ANDERSON AND COTTON GOODS' MOVEMENT. "Thc National Cotton Goods movement which has struck An derson, and which will bc "sprung" hy thc Anderson merchants Monday of next week, promises to he a "Feature" stunt. And, it should be, too. All over this broad land of ours, the men responded grandly to thc "Buy a Hale" movement, so when Miss Gcncvive Clark, the talented daughter of our distinguished Speaker of the House, started the "National Cotton Goods" movement, the patriotic and loyal women of the United States responded quickly. "Made in the U. S. A." Here is a slogan which the war in Europe has put into the minds of all the people of this country. In 'very city and town the public mind is prepared for any action the retailer1 may take for promoting this Idea, lt is practical as well a? patriotic. Every man and woman and child, too, for that mat ter, likes to think that the United States is equal to any occasion ?vliich may arise; and when it comes right down to thc scratch, she is. too. Shut off as we are from Europe, from whence we have been i customer to get a great deal of our supplies, and where we ship i great portion of our surplus crops, and manufactured articles, we iiave been inconvenienced to quite a degree; and when it comes to ?he cotton crop, of which we have been accustomed to export about NINE MILLION bales each year, the present war stopped the ex hortation of it dead short. This depressed thc cotton market to such an extent that the tapie for a time really had no quoted price on any market; and the situation is still one that makes for an unstable market in raw cot ton. All these things being true, the patriotic and loyal men of this ?ood old United States of ours turned their minds to methods of re !ief. The "Buy a Bale" movement has reached the greatest prosper ty of any yet started, but this "National Cotton Goods" movement started by those several loyal and patriotic women of several South on States bids fair lo eclipse the "Buy a Bale" movement, because (here are so many staple articles in every day use, which are made >f cotton, and which a woman is more than willing to use instead of .onie other texture if she is first convinced that she is scrying a, audible purpose. Yesterday, in conversation with Messrs. Wilson of Moore Wil on Co., Mr. Freishmann of Fleishmann Bros., and Mr. Sol Lesser] ?f the Lesser Co., and Mr. Hubenstein of the Hubensteins, each one. ?f these gentlemen heartily endorsed the idea for Anderson, and! tated that they would decorate their stores, feature "Cotton Goods" ill of next week, and get up extra-special show windows, and do jverything within their power to further this great cause. No doubt, ut that every merchant in Anderson who handles anything in the :otton goods lines, will be very glad to fall in linc with this great novement. Anderson county has enough selfish interest in the manufac tire of thc Cotton Goods to make it well worth while for every man, vornan and child to make an extra effort to buy something made )f cotton during the celebration of this event all during next week. If we people of Anderson county can do anything that will lelp a movement, which has for its purpose the fostering of the nanufacturing of cotton goods just at this time, we should by all .neans do it. Just think of it-there are Nineteen Big Cotton Mills in this :ounty, capitalised for over S-! 7,500,00.0.00; with a yearly output )f manufactured, goods worth over $ 15,000,000.00; employing ?vcr 6,500 people, whose wages and salaries total over $3,000, 100.00. This is well worth while ! The following Associated Press Dispatch received from Wash-' . ngton last night shows the great, interest being taken in this national rotton goods demonstration : Wives or cabinet officers and government officials appeared il cotton woven gowns of the latest modes tonight to give added mpetus to the movement for the relief of the cotton situation in the M)uth by practical demonstration, the varied and hithert- little real zed possibilities of the great Southern staple. The occasion was the -pening of the National Cotton. Style Show. Among those who showed model gowns were Miss Genevieve Zlark, daughter of the Speaker; Mrs. Ben Johnson, of Kentucky; Miss gallie Williams, daughter of the Mississippi senator; Miss Lucy Bur eson, daughter of the postmaster general; Miss Callie Hoke Smith, laughter cf thc Georgia senator; Miss Margaret McChord, daughter )f the Interstate Commerce Commissioner, and Miss Agnes ahack '.eford, daughter of the representative from Missouri. 3 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO G* Inge and mocking, lt lures mon und Q QI women io destruction und recruits r?i n f nj i cj-rc UADn UIT ,?llu' ranks of paupers and criminals.
