The Weather South Carolina: Generally fair Friday and Saturday. Let's stop talking war, and talk improving business condi tions. They are meeting in Columbia to uncrown King Cotton. Greenwood Journal. "The .Commonwealth" :s rather a striking name for a new news paper. But it's not Aull in a name. The circus has "came and went" to the delight and sorrow pf the small boy and others larger. "Steal a bale" movement gain ing ground in Chester county. It is reported that two bales have been stolen there recently. Doubtless the people of South Carolina will be given an example of an ideal newspaper when The Commonwealth makes its ap pearance. Dreams of elephants and tigers and lions and acting on poles and other wonderful things, doubtless troubled many young ?ninds in their slumbers last night. WILL BUY A POUND A PAIR. The Regal Shoe Company of Boston announces that it will pur chase a pound of cotton for every pair of Regal shoes purchased from any of their stores during October and November. This means that at least 400 bales and possibly 800 bales of the fleecy staple will be purchased by this company " during these two months. This is but another ?vi flence pf the desire of people with whom the South is doing business to aid the South in this time of fi nancial stress. Of course this will not take enough of our cotton to raise the price generally, but if all these concerns would even do this well th?r? would be many thous ands of bales of distress cotton taken. THE TRAGEDY QF CIRCUS DAY A YEAR AGO. The presence of the circi? in Anderson yesterday calls to mind an occurrence that brought great sorrow to the city, and caused the death of some brave men. It will be recalled that about 10 o'clock the night Barnum & Bailey's clr tus was here a year ago, the Todd Auto shop caught fire and was burned to the ground, consuming many automobiles, despite the heroic efforts of firemen and oth ers. A falling wall killed i MO of the heroic, firemen, Will Campv toell and Robert Davis, Andrew Jones, colored, and Henry C Townsend. Mr. Townsend llnger : ed many weeks, but finally his no ble spirit winged its flight to the unknown city, leaving behind a memory which will ever be green |Tra vacancy which never can ,j be Wte(L;Thewriter did not Know. Mr. Townsend but.he has heard of him, and .those who have spoken, though strong men, have done so . with feyea moist, and voice thank ing wJfr?^oU^^^ Such a death is not to die? ; , ? t .

This has been on ac count of unexpected changes in our mechanical force which change could not be seen nor forestalled. Then our linotype machines went bad on us, and we have been trying to do more than could be done under the circumstances. However, wc have good news in store for those who wish us well. We have new p? ts on the way from thc factory, and an expert machinist is now engaged in put ting our machines in first class shape. So we hope that after this morning we shall be able to return to the customary size of the pa per ?Mid lill it with live news of Anderson, and the world as gathered by thai greatest of nows gathering agencies-The Associated Press. WILL WEAR COTTON GOODS. The following news story sent out from Washington under date of the 7th inst., is an indication as to what can be done by the people of the South should they combine to do just what is being done by these ladies. A great number of cotton mills could thus be made to pay handsomely, when now they are losing propositions: Tonight at the New Willard Hotel the "National Cotton Show" is in full blast, or rather, it is in full boom. Young ladies of the cabi net and congressional circles are among those who are doing all in their power to encourage the wearing of cotton, and to show just how attractive cotton raiment can be made. Several of these young ladies are in attendance upon the show wearing cotton dresses made withHlieir own hands, and thus are showing not only the ability of Amercan-made cotton goods with propriety, but also they are de monstrating that society women, when the occasion demands it, can be well-dressed in clothes made with their own efforts. Some time ago Represntativc Johnson, of South Carolina, received several handsome dress patterns from President A. B. Calvert, of the Drayton Mills, at Spartanburg, with the request that they be present ed to Miss Genevieve Clark, Miss Callie Hoke Smith, and Miss Lucy Liurleson, daughters of the Speaker, the Senator from Georgia, and the Post Master Gen.nril, respectively. The presentation was made at the office of the i: peaker, the scene being "snapped" by motion picture cameras and newspaper photographers. These young ladies wore these dresses at the cotton show this evening. Several of the leading merchants of Washington are extensively advertising cotton goods this week, and one, at least, is offering for sale bales of cotton, in line with the "buy-a-bale" movement of the South, the cotton is not actually handled, but certificates covering the price of the cotton, 10 cents per pound, warehouse and insurance receipts, art sold to the purchaser at approximately $5o a bale, de pending upon the weight. . INGENUITY OF AN ANDERSON FARMER.. Necessity is the mother of invention, and oftentimes the genious mind of a thrifty and intelligent man will devise ways and means for doing things that are decidedly out of the ordinary and act as time savers. The following incident will show that Ander son county is not behind in this matter. An Anderson County farmer was seen "trailing" out a brand new standard two-horse road scrape and a seed drill. The combination excited a question: "Going to have good roads out your way, eh? " "Well, yes, but that is not the secret, my land requires terracing, and 1 am going to use that scraper machine to throw up wide feather "bed" ter races. 1 can do more work in two hours with it and two mules than four hands with turn plows can do in a day, and then I am go ing to sow the ground to oats." ELECTRIC TRAIN TO HANDLE SHOW 101 RANCH CCOMING P. AN. ON AN INNOVATION road Will Handle Long For First Time, an Electric Rail Show Train. . The first advertising car of Miller Brothers and Edward Arlington's 101 Ranch Real Wild Weat was In town yesterday and will remain over here today while the crew of 30 men are busy billing the surrounding terri tory for tho coming of the show on Tuesday, October 2?, a Hiiie less than three weeks away- The car came Into Anderson over the Piedmont & Northern railroad as a special train The show will como from Greenville here over the same road, and lt will be the first time In the history of railroading that an electric Une ever handled show trains. As a . result of this contract railroad officials from all ovei the country have arranged to be tn both Anderson and Green ville to watch the movement of the show trains. This is the first trip of the 101 Ranch through thia country. It was born at the Jamestown Exposition, and has been on the road ever since, but in all its career lt has never been In thc Carolinas. It ls classed with the Ringling circus aa to sise although it is not the samo type of entertainment, the 101 Ranch being a real wild west In overy sense of tho term, it has Ti G c?rc?B 'c?t?reS wa?tS?vV?r, a?a thrives on its presentation of the wild west alone, although a circus must go to the wild west for part of Its en tertainment. Every bid hackneyed wild west act has been eliminated,. and in their places. Joe Miller has placed a ntim ber of stirring episodes as they oc cur on the famous 101 Ranch at u'.iss, Oklahoma. For instance tho cowboys on the ranch spend their spare time wrestling with steers, and the most proficient cowboys can throw these long horned Texas 'ani mals with main strength. This has been introduced jato the show, and ? yoong lady, Mles Blanche Mo "haughey, also elulates her brothers at this difficult feat- There aro moro cowplria than over before, and alt of them are fresh from the plains all of them enjoying their first .trip through this State. . Just 101 Indians will be here with the aggregation. They were led by Chief Iron Aa?, a Sioux warrior who fought under Craxy . Horas ic the memorable Ouster massacre. He ls al so the model for the Indian hc^f on the New Buffalo nickle, and was pick ed from a..field of over, ,300 Indians from i the ' various ' ' reservations throughout the country. He presides over the entire' congress although six different nations are carried- instead of the usual one single tribe. The procession show day morning I will see all the picturesque charac-1 tera In line together with the only Mexican rebels In this country. A| detachment of Cossacks are also car ried and they show the Cxar'a method ot charging the enemy and the RUB 'S I an manual of arms since the begin ing of the European war. They are led by Prince Lupl, the only Russian | officer not now on the field of bat tle. He would be there but hts con tract with the show prev?ate it- ; The show travels on three trains of | cars THE. MAN HE KILLED. Hud ho and 1 but met By some old ancient inn.

WOMAN'S WAY _itt.. rvfrfU B> MARJORIE CLOUGH Tbe ladles of Hing wood, having de-' dded to establish an orphan asylum, met for the purpose and organised. Then they appointed various commit tees and adjourned for one week, j when they came together again to bear j the reports. Ali committees reported favorable results except the committee appointed to rent a bouse for the asy lum. "The only place large enough 'for the purpose," reported Mrs. Imogen Brain ard, chairman of tbe committee, "and with grounds such au we must have ls Uie Canfield property. It bas been va- j cant for two years, but bra,just been j taken by a men's llterary^lub, to be i called the Goldsmith. Unfortunately a | leu sa was signed by the owner and by the officers of the club only ye.stqr.dny," "Perhaps," auld mild mannered,Misa { Blooding, "if the gentlemen pf the club knew that we wained it for tho dear children they would"- ".

I prefer a heroic method, Z move, that a com mittee be appointed to go to them and demand that they give up the property to us." - HU ? i The motion waa carried, and Mrs. Jlmber, Miss Bates nhd Miss Blending were appointed on tho committee, Mrs Jlmber bel?g chairman. The three members of the Goldsmith club's committee on bouse consisted of Mr. Flint, Mr. Downing and Mr. Fairweather. Mr. Flint was among men what Mrs. Jlmber was among wo men. When the asylum committee called upon him to give up to them tbe Canfield property -be replied with an emphatic "Nor Messrs. Downing and Fairweather,though sympathizing with him In retaining tbe place for the clnb, could not but feel that Miss Bates and Miss Blending, who were comely, look ed upon the refusal as exbwUiely un gallant Mrs. Jlmber Issued a request that tbe members of the club meet march to the property In dispute, take possession of it and hold lt Mr. Flint got wind of the movement and barred all tbe doors and windows..

Then Mrs. Jlmber lost ber temper and told the other two members of the . copi mlttee that she would .baye nothing more to do with the matter. One day Miss Bates beard that Mr. Flint had been called awayv Suer wrote, a note to Mr. Downing, stating that a majority of the asylum committee would be pleased to Bee the club's com mlttee that evening, at her house to?, the purpose of making a proposition that would, she* thought be satis factory to the men-and end the dead lock noon the property in dispute!

Every sensible farmer must realize; this year that he cannot afford to buy grain, corn or other foodstuff ; that he cannot afford to pur chase anything that he can raise on the' farm. - Wise and pogressive farmers fully appreciate the necessity of farming on as economical basis as possible, and that the greatest saving can be affected-by using modem, labor-saving implements. of Sowing Grain Experience h?s proven that splendid, profitable crops of Oats and other grain can be raised throughout the South. Sowing in open furrows positively insures against freezing out. Farmers no longer fear that their crops^!??y>fre ruined by hard winter or early sprthg freezes. . u .>??. ^ .' " ;. ' ? .
