Tite (rip from New York to San Francisco can now be made in fourteen days wlierus It formerly took twenty-four days under the most favorable conditions. Water und rail competition In this way means In creased opportunity and economy in transportation, effecting tue interests of every American citizen, but par ticularly the people of this section. - This achievement is the culmina tion of four centuries of dree.uilng? ever since Chartes V of Spain nad a survey made arrosa the Isthmus In 1520. The United States Is to pay $:?7?. 000,000 for this work an engineers any that It is I ho cheapest piece of good work on record. Three vital ele ments entend lulo the successful building of 111 i h cu?al -elements which could hardly have been found in any other nation. "The financial resources of a very rich nation, the constructive and administrative ge nius of Americans, and the ability to cope with the distress of the Trop ics." In brief, money, brams. and health. It is generally conceded then that the building of this canni is the moat stupendous engineering achieve ment In the history of i|o world, and its opening will he a notable event, influencing trade conditions in the re motest corners of the curili. As a consequoirce of changing routes of ocean travel, new migrations of men will take place anil new financial und trade conditions will develop. Much as the opening or the canal will mean to the world generally, nnd to the American nation tn particular, it manifestly will signify more for our Southern states than tor any oth er region. The South Is great pro ducer, but It Is alamentable fact that nur direct world trade is very lim ited. The opening of the canal ?fters lo the South tho greatest opportunity It will ever huve to develop a foreign irado. Hecuusc of its udvantagcous sltu itlon, and excellent support it Ion and Its excellent seaport, South Carolina should immediately and per innnently enjoy these benedts nuv. Abundantly. Hut are we ntlvo to our [opportunity? Let us wake up, und ?irouso Interest before It is too Inte. The Panama Paeitle International Exposition lo celebrate the comple tion of the canal, will open February ?0, 1915. You know, of course, of tho magnitude of this exposition, in which thirty-six foreign tintions will participate, and moat of our own States. Forty-three states have al ready accepted the invitation to erect Imildinga and exhibit a. Among all the r-.tatos of Importance, should South Carolina alone be conspicuous by her absence? Since our legislature failed to make in appropriation to erect state building mid send an exnlblt, is tt not our duty, as Individuals, io see that sve are creditably represented there? Ignoring the matter ot state pride, would It not be poor business policy to neglect the opportunity or exploiting our resources nnd naturai advanta ges? We cannot afford to sit still, de luding ourselves with the fallacious notion that the trade o* the world will ? Hin. unsought. Our .-? mingi will never Ii?- known unless wo pro Inlin t Ik m.

(?IC.tzm; HKKP CATTLE We were very much interested in statement made here last Tuesday by Paul V. Moore, secretary or the Spartanburg citami? r of commerce. Mr. Moore and J. L. Watt of Cicmson ollege, went io Northern Missouri with $ ?, to buy heel cattle for tlie farmers of Andemm and Spartan burg. Mr. Moore's siatemeli: was liiat lit! ?aule miser from w:iom they bought the beef cattle Declared his dissatisfaction with that section or the country. Mr. Moore stated thai this Missou ri farmer realizes that the grazing season is all too short. It is all right while it lasts. Imi the winters are long and severe and the rummers are hotter than in South Carolina. Why should not Anderson uiake an effort lo induce such men io come to this cornil y ? They might start merely a branch of the industry here, and. if it succeeds, let the undertaking become greater and greater ail of the time. Wo read in the Bible, some of us do. of the famines of the good old days, and we do not appreciate that this country is now facing, hoc exactly a famine, hut a real shortage in beef supply. The statisi ics show that the number of heel* cattle in the United States lias been reduced nearly 1,260, 000 iu a year. That. niunaer :s al most equivalent to the population of South Carolina. The boll weevil Is coining. Thai is what tho experts and mc scientists tell us. We are really noi bo much afraid of the boll weevil as we were a few years ago, but he is on nls way. The reason this section feels more secure Is because wc arc gradually planting mon! grain, mid m other ways varying the crops. Just one thing more is needed to make all of the hillsides green with Uermudn and clovers and to cause tn~ meadows to be filled with beef catt!?. The boll weevil may come, but if 1 lie has no cotton bolls on which tt* I gorge himself, the farmer \ not ; suffer. The country is beginning to turn to the southeast for its beef cat tle and it:- grazing ranges. What better breeding place could be found lhan the HoiKliuasi? !n tnt Southern states are millions of ac res of cheap, well watered lands that I are ideal for stock raising. There is little of the land that could not be Utilized for that purpose. There are many factors that enter into making this sect lo.: trie future stock growing zone of America. Not the least of these is I he tong graz ing season. In most sections of the Southeast cattle can graze Tor urne months in the year with no shelter at all. Sheep can graze throughout the season without any olhsr loou tinin they can gather in the Heids. In ad dition tho Southeast grows more vol untary grasses, like lespezeua and mcllllotUS, which make excellent, graz ing and which require no attention or cultivation by man. Tnere is Kltle of the land in the Souineast that is not well watered, and mil m or tee land ? of limestone foititntlon, watch ,r . client shows is best adapted tc il reeding cattle of large proportion:!. The soils of the Southeast are adapted to raising good crops or corn and le gumes which are suitable l'or winter 'feeding during the few months inai the caule cannot rustle for them selves. Dr. C. M. Rommel, chief of tho Di vision of Animal industry or the Uni teti States Department of Agriculture, .recently said that the South can pro duce cattle beef as low as three cents a pound. Statistics shoVv that the cattle will bring about e-.glioVcnts per pound in any marker. 1 When tho candidates for the sen ate licgan discusrlng the asylum in ! vestlgntion one of the contemporaries bad a headline: "Candidates bnve got to asylum at last."

GIS HIS VIEWS ON IMPORTANT ISSUES PP.OF CLINKSCALES SPOKE HERE ABOUT EDUCATION Told His Hearers On Court House Square of What He Hopes To Accomplish For the State The cordial welcome wIi?<-!i Ikir been accorded " i i m on ev?iy hand since Iiis arrival in Anderson roimiy yesterday morning dcmonsi rules ihc f:ict Unit I'ror.

Th :?<? is no more popular man in the race for governor Mian is Prof. Clink ?.'rales, eo far as Anderson county i.? concerned, and Im posai *cs a real strengt-! here. At the r"(|iicst of some Tri ?mis Prof. Clinkscnlen rpoke .1 few minutes rroni the court house slops during the after noon to a crowd of abolii 200 people. Prof. Clinkscales was hoarse, having caught cold the night 'udore. ?? spoke very ciicouragiugly of his race and explained Iiis recommendations in legard to compulsory education. It is Iiis desire that the legislature pass u law requiring all children between tho ages of seven mid twelve t oattend schools for at least three months dur ing each year. He showed how such a requirement would not interferi with the farmer who would need his chil dren lo help make eis crop, as the children could attend school during the three winter months. M i explain ed, further that such law could not interfere with the man ut the mill as children under 12 years of age are not allowed to work In the mill. He spoke of the many firemen on railroads who could never oe engineers because they could not read and write. He stiid that there are many line mochantes in the industrial Institutions who could not read and write. .Many ci these men, he sa id,had t.ld him of how they regretted that their parents had rot been required to sani th.m to school and thereby give him a better chunco. He said t!:ere were nearly 10,000 while children in South Carolina who never attend school. Prof. Clinkscales expressed nls pleasure at being hi the county among the people who had given him his start, he having been school commis' stoner of Anderson county" for four yea rs. DEATH OF UV\ ( OMPT?.N Anderson lb>\ hilled in a Wreck ut Tocco?, l'a. Toccoa (Ca 1 "cord. ?.lr. Cuy Compton wan injured In an automobil' accident here late last Thursday afternoon, receiving injuries from which he died at 4 o'clock Friday morning. While riding in an automobile near W.

The party was on the extreme right of the car trying to avoid a collision with a passing team which bad pulled over in front of them, and when Coinp ton was thrown from his seat he struck a telegraph1 pole, and as the machine pnsbed by bo was terribly crushed about the abdomen and legs. He was im mediately taken to a phy sician's- ollice, where bis right leg was amputated, ami at the time it was thought Hint by the operation the ac cident would not prove, fatal. The di rect cause of his deatli was from bleeding internally from Injuries re ceived in the crash. Mr. Comptoii's parents, Mr. and Mrs. II. T. Coinpton, of 1024 W*. Market street, Anderson! S. C., were at once notified of tlic serious nature of the accident. Mrs. Compton arrived here about twenty minutes before the end came, his father not reaching Toccoa until Friday afternoon, being absent from home at (ho time.

ANDERSON WOMEN ALWAYS INTERESTED TAKE PART IN ALL FARMERS' INSTITUTES ECONOMICAL PLAN Miss Mary E. Frayser Feels That Many Women In State Are Not Interested in the Work Maybe tlx- women In some other sections of .South ?anilina do not evinc e the proper interest in the farm, ers' institutes held in their section, hut this dooH not upply to Anderson coun ty. The women of (he county have always taken an active interest here when anything ?f the kind is proposed and they have been responsible in a ilnrge measure for the successes at tained by these institutions. I Miss Mary B. Frayser of Winthrop I Collega, in charge of extension work ; in home economics, wishes cmphasi/. jed the fact that women have an equal share and interest with the men in the state farmers' institut'- now being i held all over the state. Miss Frayser I is again connected with the enterprise tlii.i summer and was in Columbia I yesterday, at which time sh - gave out ! an interview. Somehow, says she, the women of the rural communities do not Keeni to realize that the insti tute is for them as woll as for their i husbands. Usually they attend the meetings, but generally Just for the sake of going somewhere or for the , purpose of carrying along the dinner ;and they are surprised to find that a i part of the program Is for them?for i the discussion of questions of vital In ! terest to the home?such as economi cal methods, labor saving devices and I appliances, the care and feeding of babies and all allied topics. 'The force-- of Clemson and Win throp coll?gare cooperating in this i institute work under the direction of W. W. l.ong. state agent In charge of farm d?monstration work, and I want to impress upon th ; women of the ru ral communities that Winthrop's part of the program Is for the women as Clemson's is for the tuen," declares Miss Frayser. The Institutes are being held by four parties, each traveling in a different section of the state, and giving three days to each county. The women trav eling with these parties are .Miss Frayser and Miss Caroline Bostick, a Winthrop graduate, who has made good at the Berry Industrial School for Cirls in Home. Ga. in the 21 counties where there are county or ganizers for the girls' canning club work, the women's interests in the In stitutes aro being bandied bv these or ganizers. Miss Frayser and Miss Dos-| lick look to them in the other 20 counties. Having a woman with a party of of men conducting the institute work was an experiment of a year ago, sug gested by Mis Frayser of Winthrop. Miss Frayser accompanied mio party last summer and the interest on the part of both men and women In what she had to offer soon proved the ad visability of giving a definite part to women on the program this year. Mr. Long had hoped to have several wo men on the program this summer for this work exclusively but the funds were not available, so Miss I'arrott. state agent In charge of girls' clubs, with her assistants in 24 counties, co operated with Mr. Long and Miss Frayser to provide a program for the women in each county. In this way the whole state Is covered and the wo men everywhere ate being given the benefit of lectures and demonstrations on all phases of household work and all questions of home economics. The instituto began July 14 and will last through August 22. CAMPAIGN DATE AT PENDLETON Big Picnic Dinner and Music Will Greet Candidates and Their Friends CAMPAIGN MEETING AT PENDLE..
