COMPRKIIKNKIt K GRAIN SHOW.
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.
