One OF the striking incidents at the
grain elevator meeting yesterday was
that which occurred when J. Wade
Drake, the well known grain farmer,
called out q subscription OF $4,000 TO-
wards the stock OF the elevator.
]. Wade Drake knows what grain
will do. He hes seen It's results ia
his own business on his own farm, and
thus the one farmer In Anderson
county who knows more about grain
than any other farmer; who has had
more to do with grain, end knows Of
its results more than anyone else,
was the subscriber to the largest
amount OF stock sold yesterday.
What is the lesson?
That grain production has made
good in Anderson county and that its
leading exponent is so we'll pleased
vita: with "a. chs. ss, subscribed more
money to the stock OF the elevator en-
terprise than any other person. bust
ness man. farmer. banker. merchant,
In the whole county. J. Wade brakes

The Anderson daily intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1915, 1914-12-08
A GOOD START

The outcome OF the grain elevator
meeting at the court house yesterday
ought to be highly encouraging Ia
all. While the attendance, estimated
ct about 125. should have been larger
even considering the awful condition
OF the roads. and while there seemed
to be some who attended who were
reluctant to grasp the full meaning
of the elevator propaganda, the st1rn.
ing fact OF yesterdays meeting was
that all concurred in the conclusion
that. first, II Is absolutely necessary
that grain elevator be built at An.
derson. to handle the big expected
crop. and secondly that approximate
ly 100000 was subscribed. That is an
especially good beginning. and IL every
farmer and business man in Anderson
county is given an opportunity to sub
scribe to the stock. there can be NO
doubt but that the elevator will be
built, and that next year Anderson
countys first surplus grain crop will
have ready cash market here in the
county seat.
The Intelligenccr well krrows the
difficulty incident to working I'D a
stock company at this time, and ap-
preciates fully the reluctance some
may show in not subscribing as quick
ly as they might towards the capital
stock, but on the other hand, Ander-
son county has sown and Is sowing a
so per cent larger grain crop than any
other county in the State. and such
a large acreage indeed. that unless an
elevator Is at hand to handle, buy, and
sell. such grain as is offered, then the
grain planter is going to be in a bad
way.
The Intelligencer firmly believes
that the building of a grain elevator,
c. market and distribution system,
In Anderson county. is the present
great work before our whole people,
farmers and business men alike. and
we believe also that under the leader
ship of that splendid gentleman and
constructive builder, j. 8. Fowler. the
stock will. be sold, the elevator built,
and our farmers secure a cash market
for their grain next spring and sum-
mer.
The work has started; let every
body help; nothing is worth having
that costs no effort.
II will take o mighty effort on the
part of ali to carry through to sue
cessful consumation that great enter
prise, but II is worth 1t.

Conditions Becoming Normal

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Dec. T.
With shift in the wind from north
east to northwest, the gale which be-
gan Friday night and Saturday rolled
up the highest tide recorded In tide
water Virginia for decade, abated
this afternoon and tonight conditions
are rapidly becoming normal. The
tide at noon today. however, was al
most as high as On Saturday.
Although damage to the extent of
$4,000 Is said to have been done at
Ocean View in the sweeping away Of
a large part OF the bulkhead. under
mining OF cottages and loss OF small
boats. on this side of Hampton Roads
and Chesapeake Bay, 1t is thought
$4,000 will cover the total damage.
AT Buckroe Beach. a resort on Ches-
apeake Bay near Old Point, the break
water suffered considerable damage,
being washed entirely away in some
places and the bathing pavilion and
pleasure pier were seriously damag-
ed. Fishermen suffered in the loss of
poles for their pound nets, nearly all
of which were carried away. At Bay
Shore, a negro resort adjoining Buck
roe Beach, the hotel bath house and
several cottages were considerably
damaged.
Churchgoers Sunday used boats, i'm
proyised walkways and fence tops in
the water front section Of Hampton
and the employees OF the crab and oys-
ter packing factories were transport
ed 20 their work in small boats.
Reports Of the heaviest losses in
this section come from York County,
where much cattle and poultry were
drowned and crops washed away.
Many residents in this district were
forced to abandon their homes while
the tide was ut its height.
No additional reports or marine dis
asters came in today although news
OF that kind Is not expected until to-
morrow as the craft caught out in the
storm have been unable to make their
way In. The beach have been lined
with debris.

SHOULD NOT Be
BUILT IN j. S.
Building Of Submarines for BeIli-
gerents Violation of the Spirit
of Neutrality.
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-President
Wilson today expressed the opinion
through statement issued by Secre-
tary Bryan that the building OF sub
marines for any OF the belligerents Of
the present war would be contrary to
the spirit Of the neutrality Of the
United States.
The statement contained an an
nouncement that the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, Of which Charles NJ.
Schwab Is president. and which owns
the Fore River Shipbuilding Company.
had deferre dto the views of the pres
ident and did not intend to deliver
any submarines to the belligerents
during the present war.
The question of whether 1t is legal
for American firms to build subma-
rines for shipment In parts has not
been decided. High officials Of the
government think, however. that II the
case went to the courts they could
prove that the building of any great
number OF parts for submarine is
tantamount to "outfitting" warship.
which is expressly prohibited by
neutrality statutes Of the United
States. ~.
Secretary Bryan said today he felt
sure the presidents declaration would
deter shipbuilders from sending parts
Of submarines to Canada for ship
ment as had been reported. The fol-
lowing statement was issued by Mr..
Bryan which he said ended the incl
dent 80 far as the state department
was concerned:
when information reached the
state department that the Fore River
Company was planning to build a
number OF submarines for ono OF the
Allies. inquiry was made to ascertain
the facts. AS result of this Inquiry,
Mr.. Schwah called at the state depart
ment last week with his attorney and
laid before the department what his
company had planned to do, stating
that before undertaking the work he
had secured the opinion Of number
OF international lawyers and was
keeping within thetrequirements OF
neutrality as outlined by them.
II stated to him that the president.
basing his opinion upon information
already obtained. regarded the work,
spirit OF neutrality, but told him I
WOuiu lay uiS StdtetuSuI utIOTc LIE
president and then give him final
answer. q
ION Friday had o. conference with
the president and he instructed me to
inform Mr.. Schwab that his statement
only confirmed him In the opinion
previously formed that the subma-
rines should not be built. within D
few minutes after say Eetnrr, fro,n sha
White House. Mr.. Schwab called me
by long distance telephone and told
EN- that he submitted to the presi-
dents views OF the subject and that
I could announce that his firm would
not build submarines for any .belliger-
ent country for delivery during the
war. This closes the, submarine Incl

SEA BEIGHT, N. j.. Dec. 7.-Driven
by a 60-miIe gale from the northeast.
which had blow steadily for nearly 36
hours, the waters Of the Atlantic to-
night were pounding along the Jer-
gey coast. At Sea Bright today the
water broke over the bulkheads and
Ocean Avenue was flooded to q depth
OF from two to three feet. Crosstown
streets from the beach to the Shrews-
bury river were raging torrents.
Three cottages had been washed
away early tonight, and residents of
all others had moved out. It was
feared other houses might go at the
next tide. The Sea Bright beach club
building erected last year at a cost
OF about $4,000. was undermined and
was expected to collapse. The dam
age here thus far Is estimated at $70,-
900.
