a silent gun which may be pneumatic

charge, the projectile travels through
the air without any of the warning
made By an ordinary shell, and the
first notice of its arrival is the deto-

ANDERsON'S SCHOOLS

Every Andersonian should feel
proud OF the records made by the
schools of the city Ger the past sas-
zion. If the saying that one can Judge
a community by It's churches and its
schools is true. Anderson snould have
"a very commendable pride in the
Judgment that will go forth wherever
the standing of her schools and her
churches Is known.
A total enrolment OF her schools
of 3,5sS during the past session is
climbing at very gratifying pace.
Surely there Is not much need of COM
pulsory education in this city. But
lest we he misunderstood, we wish
to s'ate that II there is one boy or
girl who has the capacity for learn
ing, needlessly kept away from
school. the State should step In and
see that such boy or girl is given an
opportunity to prepare for an equal
battle in life.
With such schools as the city has,
there is strong probability that the
future Calhouns will continue to come
from Anderson. We take off our hats
to Superintendent McCants, his able
faculty and the board of trustees for
the splendid achievement.

POLITICAL POT WILL BOIL.

The political pot in Anderson coun-
ty will soon be bubbling over, and the
present indications are that there will
be some lively doings a little later.
Candidates will begin to come thick
and fast from now on. the issues de-
fined and the lines closely drawn.
The expressed intention of all the
candidates Is TO conduct a clean and
high toned campaign free from any
mud slinging. This is greatly ebe
desired and 1t is hoped will be strictly
adhered to during the entire cam
paign. There are certain issues to
be discussed, and the people informed
ON such matters as they are NOT post
ed upon. So there win be plenty OF
topics for discussion other than per-
sonal abuse or mud-slinging, and the
Intelligencer hopes the candidate, or
the candidates. who begins to lower
the high plane win receive such les
son from the audience that no furth-
er attempt will be made.

this kind brought before that tribu-
nal. Since that time he has repeat
edly made effort to gain re-admission
