Alf IMPORTANT MEETING
Tho meeting df the chamber of
commerce to be held, next Monday
night is a most' important one, and
one that should b? attended by every
person in Anderson wno wishes the
city well, and would have it advance
as it has been advancing in the past
few year?. Thp jhamber of commerce,
with Secretary whaley at its head, has
been moat active in promoting every
thing that would tend to Improve con
ditions In this city er in the county.
It rtanda for a Jarger'and a b'sgcr
Anderdon, and. ls always, on the look
out for new business. As much has
not been done during the past few
months as could be desired, hut that
is no fault of the chamber of com
merce. Tile, couditlpns. making prog
ress possible have not existed, and
nothing could be dope. But these con
ditions!, ara bohiad* us BOW, and there
will be an increasing amount of prof
itable industry for the organisation
representing tti? ^business Interests of
the city. Therefore, the best men pos
sible should be selected to lead this
organisation, and to fill the vacancies
on the board of directors. The mem
bers whose terms of office expire are
due the thanks of the organisation
and of Anderson for their efforts, and
they have been powerful factors in
making, Anderson g^pw ?greater. Their
successors should be chosen with care
end should represent progressive
thought and live business policy.
NOT RIGHT TIME
The Intelligencer la an advocate of
commission form of government; and
at a proper time will be found in the
front ranks ?ghting for. lt. but we re
spectfully subpU^th^^U is no time
to begin the agitation ot a commis
sion form of government for Ander
son. We cannot learn who is father
of the present agitation, Which in lt-s
self is not a very good sign. If there
ls a demand (or a commission form
of government at tbWipartmular time,
any more than has been tho c**)e {0T
some tims, we have not'beard of it,
and we would like ; tc, know who Is
backing.this present circulation of pt -
tltlone and for What?
. Ws are of the opinion that one thing
at a time ls a good motto to follow,
and we' would like to have the paving
proposition put through now, and
then take up the commission form ot
government We deplore any effort to
muddy the waters, or to water the
mud, till the people haye spoken on
the question ot^pavlng. We look upon
this aa the paramount issue tn the de
velopment of the city Just now? sad
anything! that detracta from the In
terest In this proposition is to bo de
plored. We do need a comm UK. ?on form
of government and w? need further
than that, g city manage-r. after the
most approved methods of handling
the affairs of cities that ara progres
sive, bat this will all come in good
time.
