Daniel j. Sulley Is now talking about
Is to 1S-cent cotton this fall. With con-
tinued rains, fastgrowing grass and an
already reduced cotton acreage it seems
this hope for high-priced cotton is not
entirely groundless.

The "Holy Rollers" is the name of a
new religious sect that has bobbed up at
Benton Harbor, Mich. They predict the
end of time for August, 1915, eleven
years from now, at which time 10000
"Holy Rollers" are expected to ascend
into Heaven-just roll right into the
pearly gates, so to speak. "Ain't that
rollin' 'em some?'
The Union Times complains that it's
home and other cities are suffering at the
hands and writhing in the clutches of
inc ice trust. Of course it is bard on
the public, but we can console ourselves
with the thought that in the world to
come the ice trust of the present day
will join forces with tho beef, steel, coal
and other trusts in useless effort to
quench flames. Better sweat here than
smoke hereafter.
BY two widely divergent methods VIM
j. Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt have
simultaneously reached tho same conclu-
sion-that this is no time to talk politics.
Mr.. Roosevelt is just 'recovering' from
trip on which he was constantly
"loaded for bar" to use familiar and
very expressive expression, and Mr..
Bryan has been discussing religion in a
Presbyterian Assembly at Winona Lake,
Ind. Thanks to religion and bear hunt,
all will be quiet on the Potomac and out
in Nebraska-for time at least.

for this verse, which appeared in batch
of poetry descriptive of the girls of seve-
raj towns in this State:
But the Greenville girl, when it comes to
kiss,
one is willing to die after winning such
And sleep until Gabriel's call.
That verse doubtless explains why
Mayor Thompson slips over to Green
vile so often, and why the blowing of
whistles, ringing of bells or anything
short of Gabriel's horn fails to wake him
before 10 a. m.

The heads of owls arc said to be tho
coming rage as adornments for women's
hats. 1t should DO borne in mind that,
while the owl is generally credited with
having an exceedingly wise look, it is a
TACT that it possesses a smaller brain than
any other bird. And yet it may be
safely said that the owl possesses as
much brain as the man who kills it or
the woman who wears it's head on her
hat. Some of the society set, however,
arc SO blank just under the hat that the
wise look of an owl on top would be alb
solntely necessary to create even a vague
mint at Intelligence in that locality.

Just as tho Anderson Mail and the
Keowee Courier had identified the United
states consul at Viadivostok, r. S.
Greener. as South Carolina negro, who
was perniciously active in the days of
reconstruction in this State, and had
established to their joint satisfaction that
ne had losG his job at the Russian port,
comes an official statement from Wash
angton that Greener is reporting his
activities as representative of the govern
ment, his particular engagement at pres.
ent being in an interior town, far from
che dangers of the expected siege of
Viadivostok by the Japanese armies
Charleston Post.
With pain and anguish of soul we must
oxclaim with our lamented friend, j.
Cesar "Et tn, Brute!" Does The Post
really mean that it gives crcdence to this
government report in the face of The
Keowee Courier and the Anderson Mail?

In the June number of Everybodys
Magazine, published May Goth, Thos. w.
Lawson gives 26,0O0-word story of the
first great crime of "Amalgamated."
This, he says, is the beginning of the
&Uhilment of his promise to the Ameri-
can people year ago to expose some of
esae specific acts of piracy and high
robbery practiced on the Ameri-
can people by the gigantic combination
known as "Amalgamated." Mr.. Lawson
claims that the people were robbed of
