Yes, Fair Enough.
(AndersOn Tribune.)

A bus line is in operation between
anderson and Seneca. 1t is opcrat-
ing in competition to the Blue Ridge
railroad, Just as the jitneys in An
derson compete with the street rail-
way system. The travelling public
appreciates the bus line because st
provides transportation to Seneca in
the early morning in time for pas
sengers TO make connection with .he
Southern No. 20 for Birmingham
and other points. The Blue Ridge.
mentioned rather prominently as the
bus's tor-discontinued the
early morning train months ago, and
since that time there has been q de-
mand for the service the bus line
is giving. AS service Is the basis OF
success the bus line is entitled TO
the patronage it gets, and should
grow.
There is no argument against a
bus line. Bus lines are in operation
the country over, and little has been
said about the fairness in their haul
ing few passengers who might have
bought railroad tickets, especially If
the passengers would suffer serious
delay before a train ran. Isolated
Anderson needs more bus lines-one
between the Electric City and Starr,
Iva, Lowndesville and Calhoun, or
between this city and Bolton, 'Honea
Path and elsewhere. These lines
should be encouraged. Bus lines will
never hurt Anderson.
Neither will bus lines seriously af-
feet the Blue Ridge. Instead, 1t Will
work to the ultimate good Of the
road, for early morning passengers
who go by bus to Seneca there catch
Southern train on the road that Is
the daddy Of the Blue Ridge. And
were 1t not for the bus these same
passengers would take the G. and w.
G. to Calhoun Falls, as they have Of
ten done, and catch the Seaboard, a
real competitor Of the Southern and
Blue Ridge.
The Anderson-Seneca bus line will
work to the good Of all parties con-
cerned. To date the Blue Ridge has
not become alarmed over the opera
tion of the lone 20-passenger bus.
H. cidentally, the bus Is carrying the
Tribune to several hundred subscrib-
ers at Autun, Sandy Springs, Pendle-
ton, Clemson College and Seneca the
same day 1t is published, and giving
rural subscribers at these places the
morning news few hours after 1t
Is published.
Fair enough!

LEE COUNTY WOMAN KILLS SELF
Ill Health Is Supposed to Have Been
tho Cause OF Rash Act.

Camden, May Mrs. Minnie
Copeland, Of Elliotts Gro. Roads,
In Lee county, who had been visiting
at the home Of her father G. J. Ba-
ker, a few miles east Of Camden,
killed herself Monday afternoon by
shooting the top of her head off with
a shotgun. 1t is said that she had
been in i'll health for some time and
had on more than one occasion made
threats to take her life. She used
shotgun with string tied to the
trigger, and her death was instanta-
Eeous.
Mrs. Copeland Is survived by her
husband and several small children.
1t was not deemed necessary to hold
an inquest, as everything pointed so
clearly to suicide.

South Carolina s. 8. Association to
Hold Session Juno 20, 21, %.

Spartanburg, May S.-The pro-
gram for the State Convention Of
the South Carolina Sunday School
Association, to be hold in Colum-
bia, June 20, 81 and %, is practically
complete, and 1t includes addresses
and lectures by number Of the most
noted Sunday school workers IN
America, according to Leon G. Pal
mcr, general superintendent Of the
association, who has his offices in
the Allen & Law Building here. Mr..
Palmer Is confident that there will
be large number Of delegates from
every county In South Carolina In
attendance upon the convention in
June.
The convention Is to be held at
the University of South Carolina,
and President Currcll has told Mr..
Palmer that the university authori-
ties are lookiig forward to its ses-
sions with interest and regard this
convention as one Of the most yalu-
able meetings that will be held in
Columbia this year.
Another reason why a large at
tendance is anticipated is because Of
the central location of Columbia to
all sections Of the State, thus max
ing 1t easy for enthusiastic Sunday
school workers to reach the conven-
tion seat. The South Carolina Sun
day School Association now has q
complete organization in every coun-
ty of the State, and according to
many religious leaders, it Is doing
the most wonderful work for the
promotion Of Christ's kindgom
through enlisting the interest Of SO
many bright boys and girls and men
and women in Sunday school work.

(Anderson Daily Mail.)

The Blue Ridge Railroad pays a
considerable amount Of taxes to the
city of Anderson, and In addition q
license to do business. The railroad
also pays considerable taxes to the
county for the building and upkeep
of the roads. Recently q bus line
has been est. blished between Seneca
and Anderson in competition to the
railroad, and has free use Of the
highways which the railroad has
helped to build. We would like to
know, as matter of curiosity, how
much license the bus line Is paying
to do business in Anderson. We hold
no brief for the railroad, and have
nothing against the bus line, but we
dc believe in fair play for all hands.

This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful
housewife replenishes her sup
ply of Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy. It is almost certain to be
needed before the winter is over
and results are much more
promp and satisfactory when it
is kept at hand and given as soon
as the first Indication of a cold
appears and before it has become
settled in the system. There is
no danger in giving it to children
as it contains no opium or other
harmful drug. Obtainable every
