Finances.
"At the last meeting the secretary
was instructed to put out collectors
on account of dues, we at that tim.
being about $4,000 overddawn and
several. items of expense being un-
paid: Beg to report that since that
time Mr.. Kay has put in about half of
his time collecting and has collected
a total OF $87S.S0. which has paid up
all of our outstanding indebtedness
except about $125.00 and covered all
Of our previous overdraft of about
$4,000 except $64.20. which is the
present overdraft We have still out
standing on dues something like ST.
10000 gloss. but collections on these
are slow. II we cannot push these
fastersis because we have to use more
tact than usual. IL. however, we can
| collect go per cent Of them, we will
have sufficient funds to wind out the
sCdi' CiOcihB FeD. 1ol, 1910.
We have profit OF about $4,000 in
next years Chautauqua, based on
present sale Of tickets, which might be
used as collateral for any deficit we
| may sustain because of Door collec-
tions this fiscal year. We call the at
tention of the Board to our Record
book, containing all records of expen-
ditures and receipts, open to all
members at all times.

''The Committee composed of Di-
rectors Watkins, Farmer and Evans,
| held conference with the Mayor in
interest OF mapping out plans to see
that Constitutional Amendment per-
mitting City OF Anderson to assess
abutting property owners. A plan was
agreed upon, which was carried out.
Our understanding l. hat the meas
ure carried in the Ie. eral Election
and that the city is now arranging for
the special election which must be
/ ineiG in the city, anti that tie council
proposes to push the same.
Exhibit mt Fairs.
Our agricultural department sent
| q special exhibit to the State fair at
Columbia and Spartanburg. The ex-
hibit was good. We have framed a
picture which we have in the Office of
the same.
Ca w. c. Conference.
I'VE held q conference with Messrs.
Williams and Dorr of Augusta of the
C. & w. G. Ry. With regard to change
in freight and passenger schedule in
to Andersons There are several con-
hicting interests in the matter, and 1t
is still pending Retail merchants
generally prefer practically the same
service as we now have.
Mail Clerk On Morning C. e. w. C..
Train.
"We have prepared petition for
Morning Mail Clerk on c. & w. c..
train and sent same to Congressman
Aiken, asking that ne enieavor TO
secure this service, which. is badly
tneeded, as 1t viii give persons be-
tween Anderson and Mccormick a
vastly improved mail service. The
present service seems to be entirely
| unsatisfactory. We also held confer
ence with posto9fice and mail clerk
Inspector Metz regarding the matte>
He was sent here by the Government
! He would not state what his recon-
mendations would IL. but we have
reason to believe that he will recon-
mend same There are several rural
routes along this line, who are great
fy inconvenienced by present mail
service facilities. Anderson merchants
are complaining.

\ There have been innumerahle
complaints made to MS about the late
mess of the morning mail to Ander-

see IL 1t can be remedied.

County Poultry Association, will hold

ions 10 come here, but need some
small help which we cannot give them
