H. Greer thirty-eight years ago He kept his promise and got his price, but it took him thirty-eight years to do it. Back in 1872—December 19, to be exact —T. H. Greer, a prosperous farm er of Butts county, ginned a bale of cotton by water power, the gin being the Griswold, then in use, and the old hand lever press w»s used. The wet had not been over long at the time and cotton was high—higher than it has been since then, with one exception. The market was 16 cents that sea son, but as this bale was late in being Bring Us Your Lumber Bill. Good Lumber At the Right Price MODERN BUILDERS SUPPLY CO.

Whereupon he would not sell for less than that figure. Accordingly he car ried the bale of cotton back home, where it had remained until last month. Mr. Greer drove to town and an offer of 16 cents a pound was made to him and he accepted it. The cotton was bought by Etheridge, Smith & Co., well known local buyers. They have placed the cotton in the front of their store, and it is being viewed by hundreds of persons. When first ginned the bale of cotton weighed 505 pounds. Only one time since it was first packed has it been repacked, and that was in 1905, when it was found to be perfectly sound. So far as known, this is the oldest bale of cotton on record. Local cotton buyers had their eyes on this bale of eotton for a long time. Durfng the Louisiana exposition at St. Louis Mr. Greer was offered a fancy price for his cotton, it being desired for exhibition purposes, but he would not part with it. During the Sully boom a few seasons ago cotton went above 16 cents, the first time since 1872, when the cotton was first ginned. At that Practical Plumbing in all its branches is our special work.

Epigrams For Men and IVomen by the Countess De Talleyrand Special Diepatch. Paris, April 30.—The Countess Vera de Talleyrand, a well known social leader of Paris, has just circulated among her intimate personal frieds, a little printed book entitled “Thoughts and Remembrances.” It is from her own pen. Here are some of her epi grams: “To please women, one must adhere to only one.” “Women never come of age; reason time he could have sold the bale for 16 1-2 cents a pound, but he thought it would go to 20 cents a pound, and so missed his chance of selling, for the market soon went down. Mr. Greer is now an old man. He is a familiar and well known figure and belongs to the well known family of Greers, who have lived in this county since Robert Greer wrote his famous almanac, back in the first part of last century. TRAINING CROWN PRINCE German Kaiser’s Oldest Son to Be .Made Colonel and Put in Com mand of Garrison. Berlin, April 30.—Another notable step in the education of the German crown prince for his future duties as emperor is in prospect. Having acquired a thorough military training and taken a course of instruc tion in the various departments of civil government, the future emperor will now be given an opportunity to study intimately the life and habits of the people over whom he is destined to rule. To that end it is proposed that his imperial hignness shall take up his resi dence in the provinces for a prolonged period. There, far removed from the narrow prescriptions and prejudices of court and amv life, ho is to acquaint himself with the great German world which lies outside Berlin and Pots dam. A statement bearing the marks of of ficial inspiration intimates that the crown prince’s appointment to the com mand of a regiment at Breslau, Stet tin, Konigsburg. or somewhere in the Rhine valley will shortly be gazetted. The crown prince will be 28 in May. He has held the rank of major for three years. Both by temperament and train ing he is considered competent to as sume the command of a garrison as col onel, and to play the independent role in the community which such a rank would give him.
