THE PAVING COMMISSION
In the news columns jut The Intel
ligencer this morning, is printed an
Interview with u taxpayer who con
tends that the paving commissioners
should be elected by popular vote and
not appointed by city council . He
Hpeaks of Hum, or rather of thosei-pun-j
cil n^Bt?btrAo?i tf><> commission, gsl
'self-appointed authorities" The per
son Interviewed Bees defeat of the pro
posed bond Issue,, unless the matter
of selecting the payjlsg commissioners I
Is placed lp the-hpndH of the. people-'
The Interview Ih printed for what it
Is worth, and not as any Indication of
how The Intelligencer feels on that
score. Of our own position on this
matter wo will Bpeak at some later
day.
There are two sides of the question
of the wisdom of naming the paving
commissioners by popular vote. For
the sake of argument, taking the side
of the man who is opposed to th0 com
missioners being chosen by popular J
vote, let us ask the one who would
have tbeso coramitteemen chosen by
ballot of the people what assurance
have you that In selecting a commis
sion by popular vote you would elect
men nrore competent to discharge the
duties of paving commissioners and
men, sow more,acceptable to tho free
holders at large than a majority of
those constituting the board recently
appointe^? .. . ?
You might'say that the majority of
the people chose the commissioners
so elected, and that the voice of the
majority should rule. Well enough in
principle, but wo know of instances
where tho majority makes had choices.
Thero are Borrte questions which have
to ho decld??'by popular vote, because
it Is Impracticable to dispose of them
otherwise.
If a paving commission has been
selected which''is not acceptable In
Its entirety to the people, we believe |
that It is not too late for 'changes to
be made; and that objectionable mem
bers of the commission can be Induced
(o withdraw and their plac?e filled by
men who will be acceptable to all the
people.
All of .which brings us to make the
point that.if you.are not-pleased with ,
?:i the members'.of the paving' com
mission,- do not sit silent, and then re
cord yOUr'disapproval of the person-'
uel of the committee by voting against |
the bond Issue. If yqty 'do that,' thf-n
you are shooting at one object but hit
i inmother; or you are firing at the
member of the commission whom you
don't' like hut killing tho bond Issue.
THE GRAIN ELEVATOR
In thtr morning's Issue of The In
telllgtn?er Is printed an extract irojp
u bulletin issued by Prof. W. W. Lou,;,
!)!uv agent of the Farmers' Corpor
ative Pcmonstratlon Work, In Wh'ch
he voices the. opinion thru grain ele
vators, aro not needed In'this Button
of the country Just at this time. ?n
the other hand, be advises the erection
of mills for the manufacturing of our
wheat into flour and the establishment
of com ali?nera tor putting our corn
Into marketable shape.
The Intelligencer does not care at
this time to espouBe the cause of tho
elevator, nor say anything that would
tend to hinder the movement which
seems to have-been fairly well start
ed here jlooklng toward the erection
of such'a plant. The committee of the
Chamber- of Commerce which Is in-'
vc8tlgatlng the advisability of this
venture in all probability knows.what[
It Is about.
But, we can no? rest?t the tempi a-j
lion to call the committee's attention
to the words of Prof., Long, and ask
thst they be given earnest consider
ation. Old. we-not know the state
agent to be the intensely practical
man that he is, we would probably
not be so ready to ask the committee
to give his views, their most careful
attention.
Within the past two or . three de
cades Anderson has had numerous
I enterprises that were more or less
j along the line of an innovation when
; they started. We have in mind a shoe
factory, hosiery mills, suspender fac
tories, handkerchief and shirt factor
ies and others that have long since,
ceased to exist. New enterprises are,
of course, always good for a town, or
at least sq. long asIthey keep1 'going.
We would liko to see a grain.eleva
tor erected here, but we would regret
a vast deal more to see one that had
been started "go wider" later on in
In starting any now enterprise In
? community fye should look).- far
ahead, and far to cither aide and; in

THOSE ROMAN ROADS
The reports of the Italian earth
quake include the news that roads
built 2,000 years ago by the Romans
of the empire were badly damaged by
the upheaval.
A considerable part or the wisdom
of the Romans was their recognition
of the importance of roads In the
scheme of military strategy. The
transportation uf troops by other
means. wnsH.Lh.cn unknown on laud.
Nowadays roads are still of great im
portance as a means of moving troops,
but oven more necessary as a means
A moving freight..
Modern Europe has saved millions
of dollars hauling farm products'to
market over roads made twenty cen
turies ago by Home. The example has
been u sutlieient hint to the wise and
modern European nations have spent
Immense sums for systems of public
roads which compare favorably with
Un- i'-omun roads and are built at less
expense becai'/e of improved meth
ods.
Nowhere has a county unit system
of roud building, or Its equivalent, re
sulted in a solution of the road prob
lem. Thp Roman empire, the British
empire, the German empire and the
French republic provide good ex
amples of the reduction of the farm
er's freight bills, the increase of tho
business of railroads and the increase
of pleasure travel by vehicle through
the agency of funds luld out for mak
ing smooth highways. The British
have put down first-rate macadam
highways as far away an Ceylon, In
dia, and; the Straits; Settlements, and
the Singhalese pensant "can haul
twice as much with his ox cart and go
twice ks. far, in a day as he could In
the days wlied'his country was an In
dependent kingdom.
The Roman roads were made expen
sively at a time-when it-was consider
ed necess?ry to put down u large
amount of stone as a foundation be
fore laving the crushed stone as a sur
face. The discovery of macadam, that
crushed stone laid upon tho earth
would "bind" under the wear of traf
fic and form a compact mass,
pat a new aspect upon roadmaklng.
but graft and lncompetency In Ameri
ca, especially where counties have
been the roadbullding units, have of
ten combined to make roads as ex
pensive an ttuise of the Romans with
out giving them the wearing quali
ties.
Roman road builderb would, in alii
probability, bavo been hanged by
their thumbs, boiled in oil, or per
forated with white-hot iron bars if
they had wanted money as it is wasted
in this county. Local I. self-govern
ment Is a great thing, but there are
times .when,It falls to-get results that
would be easily accomplished by an
Hiltrammeled tyrant..
THE EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY .
As. the evidence accumulates of tho
Widespread destruction wrought by
the earthquake in" Italy,:it Js ce^p to
he easily the worst seismic disaster
except Messina that modern Europe
has known. Extending from below
Naples to 'Ferrure, 't has'rocked the
kingdom,from its .'".heel", to the Po,
and as respects the range of its de
atructlvoposs . it has apparently ex
ceeded ' any earthquake in Italy of
which there Is record. The convulsion
of nature of which the ancient Ro
mans stood in dread''ims now curious
ly come to pass, to the terror of their
descendants, and. ominously enough*
from' the point of vl?w of the super
stitious, at the very tf me of the world's
greatest cataclysm of war.
Whether 50.000 persons have been
killed and injured or double or half
that number, the total Iobs of Hfe Is'
destined to attain' proportions that
would to staggering it it were not for
the confusion'of mind caused by ob
vious comparisons with the loss of life
through human passion on Europe's
battlefields. As it is; it occurs under
conditions that accentuate raan'b
greater destructlveness than nature's
both. In the taking of human life and
the levelling of historic monuments.
For against the havoc in Italy there
U .the devastation in Belgium. .
The clvlllted ' world, while regret
ting, the dead in the earthquake, may
rejoice that'Rome was spared a worse
visitation' than by ,Goth or; Vandal.
Italy herself will have cause for s atis
faction if this "act of God" tips the
scale of indecision, and keeps the na
tion/frotai 86iagtto*heedleas war. Her
calamity at home, with its havoc com
parable to that of WAT, is enough to
engago all 'bei1 attention.?Kew York

A . PROPOSITION
Looking to the Erection of Grain !
Elevator Came in Yester
day.
That the fame uf Anderson County
as a grain growing section is wide
spread and that people throughout the
country know or the proposition on
foot here to erect a grain elevator for
the handling of the grain that is to
he produced in this county, is evident
from letters which came to the Cham
ber of Commerce from persons desir
ing to look into the elevator project
which business men and farmers of
this city and county have in mind.
The last letter of this kind came in
yesterday morning from North Caro
lina, and read;; as follows:
Hope Mills. Ni C. Jan. 18, 1915.
Mr. Porter A. Whaley, Anderspn, S.. ?.
Dear .Mr/ Whaley: I have hot heard
anything from you in some time in re
gard to Anderson elevator and flour
mill project/ I am much, interested
In this, and am very much in hopes
that we can get together on this mat
ter. I feel .yory sure.that I should
like very much to get in -business
with you and to livo in your city. If
there is anything I can do to be of
service to you in getting up the stock
or helping to organize and get the bus
iness on foot, I Rhould he very glad to
render you and your town this ser
vice.
As you knqv:? wheat as a commer
cial product "fluctuates rapidly at
times, often jumping from one ex
treme to another in a few hours, and
takes a man of .practical experience
and well balanced judgment to handle
the business successfully at such
times.
I should be very glad to hear furth
er from you in' regard to this mat
ter. Trusting that all Is well with you
and wishing for 'you and your city a
year of good business, attended with
prosperity and^?very success, I beg to
remain, i > . "tUCVi

Matter of Closing Up Details of

Although no local grain clevMor

has been organized, the Chamber of
Commerce lias received a letter, ad
dressed to the "Anderson Grain Ele
vator Company,*' in which the writer
expresses a wish to contract or sell
for June delivery some 3,000 bushels
of oats. The writer of the letter is a
dealer in general merchandise and
fertilizers who has an establishment
In the country. As soon as a grain
elevator company has been, formally
organized here, the communication
will he turned over to the Draper au
thorities, who will probably make
some roply to the inquirer...
The writer of the letter .asks tor a

will have them for sale and. la going
to sell them somewhere. (y?< it.: ?*oesn*t

In this connection It will be of- In??

farmers with reference to a grain ele
vator proposition and who has prac

back from Columbia, where he went
several days ago on a sight-seeing and
business trip combined.
It is probable that a grain elevator
company will be formally organized
In the next few days anda charter ap

behind the proposition to have work

Through activities of the Chamber
of Commerce arrangements have been
per fer toil where the demand fori offi
cial maps of Anderson County 'may
bo bad from the government for the
nominal sum of 20 cent^.
Some days * ago the - Chamber; of
Commerce took up with Senr.tor E. D.
Smith the matter of procuring an of
ficial map from the department of ag
riculture, which could be ustd as .a
basis for projecting.a new county map.
Such a map could be bad from the
department, and plans were under
consideration for turning the matter
over to a competent engineer in' or
der that he might proceed with the
making of the map. A letter. from
the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral, however, reveals a plan whereby
maps of the county can be secured at
far less cost than maps could be made
by a local engineer and sold to those
desiring them.
The fourth/ assistant postmaster
general wrlteB Secretary Por
ter A. Whaley of the Chamber of
Commerce that a rural route map of
Anderson County can be furnished
anyone desiring them for the actual
cost of printing.and ten.per cent; ad
ditional, as authorized by law. Maps
of this description may be had for 20
cents each. AH remittances for these
maps should be made by postal monoy
order, payable to the third assistant
postmaster general, division -,\ 'of; fi
nance, Washington, D. C. Postage
stamps and personal checks can"' not
be accepted in payment for the neaps'.
