The Anderson Daily Mall very pertinent ly iv nark.;: Walba 1!.i OUglll Ul be >'?i>- ot I he most noted maori points of the Blue Ridge W alhalla lias an ideal eli- ; mate, nol too high in the mountains, j not too low in tho valley: and thou- j sands ol' pe >ple would go there to spend tb? summer or a few days out ing were Hie a11 rael ions ol Walhalla known and further provided an ade quate and quicker transportation ser vice were given. Anderson ls incidentally and con siderably Interested in the develop ment of Walhalla as a resort, as thousands ol' people would como through this city were Walhalla what she ought lo be from a resort standpoint. And the development of Walhalla means the development of the Anderson country. The highway from Columbia via Walhalla to Lake Toxaway is assur ed. This highway will pass through Anderson, giving two routes from this city to the Oconee county capital. Why should not tho citizens of Walhalla build a real resort hotel? Why not build ail attractive play ground? But what will the Blue Ridge Railway do? Thai after all is i the question. Will the Blue Ridge , run a motor ear service to Walhalla provided Walhalla will put up a re sort hotel? Tho advertising will .come tater. Most of it will come au oomatlcally, as it were. The Daily Mail passes the dual quetsions on. Will Walhalla build the hotel? Will the Blue Ridge Railway put on the motor car service? Will they? The Daily Mail has hit the nail squarely on the head. Walhalla's greatest need to-day is a modern hotel- one calculated to attract and ?tn accommodate comfortably after it : un our i seem ie real'zn Hie groat Importance of a modern ho iel *1 hal will appeal nt once to tue commercial traveler ana the summer and winter tourist. Walhalla is essenllally a resort point, "being sufficiently high up to meet the demands of a large proportion at least of the people who spend the summer away from home. With pro per accommodations our people would be surprised even at the amount of travel that would come .mr way from our near neighbor An derson, many of whose citizens seek annually for accommodations in near-by places, but are unable to se cure them. Walhalla lost a rare opportunity Be vc ral years ago when the proposi tion was made by ibo representative il the Southern Railway develop ment department to put $50,000 Into i modern tourist house here If the citizens of tho town would pul 111 a similar amount. But our people with moue;, wem "afraid" of t he proposition. lt didn't appeal to them becaure they couldn't see five dollars coming back the next day for every dollar put into it. Two things are absolutely certain, and these two things are Hint Wal halla nefds hotel accommodations consistent with present-day demands; and it ls equally certain that we aro not going to get tho hotel until some united effort is made to get it., and until our peoplo who possess means ure willing to pul bark into the town tn which they made it a portion of their money, trusting a little to the future to get it back aram. We have KO| \i bani to look lo the future to rome extent for returns on Invest ments, and to take into consideration mdirert benefits and to count them, for a time at least, into the profil coln um. Squeezing our dollars till the eagles scream is a mighty poor way to f'y to make a noise like progress and success! BK; DAV COI: EA RM ERS. The gathering at Oak way on Fri day of this week ought to attract many fanners from all sections of Oconee. The Farmers' Educational and Co-Opeialive Union has done more, probably, than any one human Influence in bringing the farmer to lis proper position in the country, and bringing tito country at large to the realization that the farmer is one of the biggest business men in the community in which he lives. The farmers' business is the one upon which the success of all other busi nesses depends to the greatest ex tent. Probably the great mass of other business men have been ?jnlfker to realizo this than tho farmer him self, but tho Farmers' Union has brought the individual member at last to the point where he realizes that he, and each of bis brother far mers, is an important unit in a mighty and minified business sys tem. One of tho big features of the meeting ct Oak way day after to-mor row will be the address of President Iv VV. Dubbs, of the Farmers' Union, and we hone thal th?- farmers of Oco IIee generallv. and the TIMMI of other business lines, will i>e there lo hear him, for Mr. Dubbs ls not only presi dent of the State organization of far mers, bul he is a business mau of a high order. This is not a strictly Farmers' Cu ion meeting. The farmers want to have willi them the ftinners who are not member.: of their organization, and they want the business men ol' Ibo county who are engaged in pur suits other (lian that of farming. This is a mighty good sign, and every business man who can do so should attend this meeting. Tue bettor we know each other, tho better it will bu for i lie eon nty. Business men and farmers of Oco nee. lay aside any matter liol de manding imperatively your attention nexl Friday, and be at Oak way. You will be welcome, we are authorized to assure you, and you will bo well re paid for the time and trouble it will take to get there. The Farmers' Union of Oeonee ex tends a most cordial invitation to the business men of all lines to meet with them and consider problems that are to be discussed. Picketts also is taking an interest in the mountain highway. The Sen tinel of last week says: "* * . But as the broken link from Anderson to Basley exists, why should not the towns of Basley and Plckens, and citizens along the line from Basley to Whitewater, take up this matter and build lt from Basley to White water, and there connect with the Watson highway? Think of the im portance and profit such an enter prise would be to Basley and Plck ens and the section through which it would run. Truly we aro not liv ing in a dead age." The more roads the better, and the better the roads the merrier. The whole country ls waking up to the importance of good roads, and when the original cost of their making is over, these good roads will begin at once to demonstrate their economy.

Tho re freshments for the occasion consisted of delicious imnch, cake and cream, and last, hut not least, a number of fine watermelons and canteloupes. The friends of F. .1.

A series of meetings will begin at Fairview to-night. Tim pastor will bo assisted by Rev. N'. (?. Hallenger, of Pendleton. We hope for a real revival. Oakway Xews Items. Oakway. Aug. 18.-Special: The j series of meetings which have been in progress at the Baptist church for the last week will continue through part of this week. Kev. Payseur, the pastor, has been preaching some deep, spiritual sermons, and the peo ple appreciate tho good work that he is doing in their midst. Much inter est has been manifested in the meet ing. Met bel has never had such large congregations as now. Many have to stay in the yard, as the seat ing capacity of the church is all taken up unite early in the evening. John Durham, of Westminster, has charge ol' the music. Much good mu sic is enjoyed by all. Mrs. D. 1. M ullcey has also contributed much to tlie music by lier s wee I soios. Quite a number of the Westminster church going people have been worshiping at Bethel during the meeting. We are always glad to have them with UH. Tim Zachary Kennion. The annual reunion of the Zach ary family will bo held this year at Cashier's Valley. X. C., on the last Saturday in August (the 30th). It is the earnest desire of those in charge of arrangements that all branches of the family shall be rep resented as fully as possible. These reunions have proved the source of much pleasure to many In tho past, and this year there will be a number of tho connection from distant points to attend. Suffered Ci venia ISO Years--Now Well Seems a long time to endure the awful burning, itching, smarting, skin-disease known as "tetter"-an other name for eczema. Seems good to realize, also, that Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment has proven a per fect cure. Mrs. D. L. Kenney writes: "I cannot sufTllcently express my thanks to you for your Dr. Hobson's Rczema Ointment. It has cured my tetter, which has troubled me for over fifty years."

Aug. 16. Heavy showers last night and early to-day relieved conditions In parts of the heat and drought-stricken re gions of Missouri, Kansas and Okla homa, luit tho rains were far from general and in most instances Inade quate. Where wells and streams arc dry a heavy precipitation is regarded necessary to replace the exhausted water supply. Temperatures that for 12 days have hovered about the 100-mark fell to-day in Southern Kansas and Nort Inin Okalhoma because of show ers and clouds, but, according to the United states weather bureau here, there were evidences of a 13th day ol extreme heal generally over Missouri. Kansas and Oklahoma. Arkansas City, Ark., reported heavy rain falling this morning over a wide section of Southern Kansas. The temperature at Arkansas City was ir? degrees below yesterday's. Hutchinson. Kan.. reported rain amounting to nearly an inch. .North-, ern Oklahoma has attained great re- ! lief through .-howers that began yes terday afternoon and continued to day. Light showers fell in '.his city ye tel day. Tin? principal benefit fur nished was the cooling of the atmos phere and burning pavements. Hun dreds of children, and in many In stances their parents, rushed into the streets ami stood in the rain. Drought in Northern ?md Eastern Kansas and most of Missouri con tinues unabated. Springfield, Mo., which has had less than half its nor mal rainfall since April 1, faced a possibility of a failure of its water supply. City authorities sought to find wells pr springs to which they might lay emergency pipes to provide a fire simply. In Springfield all churches, by agreement, prayers for rain will bo offered this afternoon. in Southeastern Kansas and South western Missouri many mining towns are suffering for want of wa ter. Pittsburg, Kan., and Joplin. Mo., are supplying many of these points with water shipped in tank trains. St. Joseph, Mo., reported increas ing damage from drought. Fruit growers of that district who had ex pected a heavy crop of apples, say the apples now are dropping from the trees Immature and that the late crop may be a total loss. Topeka suffered the 12th hot night, during which tho minimum temperature has exceeded 75. A trainload of water is being sent from Topeka every day to supply the railway shops in Horton, Kan. Wichita, Kan., reported showers this morning after an oppressively hot night. Hand-picked catfish are being en joyed by persons in eastern Jackson county, Kansas, as a by-product of the drought.

Threshing crews were unable to work in the day time since Wednesday on ac count of the Intense heat, so men and teams slept during tho day, and early last evening when the moon came out brightly, and a cooling breeze swept over the farms, the forces resumed work and continued throughout the night.
