Mr.. Leon NJ. Green
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Col. Leon M. Green, a Wei! known
young newspaper man, who has had
much experience on daily papers Of
the State, has come to Anderson to
take the position Of editor Of The In
tellige, n. l will not speak of Col.
Green's fitness as an editor-his work
will speak for itself However. |
want to tell our readers in as few
words as / can who Col. Green is and
why 1 secured him as editor. The
business end of the Intelligencer has
reached the point where l can no
longer attend to those duties and edit
the paper at the same time, and for
several months l have been looking
for a man who l thought would
please me and the readers of the In
telligencer.
Col. Green first attracted my at
tention several months ago when he
held the position Of Columbia repre-
sentative Of the Charleston News and
Courier. He was appointed by Gov.
Blease as a member of his military
staff. This displeased the manage
ment of the News and Courier and
Col. Green was told to either resign
from the Governors staff or resign
his position with the paper. Rather
than surrender principle, he gave up
his position with the paper. Gov
Blease promptly appointed him spe-
cial mill insector and, later state de-
tective. This position he held un-
til he accepted the editOrship of The
lntelligencer. Our reason for men,
tioning these facts is because we
want our readers to know just who
the future editor Of The Intellgencer
is and his position on State politics.

a Personal WORD.

In assuming editorial charge of
this newspaper l desire to say TO the
people of the community that all will
he given a square deal. This newSpa-
per will make an honest effort to
deal fairly with everyone, no matter
what his political belief may be. Just
as an individual is entitled TO his own
opinions, so is The Intelligencer or
any other newspaper. Those opinions
we shall present from time to time
and shall attempt to reinforce them
with suitable arguments. There will
be those who will hold different opin-
ions and We do not intend to abuse
them for holding such opinions. Our
effort will be directed toward effec-
lively presenting what we believe to
be the correct views along various
lines. In this there will be times
when we shall be mistaken. But
these will be honest mistakes
In general, the policy Of this news
paper, which is we'll known. will re-
main the same.
We shall work for a greater Ander-
son.
We trust that the people of Ander-
son county will work with us.

n New Magnetic Factory.
Ignition and Accessories.

Ignitiol and Accessories.
The Sumter Telephone Manufacture
ing Company. maker of the we'll
Known 3-M magnetos. has consider
ably enlarged its plant located at
sumter. $. G. The new addition con-
sists of a handsome brick building,
6OX26O feet, especially designed for
a machine shop. This is being equip
ped with new machinery, principally
of Brown and Sharp make. Several
special tools (Which have been made
to the Sumter Company's order at
considerable eXpense) are installed
for making certain special parts of
the 3-M magnetos in the most accurate
and perfect manner.
Instead Of taking power from the
main steam plant all the machinery
in this new building is driven by gaso-
line and oil engines, which, of course.
are equipped with 3-M magnetos.
lncSe engines are SO arranged that
various magnetos can be tried out on
them under actual operating condi-
tions, and arrangements are made for
using fuels of different gravites.
This enables the magnetOs to be put
To hard actual service tests right in
the plant where they are made. 1t
is thought that this is new depart
ure i'm magnetic building, viz. the %
cation at the magnetic factory Of
large gas engines. thereby enabling
the magnetos to be put through actual
service tests on the engines. 1t has
been the rule heretofore to try out all
types OF 3-M magnetos extensively on
engines AT the engine factories. but by
having the engines at home the sum
ter company anticipates great SAY
ing i'm time.

Some Random Thoughts.

Several friends have expressed
their appreciation of the notes on my
recent trip and requested more.
Owing to an unusual amount of work
in the Secretary's office that -
ed my attention l have not yet found
time to jOt down the many things of
interest that saw on my trip to Jack
son, Miss, and back by Way of Nash
Vile. where / attended two sessions of
the Southern Agricultural Congress.
Among the more recent events of
interest was trip to Mullins to meet
with the Marion county union. And
the interest therein, in Florence and
in Columbia that was expressed to
me about the rural school improve
ment work that Mr.. and Mrs. II. w.
Beall are doing.
And marketing crops" from the
Farmers Union sun is worth a care
full reading, not only for President
Barretts letter on the subject, but
because Of the sane comments of the
Sun on the same. and on the work we
are doing in South Carolina.
Time does not permit going into
some other phases Of the great SUBJ
jects Of marketing that are develop
ing ms the study goes on, but we hope
to bring them out in the near future
They are features that will appeal to
every business man who has the true
