THE CONFERENCE TO-DAY

The meeting Of the Anderson county
delegation which will be held today
TO discuss propo1ed Legislation for
Anderson county. Is wise. 1t Is well
for them and the people to get to-
igether and talk of things which will
be needed for the continued growth of
this county. and for better serving the
interests Of the banner county OF
South Carolina. the Greenwood Jour-
nal Of the contrary, notwithstanding,
But there are some things OF State
wide Importance that should also be
given attention. and we would like TO
see the Anderson county legislators
forge to the front in the halls Of the
State Legislature. and show to the
State that this county sends states
inanlike timber TO help make the le vs.
OF the State. The delegations elect is
capable OF doing this. and we trust
they will not be at all backward In
coming forward when opportunity
presents ITSELF
Locally we are very much interested
In seeing bond issue for the county
for the purpose OF making some per-
manent roads that will stand the
wear Of travel and the destructiveness
OF winter. If the legislative delega-
ton does nothing else of q local ma
ture but provide for an election to
pass upon the bond issue, there will
bc ample justification for the thanks
OF a grateful people.
or course the Anderson county dele
CATION will stand for the referendum
on the question of submitting to the
voters OF the State the matter Of
State wide prohibition. Thio county is
dry and the overwhelming sentiment
hero is for prohibition, so the delega-
tion. being representative, will stand
for the referendum.
We shall look for some really con-
structive legislation on the part of our
law-makers. and we know they will
not disappoint their fellow citizens.
The State will soon enter on a new
era. and we must he on the qul yive
for her welfare.

THIS A COTTON COUNTRY

South Carolina Is In the center OF
the great cotton PRODUCING area Of
the country, and It is folly to think
that her people will ever cease to pro-
duce cotton, because God Almighty
intended that cotton should be grown
here" was the remark made recently
by ono OF the we'll known agricultur-
al thinkers Of the State. "They can
build grain elevators in Malboroueh
county. but when ever cotton goes up
to ten cents pound, their elevators
will rot down in emptiness" contin-
ued this farmer. His opinion was that
1t is mistake just now to induce the
farmers to erect grain elevators be-
cause OF q temporary low price for
cotton. LET the farmers OF the State
mako everything they need at home,
and make cotton their surplus crop,
and then we shall have no more hard
times" was another remark by this
gentleman.
There Is at least food for thought
In tho above. and we trust our farm
ers will think Of 1t, especially this last
sentence. And, In this connection, The
1ntelligoncer would urge the local
chamber OF commerce to agitate and
engineer the adoption OF q public
market In Anderson county for the
farmers OF this section OF the State.
Thousands Of dollars worth OF farm
products could thus be disposed of,
and doubtless the entire surplus grain
crop could as we'll be handled In sh,s
way as in q grain elevator for many
years to come. 1t Is worth trying any
way.

NEED OF AN ORGANIZATION

1t occurs to The Intelligencer that
there should be some organized plan
for finding out cases of suffering in
Anderson and OF extending aid to
them. The churches do not seem to be
able to locate them. OF rather does not
do 1t in every case. and few indi-
viduals are working ont the problem
Of giving aid to those worthy suffer-
ers, who must be helped or starve. The
intelligencer has been very much
interested recently in some cases of
suffering and has found a ready re-
sponse to its appeal for help. Some Of
the stories OF suffering in Anderson
are such as to melt hearts Of stone,
and would suffice, to open purse
strings II in the human heart there
is pity. .ii.
But this work Is being done In a
very limited scale, and with an i'm
perfect knowledge Of, conditions. The
Y. NJ. c. A., the Salvation, Army, the
churches AND tho city government
through its ofiicialsi can do much to.
ward warding Off actual suffering, ana
these agencies are. willing and ready
we are sure to, do, all they can, and
some Of them are doing work of this
kind, but there seems to be no organ
lied effort. and the cases discovered
are those which are found out by ac-
cident, or by interested individuals
who are in search of them. Surely this
call to- our interest should receive a
ready and liberal response, and pro-
vision for permanent relief. Landlords
who have buildings let tj tenants
can find out much and a daily or
weekly inspection OF their houses, and
Inquiries as to tho welfare OF their
tenants would not be amiss. Employ
ers for whom some OF the families
work, could we'll afrord to Inquire for
and relieve cases Of suffering In the
homes OF those who work for them.
This would be reciprocal assistance.
/ BY all means let the organized
charities movement suggested soi e
days ago be made effective at once.
1t Is needed, and will. we arc sure, be
instrumental in doing much good
when organized.

A NEW T1ME STANDARD

..Our esteemed contemporary, The
Anderson Daily Intelligencer. is re-
sponsible for the following on the
very undesirable record that Green
wood has been making. "a new stan-
dard for reckoning time-since Green
wood had her last killing"
Now hear us friend while we talk
q little. Every single ono of the
FELLOWS who are responsible for the
Disgrace that has come to Greenwood
on account Of tho recent incidents
are drift wood one Of them at least
having come from Anderson. Now,
you see how II is. We have good,
quiet law abiding people as a rule in
Greenwood, but we have no way to
Keep the other kind from coming to
us and furnishing our fair name. The
bars are not up between Greenwood
and Anderson for instance. And they
do have Bome shooting that is shoot

some that we would gladly get rid
with US.
Once more, the standard for time
In Anderson is, When shall we get
of Of. the. side track and get on a
trunk line? When will tho c.. & w.

has It been since Anderson saw it's

with them. and would have a whole

munity. We cannot bring ourselves to
think otherwise. but they miscalculat-
ed the severity OF the ffogging they
administered end death resulted.
The Interference of the old man
was the most natural thing In the
world. What father. be he white.
black. red or brown, would not try
to save his child from so cruel a
death? Not a white man in the crowd
can blame the negro father for try
ing to protect his son.
Look at the bloody record of the
Piedmont for the last three months.
Think OF the great number of homi-
cides committed In this great up-
country recently. anG will you not
dgree that 1t Is time for 1t to stop.
Human life Is far too cheap, and the
law-abiding citizens and the officials
of the counties should spare no eff
fort necessary to put stop to 1t.
The Intelligencer is a white mans
newspaper. but not newspaper that
condones criminal lawlessless. The
safety OF all our institutions depends
upon respect for and obedience to law.
The frequency OF such unlawful &C.
currences as the Fair Play killings

LAW MUST BE UPHELD

In this issue Of The Intelligencer is
an article by Victor B. Cheshire on
the tragic ending of the whipping Of
some negroes by few self.appointed
judges and executioners,; who, while
they though they were doing good
service. did that which has brought
them notoriety. and reproach to the
people OF their community, and even
to the State at large. Why should any
few white men take 1t upon them
selves to whip negro at all. to say
nothing OF so cruelty an merciiessly
as to bring death, as wns done in
this Fair Play case? Is there not law
to correct wrcAg-doers? Is not this
law made by white men and enforced
by white officers? Need any white
man in South Carolina ever fear the
result OF the courts when a white
man and negro arc parties to suit ?
Tho records OF all tho courts show
that few cases have been tried be-
tween q white man and negro, and
the verdict went against the white

man. And we do not by this mean to
impugn the honesty Of our courts, but

THE FAIR PLAY AFFAIR.

Rumors continue to come from
Fair Play as to undercurrents Of a
continuance Of mob violence, or
threatened mob violence, but 80 far
as The Courier has been able to as
certain. these reports seem to be ex-
aggerated, built up mainly, we sup
pose, upon the mutterings of some of
those who possess largely the mob
spirit. Il. is. TO be hoped that the
citizens Of the Fair Play section will
be willing TO- let bad enough alone,
the lawless element abstaining from
further ilawlessness and the law abid-
ing citizens lending every energy to
the prevention or further crime and
the bringing to justiee OF those who
may be guilty OF having incited and
assisted in the diabolical deeds that
have been committed in that commun-
~ within the past few weoks. Tie
good name OF Fair Play has been
stained lii such o manner that It will
take years to erase the blot With
the best that can be done "the damn
ed spot will not out" until justice has
been done and time has blotted from
| memory the vividness of the outrages
that have been committed.

Don't Like Nearness Of Italians In
Town Of Avlona. .

VENICE. via Londq:, Dec. 3O.-
l2:H q. m.)-ItaIy's expedition in
Avlona, which she occupied several
days ago. appears to have produced
considerable irritation at Vienna, ac-
cording to advtces from the Austrian
capital. It ts thought there the sud
oenness fthe Italian move may have
disturbed plans attributed to Prince
Won bueiow's mission at Rome, which
ts said to- have included an offer OF
Southern Albania to italy on her
agreeing to certain conditions.
