' * Jnmps from Politics to Kissing. ; : j Greenwood Journal. 1 General Hemphill, the editor of ( the Abbeville Medium, used to believe 1 in extending the elective franchise to 4 women. We believe that he was as * near universal suffrage as any man in the South who has ever been in poli- i tics. In fact Editor Hempbill was a j fine politician in his day and time, i and he reckoned not without reason when he essayed to have the women { f on his side and with them sweep the f field in whatever he undertook. We < | r i i QO HOI iiUOW wuai. vjrtruei ai Jiciupuhi o ( j political creed is now, it is evident, ] however, that he is not a McLiurin- t ite. Iiecentlv he has put aside theo- I i ries of political economy and branch- J 4 k , ' , d out on a definition of kissing. He i ells the readers of the Medium what ! >art of speech kissing is and the va- j iou3 changes the word makes in the j ollowing squib: Kissing is a doud, it's a name; iroper doud, because it's the proper ! hing to do when they are ready sdJ 1 be heart is willing; plural number, j lecause it takes two to perform it: rcmmon gender, because it's generallv j serfonned by cce c f each sex: pos- ! ess:te case, becauseitpossesses a de- J irious infatuation for the human race tnd agrees with the party performing he act. Kissing is closely connected i rith ''bus,:? which is a good old backroods expression, meaning a kiss that j s highly enjoyed by two greenhorns j rho have powerful lunge to perform i he act with. In this case bue means >ne kiss, rebus means to kiss again, ; jiutibus means a number of kisses, lorribus means to be caught kissiDg )y the old folks, merribus means to j iteal a kiss, sillybus means to kiss the j lands instead of the lips, blunderbus I neans to kiss an old maid by mistake, j ind omnibus means to kiss all pres- j ;nt including your mother in law.

The recent outburst of Southern indigaticu over President Roosevelt's invitation to Backer T. WabiDgton to dine at the White House recalls a stcry which has been published before, but is perhaps worth relating. Two well-to do women from the Southern States were making a tour of Europe not long ago. In London they had some difficulty in procuring J rooms that suited them. They had looked long and had grown weary when they entered a first class hotel which had been highly recommended | to them, but which, on accounto? the I high prices, they bad reserved for the j last. To their dismay they found I .r-- i r?11 e i._ ii t i me oouse so iuu oi guesus iutti uuij | one room remained empty. It was shown to them, however, j and so pleased were they with it that : they could Dot repress exclamations of joy at not being obliged to look on any further, although they knew that a wiser policy would have been to decry it. "It is indeed a nice room," said the nolite attendant, "and. though rather r , , ? 0 high priced, it ought to be especially desirable for Americans." ' Why so?" was asked. "Because your Mr. "Washington one occupied it," was the answer. ''Indeed," exclaimed the Americans. "How lovel}!" After they had engaged the room and were talking about its good points it occurred to them that the hotel was far too modern ever to have been # ..mi T-t . a 1 /~i l. 11 seeu oy "lneratneroi msuouncry. So summoning the attendant, they taxed him with telling a falsehood, saying: "What do you mean by trying to impose on us with your story of George Washington sleeping in this room once? President Washington died long before this hotel was ever built." "Pardon me, ladies," replied the hurt hotel employee, "I meant Booker T. Washington." Great was the surprise when the Southern women insisted upon changing their room for one less commodious. They had none of the feeling which prompted President Roosevelt to dine with him at the White House the other day. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Try them When you feel dull after eating.
