His brow ls wet with grease-and yet |
I do not think heil spoil;
He looks a fellow In the face
And cbargeth for his toil.

VOTE r EARLY TODAY.
Vole carly today for the good roads
bond Issue. This ls said to those who
favor the issuance ot bonds tor the
purpose of building good roads. It
may bo that you think lt ls no ute for
you to go to the polia end rete, but
rememU - that YOUR, vote may de
cido the matter. There will not be
the walk-over some predict , for the
opposition, and this election . could
rarry for the bond issue lt the peo*
pie would. turn out and vote. It Is
predicted that there, will be only a
small Vote cast, aad a number ot
boxes did not go out to some ot tue
largest voting precincts in the county,
BO it ia easily within the range ot
possibility for the etectloi. to go by
default to one aide , or the ollar, lt a j
little Interest la shown. For la*
stance lt the people of the city of
?I orson -who favor th? bond Issue
will turn ont today and rote, and the
friends ot the proposition who lire
outside the. city there would -be but
, one reBult. Will they do lt? Tbs
tabulated vote tonight will ten the
tale.
Anderson can well afford thia bond
issue? and it will he the bett invest
ment that was ever made by the peo
ple ot the county. This ls .our .hon*
,x oat conviction, and the editor would
>at urge Ulis ii he did not believe lt
t<>\ie true. Anderson has splendid
roa*.* for a part ot the year, hut at
the very time whee the farmers and
rural residents have most leisure te
travel, the roads are almost impas
aablo. This was especially true last
winter, and may be trna every winter
from toHv on. To remedy thia, there
must be some method used oe the-j
travelled roads, which will preven''!
this con ditton: .Only a permanently
rcnsttructfc'd road will do this, and it
?.ill have to have a foundation which
w!U otana the wear and tear of beary
and' contiunOua ? raffle. T?e material
for this ls light here la Ute county,
and tho money derived, ?ter?fore,
r/ould "be tipcat righi here at home,
ii the pririlort ot $760,000 whir
he sheol ?his year .->ould be
regular bonanza to those who will
need work.
Hui, Tho Intelligencer will be con
tent to leave this verdict with the
people. As we said before they will
have to ride over the roads and if
made they will have to pay for them.
So it ls no more our funeral than
theirs, and only as a watcher ^n the
house-top have we tried to ? it out
the better way. A sign board does
not compel a man to go the way it
points, and a newspaper can only re
mind and suggest. May the best side

History .will be made between the

GOOD HOADS NEEDED FOR LIGHT
TRAFFIC. ?.
Travel over country roads *.A by no
means composed chiefly of heavy
hauling. While teeni in heavy freight
ing for a shoii period after harvest,
the large majority of trips the farmer
makes over the highways are with
light load or no load at all. While
the maintenance of rural delivery
and the establishment of the parcel
po-it have greatly diminished the
number of trip the agricultural pro
ducer a.ust make between his farm
and ma? ket town, yet the greater por
tion cf his travel Is with a light load,
when speed of travel ls of the chief
consequence in order that time may
not be wasted. Thrse people of an
cient timos who expressed distance
in units of a "day's Journey" had a
more accurate conception of the
value of time than do those who have
bc?u accustomed to measure distance
only in miles. To the rural resident
the distance from town, or school or
neighbors is n > AOTC Important than
the condition of the road aud the
time required in travel. Prospective
buyers of farra property recognise
this and willingly pay higher prices
tor laud situated on improved roads.
The Improved highway, suitable .for
travel ht all seasons of the year, is,
therefore, very important to the far
mer when used for light traffic as
weU aa when used for transporting
the 700,000.000 tons of produce which
annually is. carried over the high
ways ot the United States.

ooooecoooo
Well Mr. Editor, we are glad that
the bond question is soon to be set
tled and that oui* pdople can get
their minds on something els?.
Since this question esme up we
li a ve bad no time to talk about re
ligion, about the war, about prohibi
tion, about cotton acreage, about our
neighbors nor anything else. Even
our good women np here got so in
terested In the question tua* they
hare not taken the time to discuss
the new style of spring hats. Now
Just think what we men folks up here
have got to endure with our women
at least two weeks behind with their
talking.
Of course we are sorry that that
wolf didn't "Jump up" while we were
out hunting for we are sure that we
could have at least one or two good
races out of bim. We have always
heard that a wolf good scared could
out run the devil and since als one
came out ao late in the day and "tip
toed" so lightly through The Intelli
gencer we are sure that a very Ht
tie racket would have made him Join
the "bird gang."
And now should Burris and Fant
Reid this and decide to move West
and Join us in a Wolf hunt they
could get some good bints from a
book we once read entitled "James
Henry Going Around the Curve."
Here of late we have not been keep
ing up with the local and social olde of
Septus, however, we don't know of
any marriages, deaths nor. babies.
The grain crop is looking good and
since Uncle Rube is going to out his
cotton acreage twenty five per cent
and his fertilizer bill ono third or
more he is going to try and make
less cotton this in year in spite of the
farm demonstrators.
'Uncle Rube read some Imo ago in a
good newspaper that to feed his hens
on a certain kind of load would make
them lay more eggs and of course the
old man lost no time in getting the
Coods and sure enough the little "red
hen" got on the job and produced
two eggs where she had only been
producing one and now Uncle Rube
ls getting for the two eggs Just what
he had been getting for one and he
don't like lt one blt. Well Uncle
Rube didn't we tell you that the other
fellow only wanted you to produce
more that he might get it for less.

Mr. Sol Lesser of the Lesser Co.,
returned from New York. Boston, Bal
timore and Philadelphia Sunday,
where he had been for the puBt two
weeks or more to purchase spring
goods for his firm.
Mr. Lesser reports that there were
fewer buyers in the market while he
was there than at any time since he >
han been going to market, which cov-1
ers quite a period of time. Mr. Les
set states that the jobbers and man
ufacturers wHh whom he came in con
tact hrd very little ur nothing to say
about the war, ja fact, lt looks from
appeuranrea up north that the people
up there expect an early cessation ot
hostilities.
Mr. Les-'jr reports that owing to
his delaying his trip to market os he
did, he found that he waa in a splen
did position to take advantage of spe
cial bargains offered thia late in the
Jobber's season, and being on the
ground, he naturally took advantage
of them. Mr.. Lesser wab very
enthusiastic over th?se extira values
which he picked tip. while Kt market,
and asked The Intelligencer rrftn to
tell the people1 that he would soon
have some very attractive store news
for them.

MONDAY
HIGHEST PRCE REACHED
SINCE BEGINNING OF EU
ROPEAN WAR
OFFERED FOR ONE
LOT OF 50 BALES
But the Farmer Declined to Take
It-Reported on Good Au
thority Staple Sold for 9
Cent* Last Saturday
Cotton sold yesterday on the streets
of Anderson for 9 cents per pound,
this being the highest price the
staple has reached locally since the
nations of Europe last fall became
locked In one of the bitterest wars of
history.
"Yes elr," said a prominent buyer to
a reporter for The Intelligencer, "you
can put lt in your paper in the morn
ing that cotton brought 9 cents to
day on tho Anderson market, the
highest price reached since tho bc*
ginning of the European war."
The buyer went on to state that he
had Just made a prominent farmer of
the county' an offer of 9 cents for over
50 bales, hut the farmer wouldn't sell.
Little of the staple was offered for ?
salo ou tho streets yesterday, how
ever, and the buyer asserted that
there had been mighty little cotton
sold in the past several weeks.
* As a matter of fact, it was report
ed on good authority that 9. cents was
paid tor cotton on the local market
last Saturday. But not until yester
day did the formal market price go up
to 9 cents.
The cotton market has been sur
prising. In the earlier months of the
season predictions were many, and
without fall were to the effect that the
price would be six or seven cents
and maybe less, here appeared to bc
no hope for the market. The crop
was the largest ever raised. It looked
as if the export tr ado would be prac
tically nothing.
Unlike most other years, there was
no rushing of the market. The farm"
era held back their staph.-, and fed
the market.gradually. The price final
ly began to rise and little by little it
worked its way up until now the nine
cent level had been reached-and con
sidering the sise ot the crop, this is
not.such a bad price, after .all. For
a time the price was bolstered up by
the condition of interior roads, which
prevented the bringing of cotton to
the market. From the beginning, al
most, the export demand has been
larger than was anticipated:
The gradual feeding ot the market,
the export demand, and the excep
tionally large takings of domestic
mills have contributed to the riBe ard
firmness.of the market. The S\\B were
soon cleared of German and Austrian
men-o'-war, and with this accomplish
ed exports continued to England, Ja
t??n, France and other countries, al
ilhough the exporta were smaller than
normal. England announced that cot
ten could be shipped to Germany and
Austria, and would not be molested.
This increased the exports and the
price was again proped up. Added to
this ' favorable foreign eltuation, the
fact that the derna .d tor cotton goods
in increasing, and the fact also that
Amener" mills are called upon for
what is' practically a maximum output
and you will have the explanation, in
-oart of'the slow but ateady rise in
the price, of the Southern "King"
.which for a time was In grave danger
?* being dethroned and which will
probably lose some of his autocratic
penver, even though he Is ip bettor fa
vor, now than a few months ago.
Don't forget either, that thousands of
bales.'wore badly damaged by expos

Its effect for these balea are worth
very little.
The right of the "king" havp been
Infringen upon by other agricultural
products, so that today lt looks as if
the formerly absolute monarch. King
Cotton will hereafter reign in limited
fashion. Efforts to take from him by
statutory law* some ot bis power, have
been futile. But the law of supply
