WILL civ?S?F?R A GRAIN ELEVATOR COMMITTEE DECIDES NOT TO LET MATTER DROP AT THIS TIME CAMPAIGN SOON House to House Canvass in Au* tomobile Will Be Made Early Next Year. _i. A good meeting of the farmers and business mens grain elevator commit tee was held yesterday at the chamber o: commerce, Judge J. S. Fowler 'pre siding, and Geo. Lahoon, B. M. Aull of Auton. W. H.

CHnk 8 cal ea of Anderson and others being present. ; . The committee reported that $2,500 was subscribed at the public meeting held for the purpose ot securing stock; that no follow-up canvass had been made, but that many farmers and business men had expressed themsel ves aa nrllling to take stock and posh the matter through. In fact, there seemed to be a changed feeling In the matter. B. M. Aull, the welt known Anton hog farmer and manufacturer, stated that lt waa necessary to provide a quick, cash, convertable market for the grain planted,, and that an eleva tor would have to be erected If the matter were properly handled,. since that waa the customary method of handling and marketing grain. Thia also, he explained, waa the quickest cheapest and best way to handle a large crop for cash with the mini mum of cost. An elevator, as he un derstood lt, acted aa an Intermediary between the planter and buyer, and was therefore; a/ necessity ff much grain was to be handled. Revised estimates furnished at the meeting Indicated a crop of about 160.000 to 1460,000 bushels of winter -rain to bejiarvested next spring, an immense amount, which if sold at 76 seats a bushel, which is below tho pr?sent selling arlee, would reprcr tent, a total cash distribution among Anderson county farmers next year it about $760,000.00, largely new noney.
