Secretary U _ Report At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Anderson cham ber of Commerce last night Secretary Whaley made completo reports of the activities of the body during the past, month. The following ls the secre tary's report: "I herewith beg to submit usual monthly report, in this case covering the period between October 7th, last meeting date until today, Novembet 12th. Flnunces. "At the last meeting the secretary was instructed to put out collectors on account of dues, we at that tim.? being about $400.00 overddawn and several items of expenso being un paid: Beg to report that since that time Mr. Kay has put lu about half of his time collecting and has collected a total v>f S878.P0. which has paid up all of our outstanding indebtedness except about 1125,00 and covered all of our previous overdraft of about ?$400.00 except 164.20, which is the I present overdraft. We have still out standing on dues something like 000.00 gloss, but collections on these are slow. If we cannot push these faster is because we have to use more tact than usual, If, however, we can 1 collect 60 per cent of them, we will have sufficient funds to wind out the fiscal year, closing in Feb. 1st, 1916. We have a profit of about $400.00 in next year's Chautauqua, based on present sale of tickets, which might be used as collateral for any deficit we may sustain because of poor collec tions this fiscal year. We call the at tention of the Board to our Record bock, containing ali records of expen ditures and receipts, open to all members at all times. Special Paving Committee. "The Committee composed of Di rectors Watkins, Fainter and Evans, held a conference with the Mayor in interest of mapping out plans to see that Constitutional Amendment per mitting City ot Anderson to assess abutting property owners. A plan was agreed upon, which was carried out Our understanding lr 4hat the meas ure carried In the ? tc. eral Election and that the ctl>* is no.v arranging for the special election which must be iic-it! ?ti tins i iiy, am! timi, the council proposes to push the same. Exhibit at Fain. "Our agricultural department sent a special exhibit to the State fair at Columbia and Spar tan bur g. The ex hibit was good. We have framed a picture which we have in the office of the same. C. ft. W. C Conference. "We held a conference with Mesers. Williams and DOrr of Augusta- of the C. & W. C. Ry. with regard to change In freight and passenger schedule in to Anderson.1' There are several con flicting interests *tn the matter, and it is still pending.' Retail merchants generally prefer practically the same service as we now have. , Mall Clerk on .Morning C. ft W. C. Train. "We have prepared petition for Morning Mall Clerk on C. & W. C. train and sent same to Congressman Aiken- asking that he endeavor to secure this service, which, is badly needed, as it will give persona be tween Anderson and McCormick a vastly Improved mall service. The present service seems to be entirely unsatisfactory. We also held confer ence with postoffice and mall clerk Inspector Metz regarding tbe matto>. He was sent here by the Government He would not state what bis recom mendations would 1.3, but we have renton to believe that he will recom mend same. There- are several rural routes along this Une, who are great ly Inconvenienced by present mall service facilities. Anderson merchants are complaining. ' Anderson MotsJng Mall. ."There have been innumerable complaints made to us about the late ness of the morning mall to Ander son, and we are tating same up to see if it can be remedied. Poultry Show. "The recently organised Anderson County Poultry Association, will hold tn connection with our Agricultural Committee, our first organized Poul try Show on the 17th inut. This car ries out our idea of organised asso ciations among Cte farmers for these different things, anea as the livestock ?nd poultry associations, the first be ing well on, its feet. We propose next to. organize a grain association. Ope nv House. "We expect to open Gie new Opera House on February 1st. It has been leased for a good sum with res pon ai b1? parties. Industrial. "Before the Huronean war brok? out. Piedmont Mfg] Co. had decided to' locate a wa sic mill here; lt ha? been deferred ; Southern Spices Co who have a growing business are anx ious to come here, but need . som? small help which we cannot give then now; wo ara atilt keeping in touch with them and hope to get them tc come to Anderson sometime next year We have worked hard to get the Lit tleton Hosiery Mills to move here and could probably have done co undei ordinary conditions, they are still con sidering a new location; Mr. M. V Richards, Industrial Commissioner ol the Southern Hy., has worked with \? In connection with locating several different plants here, and ts having drawn for us now in- Chicago a set of plans for s small packing plant This we will have shortly. Last yest wo were in touch with the Fox Rive? Batter Co., io an effort to gist then: to come to Anderson and put in i creamery' and they' stated then that they would consider the matter seri ously asst year, or Oils coming spring. They will want us to get far mers to guarantee to furpish fat from 800 io 1,000 cows, etc. We hope to hav< an opportunity to do this. They art a very wealthy concern and handle business upon thc best Ms!?. Sud a plant in Anderson would be of in calculable benefit. We have,taken ni several other industrial propositions The secretary mentions these matten so that yon will now. see we are al wara: on them, w *>" had good chancel tu keenre several llanta. Those chane rhaley's For Month es are now only deferred. If We can get the Fox River people here it will lie worth all our trouble. Our reas ons for getting a set of plana for a small packery is to gradually talk same up and to get the farmers to consider same. We believe the time is i not far off when a plant of this kind can successfully be launched here. Tomato Club Work and County Oem* onstrutlon Work. "The new legislative delegation for Anderson county met with us on the 10th inst- and agreed VJ have appro bation made for the ?irlB* Tomato Club wo;!' in thin county and also to secure appropriation of (400.00 for our ! county demonstration work. These ap - 1 propriatioti8 sre always made when the county delegates ask for them. The Girls fonmto Club work under State Suprrintendent Parrot ls said to be in i thriving condition and to bc ac complishing a great deal. Clemson Annexation Matter. "The secretary has an appointment at Clemson College next Wednesday I with regard to this matter. We do not believe it wise to give tho matter pub licity at this time. "We also shall take up rural tele- j phone matter with Mr. Spier next week when he is herc, having ar ranged conference. Recommendation. "The secretary believes that it will be 1 *st during the next few nronthB to concentrate all energies on secur ing a grain elevator and a county fair for Anderson. If we can do both of those things, it will necessarily mean a great deal of time and attention and hard work. On the elevator proposi tion, we have several setB of plans on hand now und our committee ls ; expected to push the matter. It will depend entirely on the farmers wheth er or not we can put it over. We do uot underestimate the problem. The secretary also recommends that plans be put In motion as soon as possible for a County fair, along modern and up-to-date lines, for next year. This can be done on the right basis, and made io pay, even if we have to lease land. These two things, both of which are badly needed and will be of great go.id, might well be the basis of sev eral months work. In addition to these we have to put on a campaign shortly, probably In December, for the first night tickets to the Opera Houee, also handle the 1915 chautauqua. Tho secretary recommends that a general meeting of thia body be held some time shortly, and at such meeting we discuss and act upon these proposi tions. We should be sble to make this general meeting interesting, having a talk on street paving plans, possible city mp-'..?.-i. etc. Also ideas for the county fair and talk on the groin sit uation." Negotiations Come to a Halt ( Kvojj fxr)8ixw?y .ig) CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Negotiations between Charles Weegbam and August Herrman, expected to result in the former's acquiring control of the Chi cago Nationals unexpectedly came to a halt tonight after their fkfth meet ing. He muan, who represented - thu* Taft interests, sent word to Ute news papers that preliminary stages In the negotiations had been passed and that final terms must be arranged by Woegham and Charles P. Taft. It generally was believed tonight that Charles W. Murphey was back ing the deal because the proposition Included moving the club to the Fed eral League park and abandoning tue old park, of which Murphey is part owner. Murphey is said still to hold 52 per cent of the Cubs stock as col lateral for a portion ot unpaid pur chase price. According to Herrman , there . la hardly a chance that anything furth er Will develop this month. With Ute halt in Ute Cub deal, hope of immediate basehall peace waa.de ferred, but it was rumored a truce cal culated to prevent competitive buying In playera' salaries would be reached whether or not definite peace terms were agreed upon. ' News that minor leagues bad agreed on salary and player lists was taken as evidence their leaders had assurance of a work ing agreement between Ute organiz ed baseball and the Federal League. . - Arranging to Handle Tremendous Crowds (By A-aocUted Prats.) i PRINCETON, N.

QUIT THE CROAKERS AND HOSIERS NORTHERN HOUSE TAKES i OPTIMISTIC VIEW CHEERING LETTER Thinks the Clouds Arc Clearing ' and Believes That the Business Outlook is Vastly Better. Anderson business mon say that it ls genuinely refreshing to bear every now and then, during the present cry of "hard times" of some business man or concern with enough sand in the craw to look tho whole world in tho face with confidence that the world owes them a living and is going to give it to them. One 'of the most cheering bits of literature read in Anderson in many a day was received yesterday hy Wal ter H. Keese & Company from the N. H. White Company of New York and just tho rcudlng of this letter is enough to make a man radiate confi dence. The letter says: "Tho sudden breaking out of war in Europe was such a shock to the world that business halted, and money went into hiding. It took some time to re gain our poise* and to realice that we are living, that the sun still shines, that crops continue to glow, and have ripened into one of the most bounti ful harvests this country ever gather ed. We have had a bad scare, but we are getting over it. Conditions are working back to normal.

When tho railroads get the?ad ! vance in frealght rates they are justly entitled to, that will bring them back into the markets as huyera of all kinds of supplies, especially Iron and atecl products. They are by far the ?biggest buyers of factory-made arti? clea, and the largest employers of ?labor of any single Interest in this country. When the railroads prosper j the oteel mills are busy, aud when the iron and steel business booms we all ?make money. "The cotton planters are up against the hardest proposition to market this ven r's crop, hut the outlook for cet ! ting at leapt a new dollar for an old one IS a mighty sight brighter than it was a month ago,. If they can get even ?cost for cotton' this year they can i then pay what they owe to the bank lers and merchants who have helped 'them make the crop, and that will make their credit good for 1915. ' ' We believe fundamental conditions In this country are Bound', that the banks are able, and soon will be wil ling to take good care of every deserv ing customer; that the European de mand for the producta of our farms and factories will stimulate business , in almost every Hue and that next i year we shall en oy a return of the : prosperity of 1906.
