Fine Business Growth.

On yesterday evening, January
26th, the stockholders of the Com
mercial Bank held their annual
meeting. ALI the old officers were
reelected. Mr.. L. III. Baggett,
first assistant cashier, was added
to the Board of Directors, and
Mr.. B. A. Williamson, head book
keeper, was promoted to the posi-
tion of second assistant cashier.
1t is interesting to note that
whereas in 1883 the capital stock
of this institution was $4,000,
in 1904, the present time, it is
$4,000; and the deposits that
were $13, ,0SS.77 the first year, in
1903 had reached $451, ,230.85.
The stockholders compIimented
the bank upon it's growth and
condition, which reflect credit
upon the business ability of the
managers of the institution.

BROTHER BONNEY AGITATED.

Brother Bonney of the Sentinel,
got a little excited over The
Leaders, pleasantly in regard to
his soulful commendation of the
Brookhaven-Summit street fair(?)
fake; and in his last issue, with
visions of "the show" still before
his delighted mind, he conjured
up by some trick of the trade he
had learned, ''fake'' procession
of his own, headed bya jackass," "
with the Angel Gabriel" and
his golden (s) trumpet" close be-
hind, and unlike Brother Bonney,
all unmindful of kicks" from the
aforesaid animal; then the"globe
trotter,' radiating in the middle,
with a compromising devil not
as black as he's painted, " trying
to catch up, etc.
Now, If he had just let a little
hill-billy, from Summit, in the
shape of Little Johnny (or Bon
ney)" bring up the rear in his
parade, the editor of The Leader
Would ''cuss out" no more,
Nor raise sheol" galore;
because in the tail end of the pro-
cession, at least, he would recog-
nize something realistic and true
to life-no fake mistake.
Now, if Brother Bonney will
cool off a little, put on his duster
and store clothes and go to the
|St. Louis Fair with the press
gang next May, he will find some
thing to grow enthusiastic about,
and won't gush any more over a
little street fair fake like the one
which lately humbugged Brook
haven and Summit.

County School Items.

The amendment to the State
constitution, providing that the
poll tax shall remain in the county
where collected, becomes opera
tive this year. This is a school
fund, and we bespeak the best
efforts of our newly installed sher-
if in its collection. Let the
teacher and others do what they
can to aid him.
The county superintendent is
visiting and examining the schools
of beat five this week.
The little Homoehitto school,
located in the extreme northwest
ern palt of the county, was found
because of measles and
a report of smallpox. The teacher
had had neither, so she sought
safety in fight. She seemed fully
converted to the doctrine that be
who fights and runs away will live
to fight another day. =
Most Of the schools are doing
good work, and an unusual inter-
estis being maintained. In nearly
every instance the school of this
class is presided oven by q teacher
who attends teachers meetings,
|subscribes for school Journals and
stands honest, fair examinations.

Largest Pecan Grove.

Not only do we grow better pecans in
South Carolina than any of the Texas
variety that have ever been sold in this
market, but we have in South Carolina
the largest pecan grove in the world. 1t
belongs to Capt John S. Horlbeck OF
Charleston, and is situated in Christ
church parish just across the Ashley
river from Charleston. We wish that it
were possible for South Carolina TO enter
the competition with Texas in pecan
nuts. and with Texas and Louisiana and
all the rest of the world in rice, and
with New England in the manufacture of
cotton goods, and with the world In the
production of fine cotton. A small appro-
priation by the Legislature and an active
agent in the field would enable South
Carolina to take all the gold medals Of
fered for competition in field crops and
orchard products and manufactured
