Beauty at Zenith at Forty.
(Bohemian.)


There is beauty quite apart from
youth, the beauty Of the mature wo-
man. Some there are that maintain
that beauty does not reach it's zenith
under the age of 35 or 40. In a
measure this is borne out by the
events Of the antique past which may
likewise be paralleled with instances
OF our own day. Helen of Troy ap-
peared on the scene at the age of 40.
Cleopatra was past 80 when she met
Antony. Aspasia, married to Per-
Giles when she was SO, was a figure
brilliant in her world for 80 years
after. When Diane de Poictiers was
past 36 she won the heart Of Henry
ii, and he but half her age. Anna
of Austria was 38 when described as
the most beautiful woman Of Eu-
rope. Mile. Mar was heralded as the
greatest of beauties at As, and Nine.
Recamier was at her best between
the ages OF 35 and SO. Nine. de
Mainstenon was 43 when united to
Louis, and Catherine Of Russia SO
when she took seat on the throne
(which she occupied for 80 years. All
these women were world-famed for
their beauty and gave the lie direct
to the toothless old saw which buzzes
the power of sweet sixteen. The dew
of youth and complexion Of roses,
1t must be admitted, sometimes COM
bine In face that Is unmoving, ir-
responsible, utterly lacking in that
expression which goes to the max

BANK EXAMINER MAY RESIGN,
Popular Official May Become Con-
nected with Anderson Bank.

Anderson, Nov. 12.-Lee G. Holle-
man will in all probability hand in
his resignation as State Bank Exam
iner to Governor Ansel, effective jan
uary 1st. 1t has been rumored on
the streets for a lay or so that he will
become connected with the Peoples
Bank Of Anderson about the first of
the year, and that the capital stock
Of the bank will be increased from
100000 to $25O,000. The bank
now has a surplus Of about $50, 900,
and with its increasing business, 1t
needs q larger capital stock and also
additional help in managing its af-
fairs. When asked about the matter
to-day, Mr.. Holleman said that there
had been some negotiations looking
to his becoming connected with the
bank, and that while the matter has
not been definitely settled,h he thought
it quite likely that the deal would
go through. If Mr.. Holleman does
not become connected with the banl.,
he will continue as State Bank Tx
aminer until the close OF the year, in
order to finish up his years work in
that office, and will tender his resig-
nation to Governor Ansel in plenty
Of time for his successor to be ap-
pointed. Mr.. Holleman was connect
ed with the Peoples Bank until he
became State Bank Examiner last
January. He is one of the most pop
u ar men that ever lived in Ander-
Sc n, and his many friends will be
81 I'd to know that he is coming back
he e to stay.
Representatives of practically all
OF the banks Of Anderson county
gathered in the Court House last
night to discuss the money situation.
1t was decided that clearing house
certificates issued by the Charleston
and Columbia Associations would be
duly honored by the banks here as
currency is now honored. The An
derson banks will not issue any cer-
tificates at this time.

Our Cotton Letter,

For cheek and call, the following
Clipping from an editorial in the Sat-
urday Evening Post seems to be
about the limit. This man wants the
Southern, cotton growers, to sacrifice
thelr cotton, as usual, I'm order to
benefit others, but the old cotton
growers are determined not to do
this thing.
I'VE must depend principally upon
cotton, which Europe will buy In
great quantities. and which runs into
money very fast, to overcome this
menace and turn the tide our way.
That, in view of such a public need,
planters should hold their cotton for
merely personal gain Ia truly, repre-
hensible.s We read that the banks
generally will keep them In the patti
OF duty by refusing to extend loans
on stored cotton t pa /
A similar situation arises every
fall. Cotton makes nearly one-S lar
ter of our total exports. Much more
than anything else. 1t is what keeps
our trade With the world going. We
must, each year, hurry out, the great
staple in order to meet our balances
in Europe. The function Of the cot
ton industry in financing our for
etgn trade Is 80 important, indeed,
that one might almost expect to see
a bill In Congress--introduce by a
gentleman from Pennsylvania and
backed by the stand-pat league-for-
bidding planters to withhold sin
gle bale that was ready for export
