Weather Crop Bulletin No. 8, of the
South Carolina Weather Service, April
9th, j. w. Bauer, Director, has reached
us. 1t shows that the crops, cotton and
corn, in the eastern and southern parts
OF the State are progressing finely,
while planting is fairly under way in
the northern and western parts. Oats
sown In the Spring are promising,
while Fall sown oats were largely killed
by the cold. A great crop of potatoes,
Irish and sweet, are being planted.--
The fruit prospect is promising in all
parts of the State.

Judge Earle presiding at the Rich
land Sessions awarded q new trial to
Aughtry who was convicted by an in
telligent jury of the crime Of murder.
In giving his reasons for granting a
new trial His Honor stated substan-
TALLY thathe was not satisfied beyond q
reasonable doubt OF the guilt Of the
p~risonec. It would seem therefore that
Aughtry was lucky In his trial--having
two jnries to try the facts in his case.
We are commenting on His Honor's
easoning, not his conclusion.

Profits and Opportunities!

Five years ago cows could be
bought here for 81 and SS and big
calves at $3.50. Today steers are.
sold as high as $3S to $40. If there
is any business which shows u great
er per cent OF profit than this, the
fellow who knows of it has IL snap.
BUY when a thing is low, and sell
when it is high is the true principle
running through all business. But
it takes more nerve than the average
man possesses to start into a thing
when every body else wants to get
out of it. At the time referred to,
there was an over production; today
the supply is not equal to the de-
mand. Many and many an observ-
ing man has realized the conditions
herein noted. Why did they not
take advantage of them? All, there
is the question, and it is a common
one. Impatience. Too much of a
hurry to get there! at will take
three to five years to realize TOO
long to wait" And yet those years
roll over our heads and produce
nothing for us, because we have
nothing which time increases. OPP
portunities like the above occur on
the farm occasionally. True, not
every day, but often enough to give
the shrewd, careful, observing man a
chance.

One OF the serious problems OF this

Many new wells are being put down,
and many people are hauling water,
although heretofore they have had
plenty at homein shallow wells. For
ordinary use, OF course plenty of wa
ter can be had any place, but the
trouble now is to supply the stock,
and OF course stock is increasing. 1t
begins to look as ii it will be an alb
solute necessity to put down one or
two artesian wells in each township,
to ill up the draws and supply water
for stock.
