There are as many cotton factories in South Carolina as there are In the rest of the States put together it Is the home center for the fertilizer industry of the world, and the lumber industry there is too welI-known to need men Eugene ouariss of Petersburg will practically handle the work of ."Oiq" Virginia, and although that State has been known to be slow about getting in line on some subjects. they deliver the goods, when they; arrive.

 Arrangements have been made In Washington byeG. Grosvenor Dave to h ave the specimen exhibits taken care of upon their arrival at the capital, and from now on the various samples of resources of the Southern cities will be sent in.
 Mr. Dave has received a mass of mali from all sections of the country pertaining to his great work. since his return from Washington. from tndi- yfduals and commercial associations. Texas has jumped to the front In en- thusiasm in the great movement, and already has organized the commercial associations of the several cities Of the State into central power that will handle the display from the for. mer republic. Judging from the let ters received, Texas will have a lot more than cotton. sugar cane and sage brush to show for what the State stands in the commercial and indus trial world. Mir. Dave was more than gratified with the letters he received from the State.
 Tennessee is not saying very much, but up in Tennessee they are frugal with words. preferring to do things.

Death OF a Child.

William Yearly, Jr., the FIVE
year old child and a town favor
ite, died Tuesday at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Yearly.
The announcement carriedper-
sonal grief to more households
than one could believe of a child
so young. But the little fellow
was a favorite here, marked as
one of the city's prettiest child
rem and the never-failing solace
to Mr.. and Mrs. Yearly. He
was exceptionally bright, his
manner was captivating in so
young a child and his laughter
contagiuous. 1t was the sort of
laughter that makes every day
holier, filled with music, and in
whose rosy, dimpled cheeks were
held of the tears of grief.
The little man lost his life in
an illness that began from meas
les. Recovering from its treach-
erous grasp, he contracted a cold
from which he grew worse. He
lived many days in desperate
sickness, but khad the fortitude
to bear it all. When he had but
a moment to live he tried to
speak but indicated only his de-
sires and died.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day morning from Trinity church
at 1920.
