Colds are caught In many ways; Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts ; ?crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated.

NOT ENOUGH IN THE COUN TY FOR DEMAND NONE AVAILABLE But Few Planters Have More Wheat Than Needed for Con sumption and Planting. "Whero will Anderson county far mers get seed wheat enough to sow" was the question asked last night by ono well known business man while a discussion was going on as to the amount of wheat to be nlanted this season by lucal planters. The speaker wont on to say that practically the entire available supply of seed wheat In Anderson county has already been exhausted and Anderson plantera have not yet begun to sow wheat. All told, not more than 10 or 12 An derson county planters have over sow ed wheat on an extensive scale and each year they have been planting the same wheat Of the few in the county now sowing wheat tn any considerable extent they have been using ? tho same seod useQ by their grandfathers for the last E0 vir 60 years and these men had but little seed wheat to offer for salo. Throughout tho country the same cry is being heard. "Seed wheat Is scarce and we cannot supply the de mand." Anderson county's supply ot seed wheat seems to have been sold out and when the planters prepare to sow about 20 times as much wheat in this county as was ever produced here before, they will be up against the proposition of finding seed enough to plant '0i To show that the situation is se rious, Furman Smith, the Wholesale seedsman, when seen yesterday and asked by a reporter for The Intelli gencer as to tho truth about wheat being scarce, exhibited letters where ho returned checks amounting to more than 3400 during the last week : to planters in the lower part of the State. All of these planters desired seed wheat for immediate use ~nd tho An derson seed house could not fill their ordors. it is Bald that tris condition ls by no means confined to South Carolina and that other states are in the same ?*. ._' AAAAAAAA AA AO QOOQOOC - O o vTfDW . vcura - V uviMnn illl ito, V a o )O0OOOOOO oj> ooooo'oooo - EUREKA.
