Commercial tourists Ndrummsrs, in COM
mon parlance-are becoming 80 plentiful in
This section OF the country that the local

nifty to wait upon customers-wheneVer
thoy are about.
The streets Of Anderson are again in dark
ness. The lamp posts stand, but are of little
benefit to the town, rs no oil is furnished
for them. The lamps and posts were paid
for by private subscription on the condition
that the Council was to furnish oil to keep
them lighted. The citizens have fulfilled
their part of the contract, and the Council
should either comply with its agreement or
refund the money to those who paid for the
lamps. It is but just that it should do one
or the other.
