The people seem to be the position of The that thia ls an Inopportune time for bringing up the matter at all. Uesidea there ia no need to be in a burry over it, as the present City Council has almost two years to serve before the new plan could become effective, as we understand that lt cannot serve to oust any officer before li lu term af office expires. Another matter is that If this election bc held now and ls defeated it will be two, and possibly four years, before there could be another election, as tho law makes this provision. So we would ask the unknown forcea at to withdraw the petition, and let us get through the paving proportion, and wc then shall have ample time before the next election for city officers to discuss and carry the election for the comm)seion form of government.

What we need now is street paving, and not a multiplicity of thlngn to defeat any and al) propositions.

8om0 time ago the question of working the roads In Anderson county was beta? discussed here and there, bot the matter was dropped and con. sequeaUy -uD results were obtained.

In the meantime the and of this project tfould efforts made towards materialising The cost of a neat sign at all of tho crossroads la tbs county would be very small and many good resulta would obtained therefrom. Why not make Anderson county a pioneer in this wornt VIEL PEOPLE-OTHER PEOPLE We hear a great deal of Ulk tbeas daya about the mill people aa if they Were at alt different from other people- that ts to say the.

rest ot us. Wc should like to know if they are not bone of our botte and flesh or our flesh. Did they not come from the same all ot aa came from? Were they nut bred and born ta country where most of ua were bred and born? Have they not the same needs and the same tm- pulses that we all have? Did not many of them follow the plow Just aa vro bavo done. We don't know how other people feet after they -have moved to town, and rubbed a little of the country off, but we r.ro proud of our country rearing, sad of the fact that we followed tbs plow. It is sn honorable and a very high calling.

But why thia distinction? We know why and bow it cam? about. It ls the work ot thc demagogues who care nothing for the good nf tbs people sa a whole. These nave not enough merit.to win tn a political contest, and so they divide the peo- pie, and get them to feet that they ere the friends of a certain class who are wronged by another class. The facts are they care not one lota for say particular eave sa they may use lt for their own advantages sad preferment.

This will do much good In equalizing the price? being paid for the products of the farm. It ls a matter, however, that must be handled with great care, to keep from discriminating against certain markets, and the reports made will bear -watching, for it ls considered a good I thing for any place to have a good market, and the "highest in the State." The Intelligencer yeBteraay had an editorial stating that Anderson was one of the leading cotton markets in the State.

Thia is out hy the quotations from overy section of the State aa published today In the Columbia State. The market In Anderson did not get into report, but that I does nor prevent our knowing at least that the Price paid for cotton in Anderson was aa high aa anywhere in the State, and higher than in all but two, markets, and one of them, Monea Path, is in Anderson county. These reports show great disparity In the prices teing paid for staple products. Evidently in. a great many places the farmers are being deprived of a rees- I onable and fair price for their pro- ducts.

This is the work that the department of Commerce and Agriculture should perform. If Col. Ebbie would give his attention to auch mattera and not to "hot air" tours of the State, talking about'things not in his "line," and of which his real knowledge is somewhat limited, the people of the 11 State would not be losing confidence 11 in him and his work. Why has not this been done? Why was lt left for a newspaper to see the importance of such a aystematic daily report? We feel sure that all the papers In the State would be delighted to carry Just such Information, and the taxpayers would not frei at all "sore" If their money should be spent in doing Just this kind of work. As lt is there seems to be only one newspaper in the State that can get anything from this office, unless it ls copied from this favored 1 newspaper.

Quoting from The State: In reports from cotton markets from i 36 South Carolina towna, the prices paid for middling cotton varied all thfl way from 7 1-2 to 8 1-2 cents a pound. Eight cents was the prevailing price this being paid in 13 of the 25 markets. Hones Path and Winnsboro led ia the staple market by paying 8 l-2c. There was a wide variation tn prices for steined grades. The range here' in some markets was from 3c to 6c a pound.

In others lt was 4c to 6c; In others 6c to 7c There was a greater disparity in the prices for cotton seed. Easley paid the- highest price for this commodity, ii the farmers there receiving $2 per 10b (zounds. Mullins ranked. ssond, paying a 9.1.80 per cwt. Hampton paid $1.60.

tl In eight other markets, seed brought $1 per cwt. Those were. Clinton, Ches, ter, Union, Kershaw, Cheraw, Jones- ville. Belton and Plckens. There was a great disparity in prices of grains, in South Carolina markets yesterday as in that for cotton and cot- Ionised' quoted the previous day.

The price for coro ranged from 60c a bushel to 91.10, three markets, of Spartanburg. Clinton and ino lotter price. It woo from that the 60c quotation was mode. The ruling price woo fl. Il the wheat market oleo there woo wida divergence in Three quotations were $3 buoLul.

These Johnston and Clinton. At the opposite end of the scale were tl Ridgeland and Pickano these poy in li 91.40 a bushel. There woo notable uniformity In oats quotations. The ruling price for thia groin was 75c bushel. Only one Ul market, that ot Manning, paying 85c, went above this.

It ls difficult to maintain anything li like Stable market for peas, incident tl to the damaged quality of a large percentage ot this commodity. Morion quoted prices os high os 93.50. Several others gove the range extending front 91 to 93.35. Belton quoted $3 aa the price.tor white table peas. Tho ruling price was around $1.60.

There waa not aa much variation Ul prices for cottonseed meal aa might hare been expected in view of the range of prices ptud for cotton seed. Hampton was receiving 930 toa. Rock Hill 938. wrth Belton and Charleston quotioy INAUGURATION The following very laureating oe- count ot the Inauguration of Governor I Hampton taken from the Newberry Observer; being colled forth by on editorial reference lu The State that there woo a similarity between th? tn- auguraUon of Manning and Hampton! 1 There woe something alike in the two both marked new eras ia the state's history, ead the redemptive woe conspicuous la both. Rut there woo no crowd ot the Hampton Inauguration.

Because of the uncertainty then pre voil lng. It woo not known when Hampton would tnouguraed. or whether at all. Th? wa?

Wallace of Union 'ey the Tko Radical speaker et one end, the speaker's desk; tho speaker at the other ead the farces each were lined up in front, and epa ra? proceedings went on slmulkneously by each faction. When night ame the members slept in the hall in rder to hold possession till the next ay. After a time the Democratic memera vacated the hall and moved up treet to what waa known aa "Caroina Hall," 'wtitcft- stood about a bunred feet off the east side of Main treet, nearly in rear of the Wheeler louee, now the Imperial hotel. United itatea soldiers guarded the doors ot he state houae and hall pf repreentatives, and to gain admittance to tie hall one must htve a "pass" from Yankee officer. And so there was no certainty of I lie day of tho inauguration.

It was nally eet one day for the next-DeC. 4th. Hundreds of people wanted to go nd would have gone from thia town, nd asked for a special train; but Superintendent Dodamead of the Coumbla Greenville waited and dulled, and kept hesitating, till the ountry people bad gone home and the own people to bed, and then wired that the special would.come in the arly morning to crowd own. There were no telephones then, nd thc "crowd" trever knew about nd so next morning very early 13 lersons boarded the special of ll cars nd went dowtv to the inauguration. Io other were run in the tate, and there, was no crowd at the nangara I which took dace on the platform of the outside roodensteps that led up toto "Carolina fall." where the Wallace Houae held rs legislative session.

In tho party, of 12 were W. P. nounal, now of Columbia, and the writer, nd the party anticipating trouble ibout getting back home that night lelegated us two to see Col. Dodamead nd ask him about it. IIe received us deasnntly.

I hnvp attended many inaugurations, ncludlng those of Moses, Chamberain, Hampton. Richardson, Tillman, leyward and Manning. Of all these iona promised greater things for the tate than that of Hampton, tn 1876, nd that of Manning, in 1915. The State waa not disappointed in lampton, and I am crrvfldent Jl witt tot be in Manning.

iIKIITENANT GOVERNORS WHO HAVE BECOME GOVERNORA We have several times heard the) omar ic by people of other denomlatlons, that the Baptists stick to-1 ether for one of their number lnl a election. Facts easily disprove mt assertion, however. There; are more Bapttats In South arallna than all, other denomlnalons combined, and yet. tn all tue latory of thia State, no Baptist ha-? ver been elected governor. Two laptista have occupied that exalted osltlon, but both of them became overnor through the resignation of overnora.

John C. Sheppard ot Idgefleld. the father ct Mrs. D. D.

toColl, of Bennettsvllle. waa lie -first Baptist governor. He hearne governor after the realguftlon of Gov. HuM' s. Thompson.

The second Baptist governor was has. A. Smith of Ie served five days, between lie printing of last week's and thia ten? of the Advocate. He became overnor through the resignation Governor Blease. These facts show the fallacy ot tie statement that the Baptists tick together.

They would ave had a governor of this State governors of other had not resigned In favor ot lap tl st lieutenant-governors. And Marlboro county'occupies the ame position as the Baptsts in thia ea peet, although the percentage ot laptista in thia county ts much than tn most counties. Marlboro is one of the oldest, most istorlcal. best and most progressive ountlea in ihe State, hut only overnor thia county ever had was Ot elevated to the office lr. B.

K. Henagan of thia county be- ame governor upon the death of.Gov? mor Patrick Noble tn Only two governors ot this State ave ever resigned. Hugh- S. Thome- on. who bad also served as State BUertntendent ot education resigned as overnor to accept the position ot aa? latent secretary of the treasury, of He United States under President loveland's first administration.

It ls a coincidence that the only sro lieutenant governors who have ecome governors throagh the reIgnation ot other governors, were only two Baptists who have evr been governor. Only two lieutenant govof have I eeesne governors on acocant the oath ot governors. The fast one wes I. B. Mcsweeney, who he position after the death; Gov.

V. H. Bllerbe, whose widow and hlldrea now reside In Bennettsvllle. ne other one waa Dr. Heaagan.

It i a coincident that the original name hta family was sweeney. The hlsory of the old Cheraws saya: "James Sweeney ts supposed to ave been the progenitor of the preent family ot Henegaa. It ts known sat thu was called the Sweeney at an early period. Whoa or rhy the change took 4a not nowa to the present 2. Heaeaaa waa the first ot nat oame."
