ring almost all of his career, he
was a factor of large influence
and means in the cotton world.
There are many interesting sto-
ries told of his gigantic opera
tions. He was for a. long time
a member of the New York Cot
ton Exchange and among those
who commanded influence from
the South, he was regarded as
one of the most dependable.
When the Sully "boom" was at
it's height, Mr.. Heath, like many
others, came within an ace of
selling out the day before the
crash came. He then would have
profited to the extent, it is re-
Iiably stated, of almost two mil
lion dollars. He eventually got
out but his profits were hardly
one-third of that sum.
Big Operations.
Mr.. Heath believed in operat-
ing on a big scale and never did
he lose his trading nerve, even
until the last. He suffered fl
nanciaI reverses on several oc-
casions but he always believed
that he could and would "come
back" And this he did repeat
edly. Several years ago he lost
heavily and a combination of un-
fortunate circumstances held
him back for quite a time. He
was just beginning to recoup
when his health failed and that
appeared to affect him serious
ly. His financial baskets were
small as compared to his physi-
cal ailments and then on top of
all this came the stroke of pa
ralysis which he suffered last
year. Big in vision, generous in
disposition and kind TO all man.
kind, gifted with a nerve that
nothing could shake, Mr.. Heath
loomed large on the financial no.
.rizon of Charlotte in his day. 1t
is said of him that at one time,
in the heydey of his prosperity,
he had more cash money on de-
posit in Charlotte banks than
any other individual.
Mr.. Heath was a Methodist,
as were his parents before him
and he held his membership in
Trinity Church. He was a large
contributor to all the causes OF
the Church.

Use The Pencil.

One of the most important of
farm implements is sadly neg
lected on many South Carolina
farms. 1t can b bought for five
cents or less. Yet an intelligent
use of it can save a farmer hun
dreds of dollars. Use of it will
in many cases turn an unprof-

or will increase the profits where
some are already being made.
This marvellous farm implement
