Thanks to tint esteemed Laurens; AdverlUer for lt? advice lam week regarding the make up of 'J'hu Chronicle.' 11m remarks were well put and wu are taking Its advice, i "ow do you like the make-up thin week ? The Chronicle upprcclatOM the many ooinpllmenlary remarks on thu recent improvement!* made In the paper. It Ih our aim to con- i tinue Improving It until we have i one of the bent weekly papert* In ! thin section. Three charred volumeH of the He- j volutlonary records of South Caro lina, which escaped the capltol fire at Albany, N. Y., worn received on ' Friday last by the South Carolina hiHtorical commission. The rocordH, which comprlHe three volumes of the inlnnt?h uf the comuilHHlon In charge of the navy of South Caiollna du ring the revolution, were returned under a special act of the New York legislature. Said Senator Tilliiian at CleinKon last week "Now, young men, I had the good sense and the good luck to find a Kood woman who , waH willing to hitch up with me and who has trotted down the road of life with me ever since, I con-j Hl<|V*r my marriage the greatest j piece of luck I ever had. 1 want to say to you that If you will go and do likewise, you ought to be successful, for there is nothing in the world so Inspiring as th6 love of a good pure woman." The C'hronlcle reproduces in an other place a recent editorial of the Manufacturers' Record, making notable comment upon the marvel-I ous progress of Southern newspa pers. That article Is exceedinly In teresting, but Ih even more valua ble. It not only tells the wonder ful story of newspaper evolution In Dixie, but It a deep significance lies in a suggestion to the citizens of a town that every subscriber of a newspaper can do publicity work for his town by reading his paper and then sending I taway off to be read somewhere else. Don't over look the article. It is good in ev ery line. We take pleasure In announcing that we have been fortunate in se curing the services of Miss Louise Nettles as society editor and she has entered upon the discharge of her duties, as will bo noticed by re ference to the society page In this issue. Miss Nettles Is well known to our people and needs no introduc tion. We bespeak for her the co operation of everyone. If you have any visitor or any item of news, phono it to Miss Nettles and it win be appreciated both by her and The Chronicle. We want to put out a newspaper in every sense of the word and to litis end we want every person to give us every news item they can lirlug, send, or tel ephone it in and we will appreciate 1'. and it will be helping The Chronicle.

Cheap, witty, criticism learns no man anything about farming or pays any bills or taxea. ****** The moat Interesting and* amus ing debate to. Farmers' Union peo ple of late, was the sharp dlscus aion of the report of the commlttce on New York Cotton Exchange me thods al the recent meeting of the American Cotton Manufacturers Aa aociatlon, when Lewis Parker and other cotton spinners, claimed that the New York Cotton Exchange was run more in thy Interest of gamb ling than as a medium in the legi timate interest of cotton trading. It came out In the debate that these New York Cotton Exchnage gambled by the use of wires and lies, backed up by a few hundred thousand .bales of dog-tall cotton In New York warehouses could run cotton futures either up or down, taking profits from either side, Ir respective of prices for spot cotton and cotton mill men are now about of the same opinion about the New York cotton exchange question as the Farmers Union has been for the last five years, at which time cot ton growers through a kind of de tective committee made their report to the Union that sounds very like cotton mill men report on the gam bling features of this New York Cotton Exchange, which is beyond doubt the biggest humbug that has anything to do with the cotton mar ket. Since our mill men have made this new (. ?) discovery for their own benefit, that cotton grow ers round out over five years back. Farmers Union men should be more patient with the cotton mills as they are gradually coming to ward thft cotton growers for their cotton and the Southern mills, It appears, may, after atlme find out that there Is no reason for going to New York to get cotton grown at their own door, if the mills are now about five years behind time In finding out the amount of rotten cotton there Is In the New ^ ork Cotton Exchange.
