Anderson Intelligencer. THE YOUNG M;EVS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Governor Manning In a recent ad dress before the Y. M. C. A. ut Green ville, set forth some of the advantages | accurlng to any community on ac count of tho presence of this organi zation. Governor Manning's idea is j that u progressive community cannot afford to do without the agency of the Young Men's Christian Association. Ho says: "From my experience In Suinter, I know the difficulty In get ting business men tvj step forward and take an active part in this work, yet It Is a duty of the elders, and the business men of jreonvlllc, to exer cise their influence in fixing this In stitution in its rightful place In this community." "What applies, of course, to tho cities of Sumter and Greenville, applies with equal force to Anderson. The question is not whether Anderson can afford to have a Y. M. C. A. build ing, but the question Is can Anderson afford not to have a Y. M. C. A. Build ing and a Y. M. C. A. organization. Governor Manning, continuing said : "As We advance In civilization. ; our problems become moro complex. More than ever beforo our young men are leaving* home to seek their livelihood and make their places In the world. They are flooding the cities. Consider what the Y. M. C. A. means, and can do for theso men. Here they find an open door to a second home. Thoy se cure In the Y. M. C., A. dormitory, safely from the temptations of other surroundings. The first few months In a strange town means the making, or the blighting, of a young man's \ career. In this connection, I do not f,eo bow wo con get along without the Y. M. C. A. "You business men know how char acter counts in business. In the de velopment of character, this associa tion means a great deal. If a business man has young employees who are members of tho Y. M. C. A., the ease ?v of. mind which ho feels in knowing that they are all right 1b worth his contribution many times over. He has confidence in auch men. "This institution Is self-sustaining in tew places, for the reason that, it ' helps freely so many who are without money. This Is an . Investment In - ' character-building. It is hard' to j finance a Y. M. C. A. because it is | ' ' not Intended us a hioney-m?klng* of-1 ganizatlon. It la not for the rich boy and- young man, but for all classes. The poorer they arc, the more neceB sary for them In Y. M. C. A. If the ' . y. M. C: A. were self-sustaining, the .v**pobr boys could not enter Its doors. The community must shoulder the financial burden because the com ~, munlty most benefits from the service of .Abe Y. M. C. A. I So much for what Governor Man ning thinks of the Y. M. C. A. We regret very much the seeming Indiff?rence among the business men j of Anderson as to the fate of the Y. M. C. A. organization in this city. a While it seems that financial troubles will stand in the way of continuing the work, wo cannot but feel It would ho a good Investment from every point *yt view for this organisation to be kept Intact, and for there to be not V only an organization but.a. building, ; ! which would do credit -in the city. ? Thl^ ia a preposition !n which the en ' tire city should be Interested, and it :' the people could be, brought to realize V ; tile Importance of the.Y. M. C. A. to 1 the moral life of a community, we do Vi ; not feel there would be any hesitancy, 1 or any. doubt., but that R could tr V^mad** a permanent Institution. \: , The Intelligencer trusts that when the time comes for a decision on.this Important mat*.er, that tho force? which are behind the moral up-llt* at \\6 community, will; predominate, and i that Anderson shall have not oUty] ? Y. M. C. A. organisation, but building which will do-credit to the city, and be' a power for. good, as Is l??waya the caro whero these building* Wets erected. HOW OTIIFHM HKK IT. It in a good Idea for those who are contemplating Hie proposed bond la sue for Andon.'.m County, to learn how Informed parsons in other Slates look at this matter. We are In re ceipt of a letter from Hon. John C. Orewery. Raleigh, N. C, In which he says "If your county will vote this bond issue of $7.r>0.000 for good roads, it will bo the very best Investment thot you can posslNy make." '.'he way those who have become accustomed to good roads look at the proposition is an indication of how the people of Anderson County would look at it after the issue had been voted. There can bo no mistake in a business way for our people to sup port this good roads bond measure, and tills statement Is made advisedly. The arguments which have been ad vanced so far In opposition to the pro posed bond issue are no doubt the sincere convictions of those advanc ing them, hut the Anderson County of today Is very different from the An derson County of fifty years ago, ami the ronds which were good enough then are not good enough now. The population of the county has in creased and the amount of traffic on the roads has also greatly Increased. The competition which every one has to meet these days requires thut every bit of economy shall he practiced pos sible either In the way of saving, or In the matter of utility. Time Is what counts, and If the farmer or biiBlnesB man can by reason of having good roads, Increase the efficiency of the means used for transportation, then it is economy to provide the ver/ best means possible. That a team can pull greater loads and faster, with less wear and tear on a vehicle, over a good road than over a poor one, is an'accepted fact by all informed persons. The Intelligencer has shown that the cost of building good roads is within reach of the people, without placing on them a burdensome tax. What we wish now to do is to show that it is a good business proposition, and one which will insure splendid returns on the investment THF. CONSTITUTION SAYS. The Yorkville Enquirer desires that we specify it what particular the pro. posed appointment of Congressman Johnson to. the newly created federal judgeshlp for the Western District of South Carolina deviates from the rule. If this oppointment is made, it will hp a deviation from the spirit of the rule, if not the letter. -The formers of the federal constitution'sought to provide against congressmen being appointed to offices which they assist ed In creating. The provision refer red to is article 1, Sec. 6, clause 2 of the constitution -of the United States, and is ns follows: :' "No senator or representative shall, during the time for which he vas elected, be appointed to any civil of fice under the authority of the Unit ed States, which shall have been created, or tho emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no person holding any office under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his continuance in office.".. Congressman .Johnson was a mem ber of the 63rd congress and the set creating the new judgeshlp was pas sed by the same congress. If presi dent had sent Mr. Johnson's name, to the Bcnatc for this judgeshlp before tho 63rd congress expired, tho ap pointment would undoubtedly have I violated both, the spirit and the let ter of tho constitutional provision. It was intimated in eomo of the dis patches from Washington that this was the reason why the appointment was not made before congress ad journed. It is said that Mr.'Johnson is not a member of the 63rd congress, and that ho is therefore eligible now to this appointment But this is n mere technicality. Mr. Johnson was a member of the 63rd congress and is now. a member of tho 64th con gress, and when tho spirit of the rule Is considered, he is nvj more eligible now than he was before congress ad journed. The president' has lately said that he would not give recess appointments to persona where their names had boen rejected .by the sen ate, as he considered, such .action would be against the spirit of the law, though he had vue legal right to do so. The president's .attitude in conforming to the spirit . of the law is wise and commendable. "The let ter of the law kllletb, but the spirit maketh alive."

"Despite my protestations that I was the American master of an American ship the cruiser Eitel Friedrich sank the William .P. Fryo, on January 28, blowing a gaping' bole through. her vitals with a ^charge of dynamite," said Captain Klebne. ( "I was almost becalmed when the German ship appeared about 2 o'clock In tho afternoon 'of January 27. My .ehip was barely moving and I paid no attention to the-first order from the Dutchman to lay-to. However, she bore on me and I brought my craft to ? standstill, After learning that I carried a cargu of wheat, the German captain told me that it was contra band and ho intended to destroy it. 1 protested, but no attention was paid to my statements. "A German officer and squad of men was sent aboard the' bark and I and my crew were set to work throwing tho grain overboard*- l&e German sighted another vessel, also becalm ed, and made for her. He returned about 10 o'clock at night, having sent the other ship to the bottom, as I af terward ascertained Cargo Thrown Overboard, ''Evidently the grain waa not being thrown overboard-list enough bo suit the German skipper, for he seht a half hundred of his men aboard soon.after-, wards and the work went on for hours without Interruption. However, it was alow at best and I was ?formed about 2 o'clock next morning xhat my ship would be pc-nt to vbebottoLv which was done In the manner descrll ed above. "It w'av originally the Intention ?( the Geraun captain to' ica o enough of the cargo in the hold of tl e ship for ballast. That part of tho gtaln was to be rendered useless by sal' water. , "As toon as 1 was inforsr ed that my ship was to be sent to the bottom, I. my wife and two boys ant tho crew made tor the German crrjser in ?hr boats. We were taken aboard and shown every courtesy throughout the remainder of the voyage. "For two weeks before, making this port the German ship molested no ehips of any kind and always avoided them not wishing to give the Eng lish cruisers shy wind ot her inten . tions. She proceeded, slowly up the ! coast, ell lights that were not out be ing carefully uhaded. [> ; ?Xnst night while nearlng the capes the wireless'apparatus on board thej German chip Informed us/that there were four English warships In our immediate, vicinity, two of which seemed very glose. However, we eluded them and made this*'port in safety." May Intern Vessel. v. Colcctor or Customs Norman H. Hamilton said tonight it was abvlous that the Prinz Eitel Friedrich would intern here. Commander Tblerichcns told Collector Hamilton ltlwas not his Intention to take coal only here and that he had no idea of leaving port within 24 hours. 'Commander Thier-, tehees further advised the i collector that the boilers of his vessel were In bad condition and that repairs under six weeks would be impossible. He said under these conditions the ves sels would be interned unless permis ' slon could be had to remain hero un ! til repairs were made. Every indica I Uon points to the' fact that the &hlp is here to be interned until the end of the war. Collector Hamilton informed Com mander Thlerlchens'if he had arrived for coal the Prinz Eitel Friedrich would bave to depart within 24 hours. The commander said positively that the vc?sel had not come for coal only and his intentions were not to depart within the 24-hour limit. . . . Two English vessels carrying horses for the armies of the allies, at'first hesitated about leaving port tonight, but when It became evident that V5e German ship would not do pait at once the two English ships steamed'out of Hampton Roads and put to sea. * ;?.:* . Begins Jufinlry. Collector Hamilton will examine carefully into thedctaiis of the sink ing of the American sailing ship Wil liam' P. Frye by the Eitel Friedrich, which occurred in th? South Atlantic off the River Platte on. January 28. The collector began the inquiry to night When he took a statement of the master of the Frye, who had come ashore. All of the members: of the crew of the Frye remained on the Eitel Friedrich tonight and will bo brought ashore and examined by the collector, tomorrow.
