He will be treated as a citizen fiMLas a. gentleman, as he ia. If he gets top beat of the argument, we will bow gracefully, for we esteem bim to be an honorable man. Our "attack was merely an appeal to ?his candidate and a number of other citizens of Anderson who really have* been r.isjed into believing juBt as he does. We observe that the pub lication referred to in our opening sentence did not try to answer our arguments, stated in the politest and fairest way possible. We laid down certain propositions. We Invite contradiction. Wc ?tated that Anderson bas a fair contract fer public utilities. We stated that what this town needs now ls not a post mortem over things that have gone before, for we certainly hope all will be threshed out in the courts and the public pu ix posses Bion of all facts, and that matter end ed. The local afternoon publication has Not endeavored to answer any of these argumenta. Why nut I *V? !??*.? ? fair and unprejudiced public to study ibis natter calmly.

TILLMAN'S SUGGESTION The Interview from Senator Till nan. ls very Interesting, especially aa ie says that he la the author of the institution and by-laws ot the party. Ve have heard him say-in the cam aign between Col. Hoyt and Mr. Mc Iweeney-practically the same things tuted In this letter from Waahlng un. We know that Senator Tillman ins long wished to reform the rules of tarty. It seems to UB that , the suggestion te offers ls common sense, although he machinery may be just a little blt umbersome. We do not see bow the ?arty can get around making new lub rolls anyway, as this should be lone every two years, or the old ones arefully revised, but as to the number if coplea that are to bo made, that uay be too great a tax upon the club ifflcers, and the party hasn't much nnds. As to printing ot the names on the lub rolls, we dont see why the news tapers of the state should be willing o do that gratis. We know that this ?per would print the names of all the lub rolls If the party wished lt. and here would be more tn thia county han In oom* others.

May 16.-The Asiatic In stitute of lilia .city ltux mude public tlvo firat of a series of reporta from W. W. itoekhill. former Culled State? minister to Chins, ?nd more recently ambassador to Russia, later to Tur key, on the situation In Mongolia, in beilulf of the Asiatic Institution Mr. I Itoekhill recently penetrated the re-j ginns where one,, powerful Mongol races have been trying to maintain its) independence from the Republic of j China.

I as the land of Khalkas. The newly created state^den i ?pot where ail that remains Tartary is to survive or''pe Mr. Fockhill. Here is all left of perhaps the most wo empire of all time, that er horseback by Chenghis Khan. ? Outer Mongolian aspirations tb' alone is altogether dependent o adjoining powers, says Mr. Rockhill. "They know their helplessness and ll thait for the present their fate is seal-ij ed,, . In his opinion the Mongol race tt-iii founder completely without thc cooperation of Russia and China .It's I only hope of existence is in being a "buffer state" and becoming the head I of that necklace of smaller unadvanc j ed vassal nations bordering the pres ent day greater Asiatic empires. As such, if lt succeeds, he says, it will be I a "damp course" between the powder I magazine, of Russia. Japan and China. "Except for the UBe of things that I are brought them by the Chinese, with I out whom they would go unclad and haif starved, the Mongols remain as originally known to us In the middle'} of the thirteenth century," he adds. *~ Outers Mongol's asset with which i to begin modern statehood are small. It has one gold mine to tax and Its chief trade If through Russian Kier, elita on the northern boundary, where exports in 1911 were valued at $2.500,* OOO, Imports from Russia at $615,000 and from China $1,485.000 The only other trade" mentioned ls that of $lftll 000,000 through the Kodbo In the I We?t.'

Is thc Advice of Booker Washington to the Negroes, Atlanta, May 16.-"Have faith m toe white man, he is your friend." ., Booker T. Washington, the negro educator offered this advice to his race in the course of an address herc before the annual negro christian students' conference. He declared that notable progress in better co-' operation between the negro and the white races had been made in tho last decade. "By right living, obeping the laywa and showing due deference to every white man, you will demonstrate to tho world what education mokes out of the negroes .who obtain it," said Washington, "and in this way you will show the whlto man more vividly than in any other way the need of educa tion and gain, the cooperation even more widely than at present." The meting is being held under the direction of John Mott, associate gen eral secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. CONVICT-MADE GOODS tauscj Quite a Little Debate *n the Culled States Sea***, Washington, May 16.-After . warm debate between opponents and advo cates of the bill to prohibit tuporta tlon of foreign convict made goods, the senate today by a vote of 43 to 17, laid on the table a motion to chango the reference of the measure from the manufacturers to the finance com. mutee. Senator EStone, author ot' the state measure, wanted a similar bill from the house In reference to the manu fuctiires oommittee. He charged that opposition arose from alleged fear ot Southern Senators that the Aemerican manufacturers of cotton bagging no longer would no longer be compellee to meet the "dishonest competition" of foreign convict labor. Senator Wllilms who wanted the bil? sent to the finance committee, char acterised the measure as a^'new me thod for the cotton bagging trust to devil the life out ot the cotton.bag ging importers." . * ?
