Proceeding upon the principle
that "the Lord helps those who

ning the "buy*-halo" movement
at home Sumter merchants were
early to realise that It was too
splendid a thin* to keep at home.
On his own Initiative, Mr. E J,

ber of Commerce, prepared and
had printed a circular letter which,
accompanied by personal letters,
the business houses sent out to
jobbers. manufacturers and
wholesalers throughout the north

How Proposition Is Met.
It was Just last Thursday that
Mr J K Ooswrell of Pros
well * Company, received from
R l\ Williams A Company, wholesale
grocers of New York, s check for 91,-
450, with which to buy S 9 hales. R. C.
Williams A Co responded to the
Sumter invitation by organising
among the employes of that firm what
they called the "Hudson Street Ruy-a
-Bale Movement." etihacrtblng for 19
l-ates a* 19 cents
The betkWr nte Casting Company,
of Brooklyn, sent to Sumter a check

two da\s the McKtnnon-Dash Co., of
Brooklyn has bought one hale, and
the Toledo Scale Co. of Toledo O.

The Chamber of Commerce of

Commerce letters among Its mem-
I-era and from this ngency good
results ore bound to com* Hon.
Seth la>w# la proatdent of the
New York elate organisation,
which attests Its Interest In the
movement not only by sending out
the Sumter circulars, but by
sending them out at It* own **-

the'huy- a-bale” movement with tak
ing cotton on account at ID cent*,
some notable things are being done
here to help business and to relieve
the situation not only In Su inter but
elsewhere.
Will Discount Customer*’ Notes
Manufacturering Co. have ad
vised their customer* throughout
the country that their factory,
which i* located here, will accept
cotton wareshouse receipt* at

agree to have customer** note*

Mr. E L. Witherspoon, presi
dent of the company, state* that
liis company haa $50,000 in cash to
back up this proposition andthat
lie would rather carrry the ac
counts in ills safe than to carry the
shoes In stock. The offer 1* made too
in order to preclude any possi
bility of the factory closing down.
Mr. Witherspoon has received
check* from northern business
< oticern* with which to buy 14

10,000 Bales Wanted by one Firm.
The Sumter Dry Goods Co., through
it* officer*. Messrs. G. A. Lemmon and
T. 11. Clark have begun taking cotton
tip to 10,0U0 hales at 10 cents, and the
Booth Boyle Live Stock Company are
advertising that $50,000 worth of cot
ton will l»e taken on a ten cent basis,
the cotton to be applied on accounts.
The D. J. ('handler Clothing Cora
pan will take 1,500 bales on thin basis
if offered by lamer*.
Chamber of Commerce Active.
Realizing that because of the ser
iousness of tha situation which the
smith was forced to meet a central
force at work in Sumter could accomp
lish more than any unorganzed move
ment could hope for., the, the Sum
ter Chamber of Commerce took the
reins. First putting the "buy a bole'*
movement in motion hi home through
«o-operation with tlie Retail Dealer*'
Association, then extending the cam-
I ai*n beyond the Mason and Dixon
Dine, tlie tnfdc body reached out fur
ther and has directed it* activities in
a manner through wiuch it may be
assured that the cotton acreage will
be curtailed In this section next year.
The Sumter I'hamber of Commerce
has Mucceded admirably in it* efforts
exerted in the past to bring the city
and the country closer together, con

Every Saturday a meeting of the
county division of the southern cotton
congress ah held at the court house in
Sumter. Rankers, merchant*, farmers
and manufacture** attend, and all
preach holding cotton, reducion of

country, w hich ha* been organized by

Farmer* Pledge Themaelvee to
Cut.
Sumter's cotton acreags will be
reduced at least 31 13 per cent in
1915. This estmate Is based not
uopon anybody's guess, but upon
more than 40ti pledges already
signed by farmes -to reduce and
diversify, to begin to make this
a gram ami a live stock country
and to get ready for the boli
wofvtl. The work of securing
pledges from the farmers has only
fairly begun, and it is expected
that enough will be secured to cut
the cotton crop acreage! half tn two
next vear.
Woking for Grain Elevator.
The chamber of commerce is now
working toward securing for Sumter
a roller mill and a grain elevator, and
judging from it* accomplishments In
the recent past. If the farmers will
produce the grain there ts every cas
on to believe the effort will meet with
success
During the present year, though the

Keith Vaudeville Opens Bijou Oct. sth
A constant clamor for good Keith
Vaudeville caused the Bijou manage
ment to make a trip to New York to
interview the hooking agents of the
lug circuits to see what four acts of
genuinely good vaudevillp could 1.0
had for.
Augusta will be on the circuit with
Nashville, Chattanooga Charleston.
Savannah, etc., anrf will be assured
of high-prico acts. Many extraordi
nary vaudeville acts are coming to
this country from Europe, cancelling
contracts there and the quality will
HF increased by the influx. The acts
the Bijou will offer are costly,indeed,
but the management is optimistic for
the season, ns in nearly all of the
betetr class vaudeville theaters’ busi
ness is good—better than last season
at this time.
The Bijou lobby will be made very
attractive and inviting, full announce
ment of which will be made later.
The photo-plays at the Bijou will
be of the usual high standard and the
very latest subjects will be shown, as
no expense will he spared to make the
entire program of the highest stand
ard.
On the opening bill a big novelty
is announced in presenting a Chinese
the buya bale'' plan not more than
1.000 bales hate been sold.
Jl is hsrdly necessary to say. that
with so great s production of cotton,
Blunter county farmers, although they
grow a great deal of corn and harvest
large bay crops, are in great measure
dependent upon the western farmer
Jor meat and grain. The farmer who
produces enough meat for home con
sumption and lo sell is the exception
rather than the rule. If there is no
market here at present for cotton at
satisfactory p rices, there is a large
and nnanpplied local demand for poul
try and eggs and for other poducts of
the farm which have been neglected
in the over pod uettom of cotton. In
the light of these facts the signing of
Pledges by the farmers to cut their
cotton acreage and to turn to produc
ing grains and grasses, meat and meat
products, food stuffs and feed stuffs
important and augurs well for the fu
ture
In the meantime the holding move
ment is on, firmly groundrocked,
with Ihe seven hanks in Sumter ready
lo extend paper on warehouse receipts,
the two national banks having applied
for their full quota of emergency cur
rency merchants taking cotton on
account or accepting it in exchange
for goods at 10 cents, and backed by
Ihe “buya bale" movement which has
made such a splendid beginning.
Distinction and a Difference.
It wax impressed upon me by Mr.
Rearden, the man who as secretary of
the chamber of commerce, is directing
the campaign, that no effort has been
made to-confuse the cost purchase of
cotton st 10 cents a pound with the
acceptance of cotton at 10 cents when
taken In trade or on account. Mr.
Reardon is daily receiving, letters
from people who seek Information
about the cost of storing and Insuring
cotton, • which leads him to the belief
that many more bales will be brought
itere by business iteople in New York.

HULSE STEAM LAUNDRY
TO HAVE NEW ELECTRIC
SIGN—OTHER IM
PROVEMENTS
The Hulse Steam Laundry Com
pany will soon erect an electric sign
at their office on Jackson Street that
will startle and electrify the whole
community by its beauty and bril
liancy.
Never mind the description, but
wait till you see the sign. Nothing
surpassing its dazzling beauty or ap
propriate significance is to be found
in the larger cities.
It costs a great sum, but it will
make Jackson Street a scene of an
imation and life rivalling the fa
mous beauty spots in the cities of the
old country. So look out for the great
sign.
Hearing some of the under talk —
the grapevine telepathy as it were —
Mr. Frank Hulse,, Sr., was seen and
asked if he contemplated any big im
provements. He admitted that in ad
dition to the big sign that would soon
shed its radiance over Jackson Street,
there were other and material im
provements going on out at the plant.
The first thing that strikes on en
tering, is that everything is perfectly
clean and sanitary; the floors are all
oiled except in the wash room and
places where water is liable to splash
or drip, which are of concrete.
Another very noticeable thing
throughout the plant is the suction
Hot Air System, by means of which
all the hot air is taken off and pure,
l'resh air Is taken in, thereby ensuring
a pleasant, wholesome breeze This
is a very great improvement over the
old way where no provision was made
for creating a draft and is much ap
preciated by the operatives, especial
ly in warm weather.’
The Big Flatwork Ironer.
The Hulse Steam Laundry hak just
installed a Flatwork Ironer, a huge
machine weighing seventeen tons that
requires six hands to operate to its
full capacity. This is the largest, the
most complete and the most costly
machine of the kind ever brought to
Augusta.
And it is of the latest model, with
all the latest improvements, turning
out the finest work and operating with
the grektest ease.
Since last year there has been add
ed another large extractor, that dries
clothes by centrifugal force, making a
total of five now in operation.
Two new washing machines have
also been added, making a total of
nine. They have also recently in
stalled a new Prosperity Collar Molder
which insures you against cracked
collars and gives you an ample tie
slide space with a perfect fit, be
sides lengthening the life of a collar.
There never has been & machine like
it in Augusta before.
Another Universal Press has been
added to the equipment. This ma
chine presses ladies' garments to a
finish.
The Hulse Steam Laundry Com
pany are sparing neither pains nor
expense, in anticipating the wants of
the trade and putting in new and up
to-date machinery to please and satis
fy their customers.
Make Their Own Gas.
They are large consumers of gas
and it was deemed from an economical
standpoint, expedient to have their
own gas plant installed, which was
done under the approval of the insur
ance people.
The boiler that furnishes this big
esatblishment is of one hundred
horsepower, tt ts fed from wells dug
on the premises, ensuring a never
falling supply of good water. Thus
their customers are assured of getting
their work done on time, with no fear
of interruption by reason yf the water
being cut off from any cauhe.
When one see* the perfect system
that prevails here and the safeguards
that are provided against confusion,
he can then readily understand why
■o few mistakes occur.
There Are 45 Employes.
The Hulse Steam Laundry Com
pany has been In existence almost a
quarter of a century. They now give
employment to forty-five people and
their pay roll while large la constantly
increasing.
They are very careful to_do all In
their power to promote th# health and
contentment of their help, in order
to do ao effectively they have pro
vided a screened dining room, where
they can spend the dinner hour tn
comfort and enjoyment.
Seven wagons and an automobile
delivery Is required to distribute and
collect their work In the city and
suburb*.
Kmc# the day they etarted up to
th epresent. there hae been no change
In the published price Hat. Nor t*
this likely to be, although the price
of labor and supplies of all kinds
have advanced.
There is no more complete, up-to
