The following wuh taken from The
rsrus, official city ami county paper,
of Albany, N. Y./ -Septewifber J,
Some years ago, a group of college
moli, in which were many members
of the Yule fi)i<l Princeton- baseball
teams, was discussing the game of
the next day, which was to decide the
championship. "Slugger Kelly, the
hardest hitter on the Jersey nine,
predicted, in the course of the conversation,
that he would get a homo
run in the coming game. The Yale
pitcher turned toward him and asked
how certain he Was of that home run.
Kelly replied that he was sure to
the extent- of $5,001), ami the Yaloj
pitcher, remarking that he was convinced
of the opposite to a like de-1
gree, the two players shook hnmlw on
the wager and went home to bed. j
During the first eight innings, ;
Kelly came to the bat five tunes, and.
five- times he got his bags on bails,
the Yale man taking care to send ?n
no ball that Kelly could touch. j
When the "Slugger" came to the
bat in the last half of the ninth.;
there wc re two men** out, and an
eager Tig<-r was hovering off first;
base. Kelly know that it was his
last chance to hit the ball, ami as
the first hai.l pitched came Hying
<fowrt Yar to one side of the plate,
the "Slugger" stepped way across the'
rublx-r and his bat met the ball with
a sharp crack. The next secomi, the,
broken bat was lying on the ground.!
ami Kelly was flying around the dia- j
mond. He reached home with the,
warning run about u second before!
the ball landed in the catcher's hands,
and as he brushed the dust from hisj
shirt he calmly remarked: "I knew
1 could do it."
Without entering into the < pi est ion
of the morality of betting,, that sort;
of spirit is what is needed today by,
. the' man who wants to accomplish;
' 'something. Not the conceit of the.
man who deludes himself with a
magnified picture of his own abili-|
ties, but the calm " certainty of the
one who knows what he can do, ami
intends to do it. fin- world trusts
the man who trusts himsellf.
There is many a gray-haired engineer.
full of experience, still sitting
in the eab of the yard engine win re
lie was put years ago. and there is
many a man not out of his twenties
w.'h liis hand resting <>n the throttle
of a gt< at flyer. The one eou.d never
fei ! quite eertuin o! hi- abilities,
whi''- the other had an assy red ellfideji
e in h lb me If whieh eaa-ed other.
to learn to depend upon him.
A young man starting out in life
needs to be molest ami respectful
toward older men, but he mu-t n!-o
realize that out of the host of tho-e
seeking employment, the only one the
employer seeks is the man who can do
something, and knows it.

*^A good rain fell for the- first tiq/e
in many weeks last 'Saturday afternoon.
Parties who had made a partial
suivey of the county tell us that
il was pretty general but thai in several
p!ar< s it seems that the rains
had met an.i there were occasional
dry .?tretches. Older corn, gardens,
ani other crops had begun to suffer
bnd'y, while cotton wys not nvuch injured.
Gardens had suffered to Mien
an extent that few had anything to
offer on the local community market,
an<i likewise the large community
market at Columbia, which is a central
point for truck and produce for
a w ide area, had but .^little to offer.

The Chronicle is this week carrying
the tirsit of a series of advertisements
for tlie big national advertisers, that
we have had for the pas.t three years.
Represented in this list is the Standard
Oil Company, Henry Ford, Goodyear
and Firestone products, and a
minor nationally advertised product.
These "big boys" senwe the trend of
the times and when they turn loose
millions of dollars in- ncws-[>aj>cr advertising
you irniy know that they
are pretty good "barometers" of what
is going on in the business world.
Local merchants cou-ld take a tip
from these big concerns. For instance.
we saw the first of the "zipf>rr
hags" a few days ago. and profe.--ing
ignorance, asked wmat they
were. \'o Camden merchant has, as
yet. ti.Jd you they had "zipper bags"
for s i!e. and they are most handy articles.
A Is > as a harbinger of business we
;<a-< on in this column the remarks
of L. B. Corlon, national director of
the Travelers' Protective Association,
mad at Hou-'ton. Texas, recently;
A'- u will soon see traveling men
ha k on tho road, the forerunners of
h-tter bu-iness ami renewed I commercial
life." he said.
"In my round I find truly a feeing
o? optimism. Railroad car loading
are on the increase. Rail transportation
companies arc installing
fast freights to handle the increased
tonnage quickly. Men arc going back
to work. Aggressiveness and enthusa-m
have supplanted' pessimism."

Coming ui> from Camden to New
York, the ether day, on the New York
-Florida Eton tod, that tine train of
the Seab^flflfc Jtuilway, we were interested
in 'Troe IStory of Cot/ton," printed
on the dining car menu.
It i% an interesting story, from the
ft rat use of cotton in India 5,000 years
ago, its development in the form of
designed cotton fabrics by ancient
peoples in the iSouthwest '<f what is
now the United States about 1,600 It.
C., its introduction into the South by
the early .Spanish discoverers. Then
the epoch-making invention of '.he
cotton gin by Bli Whitney ijry J71K1 A.
D., and the tremendous develofpuu-nt
up to the present day, when ft is estimated
that the wellbeing of 12,000,U00
(?f our people depend on th* prosperity
of the cotton industry.
