Not Much for FOrmalities.

Governor Johnson, of Minnesota,
surprised his friends during the Con-
ference of Governors, recently held
in Washington, by appearing on the
platform on the day he presided,
stunningly arrayed in a frock coat
striped trousers, patent leather shoes
and a shock to simple Democracy
silk stockings.
When Governor Johnson arrived
in Washington, he wore his comfort
able and now famous green suit, tan
tie and other light articles of wear
ing apparel. When President Roose-
welt invited him to preside at ses-
sion, he thought it was time to aban-
don, for the time being, his COM
Portable clothing. AS soon as the
days session was over, Governor
Johnson hurried to his hotel, donned
his green suit and heave'i a sigh OF
relief. He is not much for toiinaIi-
ties.

LEE BRuNsoN s5 900 SHORT.
Examination of Books Shows Flor
ence Bank Cashier was Behind.

Florence, May 2S.-T The officials of
the Bank Of f'lcrsnce gave out ano-
tier statement Tuesday morning in
regard to the Lee SBrunson affair.
After going 'overskis books very care
fully they have found q shortage Of
$4,000. They have not yet finished
their work on his books, but 1t is
not thought that the shortage will
exceed this amount. The officials
state that he did not carry all of this
amount with him at the time, as that
much in cash would have been miss
ed from the vault. The idea seems
to be that this amount was taken in
small sums.
when the statement was given out
that there was a shortage in Brun-
sons accounts, his father, Judge w.
A. Brunson, and the other relativas
promptly made good the shortaga6
and any other that may be found,
thus obviating any prosecution Of his

HOLD COTTON FOR MINIMUM.
Nothing to, Lose by Holding and
Much to BE Gained.

Cotton has advanced $3.50 per
bale in ten days, and IL we will hold
to it, and not be Influenced to SELL
1t will in the next ten days make the
same advance, and the minimum will
be reached. Remember the 1907
crop is 100000 bales short This
makes cotton scarce, not enough for
consumption. Ciop conditions the
lowest in twenty years.
On the cath Texas and Oklahoma
were visited by the most destructive
flood that has ever been known.
On May 10th our National Presi-
dent, G. S. Barrett, issued a circular
letter asking the Union men to plow
up 10 per cent of the cotton planted
and put it in food crops. One million
acres have been reported plowed up.
This looks as II the boys mean busi-
ness and will stand behind their
guns.
Do not listen to those who tell
they know 1t will go upward during
June.
Do not forget that corn is $1.1O
per bushel and plenty Of time to
plant yet. Well-filled corn cribs and
smokehouses will always make cot

Engineer Jack Farrell developed a
new fad the past week. Not that he
is faddist, but this new departure has
taken a most unusual turn for man SO
practical and matter-of-iact as he is
known to be. His friends are in doubt
whether his interest in herbs is the
first symptom Of a desire to become a
doctor or a manifestation Of prenatal
tendencies. He spent one whole day
this week out on the hills hunting and
digging up roots. One Of his friends
says he keeps his specimens stored un-
der his bed and when you enter the
room you are met by such combina'
ton Of smells Of roots and herbs thai
you are reminded of some patent med
icine factory you have visited.

the council, being in the employ OF the
company, and friendly to its interests,
was all the representation on the coun-
Gil they were entitled to. 1t was
pointed out that the Citizens ticket
contained the names of two men who
were friendly to the mill company
interests, Mr.. Ruth being in their en-
ploy and Mr.. Hartman having so ex-
pressed himself, which if elected would
give the mill company control Of the
council. The opinion was expressed
that the mill company and the railroad
company should each be represented
in the council by one member, but
that the other three members should
always be men who would be loyal to
the interests OF the town. Alter con-
