GoepH of Home Ground Flour Pro? claimed. Columbia. Oct. 28.?There Is a rather extraordinary display of grains la the State building at the State fair. Commissioner Watson has gathered some flne grains from all parts of the St*??, but especial attention should be given the exhibits by Furman Smith, the seedsman, of Anderson and D. R. Cnksr cf Hartsville. Mr. Coker has a ms*s elaborate exhibit, and it is so beautifully arranged that some of the rei tsrkable specimens of oats and rye really seem artificial. It seems almost Impossible for anything to approxi? mate the perfect as nearly as do these beautiful specimens. In July Furman Smith, under the auspices of the Anderson Chamber of Commerce, gave a grain festival and offered several hundred dollars In prises. This together with the work of the farm demonstrator, J. W. Rothrock, Increased the planting of grain In Anderson several times over, and ths results were astonishing. Some of the oats exhibited are re? ported to have been as fine as ever were shown In ths United States. Com? missioner Watson got the cream of that exhibit for the state building ac the State fair. Ths cereal show at the State fair la ths greatest In the history of the Stats. Not even the great corn show wsa any more remarkable In Its ex? hibits, for what la now shown was "Mads In South Carolina." Commis? sioner Watson has carried this thought cut In ths State building. Not only does he show the grain In ths fullness thereof, but he shows the live beef on the hoof, being fed upon South Carolina raised produce; the live hogs and the live chickens, being given ths proper ration of food made from South Carolina grain. The only things In the South Carolina State exhibit not made within the State aro the oils and drugs and other things In the Inspectors' department. Not only are the live animals shown In the pens In the building, but there Is also a fine object lesson In the cured meats, and also In the prepara? tion of the grsln for the use of man? flour, cornmeal and other fruits of ths roller mills. And there Is the home-made bread made of the' home ground flour, showing what the peo pis of the State are really missing in the way of something delightful and Inexpensive, by sending away to the Western markets for flour. In Illustrating the other side of the question, the effort to And new uses for cotton rather than to dis? card the old friend entirely, there Is In s case In the textile exhibit a pair of sti made from cotton, the pro duet 01 the J AM. shoe factory In Boston. There Is a great nationwide movement to lind as .many new uses ss poaslble for cotton.

Halloween Season Opened. The Halloween season was opened j early this year by a social affair of that nature given by the Young Peo? ple's Class of the Christian Church Tuesday night at the home of the pas? tor, Earle Gray, on Hampton avenue. About twenty-live young people gath? ered to investigate the invitations of the witches and ghosts. They were met at the entrance by the ghosts of Mutt & Jeff and ushered into the re? ception room, made ghostly by Jack O'Lanterns, black cats and bats. Misses Evelyn and Louisa Williams imperson? ated witches and presided over a big black pot hung to a tripod, from which the chief witch dispensed for? tunes to the whole company to cue pleasant dismay of many of the guests. Apples on a string, blowing candles, the mystic well, and other Halloween pastimes were the diversion of the '"^ning. A very pleasant time was en 3d by all. ?espite the reported hard times and talk of war the city has already ected $2,000 in taxes although tax booka are not regularly open until the first of November. How r, $1,600 of this money was paid by the A. C. L. railroad, which d taxes early this fall. . ' R SALE?600 bushels latest im iroved Bancroft oats; limited imount of Abruzzi and home grown .?ye.
