SENATE PROBES INTO GUSHING
OF WlLKERSON

The United States senate has be-
gun an investigation into the dis
missal of District Attorney Wilkerson.
Wilkerson, although a Taft ap-
pointee, has prosecuted big cases with
a fervor that made people respect
him. When the present inquiry into
the cost of living was started Wilker-
son stepped into it with tread that
denoted firmness.
Wilkerson brought the case of the
packers before the grand jury. He an
nounced that the grand jury would
not grant immunity to anyone. By
every action he indicated that a real
probe was finally to be made.
- But just as he started his heavy
probing Sen. Jim Ham Lewis stepped
in at Washington and asked his re-
moval Charles F. Clyne was named
his successor Clyne is a politician.
Since the day of his appointment
nothing has been done in the food in
quiry.

A GOOD WORK DONE.

The City of Anderson is to be con-
graduated upon the complete victory
won In running down and putting out
OF business the dealers In Alcoholic
liquors. There are perhaps q few who
are unwhipped OF justice and the law,
but they are very few, and the main
offenders are out OF business and out
OF the city.
This Is very desirable state of af-
fairs. but the people OF the city who
wish TO see the good work that has
been done perpetuated, must not sit
down and feel that everything has
been done and that there Is no need
for further effort. Now is the time for
most active work to be done. II there
are o''er places where liquor is sold
or dispenses stop should not be
made till they are also closed up.
Every citizen OF Andersen should
stand upon the same footing, and what
constitutes violations of the law with
one person. certainly should consti-
tute it If done by another.
Then, x a let-up is made. the tiger
viii soon begin to return, and this
same thing must be gone over again.
A suggestion has been made that a
law and order league be organized.
This should be done by all means and
at once. Those who mean to make An
derson u clean city are In the major
ity here. and they can put stop to
any practice they feel Is not conduc-
tive to their purposes in making 1t so.
But Is Is necessary that there be or
gaDized and concerted effort Every
citizen must feel that It is his duty
to report violation OF the law com.
ing under his knowledge as much 81
as II he were an officer Only in this
way will we be able to make Ander-
son really dry" city and keep 1t so.
Let Anderson be. like the two cities
DR.. White spoke of-entirely and
truly clean.

ONLY ONE.THlRD IN COTTON

AS the law now stands the. farmers
of the State can only plant one-third
Of their total crop in cotton. The In
telligencer will not longer question
the wisdom, nor the validity of the
law. but as It is law. It must De obey
ed by all law abiding citizens It will
be good thing for the farmers OF
Anderson county to obey this law lit
orally, and for every 80 acres plant
ed lie. there be, only 10 planted in
cotton. Now is the time to get ready
to obey this law. II the farmers of the
county walt till next spTils when il
is time to plant their crops, they will
hate deardfully To plant 20 acres Of
corn and only 10 of cotton. especially

DESERTED BY FRIENDS

One could not have been other than
impressed yesterday II spectator at
the liquor trial in progress here. at
the utter fonliness of the defendant
who was present. Without counsel he
tried 20 make out his case, and there
were no witnesses to appear for him.
II he had friends they were not in evil
dence, and the hearty good fellow
ship he found when indulging in his
avocation could do him but little good
at the time he needed 1t most. His
former friends, so called, were not
present to say good word for him,
nor to sympathize with him when the
sentence OF the court was passed.
. But this should excite no surprise,
for 1t is a trait of human nature that
friends in adversely are indeed hard
to find. AS long as oil goes we'll with
a fellow. and he has money, or some
thing others want, he is sought and
finds plenty OF sympathy and friend
ship. and good companionship But let
the winds of adversely begin to blow,
and he must hunt for help and fellow
ship from others. In this case the
friend to whom the defendant could
turn. and one from whom he could
expect any sympathy or aid, was the
attorney whose duty was to prosecute.
There Is lesson the evil doer
should learn from this Incident. anu
he should endeavor to cultivate the
friendship OF those who will stand by
him in adversity as we'll as in prosper
lty There are such persons, and for
the man who does the best he can in
an honorable way, they are always
ready to hold out a helping hand But
one would hardly go to blind tiger,
or to habitual violator OF the law
for this aid and sympathy. The min
listers and the broad minded men who
wished to see for themselves what the
city was doing. are the men to turn
to for assistance and help.
VIII the remaining offenders, II
there be any. In Anderson do this, or
will they continue to violate the law?
We shall see.

PARKER AND THE MILLS

The resignation of Lewis w. Parker,
as president of the Parker merger OF
cotton mills in South Carolina, comes
very much as surprise to the people
OF the state No reasons have been az
signed for this resignation, or rath-
er had not been when the announce
ment was made. II he has made any
statement as to his reasons, we have
not seen it, We suspect that Mr.. Park
.cr has been hard hit by the turn the
markets have recently taken, and as
his successor is said to be connected
with bank, IL is probable. that finan-
cial reasons are back OF this move on
his part.
1t is known fact that the cotton
mills in this State have nearly all
been operating at a loss this fall, and
in some cases for much longer
period The Mills of Anderson as well
as chose In other places have their
troubles, and they are bravely strug-
Cling TO make ends meet, and judg-
ing from reports of some OF the large
orders received they will pull through
with flying colors. But doubtless the
cotton mills of the city, were they to
consult thei: best interests financial
ly. would close down for a period,
but they are loyal to their help. and
the men and women dependent upon
them for employment should feel
grateful that mills of Anderson are of.
ficered by humane and kindly men who
would rather suffer financial loss than
to bring suffering to their employees.

OUR DAILY POEM

Blnebfrds In Autumn.
The morning was gray and CLOUDY,
And over the fading land
Autumn was casting the withered
leaves
Abroad with lavish hand.
Sad lay the tawny pastures,
Where the grass was brown and
dry;
And the far-off hills were blurred
with mist.
Under the 5uniheT Say.
The frost already had fallen,
No bird seemed left to sing;
And l sighed to think OF the temp
ests
Between us and the spring.
But the woodbine yet was scarlet,
Where 1t found place to cling;
And the old dead weep!ng-willow
Was draped like splendid king.
Suddenly out Of the heavens,
Like sapphire sparks of light,
A flock of bluebirds swept and lit
In the woodhine garlands bright.
The tree was alive in q moment
With motion, color and song;
How gorgeous the flash Of their azure
wings
The blood-red leaves among.
Beautiful, brilliant creatures
What sudden delight they brought
Into the pallid morning.
Rebuking my dreary thought,
Only few days longer
And they would have flow, to find
The wonderful vanished summer,
Leaving darkness and cold behind.
oh. to flee from the bitter weather,
The winter's buffets and shocks
To borrow their strong, light pinjons;
And follow their shining floclss!
While they sought for the purple ber-
E. ries,
So eager and bright and clad.
I watched them dreaming OF April.
Ashamed to have been 40 sad.
And thought. aThough can not fol-
low them,
can patiently endure,
And make the best OF the snowstorms
And that is someth.ng more.
'.And when see them returning,
All heaven to earth they'll bring;
And my joy will be the deeper.
For shall have earned the spring" !"
Mrs. Cell Thaxter.

The more the Wintry tempest tears
From out the nor nor'west.
The less the genuine maiden wears
About her neck and chest.
The more I feel the need OF clothes

That keeps her ankles warm.

When passing behold her.
