WE NEED A MARKET.

The Intelligenccr has heard some
5rious complaints made with refer
ence TO the marketing OF meat In this
tity. We realize that the meat mar
.cts in Anderson are away above
ne average In the STATE. In fact, We
s:Ecw c: &c c!ty, without exception
hat has as many pice, clean markets
Is are TO be found in Anderson.
But We are told that conditions OK
st which make il difficult for wor-
hy farmer 10 market produce from
llS farm. We have long urged the
!ty to have a public market mere. We
10 not wish TO see this 10 the detri
nent Of our merchants who pay rent
nd taxes. but we would like to see
ne opportunity given our farmers to
market their meats in the city.
We do not know whether or not
he accusations are just, but some
men whom we arc disposed TO be-
ieve implicitly, have told us that It
iLhfossiUls ~ get Hltdt past the
;ity inspector. Il Is alleged that lie
too severe on some and too lenienr
On others.
We do not charge these things, but
@ bring them to public attention SC
At those who know may tell us t.,
acts If they wish to.
We see no reason why a farmer
yho has good meat for snle should
pe driven out Of town by too rigid
Inspector OF the meat.
There should be some court OF ar
zeal. The homes OF Anderson woul'
appreciate good meat. direct from IT,

After the publication os ;hs ANNUAL
message of the governor to the gen

ferring to tho deceasd members OF

not mentioned. This appeared rath.

teen months ago. Al the first trial she
was awarded 500, 900 damages This YER
dict was set aside. The second trial re-
suited in n 900 verdict. Judge Luther
