The Anderson business men set good
examples. Not long ago they were dis
satisfied with the way the fertilizer
trust had treated them and they organ.
lied a S6,OOO,OO0 fertilizer company OF
their own, now they have rates to suit
them. They also objected to the raise
of Insurance rates by the Southeastern
Tariff Association and they have Or
ganized themselves into a mutual as
sociation for carrying their own insu-
rance. Independent people are the
only ones that get along in the world.
People who will not do for themselves
must expect to be ''done" by others as
long as they live.-Florence Times.
There is no doubt the Anderson bust
ness men have an independent spirit
and have gone about their fight against
the trust in the right manner, but We
fail to see where the benefit to the peo-
pie who are not in the trust comes in
even if the Anderson people should kill
the fertilizer trust. 1t is an old say
ing that the best way to fight the devil
is with fire, and it may be true, but
the fire with which the devil is fought
will be just as hot as the devils own
fire. If the fertilizer trust is bad
thing, then the Anderson trust is bad
thing. BUTT seems to US that the trusts
a bad thing only for the people who are
not in the trust, and we have observed
that as soon as man gets into trust,
no matter how hard he may have fought
trusts; then the evils of trusts for him
have passed away, and they are good
thing. It altogether depends on the
point of ofYiew.
It seems that the only thing for
which we who are out of the thing can
hope for, is that the victorious concern
will come out of the battle so badly
wounded that it will be disabled for
life.

TIRE PRESIDENT AND CHARLESTON.

Since the President has definitely de-
cided on his visit to South Carolina the
people of Charleston and the Exposl-
tion authorities have gone TO work 10
make mis- stay in South Carolina
pleasant and Interesting one. In this
we believe they will have the co-opera-
tion of all the people Of South Carolina,
who will feel honored in treating Pres
ident Roosevelt with the greatest cour-
tesy while here, both because it is due
him as President of the United States
and because it will come, as a matter
of course, from people who have al
ways been poted for their courtesy
and hospitality to the guests OF their
State and their homes. The time for
his visit is most opportune. The Till
man-McLaurin difficulty in the Senate
and the various interviews given the
daily press by Senator Tlllman, al
though some of these have been
proven unture, have placed this
State in rather bad light before the
other parts of the country, and nothing
could more fully set at rest the various
rumors and low insinuations from varl'
ous sections than an official and a
friendly visit of the President to the
Exposition, and warm welcome ex-
tended him upon his arrival, and his
stay among US made pleasant
When President Roosevelt has seen
the great Exposition and learned from
personal observation and experience
something of the people and the State
which made it possible, we believe thai
he will return 10 his duties as chief ex
ecutive of the nation with pleasant
memories and new and fuller concep
sion of South Carolina and her people

NEWBERRY COLLEGE DAY.

In another column is published the
program and details of the trip of New
berry College to the Charleston Expo
sition on the first day of April. All the
schools of the county and the people
generally are invited and requested to
make the trap with the students, so
that Newberry County will have as Dig
representation as possible in Charles
ton on Newberry College Day. Our
people should take an interest in the
success of this trip, for nothing will
help the college more than q good
showing in Charleston. If any OF the
schools or school children OF the county
intend to visit the Exposition at some
time, we do not think they could select
a better time or better occasion.
Probably the largest crowds from all
sections of the country will be there at
that time, and the Exposition will be
in full blast.
The students ought to be accompa-
MED by a large crowd.

A Day Dream.

Written after an absence of thirty
years.
sit on the step of my cottage door,
And dream of the home that I loved OF
yore,
And the waving boughs of the willow
In the garden at home seem beckon-
ing to me.
The old house stands by the river side,
That I left long ago as a happy bride;
The wood vine turns o'er the quaint
little door,
In fancy I cross the threshold once
more.
NY mother sits in her accustomed place
And smile illumines her sweet old face
My fathers voice is soft and mild;
AS he prays for me, his wondering
child.
A sweet young sister go frail and fair,
With eyes of blue and auburn hair.
A patter of feet is heard in the hail.,
And our baby one enters, the best loved
of all.
But the vision has faded, I see them no
more,
slowly arise from my cottage door;
And whisper and sigh, oh why did I
roam,
Away from my loved ones, so far, far
from home. A.

Mr.. Earle is the present mayor and Mr..

Mr.. Cathcart. They are both good men.
