SPEED 'THE DAT."
The practically unanimous voice of
the chamber of commerce in favor of
street paving, as evidenced last night
by the volume of applause greeting
every reference to paving of Ander
son's streets, was commendable, lt
shows the'spirit of get together which
has characterized so many forward
movements In this city, and Wo believe
now that there will no longer be any
doubt as to the passage .ot the paving
propositions. The commission ls in
every way able and ready to handle
the proposition, and the people nave]
confidence in the ability and Integrity
of this commission as a whole, and
there ,8 no doubt In any mind thut
street paving is badly needed. So there
are only' two things remaining, and
these are the passage of the Btw. and'
the opportunity to rote. These will
come in the next few weeks, and then
there wl)l be- less mud in Anderson.

A WISE CHOICE
We feel ?ure that we voice the senti
ments of every person who is at all
progressive, when we say that no bet
ter choice of members to succeed thc
directors o? the chamber of commerce,
who*e term of offl<> lias expired, than
was made last night. These gentlemen
all represent the progressive and new
spirit of the city, and will stand for
the continued growth r nd development
of thc city ulong prop.?: lines. No bet
ter members could have been had than
those from whom the mantle of office
fell. So there ls cause for congratula
tion all round, and we confidently look
for tliis Infusion of new blood to re
sult in activity and growtn.
For the consideration -of this board
of directors, we would urge more fre
quent meetings of the chamber ot com
moree, and the udoption of "The Tren
ton Idea." Let the sphere of Influence
of this organization bc extended, and
reach out to thc neighbor who lives
more than a few city blocks from the
court house. Make him feel that he will
hi. welcome to come and fraternize
and plan with his city cousin for the
growth of their county seat and their
county.
ANDERSON'S CONTROLLLINC
SPIRIT
The forces which for the past few
years have brought about a splendid
development In- the city of Anderson
sud baterially aided In Intelligent ?nd
remunerative farming in Anderson
County, have been marshalled and
thoroughly organized or effective work
for the year 1915, aud the beat there j
Is In every man should be forced to j
the front in the. determination to
make greater progress in 1915 than
In any previous year. Here are Ideas,
taken from Town .Development, that j
should' characterize every citizen:
I am the community spirit.
In mc ls seen the composite of the
souls of the dwellers in my communi
ty. ....
Through use ia found expression of
the alms, the ideas and the ambitions
of my people.
L From tte* the-world gets lt? tmpros
I stuns of my community.
I am Uo better thr.n the best that
create mc, and no worse than the
worst.
I. am the spirit of ruy community.
Foy the ?ake of posterity; in the in.
te rest of progress and prosperity; to
make life worth living in the com
munity. 1 should bo the highest type
of community spirit.
I con be of a higher type if moro
people strive to maka me so.

Support Your Local Paper.
Southern Textile Bulletin.
Very few people realize how hard
the press of tho south has been blt
Since the "war began.
A local' paper receives its revenue
from "foreign" advertising, local ad
vertising, ami subscriptions.
Foreign advertising ls advertising
received from mail order house,
patent medicine firms, etc.. from out
side the Immediate territory covered
by the publication and auch advertis
ing ha* to a large extent cancelled be
cause of the impression that there ls
little buyUig power tn the south at
this time.
Local advertising has been serious
ly curtailed because ' many of tho
local merchants have been in tight
places to collect accounts due by
farmers.
The papera must therefore. de
pend at tht-r time largely upon sub
scriptions and wo appeal to the mill
people of every town or village to
aid their local papers to woather
tun. storm by paying what they owe
their local paper on subscription or
sending them, a new subscription.
A local paper ls an asset to every
town and- village and knowing'- 'the
serious financial condition ot most
of them at prosent we make this ap
peal in their' behalf.
Every donar counts with a local
poper now and the amount o' the sub
scription of the mill population would
tide over many of them.

STREET PAVING
SUPREME ISSUE
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
petitlcuH circulated would state ia
plain terms that the bond issue
would carry only in case the abut
ting property law carried. The times
are protltioua now for thia work, as
everything is so cheap, the material
and labor to construct being obtain
able at a smaller coat now than
would have been possible some time
ago. The purpose of the commission
is to make the terme as easy as pos
sible, and If the people assessed pre
ferred a longer term than five years
for making payment, the commission
would favor even a ten year term.
A number of concrete examples cf
the cost per 100 feet of street paving
were glvym.. These figures bad been
compiled by City Engineer Sanders
and are approximately correct. . Ho
stated that on five yearly payments
the resident on River street, 27 feet
wide, would, pay each year only
$12.50 for every 100 feet front; 40 feet
wide, without car line, $32; Mala
street, 70 feet wide, $51 per year, for
live years -
The total coBt of paving to the
limit of the following streets: North
Main, South Main, River, Market and
Calhoun, a total of five miles would
cost $140,000. Mic Duffie and al! cross
streets from Calhoun to River street,
a total of about seven 1-2 miles,
could be paved for $200,000.
Mr. Sullivan stated he would Uke
to h a vp questions asked by those in
terested. It was suggested by an
auditor that the impression had gone
abroad that taxes would be made very
heavy if this proposition should
carry. This be said was an error, aa
ii,e citizens residing along the street
payed would pay half, and the en
tire tax paying public would pay the
oilier half.
.Mayor Godfrey Makes Statement.
Mayor Godfrey, who waa present,
stated that the taxpayers now were
paying from $10,000 to $12,000 street
tax. The Interest on $100,000 bonds
.would be only $5,000. so the street
.tax, he explained, would be ioss. He
also explained the franchise of the
Southern Public Utilities Co.. which
provides for their paving between the
rails and eight inches on each side.
Commending the election ot 'tho
pavf;ig commission and compliment
ing (hem ' on their ability, Mr. Sulli
van 'urged the laying aside of petty
differences and work al I-together for
paving. . Streets such as Anderson
now ties are unsightly, unhealthy,
insanitary and a menace to health
and happiness. He felt that a whirl

would result In a twc-thirds major

Mayor Godfrey requested that tho
audience expresa an cointon as to
ahether there should be one or , two
factions-one on the bond Issue and
fons on the abutting property, . la*fc]
General Bonham thought it wise, to
can a meeting at some future'time
IO consider thia matter. Mr. T. I?rsmk
Watkins asked when the law '.riould
pasa the legislature. Mri. ^sdgaan
stated it should become n jaw* fais
?week or early next week, and the
election could be bald *tt ?':out three
.weeks, or by April i.
Chairman Hammett, stated he
would .not press the matter now, but
would ask . those pr?sent to discuss*
this matter And distase it with la
flly'dus? rasrnbers ortbe commission;
fi C^tir^an Ssjiimctt said thai if the j
people of Jrnflerson did not sonni
pave her streets she would go back
ward, and aa a personal matter and
as a repr?sentative of one of the larg
est taxpayers, he would favor street
paving. He thought the commission
a good ono nnd if the city, will. not
pave now wo had aa well do away
with the (Chamber of Commerce, the
V. M- C. A. and all good agencies
working for the upbuilding ot the
city.

RUSSIANS MAKE GOOD SOLDIERS
Need Better Officers and Commissary |
Supplies.
Hanover, .inn. 2?. - The Hussiuu
soldier is better than is popularly
believed, 'according to the letter .of al
German officer,''serving with the ana-]
tes In Poland.
"Near L, wo took about 1,000 pris
oners," wrote the officer.' "So tho
report said: As ? matter or fact wc
took about 2,00?^ The first lot as
more or less a thousand, and then,
during tho day.< a hundred were gath'
ered here and another hundred lhere.
'It is trUe that out hen-, we do not
think much of a thousand prisoners.
But lt seems to be different out in
the west I read for instance that we
had taken 231 prisoners there, and
no doubt, somebody said ono French
mon or an Englishman ls tho equival
ent of ten Russians.
"But'that is not true. Among the.
prisoners taken here there are mai?y
well-built and strong fellows . w?t?i
mUdligeht face!, who believe to our
Way of thinking.. The trouble is that
he ls too much a part of a machine.
If the Russian soldiers had our lead
ers and commissariat, then Frunce
would have been able to do without
her other antes.''
