UP TO TIE COMMISSION.

In this issue we have an article
from, the pen Of Leon l.. Rice, ESQ.,.
who advances an argument which
seems plausible, and which will en-
able the street paving commissioners,
II adopted by them, to stretch the paw
ing over several iother streets. His
argument, In brief. Is that the city
ard not the property owners along
the streets in which the car lines run.
benefit by the amount OF paving to be
done by the street car lines. 1t is
provided that the owners OF the city
railway system pave their tracks and
q certain DISTANCE on either side. Mr..
Ricc's contention. is that this paving
done by the railway system should 60
to the city. to be used for additional
paving, ard that the property holders
along these streets. pay, as the law
says they shall, fer half the cost of
the paving on Dtheir streets. On the
fact OF 1t, this propagation seems just
and proper. as$ 80
OF course this matter viii be up to
the commission, and they will decide

commission decide that the cost OF the
paving done by the street railway be-

li..!.enal revenue of about $4,000.

will in paying for half the cost of
paving, amount to about $40, 900 worth

third more. II the commission de-
cidos that the cost of this paving be-

HURRAH, FOR ANDERSON!

Well, the election IS over and the
bonds have been voted for street paw
ing in Anderson II was landslide,
and fully justified the faith The In
telligencer had in the progressive cit
izens Of Anderson. Thus passes an :
other epoch in the forward march OF
this city, which will, we trust. now
become as we'll known as a city of
good streets as II has been known as
THE Electric City"
The commissioners who have
charge OF this street building, are men
who have the confidence of the conf
munity, as was evidenced by the over
wheIming vote cast for the bond is
sue. Had It not been thus, the bond
issue would have been defeated by as
large majority as it was carried by,
and Anderson would have had to wad .
die along IN the mud. The Intelligen-
Ger saw this would be the result un-
less the commission were removed
from any suspicion Of politics. and
hence our fight to have the matter
taken out OF the hands of the city
council, and entrusted to a non poll
tical and non partisan commission.
The .Intelligehcer desires to con
gratulate the city on it's vote and the
chance to secure paved streets. Let
the work begin and proceed rapidly
so IL possible. the winter rains will
not be feared with the feeling of dread
usual at the approach OF the cold
weather. The gentlemen who have
this matter in charge will now begin
TO erect O monument which will en-
dure long after they are gone from
the scene Of their labors, and are
walking on the golden streets of the
New Jerusalem. May the memory OF
their work be that of applause for
duty fearlessly and we'll done, and
may they bring to this task the same
cqol and deliberate business acumen
which has characterized the business
careers Of many OF them.
Our hats are off to you. gentlemen.
We want paved streets. We have
shown our faith in you. Now show
us what you can do. and we shall ever
feel grateful.

SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE

remarks the Milwaukee Journal. Their
eyes are open and their minds alert
to what goes on around them. They
see how other people do things and
the results they gain. When failure
comes they try to find out the cause
Of 1t. They examine success with care
to learn on what particular thing it
depended. They apply the principles
thus learned 10 their own business and
reap the benefit OF knowledge gained.
There are others who never learn save
through their own experience. Obser-

EVOLUTION or BASEBALL.
Origin and Growth Of Our Now Famous
National Game.

The national game Of the United
States, baseball, though American
in its ramifcations, has its roots in
the old world. In 1748 a game
called baseball was played by the
family of Frederick, prince Of
Wales. But the origin Of baseball
may be traced back without diff
Guilty to the club ball Of the four
teenth century. Cricket was no
doubt an Independent ofshoot,
while baseball is the brilliant Amer
icanization of another ofshoot
known both here and in England
as FOUNDERS"
The official birth of baseball
dates from September, 1845, when
the Knickerbocker club of New
York was organized and promulgat-
ed a code of rules which forms the
crude basis for the present highly
developed game. The first match
game eve played between rival
mines, both selected from the
Knickerbocker club, took place at
Hoboken, N. J., on June 10, 1916.
At the end Of four innings the lead
ing nine had made the requisite
twenty-one runs and were declared
winners.
The National Association of
Baseball Players came into exist
ence in 1857. On March 8, 1859, it
held its first annual meeting in
Cooper institute, New York. In
the convention Of 1864 the "fy
game" the modern rule that a ball
must be caught on the fly and not
on the bound, was finally adopted,
after having been voted down at
several previous conventions.
Up to 1868 stringent laws had
been passed against the receiving
of any salaries or rewards, but pro-
fessionalism gradually crept in, and
in 1869 was formally recognized
when the famous Cincinnati Red
Stockings, frankly a salaried club,
made a spectacular tour, playing
clubs from Maine to California. In
Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn, is
a tall marble slab, surmounted by a
huge baseball, which is inscribed:
"In Memoriam, Henry Chadwick,
Father of Baseball. Born, October,
1924. Died, April 20, 19O6."-

YaWn For Your Health.

DR.. Naegeli, professor of medi-
cine at Liege university, commends
the practice of yawning as a physi-
cal reviver. A good yawn, the pro-
lessor maintains, is excellent for
the lungs and for all the breathing
organs as well. But there is an art
in yawning, he says, just as there is
an art in breathing. Every yawn
should be as deep as possible, so as
to bring all the muscles of the
throat and chest into action, and
also to fill the lungs with a current
Of fresh air.
DIR. Naegeli has known of many
cases in which a sore throat has
been alleviated by persistent yawn-
ing, says the London Chronicle.

Playing Cards.

The origin of playing cards is
uncertain, although it is probable
that they appeared in Europe in
1850. 1t is asserted, however, that
the Arabs, Saracens or Moors in
PRODUCED them into Europe by way
of Spain. They are said to have
been brought from the country of
the Saracens to Viterbo, in Italy, in
1879. The earliest known mention
of European cards occurs in 1892.
Early in the fifteenth century the
use of playing cards spread all over
Europe. A duty was first placed on
playing cards in England in 1915.
1t is estimated that about 10000
600 packs are annually manufac-
tured in the United States.-In-
