Mis-. A. H. Miller has been visiting
her daughter here.
Mrs. Werts, of Sa4uda, is visiting
relatives in this community.
Preaching in the academy next Sab
bath afternoon as heretofore.
Messrs. Kibler Bros. have completed
the fencing of their large pasture.
Mrs. Tena Cook of ;his community
has been very i'll with the grip.
Farm work in this community is still
progressing rapidly alcng.
Our weather prophet predicts for
another snow yet this season. so the
winter is not over with yet.
The grain crops in this community
have been injured very little by the Sc
we're winter. A very good grain crop
NAV be expected if nothing lnterteres
with the grain from this on to harvest
time.
The cold wave o: last week didn't
feel like early gardening. However,
some of our early gardeners have been
sowing the seed. More gardening and
less politics will prove an advantage 10
US all.
The farmers of this neighborhood
will make use of less fertilizers this
wear than they did last season. we be,
lieve fertilizers to certain extent VIII
fully repay hefarmers, but they shou!o
try as near as possible to make thelr
fertilizers at home. e'his should be the
first point for the farmer to consider.
1t is an important one.
We hear of no valen tines being passed
in our little village. 1t seems that our
Young people have adopted a wiser
plan for "secret courting" than that OF
St. Valentines day.
The Atlanta Constitution seems to
think that it is not over production
that causes the low price OF cotton.
We'll the Constitution may be right but
less cotton and more home supplies
will prove to be an advantage to the
farmers even if cotton should ad-
vance from the present prices.
Uncle Geo. Counts, Sr., and Aunt
Susie OF Mt. Tabor community While
on visit to their son, Mr.. j. c. Counts
and family of this community have

improving. Uncle Geo. and Aunt

started out on Sunday the 7th and
went to st. Philips, where heard one
f. Rev. Mr.. Wyse's eloquent sermons.
Il seems that be is the ri ght man in the
right place. His people all love him.
Notwithstanding the bad weather
there was good congregation.
Mr.. Adam Kibler, who was kept from
church because of neuralgia, sent me
an invitation to dine with him. ac-
cepted his, kind hospitality and in due
time found myself in the midst of a
very pleasant and happy family. 1 was
truly the recipient of countryman's
fare and a hearty welcome. We did
ample Justice to a delicious dinner. l
remained with these friends until Mon
day, leaving bright hearthstone and
warm friends regretfully, and went IN
the direction Of Pomaria.
Saw Mr.. w. r. on the road; he sub
scribed for The Herald and News. l
landed at Mr.. A. Bundrick's for the
night and found his family all sick
with the grip. Next morning visited
his neighbors and found nearly every
family down with the grip. I arrived
at W. w. Berley's for dinner and
found our host and his good wife just
az kind as ever, with substantial and
sayory dinner. I would have been
glad to tarry awhile, but had to move
on.
Inext visited the merchants of Po-
maria, and found them wanting to cry
hard times, but from the trading l saw
going on I think they should stop. I
next went to the old Summers place,
that carried me back to the war, when
the Yankees came so near getting ME
in that same yard. I saw where con-
cealed myself until night, so that l
might get out from there. then went
to George Aull's and found bright and
happy family, and if they live all the
time in that style, I would like to stay
with them.
From there departed for the Bach
man Chapel neighborhood and found
a great many kind friends, but could
not stop and spend day with all; NJ y
next stopping place was at Rev. }. A.

ELLERBE'S OPINION.
What the Comptroller Says About the
Bank Decisions

Comptroller-General Ellerbe was yes
terdav asked for his views on the Su-
preIne Courts decision in the Ne"oerrS
bank cases. He says the decisions Do
not decide anything Of Importance.
The auditor did hot comply with his
instructions and therefore the decision
means nothing. The Marlboro case, ne
say., is the real test case, and II the
Supreme Court sustains Judge Iud-
sous decision making section 239 uu-
gatorv, then be would be willing 10 re-
duce the assessments Of all the banks
that had been increased. He went into
the details of the matter, but the above
is the sum and substance OF BIS -
marks, and they agree with the analy-
sis of The State on the probable acton
of the State Government.-The State,
18th.
WHAT THE AUDITOR SAYS.
The Herald and News called on Au-
ditor Cro!ner and asked il he had any
thing to say in regard to the above.
He was reluctant to say anythlngal-
though he felt that injustice was done
him and said he would not say more
at this time than this:
"After the decision Of the Marlboro
case it may be necessary for me TO
make a statement. IF so can prove
that I have never Intentionally failed
to comply with the instructions OF tie
Comptroller-General. I have always
complied even when I belived 1T was
contrary to the law to do So"
There is no doubt that it the pur-
pose of the Comptroller-Gereral to put
the blame on other shoulders. But he
cannot attach any blame to our audi
tor. If he undertakes it the RESPONSE
bility will be properly placed.
