Anderson, October 90: President
II. c. Townsend of the Townsend
twine mills and President Ellison A
Smith of the PelZer cotton mill have
placed orders for several hundred bales
CT East India cotton and, 1t is said, that
other mills in the Piedmont section
have done likewise. The Indian cotton
is of a shorter staple than the upland
cotton, but is as white and smooth
The mills are going to experiment with
this cotton and If it works satisfactor-
lily, and the mill men are confident II
WILL large orders will be placed at once
The experiment is being made with
this cotton on account of the high price
of American cotton. The Indian cotton
was bought at IL Is cents (. o. b. New
York. The freight to Anderson is sc
cents per 100 pounds. This cotton can
therefore, be laid down here for about
II IA cents while the American cotton
is bringing IA IA here now. The saw
ing of cents per pound will be big
item with the mills. and If the expert
ment proves satisfactory, arrangements
will be made to bring large shipments
from an Indian port direct to Charles
ton, by which 25 cents per 100 pounds
will be saved.

COMPLAINTS against the Southern
railway are as rare nowadays as they
used to be frequent, and we are In
clined to attribute the fact as much a;
anything else to the policy Of concilia-
tion, accommodation and practical good
will that President Finley has beer
pursuing. This big railroad property
seems to be growing in usefulness and
power, at a more rapid rate than evei
before in its wonderful history and Ii
making less fuss about 1t.

The membership Of Hebron Asso-
ciate Reformed church, about -four
miles southwest Of Yorkville, has trans
ferred itself to the Yorkville Associate
Reformed church in a body.
Mr.. J. L. Guy Of Camden, who Is
handling some wonderful bargains In
land in his neighborhood, writes that
he has made another big sale, this time
to parties living in Union county. He
makes some more offerings in today's
issue of The Enquirer.
The best thing to be done with the
surplus money that Is coming In fol
the present crop, Is to invest it in land
where the prospective investor has not
as much as he can handle profitably
and where he has as much as he can
handle properly, he should invest in
Improvements on what he has.
81 wish land in this country was
worth $50 an acre so people would
take better care Of it." remarked well
known farmer in the presence Of the
writer yesterday. The fact is that
most land in this country Is worth $50
an acre or more, and II people would
only take better care Of it, 1t would
bring that price and better.
The advertisement elsewhere in this
issue announces the coming sale of the
Norris tract in three small farms. This
land which has been very much i'm
proved during the past few years has
been made to demonstrate during the
last year that it Is much more valua-
BILE than people generally have consid-
cred it to be, and in the auction sale
that has been announced, there will be
an opportunity for some good bar
gains for people who are looking for
small farms.
A kind, notherly friend Of The En-
quirer, who has been taking the paper
since long before any one Of the pres
ent publishers was born and who has
been an invalid for several years, sends
word that she Il thinking Of making
up a club this year, and adding to our
list the names Of those Of her neigh
bors who are not already subscribers.
The message is indeed a pleasant one,
and whether our good friend finds 1t
practicable to carry out her purpose
or not, we most heartily accept the will
for the deed.

the News and Courier: 1t Is almost i'm
possible to estimate the amount OF
whisky held by the county dispensaries
of the state at the present time. How
ever, it is thought that in the fifteen
counties which have voted out the dis
pensaries, and who will have to close on
November Is, with few exceptions
the stock will be sold out by that date
and that in many instances the stocks
will be disposed Of before November
Is, which will mean that there will be
prohibition in those counties before the
time set by law. According to the re-
port issued some time ago by Dispen-
sary Auditor West, the stock on hand
in the dispensaries Of the fifteen coun-
ties which voted dry, was worth over
100000. That was on October l, and
there was about forty selling days left
which meant that to dispose of all OF
the stock on hand in all Of the dispen-
saries about $4,000 worth per day
would have to be sold. This amount OF
sales per day has been exceeded. Lex
ington, Hampton and Colleton have
about disposed of their stock, and the
dispensaries in these counties will close
within the next few days, as whisky
cannot be carried from one county tc
another and sold. However, whisky
can be transferred from one dispensary
in the same county to another. AS t
claims, they amount to approximately
$3.50 1t is expected that nearly al
of the counties will sell out their stocks
and in that case there will be ample
funds to meet all of the claims agains
the dispensaries. Mr.. West stated to.
day that the stock In Orangeburg coun'
ty on October 13, was only s32,432. anG
that, in his opinion, very little Of this

DR.. A. +. Anderson Died Yesterday.
Chester Reporter: DR.. Augustus F.
Anderson, one of the county's Oldest
citizens as we'll as its oldest medical
practitioner, and a man universally
beloved, passed quietly away at six
o'clock this morning two miles south
west Of Lowryville. For some time Or.
Anderson's health had been falling, but
Saturday he was apparently as well as
usual, with the exception of a slight
pain in his left shoulder. This grew
worse and last night apparently al
fected his heart, death coming this
morning in the early watches, with
kindred and friends gathered around
his couch The funeral services VIII
be held at Zion Presbyterian church to-
morrow morning at II o'clock by Rev.
F.. A. brennan, and an immense con-
course will gather to pay their last re,
spects to the good citizen and beloved
physician. DR.. Anderson was native
of Charleston, and was born In the city
by the sea, September 26, 1913; Ills
early education was obtained In the
common schools of this county and at
Mount Zion academy in Winnsboro,
where he was a classmate Of the late
DR.. James H. Carlisle. In 1S43 ne
graduated in medicine from the Med
ical college at Augusta, and at once
took up the practice of medicine In this
county. He was ranked high In his
profession, not only in this county, but
in the state at large, and took prom
inent part in gatherings or the medlcal
fraternity. He was assistant surgeon
of the Sixth Regiment, S. c. ", In the
civil war, and after the war was for
many years surgeon Of the county pen
sion board. In 1876 he was elected a
member of the legislature, but had no
liking for public life. and dropped out
Of politics after one term. He had
been engaged in active practice until
recent years, when falling eyesight had
caused him to desist from active la
bors. He is survived by the following
children: Mesdames E. c. Lowry and
jamie Estes and Messrs. w. A. and D.
G. Anderson, ali Of the Lowryville
neighborhood.

The Anthony Bulletin suggests a

ford to indulge In AS well as Anthony.
It's booster trip ON a small scale. and

indulge I'm something Of this sort as
the larger and more extensive trips
have proved to the wholesale interests
Of Wichita. We think 50 much OF the
scheme that We believe we will inau-
gurate q booster automobile trip among
our retail interests. The Bulletin says:
The merchants In some Kansas
towns are doing 4 thing that Anthony
merchants should do. They are visit
ing the people In their trade territory.
This il the way they do 1t: On GER
tain days they gather up enough au
tOmobiles about their town to carry
those who will 20 and then start out
for a pleasure trip to the neighboring
towns in the county and In their trade
territory. They call on all the mer-
chants In these towns and see the
people and visit with the farmers liv-
ing along the way. BY such visits
friendships are made and interest
awakened in matters Of mutual inter
est. acQuaintances are formed. and the
particular town represented by the
touring merchants Is well advertised.

more ambitious trips taken by rail by
the jObbers nd wholesale houses Of
Kansas City and Wichita.
Anthony merchants could do the
trick nicely. There are plenty Of au-
tomObiles. There are many small
towns about Anthony. aud the people
In these towns would be glad to be-
come better acquainted with Anthony
merchants. There are many farmers

Anthony. and these farmers would be
glad to have a visit from the mer-

In our modern pride of advertising
Ve may delude o0rseives Into believ-

We are wrong. About seventy i've
years ago Cincinnati Vas doomed 10y
an advertising campaign Outshininx
some Of our present efforts In clean
cut business methods. Nicholas Long
worth. prugenitOr of Congressman
Nicholas LOngwOrth Of Cincinnati. was
At that time in Possession Of q group
OF seemingly hopeless hills along the
Ohio He couldn't sell them he
couldn't lease them, and he couldn't
work them.
For q long time he studied the situ-
alton. and his mind Travelled the same
groove toward n solution that h trav-
eled In ~ many present day CONNER
ctal iMculties-towaFd advertising
Longworth recalled the vine clad ter
races Of the German Rhine. and he
proceeded to use the only advertising
medium which was worth much in
those days-the postOface-to bring
viniculturists to Cincinnati
He printed circulars and wrote let
ters 70 the full productive capacity of
the little town OF Cincinnati and flood-
ed the fatherland with them. He told
them exactly what he would want to
know II he were in their place. describ
ing soil. climate. living conditions. etc.
and he offered them profitable employ
ment and protection.
As a copy writer he must have been
Q winner and the original reason-why
man. for how numerously the Germans
responded IL now a matter Of history.
Hundreds of thousands Of Germans
live in and about Cincinnati today.
II more towns with advantage ses
would wake up and follow the exam
pie Of Longworth there would be- a
better adjustment Of population and
industry TO the profit Of all concerned.
There has been too much unprepared
and harum scarum advertising done
by towns. which has resulted In no
good. An effective campaign must lie
well followed up. Montgomery. Ala.
several years ago spent $4,000 In ad-
vertising. and when results came in il

Clean Vacant Lots.

Weeds Of all sorts should at least
be beheaded to prevent the seeds ma.
turing. Vacant lots, parkways and
roadsides are responsible for most Of
the weeds in our gardens. and those
public breeding spots for weeds should
receive attention. One years seeding
makes seven years' wedding. and those
living in the neighborhood Of weedy
vacant lots would find 1t profitable to
keep such properties clean. 1t is
