THE PUBLIC Library

We do not approve Of the tone of
the letter of hr. Broyles. Anderson
Is not nearly the uncouth place that
he imagincs. The editor of this pa
per has about as wide and as inti-
mate an acquaintance of the state as
has our correspondent, and we wish
to give testimony to the effect that An
derson has about as much real refine
ment and literary culture as any ether
city In the state. There Is a lot of We
neer and superficiality sometimes that
Is taken for culture. but Anderson has
the substantial kind
We agree with Mr.. Broyles that the
public library must be maintained.
but we are not quick to criticise the
city council until all OF the facts are
known. These gentlemen have some
serious problems to puzzle over and
until they show an unwillingness to
consult with and to defer to the think
Ing people. we are not ready to con-
denim their action. 1t may be that
the council would like to have some
representation In the matter OF pur-
chasing reading matter.
We understand tnas the library as
sociation officially, the Civic associa-
sion and other organizations will ap-
peal to council to reconsider its 40
ton. We feel sure that council will
hear the petitioners and will do what
10 right.
Anderson is essentially a city Of
homes and OF home life, and on the
book shelves in the homes of this city
will be found the answer to Mr.. Broy-
les letter. But 1t is true that we
need a public library for those who
cannot buy books. The public library
should be a place of community inter-
est.

COTTON FOR PREMIUMS

A matter which has been puzzling
a number Of people Is the legality of
accepting cotton yarn in payment of
life insurance. There is said to be
state law against accepting anything
except legal tender in payment of In.
surance. and Fred. w. Felkel, general
agent of the Atlantic Life Insurance
Company. has made inquiry of the
state insurance commissioner, r. H.
Mchfaster. who has replied as follows:
Il see no reason why the insurance
companies and agents ahould not &C.
cept cotton on q ten per ceat basis in
payment Of premiums on insurance.
There is good reason to believe
that cotton will probably be worth
more than that, especially Il the crop
OF next year can be reduced in size as
compared with the past production. At
any rate the exegencies of the case
and the general methods of doing bus
mess OF today seem to warrant me in
saying that there is no violation of the
law In agents and insurance compa-
MES accepting the cotton on q ten
per cent basis for payment of pre-
miums."
This may be Of great help to the
people of the state. for insurance is ons
form OF investment that should not be
allowed to stop. and the man who
cannot pay his premiums is indeed
the creature OF misfortune.
The general agents and local ag-
ents who are financially able might
DO all they could to assist a policy
holder. but in cases where there 10 no
money to be had. even their good in
tentions In the matter might be OF no
use.

"BUF A BALE'

The movement to Buy a Bale" is
gaining strength in some sections OF
tine state. A regular state organiza-
tion has been perfected in Columbia.
The executive committee consists OF
August Kohn, chairman; r. B Stack
house, A. Mason Gibbes, j. S. Huff
man. b. w. Ravenel and w. G. Null
lins.
The committee has sent to the edi-
tor of The Intelligencer the follow
ing cali to the citizens of Anderson,
explaining the purpose of the organi-
zation:
"The South has got TO help itself
to some extent in the present situation.
1t will not do to sacrifice our cotton
crop. There Is no use for us to argue
with the buyers as to what cotton is
worth.
There was organized in Columbia
yesterday Ten Cents Per Pound Cot
ton Association. The purpose of this
organization is to get our home peopi.
as well as those who are Interested
In South Carolina to buy for cash
strict middling cotton at 10 cents per
pound. and, and then have the buyer
hold 1t for year or as long a time
as may be necessary for the cotton
to be actually worth that price on the
market.
1T might be worth our while to
bear in mind that the average price of
cotton for the past five years has been
more than IL cents Per pound. Those
who actually buy cotton for the good
OF our state on this 10 cents per pound
basis are not likely to lose money
and are actually going to render
great service to the farming interests.
"The purpose of the association Is
to buy cotton from those who are In
need Of cash With which to pay for
the picking, the baling of cotton and
b. necessities of life, and not buy
from those who are themselves able
to hold the cotton.
We nave 6lTeduy ldu some eXDe-
rience in Columbia, and bought on tn.
first day Of the movement one hun
dred bales Of cotton, which, as you
appreciate, has put not less than S.
900 into circulation. Th's is the circu
lation OF real money doing un-
told good. We have no desire. nor
would we be able to handle from CO.
lumbia statewide movement of this
kind, but we wish to impress upon
you the actual good that can be ac-
complished in Anderson without hurt
to any one. and to urge the practica-
bility of the Buy Bale of Cotton"
movement.
"1f there Is any information or any
suggestion, as a result Of our actuaY
experience, that we can offer you. It
will be our pleasure to serve you in
any way possible. but the point that
we wish to urge is prompt action, and
the organization of such movement
In your county. which will be of very
material assistance at this time"
