"The Commonwealth" is rather
a striking name for a now news
paper. But it's not Aull in a name.
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

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

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."

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

THE MAN HE KILLED.
Had he and I but met
By some oki ancient inn.
We should nave set us down to
wet
Right many a nipperkin.
But ranged n? Infantry
And staring face to face,
I shot at him, as he at me.
And killed bim in his place,
1 shot him dead because
Because ho was my foe.
Just so; my foe, of course, he
was;
That s clear enough, although
Be thought he'd 'list perhaps.
Offhand like-just aa I
Was out of work-had sold his
traps
No other reason why.
Tea; quaint and curious war isl
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat if met where any

Or help to half a crown.

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. Vt the women
had the hardihood to race two clubs,
vn such a COMO of graft thft.roen had
not They drew up a sfdte?t**t giving
the best of roa sons why thc Goldsmith
dub she a ld esstgu their Icsse of Ute
property in question to the asylum
?Managers. Their tstcemmevdatlon waa
accepted.
