GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY ANOTHER STORM
,, HAIL FELL in SEVERAL SEC.
TIONS OF COUNTY
COTTON is RUINED
Specimens Sent To This City Yes
terday Showed That Stalks
Were Ripped Into Shreds

The second disastrous storm OF the
season visited Anderson county
Thursday afternoon. resulting in
great damage. The Intelilgcncer re-
ported yesterday morning that the
storm had been particularly severe in
some sections but it was impossible to
get any definite information Thurs
day night as to the extent Of the
crop damage.
Farmers coming into the city yes
tertay reported that crops In some
sections were practically ruined and
that the cotton stalks had been shred
dcd into fibres. 1t 10 believed
that little OF the cotton in the storm
stricken district can make anything
this year.
C. d. Hawkins OF Anderson, r. F.
ID. No. 8, came to the city yesterday
and brought some Of his cotton along
1t was cut almost 10 pieces and Mr.
Hawkins says that he cannot bring
himself to hope that he will make any
sort Of crop at all. He said that the
storm practically devastated 16 acres
OF cotton for him in the Long Branch
section. He said that from what he
could ascertain as to the route taken
ny the nail STORM, II was about six
miles In length and extended about
three and one-half miles in width.
In the Flat Rock section, visited
only few days ago by very severe
hail storm, lightning struck a barn
owned by Walter Dean and burned It
to the gorund. He lost q quantity of
food stuff at the same time. It is
said that the hail storm along the
Williamson highway was particularly
severe and that crops there are ruined
Plantations belonging to DR.. ]. O.
Sanders and to l.. w. Harris were
about the worst sufferers in that Sec
tion.
It is feared that still later reports
will come in from other sections of
the county telling of great damage
done.
Henry McFall, who was in the city
yesterday, confirmed the report that
his crop was ruined, as was that of
(! S. McCarley. On his lower farm,
where he has seven plows, Swillin Nc
Fall had the best crop prospects he
had ever seen. But the hail has ruin
ed his chances.

FARMER PRAISES THE
MOUNTAIN N HIGHWAY
HAS JUST RETURNED FROM
-" TRIP OVER 1T
A BEAUTIFUL ROAD
Anderson Man Enthusiastic Over
What He Terms 2..Bess Noun. =.
tain Road Evss Saw

Among those who have recently
made trips over the transmontane
highway from Walhalla to Lake Tox-
away Is A. s. Farmer, member of the
board OF directors OF the Anderson
chamber Of commerce.. who, when in
tervtewed yesterday, stated that the
highway was in beautiful condition
and absolutely the best mountain road
he. ever saw.
He was delighted with the highway
and loud In his appreciation OF the
great amount OF work done by Wal
malta and Highland citizens, on whom
the chief burden of completing the
highway rested. He stated that there
ts yet some little work,t to do in Fubun
county, Georgia, through the end of
"htch the highway passes, but tina.
this was being pushed, after which,
the new ia-Anderson-W -Walhal-
la-Hfghlands-Lake, Toxaway highway
would equal IL not surpass any trans-
montane road In i:iIs entire section.
He stated 1t would undoubtedly be-
como great commercial and tourist
highway just so soon as the state road
maps OF Georgia, South and North
Carolina were issued from tho offices
OF the respective commissioners Of tho
three states, and also after the auto
mobiles and an commercial lssocia-
ttons formally began advertising
same. s-%s;s..; s..fAS,.

TROUBLE MAKERS,

The clash which has resulted be- tween the I. W. w. and the police in the city of New York comes as the result of a determined effort upon the part of the former to go contrary to the requirements of law and order. It is due to the fact that they have made 1t evident to the authorities that wher- ever they are to be found in assembly trouble can be expected. It is probable that excitement runs high, whenever the least friction is started, but it is only the result of the situation which the | w W. leaders have created by their avowed determination to do as they please even with threats of put ting into use such methods as are resorted to in Russia. They have evil denced the wrong attitude throughout their whole trouble. Their policy has been to win sympathy and support through just such methods as they use. There is no reason why they should not receive as many privileges and rights as anyone else if they pro- ceeded in a lawful manner and kept down their anarchistic tendencies. Con tinued and defiant breaking of the law has no right to expect any diff ferent treatment and there is no req son to believe that the promoters should be encouraged in any such idea.
 The attitude of the I. w. w. Is such as to encourage unfairness where fair ness would otherwise prevail. Such high handed methods cannot be tol- erated or encouraged. Their very mo- tives are such as to draw strong op- position from the public as well as from the police. Trouble is the slo- gan under which they operate and yet they expect humanity.

LIQUOR IN THE NAVY

When Secretary Daniels issued his order prohibiting the use of intoxicat- Ing l10uorS on vessels of the United states navy he fired a broadside into a custom which has existed from time tnmenorial. It is an order which is going to create much discussion be- tween now and the time when it goes into effect for while certain restric- tions had previously existed concern ing the use or introduction of spiritu- ous liquors on naval vessels, the sec retary has now gone the whole dis tanCe and wiped if all out. The action was prompted by the reports which have been made concerning the wine mess a. privilege which distinguished between the officers and the enlisted men and which by the testimony of those who have become the worse for it. should never be allowed It is difi- cult to understand why. if it is con- sidered inadvisable to permit such a mess for the enlisted men. it should be a wise thing for those in charge of the vessels and upon whose shoulders greater responsibility falls to have it. and in this connection the dismissa of an officer because of the habit he had formed as the result of this
 mess" tells its own story.
 If officers are going to be an example for the men under them they are not likely to be helped by alcoholic bev- erages and what cannot contribute to the discipline and morals of the ship cannot help the service Secretary Daniels has acted with the positive ness of man who demands efficiency in his business

SECRET SENATE SESSIONS.

Those senators who have come out with demand for the abolition of the secret sessions of congress, except upon such matters concerning foreign relations which it might be inadvis- able to give full publicity to. are de- serving of much support. AS they must realize themselves they are un- dertaking an uphill task and attempt ing to disturb something which has gained much in strength through ire quent usage. but 1t is the very fact that it is brought into use without proper cause and for the purpose of excluding the public from it's own bus mess and yet becomes the object of open and frank comment by the sena- tors outside. which shows the useless ness of the rule. This would indicate that it is not actual secrecy which Is desired from the executive sessions, but the opportunity which can thus be obtained of bringing influences to bear which would not be attempted in the open session.
 There is nothing about the making or confirmation of appointments which requires the shielding of the log roll ing. or which is apt to obtain any bet ter judgment in behalf of the matter under consideration. Like many other time honored practices 1t may have been begun with the proper idea and respect but as is so often the case, it is the overuse and abuse which call for "a. change. Even though the res olution may fail because of the oppo- sition which it will create, it must be recognized as calling for a reform which is aimed at wholesome results. Nothing creates distrust like secrecy, especially when it is not needed.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Vainty.

Degrees of vanity may range from that which is simply an amiable weak ness, thing to be smiled at and con- hateful and stultifying. To be in- sufferably vain is one of the most baneful affiictions of some men and women. It blinds them to their own defects and to the claims of others it bars their progress by persuading them that effort is unnecessary. They dwell in a charmed circle of their own imagined superiority; they aim at being teachers when they ought to be learning and their satisfaction with their small attainment blocks the way to their attempt at something higher. The very quality that blinds them to their own deficiencies opens the path of much suffering.
 It is our vanity that exposes us to many wounds and stings which might otherwise pass unfeit. Though it is true that vanity is sometimes very conceit, yet we find quite as often that the quality is very sensitive and per ious to pin bricks. Those who are most thin skinned are usually so, by reason of their vanity and self-consciousness There may be self consciousness that is intensely humble, but this is rarer than the~other sort
 We must remember of all vanity, however mild and apparently harmless, that its tendency is toward selfishness, and that the small plant may become a vigorous tree. Therefore even the vanity of a child, though dealt with very tenderly and lovingly, is not actually to be fostered, because we have to look to it's future.

SCHOOL FOR DIPLOMATS,

It isn't necessary to have served in the diplomatic corps of this country to understand it's weaknesses and han diCaps and when ex-Governor Curtis Guild of Massachusetts declares it to be the worst in the world there is lit tie chance for disputing him. His is an observation, however, which con- tains added value through experience in such a position, and through a Knowledge of the qualifications and requirements which are demanded by other countries of their diplomats.
 Thus when ex-Governor Guild ad- vances the idea that there should be schools for the training of young men for the diplomatic service it can be understood that he lays great stress upon the laying of the proper founda- ton and the securing of the training which would fit them for the duties re- quired the same as in any other im- rortant undertaking. By such a meth od would the diplomatic service be elevated in time to the level of other countries. It would put an end to the payment of political debts through the passing of diplomatic post along to some rich election helper whose ambition to secure the appointment lies in the hcnor which goes with it rather than h the service which should be

Good Cheer Aids
 Digestion of Food
Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of the Family Happy by
 Using a Laxative-tonic.

The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table depend so much on the good digestion of each in dividual present that the experiences of some former dyspeptics who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give-but it is advice that is seldom heeded-is to eat slowly and masticate each mouth ful carefully. However if slow eat ing and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature, Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent dfgestant,. and in ad- i dition to helping in the digestion of the food acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumula- ton or waste that should long ago have been passed off It is safe reliable pleasant tasting, and results are guar uteed.
 Maj. ;. Martin, of Joplin, Mo, now 77. thinks Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has helped him to a longer and happier
 life. He has not felt so good in years as he has since taking this excellent
 medicine, and in spite of his 77 years he says he feels like d boy

SIDEWALKS. s.

Most every city handles it's side
 walk problems in a different manner but it is certainly a direct and bus inesslike method which is used by the city of New Haven in keeping it's side walks in satisfactory shape. It indi- cates a realiza ton of the value which good walks are to city when proper activity is maintained in that direc- tion. This week 2200 property own CTS have been notified that their side walks have been condemned and that they must build new ones of cement or concrete. The notification is not an invitation to comply with a re- quest of the director of public works but must" appears in the order as the result of aldermanic action and failure to give the necessary attention results in the work being done by the city and a lien placed against the property.
 The anatter of sidewalks is one which is constantly before a city be- cause of the need of keeping them up to the requirements of safety and com fort. The difficulty of it is what every city knows through experience that sidewalk repairs are about the last thing given consideration and that they are not apt to get much attention while a senblance of a sidewalk exists. unless it is the disposition of the off cials to keep sharp lookout in that respect Sidewalks can be of great value or a great detriment to a city by the very manner in which they are maintained. Delapidated and danger ous walks are Q constant drawback to every place and an encumbrance upon property and no city can afford to over look the impressions which good side walks make.
