In the window Of prominent business es-
tablishment on Chestnut street in Philadel'
pbia may be seen picture frame, containing
a letter written by J. l.. Sanders, colored
merchant of Sumter, also photograph OF

letter each day. l have been asked dozen
times this week if I knew J. L. Sanders, OF

of Rire's Root Beer offered prize for the
best window display OF the drink, and out OF
the hundreds that were received the one from

window of their place of business on Chest
nut street. The letter is characteristic ard
tells of the history of Sanders family that
some of the children are by his FIST wife and
others are by his second wife, and that the
first wife died before ne began to sell Hires
Root Beer.
The letter goes OF to say, "Look at me and
my family, three children, Root Beer die it. +"
During the busy hours of the day people stop
IN front of the window and read the letter ;
towards evening they bring others TO read 1t.

CONDITION OF CROPS.

The temperature conditions were
favorable for crop development duriog
the week, aud over the central belt of
counties, from the Georgia to the

rainfall were also favorable factors,
but elsewhere there were maoy aud
extensive areas where the rainfail was
excessive and sunshine deficient, con-
ditions tbaG had deterioratiog effect
on the staple crops. particularly cotton.
Reports from York, Spartauburg,
Union, Abbev:ile, Anderson, Kichlaud
and from Marlboro and Marion coun.

other counties indicate that the corn and
cotton crops are very promising, as
are all the minor food and forage crops,
