but 7ery much gratiied by the result.
Our people have done well, and to those
gentlemen who had in charge the cam
wasting for subscriptions too much credit
cannot be given. The subscriptions
raised to these bonds here shows what
can be done when we put our shoulders

only in this way can we keep pace with
the times and build up our city to the
position abe should occupy. But let us
not think the work is done. There yet

LET us all work forit and talk Tor 1t until

have made g good beginning, and now
let MS keep on until there is no doubt OF
success. There isno town or city in South
Carolina that can equal Anderson, in
proportion 10 her size and population, in
her business relations, and u future
growth and development rests on the
shoulders Of orr people. Backed by the
banner County Of the State, this city can
be made q second Atlanta, but IL will re-
quire work and money. II We not help
in these matters ourselves, We need not
expect outside capitalists to come to u
assistance. Again we urge all our people

keep our city and County in the front

1t has always been understood clearly
enough by those Interested in the Turkish
question that the Sultan had some excel
lent reasons for his Invariable course of
shilly-Shaly and almost 'contemptuously
expressed indifference for the protests of
the various nations against his treatment
of Armenia. This ruler is not quite a
fool, and he would not have dared stave
of the Indignation of part of Chrsten-
dom in such exasperating fashion had he
not known that he was supported some
where. 1t has not been difficult to dis
cover the Russian looming up behind the
Turk, but not before today has the shad-
owy form been so clearly outlined IN the
background, which is rapidly shifting into
a foreground
For several days England has shown a
disposition to force matters in the Darda-
neles Bombardment has even been
limited at, and great outbreak would
have surprised no one. What is the Sui
tan's reply to this threat? Simply an in
spection of the forts of the Dardanelles
by Russian general. A little thing, ap-
parently, yet considered by more than half
Europe as not only the Sultan's response,
but also the response of Russia, which
has taken the Sultan under its protection,
to England's menace. The opinion seems
to prevail that the Sultan has grown de-
faint, owing to the fact that he is sure he
is under the protection of the Car and
that the latter will not allow him to be
coerced.
He who cannot see complications of the
gravest nature in the situation at Con-
