We learn that at present there are
number of agents canvassing Anderson
| County in The interest of the "Home Sup.
ply Company" which, it is claimed, has
its headquarters in distant city. The
agents contne their work to farmers,
whom they induce to pay $3.50 for the
privilege of joining the Company. The
members are told that by joining this
Company they can save from SO to 100 per
cent. in buying any goods they may need.
| We would advise our readers to nave
nothing to do with such an organization.
They can buy all their goods In Ander,
son just as cheap as they can be purchased
from any Supply Company or in any city.
