/ DUNNO !!

| sometimes think I'd rather crow
And be a rooster than to roost
And be a crow. But / dunno.
A rooster he can roost also,
Which don't seem fair when crows can't
crow,
Which may help some. Still | dunno.
Crows should be glad of one thing,
though;
Nobody thinks of eating crow,
While ROSTERS they are good enough
For anyone, unless they're tough.
There are lots of tough old ROSTERS,
though,
And anyway a crow can't crow,
SO mebby ROSTERS stand more show.
1t looks that way. But L dunno.

COMMISSIONS A

A cotton mill in this State less than
100 miles from Laurens has issued to
its stockholders a letter stating that by
changing its selling agents it has saved
two per cent on its capital stock during
the past year. 81 do not know of a
better place for this than to turn it
over to the stockholders" writes the
president and treasurer to them and
sends them an extra dividend of two
per cent.
Here in the Laurens mill a similar re-
duction in cost of selling was effected
18 months ago. Everybody knows the
result. The Millikens bought a c%ontroll-
ing interest. They elected a board of
directors, the majority of whom are
South Carolinians and that board in
stantly cancelled a two per cent con-
tract with a responsible house and
turned the business back into the hands
of the Millikens at a per cent.
Why?
1t will be remembered that this can
collation. had nothing to do with effect
ing the change in management. The
change had already been effected.
No reason for this cancellation has
ever been given. Meanwhile, mills on
all sides are reducing commissions.
We do not know that we can cause
this mill to be managed in the interests
of the stockholders but we can keep the
facts before the public.

than 2 per cent on it's capital had not
the Stevens contract been cancelled.
If our public square should be con-
verted into an attractive "plazza'' or
park, similar to that of the public
square in Anderson, the value of the
real estate facing the square would be
much enhanced. The public square
stores of Anderson sell for three times
the prices that those of Laurens sell
for.
The formation of "Fairview County"
would go far to placing the cities of
Greenville and Sp%artanburg in control of
this Congressional district.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.
THE MASTERY.

To lose s~elf-control is to lose the key
to any situation, No man who cannot
hold' himself in hand can expect to hold
others. 1t has been well said that, in
any discussion or disagreement with an
other, if you are in the wrong you can
not afford to lose your temper, and If
you are in the right there is no occasion
to. Or, as a lawyer has wittily put it,
Possession is nine points of the law;
self-possession is ten"
