In Woodrow Wilson's textbook, "Di-
vision and Reunion" written in 1892
when he was president of Princeton
University. he describes the war of 49,
46 to 1S48 with Mexico What the his.

authors attitude now. He tells how
Taylor took Monterey, now the scene
OF battle between Mexican factions and
OF the capture Of the City of Mexi-
co. The Mexicans he describes as q
race full of courage, spiri tand sub

GOOD FOR EVERYBODY

We would again appeal to the
people of Anderson with reference
to the Chautauqua.
The appeal is not for the Chautau-
qua. Whether or not the people of
Anderson patronize the entertain
ments here Is o! little concern to the
Chautauqua management, except for
the pride that the men take in the
success of their remarkable enter
prise.
But It Is for the people OF Ander-
son that we make this appeal. DO
not fail to see the Chautauqua enter
tainmepts. The things that are Of
fered for this week will benefit even
those who profess the highest degree
of culture, and at the same time will
entertain and instruct those who are
seeking for more and more knowledge
of this great big good old world OF
ours.

TmE CLr J MEETINGS

I'll" Int"lIigencar publishes this
morning reports from us many OF the
democratic clubs in the county as
could be reached yesterday From the
general reports the meetings OF the
clubs wcr" harmonious and in some
bnt littl" interest was takcnA No
lines wer" drawn in the city and men
Were sent to the county convention
regardless Of affiliations. IL Is said
Some time ago an appeal was made
for all counties in the state To- send
instructed delegations TO the state
convention. From a superficial read
ing Of the names Of the delegates pub
lishcd, W" would say that the com
plcXion OF the county convention here
will be very much az il was two years
ago We hope that the convention
this year will follow the sage advice
of the county chairman two years ago,
which was dsrcgarded. and have no
steam rollers, or lines OF cleavage or
anything of that kind, but select from
the body Of citizenship OF the county
as represented at the convention, the
best men TO stand for the best county
in the state.
The convention two years ago fol-
lowed the visit OF one of the candi-
dates for governor who had made Sc
rious charges against the governor
OF the state who was offering for re-
election. and the feeling at the time
was somewhat acute. AS result
there was misunderstanding on ac-
count Of rumors, which caused Sc
rious breach in the party. We trust
that the mistakes made then, by both
sides. will serve to prove that men on
opposite sides are not subjects OF sus-
picion and distrust, but to shove that
we are all citizens of splendid coun-
ty. one whose record and history Is
something of which we ought to be
pruuu, anu that i'll the approaching
convention the dominant note will be
moderation, federation and a desire to
find common ground OF patriotism
upon which all meen may meet.
Let's have no give and take, as II
we were people of different countries
but let US seek first the good of the
old county, and in doing so look for
men who will in honor and fearlessly
discharge the duties entrusted to
them. There may be serious ques-
tions to be discussed, and these should
be settled outside OF any considera-
ton of personalities.

LET US HAVE BASEBALL

Several of the leagues OF profess

annual championship hegiras under
unavoidable auspices, 80 far as pub

BAN ALLEN FOR PRESIDENT

TIL" friends of Ban Allen Of this
CITY VIII be pleased to know that he
is being put forward by friends over
the state for the position OF state
president of the Travellers Protective
Association. For several reasons this
strikes us as a most worthy sugges-
ton. In the first place is the personal
side OF the question. We know of no
member OF the order in the state.
with its 1900 members, who could
more worthily fill the place.
In the second place. Mr.. Allen is the
representative of the travelling men OF
Anderson. busy honest. high-toncd
lot of men. and Anderson has never
been complimented with this position.
We understand that Anderson. Column
bia. Greenville. SpartanbuTg and per
haps some OF the other larger posts
of the state have endorsed Mr.. Allen.
He is not seeking the honor. but we
hope that II will run him down and
fasten itself upon him. He has been
president OF Post ID of this city for
IA year, and the membership has in
creased TO 2I7 within that time.
The T. p. a. is made up OF the pro-
gressive travelling men and whole
sale men OF the state. and Ban Allen
is the peer OF the whole body of
sterling men.

g 9 SOME SMART NEW FASHIONS Q
Ooooo 5000 o o o 0 o

New York, April 24.-It Is prophe-
sled that we are to have a summer of
dancing SO the smart dressmakers are
thinking in terms OF dancing frocks.
as 1t were. This may be one of the
reasons why the walking lengths OF
skirts are being emphasized SO prom
inently in the newest models.
Another reason may be the OUTPUT
ot the beautiful hosiery. Novelties
in this line just received from Paris
are more startling than ever, and
one wonders what will come neyt OF
course the tango stocking mad TO ar
rive. Ii is in bright coiurs an6 so that
the Cubists and Futurist might not be
sighted, the tango backgrounds are
marked with the most wonderful de-
signs that even the Latin quarter has
seen. Excellent quality Is evident
some being Italian silk, with hand en-
broidered figures. In the very expen-
sive stocking there Is a small rhine
stone In the center OF each bit Of en-
broidery.
1t Is brave dressmaker indeed who
attempts to fashion frocks these days
without due regards to the REQUIRE
ments OF the dance. Taffetas and sat-
ins are now in greater demand than
ever, because they are soft and pli-
able. and much attention Is given to
back as well as front views. Wide
sahes and plated tunics are details
OF trimming that must be given con-
sideration.
Garadine is another fashionable ma
terial, and some exceedingly pretty
dresses are fashioned therefrom, Blue
and brown, dark red, bright yellow,tte
greenish yellows share favor with tie
pinks, lavendaTs and soft reds. .,E
One does not seem to mind the
bright shades that are used to such
an extent. because they are trimmed
with dark belts and collars and they
supply the subduing touch.
Tango earrings are novel and are
among the things that have been writ
ben about so often. They are CT all
sizes and shapes, but the most attrac-
tive are those of Jet set with stones
OF various colors. These stones now
match the ones worn in pins In the
hair. The long Jet ones promise to
be the most popular and are especially
becoming to the tall women. Dupli-
Gates OF the costly modes can be found
in the better shops from 81, pair
upward.
There are SO many little accessories
that count for so-much that II Is hard
to describe them accurately. Too
much, however. cannot be said about
belts. The extremely wide effects still
find favor and are to be used more
than ever during the summer. One
can picture lovely white frocks with
deep pink girdles and blue satin rib
bons or black velvet and &he sight Is
pleasing to contemplate. Smart de-
signs are made OF black moire silk,
laid In folds about the waist and fin
iehed top and bottom with plated
frills. Fancy Japanese materials are
used both for belts and for collars.
The Japanese embroideries make ex-
onisite emhrnideries for entire Co.'S
tunes and fancy separate blouses.
