PALESTINES ONE GREAT NEED
Good things are being offered to
Palestine these days Some of them
will be secured and some of them
will be lost At present one of the
biggest plant concerns in the country
is knocking atour doof and will come
here and locate1 a great Industry if
the Inducement is offered And the
government Is asking to Lave the co-
operation of the people in establish

THE
VTaisin53SA im o eTRhingS are con
fitantlybeing offered things that if
secured would Increase the wealth
and population of the town and coun-
ty and offer an attraction to draw
other Industries and enterprises Pal-
estine Is fully able financially and in
other ways to handle these proposi-
tions and make them part of our re-
sources and the only reason v > e are
not doing it is because so many of
the substantial men of the town re-
fuse tocome out and take hold in the
public work True the city has a-
Board of Trade and a few loyal men
are doing all possible to take care of
the situation but a few men however
earnest and zealous cannot handle
the situation What this town needs
and needs right now is a stronger or-
ganization and more help from the
people who should help whose pri-
vate interests would be helped by do-
ing some of the public worlc This is
not newspaper talk but expresses an
actual condition in this city The
great body of men are taking no in-
terest in public affairs Two propo-
sitions are before the Board of Trade
right now that demand the very best
attention of the business element and
they should have this interest The
Herald sincerely hopes that with the
beginning of the new year the men
of the town will respond to the situ

did5 towns which deserve really live
wideawake effective organizations
Which will answer correspondence
promptly and give the right kind of
reception to interetsed visitors
Many a manufacturer has had the
disappointing experience of writing
to towns and getting no response
but this is not as bad as the experi-
ence of the manufacturer who per-
sonally visits the town at his own
expense and when he gets there can
find no organizations to tell him
about unoccupied factory buildings or
factory sites or railroad freight rates
or labor conditions or any one of the
several questions which every town
with ambition to grow can afford to
have a paid secretary to handle for
the interest of the town and for the
information of all interested in-
quirers
There is no compromise with in-
active organizations They are worse
than no organization at all
Near organizations is a good
name for the type of shadows to
which we allude Their detriment to
a town is as certain as fate and the
ways in which such near organiza-
tions hurt are even more numerous
than the ways in which an active
live effective organization helps a
town or city
NEAR ORGANIZATIONS
In its December issue Town De-
velopment a magazine published in
Chicago had the following article
which contains much food for
thought
From time to time Town Develop-
ment makes conspicuous mention
of tlibse towns and cities which have
commercial organizations in name
onlyThe
The commercial club business
mens association chamber of com-
merce or like organization which is
an organization in name only is a
greater detriment to the town or city
in which it pretends to exist than
any citizen in the town can under-
stand In the nature of things the
citizen is not the man who under-
stands He has little or no direct
opportunity to know the shortcomings
of such an organization compared to
the manufacturer or business man
who vists the town with a business
object and after being referred by
three or four different men on whom
he calls to as many other men with
even less interest or know ledge of
how to help the inquirer takes the
next train out of town with the al-
most ineffacable impression that the
town is a dead one A live active or-
ganization would have given the in-
quirer just the opposite impression
Inactive organizations hurj a town
in other directions and in the inter-
est of all concerned they should be
put out of existence so as not longer I was a thrilling act and yl
to mislead really sincere and inters knife was thrown the yi
ested parties
Anderson county people have some-
thing to sell most all the year round

Really now these conspiring poli-
ticians should quit teasing Oscar B
How can he run for governor if he is
to be the victim of dark conspira-
cies
We are progressing the Board of
Trade last night voted to solicit gov-
ernment bulletins on the split log
drag and have them distributed to
the people who are interested in bet-
ter roads The United States govern-
ment experts have said the drag is
the best road making machine ever
designed And the government is
pretty good authority
President Silliman announced last
night that he would call at an early
date a special Good Roads meeting
of the Board of Trade to go into a
full discussion of the roads question
Certainly nothing is of more impor-
tance than the building of good roads
and if a general discussion will help
to that end then a good work will be
accomplished by such a meeting of
the Board
