement of the Drama League of America, an organization made? up principally of women whose purpose is the elevation of the drama. When the play was in Chicago it hod the unqualified endorsements of the ministers and churches and was the theme of many sermons. "When I sent-out the talent rating blanks to twenty different individuals in one hundred and twenty towns on tho chautauqua circuit, we usked in tho lotter accompaning the blanks this question: "Would you consider 'The Servant In the House' a good play , for next your's chautauqua ?" Over ninety-eight per cent ot the answers were favorable. "Tho bureau has gone to a great expense bo perfect this production, buying the rights to produce. "The Servant in the House" la the lyceum aud the chautauqua. Mr. Chas. Rann Kennedy, tho author ot the play, se lectee' the leading actors and came from Now York to Chicago to put the'finishing touches on thc play. ' Accept when this drama was first produced in New York with the ori ginal cast, I do not believe "The Ser vant In the House" has ever been pro duced under such favorable circum stances. I sincerely trust that it will bo acceptable to your audiences, for wo have mcde every effort tn build ing our program to make lt. "De Luxe" from start to finish."

"HENRY BRECKENRIDGE. "Assistant Secretary War." The above telegram was sent as a result of the national rifle contest between military school or the Unlt . ed SUte for a trophy offered by tho i war department. Major Forney, to whom the tele gram was addressed, ls a native South 1 Carolinian. Ho la a son of J. E. For I ney, freight agent. Blue Ridge rall i way, Anderson. Major Forney was ? eduteted at the Citadel, Charleston, i He went to New Mexico In 1912 as commandant o? cadets of the New Mexico Military Itattiuie, a school i distinguished by the highest rank awarded by the government. Major Freney made good from the beginning although hts position was made diffi cult by the fact that he succeeded a . most competent man. Soon after taa , log up hts new dules, he assumed . charge of the Institute rifle team and t was appointed a Judge by the Na 1 tlonal Rifle association. HI? team r contested for the much coveted tn. . phy for three years; and by efficient ? coaching and consistent effort, he has I finally established tor himself a na . tional reputation. 1 This la aitaply one Instance ot i Where South Carolina boys arc rotu li.;; to tho front in other States, The legislature of 1915 passed al local option compulsory school atten dance law, allowing the people of each district to decide upon ils opera tion in their school. Progressive teachers and trustees ar,, urged to cooperate lu utilizing this law in order to show that school folk believe in thc principle and arc willing to uso whatever opportunities the lawmakers furnish. Anderson couuty contains sixty seven school district. During the scholastic year 1913-14, fifty-six of these district} had voted a local tax. There are eight stnte-aiu'ed high schools and thirty-two sta*"-aldeil rural graded schools. Sixteen dis tricts also receive term extension aid. The residents of euch of these dis tricts have proved their Interest il? the education of their children by voting u local tax. Interested patrons have already put their children in school. Careless and disinterested parents should no longer be permit ted^ to keep their boys and girls out of school, and thus deny to them ad vantages of a public school education. It is probable that ninety per cent of the children from eight to four teen years of age are already in school. The .remaining ten per cent should bo put in school, or should oe able to give a satisfactory reason for their non-attendance. Thp introduction cf the compulsor> law may be secured in one of three ways : 1. I*pon the written petition of n inaorlty of the qualified elecfors ol any school district, compulsory at tendance may be recured without an election. I'pon the written petition o? one-?;urth of the qualified electors of any district, the people residing In such district may secure in elec tion upon thc question. If a majori ty Vote favorably upon the question of compulsory attend-ince, Hie law becomes operative. 3. In incorporated towns with a population of fifteen hundred, thc board of trustees may ask tor an election, and a majority vote of fhe people of the district will e.tablish Hie principle. This course tuav be fellowed in the cities of 'Anderson, Honen Path, Rel ton and Will iain st on . The trustees ol these four districts might w-c.ll give their patrons a right to decide this question; All petitions 'should be circulate'! daring thc month of April in order that they may be checked as early u? possible in May. All elections .must bo held on the second .TuoBdny in June, hence petitions uglied by one fourth of the qualified electors re Remarks Made By Presidei Cadets in Chapel. Mon The board of trustees, the faculty, the president and all the friends at Clemson may well be proud- of thc fine impression made upon the hn pitablc city of Anderson by your de portment during the encampment of last week. Wherever 1 wen:, I heard your praises. The mayor of the titty, the secretary of the chamber of com merce, business men, newspaper edi tors', and even the chief of police, vied with each other in compliment ing your bearing and ceportment. Epeclally emphatic and particularly gratifying was thc testimony from the ladles of Anderson. - I cannot but feel that tho peo ple of Anderson wore ns proud of you ut if Clemson Co'lego were local ed tn Anderson county, and certainly they r cerned delighted to havo you as illili- truests. I predicted that no where in th? State would wc find a warmer wel come than in- Anderson, and I un: sure you are ready now to confirm thia statement. Never have I seen warmer hearted hospitality than was shown you by every one In tho city, and to the ladles in particular should we bc grateful for many courtesies. Their spirit was shown in an incident related to rae by Chaplain Mills, to the effect that a cadet walking to wards thc camp was overtaken by a lady in an automobile. Although a stranger to- him. the lady gave him a seat in the automobile, and Insisted on his going to dinner with her, which Invitation he hod the good sense to accept. . To the newspapers of Anderson W . are indebted for much favorable pub licity, not only 1n the local columns, but . through their disc '.ches to thu dally papers of tho State. To the chamber of commerce, and particularly to its indefatigable sec retary, do we owe a special debt* be c?>'se through their efforts was lt u.ado possible to have the enc?nuE^ ment without necessary coat to tho college cr to the cadets. And BO the encampment with' Ita duties, its pleasures and Its danjtyra. la a thing of the pa?*, W* have ,*>n,?ii to be thankful for-for the sutn> weather, for good health, for th? tine impression made by the corp* ur?"MI the people of Anderson-an impres sion not marred by a single disagree able incident-for the gener?os hts* pltality onjoyed. for the valuable military instruction received, and for a safe return. Thia week has been ?a "dary anxious one (or me. Your health and pleasure have been rory much on my heart, but "All's well that ends well." Por vour safe and healthful return I ana. duly thankful, and for your flod con luci and tho honor you have brought upon the nomo of Clemson Colkvre. I nni profoundly grateful. The entire en campment is sn honorable page In the history of .the college, and i trust Hint rested and refreshed bv tho ont ool Attendance questing au election cannot bo delay ed witliout dauger. Application? from the trustees of districts containing fifteen lin ml red Inhabitants phoubi be sent in lo the county board, of ed ucation before June Int in order that due notice of the proposed elc-llon may be given to the /olera. Teachers and trustee in perhaps a Bcore of districts in Andersen coun ty have enrolled practically every child in their territory. Some of these teacher? and trustees assert that compulsory attendance is not needed lc their schools beeanH? it will net bring in an udditional pupil. Every such district is earnestly urged to assist the cause of public education by putting the compulsory attendance law in operation at once. Their cooperation will prove the practicability of the statute. Tho compulsory term for the country schools will bo four months, tho compulsory term for- all town schools will last through tho entire session. The local school improvement as sociations ' in the various district cai; render valuable service by taking up this ciuestion. The women of each association are vitally interested in the education of their children. If the school improvement workers would make a concerted effort in this connection during the next two nionth:i, they would render an in valuable service to the public schools. Some districts may vote agaiust compulsory' atienda -e ju n as a few backward districts" nave consistently refused to vote a local school tax. Such district? are in the greatest need of better school3. They are al so In the greatest need of more mon ey. Our failure to secure a local tax In such neighborhoods i? deeply re gretted, but our educational teasers have not given up the fight because of this failure. A similar course with respect to compulsory attendance will net be altogether successful in these backward districts, but it should certainly succeed In thc more j progressle communities where local | .utercst in education has already compelled the voting of a local school tax. For years Anderson county hail ranked among the foremost leaders of progressive education in South Ca; olina. I earnestly hope that this record may be maintained hythe mat te?" of compulsory attendance. Any board or trustees, teacher, or ac'joci improvement association in terested, in the question should ci n munlcatc promptly with the county superintendent or wit lube Sute su perintendent. J. E.
