Halloween Season Opcncd.

The Halloween season was opened
early this year by social affair of
that nature given by the Young Peo-
pies Class Of the Christian Church
Tuesday night at the home of the pas
tor, Earle Gray, on Hampton avenue.
About twenty-five young people gath
cred to investigate the invitations of
the witches and ghosts. They were
met at the entrance by the ghosts of
Mutt & Jeff and ushered into the re-
ception room, made ghostly by Jack
OLanterns, black cats and bats. Misses
Evelyn and Louisa Williams imperson-
ated witches and presided over a big
black pot hung to a tripod, from
which the chief witch dispensed for
tunes to the whole company to the
pleasant dismay Of many of the guests.
Apples on a string, blowing candles,
the mystic we'll, and other Halloween
pastimes were the diversion Of the
evening. A very pleasant time was en-
roTed by all.

Gospel Of Homo Ground Flour Pro.
claimed.

Columbia. Oct. 2s.-There Ia a
rather extraordinary display Of grains
In the State building at the State fair.
Commissioner watson has gathered
some nne grains from all parts or the
State. but especial attention should be
given the exhibits by Furman Smith,
the seedsman. OF Anderson and ID. r.
Coker OF Hartsville. Mr.. Coker has q
more elaborate exhibit, and It Is SO
beautifully arranged that some of the
remarkable specimens of oats and rye
really seem artificial. It seems almost
impossible for anything to approxi-
mate the perfect as nearly as do these
beautiful specimens.
In July Furman Smith, under the
auspices OF the Anderson Chamber of
Commerce. gave q grain festival and
offered several hundred dollars In
prizes. This together with the work
OF the farm demonstrator, j. w.
Rothrock. increased the planting of
grain In Anderson several times over.
and the results were astonishing.
Some Of the oats exhibited are re-
ported TO have been as fine as ever
were shown In the United States. Com
missioner Watson got the cream of
that exhibit for the State building as
tho State fair.
The cereal show at the State fair
n the greatest In the history Of the
State. Not even the great corn show
was any more remarkable In Its ex-
hiofts. for what II now shown was
Made In South Carolina" Commits
sioner Watson has carried this
thought cut In the State building.
Not only does he show the grain In
the fullness thereof. but he shows the
live beef on the hoof. being fed upon
South Carolina raised produce; the
live hogs and the live chickens. being
given the proper ration Of food made
from South Carolina grain. Tho only
things In the South Carolina State
exhibit not made within the State are
the oils and drugs and other things
In the inspectors department.
Not only are the live animals shown
In the pens In the building. but there
u also hne object lesson In the
cured meats. and also In the prepara-
ton OF the grain for the use of man
nour. cornmeal and other fruits of
the roller mills. And there Ia the
homemade bread made of the home
ground -four. showing what the peo-
pie OF the State are really missing in
the way OF something delightful and
inexpensive. by sending away to the
Western markets for flour.
IN illustrating the other side Of
the question. the effort to find new
uses for cotton rather than to dis
card the old friend entirely. there is
In o case In the textile exhibit pair
OF sh oes made from cotton. the pro-
duct oi the ]. & M. shoe factory In
Boston. There Is q great nationwide
movement to find as many new uses
IN possible for cotton.

EMPTY N PAIL
Aids Check Forger In Passing Spur
ious Paper.

Sioux Falls, July 31.-Reversing
the full dinner pail" slogan which
has been such a campaign asset to
political parties in the past, a strang-
er who visited the city Tuesday found
the appearance of an empty dinner
pail which he carried in his hand, to
be a great help to him in inducing
business men in the city to cash
checks made out to him, presumably
for work he had done. The checks
were for small amounts although
several that he tried to pass called
for over $40 each.
He appeared at the stores and sa'
looms and easily succeeded in dispos'
ing of his worthless paper for cash
States Attorney Bergh has six of the
worthless checks, which were signed
with the name of the Larson Hard
ware Co. They were on the Sioul
Falls Savings bank and the hard
ware company does not carry an ac'
count at that bank. The checks
were made out to VIM. A. Gordon
and Endorsed with that name.
Efforts to locate the man when the
bogus checks began to show UP were
fruitless.
