Ranney's colleague, General Patrick
A. Collins, who represented one of
the Boston districts of that time, and
who was afterward CONSUL general at
London, and, later, mayor of Boston,
when l happened to mention Ran
neys name.
General Collins smiled in his char
acteristic, kindly and considerable
way, explaining to me that he did so
because he had been told an incl
dent which had recently happened
which illustrated Mr.. Ranney's rela-
lions to his constituents.
There was a good deal of COM
plant in Ranney's district because
he seemed to pay little attention to
the requests which came to him from
his constituents, at least little at
tention to requests for his aid in
securing patronage" said General
Collins.
They said that he would not go
to the departments in the interests
of his constituents, and they thought
that man was elected to Congress
chiefly for the purpose of looking
after the interests of his constituents.
$50 several of Ranney's constitu-
ents went to him and made COM
plants. In reply he said to them:
You know what I was in Boston.
You knew I was not the kind of
man to run errands for anybody.
When you nominated me for Con-
gress told you that you would have
to take me as / was. You did take
me as I was and as l am. You
can't expect me to change: cannot
be an errand boy for anybody
with that answer they had to be
satisfied. but l think the real rea-
son which lay behind Ranney's frank
ness is the fact that he is utterly
Indifferent to public service of this
kind, and am certain that he does
not care whether he comes back
to Washington or not"

BY MARY MARSHALL.


Charlotte Saunders Cushman, the
famous actress, was born in Boston
ninety, eight years ago today. She
was of a family of strong Puritan de-
scent and was throughout her life
thoroughly American in all her
ideals When she was very little
girl her father died and left her, the
eldest of five children, as the main
stay of her mother. They had little
money, and it was but natural that
Charlotte should have turned her
thoughts to elf-support at an early
age. She had q fine contralto voice,
and when she was but nineteen she
made her debut in opera, singing in
THE Marriage of Figaro"
1t was because of a misfortune in
the shape of. the breaking down of
her singing voice that Miss Cushman
turned her attention to acting. Her
first dramatic part and one that al

Once Year

Back to the silent places
Marked with the brand of toll
Smiles on their weary faces
They have left their mortal spoil
F1ayed by the city masters,
Bent by the long years strife,
Forgetting sad disasters,
Each with his lease of life.
Back to the silent places,
The mountains and the sea,
The open wonder spaces
The trails of liberty,
Each for his glad vacation,
Each eager for his play;
Gods short emancipation
For the man who earns his pay.
Back to the silent places,
With fishing rod or gun,
Where nature with her graces
Can furnish rest or fun
With motor-boat or paddle
Golhng sticks or traps
Walking kit or saddle,
They're off-these city chaps
Back to the silent places
They hear the open call,
And on their pallid faces
The sunlight soon will fall
And each shall find his pleasure
Though short his holiday,
And each shall gain the treasure
That drives mans care away

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There is much interest in the pro-
posed trolley line extension up the

ment for which the residents OF that
locality have been wishing for years.
Such a line should be safe. fast and
reliable. BY reliable, l mean that 1t
should run every day in the year.

A practical solution of the matter
would be the extension of the Gen.
trail avenue highway by means of
viaduct beginning at Scotland street,
going to the top of the mountain
without turning and extending to the
county .line in Livingston.
The county park system OF the Or
ange mountains took 100000 ratables
from West Orange, although the ac-
tual cost was much higher. While
West Orange lost the taxes, the city
of Newark paid the largest share of
the cost of the land.
Having spent SO much Newark
money for mountain parks the next
duty is to provide means for the
people to get there and enjoy them.
At present, without a horse or an au-
! tomobile, 1T is too tiresome a journey
| for women and children.
| A safe, fast and reliable trolley
| line would answer the problem, as
none of the present mountain roads
are adapted for the purpose. The
remedy is for the Board of Freehold

TOOK ENTIRE LOT

Representatives OF number OF
cotton dealers in this part OF tho
county, including Anderson cotton
and South Carolina. came to Ander-
son yesterday to confer with w. G..
Sears, insurance adjuster, in regard
to the cotton burned several days
ago while In transit to Anderson over
tho Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad.
All told there were % bales in tho
shipment and the cotton was ship
ped from Hester, 8. c.. by S. J. Hes
ter nnd was consigned to the cotton
warehouse In this city. Only five
bales wero badly burned but the re-

Mr.. FEATHERSTouE
At BETHEL CHURCH
Delivers One of the Beat Address
Ever Heard in Anderson Sun.
day Morning.

The address Sunday morning at
Bethel Methodist church by Hon. C..
G. Featherstone, OF Greenwood, was
one of Ton best ever heard in Ander-
son. Mr.. Featherstone has q statewide
reputation as an orator, and this repu-
tation did not suffer In his address to
the 300 persons who composed his au-
dience Sunday morning. The hour for
morning service at Bethel church was
given over to Mr.. Fcatherstone, who
was present on invitation of the pas
tor, Rev. Banner.
The speaker did not confino himself
to a particular subject, but his ad-
dress was given mostly to q discus
sion OF those things which make for
manhood. His statement that the prac-
tical truths of Christianity applied to
everyday life would solve many Of
the troubles to which we are heir,
seemed to find ready response in
his audience. His application OF the
needs OF boys and girls made q last
Ting impression on those present.
Cod" said the speaker, ''has only
made one man out Of the dust OF the
earth. All the others have been made
out OF boys" Considerable merriment
was caused over "a answer by o lit
tie boy when asked by the speaker
what God made men out of. "Sand,"
replied the little fellow. Judging from
the use made OF this article by many
socalled men, it seems that this little
boy must be mistaken" was the re-
ply.
Mr.. Featherstone had all the child
io:. In the audience, to nlemorize and
repeat after him the following three
recipes for manhood and womanhood: !:
1. Turn To the right and move
forward" which is the sign over the
entrance to Brooklyn bridge.
Q. "Be sure you are right; then
go ahead" from Davy Crockett.
3. "Cease to do evil, and learn to
do WE'LL" from the Bible.

Never Knew 1t Happened.
NO INTEREST HERE

Whether they did not have regis
tratfon certificates of Just simply did
not care anything about the general
election is mutter OF some doubt but
1t Is certain that Anderson people
took practically no interest in the cleo
ton held yesterday. The vote was very
light indeed at all boxes and it is un-
derstood that q number of country
boxes did not go out ut all and hence
at those precincts there was no bal
loting.
There was only one federal box
and only one federal ballot. This con-
tanned the names of e. d. Smith for
United States Senator and Wyatt
Aiken for Congress.
There were three State boxes and
about 101 different amendments to
be voted on. the only one of which
Interested Anderson people was that
giving the town Of Belton the right
to assess abutting property.
When the polls closed yesterday
afternoon oil the managers locked mp
their boxes and in some manner dis
appeared from view. So far as can be
learned no tabulations have yet been
made and no@fgures have been COM
piled. It was absolutely impossible
6O-
cure any returns and it will probably
be several days before the managers
can give any exact figures on the
amendments, since they were 80 num-
erous.
II ia believed that che total vote for
Anderson will hardly exceed 1900, as
that is about the figure for most gen.
eral elections. .s
While local folks did not care much
about how the election went In South
Carolina, they were interested I'm the
vote cast in other States for Congress,
Governor. etc. Numerous calls were
received over the telephone from PED
pie wanting to know who was elected
governor OF New York. who was elect-
cd to. Congress in different states and
how the Democrats upheld their end
Of the fight. Many callers came In
person to The Intelligencer Office to
get the returns as they came in over
the wires OF the Associated Press.
