WAR TIME COIN

A resident of Anderson dropped into
The IntelljgegceE Office yesterday and
showed people In the Office one OF the
quearest coins that any of them hafl
ever seen. The coin was mades py
the Banklof England and 1t was of.tM
five. shilling denomination. This WAS
a coin of the emergency period and
was made In 1904 by the Bank OF En-
gland during the Napoleon's war. The
colin was one of those Instituted by title
bank when it WAS forced to suspend
payment OF specie and when the paper
money, thah being issued by the gqE
ernInent; was refused on every hand
This created such financial stringeR-
ay that the, Bank OF England annGln
ced its. Willingness to coin all gold and
silver brought to the bank at fthe
banks own risk. At that time coy
ditions in Europe were as much ,ut-
set as they are now or even more 40
as Napoleon was at that time at itfs
height. The Bank OF England saved
the situation at that time and It wonll
appear that some snch step may again
be necessary there. upless 1t has al

FIRST SHIPMENT
For First Time In History of the

iFrom Sundays Daily.l


The nrst order ever received in An
dersoi, or IN South Carolina for that
matter. for good from South Africa,
reached this city yesterday in the
shape OF an order for some Anderson
long staple cotton seed. How tile
peop.c in the far-nway country ever

Huc:.;ion hard To determine but GER
tain It is that Furman Smith. the An
derson seedman, received an order
which requested that a certain kind
OF seed raised by an Anderson man be
shipped ut the earliest possible mo-
ment. The order went on to say that
the seed had been heard OF In South
Africa in most complimentary man
ner and that tile owners OF cotton in
that country were anxious 10 try them
out
Mr.. Smith has already secured the
variety ordered and says that he will
have them packed and ready for ship
ment by Monday morning. The ship
ment will be made from this city to
New Orleans and tGence to SOutii
Africa. Not only was the order the
first ever received from foreign
country. but 1t was one of the lnrgest
orders ever received here from. any
point for cotton seed.

BUTLER CONDEMNS DANCES
City Commissioner Thinks Terpsi-
chorian Art Being Degraded.
POSITIONS ARE A DISGRACE
Way Partners Hold Each other In
Castle Walk and other Ball
Room Dances Must Tend to
Create immortality.

"The modern dances are shameful'
demoralizing influences" said City Com
missioner Dan B. Butler of the depart
ment OF finances and accounts. i was
at Manawa Friday night and saw some
of these dances, like the Castle walk
for the first time. TAey are a disgrace"
Commissioner Butler said the old
waltzes and out-of-date dances against
which churches protested were so modest
in comparison with modern dances as to
make the latter appear disgustinsly
lewd.
II saw young and innocent girls dane

They did not appear TO realize the dis
graceful attitudes in which they were
dancing.
I'm my opinion such dances as saw
last night cause immortality and even
more than the open saloon tend,
Il do not say that these dances were
known by the dancers to be immoral
The girls did not seem to realize II, but
the positions the new dances make
necessary are so outrageous that they
cannot but tend 10 create immortality.
Commissioner Butler said he saw
couples hugging and dancing so close
together and in such unconventional
pose that they seemed as one.

has sought to keep out some Of these
modern dances from the public dance
