In view of the fact that business
still fingers and displays evidences
of hesitation and uncertainty, while
awaiting the decisions of the United
States Supreme Court iii the Stand,
ard Oil and American Tobacco
Company cases. lit is gratifying TO
learn that that tribunal will not
take a recess over Easter. During
the coming month each Monday
morning will find the court in ses-
sion, and in all probability before
May 1, the Trust opinions will be
handed down. 1t will be healthful
to business and finance to make an
end of these pending suits, and the
sooner they are done with the bet

No matter where you go, you
will always find those who obstruct
your pathways, always find those
who belittle your endeavors, those
who ridicule your honest efforts to
success; those who prove great
stumbling blocks to your progress;
those who are continually predict
ing your failure; those who magnify
your indiscretion; those who lie
about you; those who put up jobs"
on you; those who discourage every
effort you make; those who rejoice
at your every failure; those who
predict your inability to prosper;
those who are enviOus, jealous and
cruel. You cannot escape these
people; they Turk in every town and
City-in every community, and,
knowing this, there is then, but one
way to thrive, and that is to hustle.
If you find not that which you seek
in one spot, seek elsewhere. If
clouds hang low and black, wait for
them to roll by and for the shining
of the beautiful sun that is behind.
If your plans miscarry, try again,
do not be discouraged hustle. - Elk
The parlOr as a parlOr will soon

and lack of comfort. The new
houses will have the best room, the
one in which the whole family
gathers, warm, sunny place, a
home room in its truest sense. The
next generation will not waste a
space on parlors. Perhaps a little
library, for privacy, will also be in
dispensable to many. This cherry
room of the future will hold a piano,
the general books, the pictures,
work basket and everything that

Regrets Pastor Leaving.

A news letter from Springfield says
Rev. o. M. Abney, pastor of the Meth
odist church of that place, preached
his farewell sermon Sunday morning,
he having been transferred to Hamp-
ton by the conference. Many express
sions OF sadness were made in the
parting Of this man of God with his
congregation who have become very
much attached to him. His logic,
eloquence and petty have won for him
an esteem that was in part expressed
at the close Of his sermon by James
H. Tanning, who had been chosen
to speak for the congregation in their
loss and to bid the minister God speed
il his new field.

do So At Once.
During the Christmas holidays
when fireworks are more or less set
of by old and young, 1t Is well to
have all trash removed, not only from
the streets, but from the yards OF
residents and stores as well. The
lots in rear of stores should receive
special attention, and all trash and
otherscombustible matter carefully re-
moved from them.
In order to impress the Importance
of this upon the business men, the
police department were instructed to
call on them this week and urge upon
them the necessity Of cleaning"up be-
hind the stores before the holidays set
in. The police officers will perform
this duty in the next day or two, and
It is hoped that Ill the business men
will at once comply with the request
to remove all trash.

Immediately organizing and pushing

tion Of cotton acreage for, 1912 from
individual farmers from one end Of
the, cotton belt to another, and in
view of the absolute necessity for

The above ouncement was made
at Columbia Tuesday night By Com
missioner E.. J.. Watson, President of
the Southern Cotton Congress. Com
missioner Watson further said:
,e"In addition to the members of the
executive committee I will specially
request each State Farmers Union
president to be present with the COM
mittee or to be represented by some
delegate acting for him, and will
make a special request Of the gov
ernor of each State and the commits
sioner Of agriculture Of each State
to be present in person or by repre-
sentatives. In this way the three or
ganizations that have been endeaYor-
ing to aid in the matter of market
ing cotton will be combined into one
effective meeting, for a common pur-
pose. 80
&c. E. Barrett, President of the
National Farmers Union, OF course,
will be invited to be present. It. is
our purpose to put into immediate
operation an effective plan for Sc
curing pledges Of reduction of at
least 25 per cent Of cotton acreage,
somewhat upon the lines inaegtrated

State by J. G. Anderson, and Mr.. An

This will not be a miscellaneously at

thoroughly representative, and with
the interests or the South at heart.
For some weeks I have been working
upon these lines, and believe that 7

MORE STREET PAVING.
city Council Decides to Have the
Good Work Go On.

City Council held its regular
monthly meeting Friday night, and
transacted routine and other business.
On motion OF Alderman R. H. Jen-
ni.ngs it was decided to finish paving
Russell street to,,the Southern Pas
serger Station with Yitrified brick.
The work has, been placed in the
hands of committee consisting Of
Aldermen w. G. Smith, R. F. Bry-
ant and W. Nv. Crum, who are to
obtain specifications for laying the
brick-as was: done before.
,.rhe paving will be completed from
where it now ends at the corner of
Lowman and Russell streets to the
Southern Passenger Station and also
Efolfi South Bronghton street, from
Russell. to Hampton street, The COM
mittee Is further authorized to ad-
yertise sfor bids, under the specifica-
items obtained, when the council will
very likely award a contract for the
work and have It to begin at once.
> Russell street Is already paved
with vitrifed brick from Broughton
on the west to Lownan street on the
east, nearly one mile, and the action
of council last Friday night seeks to
continue the paving east to the track
of the Southern Railway Company at
the, Passenger Station. After this is
completed the paving will be ,contin-
.ued on .Broughton street south to-
ward the Atlantic Coast Line passen-
ger. rdepot, and in d few: years this
beautiful and important thoroughfare
will ybe .brick-paved for about half
a mile. n,
" The council also, has in contempla-
tion the placing ,of considerable
amount more Of concrete sidewalks
under the plan adopted year ago,
whereby the city bore one-half the
cost and owners Of the fronting prop
erty the other. half. Last year more
than two thousand dollars were spent
by the city and property owners under
this arrangement, ana II mas proven
satisfactory.
|! Besides the above named improve
ments the council also authorized the
committee on strnets to open up sew
eral short, streets donated to the city
and whereon residences will soon be
erected. The steady; and substantial.
growth Of Orangeburg is to be seen.
