A NEW MONEY CHOP Tho Anderson county exhibit pre pared by Mr. Ilya rs for thc stato fair is mude up of a linc display of homo products, but on looking lt over yes terday there wna^one new feature that attracted our attention nt once because lt was new and because ac tual experiment lian shown it to bc a money maker of fino possibilities. Tills ls au African sugur cane, whose technical, nanto we have forgot ten, and atflcaftfone tuan In this sec Mon lias grown it with splendid re sults. Just across thc county line at Level Land, in Abbeville county, Air. J. W. Suttios, a progressive farmer und a man of new ideas, planted some of tills cane this year, und the sample of his syrup that we were privileged to tasto is not surpassed even by pure maple ayrup. This cane ls a real sugar cune, somewhat chol lar to the Louisiana sugar cane, but different from it In that it will grow successfully In this climate while tho cane of our coast regions ls somewhat scmi-tropicul and will not do well here. It ls raised from seed and not from planting tho Htnlks in the ground, a fact that makes lt easier to cuKlvatc and less expensive to handle lu tho planting season. As this variety of cane comes from Africa, one might Infer that it will make only black molnsBCo, but the syrup ls of a light color Uko honey, and it ia In much demand where it has been put on the market. It has been recently introduced in tho Unit ed States, but ls little known by far mers who could cultivate it to advan tage. Wo havo heard of one planter In tho Mississippi valley who has an order for tveivn thousand gallons of this syrup ut *.txty-fivo cents a gallon, and ho in not ablo to amply tho de mand. Northern hotels, restaurants, and even the exclusive Pullman ser vice are making a specialty of it, and many of their customers esteem it more highly than maple syrup. Mr. Dyaro will help Introduce this now crop In Anderson next year. Ho knows Its value, how far superior lt ls to tho ordinary sorghum, and how much larger tho yield's per nero over tho orango and other -varieties of cane that our farmers have been relying upon for BO many year?. We aro not employed by Mr. jSuttleB to advertise his business, but wo are generous enough to give him a free lift by suggesting that, if you are in doubt about what wo say, order a can of tho. syrup. ?frpm. .hjm and soe what a revelation lt. will bo toiyou.

Tliis boy's success appealed to the Imagination of tho whole coun try, and the work of the boys' corn clubs and other similar organizations received a mighty impetus. It has been figured that in the after resulta following Jerry Moore's record crop, he was worth In actual dollars to his state about sixty dollars a minute. We don't know how much his ex ample is worth at present, but we do know that it ls worth a great deal ?ud that Ha value tc other boy?? mid young men will last for generations. Jerry Moore has been called "the greatest human advertisement" ?South Carolina ever had, and there is no doubt that this is true. There lu un Individuality about Buccess when lt ls linked with one person that stirs peo ple to action, and when tho wonderful thing that l^ done has been achieved by a mero boy or by a slip of a girl men everywhere get enthusiastic and throw up their hats in pruisc of it. It appeals to thc imaglnution of mon. and that ls one very great reason it tho ".'ampin ir, always remem bered and bears such good fruit. No advertisement attracts more at tention than a human advertisement, and we would like t.o BOO more un usual successes accomplished by tho boys and girls especially, because what Uioy do so creditably inspires and encourages tho world to do bet tor. TIIK Ll-iJKY MANUFACTURER The immense demand for motor cara and trucks by tho powers nt war has proven a windfall for tho manu facturing concoma mnkiug automo biles. 'Before tho war broko out, there wcro signs among many of tho home manufacturers that their business was about to ontor on a declino, which would doubtless have brought a re duction In tho prices of cars gener ally to the benefit of the mau of mod erate means: After tho war is over, the foreign demand will be cut off BO far os war purposes ore concerned, and lt may bo that tho long sought fall in prices will then take place. The automobile maker, however, has played in luck over slnco tho automobile was dovol uped into a successful means of travel. The number of machines bought has continued to bo large, and just when a falling off in Bales was threatened a lucky streak-If tho war can be called such-turned up to help the maker. When peace ls declared, we are go ing to urge that the treaties contain a provision for cheap automobiles. Wo don't wont anything further tai hap pen to keep prices on a level fat above our pocket-book. But, just as likely au not, when wo have assembled our wary COIOB for the purpopse ol buying a cheap car, automobiles will be out of date and it will bo fash ionable to ride only In flying ma chines. > THE UNCO' GUID" Robert 'Burns waa a protty gooc* judge ot human nature.

Mayor ?odiroy yesterday wired Darnum and Bailey's circus, showing in Augusta, Ga., to send a special man here today to look over the street situation in order to select the best possible route to - the show grounds on River street. The circus comes to Anderson tomorrow from Columbia and arrangements have bone mude to have tho largo tents pitched, near the old park, but. the main question now is how will the heavy, wagons get there from tho depot In answor to Mr. Godfrey's telogram ho received ?a, message stating that a 'Bpcclpl ir.an was bolng sent and that ho would be. In thc city this morning. As is well known. River street la, torn up because of tho paving and. tho heavy ralnB of the past few nays have played havoc with tho other streets leading in the direction.of tho proposed circus grounds. Yesterday afternoon City Engineer Sanders had wagons and hands busy hauling rock on East. Market street trying to put it in shane. Elizabeth street, which would have to be used is also in bad shape and ditches have been made by the necessity of extending the water mains. .. . _ Other routes have been suggested but it ls useless;f?''go over these since tho matter will be definitely ar ranged this morning. Some seem to think that it would bo better for the tents to bo pitched on vacant lots in the northern part of the city, known as tito Robores party. This could be reached by using-'North' Fant stree! and lt ls vory probable: that' this Site will bo selected, . ?..
