The Children.
Long hours or trouble come with
them,
And euch one calls for constant |
care.
They pay the prlc0 in sacrifice
Who wander where tho children
fare.
For I hey must give their Hvcb to them,
And shun the pleasures of the night, j
And stay at home, when others roam.j
...Nor yearn for frfvolous delight.
They bring long days of dread with j
them,
Thoy twine themselves about tho
heart;
With all their joys and nil their noise J
They bring a heap of ache and !
smart
It is no easy task to bo
Tho parents of a child or two,
Thoy brlog us work we must not
shirk.
. . Our will no longer may we do.
Thoy bring the tears of grief with)
them,
They bring tho anguish of despair, I
The greatest woe that mortals know [
-, Is that parents sometimes bear.
The yWy love thoy bring to ub
Io burdened-with-a heavy cross,
At timos, wo start, should thoy de
part
We wonder, could wo stand tho Iobb. I
isxr* ' ' ''
Yet there's no Joy that can compare
" With that the children bring to us,
Tborfl is no song, our wholo lives longj
Like that the ' children sing to us.
And ull our care and anxious nights, I
And all our fears aro worth the!
while,
Cheap Is the prlco in sacrifice
To pay to know a baby's smilo.

HAY THKY AUK GOING TO QUIT.
It has boon reported that certain
pubscribors to The Intelligencer liuvc
said that if we do not cut out our
comments on the good roads matter
they would'atop their papers. Well,
now, did you ever? Punish a news
paper that way for standing for prog
ress? Surely this was Intended as a
Joke and it is really amusing. Of
cours?, we do not expect everyone who
reads the editorials or comments to
agrcy with them, hut, Hud, you read
them and they will do you good. We
do not agree with the views of many
cf our readers on the road question
and on oth.'r questions, hut we arc not
going to stop sending you the paper
because you do not agree with us.
Why, It hi just what wo expect and
it is natural that everyone should not
agree with our views on this or many
other questions, but we hope no ono
will stop taking the paper because wu
arc in favor-of Rood roads Why, how
would you know what we are saying
about you if you do not read the
paper? Hut, now, honent, would you
borrow your neighbors paper if you
stop?
Thin might drive The Intelligencer
tu do us some other newspapers do?
stand for nothing, und you hud bet
ter hope we uhull nut do thin, for
there may come a time when you and
The Intelligencer will stand together
on some other .question. Road build
ing and bond isflites are not near all
this newspaper stands for, and we
shall endeavor to couvince you that
we are right before it is over. We arc
not nearly ready to tako to the tall
tlmber/i yet. but, in the words of the
Immortal Paul Jones: "We have not
yet begun :.-> flgbt." If a little infor
mation hut-is you as bad as that, we
would advise that you skip our "Good
Roads Department" and our editorials
on the bond issue.
WILL THEY NEED COTTON I
It has been argued that landlords
would not permit tenants ro farm
their lands and that tenants would
not care to farm lamia unless they
planted considerable cotton. Quite
recently considerable Interest haB
been shown In this matter, and It
seems that many tenants are anxious
to try the plan of planting other
crops than cotton. The Intelligencer
has received leers' recently from
some negro farmers, showing that
they realize the necessity for diversi
fication of crops. The following let
ter has been received from Tom
Groves, who works for- Mr. John
Linley. He says:
"I am going to try to make a thous
and dollars this year above expenses
for Mr.. Linley, oil the following
crops: 'Corn, wheat oats and pota
toes. I have three shoats and I am
going to make all I can off them, and
I pray that I may have success.
- "THOMAS GROVES.
"Anderson, March 6.".
GOOD ?UARS A RELIGIOUS
NECESSITY.
Today Is Sunday. It is a ehqrch
going day and in all the county there
witl be services iu many entireties,
Sunday schaols will be held la every
church and in many school houaes.
Tho attendance will not bo so very
large In many places, perhaps, on ac
count of tho condition of tho roads.
AH during tho winter thero hive been
many persons kept at homo during
the week and on Sundays because the
roads have not been ?attable for driv
ing several miles to and from chqrcb*.
Then if one drives several Etiles to
church or Sunday school through mud
and fog, he la not In a very good
frame of mind for listening to.a ser
mon, or for taking part in a religious
worship. So tho condition of the
roads have a direct bearing on the
religions lifo, of the community.
Hence; the bond issue, as a means
for aiding peoplo to reach their
church or Sunday school by good
roads. Is a religious necessity, or It
becomes a religious matter. This
statement will be borne out by every
minister who serves a rural congre
gation, end if thb bond issue were 'of:
to them it would carry by a big ma*
Jority, we arc sure.
We dqu't. know of any'advice" we
could give the Negro Rusineaa League
of the city in its discussion of the
quorUon "How Can We Decrease Our
Death Rate," but we know or. a sec
tion near hero where they could go if
they chose to increase the death rate
right quick.
The \Au8trians have been forced to
evacuate Cternowltx. We know of two
ether ouch outinndish names, both
beginning with the , letter P. and
would like to get off something real
classy in tut way of a paragraph on
this unpronouncable trinity, but blam
ed lfjwo can spell 'em.
Congressman Joe Johnson may be
well equipped for a federal judge, and
wo have no kick to make on that
score; but It looks rather selfish for
public officials to use the power en
trrated to them by th?t peoplo in
creating }oba for themselves.

WirolesB stations along the Atlantic
seaboard directed Vain queries to the
burning ship and the fleet of rescuers
reported to be around her. It was
thought these messages would carry
as far as La Touralne but her wire

probably are too weak to send back
answers.
La Touralne was heavily loaded.

LONDON, March g.r-Havlng, as
Petrograd' claims, successfully coun
tered the Austro-German attempts to
outrank him In eastern Gallcla and
frcm East Prussia, Grand Duke NicV
Mas, Prussian commnnder-in-chicf. is
said to be threatening|again at tho
center of the Teutonic allies n Po
land.
A few days ego the Russans were
said to have gained a little ground
on the Bzurn and Rawka rivers. Yes
terday the reports mentioned & Rus
sian attack near Skiemiewlce and
today Vienna says the Mnsscovires
made partial attacks east ot.~Piotrkow.
This Is about the point where the
German and Austrian armies are link
ed, and a successful thrustN hera
would, according to military observ
ers, compel a genera! retirement in
central Poland and enable the Russian
generalissimo to resume his offensive
against Cracow, which always has
been foremost in his plan of com
paign.
From all accounts received from
Petrograd, which at present- is the
only source of information, the Aua
trlans have suffered a vtery severe de
feat In eastern Galicia and now are
In full retreat toward the Carpathians.
In the mountains to the westward the
fighting, which has. been continuous
and intense for weeks, still is in pro
gress. The 'wo armies are contending
desperately for the ridges. The losses
in these battles are declared to have
been as serious ?a any in the war, but
neither side has conceded more than
a few yards of the rocky .slopes at
a time.
The Russians also have been at
tacking along the Dunajec, in western
Galicia, but apparently without mak
ing any impression on the Austrian
defences which are very strong on
this river.
In northern Poland the Russians
continue striving hard to drive the
Germans back to East Prussia and
prevent them from entrenching in
Russian territory, as they have done
rjuuLii u? the iower Vistula. It is said
at some points this drive is meeting
with considerable success and that at
Plages the Germans actually are on
their frontier; but at other points the
Germans arc declared to have suc
ceeded In checking the. impetuous
Russian offensive.
A little more lWoliness is evident
along the western front where the
French continue their attacks against
the Germans. According to Paris the
French have, made progress in the
Champagne and the Argonne regions.
The Germans, however, have .deliver
ed spine sharp counter attacks Which
L'erlln report cays have been suc
cessful.
On the whole these tastlcs seeming
ly have not succeeded in materially
chanr,'ag the position of the two
armies. If. the French have mads the
progress in the Champagne region
with which they credit themselves,
military observers believe, it will
doubtless bring about a big battle
such as similar advance did at Sols
sons, or a readjustment of the German
front in this region.
Ab the allied fleet slowly progresses
in its attacks on the Dardanelles the
effect is reflected in English grain
markets, where prices steadily are
falling.
SANTIAGO, Chile, March 6.?Owing
to the tremendous rise in the price of
flour and wheat th? government to
day announced that both these pro
ducts would be admitted free of duty.
