NOT A A SIGN

The decision OF the directors of an
Anderson banking institution to. de-
clare It's usual semi-annual dividend
is ON indication that this community
is not 80 badly hit. perhaps after all.
A dividend Of s per cent. and another
of 4 per cent, every six months IL not
bad for any business whether or not
1t be a bank. We trust that every in
stitution which can do so will pay o
dividend in the near future and place
as much money in circulation as pos
sible. The talk OF hard times one hears
SO much OF will soon disappear. and
will more quickly leave us IL all BUSH
ness concerns will do as this bank
has done-refuse to be affected.

WHY NOT A BOND ISSUE?

We desire to ask the people OF the
county generally TO express their
opinions on the matter 0f n bond issue
for good. roads In Anderson county.
The Intelligencer leSeves that there
has never been q more favorable time
for this proposition 10 be put through.
and never n time when the bond issue
stood o better chance of carrying. nor
Of getting value received for the
money expended. There will be nm
abundance of labor. and it can be had
at reasonable figures. There would be
much good done by having so much
money turned loose In the county at
this time.
The Inteliigencer would be pleased
to pabiish articles from over the
county on this subject. and would be
pleased TO assist in making sentiment
for tho bond Issue ut this time. 1t Is
worthy OF thought ct this particular
time, and II the condition of the roads
is an indication Of the needs along
this line, there q be no doubt that It
Ia badly needed.

PLEASE DO NOT DO 1T

Please do not do 1t. II you are con-
templating anything but a sane, sober
Christmas. please do not do, for il
Will not do yod nor anyone else any
good. Remember 1t IL the birthday OF
q Savior you are celebrating. and II
you believe In Him, you mo make
OF yourself a pitlable nonenity even
for a day and retain the good opinion
He has OF you. Then. for the sake Of
your " household. and the example
TO your children. you canrot AFFORD TO
do II. Also. what good will It do you?
The money you spend to get the
wherewithal would do much more
good II given TO the needy In your
W community. and they are there.
A nan who imbibcs rather freely at
times. aud who was guilty OF this only
recently said that 1t was lone on the
last occasion because he was worried
on account of the illness of n brother
In another state. We asked him what
good no thought drinking intoxicating
liquor In South Carolina would do his
brother in another State who was
lying i'll OF q fever. lie replied that
he knew we would not understand,
but that II was Psychology. We told
him we did not understand, sure
enough. and IL he would be so kind. to
please lend US his book on psychol-
ogy so we could learn this new sort.
We hope there are not many copies
OF his text book on th!. subject In ex-
!Htence. and that the number of stu
dents taking tho course Is very limit
ed.
But. anyway. please do not take too
much to celebrate the birth of the
Prince of Peace. II will not be Christ

That Christmas Whiskey Crate.

Did you see that Fellow cOming away
from the express Office with a crate
OF whiskey in his arms? See how he
sneaks along, and tries to get on a
back street as soon as he can. He looks
sheepish and mean. He knows that he
has no business with 1t, and that 1t
will do him u great deal Of harm. lie
can not look clean, manly. men in the
face. In all probability, his wife and
children are suffering for food and
proper clothing. and he has a bag
gard look due to the poison that he
mas been taking. into mis- system and
the sprees that he has been on from
time to time. But he must have his
Christmas liquor, and he has 1t. The
poor fool. That Is just what he Is.
and II an honest expression could be
gotten from him he would acknowl-
edge that he was a fool for tamper-
ing with liquor. Not only is there
neglect and want II his own home,
but he has spent money to buy the
rotten stuff that Ia honestly due the
people who have trusted him and
whom lie. could easily have paid.
Look again. Do you lei that man.
ly fellow who has just walked out OF
that store with bundles and pack
ages in his arms? He is loaded
down. See how bright and cheerful
he looks and how elastic are his steps.
There is good. cheer In. him. He looks
you squarely In the face. He Toe not
seek q back street or an alley. He
has no reason to be ashamed. He is
loaded down with good things to
brighten the hearts, and the home of
his wife and children. There will In
genuine good cheer in that home. He
is proud of his loved ones, and he is
too noble hearted to be willing to in
dalge in anything that can no be
shared by his wife and children. He
will not be found loaflng around with
tougbs and buns on Christmas day,
but he win enjoy that day with his
family. And the toushs who tank up
on liquor Will not hang around him.
Now which one or the two plays the
man? Which OF the two Is a citizen
to be honored and respected? There
10 no neeal for us TO. answer these
questions. They answer themselves.
To which class do you belong? The
red nosed. swollen eyed, hard faced
crowd or / the manly, clear headed,
noble looking fellows who stand for
something worth while?-Grcenwood

Of oil virtues. we are told, 10 charity,

ADVICE AND CONSENT

The Constitution of the United
States provides that certain appoint
mcnts to office under the federal gov
eminent shall DO made by the Presi-
dent, "by and with the advice and con
sent of the Senate" The Of
proceeding under this provision has
been that the President dominates the
man of his choice for the office, and
the Senate considers the matter, and
confirms" the nomination If it sees
There have been struggles over such
matters. sometimes OF extreme bit
terness. and some observers 20 even
SO far as To say that the election OF
Grover Cleveland TO the Presidency
In 1884 may bc traced directly TO the
patronage squabblc between Garfield
and Conkling. which created q rup-
ture of long standing in a portion of
the Republican party.
The Senate may. and not infrc-
quently It has seen 1T to, decline con-
firmation OF the President It nominal
lions. In that case, 1t may either take
no positive action. or IL may formally
reject the nomination. II 1t fails to
act. usually the nominee serves until
the adjournment of the session. and
then IL becomes necessary for the
President to make q recess appoint
ment." lie may, If he sees 1T. renom-
inate the same man. When the Senate
rejects a nomination. is is a question
as to whether the nominee may con-
tinuc to serve until adjournment. or
whether he may be renominated dur
ing the recess.
There are certain things TO be TAX
en- into consideration. however. in the
struggle" that NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
newspapers say Is now on between
President Wilson and the Senate. In
the first place. no direct statement
has been made by the President. and
statements which purport to express
HIS Views are usually to be taken
with salt. 1t Ia not certain. therefore,
that there Is really n contest on. In
the second place, 1t should be noted
that Senators Reed. O'Gorman. and
MARITIME are the Senator's who are
concerned In he matter, and these
three Reed, O'Gormhn, and MARITIME
have consistently opposed the
President whenever 1t has been pos
sible for them to do SO. Democratic
though they arc.
1t is to be further considered that
the senatorial holdup Is accomplish
ed by these individual Senator's. The
Constitution does not say one word
about Senatorial, courtesy" but that
is the thing that Is invoked In such
fights az he one under discussion. The
rule OF senatorial courtesy is that the
Senate will not confirm an appointee
who 10 personally Objectionable" to
the Senators In whose State the ap-
pointee is TO serve. BY personally
%objecting" on purely political
grounds to certain nominations made
by the President, the three Senators
named have invoked Senatorial u
tesy," and have induced the Senate
as q body to reject the nominations.
Thus 10 accomplished what the Con-
stitution never contemplated the
holding up of nominations for lack OF
advice and consent" net of the Sem
ate. but OF an individual Senator.
