To Do Something

The hal, has been worse in some
counties than in Anderson. In some
sections Of Anderson It has been Sc

that would have produced thousands
of dollars. Senator Smith,, some of
the congressman and Gov. Biaase

tie good people in other counties whc'
have suffered such heavy loss. i
The people of Anderson are not
beggers and It may not be that they
will require any assistance. but we

the heavy losses in this county last
week, especially in the Mt Tabor
section, west Of the city; in tho Nc
Carley section six miles south OF the
city and on the L. ID. Harris place.,
between Anderson and Williamson.
