French on reading Sir John French's

II says:
"AIy dear Lady French: I write these
few lines to tell you how much ! ad-
mire your husbands dispatch, and how
proud am of the splendid work done
by the troops under his command.
When the whole story of the war
comes to be known, the mastery way
in which the retreat from Mons, under
vastly superior numbers, was carried
out will be remembered as one of the
finest military exploits ever achieved

THE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS

Misunderstanding somewhere about
the date and time for the holding of
the meeting OF the Democratic Clubs.
April 25th. is the day. the fourth Sat

of the democratic party provides that
the clubs shall meet on the fourth
Saturday in April every election year
TO reorganize for the, years work.

THE SHORT HAIL

Sometime ago We discussed the To-
cal cotton market condition and ex-
pressed the hope that Senator +. D..
Smiths grading bill would put all
markets on parity, and prevent the
North Georgia points from having any
advantage
There is another consideration that
enters into the case-the long haul and
the short haul. We would recon-
mend to the people of Anderson that
they get good roads and shorten the
haul. Otherwise Georgia will draw
cotton from this side of the river on
account of their good roads.
j. ]. Fretwell who has been over
on the Georgia side recently, reports
the roads over there mnch better than
on this side. Tom J. Bolt states that
few years ago Georgia looked upon
Anderson as being % years ahead OF
the counties across the Savannah.
Now tirc Georgia people nave caught
up and are getting ahead of Ander-
son. Let us build more roads and
better roads and bring more trade to
Anderson.

A GOOD SELECTION

Francis II. Weston, United States
district attorney. has begun well by
naming Senator b. w. Crouch of Sa-
iuda, his assistant. Senator Crouch is
n splendid man and good lawyer.
The State Senate has lost two good
men In Senator'S Weston and Crouch.
While this paper did not particular
~ favor Senator Weston as an applI-
cant, yet We wish 20 express the belief
that as district attorney he will make
splendid record. He is capable
lawyer and man of vigor and force.
His first move shows that he will sur
round himself with good men.
