This is probably a larger amount than any other coun ty tn the ?tate will get. t J. il. Felton, county superintendent of education wont to Columbia on Tiwi ixl ay morning to confer with J. E. Swearlngen. state superintendent of education, in regard to .his money, and aa a result of Ur. Feltou's trip he ' secured a definfte promise from Mr. Swear i upen that a check would be malled next week for $3,304 to be distributed among the scbools of An derdon. Mr.. Pelion returned yester day ut noon and he was highly leatcd over the success of his trip. The general assembly ot South Car olina appropriated the bum of $40,000 for a "weak school fund" and the en tire amount wae placed in Mr. Swenrlngcn's banda to be used as bs sgw flt. A portion of the money has already been expended In aiding tho schools in different sections of the When asked yesterday os to what di ? position would be made of Ander sen's money. Mr. Fc-l? ou mud timi pari ol it would go to repainting school houses, some new furniture will bo bought for the schools badly in need oT equipment, sonw of U will be used in helping the needy schools to em ploy teachers, while a small portion ot it will go to the schools in the towns.

It 1?? un derstood* that " proposition will he mule then nt that time to build a grain elevator In Anderson and to have the plant In operation by the next grain harvest. "I believe that ono of the best things Anderson county could do just at this time would be to organize a company of farmers to build in An derson a model grain elevator, to bc operated, financed and maintained by people in sympathy with the farmers, and to be controlled by the farmers," suld lt. O. Evans, chairman of the Trnde/T^ Extension Committee of th? chamber of commerce yesterday, while discussing fnrming matters with other m?sRbcrs of his committee. Further discussing the matter Mr. Evans said that with the tremendous amount of (train now being planted in Anderso* unty, something would have to .ne to handle tho enor mous ero, nd he favors the con struction . ol permanent grain ele vator in Anderson. Mr. Evan? snys that If the same ls not done the far mors of Andorson will miss a splen did opportunity to control the grain crops, not alono of Anderson'county, but of adjoining counties as well Ho also pointed to the fact that the construction of a grain elevator herc would mean that the farmers of An derson would have two money crops Instead of o.ne as IB noa* tbe case. The first crop v?ould rome in July and I hf n th;; farmer would again have ready stoney in October and November when the cotton movement began. Such u plat*, would necessarily be of Immense benefit to the farmer him self in financing his business and also of Incalculable, benefit to the busi ness interests of the Piedmont sec tion. It was pointed out that before a feasible plan can be outlined to agi tato tlje construction of silos in thc t'ie?ft?mt district, &? a necessary ad junct' to the development of thP live stock industry of this part of the country, it will first be necessary to have a gram elevator for the distri bution; of grain and Beed to the far mers. It was learned yesterday that Mr. Hennojfcck, of Lynchburg. Va., south ern Bales manager for the firm of Xorrdyke. & Marmon of Indianapolis, Ind.. will come to Anderson one day next week with plans' for putting up a small elevator In Anderson on a basis of 12 1-2 to 15 cents per bushel capacity. . This elevator would be of frame and metal construction and it ls estimated that thc place here should h*ve a gross capacity of 40.000 bush els. However, this is meant thai there should he at least 40.000 bush els In the elevator at ai y one time, while In the busiest season of tho year the elevator could accomodate abeu t one-half million bushels. It was* said yesterday that at the livestock meeting which lt to be held here on September 30, plans will be Mubruiittd by a esn?TuU**?e o' farmers iz or?:i;.! -.H T ?>?S7?any K" And?r?e!". und to build the plant here. This com mittee refused to divulge its plans yesterday and would not give out any information but lt ls understood that the plan is a simple one and If carried out wi n not put the burden of the un dertaking on any one man or Set of men but will have lt distributed among a large number of farmers. There has been much talk about a grain elevator for Anderson and many have believed. that lt was merely for tba purpose of helping to bolster up tin- form-rs t?r:ur-f-g rpiiifr, but t would now appear that such a venture Is hot only possible for Anderson but In fact ie 1? htgbly probable and lt ls believed that the farmers will take to rae pronoeitton when they hear lt 3tated next Saturday.

Mr. Campbell's iden is that lt will be better to hold the s'.mw about Novem ber 15 whe-a tba els!; Ken? have moon ed and the chucka have feathered so that all thefowls will make a better appearance. Mr. Campbell also favors securing the services of an expert Judge who win grade all the chickens and who will conduct tills feature or the show with system. He has ??mw good men.ln mind ?ind other members of the association will probably havel suggestions to make in regard to the mun to bo picked for thin Important feature. It la said th?t a number of those in terested in "sh* proposition favor al lowing standard breeds of pigeons to. be exhibited and it is said that tur keys, gesse, ducks and peacocks will Uleb be allowed.
