Kalem "IS VERY FEASIBLE" CONSTRUCTION MAN TELLS OF WORK GOOD FIELD HERE Thinks That Anderson Fermes Will Immediately Approve Scheme and Lend Assistance "Feasible? Of course it is entire ly feasible." said J. Cooper Stratton of the Murrell Construction and Engin eering company, when seen yesterday j by a reporter for The Intelligencer and asked atout the plan for build ing a grain elevator hero. The gen tleman ccnstructlng the elevators for the Chicago coacern knows all there is to know about grain elevators and he talked interestingly about the prospects for putting in a plant hore. Mr. Stratton came tto Anderson for the purp', se of appearing last night at thc meeting of the directors of the Anderson chamber, of commerce. He talked at length yesterday to a re porter and explained In detail the working of the grain elevator idea. Mr. Stratton says that there ls ab solutely no question about the success of the elevator if it is started hore and that he believes Anderson people ar? going to take to the idea. He points out that it is possible for grain to be handled in the old manner, by using a "scoop" and employing a large number of laborers but says that all over the country this plan has been discarded by ' more progressive communities becauBe it is slow anO necessarily very expensive and thp' the same work is, done in a shorter time and at a leos cost when machin ery is employed. Again machinery is always to be depended upon, while negroes are not. Talking of the work done by the elevator. Mr. Stratton points out that the grading of grain is very import ant. Just as there ore several dif ferent grades nf cotton, so are there several qualities of grain, and all theso must be sorted and classified. Mr. Stratton baa plans with him for an elevator such .as Anderson will need. It has a capacity of 25,000 bushels but thia capacity can be large ly increased by using the two "legs" of the elevator. The "legs" refer to that parti of tho apparatus used from hoisting the grain from the receiving point up to the floor and into the dif ferent channels, troughs, etc., through which lt should- go on, into the cars OP. the railroad. .These "legs" will handle 2.000 bashelsj of grain per hour and will load a car on the railroad tracks in less than one hour. It ls proposed to .construct a build ing here of wood with an iron cover ing aud to flt it up- as completely as possible. The cost of the proposed undertaking ls about $10,003. Tho concern represented by Mr., Stratton is one of,the largest of its' kind in the United j States. President Burrell nf tho - company has but re cently returned from-Australia, where he went ft the request ol' the Austral ian government, to explain the sys tem followed In grain elevators, and representatives of the Burrell com pany are now in South America, as sisting the people of that country tov. get grain elevators In operation, ^ ANDERSONBOY RECEIVES HONORS Milledge L.
