If our local merchants and storekeepers transact a large volume of busi ness their prosperity ls communicated to every person In tho entire com munity. The values of our real estate Increase. Wages are Increased. There Is more money In circulation and it la moro readily obtained for purposes of expansion, paying for improvements, buying luxuries, etc. In every way we can discover better conditions on all sides when our business men are busy. There la every reason In tho world why we should spend our cash at home Instead of sending lt to tho big cities. By keeping it In circulation in our home community we profit In many ways. Rut If wo send our money to the mail order houses, that ls the last wo hear of it. If enough money ls sent to the mail order bouses from our com munity we may easily put our local merchants out of business. By diverting our trado from our local storekeepers wo can make lt Impossible for them to maintain their stores. Every dollar sent out of our town to the ma'l order houses detracts just so much from our own Individual prosperity, a-j well aa from the prosperity of the storekeepers and from the community in g?rerai. Think cf the consequences if wo should nil cer.d to tho mall order houses for our necessities and our luxuries. How long would it be before our local merchants would have tho "closing out sal?" signs on their doora, to be followed by tho "for sale" signs on the stores themselves? AND WHEN THE BUSINESS HOUSES ARE ALL ADVERTISED FOR SALE V/HAT WILL BE THE VALUE OF OUR OWN HOUSES AND LOTS? Such conditions havo actually prevailed In somo communities. It has happened that tho citizens becamo "mall-order-mad" and ce^t to the big cit ies for the greater part of their merchandise. The local merchants aban doned the field, because there was no business there for them. The burden of taxation foll on tho various property owners, because there wero no busi ness concerns to bear the big proportion which generally falls to their share. Property values decreased until there were no bidders for undesirable real estate. The town became dead. In the meantime the head of a big mall order house In Chicago was drawing an Income of over a million and a quarter dollars, made possible by the business received by hie concern, by mail, from such communities as the one above described and from our own community, 'as well es from others! all ever the United States. Every dollar of this enormous Income was diverted from storekeepers In small communities. Every dollar sent In to that great mall order concern, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars annually, detracted from the prosperity of some community, struggling to bicorne a center of population, but retarded by the short-sightedness of the citizens who sent their money out of town in preference to helping'towards the prosperity of their own community. Of course, lt was all done unthinkingly. Those who sent their dollars to the mall order boura did not stop to consider that these same dollars would add to the prosperity of the home community if expended at home. They did not stop to reason that by helping thoso In their own community they would be best advancing their own interests. THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS YOUR HEI.P. YOU NEED THE HELP OF EVERY DOLLAR IN ORDER TO MAKE A BETTER COMMUNITY IN WHICH TO LIVE. YOU NEED THE PROSPERITY OF THIS COMMUNITY TO MAKE YOVR PROPERTY OF GREATER VALUE AND TO GIVE YOU THE BENEFITS OF A BETTER COMMUNITY IN WHICH TO MAKE YOUR HOME BRIGHTER, MORE DESIRABLE AND WORTH MORE IN DOLLARS AND CENTS. We must nil consider these matten. Wo must stop and think, before sending our dollars to the mail order houses, that our co-operation ls neces sary to the upbuilding ot our community and, that, for our own Belflsh ad vantages, even with no other motive, we must patronize -home Institutions and keep our dollars at home so that they can work fdr the advancement of our own prosperity. * We w*H ?Il S?d thct it ie a fact, whan we consider the question from every view point, that wa can buy as cheaply qrd as profitably from our local merchants a? from a mell order house, and wa then know what we are buy? lng, instead of buying a "pig in a poke." , " ( RURAL .SCHOOLS ARE BEGINNING SESSION SEVERAL WILL OPEN DOORS MONDAY WELL QUIPPED WUiiford, Roberts and Green Pond Schools Begin Year With Splendid Corps of Teachers Noxt Moiflay willi witness the opening or three ot the best rural rcbools In Anderson county, or tor that matter in SouUfe Carolina, when Roberts, Oreen Pond and Willlford begin the school session.

V?ISS LETTER :omrae*ks?R* off Making 'Town Affair" of "Cotton Goods Week." Tho Intelligencer !.? in receipt ot a it ter from Mis* Genevieve Clark, hairman of the "National Cotton Fa nion* 9bow,"' relative to ths "Nat mal Cotton Goc de" week now in foll last ia Anderson, which we reproduce ore wit*, together mitti t?te cltptdng to which she refers (n her letter: Washington, D. C.. Oct. 9, 1914. The Anderson Intelligencer. Your "National Cotton Gooodsl \\\ek" in very interesting and the idea' of ;;;ui;irig it a "Town Affair" should make it very popular. The combination of aiding charit ies und the merchants should prove attractive to thc women of your oom-1 munity when in addition they stock up their supplies of cotton goods. I enclose some literature and dip pings which I hopo will be useful lo you. Sincerely yours, GENEVIEVE CHAMP CLARK. From the reports of the different merchants featuring cotton goods this week, tlie '"National Cotton Goods" week, in Anderson has been a big suc cess. Those ladies who have not availed themselves of this opportunity of ald Ing the South in her hour of need, and at the same time profiting hy the reduced prices of staple cotton goods, will have to hustle for there are only two more days left in which to parti cipate in this great movement. Tiie clipping referred to by Miss' Clark follows: The suggestion of Miss Genevieve Champ Clark, daughter of Speaker Champ Clark, that there be held dur ing October special "sales of sotton poods by all the stores of the United States hus been adopted in many cities, i All stores are urged to adopt this suggestion, some time during October. Hy holding these sales throughout the entire country at about the same time, the stores will get tho henefit of the wide-spread publicity thc proposition lms attracted, and their advertising will therefore be more effective. The movement wi!! stimulate general bu siness and put millions of money into circulation that is now inactive. It will also str'.ke directly at the root of the present cotton problem by increasing the consumption of cotton goods and enabling manufacturers more freely to convert the raw product Into finished material. Permanent good will result by ed ucating the public In the many uses to which cotton can bc put with mu tual benefit to consumer manufactur er and planter.
