Without tax money there can be no school {? money, and to have to close the ??hools, especially of the rural districts, because of this failure to . collect taxes, , would be folly. tTaxes have to be paid, and to pay them will mj^?j-?ate much more f a hardship one time than an ther.

' ANDERSON'S COTTON GOODS WEEK. Little did Miss Genevieve Clark, thc popular and talented daugh ter nf the Speaker of the House, dream of the ramifications nf the "Cotton Goods" movement when she started it. However, since it has assumed its national scope, instead of flinching from the re sponsibility of the movement she has bravely accepted the chair manship of the committee, which, besides Miss Clark, Miss Callie Hoke Smith, daughter of Senator Hoke Smith of our neighboring state of Georgia, and Miss Lucy Durleson, daughter of the post master general, and though this committee's mail has reached ! such proportions that it has to be i hauled in two horse wagons, these noble women of the South are standing up to their work like Trojans. The original "Buy z Bale of i Cotton" has swept over the en tire country, and every kind and 1 character of business has re sponded to its call, to buy one or : ?more bales of cotton and "carry" ?their purchases uintil the cotton \ market gets back,- to normal -con- : ditions. This movement had to do only < with,raw cotton; yet increased i consumption of COTTON I GOO?S will naturally help the cotton situation by increasing thc 1 market for the raw cotton. i After the ladies mentioned i above had started the ''Cotton ? Goods" movement by appearing, I at social functions in evening ; gowns made of cotton, thc plan i of appealing to the consumers of | this entire country to make con- i certed and systematic efforts to 1 increase the consumption of cot- ; ton goods of every kind and char- i acter, was formulated and launch ed. Immediately it was taken up by the press of the entire United States and the Retail Merchants of < the country saw the advantaged of the movement ano> embraced it at i once; in fact the movement as sumed such gigantic national pro- : portions that no "live retailer" ? r:cout?\nTfl?rd: to "keep off the i jbarui wagon/" lt 'mear?t -?ad?led. I prestige abd profits tb be "among 1 the. first in bis towivor city to (em-* i brace - the'" "National Cotton . Goods" movement, so everybody ^0|ff??3K|? Ifband' Wagon. " m < Everything that is made of cot- i ton is included in this national I movement; and in quite a n?m- i Jer pf ,cjtles .and-towns the ladies \\ pt.: .certain,.^charitable . societies i dress up in cotton dresses and i some act as "Floor-walkers" and I others a$ clerks, and in other ca- i pacifies, first having made an ar- I rangement with the management J of the store to receive a certain ] per cent of the profits of the j weeks or days* sales for their so ciety. In almost every town, and ! especially throughout the South, < the society ladies have . entered I into .this movement with a great . deal of interest and enthusiasm. < The merchants decorate their 1 biores and especially their show- 1 Windows with bales ?f cotton, and ; the green ...plants bearing , the I jeayes, and bolls, with .the manu- ; factured products prominently! ] displayed, too. i < As this is a sale feature the dis-: ! play throughout the entire store I should carry the; prices of -|he cot- ' ton goods plainly and pi*onilnent-> 1 ly displayed. A cotton goods style show could be featured here also if sufficient interest was mani- 1 fest by the ladies of Anderson. 1 The ladies could hold a style sell- 1 ing contest, by having certain of ' the most popular young ladies j stand as sponsors for certain. ' dresses and then to sell as many I of each kind of dress as possible; thc winner, being the one whose j dress sold, the best. ^ Anderson is particularly inter ested in this "National Cotton Goods" movement, not only iori ' its philanthropy, but because An-' * derson has NINETEEN BIG; ; COTTON MILLS Within r herj boundaries, whose total invest-] 1 ment totals over $17,500,000.00,;1 with a yearly output of $t5,25o,-j ooo.oo; employing over ,6,500}: people; whose, yearjy^wages andi: salaries amount to- almost 000,000.00. . 1 This is enough to arouse the j selfish interests of Anderson, so prepare to me^t your friends' and I their friends at the "National Cot tort Goods Week" celebration in Anderson the week of Oct t2th to 17th. Welcome the newly organized Ministerial Union of 'Anderson. The Intelligencer is with you. NO EXTREME LEGISLATION. Thc General Assembly of South Carolina meets today in special session, being called together by the Governor to devise means for the relief of the people of the State in "these times of financial stringency." Just what is to be accomplished, or just what can be accomplished by this meeting remains to be seen, 'l here are, ol course, numerous "plans" t ? be put forward hy this and lhat "statesman/' "whose desire is to serve the "dear peepul," and inci dentally to get ?some glory for himself. > The Intelligencer hopes that the legislature!will not go to any extreme measures nor pass any laws ihat will ?'? thc cause of gen eral dissa'tisfacl! vi, nor whic-i will create further factional or class feeling. The feeling of panic which was so prevalent when thc war in Europe first started, is passing away, and a more hopeful tone is pervading the business world. The financial situation is being cleared up without legisla tion. Whether or not any single slate can pass a law which will he worth much to the.people of a sin gle state, is a question which should be weighed gravely by our legislators before being attempb 2d. Ror^instance The intelligencer doubts the r?sdoinf.of legi?rat.iori looking to. cufta|tirt]g ?thc acreage; of the cotton crop, linlcss s?c?i legislation could be applied, ic every cotton growing state. And, oven if it could apply tfA eyer) cotton growing $tyte\ .woulds the farmers of these' states who are accustomed to planting more coi ton than any. other crop, be pre pared to produce and market other crops. Would there not b( the same cry over production il ill the farmers should raise tee much grain? Where would the surplus be sold? Would it pa} better than cotton at a low price ? Understand, we are in favor o curtailing the cotton crop nex year every acre .that the goo< business Judgment of the planter will dictate, or the combined judg r. ?nt of the business men and tty farmers. The Intelligencer, favour planting every acre of grain crop that scan b? harvested, and mat Iceted to advantage. We favt? every farmer's gro\v*?n? .y> ,: ?t;iui'.taofi "ii t ?io : ./ i-i TI Tn nil the price of cotton today at 15 cents a pound and guarantee that lt would, re main that. Wo hopo, sincerely, ,.Ujat the price will bo advanced soon,-and that wo shall ha Raved this loss.' But facts are stubborn thlngB, and it seems a rather gloomy prospect Just now. Tho Intelligencer would not have any who can do otherwise sacri fice his cotton crop, and wo trust that the fanners who can hold will not of fer a bale for sale. We also hope that the banker, business man, or money man who has debtors, and can do so, will Indulge them to the very farthpst limit. One's banker IR a safe, man to go to for ndvlco in matters financial and if the farmer will go to his banker and place Ute matter In MB hands. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred he will not Buffer for the tryst placed. Banker? and other business men. aro but human, and If they find that the. Tanner, or any debtor, ls trying ; to dodge a debt, or'not. make proper ef forts to pay it, be will get suspicions and distrustful of that man's honesty. So, Mr. Debt ol} go to your r- edt tor arid ialk .lt. over with him. Frankness often destroys distrust and creates better- feelings til round. Hold your cotton if you can but If it ls a choice of losing on your cotton or losing your credit let the cotton go. if our credit ls the more valuable. OTU KU PEtfCn; P?8KE8. ; . ... ,1, V.I.UI* V...
