He is a line salesman, handling packages with no mach eace and grace as the most expert with two good hands. Strange to say, Mr. Smith is an excep tionally good penman, wielding the pen with more accuracy and rapidity than the ordinary man. In fact, for some time Mr. Smith taught a writing school in which penmanship was tho principal feature of the curriculum.

Fifty-one baleB were Bold to the Che?well Cotton Mills and 57 to I. S. Pitts. Mr. Marett's cot ton cost him au average of 0 cents per pound, and he sayB the bales would average just about 475 pounds each. His net profit, therefore, wob just about Or cents per pound, or $20.05 per bale, or; in other words, practically jp^.iOv on the lot. This is substantial ly correct, though the figures are inado on n sup posed average on the weight of the bales nnd an estimated average cost of tho cotton. However, it is near enough correct to satisfy Mr. Man tt that he iB practically $3,000 to the good on his cotton transactions for the 1003 crop.
