In the current Issue of Farm and
Fireside tho national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield. O., the state
ment is made that it is rather odd that J
after two centuries of teaming in the
United States we have no typical
American draft horse One of tho best
horses of bis inches is an American
breed?the Morgan; and. the Amerl
:an trotter surpasses all other horses
for his special purpose. We oclll im
port our drafters from. Europe, bow.
ever. In the following extract from the j
editorial on the subject facts are
brought out. with relation to experi
ments now going on., to. relieve this
situation:- ' j
"It Is scarcely to be exported that the ]
will bo xoupd exactly adapted, to

sts?tly maintained by imported horses.
Whatever the truth may be as to this-,
the United States government has
thought it worth while'.to enter upon
the task of establishing an American j
breed. - The Werk is In progress at
Ames, la., under tho management of j
George M Bommel, of . the United ;
States bureau of animal industry, and
De?n C. F. Curtiss, of the'IOwn Agri

EXPOSITION NOT
TO BE DELAYED
Panama Exposition Will Be Held
In San Francisco On Dates As
At First Planned
(From Saturday's Daily.)
For a time it was fearod that thu
war in the foreign countries would in
terfere with the Panama exposition,
which is to bo held in San Francisco
and some even feared that the expo
sition might never be held, but it
seem?, that all theuc fears arc ground
less, Judging from a telegram recclv.
ed in Anderson yesterday. CharleB C.
Moore of San Francisco, general sec
retary of tlio exposition^ yesterday
telegraphed to W. B. Sullivan of Co
lumbia, . manager of the South Caro
lina exposition committee, in whicn
the San Francisco man arsured Mr.
Sullivan that the exposition 1b to be
held and that there will be no post
ponement of dales. He makes thu
positive statement that the exposition
will opon in February, t915.
Mr. Mnorn *.iys in his telegram that
the E'.ropean var, Instead of hurting
the exposition will help It, because of
thy fact that the thousands of Amer
icans to be found at all seasons of ev
ery year traveling in Europepn coun
tries, will be unable to make the trip
in 1915 and will therefore remain at
homo und attend the exposition, insur
ing a much larger attendance.
The telegram also pays that only
five of the 37 foreign countries- to be
represented ?t the exposition are now
at war and that probably three of
these and possibly all five, w'iil send
their exhibits anyway. '
Mr. Moore Bays that this is a splen
did opportunity for American manu
I .facturcre to impress the foreign
countries with the worth of the artl
Icles they manufacture and that the
I displays to bo sent to tho exposition
should bo twice as elaborate on that
account.

WANTS TAYLOR PLAN
TRIED IN ANDERSON
WILMINGTON PEOPLE ARE
AT WORK
COTTON SITUATION
Chamber of Commerce of That
City Says That Taylor Ha?
Solved Problem of South
The Anderson chamber of commerce
received an official communication |
yesterday from M. J. Corbett, presi
dent of the Wilmington chamber of
commerce at Wilmington, N. C, In
which 1b cacloBod a detailed copy of
tbo D. A. Taylor cotton plan, which
provides for the holding of cottou
and shows how it may bo done. This
letter also outlined tbo meeting of
Augut-t 8 at which tlmo tlths plan was
recommended to the farmers of North
j Carolina for their consideration and
! adoption. Tho Taylor plan has been j
endorsed by tho bankers and busl- !
nens men. as well as farmerb. in alt
parts of North Carolina and tho pres
ident of the Wilmington chamber of
commerce eoemr to believe tnat It
will bo equally successful if tried in
this Stato.
The plan is tc store the cotton In
bonded warehouses and in rural ware
houses wherever possible. Where
there Is no rural warehouse tho cot
ton Is to be placed In the bonded
warehouses In the city. Through the
government action tho secretary will
then extend tbo currency law to tho
Stato banks tiud trust companies
through tho l?*go city National banks
and then in turn tho stato br.uks will
lend direct to tho fe rner. ' .
The plan- provides for a wide dis
tribution of the rural warehouse, "vnd
in those rural warehouses tho plan
advises that one-half " of tho crop ho
stored and the other half bo mar
keted. "The p??Di ai au provides that
whero the. warehouses aro covered
with wobH, that this covering bo re
placed with metal and If there la a
rural section without a warehouse tho
plan provides for planters getting to
gether and borrowing monoy from tho
local banks with which, to erect sdeh
a building.
The Wilmington .people say that
they have given the plan very careful
consideration and can flrt'd no flawe in
It and do not believe thit the farmers
of South Carolina can try any better
method of meeting tho situation face
to face. 'm ' *
