Working Together with Mis? Car
lington Herc, Work Will be
Accomplished in Country
Miss Mary Eva Hite, president of

lerson county, an- working on plans
I for thc? advancement i?f their under
j takings i:i tho rural districts Ju tills
? coui'ty. With Miss Hite and Miss
Carlington working i:i conjunction
it is believed that thc already splen
did country behoofs of Anderson will
have reached a higher stage of perfec
tion by th? end of lite present, school
session titan ever before.
School Improvement IMunv
Now that the many rural schools
of tho stat?; are beginning their year's

some of the plans ot the South Caro
Tint school improvement association
This organization stands for tho
tn i ni m um school term pf 7 months, n
local tax in every district, the en
rollment of every child of school age,
the recular attendance of every pupil
at least one teacher to every 50 pupils
modern buildings with modern equip
ment, and hearty co-operation be
tween tlie home and the school.
lt ?B ulong these lines that the
president of the associ?t:, n lu co
operation with the count) superinten
dent of education and tho county or
ganizer, has worked one week in each
of the' following counties-Darlington,

terment of thc country schools- as has

cational exhibit uhde? thc manage
ment of the school improvement HS
Bociation. This display will consist

nee. Anderson and possibly other
counties, together witli a booth fitted
up as a model school room with ideal
equipment. Though this is the first
attempt at nn exhibit of this kind, yet
thore |B every reason to believe thai
lt will prove one of the most Inter
esting features of the fair.
2. CLEAN-UP DAV-"Cleun-up

great factor in the improvement of
educational conditions. Again, this

Wittie Anderson people do not be

neverthelosp they have been aware of
the fact that there'is general business

the following, taken from one of the
country's foremost trades vapors,
with a great deal of pleasure:
"That tho head of a large system!
of cotton mills in this state bad or

full-time operation, waa reported
here on unimpeachable authority to
day. Steadiness of the cloth market
and improvement of trade conditons
.nth South America was described as
tho cause.
' The cloth market during the week
haa shown each day increasing stead
iness, and the demand is better. With
the farmers absolutely refusing to
sell their staple to speculators, which
la shown by receipts closely ap
proaching none, those mills which
hnve continued full or ?ntc-frupted

eally exhausted their etocks of raw
material. With the demand, for man
ufactured cotton goods, practically all
the rpw material at the mille exhaust

mills face the necessity of resuming
operations and of purchasing cotton.
"Upon the consumption by the mills
of this country depondk the relief

rlanuf .acturers In Anderson Coun
ty Elated Over News that one
Cargo Had Arrived .
The best nowa that has reached
he. cotton masufacturero of Ander
ion In a long time is thc item, announ
ng Hie arrival o? the steamer Rotter
am in New York with a cargo of dyt
tufT8. A local representative of a
lg dye concern has received official
otlfication of the arrival of the first
argo exported since the beginning of
he war.
Tho Rotterdam belongs to the Hol
and-AmeMcan line, a neutral com
any. and came from the Netherlands.
1er cargo is not an usually large
ne, but the reason its arrival iu hall
d with delight ia that it furnishes
vjdence that the American mills may
ie supplied with dyestuffs after all,
egardloss of the war.
The question of securing dyes has
teen the most serious problem that
he war has brought to the mill men.
t was feared that the supply would
ie absolutely cut off for an indefinite
lerind, and plans have already been
mule by many in ile.- to turn their
.ttention exclusively to manufactur
g white stuffs until the European
ituation is cleared up. But if dyes
an be shipped through Holland in
teutral bottoms tho iupply in this
oiintry can be kept at least measur
biy adequate and the mill men will
e delivered from revolutionizing their
mire business.
The dye men explr-n that the hope
lessness of manufacturing our own
yes in this country is not due to
ny lack cf chemical knowledge of
echnicai skill but simply to the fact
hat the German dyestuffs are all by
iroducts producer*, as side lines in
be manufacture of other things,
lu eli being Ure case they can bo pre
luded at a very low cost-a cost so
ow that American .manufacturers ot
restaffs exclusively could never hope
o compete with it.
Most.ot the patents of the processes
ave long ago run on. but the Gertosn
nanufacturor? have auch binding
greemtni, whereby one factory fur
lahea what another lack?, that it ia
ext to impossible for any outsider
Bu contest their absolute supremecy
f the market with any hope of flnan
ial success. It might bc done while
he war lasts, but once peace cornea
lie American dye manufacturers
rould find themselves In a hopeless
. 'lon.
