WHAT WILL OUR DELEGATION DO,

The Intclligenccr cannot conceive that the An
derson County delegation I'm the legislature would
turn down the proposition to make appropra-
ton for support of the farm dcmonstrGtor for An
d1rson County. We have long boasted that Andcr-
son Is the leading county I'm the State agricuurally
and that her citizens among the most progress
sye to be found anywhere. Persons informed say
that this county stands among few in the South as
TO the variety and quantity OF her products agrcul
turally, and we believe this to be true
Grecnville and Spartanburg counties are com
pettors for first place. and the legislative delega-
tions for these counties held special sessions be-
fore going to Columbia and Immediately made the
appropriation asked for by Mr.. Long. There was
not moments hesitation and Mr.. Long was as
sured OF their hearty cooperation to make the work
OF the demonstrator success in those counties
Anderson's legislative delegation was also called
together and the proposition was made as
had been made few days prior to these other
counties. But, how did the Anderson delegation
receive IT? Did they eagerly embrace the oppor-
Unity Tor securing one OF the best experts in the
state? Did they say TO Mr. Long: "Yes send US
YOUR best man and we shall give you our earnest
cooperation to make his work a success We be-
1--we in the agricultural supremacy OF our county
and are determined that farmers shall have as
good expert advice the State has to give?"
No, they began to put the matter off on one pre-
text or another. and to delay giving Mr. Long the
assurance that he would have their aid and sup
port. They have kept putting 1t off, till month
has passed and the foundation work needed to be
done during January has been delayed.
NOW comes news from Columbia that the dele
CATION is not likely to make the appropriation but
that one or two OF them holdns back Acting
on his faith in the progressiveness and berality
2f the delegation Mr. Long has sent the best man in
|tae State to Anderson County Now unless this ap-
preparation be made, Mr.. Garrison will doubtless
De Withdrawn and sent elsewhere Surely this will
not be allowed. There should be such a protest
raised that the members OF the delegation who are
holding P this assurance of support will be forced
TO accede 70 the request for aid. The people want
It, and should demand it. The work to be done
VIII be OF Neneft to all the people. especially to
those who need 1t most--the rural farmer in the
Isolated seetRns Of the county. Therefore, let
there be deRand for this appropriation SO loud
and insistent Mat the doubtful and hesitating
fhomases on tffe delegation will heed and act

Correspondent Writes of Mail Order
H0nses and Their Methods. 81

From different sources have re-
cdived Information that Northern
mail order houses selling goods ON
installment basis have been sending
numerous requests for credit infor-
nation to Southern retail merchants.
These requests are almost always on
fictitious firms, letter head so az
to mislead the merchant into think
ing information Is wanted for q total
ly different purpose. Seldom does the
letter head show the name OF firm
that really desires the information.
I have studied this mail order prop
osition from many angles and can
not see where the consumer can do
any better as q rule by purchasing
from these mail order houses than
| from his local towns. Besides, II
builds up some Northern, city at the
expense OF the South. and by the re-
tail merchant furnishing such In
formation he is giving an unknown
competitor q knife that may be drawn
across his own throSt.

NO GRotSD FOR SUPERIORITY.

Ihere ls nothing\more irritating to the people OF

pie from larger towAs have towards them and their

theirs that country peopN are back numbers. The

"a PENNY SAVED is A PENNY EARxED.v

The Intelligencer would like to approve the plan
for extending the time for the payment of taxes.
Ihis Will. however. entail considerable more work
on the city clerk and treasurer. and he will have
70 nave an assistant during the time OF the exten
sion, and unless the mayor will redeem his cam
paign pledge and himself assist the city clerk it
might prove bit expensive to the taxpayers to pay
the additional interest and the salary of an assist

yet to do as he promised O. the campaign and act
as assistant clerk. saving tnis additional salary.

such course as a matter of economy in these hard
