Tremendous crowds gathered in front of The Intelligencer of
fice last nteht to watch the returns come in. The crowd was far
from orderly and at one time it seemed that a serious'clash was to
come between the police of the city and some of the county peace
officers.- The disturbance was quelled, however, and no arrests were
made.
But little surprise was occasioned in Anderson over any of the
returns for county offices, lt had been freely predicted that Nicho/-:
son would sweep the field for probate judge and the tremendous
vote he received brought hearty cheers from the crowds.
Winston Smith had been picked as the leader in the race for
county auditor and he certainly did not disappoint any of his support
ers. Smith polled a tremendous vote.
In the race for congress from the third district there is even yet
room for doubt, as it may be that Dominick can get enough votes to
put him in the second race, although indications are that Aiken will
be re-elected on the first ballot. ' .
Summers and Sherard ran a very close race, indeed, for the
state senate froin Anderson county and it will be necessary to secure
the vote from the missing county boxes to tell who will be elected.
The great surprise in Anderson county, both for the anti-Blease
v faction and the Blease supporters came in the race for the United
States senate. The supporters of the governor, basing-their prediction
upon the 2,6oo majority he received in 1?12, claimed that he. would

London, August 25.-Lard Kitchener
made his first speech as minister of
war in the honse of lords today. 1
He said war undoubtedly would re
strain the forces of the ' empire and
entail big sacrifices. He laid em
phasis on the. fact that his position
in the- cabinet Involved adherence to
neither party. He said:. ?
"The terms on which I am serving
are the same as those under which
some of the finest portions of our
manhood, now so willingly stepping
forward to join the colors, are engsg
Ing That is to ssy my term of office
ls for the duration of tbe war or for
three years If the war should last
longer than that.
"It has been asked why this period
bas ben limited. It is because if this
disastrous war be prolonged and no
one can foretell for a certainty Its
duration, that after three years of war
others will take our places and e
this matter through.
"There will be serious conflicts
which undoubtedly will strain the
forces of our empire and undoubtedly
considerable sacrifices to oui' people
will be entailed. These wilt wilUngly
be borne for our honor and for the
preservation ot our .position in the
world and they will ba shared by our
Dominion who are now sending con
tingents and giving assistance of every
kind to the mather country
"Our expeditionary force has taken
the. field on the French northwest
frontier and advanced in the neighbor
hood ot Mpns (in Belgium.) Our
troops already have been for 36 hours
in contact with the superior forces
ot the German invader. During that
time they maintained the best tradi
tions of the British soldier, and behav.
ed with the utmost gallantry. The
movements they have been called up
on to execute have been these which
demanded the greatest steadiness of
a soldier and skill in tho command

PLENTY MONEY
NOW IN SIGHT
COTTON CROP IS SAFE IF
FARMERS WILL ONLY
CO-OPERATE
A COMMITTEE
Eighteen Men Appointed To
Work Out Plans For Bringing
Money Into Circulation
(By A: -iodated Prosa )
Washington. Aug. 25.-Assured that
all the currency neee3stiry lo finance
the country's cotton and other staple
cropB will be furnished by national
bunks on warehouse certificates, a
committee of eighteen representative
planters, manufacturers, dealers and
bankers and government oificiols to
night began working out plans for
actually bringing this money into cir
culation. Steua toward providing safe
and adequate warehouse facilities
ready are under way, and leaden: in
throughout the producing centers al
the movement are confident that in
thc course of a few weeks thc emerg
ency created by the European war
will have been mot. The committee
waa appointed after a conference at
tho treasury department today, and
to co-operate with lt Secretary -Mc
Adoo designated W. P. O. Harding, of
the federal reserve ..hoard; C% J.
, Brand, chief of'the office of markets,
and T. N. Carver, of the .office of
markets and rural organizations.'
In an address to the conference.
Secretary Mc Adoo emphatically con
demned . valorization schemes and
suggestions that state bantcs issue
'currency. He dwelt upon the dangers
ni. an inflated, currency .sad i declared
that the Integrity and the tinanolal
' structure of the United State? . de.
pended upon the national banks.
"It is not necessary to have every
' body issuing currency," said the sec
retary. "The national banking syutein
of this country, controlling agency
for the IKI ne of this currency in order
that we may know that every dollar
that is in circulation has been super
vised by the government and that it
will DBW carrent whercvor it ap
pears.
"This ls what ls happening In thc
treasury department overy day. State
banks are actually depositing their
securities with the national banks
and the national banks are betting
the issue against those securities and
I turning lt over to tho irtate bank? It
is perfectly simple to get lt. All you
have to do ls to have proper securi
ty."
Mr. McAdoo again pointed out tho
necessity of banks desiring to obtain
emergency currency joining the Na
tional Currency Association.
I "I stated here yesterday," ho added,
"that it was my purpose to accept
from' the banks of those currency as
sociations notes and obligations se.
cured by cotton warehouse receipts,
properly certificated and issued by
responsible warehouse men or ware
house Companies. I do not say that
those warehouses have got to be built
of brick, stone, steel or anything
else or that they must be bonded. All
I ask is that these warehouses shall
be of such a character as to protect
the cotton Itself from deterioration or
deotruclon, with adequate insurance
against fIre, and backed by resp?nst
.ble agencies, BO that when their ware
house receipts are issued wo know
?that they represent something actu
ally in storage there, something that
] can be had on presentation of re
ceipts. .
I "What does that mean? It meant
that the national bunks of this coun
try csn borrow to the extent ot 75
. per cent of their unimpaired capital
and surplus on notes secured bs
warehouse receipts for staple pro.
ducts (not alone cotton) that I think
lt ls safe to lend on,"

"We did not suceced-that is true,
but many reports as to our IOBBBB are
exaggerated. Two of our divisions
suffered but the Germans suffered al
so, especially the Prussian guard. Our
movement was an offensive one. In
view of possible failure we dione a
certain line of defense and on that
line of defense we now stand.
"It was an offensive tact which fa?i.
ed but we knew it might fall and
provided our line of occupation. Our j
army is virtually intact."
