Anderson's Showing.
From the very first It appeared that
Richard I. Manning would carry An
dorson county. He received a good
vdto at tho cotton mills' and In the
country and swept tho towns where
he.Je known personally.
The county ticket was interesting
in its developments. Wyatt Aiken ran
away with Dominlck, carrying every
county ' in the district, including An
derson,,
G. N.. C. Boleman, for many years
county auditor but for several years
out of politics, dofeated for county
treasurer Dr. W. A. Trlpp, an ap
poihteo of Gov. Blease.
J. Mack King, another appointee of
the governor, appeared In tho earlier
returns to bo defeated but later he
cain& from behind and now it appears
will be elected by about 75 or 100
votes.
Some good men were elected and
some good men were defeated in the
commissioners' race.
The legislative delegation will prob
ably'consist of J. L. Shernrd, senator;
.7no. T. West, $. A. - Burns, Geo. M.
Heed. P.-ufua Fant, Jr.,. J. H. Hutchl
son and Sara M. Wolfe. There are
two boxes to be heard from which
may put W. W. Scott in, but It is
hardly probable.
If the present delegation, Scott,
Gray and Kelson, have been defeated:
Summers offered for the senate;
Ashley and Hall did not seek another
term.

WILL APPEAL TO
PRESIDENT WILSON
Railroad Presidents Will Submit
Plan For Increase In Rates
During War
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 8.?A commit
tee of railroad presidents will appeal
directly to President Wilson tomor
row to assist them in devising means
for tiding over the dlmcultie? they
say have grown out of the wi r in
Europe. They are prepared to lay
before Mr, Wilson facts and figures
tending to show that the war in Eu
rope has made it practically impos
sible to raise additional funds.
The president already has indicated
a receptive attitude by this tacw
agreement to the postponment of th*
railroad! securities bill until next ses
tlon to avoid embarrassir.r,* the rail
roads for increased rates, but that he
considers that he has no right to
interfere with the Jurisdiction of the
interstate commerce commission.
The conference was arranged at tho
request of the railroad men, and the
committee which is to see the Presi
dent is undorstood to represent prac
tically every largo railroad in the
country.
NO BREAD FAMINE.
There will be no bread famine in
the United States this year. The larg
est wheat crop in history has Just
been harvested and according to the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, the total production 1b approxi
mately 911,000,000 bushels; nearly
150,000,000 bushels more than any pre
vious crop produced In the United
.States. Wo have at leaat 350,000.000
bushels of wheat which are not needed
for consumption at home or for seed,.
Tho surplus production of the United
Statea usually goes to Europe, but
under present conditions, cauaed by
the European war, this cereal cannot
cross the ocean. About 76,000.000
buBhels have already been taken for
export, but most of It is being held at
the porta of Oepartun*.
Conditions across che water are not
so encouraging. vYur In Europe tends
to prevent the shipment of when;.:
from surplus European countries to
those which need Imports?for exam

"And whereas, in this, as In all
things, it 1b our privilege and duty
to seek counsel und succor of Almigh
ty God, humble ourselvoB before Him,
confessing our weakness and our lack
of wisdom to these things.
"And whereas, it is our especial

fearing persons to repair on that day
to their places of worship, there to
unite in their petitions to Almighty
God, that overruling 'the counsel of
men, setting straight the things they
cannot govern or alter, taking pity on
the nations now in the throes of con
flict, in His mercy and goodness show
ing a way where men can see hone.
He vouchsafes his children healing
peace again and restore once more that
concord among men men and nations
without which there can be neither
happiness nor truo friendship, nor any
wholesale fruit or tdll or thought in
the world; praying also that He for
give us our Bins, our ignorance of His
holy will, our wilfulness and,many er
rors'.'and .lead us unto the' paths ?f
obedience to places of vision and to
thoughts and counsels that purge and
make wise.
"In witness whereof, I have hereun
to sat my hand and seal of the United
States to be affixed.

' SUFFERED LOSS
INCENDIARY FIRE?
Home Valued at About $5,000
Burned to Ground?Insurance
of About $3,000 on Building
fProiu Wednesday's Dally.)
Tlie handsome home of .Miss Essie
Cllnkscales in Martin township was
entirely destroyed by iire yesterday
morning. The lire occurred between
"> and (i o'clock und while breakfast
was being prepared. Misa Cllnkscales
had already arisen before the blaze
was discovered.
When the blaze was discovered Miss
Cllnkscales1 gave the alarm and sue.
ceeded in rummoning several of lier
neighbors, as- a result of which much
of the lino furniture in the house wus
suved. although a quantity of furni
liure stored in the second atory of the
house was lost. The house was val
ued at approximately $"?,000 but it is
understood that tho owner carried in
surance of $3,000 on the building. The
house was a large brick building, two
stories, and was ono of the nicest in
the neighborhood.
Miss Cllnkscales is of the opinion
that the tire was of incendiary origin
She says that she distinctly ehiera
bers closing and locking the door last
night when she retired and when she
arose this morning she found the
front door open. The ilre <ould not
have started from n flue as it seems
to have originated In a tlDSit, remov
ed from any proximity to a chiinny cr
flue. Miss Cllnkscales is convinced
that some one forced open the front
door during tho night, knowing that
she and her cook were the only peo
ple In the' house.
One reason why It was possible to
save so much of the furniture whs lhst
Mi sr. Clinkscilfis had prepared to
move to Anderson to make her home
and had everyhting packed up, pre
paratory to moving to town W-adne?
day. She hndrentod her place lo a
Mr. McDonald'?:nml he was to take
charge Wednesday. In all probability
the - matter will be referred to the
Anderson county officers and they will
be asked to make an Investigation, in
an' effort to determine .whether the
Are was of- -incendiary origin.

New York, Sept. 9.?The more op
timistic feeling noted in local cotton
trade circles yesterday was even more
in evidence today and seemed to be
largely oasea on the reports of a bet
ter tone In tue southern spot mar
kets. Handlers of spot cotton said
that their private advices from the
south as well as the offert/ that were
being received by New England mills
suggested that southern shippers are
becoming less' panicky as to the prob
able effect of Increasing supplies, ow
ing to the measures that were being
taken to relieve the immediate .neces
sities ?f needy planters and to facili
tate tue holding movement.
"Buy a Bale" clubs' are said to be
forming, all.over tho south, while rap
Id progress is also ' reported In tho
work of building warehouses, and
many reports indicate that farmers
are either holding cotton in the seed
or hauling It back from the gin.
" ' So far but little Improvement has
has. been reported in demand. Canad
ian mills are said to be'buying con
siderable cotton and. there nave been
moderate purchases for export ..

There was not Inj Anderson any
man more full of public spirit than
Feaster V. Tribble. He took great
pride In his- .public, services. A little
more than a year .He unaided' worked
up a convention which was attended
by possibly 2C0 Georgians .who came
here to do what they could to get the
interurban railway extended to At

He made the national record this
year in the T. P. A. membership con
test. He took a lively interest in get
ting the Blue Ridge to extend the gas
electric service to Seneca, and he was
always on the alert and was planning
a big convention for the T. P. A. of
Anderson this fall in order to wel
come the national secretary. Mr.
Tribble was proud of his work as" a
