Another important change In the
management of this splendid institu

live management of the bank to
again pursue his chosen profession,

membered that Mr. Denmark suc
ceeded Mr. E. W. Lane to this posf
flon when that gentleman accepted
the presidency of the Atlantic Nation

standing the great popularity of Mr.
Lane, under Mr. Denmark’s manage

president remarked to the directors,

One gentleman spoke about South
Carolina farmers beating us in the

they do so, but there is little rea

the same chance here that they have
in South Carolina. They jiave the
sea island and salt dew and we have
the same. The facts are that for the
last twenty years we have had a bet
ter market for cotton in the seed
that for lint and in consequence have
been induced to make cotton tt> sell
in the seed, crowding the cotton in
the drill and otherwise, and causing
a short growth in lint, with the

must be remembered that it requires
a proper amount of bright sunshine

fine sample of lint. When the plant
