Wo ?aiiot .????. any good ca UH?! for
alarm and wo f?:el sure that lhere will
not be any ?lire culuinitiea following
in tho wak?? of (be war, in so fur a?
this country i? concerned. Why
should theru be? We an- far removed
from Du' Heat uf the conflict, and can
make everything we nevil al boin?-.
We have abundance of capital for fin
ancing ?mr enterprises, and for fur
ther development. For any ?rlsls to

of our moat powerful forces must play
traitor. Hither (be govern melli will

either event will transpire, but that
the great good sense of our people
?viii assert itself and prevent any sac
rillce of properly or business inter
eats.
Thal which causes most anxiety and
Interest in the south is thc price of
cotton. The meeting hohl yesterday
in Washington, ami the great Interest
manifested by the leuders in finance
ami In legislation, to say nothing of
the positions taken by the govern
ment officials of the country, would
Indicate that there is nothing to cause
alarm in the south. That a way will
be devised to meet the demands of the
cotton seller has not caused us u mo
ments thought. We feel sure that a
good plan will be evolved to save the
money crop of the south.
On this mutter the Augusta Chron
icle has the following to say:
There ls at least one encouraging
feature to the problem of financing
the south's cotton crop, and that is.
the leading yenators and representa
tives at Washington arc now fully de
termined to do ull in their power to
provide government relief for the sit
uation, so far as it can be done within
legitimate bonds.
The panicky feeling that was pre
valent everywhere a week or ten days
ago has subsided to a certain extent ;
or, at least, Is giving way to calmer,
more dispassionate consideration of
the problem and plans for Its solu
tion. This does not mean that there
ls any less anxiety, or any less will
ingness and determination to find a
remedy; but, rather, that the able men
in Washington and elsewhere who
have Ute matter well in hand have
simply settled down to a careful an
alysis of thc case and are applying
themselves studiously and earnestly j
to the development of practical plans |
for relief.
First of all, they seem to feel tha-.
too hasty action may make for mis
chief; therefore they have set about
their task in a business like way,
thoroughly digesting the numerous
plans that were so hurriedly present
ed for their consideration, eliminating
those that seem, on their face, to be
Impracticable, and diligently weigh
ing those that offer greater promise
of a suceBsful solution.
It seems to bo the consensus of
opinion that everything must walt
a few we?iks, at beBt. In on'er to see
If the European situation may not
clarify Itself to a certain extont;
either through a decisive naval en
gagement, or a practical bottlin * up
of the German fleet^thercby li . mg
the English mills free to use otu cot
ton without further interruption. The
best opinion ls that thiB is a practical
certainty.
The argument is put forth that the
south still has from four to six wooka
or oven a litllo longer, before coming
faco to faco with the situation, inas
much as no great amount of cotton
will move before Ocober 1st; and that
the measures of relief already, or that
are about to bo provided, will take
care of the situation up to that time
without any great harm being done.
ATTEND FA ICM Kits' INSTITUTES.
One of the things hard to -inderstand
is why the attendance upon conven
tions, institutes, and gatherings of an
educational nature is usually so
small. For several yerjrs Clemson
College and tho United States depart
ment of agriculture have been en
gaged in conducting farmers' insti
tutes over the state and furnishing
some of their ablest talent for thc
purpose of giving valuable Instruction
to the farmers upon questions of vital
Interest. It ls a rare thing for Uiese
institutes to be attended by large
crowds. Why 1B hla? Do not our peo
ple wish to receive Instruction In mat
tera pertaining to their life and liv
ing? Let lt* be a political gathering
and they will be there and make the
welkin ring with their enthusiastic
shouts of approval for their favorite.
Is the science of government as lt ls
conducted in Sooth Carolina, fer' ex
ample, so ennobling and elevating
that thousands feel it their duty 16 nt
tend whenever there is to be a slug
ging match on the hustings? Let the
object of iii?- meet lng bc educational
and uplifing, .uni important business
will K. .-j, iii?, majorit) al home*. Will
'Anderdon county people attend the'
forthcoming farinent' insinues as eag
erly ami large]) as they have attend-'
ed th. pol lt jeal speakings this sum
mer? We trust they win.
The following fruin thc Progressive j
Farmer is o good and so much to tile
point thin wc ask its perusal:
W.- wish to urge, ton, that you be
gin righi now to Jot down the points
you wisli discussed, and then, if the
speakers do nut cover them, ask ques
tions freely. Hear in mind, however,
(hut most of the institute workers'
should he ami an- specialist.-, and that
lt may take three or four of them to '
answer all your questions. Just now
winter soil Improving crops-clovers
and vetch particularly-are topics of
intense Interest to the wide-awake
farmer, and we would suggest that
you make the institute the occasion
for getting all necessary* information
for success will these crops. Then
there will he tin- veterinary and live;
stock men, who will discuss hog chol
era and how to prevent lt with the
serum treatment; how to eradicate
cattle ticks, animal diseases, and feeds
and feeding; the general field crop
men, who will discuss corn and cot
ton, fertilizers and cultivation; and
possibly me? who will tell how to
combat insect enemies and plant dis
eases. In fact, the store of good
things awaiting us at these meetings
is so great that we simply cannot af
ford to stay away. Still another
point we would emphasize is that
these meetings are niore ami more be
coming a source of instruction and
entertainment for the entire family.'
T'.'n year in North Carolina a number
of capuhle women institute workers
will be in the Held, and the Idea is
gaiulng favor in other southern states.
Why not arrange fur the whole family
to go, with a mid-day ."dinner on
the ground," followed by games for
the young folks after, the speaking is
over? Such a day, participated in by
the entire neighborhood, will mean re
creation and luspiration for a whole
community.
THE WAK AS AN EXCUSE.
The Intelligencer learns that many
folks .vho ure approached by -tho
ubiquitous bill collectors, and they
are essential to business success, put
them e*f by saying that they cannot
pay jow on acount of the war. Then
again there is a feeling that nothing
new should bc undertaken till we sec
what the war is doing and how it
turns out. Such views are all wrong.
It is al\ right to be conservative, but
sometimes there is such a thing as
being too conservative, and retarding
progress. The way to keep the- war in
Germany and France is to prevent any
of the effects of the war from coming
home. Why should we in Anderson
county, the leading agricultural coun
ty in South Carolina, if not tn the
country, begin thus carly to cry hard
times, and bring home the effects of
the war on another continent?
Let the merchants advertise as us
ual, and the people buy as they have
been accustomed to buying, and build
us they have been building in Ander
son, write as many letters and Invite
company as usual. Then on the first
of the month pay all bills when pre
sented if possible, and we can laugh
vj. the war.
E1TIIEK POLITICS OK WAIL
It is a hard"'matter to write any
thing for a newspaper now, espec
ially an editorial, without mentioning
politics or thc war. And, judging from
tho interest manifested by the readers
it is useless to write on.any other sub
jects. Womans suffrage baa to take
a back scat, and even Mrs. Pankhurst
is a back number. Well, politics ia
politics, and war is hell, to repeat
Sherman's view. Suppose we lot lt
go at that.
?-vspupors as Educators.
There is no doubt but that if we
could get teachers and pupils in all
our country schools to reading good
farm papers, we would have an agri
cultural revolution in a mighty little
while. The educational value of news
papers indeed ls by no means appre
ciated as lt should be. Three good
newspapers in a home, In the course
of a year, will be worth a month's
schooling to the children. We only
recently came across this testimon>
given by Daniel Webster:
"Every parent whose son ls away
from home at school should supply
him with a newspaper. I remember
what marked difference there was
between those of my schoolmates who
had and who had not access to news
-papers. Other things being equal the
flrat were always superior to the losV
in debate, in composition and general
Intelligence." .
And of course if your boy ls at home
he ought to read tho beat papers reg
ularly.-The Progressive Farmer.
Watch flu- ("undlilates.
"When a mun ?auls tu KO to thc
legislature he ought ti. want to KO to
do something for himself. A man
who does not know what he wants to
do or does not know what he ought
to do when he go? . '>> the. legislature,
generally does wh.it the "crowd"
wants him to do. Thal UK ?ins he some
times doe- things h.- ought not to. A
man who has no program of his own

part lu the program of some other
fellow."-Wilmington Star.

The Sacred Secret.
Thc State agrees with Mr. John G.
Richards that he is under no obliga
tion to declare how he voted in 1912.
There is no necessity for lt.
The State was confident in 1912 that
Mr. Richards voted ' for Judge Jones.
Undoubtedly friends of Judge Jones
were permitted so to believe. Undei
that impression they supported Mr.
Richards. The Slate refuses to dispute
disingenuousness to Mr. ?Richards.

ANDERSON TALKS
TO AUGUSTA, GA.
Toll Line Will Be Established to
Georgia Town From This
City via Greenwood
On April 18 of this year tho Ander
son .Chamber of Commerce tock up
with Manager W. S. Henty, of the
Southern Boll ' Telephone Company
the matter of a toll line from this city
to Augusta, Ga., via the Charleston Sk
Western Carolina Railway. It is un
derstood ? that Manager. Beaty stated
then that the line wouiG hardly 'bo a
paying proposition but he promised
that he would do his best, z
?n?fiterdny ?? was. clrcuiuieu on the
streets of Anderson that the telephone
company has hit upon the idea of 'ha v.
lng their line between this city and
Greenwood put into porfect condition
and arrange to handle service from
this city via Lowndesville, Barnes and
Intermediate stations, ' BO that excel
lent service will to maintained be
tween this city und Augusta.
It is a matter of common knowledge
that the territory traversed between
this City and Augusta by the most di
rect route would.not be able to sup
port a toll line. However, via Green
wood the telephone company will be
able to furnish the very best service
at'the sante time saving thousands of
dollars in additional expenditure.
The secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce said last night that he was
well pleased over tho half-way meas
