Electric Ck North Bell??ven In Sn ut ?iV. Crops. Evidently .tonio of the northern con cerna doing u big business appreciate thc fact thal the South must have som'* financial assistance in hadling tlie cotton crop. A salesman for the International Shoe Company was in Anderson yesterday and while here he received a letter from his house saying that they were preparing to buy 1,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents per pound and might later increase that number if it became possible. This represents an outlay of about $50,000 on the part of the shoe man ufacturers but goes to show that the people of the north are willing to help and also that tl...' know full well cotton will eventually go up in price. -o Many Wen* To the ow. The tr&..?is leaving the city yester- j day afternoon carried a large number i of Anderson people, bound for Green- , ville. Te local people went to attend i the performance of Al G. Field's Min strels, which IB the first show that Greenville has had this season. It is I said that the show played to ? capacity house and that the entire audience en Joyed every minute of the affair from start to finish. Field has one of the beat minstrels coming south and he always draws well wherever he ap pears. The local people returned at a late hour last night on a special train over the P. & N. -o-. "Here's Ours, Where's Yours F Passers-by stopped yesterday at the plant of the Anderson Coca-Cola com pany and gazed with considerable pleasure on what they saw in the window of that popular plant. A large bale of cotton was there and across it was a placard reading, "Here's Ours, Where'E Yours?" Capt. R. J. Ramer, manager of the Ander son Ccca-Cola company, yesterday morning purchased the bale of cotton for 10 cents per pound and he says that buying the bale gave him much pleasure as it did the man from whom it was secured. It is a matter to be regretted that ther? are not several hundred more such men in Anderson. Mrs. Sloan lu the Hospital. People all over Anderson county will learn with a great deal of regret that Mrs. D. P. Sloan ls very ill ai the Anderson hospital '. Mrs. Sloan became ill and was carried to the hos pital Saturday night and Sunday morning she underwent an operation. It was said yesterday that the opera tion was successful and the patient was doing as well as could be expect ed.

Her friends In ali sections are hoping that she may Boon be restored to health. n y Sparklets Long Kcnrrii , For Children. The two little children of Mr. andi Mrs. V. M. Barnes, after being sent) to Sunday school at St? John's Meth odist church last Sunday morning, dis appeared. When the hour arrived for the children to return and they could not be located, a search was instituted and at 4:30 o'clock the Barnes chil dren, together with two oth<*r young- j sters, were located at the rear of J. H. Hutchinson's home in North An derson. It ls presumed that the par ty proved so congenial that the child ren did not take note of the passage of time but their' parents were badly worried before the "runaways" were found. (.'ruin Elevator Very Interesting. Since the announcement was pub lished a few days ago that Anderson I may build a grain elevator here with in the near future, the chamber of commerce has had hundreds of ques-1 tiona to aL?wer in regard to an eleva tor. Secretary Whaley yesterday re ceived a number ot letters from peo ple manufacturing machinery for these elevators and all of them offered their servicer In helping the Anderson undertaking to start up business. While j nothing definite has been accomplish ed as yet, it is believed that the pres ent plans may mature and may result ? in Anderson taking such a etep. A "State" Writer IN Coming Here. . A letter was received in Anderson I yesterday from the Columbia State, in | which the newspaper advised that Al bert C. Oliphant, one of the best wri ters of the staff, will he sent to I Anderson on September 30 for the' purpose of procuring matter relative to thi~ city for publication in a mam moth special edition of the 'Columbia newspaper, which is to appear at an early date. The Anderson chamber of commerce wJJl lend all possible as sistance in the preparation of this matter and it ls believed that Ander son will show up to good advantage. I'ollee Say ) Work is Hani. ' The "trafile policemen in Anderson, or rather the officers stationed at Earle and Whitner streets to carry out the duties of a traffic cop, say that they are having hard work in teach ing the people of the city to drive and ride to the right. The people in An derson have been accustomed to driv ing on either side of the street or in the middle for that matter, for such a length of time that it is hard for them to grow accustomed to the change. However, the difference Is quite noticeable, there being much loss congestion of traffic along Main street. Intent limn Met With Accident. A car on the Piedmont and Northern line railroad was delayed in the city yesterday morning for over an hour. The car left the station on Main street promptly at 11:36 but when it .-cach ed the switch at Tribbie street the rear car tailed to make the turn and started up Main street instead of down Tribbie street as lt was supposed to go. The coupling was broken and the car slightly damaged. It took over an hour to get the damage re paired and the cars , straightened out again for the rest of the run. Parlor Cars Still Lacking. Notwithstanding the Xact that defi nite announcement had been made hy the Piedmont and Northern line rail way to the effect that the parlor cars would go into use over their Unes on Sunday, it was1 found impossible to inaugurate the service on that date. The cars already have arrived in Spartanburg but a few fittings yet re main to be added, but they will ar rive and be installed within the next few days- and then the long expected service will begin. Costs Money Now to Walk. Keeping astride with everything else to eat and wear, shoe salesmen spending yesterday in Anderson said that shoe price.- had jumped and Jumped again since the war started in the foreign countries. The price is now 10, 15 and 20 cents per pair more than a few weeks ago and indicationa are that they will continue to advance. The explanation of this iles in the fact that 70 per cent of the uppers on shoes come from Russia and natur ally the supply bas been appreciably curtailed within the last few weeks. Another Car Is Repainted. Another one of Anderson's street cars appeared yesterday morning re mienden in a coat of new paint. The car to he repainted was the Orr Mill College place car and it excited con siderable comment when lt made Its first run. The car is pa;nted in the color adopted by the Southern Pub lic Utilities company, a canary color finished with aluminum and trimmed in black and red. It ls planned to have all the cars in the city repainted and renovated. -o Farmers Union Will Meet Today. The regular meeting of the Ander son county Farmers' Union will beheld in Anderson today.

Cole Manufacturing Co., ,, ; ? a& Charlotte, N. C. GENTLEMEN: I take pleasure in granting your request to use my letter in The Progressive Farmer. I used a one-row Cole Drill for sowing my oats in the fall of 1913. I am also using this year for sowing oats a Cole Three-Fur row Grain Drill, which I find very satisfactory in every rar';cu!ar. The seventeen acres for the past three years averaged 1,300 pounds of seed cotton per acre. I beg to extend to you my sincere thanks for the unsolicited publication of this letter. Yours very truly , JOHN A.

This field contains 17M acres, from which I harvested I,.*>17 bushel*. Th<> land is a red loam, with red clay subsoil.

The latter part of September, 1918, I sowed thin field In oats in the open furrow, using nln. gie oat drills, three or four rows to the cotton row, varying an to the width nf the cotton row. 1 lined no fertiliser whatever except 60 pounds of ni trate of soda applied in the spring, at the na me time running through thin field a four-horse al faifa harrow, which I wan prompted to do la or der to thin out nome ol the oats, an I felt nure they were entirely too thick to obtain results. I, however, did not sucee?d In reducing the ntand of oats KO applied thc 60 pounds of soda an a stim ulant. I had no rain of coseuuence on these oats from April 14 until (hey were harvested.

He is the personification of pure Intelligence intelligence which knows how to re strain an ardent temperament, to be::d il to dlscltplne and reason, or allow it full rein as circumstanced dictate. 'To tell the truth, When General Joffre accepted the supreme com mand hts friends were rather ap prehendive. Ha waa HO optimistic BO decided. He was one of the most ardent and ' eager advocates of 're venge.' He has always had the most implicit confidence tn the valor of the French officers and troops.
