FOUR YOUNG MEN"

Sneering remarks have been made
about the -four young men" who voted
for the franchise granted the South
ern Public Utilities Company when
the matter was up for discussion sew
eral months ago. The four young men
when so voting were clothed with the
power of representatives, the author
ity to vote thus being given them by
majority or their fellow citizens.
Seeing with prophetic eye vision of
the future, they wished to perform a
sacred and solemn duty, feeling that
terests of the city who elevated them
to the responsible position they oc-
cupied ON that occasion. They had
seen Anderson when she was in dark
ness and they wished to give her light.
They had seen Anderson when her
dwellings and business houses were
consumed by fiery flames. and they
wished to prevent, in so far as pos
sible, recurrence Of these catastro-
phes. They had seen Anderson when
business men did not wish to come
here to do business because of lack
of facilities which they votes were
to bring to the city. They wished to
secure for the city these added accom-
odations, 80 that she might go out
after other needed improvements.
Pity It is that these same four young
men. or four others with an equal
clearness of vision Of the future and
the things that are to be, could not
occupy seats and cast votes for the
people of the city as did these sneer-
ed at -four young men," A vast diff
ference there is in constructive and
destructive legislation, and "these
four young men" were constructive In
their votes.

SOME QUESTIONS

The desire OF The Intclligencer is
not to embarrass anyone. but on all
sides we hear people wondering why
il is that the illegality. or invalidity
of the franchise granted to the South
crn Public Utilities Company was not
earlier discovered The people who
have thought of this thing are won
dering why some inkling Of the inval-
idity Of the franchise should not have
been had earlier, at least during the
cussion before the last City Council.
So. in order that 4 8 information may
be given the peoL we desire to ask
few pointed questions. and we offer
the columns of The lntclligencer to
chc questioned for making reply. We
assume that the present City Coun&E
G. Cullen Sullivan. Esq, can give the
information asked for. and We respect
formation. II there are others who de-
sire to be heard we shall be pleased
to give them space also.
/. If this franchise is invalid. why
did not the City Attorney so advise
the City Council prior to the passage
OF the franchise? Or did the City At
torney so advise, and when?
2. Supposing that his opinion was
not asked on this point. was lie not
employed as legal adviser of the City
Council, and was not 1t his duty to
lock into the validity of the franchise
and advise Council prior to it's action
in granting the franchise?
3. Did the City Council, or not, ap-
propriate several hundred dollars for
purpose OF additional remuneration to
the City Attorney for additional SER
vices rendered in connection with his
work on the franchise?
4. Who prepared the contract be-
tween the City and the Southern Pub
lie Utilities Company IN reference to
the white way? Why was not the mat
ter of the validity OF the contract or
franchise gone into prior to the pre-
paration of this contract, and why was
not the Council advised then that it
was invalid?
s. Suppose that the Supreme Court
finds the contract, or the franchise,
invalid, as has the City Attorney,
what plan has the City Attorney for
supplying the city with the necessary
light and power?
6. Should this matter come to a
vote, on what would the people vote?
q Suppose that the majority vote
should be against the Southern Pub
lie Utilities Company. and the "fran-
chise" should be lost. how could the
city then obtain its light and power?
8. What objection has the City At
toyney to the terms of the franchise,
sad why?

Appeal to Banks and Express Com
panies.

In strong article in The Daily
Intelligencer Mr.. G. Cullen Sullivan
of that city pleads for the organi-
zation of a citizens league to handle
conditions recently revealed through
the crusade against the blind tigers
in the city of Anderson. Among
the suggestions made we were struck
with the following:
There are other things such an
organization can DC How. For ex-
ample, the banks of the city can and
In believe they will, aid us in break
ing up the traffic L, liquors by refus-
ing to handle liquor drafts to well
known blind tigers" One of them
has already voluntarily stopped
handling SUCH drafts. The railroads
OF the city. the express c5mpany
can be of great assistance and I be-
lieve will be If the matter is proper
ly presented to them"
We believe that Mr.. Sullivan has
the right idea and one that we com
mend to the citizens CT Greenwood
II they should organize and ask the
banks not to handle drafts for per-
sons suspected OF selling whiskey we
are sure that they would readily
consent to such request. And, II
the railroad and express companies
were approached in the right way
we believe that they would also lend
their support to such movement
Business OF this kind Is profitable to
no one, but 1t Is entirely destructive
both from a business standpoint and
morally. Any thing of this kind
debases, and destroys those who en-
gage In 1t, as we'll as those who pa
tronize It.
We are very decidedly of the op-
inion that there is plenty of work to
be done In Greenwood along this
line. We should not sit quietly
down and let IT," tigers ply their
dirty business. n some of the men
who are crying hard times would or
ganize to stop this drain they would
do good deal In the way of better.

rOOR MAIL SERVICE

The Intelligencer wishes to COM
mend the move made last night at the
Directors meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce, condemning the present
morning mail service into Anderson.
The. Directors last night were all of
the opinion that gle present service
is entirely unsatisfactory and a detri-
ment to the business of the city.
As things are now, the vast bulk
of the mail for this city gets here on
the morning train, and It is not dis
trlhuted until between half past nine
and ten o'clock. This mail should be
here by $3.50 to 0 o'clock at the very
latest. No city as large as Anderson
can afford to have it's mail tied up at
way station twenty or thirty miles
away for two hours in the morning,
so inconyeniencing the public that
business people are forced to be from
TWO to three hours behind in hand
ling their correspondence. II the con-
dition were brought about by extran-
eous conditions 1t would be bad
enough, but when mail for competi-
tive cities reaches them several hours
before Anderson gets her mail. the
mail for this city, admittedly the bus
lest city ia the State, being tied up
at q way station because of conditions
not quite explainable, It Is intolerable.
II simply must be changed. The In
telligeneer therefore hopes the mat
ter will be handled promptly, even IL
II becomes necessa : to send COM
mittee to Washington.

WASHINGTON Nov. 12-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan have de-
cided not to fix a date for the Ameri-
can evacuation OF Vera Cruz until 1T
is determined which faction can dom.

to carry out guarantees asked by the
United States as a prerequisite to

General Candido Aguilar is in COM

loyal to General Carranza. who is in
open conflict with the national con-
ventien that declared General Eulalio

draw the troops until the guarantee
can be enforced and until there is no
i danger that some other faction will

The Washington government does
not desire to interfere in the contro-
versy between the various military
chieftains, but administration officials
showed plainly today thei rchagrin at
the fact that several generals who

abide. by the acts cf the convention at
Aguas Calientes. have refused to
SUPPORT General Gutierrez.

OUR DAILY POEM

Let uo dry our tears now, laddie,
Let us put aside our woes;

For I'm sure daddy knows.
Let us take him what we've broken,
BE 1t heart or hope or toy,
And the tale may bide unspoken,
For he used to be boy.
lie has been through all the sorrows
or lad at nfpe or ten;
He has seen the dawn of morrows
When the sun shone bright again !;
His own heart has been near breaking
Oh. more times than | can tell,
And has often known the aching
That boys heart knows so well.
tl am sure he well remembers
In his calendar OF days.
When the boy-heart was December's,
Though the sun and flowers were
Mays.
He has lived boys life laddie,
And he knows just how 1t goes;
Lei us go and talk to daddy.
For I'm sure Daddy knows.
Let us tell him all about II,
How the sting OF it is there,
And l have not any doubt 1t
Will be easier to bear;
For he's trodden every bay-way,
He has fathomed every Joy.
He has travelled every highway
In the wide world of a boy.
He will put aside the worries
That his day may follow through,
For the great heart of him hurries
AT the call of help from you.
He will help us mend the broken
Heart of ours, or hope, or toy,
And the tale may bide unspoken-
For he used to be a boy.
