The circus has "came and wetit" to the delight and sorrow of the small boy and others larger. "Steal a bale" movement gain ing ground in Chester county, lt is reported that two bales have been, stolen there recently. Doubtless the people of South Carolina will be given an example of ah ideal newspaper when The Commonwealth makes its ap pearaiice. Dreams of elephants and tigers and lions and acting on poles and other wonderful things, doubtless troubled many young minds in their slumbers last night. WEI. BUY A POUND A PAIR. Thc Rcgai Shoe Company of n._r ., . .. ... V^'?V:! ???VUIivv? wini ?i n?i pU?" chase a pound of cotton for every pair of Rf?al shoes purchased from any of their stores during October and November. This means that at ?east 400 bales and possibly 800 bales of the fleecy stable will be purchased by this corripany during these two months. This is but another evi dence of the desire of people with whom the South is doing business to aid the South in this time of fi nancial stress. Of course this will not- take enough of our cotton to raise the price generally, but if all these concerns would evet. do this /welt there would be many thous ands of bales of distress cotton taken, WU- TRAGEDY OF~CIRCUS DAY A YEAR AGO. The presence of the. circus in Anderson ye?terd?" calls tc mind an occurrence that brought great sorrow to the city, and caused the df?atfi of some brave men. It will be recalled that about 10 o'clock the night Barnum & Bailey's cir ttjtfwu* here a year ago, the Todd Auto shop ^jght fire and was burned, to the ground, consuming automobiies, despite Ute heroic efforts of firemen and oth ers. A falling, wall killed two of the heroic firemen, Will Camp bell and Robert Davis, Andrew Jones, colored, and Henry G. Townsend. Mr. TcwnsenJ linger ei many treeks, but finally his no ble, spirit binged its flight to the unknown city, leaving behind a mamefyvwhich will ever be green ??SBSTI a vacancy which never can be f?tfj?. The writer did not know Mr. Townsend but he has heard of Wm? and those who have spoken, though strong men, have done so wltn eyes moist, and voice thank ing with emotion. Such a death is not to die? _ THE WHY'S AND WHEREFORES. We desire to apologize to the renders of The Intelligencer for the smallness <>f the paper for the past few days. This has been on ac count of unexpected chances in our mechanical force which change could not be seen nor forestalled. Then our linotype machine" went bad on us, and we have been trying to do more than could bc done under the Circumstances. However, we have good news in store for those who wish us well. We have new parts on the way from the factory, and an expert machinist is now engaged in put ting our machines in (?rsl class shape. So we hope that after this morning we shall bi.* able to return to the customary size of the pa per and fill it with live news of Anderson, and the world as gathered by that greatest of news gathering agencies-The Associated Press. WILL WEAR COTTON GOODS. Thc following news story sent out from Washington m.der date of the 7th inst., is an indication as to what can be done by the people of the South should t'ney combine to do just what is being done by these ladies. A great number of cotton mills-could thus be made to pay handsomely, when now they are losing propositions: Tonight at the New Willard Motel the '-National Cotton Show" is in full blast, or rallier, ii is in full boom. Young ladies of the cabi net and congressional circles are among those who are doini; all in their power to encourage the wearing of cotton, and to show just how attractive cotton raiment can be made. Several of these young ladies are in attendance upon the show wearing cotton dresses made with their own ha:ids, and thus are showing not only the ability of Amercan-made cotton snoods with propriety, but also they are de monstrating that society women, when the occasion demands it, can be well-dressed in clothes made with their own ellorts. Some time ago Pepresntativc Johnson, of South Carolina, received several handsome dress patterns from President A. H. Calvert, of the Drayton Mills, at Spartanburg, with the request that they be present ed to Miss Genevieve Clark, Miss Callie Hoke Smith, and Miss Lucy liurleson, daughters of thc Speaker, the Senator from Georgia, and the Post Master General, respectively. The presentation was made al the office of the Speaker, the scene being "snapped" by motion picture cameras and newspaper photographers. These young ladies wore these dresses at the cotton show this evening. Several of the leading merchants of Washington are extensively advertising cotton i^nods this week, and one, at least, is offering for sale bales of cotton, in line with the "buy-a-bale" movement of the South. The cotton is not actually handled, but certificates covering the price of the cotton, io cents per pound, warehouse and insurance receipts, are sold to the purchaser at approximately S5o a bale, de pending upon the weight. INGENUITY OF AN ANDERSON i ARMER. Necessity is the mother of invention, and oftentimes the genious mind of a thrifty and intelligent man will devise ways and means for doing things that are decidedly out of the ordinary and act as time savers. The following incident will show that Ander son county is not behind in this matter. J An Anderson County farmer was seen "trailing" out a brand new standard two-horse road scrape and a seed drill. The combination excited a question: "Going to have good roads out your way, eh?" "Well, yes, but that is not the secret, my land requires terracing, and I am going to use that scraper machine to throw up wide feather "bed" ter races. 1 can do more work in two hours with it and two mules ?nan four hands with turn plows can do in a day, and then I am go ing to sow the ground to oats." ELECTRIC TRAIN TO HANDLE SHOW 101 RANCH CCOMING P. & N. ON AN INNOVATION roa?s Wils Kan?le Long {For First Time, an Electric Rail Show Train.

This ls tho first trip of the 101 Ranch through this country. It was born at the Jamestown Exposition, and hoe been en tho road evor since, but in all its career lt has never been lc the Carolinas. It is classed with tho Ringling circus as to size although lt is not the m*ue type of entertainment, tne 101 Ranch being a real wild west lu every sense of the term. lt hss no circus features whatsoever, and thrives on its presentation cf the wild west alone, although a. circus must go to the wild weat for part or its en tertainment. Every old hackneyed wild west act has been eliminated, and- In their places. Joe Miller has placed n a nth r of sf?*?-!.ig o pisodos as they oc cur on the famous 101 Ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma.

WOMAN'S WAY By MARJORIE CLOUGH ? J The ludios of Ringwood, having de cided to establish un orphan asylum, met for the purpose und organized. Then they appointed various commit tees mid adjourned for one week, when they came* together w;alii to hear the reports. AH committees reported favorable results except the committee appointed to rent a house for Hie asy lum. "The only ?dace lnrj-o enough for the purpose," reported Mrs. Imo-'on Brain nrd. chairman of tho committee, "and with grounds such ns we must have ls the Canfield property. It has been va cant for two years, but hs*. Just lK>cn taken by n men's literary Ylub. to be called the Goldsmith. Unfortunately a leas-; was signed by the owner ami by the officers of the club only yesterday." "Perhaps." said mild mannered Miss Blandlng. "if the gentlemen of the club knew that we wanted it for the dear children tiley would" "Hold on to it," Mrs. Jlmber con tinued, "j'ist ns tenaciously us they would if we wanted it for any other purpose. Par lie lt from me to- be come a suppliant to them. I pilfer a heroic method. 1 move that a com mittee bo appointed to KO to them and demand that they givo up the property to us." The motion was carried, and Mrs. Jlmber. Miss Ilutes and Miss Blandlng were appointed ou the committee. Mrs. Jimber being chairman. The throe members of tho Goldsmith club's commlttco on house consisted of Mr. Flint, Mr. Downing and Mr. Fairweather. Mr. Flint was among mou what Mrs. Jlmber was amoru' wo men. When the asylum committee called upon him to give up to thom the Canfield property he replied with an emphatic "No!" Messrs. Downingnnd Fairweather,though sympathizing with him in retaining tho pince for tho"club, could not but feel that Miss Hates and Miss Blandlng, who were comely, look ed upon the refusal as extremely un gallant Mrs. .limber Issued n request that tho members of the club meet, march to tho property In dispute, take possession of lt and hold lt Mr. Flint got wind of the movement and bnrred nil the doors nnd windows. t This made a deadlock for both clubs Tho men know that j If the/ opened tho house the women would take pos session, nnd so long ns lt was locked np lt could not bc used either for a club or an orphan asylum.'"There* was a meeting of tho 'women's committee to tako measures for further proce dure. Mrs. Jlmber was In favor bf pro posing that ?very woman interested in the asylum cut every member of the club. Bier colleagues did not ngrce with her as to the effectiveness of this measure. Then the-chairman suggest ed thnt they uso militant methods, threatening to destroy tlie properly. But It was pointed out to her that the club was not tho owner of it | and might prefer to seo lt ruined rather than bv for Ot-d iir K'tB >t up. Thou I Mrs. Jimtter lost her temper and told ene ot ncr rwo mempeni o? iba com mittee that she would have nothing more to db with the matter. One day Miss Bates heard thnt Mr. Flint had been called away. 8he wrote a note to Mr. Downing stating'that a majority of the asylum committee would bo i il eased to see the club's com mittee that wentng at ber house for the purpose of making a projiosltlon that would, she thought, be satis factory to the men and end the dead lock upon the property tn dispute. Since Mr. Flint was away and Mrs. Jlmber would have nothing more to do with the matter the Interview was between Mr. Downing and Mr. Fair weather on the one part nnd Miss Bates and Miss Blandlng op the other. The two men. both of wbem Wore bachelors, went tothe place of meeting together, each hoping' to parry what was expected to lie'some sharp move on the part of the women and. do lt without wounding their feelings. Miss Bates, by way of smoothing the way, abo sahl proposed a gamo of cards, and before lt was finished a maid brought In refreshments. After that Mr. Downing paired with Miss Bates and Mr. Fairweather with Miss Blandlng. Each gentleman was feel ing very comfortable and very happy when Miss Batch whispered to Miss Blandlng: "I have named ? price at*whtch Mr. Downing will recommend that the club let us have the Cnn Held property. 1 have agreed to gird mm a kiss before both clubs assembled when'we take possession. Ile bus accepted, i Seo If you can get the san*s terms from Mr. Fairweather." Mh>* Blandlng succeeded in Securing the tor. ?s. both men thinking the mat ter a bin.?. As soon ss tba ladles had effected the arrangement they declared the conference ended. The next morning the two commit teemen received 'a-nota addressed to them by their entertainers of the night before stating that they would bo on the steps of the Canfield property the next afternoon ready to keep their contract The men now began to consider 'the poettion they were In.
