ttWM NA7I?NA8. QOS The Intelligencer learned late yesterday afternoon that the Philathea Society of the Presbyterian church had made an arrange ment with the Moore-Wilson Co.'s popular store, by which this socie ty of young ladies would furnish floor-walkers, managers, assistant managers, and clerks for every day of next week's great "National Cotton Goods" movement for the purpose of aiding this great movement along. The Intelligencer is also informed that the " proprietors of Moore-Wilson have graciously agreed to pay this society a certain per cent of the profits derived from ihe sale of all "cotton goods" sold during next week, during this "National Cotton Goods" week in Anderson. * - Several days ago, Mr. Fleisehmann, of Fleisehmann Bros., Mr. Soil Lesser of the Lesser Co., Mr. Rubenstein of the Rubenstein Co., stated to an Intelligencer man that th?y would be very glad indeed to do anything within their power to help in this "National Cotton Goods" movement originated by the daughters and wives of Souih 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 cotton. This is where the great possibilities of this relief measure iomes in ; it is not in the small amount of cotton that any one purchase of cotton goods will do toward the boosting of the priie 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.?B tha people of the South, THEY ARE AIDING A GREAT NUMBER-?F PEOPLE IN ANDERSON COUNTY DIRECTLY. TheFe.are NINETEEN BIG COTTOM MILLS within her bounda ries, whose total investment totals over $17,500,000.00, with a yearly output of S 15,250,000.00; employing over 6,500 people whose yearly wages and salaries amount to almost $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 ?113 NOW ENGAGED. ON EQUITY BUSINESS. . Mrs. J- E.
