C^MCTiJ? NA70OMAL . Cotton Good sa The Intelligencer learned late yesterday afternoon that the hilathea Society of the Presbyterian church had made an arrange ant with the Mr,ore-Wilson Co.'s popular store, by which this so?ie of young ladies would furnish f!oor-walkers, managers, assistant anagers, and clerks for every day of next week's great "National Cotton Goods" movement for the purpose of aiding this great ?ovement along. The Intelligencer is also informed that the 'proprietors of toore-Wilson have graciously agreed to pay this society a certain 'er cent of the profits derived from the sale of all "cotton goods" old during next week, during this "National Cotton Goods" week i Anderson. ** .?* ' Several days ago, Mr. Fleisehmann, of Fleisehmann Bros., Mr. toll Lesser of the Lesser Co., Mr. Rubenstein of the Rubenstein Co., tated to an Intelligencer man that they would be very glad indeed to Ho anything within their power to help in this "National Cotton Goods" movement originated by thc daughters and wives of South ern senators and cabinet officers." At first thought this movement might not strike the casual ob server that it could amount to very much; but if the matter is con sidered very carefully for just a few moments, the great number of the absolute necessities of life will be found made of colton. This is where the great possibilities of this relief measure ?ornes in ; it is not in the small amount of cotton that any one purchase of cotton goods will do toward the boosting of the prue of raw cotton, but in the ag gregate sales of all cotton goods, which will soon be found to toat anam?zing amount of raw cotton; and then the spirit of the people once aroused on this" score, and the knowledge once acquired that there are a great many articles of dress and, other articles in daily use about the house that can be made of cotton instead of, other material will increase the demant for SOUTHERN MADE COTTON GOODS more than any other plan yet devised. Another phase of this "National Cotton Goods" movement is that while the people of Anderson county, in patronizing this movement are aiding.?liha people of the South, THEY ARE AIDING A GREAT NUMBER-OF PEOPLE IN ANDERSON COUNTY DIRECTLY. TheFe.are NINETEEN BIG COTTON MILLS within her bounda ries, whose total investment totals over $17,500,000.00, with a yearly output of ? 15,250,000.00; employing over 6,500 people whose yearly wages and salaries amount to a.ntosi $3,000,000.00. So, let's everybody in Anderson county make it a point to buy something made of Cotton Goods during next week in Anderson. COURT COMPLETED ALL JORY HEARINGS NOW ENGAGED. ON EQUITY BUSINESS.

James Mailor, a native of Trenton, N. J., who served as chap lain for several weeks with one of the British regiments in France and re turned home on the Mauritania. "la a modern battle there ls an over powering sense of unreality," be said. "The business of seeing men kill each ether seems mechanical because of the preponderance of the machine ele ment In the affair; the human element simply bleeds and dies, but the ma chines continue in their perfection ot slaughter. "The conduct ot the English and Irish soldiers In the trenches was sur prising. There those men stood be hind shoulder-high mounds of dirt, fac ing level sprays of death In front, yet cracking Jokes and singing snatches of music hall ballads between volleys. Stupendous bravery, I call lt, or stu pendous absence of nerves. "I've heard men under the crashing fire of the terrible German guns and with comrades dropping sit about them unite in roaring 'It's a long road to Tipperary' as If they were In bar racks. Sometimos I'd hear a big Irish man call out to a neighbor !u the trenches, 'Well, I winged that Dutch man, all rijftt.1 The business ot kill ing, with them, seemed personal and to resemble a sporting event "But how the Germans did pound that British line at Mons! They came on and on and on, never stopping, nev er faltering. It was like the waveu of a blue-gray sea rolling up through the fog. One wave woald breMk and die away, but another woutd be right behind lt, pushing on Inexorably. The German commanders threw their men Into the face of British fire with abso lute recklessness, counting on the sheer weight of numbers ttvoverwhelm us. "To see those German lines move forward through glasses was like watching regiments of toy soldiers pushing acrosB a table. You'd see a long row of pale blue blocks, topped with spiked helmets, bueak from cover and come rushing at you. Then a Brltls.M gun at your elbow would speak, a oneil would fall right la the midst of that blue block, a rrreat burling up of smoke and soil id-the block would be gone! Not ag left but a few little men madly running back through too haze of powder amoks. "But the German shelbi kept coming ,and coming. They are terrible, those : shells! I have seen one shell enter a little hfil and there explode, carry ing away the whole top of the hill. I have seen a company ot British wiped out by the explosion ot s single shell. "Perhaps the night fighting is the most weird and terrible to see. In this the forces of the allies had the superiority, through their preponder ant equipment of aeroplanes. The al lied forces had 35 aeroplanes which were busy day and night, but espe cially at night. "You would hear a whirring of In visible propellers overhead and by straining your ears could trace the direction of the night flyer over the German positions. Gunners stand ready behind their pieces keyed up to a high pitch of efficiency. "Suddenly a spark appears In the heavens ; lt falls. The airman has (dis covered the position of a German bat tery and hui falling torch makes tike range and the position. In??*B*ty the British guns roar agfc?;'shower of shells soars up. tofoMow the une ot that falling -tar."

Oj ooooooooooooo ooo ooo On Tuesday night, September 29, 1914 just as the clock was chiming th? hour of nine, the dark robed an gel of death visited the home of Mr-, 8. L. Hicks and carried away the j spirit of the faithful wife and mother. Mrs. Polly Hicks. Mrs. Hicks had been in declining health for several years, and the shock of her sons death, some two weeks ago caused a light stroke of paralysis, from which she never re covered- She was also a sufferer of Brights dionne. All that medical aid ' and loving hands could do wss -done, ?but nothing could relieve her awful sufferings. To the dear bereaved ones we would say, Do set come to us, but God grant that we make our paths straight as hers and meet her over on the other shore where there ?fill be no sorrows, and suffering. God knows best, He makes no mis takes. He let thts p.oclous flower bud and bloom info a nappy Chris tisa; and when her precious work was ended, He said: "Well done my good and faithful servant, enter thou Into the Joys ot thy Lord." She waa always gentle, kind end true, to her husband, children and home. and friends. Her doors were always open to every one, she always treated everybody alike and no one knew her but to love her. Mrs. Hicks leaves a husband and five children, (one having preceded her to the grave some two weeks ago) one sister and two brothers. The husband is Mr, S. L. Hicks; children are Mesara.
