Sumter's business streets amt ttie activity and the temper of tier busi ness pP.ple reflect the splendid spirit with which the movement jwas launched and is being pushed not half-heartedly tiut vigorously, unsel fishly, patriotically T have seen noth in*; finer anywhere More than 200 liaies of the cotton already bought and tetlred on a len-eent basis has been subscribed for by Sumter people, banks, business concerns Individuals, bank clerks book-keepers, salesmen, who arc -till Inn in* 100 Bales Sold in North. Proceeding upon the principle that "the Lord helps those who Uelti themselves." and first brgtn 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, Iteardon. secretary of the Cham 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 and east and west. Sumter mer chants simply Invited their btiel nesa connections to Join hands with them In the ’’huy-a-bal#'’ movement The proposition for tt wae not an appeal—met with ready csponsc. More than 100 hales have been bought and paid for at 10 cents at Sumter by busi ness people, some of whom never saw a hale of cotton and all of whom have become new frienda of cotton, demonstrating In sub stantial manner their friendship tor the south and their consider ation for the southern farmer tn the oriels thrust upon him bv a war which depressed the market for the south's commodity 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 (or $450 for nine l aics. Within the last two da\s the McKtnnon-Dash Co., of Brooklyn has bought one hale, and the Toledo Scale Co. of Toledo O. two balee through the Sumter Charn t-er of Commerce Co-operation In New York. The Chamber of Commerce of New York state has circulated Lso« of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce letters among Its mem- I-era and from this ngency good results ore bound to com* Hon.

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.

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 vincing the farmer ami the business people mat their interests are identi cal This i* standing the chamber in good stead in the present cisls 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 acreage and crop divenflf teat ion. In the city the chamber of commerce is acting ns the central body; in the country, w hich ha* been organized by school districts, the school trustees a» t as organizes and agents, all fea turing. preaching, agitating living at home as the salvation of the soutnern forme. 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 chamber the Farmers’ Tobacco Ware house Company was organised with a capital of $15,099, and a warehouse built l.a*t year nearly $1,000,000 worth of tobacco was sold here, the market which whs allowed to go to practically nothing 20 years ago, hav ing been reestablished All this to bacco was grown in Sumter and Clar endon counties 1,000 acres having having been planted tn tobacco— in thla county. Next year there will be e\rn more tobacco giywn TO encourage the growing of tobac co and the reestablishment of the market, the chamber of commerce paid out fsoo in (irises SSOO tn money and S3OO in ccoi'i erctal commodities Prizes for Crop Oevslopment. Next tear the chamber will dis tribute pixes in like manner, but Instead of tylsico, will encourage crop dtxerstflcation and live stock raising Handles 5,000 Bales s Year. Sumter, a bustling city of 11,000 wide awake enterprising people, Is the market for upward* of 50 009 bales of cotton each season, 35.000 to 40 000 of which arc grown in tht* count' At present there are 4.000 hales stored here The cotton warehouse t* taxed to Its capacity and an effort t* being made to secure the vise of the tobac co warehouse for the overflow Outside of th* cotton purchased on THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and elsewhere. Spread of tho Movement. Each of the seven hanks in Sumter have bought their 1-ales and in some instances -as In the case of the Bank ot Sumter and the City National— practically every employe has bought the cotton kept on exhibit in the banks Hollywood Camp No. 19.

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 date or belter managed plant in the Kouth than of the Hulee Steam Laun dry Company.
