WE THANK MIR. BARNETT.

The editor Of The Intelligencer de-
sires to thank our Six and Twenty
correspondent for the kind way in
which he welcomes us to our new
field as editor. We trust that he,
along with all our readers, will in
deed give us the right hand OF fellow
ship. and help us boost for Anderson
county, and the Piedmont section of
South Carolina. Such kind words go
long ways toward tightening the
work OF being editor of newspaper.
At best this Is trying position to
flll. and one where the knocks are
usually more than the boosts.
The difference between an editor
and private citizen is that the edi-
tor has always to express his opinions
whether or not they will be popular.
while the private citizen can keep
his mouth shut If he finds there will
be opposition to what he is going to
soy. Consequently, while the editor
may have many persons agreeing
with him in views expressed, and who
would express themselves the same
way were they to edit a paper, yet
they remain silent and he must receive
the knocks. Then there are another
classes of citizens, not numerous. but
ysf plsntisus. sshe wish 20 use. an eii-
tor to pull their chestnuts out of the
tire and save their fingers. Then there
ls TINT other kind who does agree
with an editor. but who are perfectly
willing that he shall have the right
to an opinion and do not get Offend
81 because their views are not the
views OF the paper, and who desire to
help in the fight for better things. To
this latter class Mr.. Barnett belongs.
and he deserves nothing but commen-
dation for the manly way he has of
saying what he has to say without
bitterness. Yes. we may differ politi-
caliy, but what's the use? Two years
from now there will not be any diff
Ierences OF opinion. and besides we
arc not running political organ, and
the VlewB or the editor are of no more
consequence than the views OF any
other private citizen.
We thank the correspondent for his
kind words. and we wish to aak that
ali others who have a good word for
the county and for the work The In
teiiigencer Is trying to do. to como on
with It. Let us make Anderson county
second to none In the State, and The
intelltgencer the best paper In the
State. We can II you will do your part

WHO IS TO BLAME

WHO IS TO BLAME
1t is natural that those who are
affected by the financial strlngency
existing at this time should endeavor
to find place where the blame for II
can be placed. 1t is also natural and
to be expected that in placing. this
blame many inffocent factors will
come In for share OF the censure. It
may be that one feels the blame ex-
lists where It most hurts the business
OF the man or concern affected. For
instance 1t may he that the banker
will feel that the correspondent bank
which inBists on It's paper being paid.
is largely to blame for not being able
70 extend the full line Of credit to
customers who expect it. On the. other
hand the farmer who has cotton to
sell may feel there would be no neces-
sity for the financial stringency were
It not that the banks insist on pay
ment ofpaper due.
The feeling is general that almost
everyone is more or less responsible
for the cry OF hard times heard all
around. The truth Of the matter is
that no one In the South is TO blame

He censors all the time-mornins'

War was becoming so well known
hat there was grave danger OF its
getting to be unpopular. When we
have discovered all there Is to know
about a thing we generally lose inter
eat in it. The censor was therefore
called in to fan the mystery. ne
loves to keep everybody guessing.
Every censor has probably once
hean an editor. The main business
~ editors is to cut out everything In

To be a frst-class censor one muss
ha able to keep a secret. There are
no woman censors.
