MORE NEW. PEOPLE

The Intelligencer is indeed glad II
has been the fundamentally for
buringing to Anderson the publication
OF the Southern Christian Advocate
for the next four years. Ordinarily one
would think that there 10 not much in
this to cause n to feel glad. but Il
Is true that this is the official organ
Of the second largest denomination In
the State, and that the message Il will
contain wfi"go Into perhaps ten
thousand homes. every one of these
PAPERS being an advertisement of An
derson and her resources, it will be
seen What ut can mean to the city.
Then IL viii bring to tho city as a resi-
dent for four years. one, OF the ablest
and most progressive ministers In the
conference, who will, become q part of
the life OF the city and will ala In the
civic and religious life OF the COM
munity. Besides; this IT. will give en-
ployment to. several persons who
might otherwise belong to the idle
class.
The Intelligencer has cause to be-
proud also OF the distinction of win
ming this contract over some of the
mos. progressive printing establish
ments In the State. The idea we wtoh
to emphasize in this connection. ia
that every person should be even on
the alert to hunt out and bring to An
derson every legitimate businesg 3
siele. and to advertise to the rest Of
the couhtry the superiority OF her re-
sources. AS iittler as one may think of
1t, the establishment OF The IntelIi-
geucer under the new management
Ihas brought to Anderson almost n
haif-hundred citizens. and has given
employment to more than n score OF
skilled artisans. What other email
enterprise has done more for the mn
building OF the city? These reflections
are mot mentioned as self.praise, but
to illustrate the value to the commune
ity OF such enterprises. whether they
DO printing concerns or any other
kind.

It is the Christmas time: "a holy

OF the holly or .inistletoa carries us

THEY'RE GOING HOME.

Almost every train now Is crowded
with young men and women on their
way home from the colleges TO spend
the holidays with their parents, n
TO renew again the friendships and
acquaintances with their erstwhilc
comrades and friends. 1t Is an in
Stirring sight to tote the enthusiasm
and eagerness. 10 say nothing of the
fresh youthfulness of these young
people who are preparing themselves
for the battle of life, and who are
thus becoming better equipped to fight
its battles.
These young folks will meet chang
ed conditions at home. II 1t be the
first year away from home, they will
wonder how they could stay away
after the holidays are over, they will
so want to be at home with their loved
ones. II 1t be the last year they Will
wonder how anyone can stand to live
In the prosy old place where things
ar" not 30 up-to-date as at the fash
'onuDic college,. and that their "old
folks" do moi dress as swell" as they
do at the college town. or city.
Then. too. they will find that there
Is not this year the air Of prosperity
as was formerly noted on their return
from college. The mother and father
Will wear their old clothes, perhaps.
and the lines Of care will be a bit
deeper on their brows. and while
they will make an effort to show that
things are as they fused to be" Il will
be found that they have to economize
here and there to keep their boy or
their girl at school. Just how great
the sacrifice they will never know till
they have changed places with their
father or their mother. and have
children OF their own at college.
This fall has been q hard one for
parents whose ambition is to give
their children the advantages OF a col
lege course. Be It to the everlast-
Ing credit Of these parents that they
are king the sacrifices necessary
to their boys and girls at COL
les. aid II these boys and girls are
not making good use OF their time,
BIO It to their everlasting shame. Per-
haps the 10y or girl going home to
the rural district, whose father ia a
small farmer, will be most struck
with the changes necessary to keen
them in college.
To these boys and girls The Intel
ligencer wishes a most ENJOYABLE
Christmas season May their pleas
IRE at the reunion BIO u~nalloyed, and
may every ono OF them be able TO re-
turn TO school after tho holidays. But
in cnEe they find the sacrifice roo
great. and thcy cannot go back, we
urge tberl not 70 be downcast and sad
over 1t. hut to buckle down and helm
make 1t possible for them to return
The next fall and finish their course.
Let there BIO NO '"qnitters' In this race
or an education. Times like these try
the mettle Of ALI even the older bows
and girls whose college is that whose
curriculum Is embraced in the course
taught in the University of Hard
Knocks. In, this school. also, there
must be no cutters.

The old wife nestled closer to Abra-

into safer position. He smiled at her
action; then his arm closed about her
spasmodically and he swallowed a

CHAPTER III.
The Candidate.

The butchers boy brought the It'd
ings of the auction sale In at the
kitchen door of the Old Ladies' home
even while Angy and Abe were lin
gering over their posies, and the In
mates Of the home were waiting to
receive the old wife with the greater
sympathy and the deeper spirit of
welcome from the fact that two of
the twenty-nine members had known
her from girlhood. away back in the
boarding-school days.
"Yop," said the boy. with one eye
upon the stout matron, who was criti-
cally examining the meat that he had
brought. "Yop, the auctions over. an

assumed look OF resignation: these
old ladies made his life a martyrdom.
He used to tell the "fellers" that he
spent one-half his time carrying orders
back and forth from the Old Ladies'
home. But now, in spite of his meek
ness Of manner, he did not intend to
take this cut back. So with Machia-
vellian skill he FASTENED on with his
gossip.
