Our people are naturally peaaiinlatlu about their crops anil Ulla war emergency baa put every thing 1? a fog of "Hie bitte?." Tho Kreat trouble in the South Is the unex- j pei tednesH of this new trouble whieh | In Us titanic proportions and stupen dous sweep has dazed the most daring tinancier of America, caught In their uiiprepnrediiesH. The Augusta Chronicle carries an interesting statement from Conyers Woolsey, "one of tlie most progressive planters of Alken county," who has Just returned from Europe. He sailed from England on the 2t>th of August. In England he states, buslnesa conditions are not ns much disturbed, although Great Britain is at war, as they are in the South ern part of thin country. The mills and factories are still in op eration, ami. except for increased prices of food products and some excitement, one would hardly re alize that Croat Britain was lock ed In the tremendous war with the allies against Germany and Aus tria-Hungary. It seems to us that now la the time for the United Stutes. Let the wet 1th of the North back up our cotton mills, let the cotton mills back up tho farm er; aud after this crisis is passed, the whole country will be richer nnd stronger. Hut Just as surely as the North, through any idea of injuring President Wilson, bo indifferent to the South in this crisis, Just so surely will the country as a whole suffer from such a short-sighted policy. The South may be givon a Bet back that will require 20 years to overcome, or the South may mako greater strldeo in the next two years than she has in tho last generation, as great as have been the achievements within that time. HAVE YOU BOUGHT A BALE I Members of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce as indi viduals have approved tho plan to start a campaign here for each person who can afford it to buy a bale of cotton at the rate of 10 cents per pound. The proposition has not been formally worked out, we understand, but will be at once, and the Idea is to have a certain number of bales agreed upon as this city's quota, and no one* will be required to live up to the agreement unlesB the entire number of bales to be bought it! Blgned up. However, some of tho business men have gone ahead buying the cotton on this basis. B. O. Evans & Co., yes terday bought and stored two bales pf coiton. A gentleman from Columbia, who was here last night stated that the movement had started with a rush there and that many bales of cotton are standing around In the store doors. < What is called a "Buy a Bale" move ment has been inaugurated in differ ent sections of tho south and is spread ing rapidly. According to the plan in dividuals and business houses buy a bale or more of cotton at ten cents per pound and store it for higher prices. I Only one bale 1b bought from each person so that the benefits will be divided between a large number. The officers and employes of banks are taking a leading part In the movement, twenty seven oiheers and employes of the National Loan and Exchange Bank of Columbia, each buying a bale on tho streets of Columbia yesterday. Thous ands of bales are being bought In this way in Georgia. Every bale helps. THE HELTON BOOSTERS We understand that there is to bo qulto an Invasion of Anderson today? a party of live follows boosting the approaching fair at Belton. Just why the Belton fair requires "boost ing" we do net know, for all who have attended the fairs given in our hust ling neighbor town know that they have always come up to to and exceed ed representations of the press agents. Belton is ideally located for a big fair and the exhibits each yoar are o5 the very best and are representative of tho finest things that the soil of Ander son produces. The woman's depart ment is also a great success every time. We feel sure that the Belton fair will be better than ever this year, and that the people who gather there wi>, be In good humor, despite the manner In which the people ok Europe are fly ing at each other's throats and inciden tally putting down the price of cotton here., When the "boosters" arrive today we trust that .the people of Anderson will come to their doors and give a rousing reception to our wide-awake, progressive and sensible neighbors. This fair la kept up by annual sub scription and has no .-venue. Anderson County Far Wise Will Not be C Sam Wilson or Brushy Crock, who Is here for court week in a farmer of extensive Interests. There are per haps as many as a thousand persons dependent upon him. directly and Indi rectly, on his farms. Mr. Wilson says the war is not bothering him or his neighbori!. He produces all of the meat and bread that lie needs and re quires his renters to do the same. He is one of the most successful far mers in the whole country, und he believes in making the soil yield ev erything to supply the wants of man. and the surplus is for profit only. Mr. Wilson patronizes the roller mill at Easluy and has n loi of flour ground. S. It. Tims of Piorcotown wus a visi tor to the city yesterday and he had an announcement of great interest. He is overhauling the old TIiub mill on Six and Twenty and will be prepared to turn out a barrel and a half of flour per hour. This farm has" been tn the possession of the Tims family tor 110 years, or to be exact, since the first of the family came to Pierce town and located on Six and Twenty In 1780. , "Sam" TimB, as his name indicates, is of Irish descent and he is Iris,, through and through. Ho loves his joke und he loves the open life, but he is a good business man. He raises hogs, cattle, wheat, corn and a little bit of cotton. Ho states that while neighbors plant too much cotton, he thinks, yet there Ib a lot of wheat planted, and ho wishes to see them plant Just about ten times as much next year. He thinks that no man in his section of the country ought to buy anythihg to put on the table. Coffee and sugar are all that he has to buy. "Sam TimB' graham flour" has quite a reputation in Anderson county and is highly recommended by some doctors. He has a process of re-grind ing it. The mill begun operations on the lOih of August, 1854, 60 years ago, and has turned out many a barrel of THE DEBTOBS'S DEBTS As was stated some time ago, the banking houses of tho city are ready, ns they alvays have been, to holp ths depressed, and will carry over for another year 60 per cent of the paper in their vaults, provided some way is ; made to retire 40 por cent. I With two and one half millions of dollars of assets in our fields, at preft 1 ent rate of computation, it does seem that some way could be started to take care of the poorer people and to put some money into circulation. Debts cannot be paid unless there is Bome money In circulation. Credit is good in the south, but there is ver?, little money in actual circulation. This is due to the IndefiniteneBS of the future rather than to any actual ap prehension. We have received a letter asking thot rhote who hold mortgages and past duo scrips of indebtedness with hold the foreclosure and give the deb tor ah opportunity. We feel that such an appeal is absolutely unnecessary. What the banking housoB of the city arc working for Is the prosperity and happiness of all- the people, and not merely to get all of the money out of debtors. However, something is due to the bank which has to borrow the money and we quotq as interesting at tlds ''me the following sentence from this lutter: "The debtor is bound by honor and gratitude to pay his past-due debts, or as much of It as possible. "There comes times to the money lender when he is eywpelled to bavo money. His family inu.it live and the ec&i of living touches him as baru as it does other people. "In short, the sp!r:t of the t inu b should be a d??t>-e to help one an other. The man who presses his neighbor at a time like this will rue it in the daya to come, and tlu ualnpr who withholds payment when he la able to pay, will find that he has Injur ed hlmBcif more than he haa his cred itor." WILL 'CSE SUBSTITUTE * 1'lan frojeried to Use Cotton Bagging Instead of Importing Jnte. (By Associated Press.) Atlanta,.Qa., Sept, 9.?The substitu tion of cotton for jute bagging..to pro vide, for the consumption of-one mil lion bales, was the plan outlined here today at the conference of j business mou from several. southern states, The statement was made that large shipping concerns throughout the south already have taken up the. mat ter on account of tho Increase In the price of jute, a product of India, and it was declared one fertiliser concern is trying to place an order for fifty million yards of cotton bagging to substitute for- the Jute heretofore used. The' conference was called to per fect plans for the organization of s national cotton consuming associa tion.. Ws C. Mansfield of Atlanta wai named permanent chairman; mers Who Have Been 'rushed by the War. , Hour. It Is being groat It improved now. One trouble about farmers getting disheartened about planting wheat, says Mr. Titus. 13 the fact that they] do no! plant properly. They do not prepare tho ground right, and do not plant at the right time. He says that the ground .should be broken up and harrowed. The time to sow is a day or two before the full moon in No vember. Another institution of which Mr. Tims is proud is t he Melton academy in his community. He says that H wiH do especially tine work this year. People in his country live a long time and the general health is fine. Just this week they buried an old negro] who lived to be 108. S. M. Johnson, of Liberty, No. while on a visit to the city declared that what his section needs is an au tomobile truck line operating to and from Anderson. He suggests that it hs^'o a regular schedule Just as the old stage coaches had, and promines Mint if such a thing should be instituted it [would be a great success. While the ? passenger business might be consid erable, he recommends as the principle feature the stimulating impulse It would give to tlto marketing of the country produce. Mr. Johnson says that he proposes to go extensively Into the planting of Irish potatoes himself, and many of his neighbors could market in Anderson their eggs and butter. His neighbor, Henry Martin, this summer had 1,000 fruit trees bearing and has preserved thousands j of cans of fruit. . Mr. Johnson has I 'watched with interest the instituting of the truck Une sysem between An derson and Townville, and he snys that such a venture would bo a.great thing for the people of his section, and would be sure t0 be;?-'paying in vestment.

Columbia State. : ; '''' ' If the plan of A. Mason Glbbes, president of the Glbbes Machinery company. Id made effective, the scope of thG buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement will be broadened until it embraces the whole of the United States. Mr. Glbbes suggested yesterday thr.t busi ness" men of the South call on their connections in the .North, East and West to join the rnovement and help the cotton growers In tho present emergency by purchasing ono or more bales of cotton at a minimum price ot 10 cents per pound. To further the plan advanced by Mr. Glbbes, a mass meeting will tie held today at noon at Craven hall. Business men, professional men, farmers and traveling men are invit ed to be present. It is expected that the mass meeting today will take steps to enlist the support of all com mercial organizations in the South to widen the scope of tu.i'buy-arbale.of cotton movement. The men behind the movement hope that enough cot ton will be purchased by individuals and firms at the minimum price of 10 cents a pound, about what, it costs to grow It, to enable farmers to pay their most pressing' obligation a and get in a position to hold a good part of their crop. Glbbes' PBw. A." Mason Gibbes Was asked last night by The State for a statement in regard to his plan. "My Idea is that every firm In Co iuinbi". mall circulars to its connec tions, csking them to buy a bale ot cotton at 10 cents per pound," said Mr. Glbbes. "The circulars should also contain ih? request that the con nections of Columbia Arms send cir culars In their turn to their connec tions, asking them to join the bny a-bale movement. If we can get au endless chain of circulars, going to business men all over the country the movement, whose object Is- to relieve the farmer of his most pressing obli gations by paying biro cost for his cotton." "In widening tho scope of the buy a-bale movement. huSlneM men of .the South will simply be asking th? busi ness' men of the North and West from whom they buy goods ' to help' save the cotton crop and tho fanners' pockotbook," continued: Mr. Glbbes*, "The matter should be taken up with every chamber of .commerce, and every commercial organization In the South."
