COLORFUL DICKERING
Observed: An humble and some
what awed country negro dickering
with a pompous, well dressed and
very black Negro preacher in front
of the bus station over the price of
a little chicken in th e hands of the
country Negro. “Do you have many
of them” inquired the parson. “Yas
ah, lots of them” was the reply. Af
ter inquiring where th e chicken ven
der lived the parson returned his big
cigar to his mouth and struck a pose
of pious dignity, raising on his toes
his hands crossed behind his back
gazing heavenward through a cloud
of smoke. The spell he cast over the
cowntry Negro was both quick and
complete for presently he was nest
ling the bird under his arm, and if
he paid him anything it must have
been something h e can cash in on in
the New Jerusalem for we saw no
money pass hands.
A KNEADY EDITOR
This one is so old we have no idea
who wrote it but assure you it is not
original:
It is reported that one of the fas
tidious newly married ladies' of this
town kneads bread with gloves on.
This kind of housewife may be a
little out of the ordinary but there
are others who have peculiarities of
their own. The editor of this paper
needs bread with his shoes on, he
needs bread with his pants on, and
unless some of the delinquent sub
scribers to this “Old Rag of Freedom”
pony up with coin of the realm be-,
fore long he will need bread without
a damn thing on, and this state is
no Garden of Eden in the winter
time.
Willie E. Hunter, 43, World War

The mention of cake always ri
minds me of one my first wife used
to make. She had a way of starting
at the bottom of the recipe and work
ing up. First she baked the pan
slowly for two hours, using a steel
hat pin to keep her hat on; then she
sifted three well beaten egg yolks
and ran them through a clothes
wringer, adding a handful of baking
powder and a pinch of gold dust;
next she folded in sufh fat as <our
meagre ) circumstances' allowed, and
put in another stick of wood;* then
she beat the three egg whites until
she, was blue in the face and the
eg<s. Completely wrecked, alte^nat-n
ing with equal parts of milk and pr6-
fanity, and probably a little flour.
Lastly she added a cup of butter
beaten to a frazzle and put th e whole
in the -refrigerator to freeze-to death.
This was no cake for a weakling,
but it was eating that that brought
to full bloom of fine manhood the
rugged individual who now addresses
you.
Pteace to her culinary ashes!

LAUDABLE UNDERTAKING
“The Civic League has planned this
big affair with only one idea in mind
—to boost Newberfy and to give all
Newberrians' and people living; in
Newberry county an opportunity to
visit Newberry’s beautiful park and
pool.” The quotation is f: om an ar
ticle in this issue concerning the cele
bration at Margaret Hunter Park
Friday, July 1st from six intil eight-
thirty. Indeed Newberr r needs
boosting and we have mu< h to boost
about. Newberry needs t< i make the
pcflPle of ftifc dbufity feel that they
ace jrolcome,to Cowberry and to all
that Newberry offers in 1 he way of
recreation. The money jf all the
people is invested in ou ■ beautiful:
park and pool; there'"is i apacity to
care for all comers and ■ ire hope toj
see an unusually large tu -nout from]
the rural section in the c ty Friday.

The first, and only, campaign meet
ing* for the 1938 primary was held in
the court house Wednesday night.
There were about 250 present, includ
ing a small sprinkling of women.
Chairman Neal W. Workman pre
sided, presenting a s the first speaker
J. Kess Derrick of Little Mountain,
offering for the House.
Mr. Derrick thought his section of
the county should have a representa
tive; one stirred by observation of dan
gerous trends in our social and eco
nomic life should offer himself for
service no matter what the sacrifice,
and do his best to right impending
wrongs; stood four-square for econo
my. The speaker touched on his ser
vice in the House and recalled that he
had never “run from a vote on a bill
that might prove uppopular.” Mr. Der
rick declared h e would be no coat-tail
swinger. “Why should I” he asked
“swing to anyone’s coat-tail to the det
riment of my county.” He declared
the present trend in spending must be
stopped to avert “threatened destruc
tion and save our homes.”
Dr. J. J. Dominick
Doctor Dominick, seeking re-elec
tion to the House said he had served
6 years and summed up some of his
work; stood and worked for getting
full value for the tax dollar; did his
best for labor and for the home and
farm owner.
“I have always stood for practical,
constructive legislation” he declared.
Dr. Dominick reminded his hearers
that it was not he who brought about
ai'Change-ta’ the method of collecting
delinquent'■taxes-"which •saved- mope:
