ELEVATOR PLAN WILL 60 THROUGH TUESDAY MEETING HELD TO ORGA-! MZE COMPANY TO ERECT HOUSE Imperative Need of Another Mon ey Crop for County Has Made Elevator Necessary Here. AH the farmers of Anderson Coun ty admitted long ago laat this, county must have au elevator to handle the next grain crop, but they have been ? at a toss to puzzle out how the eleva tor will be secured. A call has been issue for a big grain meeting to be j held in this city Tuesday, ?ioyem?er j 24, at ll a. m. This meeting has been called irf/ordCr, to c?rry out the j whole pian uu? ?o, present il ?u ???- ? tail to every farmer Interested. Thc farmers considor thp.t they have a, chance to COVjSr their ?ossea cn cot ton, through the European war. by making their profit back next year on grain and lt in therefore believed that the attendance ,at the meeting Trrtiday will be lar&e. Discussing the matter yesterday, Judge S. Fowler, chairman of the Farmers and Business Men's Grain Elevator Committee, said to a report er for Tho Intelligencer: "Something must be dope to sec that the grain crop of Anderson County is moved next year for cash. It ls necessary that every farmer who . next year has oats, wheat, corn or other grain for sale must be sure of being able to bring or ship the samo to Anderson and get paid for same in cash at the market price. When this ie arranged, one of the bifgest possible things has been done for the farmer, and he is sure to get cash for his grain at the actual Chicago mar ket quotation price. There ls only 1 one way to do th!3. That is by build ing an elevator in Anderson, which will purchase the grain for casu. If it is not done it is going to bo prac- ! tlcaliy ur possible to move the great crop next year and Instead r.f the, farmer getting a big price for bis ' grain, aa. he surdy will, he will have j nd arlee for hts grain, he will have < no local means of handling ?ame and I getting csBh at home for iL The.' cost of handling it individually will," eat up his prout- A grain elevator ls the only solution. "lt ls a simple matter. We can build our own grain elevator, and we have a very simple plan, which wi? mean a very small cash outlay, as we are able to accept grain for 1 cash and put the deal through and build a grata elevator here vrtth am ple capital to carry out thespian. It can not be don?, however, without co operation. That we mnst have. Grain ls a'staple article and with an eleva tor cash advance* on .same aro easily secured. There will be no trouble to, market the crop with the elevator." Football Today.

FOR THREE DAYS IN MONTH j OF FEBRUARY STAR ATTRACTIONS The Wonderful Skovgaard Will] Be One of the Musicians to Perform in Anderson. At a meeting of the Central Com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, it was decided to hold- Anderson's first Winter Music Festival on February 20-22-23. These dates were positively selected and there will be no change made in the] arrangements. It wiU be noticed that Sunday, February 21, has been eliminated but it is posible that at a later date arrangements may bo perfected for a religious program to be rendered by the performers on this day. That matter will be taken ! up with the Ministerial Union for discussion and -if the ministers of tho city desire it, it te probable that a special service may be arranged. Announcement has come from the headquarters of tho association to the effect that thc famous Hungarian violinist, Skovgaard, will be hore, to gether with his violin quintette. It was at first thought that it would be impossible for Skovgaard to leave Europe, because of the war, but he has succeeded in effecting his release from army duty and is now in Amer ica. /Anderson people will therefore be given an opportunity to hear a man play whose right hand alone is insured fer $50,000. Other splendid features will be In troduced on the three day3 program and it is understood that the commit tee is endeavoring to secure Freder ick Ward, probably the most famous Shakespeare interpreter in the en tire country. An agreement was signed with C. H. Bleich, lessee of the Anderson theatre, by which the attractions will be ?taged in the new theatre, which will open on February 1. Andersen people will get much more enjoyment out of the festival because of the fact that it is to- take place In thc hand some new building.

Waa Convicted 1 Yesterday of the Murder of Duck Clement. For the first time In many months an Anderson county Jury has return- < ed a verdict of guilty of murder with ( a recommendation to the mercy of the court. For the last year or so it ; has been almost Impossible to secure a verdict of murder when all of the 1 parties involved Were negroes, but 1 last night'at R o'clock the Jury serving lon the case of Gardoza Jeffries, char- I ged with the killing of Duck Clement, I returned a verdict of guilty of ?nur- I der with a recommendation to ?aercy, ! This was about the only s^ojatton ly case on the docket for this term < of court. It was taken up when court i convened yesterday morning at 9:30 o'clock and no verdict was returned until the jury had deliberated for orer two hours, which vould seem to ! indicate that some must have held out for capital punishment. Kurtz P. Smith, the solicitor, and T. P. Dickson, ESQ., represented a strong and able case for tho State, while* Watkins & Prince defended the negro. From tlus evidence submitted it appeared that a crowd of negroes engaged in a game of "caps" on the plantation of D. B. McPhall, about 9 mllcB from town, a little over three J months ago. The game was played on Saturday night and during the course of thc affair a dispute arose as to settlements. Duck Clement, one negro in thc game, owed Cardoza Jef fries 10 cents and when Cardoza de manded payment Clement tock all his money out of his pocket, together with a pistol, and told Jeffries to see if he could get his money. Jeffries snatched the gun out of Clement's hand, whereupon Clemen f ran and Jeffries fired into the darkness. This air transpired Saturday night and Sunday morning Clement was found across a foot log, dead. The defense set up a plea that the shooting was accidental and that Jef- i fries did not intend for thc gun to fire. The penaly, when a verdict of gull?

K. Breedin, secretary of tho Statewide prohibition movement which is just now attracting so much atten tion, came to Anderson last night, and will remain in the city several days in the interest of his movement. In srrsaking to a reporter for The Intel ligencer lest night. Mr. Breadlo Maid that he waa much encouraged over the outlook for securing tho passage of a bill submitting the mater to a vote for ratification . by the people next September. Ho will confer with several leaders of this movement in Anderson county this morning, and map out the work he wishes to have them do in connection .with this mat ter. Speaking of the matter. Mr. Breed in said:, "We used* to hear that prohibition was a sumptuary Jaw and some cited Roman history to. prove that sump tuary laws are ineffectual; others ar gued that prohibition would be an unjust Infringement on the liberty of a citizen; but the course of all econ? omlc thing and legislation for the past decade has proceeded on the theory that lt is democratic to legislate In the Interest of the majority and ac cording to their economic and monti Ideals. Our sanitary regulations take cognizance not only of a man's front door, but bia back door, loo. The theory of one'a home? being hts ess. tie and therefore immune from In spection and penalty, ls hot held." "It has lor.g been our law that a man may not use his property to the injury of hts neighbor; and now we have the corollary that a man msy not use himself or hi? liberty-so ss to endanger a' weaker man. The right of a majority to determine questions of State policy ls not open to ques tion. "We do not hear much about the survival of the fittest nowadays. Yon know the opponents of prohibition ca ed to argue that the removal of temp tation would weaken the fiber of our citizenship; but those very men favor prohibition of opium. "Our law now requires vaccination against a small-pox epidemic, con trary to the wishes of many, but in the interest of the general public We have then, os the principle, the wel fare of a community, a county, a State, a nation, instead of the selfish theory'of a few. ?
