1 The men wounded are Cornelius

Shelby, Ohio. Bozenkc'rk was shot
through the stomach and physicians
said that his recovery was doubtful.
I After Seltzer had been taken to tho
hospital it developed that his condi

dicated-and he Is expected to recover.
I The robbers entered the parlor car
of the train at Milwaukee Junction,
I within the city limits. . Both Imme
diately began firing revolvers and the
passengers were ordered to hold up
! their handy.. Ono bandit reached in aj
linen chest, grabbed a pillow slip and
Into this the pussengero were ordered
to drop their valuable:;. As one of

It had originally been planned.
The idea of holding such an exhibit
came through., -the chamber of..com
merce. Trades Day. as conducted by
the trades, day-extension committee of
the Anderson chamber-of commerce, Is
usually held, on the second Tuesday
of each month and when the date, for
the August meeting began, to approach
it was determined to substitute the
livestock exhibit. .Plans were put on
foot but it was found that they could
not bo matured in time for the August
meeting and- it was then.determined
that the exhibit would.be.htld on the
date of tho-Septorrber " trades day,
combining both -August and Septem

COTTON SEED SHIPPED TO
SOUTH AFRICA I
FIRST SHIPMENT
For First Time In History of the
State, Cotton Seed Will Go
To Foreign Country
(From .Sunday's Dully.)
The iiibt order ever received lu Au-1
dorsoi, or In South Carolina for that1
mutter, for good from South Africa,
reached this city yesterday in the
shape of an order for some Anderson
Io*i~ staple cotton seed. How the
people in the fur-away country everi
heard of the Anderson vuriety is a
que:-:ion hard to determine but cer
tain it is that Farlnan Smith, the An-,
demon see dm an, received an order
which requested that a certain kind'
of seed raised hy an Anderson man he
snipped at the earliest possible mo
ment. The order went on to say that
the seed had been heard of In South
Africa in a most complimentary man
ner and that die owners of cotton in
that country were anxious to try them
out
Mr. Smith has alreadv secured the
variety ordered and Lays that he will
have them pucked and ready for ship
ment by Monday morning. The ship
ment will be made from this city to
New Orleans and t'isence to South
[Africa. Not only wac the order the'
first ever received from a foreign i
country, but it was one of the largest]
orders ever received here from any
point for cotton reed.
One of the farmers' living near here
suld yesterday a' tho chamber of com
merce that he once lived in German
East Africa, near the Belgium Congo
where he raised cotton under the Gor
man bounty system. For overy
pound of cotton raised In German
East Africa, the German government
pays a bounty to the fanner of three
cents per pound. This Is done in an I
effort to .increase the cotton raislLg
industry in South Africa nut the An
derson farmer says that he would
rather raltv cotton In Anderson coun
ty without a bounty thun to raise
thousands of pounds in East Africa
with a considerably larger hopnty
than is paid, lie says that labor is
hard to get in that country and that
farmers there'are worth hbthlng.from
the cotton e'tnhdpoi'nt when .they cun
lie hired. ''

A letters was received in Anderson
yesterday from J. \V.- Itothrqck, the

W. A. Thomas, assistant entomolo

advise the farmers of your county not

PRINCIPAL CITIES
HAVE PLAN OUTLINED
WATSON WRITES TO DIFFER
ENT CITIES
GRAIN ELEVATORS
Commissioner of Agriculture
Makes Suggestion as To How
To Remedy Situation ,
(From Sunday's Daily.)
The three principal cities ot the
state, Charleston, Columbia and An
derson, were chosen by Commissioner
of Agriculture E. J. Watson for the
carrying out of a plan which he has
in mind. In order to help stem the
tide that is sweeping South Carolina
and the cotton market in general, be
cause of the European war, E. J. Wat
son has written letters to the Colum
bia, Charleston and Anderson cham
bers of commerce in an effort to get
them interested In projecting a com
pany tor the purpose of building and
operating grain elevators in this
stut<.
The benefit from this on the surface
will be twofold, it Is argued. The
establishment of a grain crop will
bring in money to tho state at the
lime of the year when renumerutlon'
from cotton Is ?low, and also It will
enable the people of the state to get
their grniu products at first hand in.
btead of sending to tho middle'--went.
Another reuson for immediate 'consid
eration of such a stop, ah Commis
sioner W?taon points out In his let
ter, la that the state has got to carry
over until next year the bumper cot
ton crop of this your.
In his letter to Anderson, Mr. Wat
son says In part: "What we have to
do in to plant u grain crop now and
get it off, and then throw the same
acreage Intp corn, and there your
j elevator will come In again. I hnvo
before mo tcday the figures from one
'. farmer this year who planted his
large plantation entirely*ln oats, and
has reaped a harvest of $50 per acre
from that crop. He then planted the
same acreage in corn, and ban reaped
a harvest of $45 per acre from the
corn! He writes to me that the
egst of the production of both crops
, did not exceed $10 per acre. This was
'done before.the.wur broke out.
I "I am therefore taking the'liberty
[ of suggesting to you that you call'a
, mooting of .your business men at onrio,
launch this enterprise, which cdnn^t
cost -much in the way of permanent
investment"and announce to 'Ih?' VlV?
ule-.vf ; tboV'Ti-idrhcnt^
' Anderen, Is jgoiug to,b'ji'y? a,grft|f?,7ej
cy?toi; through -which they can .lnorkot
their grain products at best prices.
If this can be done right now, und xi
po:J'tve announcement bo nuuU\ I
I bojiove that practically every fluid In
: the Piedmont -will be devoted to grain
I crops. If this is dono we ought to
t hnvo a money crop bringing tho money
to us by spring, and converting hope
1 lossness info happiness. A grain crop
proporiy handled in the south, t "be.
ijieve,. will bring more money in re
i turn. If planted just as soon as the
fields can bo cleared and made ready,
I even without fertilizer, than 'cotton
over did on tbsr same acreage,
j "1 would Impress' upon you the ne
cessity for (nilck action and a definite
, announcement, so that 'tho farmers
or the .state can understand how their
marketing will bo conducted with,
lirai ai. for grain is something thsy
have noyer dealt' with for tho market
hcrorc. If this, be done they will feel
sum that marketing fncllltias will hi?
available, and 'they will unhesftstlnglt
j proceed, to . do jthnft which ,.-is nowr
I he only sensible thing that they can
do in their hour of distress." ?
