Premium Wheat.

Nix. EDITOR: Ihave been asked often
to suggest some rule to govern oil
those that are cOntending for the pre-
minms offered by the E-ko-neet-lee
Mills, for the best acres of wheat. To
keep our neighbors from suspecting
one another or unfairness, will ad-
wise that they get, soy two of their
harvest, to come and measure one acre,
seventy yards square. Cut and shock
the wheat with twelve bundles in n
shock, and make q note of the number
of shocks on the acre. Then when the
thresher comes haul this wheat and
thresh seperate, and see that the meas
nring man measures it correctly. Then
make little statement of it with the
signatures of the parties who measured
and mail it 20 me by August Goth, at
which time l wish to make good the
offer.
This premium that 7 cssac sc- .hAS
greatest yield Of wheat on one aero, is
for my customers and those who are
going to be when this crop is threshed.
will say, further, that it makes no
ums, but insist that everyone that
trys for it, will act in such q fair and
open manner that no one will entertain
thought of unfairness. 1t is not for
the money that we try to get the prize,
but it is the honor, and the name Of
being good farmer. You point your
finger AZ man and say, there is an
honest man and good farmer. He is
just what everybody could be. If
body, everybody would be MS good as
he. Tell man that you don't believe
that he would stoop to do O dirty trick.
and there is not one in twenty that will
hetray your confidence, and cice rerce.

they have good time.
We are all getting along nicely and
enjoying life the very best. TYRO.

The retirement of MIR. 4. Is. vii
liams from the editorial staff Of the
Grccnvillc 4NewS is a source of sincere
regret tn his many friends in South
Carolina ncwspaperdom. by his bold
and independent, if i'll advised, policy,
he has become one of the best known
but least influential editors of the
State, and built up large clicntage of
admiring but unsympathetic readers
upon n basis of fine-spun sophistry.
MIR. Williams is enc Of those coiservn-
tive thinkers whose constitution origi-
nally forbade the indulgence of ex-
tremes, and 30 faithfully has t.o siriven
against certain gross extremes that ne
has unwittingly lost his bearings and
laid himself open to much criticism by
going to tho very antipOdal extreme.
The spirit of the press will certainly
suffer after the exit of the brilliant
Williams, who was always good
natured, clever fellow, and the frater-
nifty of all factions will unite in ex-
tending to him best wishes for his
future welfare. Prof. w. Ii. Wallace,
of Newberry, will succeed Mr. Will
liams as editor of the Nems. Prof.
Wallace is an experienced Journalist,
having been connected with the New

Mothers Little Boy.

A smart little lad down at Galesburg,
who had been taken to Kansas City,
where he saw and greatly admired the
bright uniforms and prompt delivery of
mil by the postmen, was seized with
tho idea that Galesbnrg should have
free mail delivery and he would be the
pOstman.
So he secretly secured n large bundle
of old love letters which had been re-
ceived from numerous young fellows
by his mother in her girlhood days,
and he trotted out briskly, leaving n
letter at every house in town. Gales
burg is enjoying the sweetest bit of
gossip that it has in many long year.
And the boy, oh, where is hc7 His
mother is short one pair of slippers and
one shinggle, ana :.:e sSoyy chief nmbi-
ton now is to find n soft place on
which to sit.--Barlin0ton (Knn.) IN

It the enthusiastic reception which
Richard Carroll was rendered Mt the
hands of the white people of Anderson
at the City Hall last Sunday evening is
not proof sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that the white man has
Il deep feeling of interest i'll and con-
Germ for the advancement of the negro,
certainly the added evidence of the
liberal and spontaneous offering for
this purpose must remove any further
doubts. 1t is safe to say that Anderson
County and city have the most thrifty
and peaceablc population of negroes of
any section Of the State, and it is a
notable fact that the ratio Of crime
among them has decreased in very
marked degree within the last ten
years. This condition is due to the
friendly interest manifested in tho
negro's welfare by the white man-his
overseer, his landlord, his neighbor.
There are never any racc conflicts, for
there is uOthing at variance between
the two. The negro cares nothing for
politics; he recognizes his social status
and respects his white friend as his
mental superior. On the other hand,
each is the necessary complement of
the other. Negro labor is by far the
most satisfactory Of any labor yet
tried, and while it is far from being
entirely satisfactory, there are many
hindrances that arc being gradually
overcome in the negro's development
under proper management. The negro
in this County is fast learning the les
son or economy and frugality, and be-
comes in that ratio q much more valua-
BILE and valued citizen. This tribute
to Anderson's colored people is but a
just one, and 10 assure them that their
white brethren wish them continued
advancement and progress. Along
this line and suggested bv the very ex-
cellent lecture Of that earnest and
philanthropic negro, it might be peril
neht to suggest that such an institution
rs Carroll's in Columbia for the train
ing of the young negro children might
bo established here in Anderson.
There arc colored people here amply
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1900-05-09

competent to take charge of such a
venture and make 1t means of npift-
ing the race. Such institutions in ac-
cessible points all over the South will
go far toward ameliorating the de-
gradation at our very doors, for which
the Christian world holds us rcsponsi-
BILE. We hope, at no distant day, to
see an institution of this kind at every
County seat in the South. The negro
will help himself if we will only show
him how.

Again has that autlacious and ire
prcssiDle exclusive franchiser Ques-
ti"n elbOwed itself into serious but
undescrved consideration mt the hands
Of the City Council mt its last regular
meeting held Tuesday night of last
week. Not long since Il certain cor
porati0n sought ut their hands an ex-
elusive franchise for the term of Forty
years. which petition the Council has
had the good sense to ignore. Now,
the Anderson Telephone Company,
who already enjoy IL vcry liberal fran
chisc, beg of the Council to grant them
Il monopoly OH the telephone business
of this city for the term of ten years.
They ask that all competing lines be
kept out or allowed no further extern
sion. In return for this exclusive
favoritism, it is not stipulated what
benefits and privileges the city and it's
citizens shall receive in return. The
presumption is that competition having
been eliminated, ;ha service and rates
arc quito within the arbitrary discrc-
tion of the Company enjoying exclu-
sive favors, and those with whom this
modern convenience has become a
commercial necessity arc actually ut
the mercy of concern from whose
edict there is no appeal. It does not
concern the merits of the case, nor
should it affect the judgment, that the
officers of the Telephone Company are
all high toned gentlemen and tactful
business men. No one believes that
they would become party to such un-
business methods as would demand an
advance on telephone rates here in the
city; but fortified behind an irOn-clad
exclusive franchise for the term of ten
years, there are none so sanguine as to
hope for even very small reduction
in rates within that period. True, ten
years is not II long franchise period,
yet with the rapid development of the
city, coupled with tho improvements
and expiring patents and consequent
cheapening of telephones, we may find
ourselves ut the end of that tine very
much behind the march of progress
with high telephone rates and an anti
quated service. How, then, shall we be
compensated for surrendering every
right and privilege to one company to
the exclusion Of all othcrsY The Coun-
Gil can not do otherwise than reject the
proposition, as it's business Judgment
will direct.

The Overwhclng vote by which the
Nicaragua Canal bill passed the House
last Wednesday was distinct surprise
to the most hopeful supporters Of the
measure in and out of Congress. 1t
registered most accurately the will of
the people taken as a whole in that the
House is more representative Of the
people While TIE INrELLrGENcEE
wishes that the United States would
reserve the right to fortfy her property
and ncutraliZc it without the intcrvcn-
ton OF foreign nations, it believes that
this governments interests in the mat
ter of Notifications will ultimately be
fully safe guarded. 1t would seem the
part Of wisdom, however, to settle this
point at once and lay ut rest forever
the struggle which must inevitably
cnslIc upon the announcement of such
intentions. The United States is, how
ever, Il peaceful nation, and lift adhcrcs
to the tcncts Of its founders and de-
tenders, it will not need to tlo other
than protect the Canal as Il great com
'''Ni~i't "otNi way. IL VIC tlDuIltlOn our
dream of empire and stay at home be-
meath our own roof and the protecting
shade Of the Monroe doctrine, there
will be no clash nor issue demanding
the fOrtilicatiOn of the Canal except for
the effect OF ts moral influence and for
the sake of stragctical cxpcdiency.
The Canal, if built, will be worth many
millions to the Southern States com
mcrcially, though it might prove disas-
tlous to us i'll time of war unless the
Senate provides for Notifications. The
Senate, however, is not in favor of for
tifying the Canal nor is tho President,
SO that 1T is expected that the bill Will
be pushed through without material
alteration ut this session of Congress
