ANDERSON'S PRIDE

Not since Its aee!nning has the pub.
lie school system of Anderson had
such an auspicicns beginning as that
OF yesterday. The city schools of An
derson are second to none in efficiency
and the organization Of the teaching
corps.
Supt E. C. McCants is a man OF
deepest sympathy combined with a
broad view of life and lively interest
In the welfare of the individual as well
as of the whole community. He has
disposed of his forces we'll and great
results will be achieved this year
The enrolment yesterday taxed the
capacity of the buildings and some of
the grades may have to report in sec

THE LAND BANK PLAN
Is Recommended to the Farmers Of
Anderson for This Emergency.
Editor The Intelligencer

Editor The Intclligencer.
Advice Is about the most abundant
article now being given away, espec-
tally to the poor farmers on the cot
ton situation, and the buy bale"
movement to help him. which would
be great stunt if everybody had the
cash to buy a bale and had the pat
riotism to do it. The theory is fine
but
1t seems it is about time TO do some
land banking under the principles that
have worked out SO marvelouSly sue
cessfully i'll other countries under
desperate necessity, and right here in
Anderson county are as good farmers
and as good lands as anywhere to
begin with So if the theory is good
why not let fifty or one hundred of
our farmers get together and pledge
a land band and issue drafts of ac-
ceptance with some strong financial
institution for 10 per cent to 20 per
cent OF their pledged lands, and hold
their cotton to liquidate the drafts
when they come due.
In this manner they can secure all
the capital they require and for as
long time as needed at per cent with
perhaps IL per cent additional to the
accepting bank as premium for the
assurance of their credit, and finan-
cial reputation.
Money can be secured in this way
at lower rate than for any other
class Of collateral security and there
Is no better or safer foundation for
the loan than good farm lands. back
ed with quick assets Of cotton to cover
the amounts
j, After the loans were put through
the farmers could distribute the cash
to each on basis of so much per bale
and could require the cotton stored
in trust for payment of the society
loans to him. The farmers with funds
in hands will be- able to take care of
themselves, and the way to get the
money is to OFFER good land security
to the right kind Of people in the right,
way who can lend the cash, and they
have all that is necessary if they will
cooperate together in a land bank,
which they need to do for the future
as well as for immediate relief.
The question Is: Are you farmers
ready to do something for your self
protection for the burden is on you?

The girl walked on up the highway
with a Hitting stride, now and then
laughing to herself, or running a few
steps, occasionally stopping by some
hedge to pull a leaf which she rubbed
against her cheek, smelling its keen
new scent, or stopping to gaze out
across the orange-green belts of sun
my wind-dimpled fields, one hand push
ing back her mutinous hair from her
Grow, the other shielding her eyes.
Farther on the highroad loeped around
a strip Of young forest, and she struck
Into this for a short cut. In the depth
she sat down to rest on the sun
spIashed roots of a tree. Leaning back
against the scanned trunk, her felt hat
FALLEN to the ground, she looked like
some sea-woman emerging from an
.earth-hued pool to comb her hair
against a dappled rock.
She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as a bulldog frisked
over a messy boulder just in front of
ther.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself on her knees with both arms
toutstretched. "Oh, you splendid crea-
tUre!" she cried, you big, lovely
white darling!"
The dog seemed In no way averse to
this sensational proceeding. He re-
tsponded instantly not merely with tail
~twagging, but with ecstatic grunts and
larowls. Where did you come FROM"
she questioned, as his pink tongue
struggled desperately to find a cheek
Through the whorl of coppery hair.
Why, you must be the one | was told
not to be afraid Of"
She petted and fondled the smooth
Intelligent muzzle. AS il any one
could be afraid of you! Well set your
master right on that point" Smiling
TO herself, she pulled one of the roses
from her belt, and twisting a wisp of
Song grass, wound it round and round
the dogs neck and thrust the ragged
Erose-stem firmly through it. Now"
she said, and pushed him gently from
her, go back, sir!"
He whined and licked her hand, but
when she repeated the command, he
turned obediently and left her. A lit
Gle way from her he halted, with a
sudden perception of mysterious pun
ITshment, shrugged, sat down. and tried
ito reach the irksome grass-wisp with
his teeth. This failing, he rolled Ia
seriously in the dirt.
Then he rose, cast a ~reproachful
glance behind him, and trotted OF.
