FIRST CHAI NOW IN Fl FARMERS RALLYING FOR , THE GREAT MEET NOW ON AT WILLIAMSTON MR. SUMNERS SPOKE1 ; Fine Exhibits, Big Crowds, Able ! Addresses AU Combining to 1 Make Event a Success I Special to The Intelligencer. Wlliamstoii, August 5.?Welcomed , on every huml with a cordiality pecu- , liar to WllllamBton people, the An derson county farmers gathered in that historic and picturesque little ] city Wednesday enjoyed one of the ( most interesting and instructive days that they have ever participated In. ' Not one minute paced during the day ; without Home feature taking place , which resulted In some knowledge . gained by the farmers in attendance. The first day of the chautaqua was filled with ho many features that it Is difficult to describe them all. The presence of elaborate and instructive , displays of pure foods as furnished by the state department of agriculture, the exhibit of the Southern railway, , the exhibit of the Itnernational Har vester Co., and several other exhibits, coupled with the splendid addresses and the music by the First Regiment Hand made the first day of the affair even more successful than its pro moters had dared promise. At an early hour yesterday morn ing the visitors began to arrive in the city and almost without exception the first place to be visited was the exhi bit of tho Southern railway farm im- , provement department, and the pure food exhibit us furnished by the state. These two exhibits are locatel , In the Colonial Inn Hotel and the nu merous bottles and g?a?? c?bcd, w?L?i ths back ground o* blue and the wbiie palmetto made a pretty appearance. One of the most interesting exhibits located at tills place If :'rom Anderson county?the prize winning oats rasled by Wade Drake. Experts from the , agricuturol department nnd from the Southern railway are in charge and . explain the interesting things to the visitors. The Band. One of the features of yesterday's - program was the music rendered by tho Kirnt Regiment Band of Wllliam ston. The band is composed of a set of talented musicians and with S. B. Prultt as director, this band makes 1 music of which any city mighty be proud. Selections were rendered at frequent intervals throughout the day. r Form Implements. The farm Implement display, as fur- I nished by the International Harvester Company from one of the ?ullivan hardware stores, was one of the most interesting of the exhibits to be found on the groundB. This exhibit is in charge of E. 8. Pleasants and con sists of an International motor truck, corn mill and kerosene engine, a disc harrow, o smoothing harrow, a com bination uorn, cotton and fertilizer planter, a grain drill and a stalk cut ter. Mr. Pleasants baa the machinery put Into operation and explains its workings to the numbers of interested farmers. The Speaker. Hon. Asbury F. Lever, a member of congress from South Carolina, bad consented to deliver the address at the chautaunua, biit owing ^tc the fact that he was too ill to be present 1 he secured Hon. Hat ton W. Stunners, j congressman at large from the state I of Texas. Mr. Sumners has been making his campaign in Texas for re election and won out over two oppo nents in the first race with a majority of 12,500 votes. The first time that he was elected as congressman from Texas he defeated 42 opponents. Mr. Sumners, 1b lmost a South Carolina mari, his parents having come from this state and therefore his address was awaited with more than ordinary interest. The Address. The first part of the program was taken up yesterday at 11:30 o'clock when the large audience gathered in the spacious dancing pavllllon. - J. C. Due worth, president of the chamber of commerce of Wllllamston, made a fevj Introductory remarks, following which he turned over his duties as chairman of the meeting to R. E. Grn bel of Charlotte, assistant manager of the Department of Farm Improvement Work of the Southern Railway. Mr. flrabel made a few remarks in which he urged that every man bring his neighbor along for the second day of the cbautauqua and then he Introduc ed the speaker, Hatton W. Sumners, at Dallas. Texas. Mr. Sumners made ane of the best, addresses than any man lb the hall ever heard.' It was not an oratorical flight or anything tpproaching that, but rather a plain heart-to-heart talk of one man to an jther ^ml,?f, a man Interested in the trials and problems of the farmer. ' Town and Connry. . The first question tatvn up by Mr. Sumners was that of the relation be tween town and country. He deplored ihe state of affaira now existing in tome sections and said that when a closer understanding Is reached be tween the two s cet ions, then ?long ilep forward will be taken in solving :ha economic problems of the entire south. He said that It was a pleasure for htm to do what ho might In help ing the. farmer' because the man who Is unwilling to render service to the :lass of people from which he cwr.c is unworthy to hold office. He deplor Ml the fact that some politicians had iuocceded in arraying, class against ;los* and town against country and JTAUGUA JLL SWING worried hla hearers to beware of these nen. A Great ('hange. Mr. Simmers said that he could re member the tlmo when every conunu r.ity in the south was self-sufficient when they produced all they used and! used all they produced, hut pointed to [he fact that necessity for a change1 then i unie and with it an Industrial revolution. He recited te events leud ing up 10 the coming of the cotton mill nul then showed that a great neces sity has now arisen for this country having a surplus and ashed where the surplus is to come from. He said that the farmer 1b to the town just what the root is to the tree and emphasized the fact that even though people liv ing in the cities and politicians living tin-re. care nothing , at all about the country, if they care for the lawyer, the preacher, the doctor, making his home in the city, they must help the man in the country in ordor that the city may prosper. The speaker said that one thing wrong with the country now is that the farmers have.listened to too much hot air. They have let politicians come among them and tell them what a friend they are to the poor, working people. Have let these self-same politicians make the Ameri can eagle screech in a frenzy and wave his wings on hlg until the far ur has ben deluded and has helped to put men in offices of public trust who will lose no sleep over the troubles of the farmers. "Quit Lying." 'he speaker advised all his hearers that one way to better conditions was for them to "quit lying to each other, to meet each other .hair-way, to quit arraying class against class, and to unite in the one common cause." The speaker told his audience that "when i he politician comes ont from town and tells you that all the people in the towns and cities are liars and thieves, tnstend of -riding him or. your ! should er? as you have been doing, ride { hint out of the community on a good, stout rail, because the man. who will lie to you for your rote; will sell you out to the other fellow for his money." Touching on the subject of the buy ers of cotton making their price for 11 the merchandise they have to sell and then making the price on the farmers cotton as well, Mr. Beniners Bald that If the southern men' did not have any more sense than to accept such condi tions, the Yankee financiers should not bo blamed for taking the advan tage, because it belongs to him if he Is shrewd enough to get it, The speak er said that he honored the memory r>f Jefferson but that the logic of Jef ferson':-, day was not the thing tor this age and that the people of the scuta must nwake to. \his fact.- ' Ke said ' that .the southern farmers' Inter ests are the Interests, of all civilisa ilon r.nd that .the industrial iadepen den ce of the south will never be gain ed so long as the south continues to let ihe other fellow name the price for th? farmers' commodities. The speaker said that it was high timo the touih is awakening to the fact that the more, cotton they raise the less they will get for it. He pre dicts that the world {9 sooo to wake up b01110 morning and find that there Is nothing to eaT. and then instead of faclup lb* "high cost of living" it will bu a caillou of trying to find enough rood to sustain life tor the people in this county. He pointed to the fact that many people are leaving the farms for tie cities and said that the "hueir i.j *! e farm" ^cvemsst is all a farce, because to keep .the farmer on the far n. 3 ou will have to pay him is much as ,<e can earn elsewhere. Degenerates. He toht of a trip to London, where Ue saw s.fii a striking contrast be tween the people of,the country and the people of the city. He said that the people of London;, in part seemed to. bo mental, moral and phyaiclal de generates and said that at the rate people are now movtng from the farm to the city in this country, the United States will soon bo as bod. Mr. Stunners says that, he has a plan by which a bureau of marketing will be established in connection with Lho department of agriculture of the United States and this bureau will be forced to aid the farmer in his un iQual battle. It will be the duty of .h|s department to assemble the loose ,.itces of the marketing machinery of he south, assemble . them and make jf the collection a finished product which will give the farmer a chance <> get a decent price for. his products. Enormous Lesses. He pointed to the, wonderful losses his country bos experienced In the reducing of cattle, lambs, hogs and >tber products during; the past 10 rears and urged his audience to appro bate the gravity of the situation. He laid that his advice' to the farmers vas to stand up like a man. to face md-trade with the rest of the world m the system of equal rights and *usl privileges, to~t&?ir :*q=s? >ut of the cotton fields and'into the torn es ?h?re they belong and when 'all comes "let the country kid an swer to the call of .'the boll <h the itUc red school house on the top ?f till and give him a fair chance as veil." Mr. Sumnerp closed midst a term of applause and he -, wr<* con trat u I at. d on every hand.

WAR LIKE RUSSIANS WILL LEAVE ANDERSON rVILLIAMSTON QUARRYMEN ANXIOUS TO GO READY TO FIGHT Say That They Will Wage Battle! For Their Beloved Country When Chance Comes (From Thursday's Dally.) While Anderson and Anderson coun y have been much agitated over the var which has suddenly darkened all Europe, few people living In this sec ion have taken time to think of what nust be the emotions of the laborerc rom the foreign fields now employed n this country. It is said thai the Vmerieans across the water are more :han uuxious to get home and yet 1 it. le .thought has been given to the peo ple living here, who are originally from some of the countries now In the Didst of what promises to be the worst wur the world ever knew. A reporter for The Intelligence! journeyed to Wllliamston yesterday nornlng and went down into the (mai ries of the Williamston Stone com pany, where about 50 Russians uro us jally employed. A larger number of 'orelgners than thin will usually be round at Wllliamston but the Servians, lome eight or ten In number, left WU liumr.ton for their beloved "old coun. try" when the first rumblings of war were heard. . Later some of the Rus sians left and yesterday only about 10 Russians were to bo found. One of these was culled out of the quarry by ihe reporter and the purpose of the fielt stated. The mm giving out the Interview was a handsome fellow and Iiis look of suspicion Instantly chang ed when the word "fight" waa men tioned. His face flushed, his eyes sparkled and throwing, up hip. hands tie aald,"Flght?for my beloved F.<usBta I gludly give my life. At.the first cal? I will return and I will not lay down my gun until the breath leaves my body or until the heel of the Invader lias been driven from our land." His words .were hard to understand; he :ould only, sp?ak broken English, but it was clearly evident that he was a nan of education and of some refine ment. After considerable coaxing he agreed to talkjand for an hoi;, the re porter heard strange tales, all found ed on the Russian's viewpoint of war. tie evidently agreed that war would bo noil, If some of the things are prac ticed by the Russian troops as he told them. He was a soldier in the m?t*. ?lan forces during the Jan-Rosso., war ?nd ho exhibited with pride a seep 3car on his left arm. said to be * . wound he received from tha bayonet 3f an enemy during a hand, to-hand ight. He- told Borne wondrous talon what Fuss!a waa able to accomplish luring the war with Japan and said that the native land' would have been i victor, had they been able to hold jut for a few more months. He pre llcts that the forces of Russia will nake a name for themselves in the .var now In progress that will surpass Anything ever accomplished in any war by the troops of any country. The soldier , (and he looked the part when ho began to talk or the war, tor setting the quarry and. all ' around ilm)' said that he and those Russians )mployed with him would be. In'their >wn country to take up arum for Rus lia ana nghi for her until death, just is soon ar some method of getting jack could be devised. ' Tha reporter left-the auarry with a far higher opinion of Russia and her people and of that country's Ideals ban he had ever had before. - PALMETTO STATE WILL PLANS IN THE MAKING FOR EXPOSITION ANDERSON'S PART Moving Picture Film* of the Com merce and Industry of Thi* County To Be Snown (From Thursday's Dally.)
