SATURDAY AFTERNOON, DEC. :
SHOULD REMAIN AT ATHENS

1t seems to us that our friend and
cry esteemed contemporary, Hon, AL.
bert Sidney Johnson OF the Monroe
County Waterman, is overlooking a
bet when he advocates the removal
Of the Athens branch OF the state nor.
NAL school TO Anderson. What's the
matter with Union, the home town Of
the Waterman. 1t is nice little
country place, inhabited by the bes.
people on earth and located in on /.
of the finest blue grass regions IN
which the sun ever shown. Anderson
is also a picturesque little place on
the banks of the beautiful Gresu-
brier, likewise with blue grass sur.
roundings.
But why the Honorable Albert Sgd
ney should have overlooked Union is
OF the Independent Herald has proved
beyond any remote question of doubt
that Hinton is the place for the
school, Hon. Joe l.. Smith of tn
Raleigh Register in we'll chosen
phraseology says that his town, Beck
ley, is the correct locality and the
Advertiser man of Anderson is there
with the argument in favor of Alder
son. Tophet in Summers has not been
heard from nor is there any report
on the matter from Jumping Branch,
Spanishburg, Slab Fork, Johnson's
Cross Roads or other outlying points,
mainly perhaps because those places
are not blessed with newspapers.
But no one has arisen yet to prove
that the school should not remain at
Athens. The town has Loyalty sup
ported the institution in years past,
aside from the fact that no better
place has been mentioned in this con
nection. The school should stay
where it is by all means.

SICK TO YOUR LAST

The statement of Louis ID. Brandels
that he has a system by which tie
can operate the railroads of the coun-
try at a saving of a million dollars a
day, reminds one OF the statement
made not so very long ago by that
standpat Republican and tariff tink-
e. Nelson A. Aldrich, that he could
run the United States government
and save the country three hundred
million dollars annually, but he added
the saving clause if he were a bus
