We country folk* wl 1 have to wa|r In pitlenee until the ses-ion ends for a full understanding of w here we are at A I’KGFITABLR CROP. The first rice made In the United Slate* wa* grown in a Chir|e*ton gar den fiom aeed brought there by a *e* captain from the East Indies It grew and bore so well that it became the great food and money crop of the sea coast.

Columbia sustained on Saturday onv of the greatest losses of recent year* In the retirement of James A Hoyt from the editorship of the Evening Record. We write tliis before knowing the name of his successor, and will not take It back after we ate informed. For a month from Wednesday next Charleston will be over run by the horse racing fraternity and it* camp followers. A thousand horses *re stabled there and they will carry away much easy made money. CAPITAL VS LABOR Last week 250,090 cotton mill spin ners and weaver* in the Lancashire District of Kr.gland were locked out by the factory owners. The trouble was started by the refusal of a man and his wife who were employed In a mill to join a labor union. The officers of the Union demanded that only union labor shall be employed but the mill owners mean to bos* their own busines*. The Idle thousand* have union money suf- fieient to lake care of them several week*. WALL STREET DIDN’T WIN. The New York banking syndicate that obtained ao much free notoriety by it* offer to lend fifty million doilara to Southern cotton farmer* has with drawn that proposition. There were two greater reason* why the plan waa a flat failure. There waa not money enough to hold the untold balance off the market end the W*H Street wtiardi Were not the jogglert to ke*p it off. The fanner* bad Mi good tente to walk into the iplder parlor New York broker* complain that 1911 wa* the dullest year known In their line* of btuHnewa for a toore of year*. Outside buyer* of *tock* were fewer In number and more careful and limited In purchases. For occupation theie speculator# had to trade with each other. Some n| them were forced to hunt other employment. The fever of stock speculation ha* probably passed Its highest heat, and 1912 may not bring a relapse Theodore Price, the greatest of New York cotton speculators, gave out the new year opinion that there U now enough cotton on hand and oomlng In to supply the demand of the world un til two month* after the cotton crop ol 1 1912 come* to market.

I avail myself of the time and the opportunity to return to the good people of this grand old Banner County, from the tawny Savannah to the limpid Rdisto, my sincerely grateful thanks for the generous patronage bestowed -upon me since the fortunate day when I, a boy in my teens, became a resident of this -historic and honored town of Barnwell. Then I believed thif county seat to be the best home place in all the Sunny South and passing time has strengthened that young opinion into the firm and settled conviction of manhood that there is, there can be in all the world, no place so like the Garden of Eden as this land between the rivers, no people so splendid in character, so noble in personality, so brave in war, so gentle in peace, so kindly yi good fortune, so brave and unconquered in the shadow of misfortune as the gifted, beautiful, accomplished matrons and maidens that so finely illustrate the culture of generations and the manly men worthy to have cours ing in their veins the good red blood of the hero ancestors that redeemed it from the rule of the Indian, preserved it from the conquest of the alien, converted the unbroken forest into a land of plenty and pleasantness, substituted the church bell for the shrill war whoop, and for the wigwam the splendid city, exultant town and ideal village. Whatever of success in business life has come to my constant efforts to give my best service to all favoring me with their confidence and patronage has been due to the great warm true hearts ot the people among whom I love to live and whom I am proud to know arc my friends. With a heart full of undying appreciation of the sunshine that you, my friends, have so generously poured into my life I tender you today the best thankr of a grateful fellow citiren and pledge the best efforts and energies and experiences of my riper years to add to your happiness and minister as I best may to your future advantage in all that makes life wortirliying. . Believing in, confident of the greater growth of the better Barnwell of the future I have endeavored to the best of my ability to be one of the most earnest and unselfish builders ©f the greater prosperity and higher civilization it deserves. I havejust completed and in the very near future will occupy a new business headquarters in some degree worthy of the town and county and that in its elegance and completeness will challenge comparison with any similar establishment anywhere in the State. It was built for my friends, and that term includes all Barnwell County people, for through their faithfulness to me such progress was made possible. I want them without a single exception to realize that fact every day in the year, and to “govern themselves ac cordingly ” Come to sec me there, early as you can and as often as you choose, and you will always find welcome at the door. It is your Drug Store, my friends. With the belter advantages of ample space, full light and orderly arrangement I will be able to give and will surely give a service that must over satisfy the most exacting. Carrying the largr-M, purest and most carefully selected stocks of Drugs, Medicines and all lines germane to my profession I sbkll hope and strive to add to the health and happiness of each and every one who will allow me opportunity to prove my grateful friendship. •V. / 3 TSIIE IP^Xj-A-OIE idirttg- stqire, O, Jsr.
