old subscibleris hiave paid teir sub

for several yoars. We are glad to
htavo thiem remfailn with us because
though ntew races are always welcome,
we learn to like most those who have
been with uts longest.
WVe heflle'' thatt those who took an
nctive part it the contest are resigned
to the conviction that to those who
worked hardest have gone the bene
fits. We aire quite( sure ourselves that
the w-nning contestants deser'vedl a
great dieai for' their elforts, for their
plaes in the end wore arned by
inril aneat andt conscientious work.
It is a great pltnastre for us to state
that we do not believe that any of the
winning contestants spent any of their
own funds in working for the prizes.
From our impression of the events of
the p-ast few weeks, we believe that
the money turned in to the contest
manager caine from the pQckets of
the subscribers and not from those of
the contestants. We hope that is the
case, anyway,
The contest has been an unusually
satisfactory one from the standpoint
of friendly rivalry. If there has been
any hants feeling engendered In the
contest, we have not heard of it and
hope .that none exists. The campaign
of each individual contestant was
waged on a high plane and no undue
advantage was taken by any. The
contest ends with the best of feeling
prevailing all around. There was no
need for hard feeling and consequent
ly there was none.
To the winning candidates we ex
tend our congratulations and also our
thanks for the hard work performed
by them. To those who were not suc
cessful, wo also wish to extend olur
thanks as their efforts contributed
considerably to the success of the
unldertakinig. Some of these worked
under a disadvantage und some only
started during the last days of the
contest.
Tho Advertiser wishes to express
its appreciation of the services of the
contest manager. She worked faith
fully and well at all times and coil
ducted the affairs of Tile Advertiser in
a 'manner to reflect credit upon herself
and the paper too.

In another column of this paper will
be found a copy of the resignation
of County Superintendent of 1',duca
Lion, Geo. L. Pitts. Mr. Pitts has re
signed because the salary attached
does not afford himt a living wage
and so lie cannot "afford" to con
tinue in office.
We iave been very closely asso!Yiat
ed with dir. Pitts ill the conduct of

through able management he has

8 STATE PRESS COMMENT. 8
98888888888888888888
The Anderson Speech.
One of the most significant utter
ances, or series of utterances in re
cent years was the governor's speech
in Anderson. In it he departed from
his established custom of construc
tive ideas and launched into criti
cism, unusual in its character, and
far reaching in its scope. Several
'start'ling new issues were run in.
Among these were the opponent's
onti re unfitness; the candidate's
eminent qualifications; government
for friend; and the negro. But by
far the most signifleant p.art of the
speech was the criticism of President
Wilson. Coming at this t!me, when
the 'lexican press is also loud in de
nunciation, it is feared that the An
derson speech will weaken the whip
hand the President holds over Con
gress and seriously impede legisla
tion which the President hoped to get
enacted. So far the administration
has taken no ollicial notice of the
speech; but this reticence may be but
a thin cloak to cover inward quak
ings. It is known that the President
has had several conferences since the
Anderson speech with those high up
in administrative 'circles, but it is
impossible at present to say positively
that there is any connection between
the two. Also it is too early to get
the L(ondon and Continental papers,
and just what attitude they will take
cannot be predicted at this' distance.
llowever, all who listened to the
speech admit that it. was startling
unusual, and that nothing like it ...
been heardl in South Carolina before.
