A GOOD HTA KT The outcome of tho grain elevator meeting at the court house yesterday ought to be highly encouraging to all. While the attendance, estimated at about 125, should have been larger, even considering the awful condition of the roads, and while there seemed to be some who attended who were reluctant to grasp the full meaning of the elevator propaganda, the stint ing fact of yesterday's meeting was that all concurred in the conclusion that, first, it is absoultely necessary that s grain elevator be built at An derson, to handle the big expected crop, and secondly that approximate ly $2,000.00 was subscribed. That ls an especially good beginning, and if every farmer and business man in Anderson county ls given an opportunity to sub serve to the stock, there can be no doubt but that the elevator will be built, and that next year Anderson county's first surplus grain crop will have a ready cash market here in tho county seat. The Intelligencer well knows the difficulty incident to working up a stock company at this time, and ap preciates fully the reluctanco some may show in not subscribing as quick ly as they might towards the capital stock, but on the other hand, Ander son county has sown and ls sowing a 50 per cent larger grain crop than any other county in the State, and mich a large acreage indeed, that unless sn elevator ls at hand to hsndle. buy, and sell, such grsln a? is offered, then the grain planter is going to be in a bad way. The Intelligencer firmly believes that the building of a grain elevator, cs a market and distribution system, in Anderson county, is the present, great work before our whole people, farmers and business men slike. and we believe also that under the leader ship of that splendid gentleman and constructive builder, J. S. Fowler, the stock will be sold, the elevator built, and our farmers securo a cash market for their grain next spring and sum mer. The work bas started ; let every body help; nothing is worth having that costs no effort. It will take a mighty effort on the part ot all to carry through to suc cessful consumatlon that great enter prise, but it ls worth lt. A MAH WITH CONFIDENCE One ot the striking incidents at the grain elevator meeting yesterday was that which occurred when J. Wade Drake, the well known grain farmer, called out a subscription o? $600.00 to wards the stock of the elevator. J. Wade Drake knows what grain will do. He has seen tte results In his own business on his own farm, aud thus the one farmer in - Anderson county who .knows more about grain than any other farmer; who has had more to do with grain, and known of Ita results moro than anyone else, was the subscriber to the largest amount of stock sold yesterday. What ts the lesson? That grain production has made good tn Anderson county and that Its leading exponent ls so well pleased wi?. lt?, ?hat ha sufe^-r?ftsd more money td the stock of the elevator en terprise than any other person, busi ness man, farmer, banker, merchant, la the whole county. J. Wade Drake's Judgment ls not passed up off hand. His judgment aaa heretofore proven mighty good. "Go thou and do likewise." 8T0BM PLATIN? HAVOC ALONG ATLANTIC COAST (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE.)

Building of Submarinos for Belli gerents Violation of the Spirit of Neutrality. (Hy Auoriated Frnia.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-President Wilson today expressed the opinion through a statement issued by Secre tary Bryan that the building of sub marines for any of the belligerents of the present war would be contrary to the spirit of tho neutrality of the I'nited States. The statement contained an an nouncement that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, of which Charles M. Schwab Is president, and which owns tho Foro River Shipbuilding Company, had d?ferre dto the views of the pres ident and did not intend to deliver any submarines to the belligerents during tho present war. Tho question of whether lt is legal for American firme to build subma rines for shipment in parts has not been decided. High official.3 of tho government think, however, that if the caso went to the courts they could prove that the building of any groat number of parts for a submarine IB tantamount to "outfitting" a warship, which is expressly prohibited by neutrality statutes of the United States. Secretary Bryan said today ho felt sure the president's declaration would deter shipbuilders from sending part3 of submarines to Canada for ship ment/ as had been reported. The fol lowing statement was Issued by Mr. Bryan which he said ended the Inci dent so far as the state department was concerned: "When information, reached Jthe state department that the Fore River Company was planning to build a number of submarines for ono of the Allies, inquiry was made to ascertain the facts. As a result of this inquiry. Mr. Schwab called at the state depart ment last week with his attorney and laid before tbe department what his company had planned to do, stating that before undertaking the work he had secured the opinion of a number of international lawyers and was keeping within the'requirements of neutrality as outlined,by them. "I stated to him that the president, basing his opinion upon information already obtained, regarded the work, as contemplated, a violation of the spirit of neutrality, but told him 1 would lay his statement before the president and then give him a final answer. j / "On Friday I had ai conference with the president and ho Instructed me to inform Mr. Schwab' that 'his statement* only confirmed hun lu . the' opinion previously formed that the' subma rinos should not be built. 'Within n few minutes ofter ay return; from thc White House, Mr. Schwab called me by long distance telephone, and told em that he submitted to the presi dent's views of the subject.. and that I could announce that hi? firm would not build submarines for auf belliger ent country for delivery during the war., This closes tty)j submarino inci te a report brought here tonight by Lieutenant Satterlee, of the revenue! cutter Acushnet. NSW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. ?.-The worst storm that Connecticut has ex perienced nineo 1907 today almost paralyzed telephone and .telegraph communication throughout the State.
