Attontion is called to the yery ex cellent showing mado by tho first an nual statement of the Commercial Savings Hank A Trust Company Although this I bm It has done will from its inelpicncy tho good woik of its newly elected president, Mr. C. J. Shannon, Jr , is already making itself manifest. During tho past three, months deposits have doubled. In Mr John T. Mackcy Mr. Shannon has a worthy and efficient co laborer and at their Hunk the public always receives the very host treatment. It always give1! us genuine pleas lire to chronicle tho doings and achievements of "our people" in other lands. Through the kind thought of Mrs Herman Bnum our attention has boon called to a notice in the New York Herald allowing the election of Mrs. Cornelius L Winkler, formerly of Caindon now of New York City, t > tho office of Sec retary of tho Dixie Club of tho me* tropolis. Accompanying tho so count is a very good photo of Mrs. Winkler. This organization, male up solely of Southern women, has a membership of fully five humfred of Dixie's fairest flowers and is the most prominent of its kind in tho country. Tho eloctiou of Mrs. Wink ler is a recognition of ability. If is a rare distinction and a complimont of the first ordor. We congratulate Lor moat heartily. One of tho most prominont honorary members of the o'ub is Mrs. Jefferson Davis. Allied Willi Tho Farmers. Tho following editorial appeared in the Charleston News aud Courier of last Monday : / The contribution of ono thousand doll art* by tho Virginia-Carolina Che. mlcal Co. and of smaller but liboral Bums by other fertilizer companies to tho Ootton Growers' Association, at first blush, appoara remarkable. One of this Association's avowed objects is to cause a roduotion in the amount of fertilizers used by Southern cot ton planters. The fertilizer companies, however, tako a broader and wiper view. The Southern farmers arc their chief cos tomers, not onlv this year, but in all years. Unless they have ability to bay, the fertilizer men cannot ex peot t'? sell. The farmers are r t r i v ing to gain the position whoro they will havo a voioo in fixing tho price of their commodity. Other producers occupy suoh a position now and the farmers boliovo that as a condition precedent to reaching it, intelligent restriction must bo placed about pro duotion. The logic in this is irro sistible. Tho fertilizer companies under stand further that tho education movement implies no tight upon them. Curtailing fertillizors bus no Other object than to curtail the cot ton crop of 1905. There is no dis position to lessen the amount of for tiliiers used for wheat, potatoes and other crops. Whde the fertilizer companies have exhibited good business judgment in ihris co-operating with the farmors, they show a liberal spirit. They make it olear that they keep in mind their mutuality of interest with Bonthern farmers and give to the Utter assurance that tbey may be do pe&dsd upon as allies when the 6oath*rn farming industry is men* Tim Vrtluo of IIImIn.
