Anderson's Showing. From the very first It appeared that Richard I. Manning would carry An dorson county. He received a good vdto at tho cotton mills' and In the country and swept tho towns where he.Je known personally. The county ticket was interesting in its developments. Wyatt Aiken ran away with Dominlck, carrying every county ' in the district, including An derson,, G. N.. C. Boleman, for many years county auditor but for several years out of politics, dofeated for county treasurer Dr. W. A. Trlpp, an ap poihteo of Gov. Blease. J. Mack King, another appointee of the governor, appeared In tho earlier returns to bo defeated but later he cain& from behind and now it appears will be elected by about 75 or 100 votes. Some good men were elected and some good men were defeated in the commissioners' race. The legislative delegation will prob ably'consist of J. L. Shernrd, senator; .7no. T. West, $. A. - Burns, Geo. M. Heed. P.-ufua Fant, Jr.,. J. H. Hutchl son and Sara M. Wolfe. There are two boxes to be heard from which may put W. W. Scott in, but It is hardly probable. If the present delegation, Scott, Gray and Kelson, have been defeated: Summers offered for the senate; Ashley and Hall did not seek another term.

Washington, Sept. 8.?A commit tee of railroad presidents will appeal directly to President Wilson tomor row to assist them in devising means for tiding over the dlmcultie? they say have grown out of the wi r in Europe. They are prepared to lay before Mr, Wilson facts and figures tending to show that the war in Eu rope has made it practically impos sible to raise additional funds. The president already has indicated a receptive attitude by this tacw agreement to the postponment of th* railroad! securities bill until next ses tlon to avoid embarrassir.r,* the rail roads for increased rates, but that he considers that he has no right to interfere with the Jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission. The conference was arranged at tho request of the railroad men, and the committee which is to see the Presi dent is undorstood to represent prac tically every largo railroad in the country. NO BREAD FAMINE. There will be no bread famine in the United States this year. The larg est wheat crop in history has Just been harvested and according to the United States Department of Agricul ture, the total production 1b approxi mately 911,000,000 bushels; nearly 150,000,000 bushels more than any pre vious crop produced In the United .States. Wo have at leaat 350,000.000 bushels of wheat which are not needed for consumption at home or for seed,. Tho surplus production of the United Statea usually goes to Europe, but under present conditions, cauaed by the European war, this cereal cannot cross the ocean. About 76,000.000 buBhels have already been taken for export, but most of It is being held at the porta of Oepartun*. Conditions across che water are not so encouraging. vYur In Europe tends to prevent the shipment of when;.: from surplus European countries to those which need Imports?for exam ple?from Russia to Prance and a [famine there seems Inevitable. le For DAY OF PRAYER IS DESIGNATED PRESIDENT NAMES THE DAY TO PRAY FOR PEACE AMONG NATIONS SUNDAY OCT. 4TH All God Fearing People Are Ask ed To Pray For Peace In Europe Washington, Sept. 8.?President Wilson today signed a proclamation calling on tho people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe.

"And whereas, in this, as In all things, it 1b our privilege and duty to seek counsel und succor of Almigh ty God, humble ourselvoB before Him, confessing our weakness and our lack of wisdom to these things. "And whereas, it is our especial wish and longing of the people of the TJnlt'id States In prayer and counsel ana all friendliness, to serve the cause of peace; "Therefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United states of Am erica, do designate Sunday, the fourth day of October, a day of prayer and supplication and do request all God fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of worship, there to unite in their petitions to Almighty God, that overruling 'the counsel of men, setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of con flict, in His mercy and goodness show ing a way where men can see hone. He vouchsafes his children healing peace again and restore once more that concord among men men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor truo friendship, nor any wholesale fruit or tdll or thought in the world; praying also that He for give us our Bins, our ignorance of His holy will, our wilfulness and,many er rors'.'and .lead us unto the' paths ?f obedience to places of vision and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise.

Home Valued at About $5,000 Burned to Ground?Insurance of About $3,000 on Building fProiu Wednesday's Dally.) Tlie handsome home of .Miss Essie Cllnkscales in Martin township was entirely destroyed by iire yesterday morning. The lire occurred between "> and (i o'clock und while breakfast was being prepared. Misa Cllnkscales had already arisen before the blaze was discovered. When the blaze was discovered Miss Cllnkscales1 gave the alarm and sue. ceeded in rummoning several of lier neighbors, as- a result of which much of the lino furniture in the house wus suved. although a quantity of furni liure stored in the second atory of the house was lost. The house was val ued at approximately $"?,000 but it is understood that tho owner carried in surance of $3,000 on the building. The house was a large brick building, two stories, and was ono of the nicest in the neighborhood. Miss Cllnkscales is of the opinion that the tire was of incendiary origin She says that she distinctly ehiera bers closing and locking the door last night when she retired and when she arose this morning she found the front door open. The ilre <ould not have started from n flue as it seems to have originated In a tlDSit, remov ed from any proximity to a chiinny cr flue. Miss Cllnkscales is convinced that some one forced open the front door during tho night, knowing that she and her cook were the only peo ple In the' house. One reason why It was possible to save so much of the furniture whs lhst Mi sr. Clinkscilfis had prepared to move to Anderson to make her home and had everyhting packed up, pre paratory to moving to town W-adne? day. She hndrentod her place lo a Mr. McDonald'?:nml he was to take charge Wednesday. In all probability the - matter will be referred to the Anderson county officers and they will be asked to make an Investigation, in an' effort to determine .whether the Are was of- -incendiary origin.
