Electric City Spark1ets
North Believes
In South's Crops.

Evidently some of the northern con-
Germs doing big business appreciate
the fact that the South must have
some financial assistance in hadling
the cotton crop. A salesman for the
International Shoe Company was in
Anderson yesterday and while here
lie received a letter from his house
saying that they were preparing to
buy 1000 bales of cotton at 10 cents
per pound and might later increase
that number II 1t became possible.
This represents an outlay Of about
$4,000 OH the part of the shoe man
ufacturers but goes to show that the
people OF the north are willing to
help and also that they know full well
cotton will eventually go up In price.
