The Manufacturers' Record says that "the general trend of business development today is more pronounc edly in favor of the south than ever before. In every direction. there are signs of advancement." Further the Manufacturers' Record says: "The big profits on two or three vears' cotton crop sold at high prices brought such financial ztrength to the farmers as to enable them to hold this crop back from the market to the despair of the bears, and the iron interests, developed by new and mod ern improvements and by the build ing (f new furnances and stvel wo)rks. are in shape to enjoy the present prosperity in that trade and to justify further developments .n a very large scale. Thus the sot:h enters this period of industrial actiity in a tar better shape than before, and in the next five years we shall see more real wealth created there and a greater volume of business than in the last, ten years. We shall now do in five years much more than we have done in the past ten. That is the assured progress ahead of the south." The picture is pleasing. Will the big profits on the coming year's cot ton crop bring greater financial strength to the farmers of the south? The answer depends upon the far mers. Will they stand by the move ment to reduce the cotton acreage? The answer to this qtiestion will de termine the answer to the other. More interest seems to be taken in the baseball schedules than in the spring examinations in the various colleges-Anderson Mail. There is much truth in this state ment. Athletics is a good thing. A sound mind in a sound body .is a strong combination, but these could be had in more symmetry and by all the students if some of the time giv en to baseball were given to the gym nas.um. A dozen or so boys from each college will do little else than play baseball from now unmil com mencement. The Anderson Mail should remem ber that investigating committees are the order of the day. A committee to investigate the other committee if there is nothing new to investigate. The second state house committee has not finished investigating the first committee yet. President R. T. C. Hunter, of the county association of cotton grow ers, has called a mass meeting of the farmers and business men, to be held in the court house on next Saturday, March 18. It is very earnestly de sired that every farmer and business man in the county who can do so shall attend. The agitation for a re duction in acreage has been general throughout the south and organiza tions with that end in view have been perfected in every cotton state. All that is necessary now is for the far mers to stand by their organization, to aid it in every way possible, and to reduce the acreage. WVe hope to see a full attendance at the mass meet ing to he held in the court house on next Saturday. It has been discovered that an act limiting hunting to the period be tween November 20 and January 2o in a certain township in North Caro lina was by mistake made to apply to the entire state. By the mistake our "feathered friends" in North Carolina will profit gtreatly. STRONGER I _AND STRONGER THE COMMERCIAL BANK, Capital $50,000 00 Surplus 27,000 00 JNO. M. KINARD, Pres. Z. F.

Tn a village in Maryland an 014 deacon, in shaving himself on Sunda; prior to church time, made a sligh cut with the razor on the extreme en' of his nose. Quickly calling his wif he asked her if she had any court plaster in the house. "Yoti will find some in my sewini basket," she said. Finding it -he soon had the cut cov ered, and at church, in assisting wvird the collection, he noticed every on smile as he passed the plate, an some of the younger people laughe outright. Very much annoyed h askedl one of his assistants if t'her was anytihing wrong with his appear ance. "Why, I should say there was, answered his assistant. "What is tha upon your nose?" "Courtplaster, of course." ".Why, I should say there was, is t-he label from a spool of cottoi reading: 'Warranted 200 yard long.' " Might be a Mind Reader. P'lainly she wvas bewildered by th n->ise and traffic as ste left the ele rated station at Madison and WVabasl ave nute. Please tell me how to get t< Washington street," she asked th policeman. "Walk one block north, ma'am." "Thank you very much, but whicl direction do I go after I reach Wash ington street." The policeman looked down a: he and noticed she was very much il earnest and alsc bewildered. "It de pends largely uipon where you desir< to go," he said, as he smiled at her. "Oh, I see.

But she did not tell him. Ins:ead, she ran all the way to Vashington street and asked the policeman sta til ned at that corner which direc:ion she would take to arrive at a certa;n bank. Telling t.he experience after ward, she said: "Of course, I forgot to tell the firs: policeman where I ..nted to go. but he might have known I wanted to go to the bank, for I had my book with me." ,.:i your hand?" "Certainly not. I: was in my hand bag. But he might have known. My il:;band told me the policemen knew everything." A light-headed man is seldom a brilliant conversationalist. If you want to see the real thing in frenzied finance, watch a crowd of women at a bargian sale. It is no use to know such a terrific lot when nobody can understand you.
