Is tlu» South to» much alarmed uv-r thu war situation? Our people are

naturally peaaiinlatlu about their cropsanil Ulla war emergency baa put every-thing 1» a fog of "Hie bitte«." ThoKreat trouble in the South Is the unex-pei tednesH of this new trouble whiehIn Us titanic proportions and stupen-dous sweep has dazed the most daringtinancier of America, caught In theiruiiprepnrediiesH.The Augusta Chronicle carries an

interesting statement from ConyersWoolsey, "one of tlie most progressiveplanters of Alken county," who hasJust returned from Europe. He sailedfrom England on the 2t>th of August.

In England he states, buslnesaconditions are not ns muchdisturbed, although Great Britainis at war, as they are in the South-ern part of thin country. Themills and factories are still in op-eration, ami. except for increasedprices of food products and someexcitement, one would hardly re-alize that Croat Britain was lock-ed In the tremendous war with theallies against Germany and Aus-tria-Hungary.It seems to us that now la the time

for the United Stutes. Let the wet 1thof the North back up our cotton mills,let the cotton mills back up tho farm-er; aud after this crisis is passed, thewhole country will be richer nndstronger. Hut Just as surely as theNorth, through any idea of injuringPresident Wilson, bo indifferent to theSouth in this crisis, Just so surely willthe country as a whole suffer fromsuch a short-sighted policy. TheSouth may be givon a Bet back thatwill require 20 years to overcome, orthe South may mako greater strldeoin the next two years than she has intho last generation, as great as havebeen the achievements within thattime.

HAVE YOU BOUGHT A BALE I

Members of the board of directors ofthe chamber of commerce as indi-viduals have approved tho plan tostart a campaign here for each personwho can afford it to buy a bale ofcotton at the rate of 10 cents perpound. The proposition has not beenformally worked out, we understand,but will be at once, and the Idea is tohave a certain number of bales agreedupon as this city's quota, and no one*will be required to live up to theagreement unlesB the entire numberof bales to be bought it! Blgned up.However, some of tho business menhave gone ahead buying the cotton onthis basis. B. O. Evans & Co., yes-terday bought and stored two balespf coiton.A gentleman from Columbia, who

was here last night stated that themovement had started with a rushthere and that many bales of cottonare standing around In the storedoors. <

What is called a "Buy a Bale" move-ment has been inaugurated in differ-ent sections of tho south and is spread-ing rapidly. According to the plan in-dividuals and business houses buy abale or more of cotton at ten cents perpound and store it for higher prices.Only one bale 1b bought from eachperson so that the benefits will bedivided between a large number. Theofficers and employes of banks aretaking a leading part In the movement,twenty seven oiheers and employes ofthe National Loan and Exchange Bankof Columbia, each buying a bale on thostreets of Columbia yesterday. Thous-ands of bales are being bought Inthis way in Georgia. Every balehelps.

THE HELTON BOOSTERS

We understand that there is to boqulto an Invasion of Anderson today.a party of live follows boosting theapproaching fair at Belton. Justwhy the Belton fair requires "boost-ing" we do net know, for all who haveattended the fairs given in our hust-ling neighbor town know that theyhave always come up to to and exceed-ed representations of the press agents.

Belton is ideally located for a bigfair and the exhibits each yoar are o5the very best and are representative oftho finest things that the soil of Ander-son produces. The woman's depart-ment is also a great success everytime.We feel sure that the Belton fair will

be better than ever this year, andthat the people who gather there wi>,be In good humor, despite the mannerIn which the people ok Europe are fly-ing at each other's throats and inciden-tally putting down the price of cottonhere.,When the "boosters" arrive today we

trust that .the people of Andersonwill come to their doors and give arousing reception to our wide-awake,progressive and sensible neighbors.This fair la kept up by annual sub-scription and has no .-venue.

Anderson County FarWise Will Not be C

Sam Wilson or Brushy Crock, whoIs here for court week in a farmer ofextensive Interests. There are per-haps as many as a thousand personsdependent upon him. directly and Indi-rectly, on his farms. Mr. Wilson saysthe war is not bothering him or hisneighbori!. He produces all of themeat and bread that lie needs and re-quires his renters to do the same.He is one of the most successful far-mers in the whole country, und hebelieves in making the soil yield ev-erything to supply the wants of man.and the surplus is for profit only.Mr. Wilson patronizes the roller millat Easluy and has n loi of flour ground.

S. It. Tims of Piorcotown wus a visi-tor to the city yesterday and he hadan announcement of great interest.He is overhauling the old TIiub mill onSix and Twenty and will be preparedto turn out a barrel and a half offlour per hour. This farm has" beentn the possession of the Tims familytor 110 years, or to be exact, sincethe first of the family came to Pierce-town and located on Six and TwentyIn 1780. ,

"Sam" TimB, as his name indicates,is of Irish descent and he is Iris,,through and through. Ho loves hisjoke und he loves the open life, but heis a good business man. He raiseshogs, cattle, wheat, corn and a littlebit of cotton. Ho states that whileneighbors plant too much cotton, hethinks, yet there Ib a lot of wheatplanted, and ho wishes to see themplant Just about ten times as muchnext year. He thinks that no man inhis section of the country ought tobuy anythihg to put on the table.Coffee and sugar are all that he has tobuy. "Sam TimB' graham flour" hasquite a reputation in Anderson countyand is highly recommended by somedoctors. He has a process of re-grind-ing it. The mill begun operations onthe lOih of August, 1854, 60 years ago,and has turned out many a barrel of

THE DEBTOBS'S DEBTS

As was stated some time ago, thebanking houses of tho city are ready,ns they alvays have been, to holp thsdepressed, and will carry over foranother year 60 per cent of the paperin their vaults, provided some way ismade to retire 40 por cent.With two and one half millions of

dollars of assets in our fields, at preft-ent rate of computation, it does seemthat some way could be started totake care of the poorer people and toput some money into circulation.Debts cannot be paid unless there isBome money In circulation. Creditis good in the south, but there is ver?,little money in actual circulation.This is due to the IndefiniteneBS of thefuture rather than to any actual ap-prehension.We have received a letter asking

thot rhote who hold mortgages andpast duo scrips of indebtedness with-hold the foreclosure and give the deb-tor ah opportunity. We feel that suchan appeal is absolutely unnecessary.What the banking housoB of the cityarc working for Is the prosperity andhappiness of all- the people, and notmerely to get all of the money out ofdebtors. However, something is dueto the bank which has to borrow themoney and we quotq as interesting attlds ''me the following sentence fromthis lutter:

"The debtor is bound by honor andgratitude to pay his past-due debts, oras much of It as possible."There comes times to the moneylender when he is eywpelled to bavo

money. His family inu.it live andthe ec&i of living touches him as baruas it does other people.

"In short, the sp!r:t of the t inu bshould be a d?«t>-e to help one an-other. The man who presses hisneighbor at a time like this will rueit in the daya to come, and tlu ualnprwho withholds payment when he laable to pay, will find that he has Injur-ed hlmBcif more than he haa his cred-itor."

WILL 'CSE SUBSTITUTE*

1'lan frojeried to Use Cotton BaggingInstead of Importing Jnte.(By Associated Press.)

Atlanta,.Qa., Sept, 9..The substitu-tion of cotton for jute bagging..to pro-vide, for the consumption of-one mil-lion bales, was the plan outlined heretoday at the conference of businessmou from several. southern states,The statement was made that largeshipping concerns throughout thesouth already have taken up the. mat-ter on account of tho Increase In theprice of jute, a product of India, andit was declared one fertiliser concernis trying to place an order for fiftymillion yards of cotton bagging tosubstitute for- the Jute heretoforeused.The' conference was called to per-fect plans for the organization of s

national cotton consuming associa-tion.. Ws C. Mansfield of Atlanta wainamed permanent chairman;

Hour. It Is being groat It improvednow.One trouble about farmers getting

disheartened about planting wheat,says Mr. Titus. 13 the fact that they]do no! plant properly. They do notprepare tho ground right, and do notplant at the right time. He says thatthe ground .should be broken up andharrowed. The time to sow is a dayor two before the full moon in No-vember.Another institution of which Mr.

Tims is proud is t he Melton academyin his community. He says that HwiH do especially tine work this year.People in his country live a long timeand the general health is fine. Justthis week they buried an old negro]who lived to be 108.

S. M. Johnson, of Liberty, No.while on a visit to the city declaredthat what his section needs is an au-tomobile truck line operating to andfrom Anderson. He suggests that iths^'o a regular schedule Just as the oldstage coaches had, and promines Mintif such a thing should be instituted it[would be a great success. While thepassenger business might be consid-erable, he recommends as the principlefeature the stimulating impulse Itwould give to tlto marketing of thecountry produce. Mr. Johnson saysthat he proposes to go extensively Intothe planting of Irish potatoes himself,and many of his neighbors couldmarket in Anderson their eggs andbutter. His neighbor, Henry Martin,this summer had 1,000 fruit treesbearing and has preserved thousandsof cans of fruit. Mr. Johnson has'watched with interest the institutingof the truck Une sysem between Anderson and Townville, and he snysthat such a venture would bo a.greatthing for the people of his section,and would be sure t0 be;«-'paying in-vestment. He jtËWMffioyathe fan-ers that haa ^HHK|| on, hisown farm, nnd sorho' of his ifejghbofa.are doing likewise.

BUY-A-BALE JEfcAJf. GROWSMason Glbbes Wohld Enlarge Its

8c°pe.Knuts Cyme Forward.Columbia State. : ; ''''

If the plan of A. Mason Glbbes,president of the Glbbes Machinerycompany. Id made effective, the scopeof thG buy-a-bale-of-cotton movementwill be broadened until it embracesthe whole of the United States. Mr.Glbbes suggested yesterday thr.t busi-ness" men of the South call on theirconnections in the .North, East andWest to join the rnovement and helpthe cotton growers In tho presentemergency by purchasing ono or morebales of cotton at a minimum price ot10 cents per pound.To further the plan advanced byMr. Glbbes, a mass meeting will tie

held today at noon at Craven hall.Business men, professional men,farmers and traveling men are invit-ed to be present. It is expected thatthe mass meeting today will takesteps to enlist the support of all com-mercial organizations in the South towiden the scope of tu.i'buy-arbale.of-cotton movement. The men behindthe movement hope that enough cot-ton will be purchased by individualsand firms at the minimum price of 10cents a pound, about what, it costs togrow It, to enable farmers to paytheir most pressing' obligation a andget in a position to hold a good partof their crop.

Glbbes' PBw.A." Mason Gibbes Was asked last

night by The State for a statement inregard to his plan."My Idea is that every firm In Co-

iuinbi". mall circulars to its connec-tions, csking them to buy a bale otcotton at 10 cents per pound," saidMr. Glbbes. "The circulars shouldalso contain ih« request that the con-nections of Columbia Arms send cir-culars In their turn to their connec-tions, asking them to join the bny-a-bale movement. If we can get auendless chain of circulars, going tobusiness men all over the country themovement, whose object Is- to relievethe farmer of his most pressing obli-gations by paying biro cost for hiscotton.""In widening tho scope of the buy-

a-bale movement. huSlneM men of .theSouth will simply be asking thé busi-ness' men of the North and West fromwhom they buy goods ' to help' savethe cotton crop and tho fanners'pockotbook," continued: Mr. Glbbes*,"The matter should be taken up withevery chamber of .commerce, andevery commercial organization In theSouth."
