THE WEATHER.
South Carolina : Itu In Friday with
strong northeast and cm>t winds; Sat*
urdu y probably fair.
o .
o ? OUR PA If Y POEM. o
-a s
Ceaseaueneee.
A traveler on a dusty road .
Strewed ?coros on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought Its shade at evening time
To breathe his early vows, ?
And age was pleased, in heat of noon
To bask beneath its boughs;
Th? dormouse loved its dangling
'twigs,
The blrda sweet music bore,
ft stood a glory In its place.
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost ita way
Amid.the grass and fern;
A passing stronger scooped a well
- Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in, and hung with care.
. A ladle at the brink; *
He thought hot of the deed he did.
But judged thst all might drin?-..
He paused again, and lo! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues
And saved a life beside.
A dreamer dropped a random1
thought;
'Twas old, and yet twas new;
A simple fancy of Ute brain.
But strong in being tra*.
It shone upon a genial mind,
And lol lt's light became
A lamp of life, a beacon ray,
A mocita ry flame.
Vhs .thought waa ama ii, ita issue was
great,
A watch-fire on the hill;
It shed Its radiance far adowa,
/ And cheers Ute valley still.
, A nameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the dally mart.
jLet fall a word of Hope and Love.
Unstudied from Ute heart;
.A whisper on the tumult thrown.
A transitory breath
It raised a brother from the dust
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word or love!
O thought at random east!
Ye wero but little at thd first.
But mighty at the last."
-Anon, New Yorix Msgatlno.
THE Al> MEN'S CLUB.'
Tho Intelligencer desires, to com
mend the organisation of the Ad Men's
Club oi Anderson. If the members of
thia club will get together and adopt
a constructive policy, there ls much
good which can be accomplished. The
greatest factor in building up any
business or any etty now is publicity
of the right kind. The men who are
behind the ad men's clubs of the conn
try are going to bo factors in build
ing up this sentiment.
The membership of this club is an
lenee of the earnest endeavor
!eh will be put'forth to curry out
a progressive policy. Anderson ls on
tho ???p. but the map on which she
murt be enlarged. The Ad
Meam fclub ofAnderaon cant' put it
therm I Long live the Ad Men's Club
of A&fteraon.
. FI. ?NT TEX AUBES OF CORN.
1? soM^-^'focd fer thought
.to a?aggestion made by ono of the
feegrX 'reader* of The Intelligencer.
Albeit-Childs, of Sandy Springs, h aa
written to this newspaper urging
every farmer of the county to plant
at least, ten acres of corn. It ls a
good suggestion, and one which wilt
be worth following, j? djtfldo says:
"Every man that farms should plant
at least ten acree of corn. W*>araait
to trust in tb* Lord for good sea
sons this year and w? beg the prayers
of all throughout the country around
that the Lord may bless ua this year
with good seasons sad ? hops thattl,e
land ?oldv/ra may see that the farmers
plant ten seres of corn."
T1IK PITY OF IT.
It were unnecessary to make de
tailed reply to the article of the Bep
tus correspondent In thin issue. lil
lias aimed wide of the mark and seems
to feel that his article has completely
annihilated The Intelligencer. We do
not see In thia, any sound argument
bearing on th0 proposed Issue.
The fact remains, in spite of any
thing which Mr. Casey may say. tho
roads of Anderson are and have been
almost impassable. As a business
proposition they should Ix- Improved.
The only way to do this is by sup
plying money with which to pay for
doing this necessary work. This must
be done In sufficient quantity to make
the amount expended worth while.
The only feasible way to do lt is to
pass a bond Issue, and build the roads,
paying for thorn while enjoying tho
benefits of the good roads built. Of
course ff thc money is lo bu frittered
away and wasted, it IM foolishness to
voto lt. Tho personnel of the com
mission named by the delegation is
proof that the money from the bond
issue will be wisely expended, and
that the people of the county will get
every mlle of good roads possible to
build with this money. To do this
will insure prosperity and conven
ience to the very people which, as Mr.
Casey asserts, are against the bond
Issue.
Mr. Casey has shown his readiness
and eagerness to tear down, what the
delegation did for tho good of thc
county, perhaps he has something to
offer which will answer the purpose
hotter thin this proposed bond issue?
If be has, let him come forward and
put his plan before the people. If he
has nothing better to offer, lt appears
to be poor policy to tocr down. Icono
clasts are more numerous than con
structive statesmen.
Another fact atares us in the face,
the county is about a century or per
haps more old. Will Mr. Casey in
form us ?hd the people of the coun
ty how many miles of permanent and
good roads the county has in it after
this more than a century of existence?
If there are noa?, then the plan fol
lowad certainly ia a failure and lt is
time to try Brome other. Suppose the
people kill this proposed bond issue,
how long will lt be before another
measure having for Its purpose the
improvement of the roads can be
pasMtd? Will it not put off the build
ing of permanent roads for a decade
or a generation? Who would have
tbo nerve to propose another plan for
building permanent roads?
The truth of the matter ts that
thero is nothing to be gained by a
short sighted policy which looks with
suspicion oa every enterprise that
does not originate under one's own
hat band. In this complex and com
posite world we must trust each other,
as there is too much work for any
one man to do. Thero must be mutual
confidence. And suppose that ftherc
sbould henpsn to he'ono man ?n *hc
road commission ' who does not meas
ure up to Mr. Casey's standard, are
there not eight others? Will they alt
Idly by and allow ono man to run thc
commission?
There ls a chance now for the peo
ple ot Anderson to do some construc
tive work in passing this bond issue.
If they pass it up and defeat It, An
derson County will lag behind her
sister counties and lt will be a most
costly blunder. How many miles of
permanent and good roads, will the
men who think as does our Septus
correspondent ever build? How many
have they ?vcr built? These questions
are asked tn ali kindness, for we
really believe that those who hold the
views of our correspondent need to
be informed as to what ia being ac
complished and how much tt is worth
to a county to have a system of good
roadB. Thia The Intelligencer is at
tempting humbly to do, and we call
upon our aoptua correspondent to
break his hammer and let us sll get
together and' boost a bit. It will be
an easy matter of course to voto it
down, but whore will the construc
tive program ot a bigger aud a bet
ter Andoraoa come in? Who will
build up tho county If we do not do
UT Whose county is it, anyway? Why
should not th? people of the city and
of the country get together and keep
Anderson County on thc top now and
always? '

A GREAT CONGRESS HAS ?
CLOSED ITS SESSION,
(CONTINUED mOM PAOE ONE.)
perplexing difficulties. Itu dignity and
it? strength alike will appear not only
in the revival of Its business, despite
abnormal conditions, hut also in its
power to think, to purpose, and to act
with patience, with disinterested fur
ness, and without excitement, in a
spirit of friendliness and enb iiten
ment which will firmly establish its?
Influence through the world."
Foremost In th?' enactments of tho
sixty-third congress were:
'rite Underwood-Simmons tariff act,
with tho income tax, which replaced
the Par'ne-Aldrleh tariff law.
Thc federal reserve act, reorganiz
ing the enrrency system.
Anti-trust laws to supplement the
Sherman act, Including the Clayton
law and federal trade commission act.
the former providing for punishment
of individuals who vinlute business
regulations und the lutter establishing
a government institution to aid in
keeping business within the law.
Kepcat of the Panama Can tl tolls
exemption for American cast-wise
shipping.
Act directing thc building at a cost
of $35,000,000 of a government rail
road to the mineral fields of Alaska.
Act to regulate cotton exchanges
and to penalize dealings in purely
speculative cotton future sales.
A government war risk insurance
bureau to insure American ships
against the hazards of war, and au
act providing for the transfer of for
eign-owned or built ships to Ameri
can registry.
Of those measures which failed ot
enactment or coul dnot be considered
for lack of time, the following are re
garded by Democratic leaders as par
amount:
Bill for government purchase or
charter of transoceanic ships for the
establishment of an American mer
chant marine which encountered the
most stubborn filibuster in the his
tory of the senate, created an Insur
gent i movement In the Democratic
ranks and held up general legislation
for weeks of the last session.
The immigration bill, including a
literacy test for admission of allens,
which passed both houses, was vetoed
by President Wilson and failed by a
narrow margin, to repase the house on
a motion to overturn the veto.
Conservation measure urged by thc
president to provide a new system for
leasing of water power sites and a
leasing system to open the mineral
resources ot the country.
Bill to enlarge the measure of Phil
ippine self-government and to extend
promise of ultimate Independence to
Filipino people, a measure whtch
passed the house and was approved
by a senate committee.
Regulation by the interstate com
merce commission of the issue of
railroad securities, originally a part
of the administration's anti.trust pro
gram.
Ur ural credits legislation content'
plating tho establishment ot a system
of farm mortgage loon banks, persis
tently urged throughout the congree?.
In addition to the foregoing, scoroa
of general legislative bills covering a
wide range of subjects died with the
end of the congress, among them,
? measures for federal road improve
ment, general waterway development,
reorganisation of the civil service, to
prohibit Importation of convict made
goods, and several measures for reor
! ganlitatlon of the army.
I The last session of the congress was
notable, too, for the failure of two
great Issues, national prohibition and
woman suffrage Proposed constitu
tional amendments precipitated two
of tho most exciting legislative battles
In the history of he house of repre
senatlves both measures falling to re
ceive a necessary two-thirds vote.
Foreign relations of the nation were
constantly to tbe fore almost front
the beginning of the congress. The
Mexican situation requiting close at
I teflon from the outset as has the Eu
ropean war. Throughout the session
' the. president and Ute senate foreign
relations committee were in frequent
contornees and much was done to re
strain unusual demonstrations which
might baye di turbed International
tranquility. hVitly in the session gen.
eral arbitr?t Io? treaties with several
great foreign powers were renewed
for five yeer periods and 26 peace
commission treaties providing for in
vestigation or International disputes
before resort to arma were negotiated
and ra tided, A treaty to enforce the
R?gulations adopted by the London
Safety* at Sea Conference waa ratified
last December, but with an amend
ment making reservations whtch came
too late for other powers to consider,
thus preventing enforcement of the
convention. A treaty with Nicaragua
providing for acquirement of the
Nicaraguan ?anal route and naval
'talions for 33,000.000 was left un rat
ified by the senate and the pending
treaty with Colombia - directing pay
ment of Wfl*m* tor ?*r* JO4

^The.c?oeQ%!gSw of the congress
