Joke on Exi-Governor Evans While Governor Evans was in New ] York several years ago, hi? was just ! a potential governor and first citizen j of his state then, but he was a youth, who was well able to hoe his own row | even then. In keeping with his<piouj| program, as instilled.-into him by his splendid parents, Mr. Kvans attended I one of the fashionable Protestant! Episcopal churches in the metropolis. Young Kvans entered the church and observing an unoccupied pew en tered it and male himself at home fn a few m'mife* the owner of the pc\v strolled in. Although there was plenty of room and to spare, the cool and lather phlegmatic pew-ownei glared at the -strange youth. Mr. Kvans smiled. This was apparently t<?o much and the pow owner pulled out his card, and'hastily wrote'on it, (nnd( r his name): "I paid $2,000 foi this pew," and harded it to the youth. The potential governor read it, hmiled, pulled.out hi-, pencil and wrote on the reverse side: "V?>u paid too damn much!" Signed his name, wrote his address, and handed back the card. -South Carolina Gazette. Executive clemency was last year extended by Governor McLeod to 124 persons convicted of crime.

McG KK'S COT ION I.KTTKU Aadtrson Man Explains Why Market Does Like It Does Anderson, S. ('., March Private estimate* on this year's acreage Is 2 and a quarter acres more than was planted to cotton last year, and a yield of, 135 Ibto. seed cotton to the acre including boll weevils and cuekle | burs and that the total crop will he I somewhat in the neighborhood of I 17,234,253 bales counting round bales, flat bales, square bales, crooked bale*, alfalfa bales, linters rags and all other cotton products not otherwise enumerated. This estimate put the bulls to route, and the bears were con vinced that everything would turn out just as predicted by this clerk in a grocery store in Elbert on and the consequence was that cotton broke 25 points and spots broke 50 points. Texas has not ginned any cotton so far this year, but will probably haVe few bales ready in time to call the new crop "in sight." VVe.advise holding. Yours truly, * Gee McGee. ?Anderson Daily Mail.
