1 UtCUU), vfvJlIUkILJ i Vt J "MARSE HENRY" ON CORN f BREAD. G reenwood In dex-Journa!. The death of Col. Henry Wattersonj at Jacksonville several days ajro has) revived many incidents in his brilliant career as a journalist, showing his many-sidedness as an editorial writer. T-nis paper reproduced yesterday his f - l 4-U ~ J anions editorial tan.'iij; inc nanui^ j to arms against German imperialism j "which won for him the Pulitzer prize. I Here is another instance of his versa-' tility: Several months ago Col. George ; M. ?>iiiey, witty editor of the Houston j Post, protested vigorously against a new recipe for corn bread in which sugar was a principal ingredient. He declared it to be an abomination, and Col. Watterson took up the fight for the kind of corn biead that the old biack mammies used to make in the j following graphic defense: ^ 4 iinfU m if woe on I VXCCiU ?> Uil ill lb it uo U11 I idea !bom of the devil, planted in New England and sent South 'by our enemies. It is threatening the life of real corn bread right in the land of! ? i its birth. It has done and is doing] worse. It makes men trifling and wo- j men frivolous. It is responsible for! most of the murders, suicides and divorces. It is the mother of Bolshevism and the caddy of anarchy. It weakens the brain, infuriates the liver and makes people pot-bellied. 11 brings corns and baldness and saf fronizes the complexion. It makes j the rose shiny and the skin purple. ( It drives husbands downtown of nights. It causes the servants to he insolent and obstreperous. It creates an appetite for mo-onshine. It emboldens a man to refuse his wife's request for money. But for rugar in corn bread, there would 'be no war, no ffres or mosquitoes, no ants or roaches, no I. W. W., no Republican party. Let the twentieth amendment to the constitution forever prohibit sugar in corn bread and let's have the vot.p rie-ht aw a v. _.0 v This would seem all-embracing and i is sufficiently conclusive. New England may know how to bake beans. They say the cider in Maine is a good substitute for whiskey. It must -be admitted that in Boston 'punkin pie' is no slouch. But corn bread? La! That requires all that George Ealley iays, and a pair of old black bands j to boot?and: a "red bandana han-d-j kerchief?and old black mammy's; voice, rich, mellow and devotional, singing: "How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord.'* There is little to add to this except! the thanks of the mighty congregation of cornfields throughout the South. The South has not in late years been as trurt to its political traditions in all respects as it might have been. Let the South be on guard against this threat by the enemy to put sugar in our corn bread. We confess that recently we were slightly disturbed by the saber rattling of a writer on table ediquette who fired from behind the breastworks of The Kansas City Star, which has some circulation on i the borderland of the fcoutn. This etiquette hound tried to teach; us a new way to eat fried chicken.1 He ?or she?sneered at the only; way most of us ever knew or cared I for, of holding the chicken in the fin-; gers and biting it, and said the pro-1 per way was to cut the chicken off: the bone with a knife and fork and j never touch it with the fingers. As I if that could be done. Now we do not think the Kansas City man is likely to get very far with his attack upon an old and hon-1 ored custom in the South, .but we: resent it that he could even have j thought of the new and hifalutin way; of eating chicken and that he could have had the hardihood to propose at; publicly. His gesture is at least an' alarming symptom, and so we should' be on guard. Else, yielding here and there, we' must finally be driven away from ev-' en the hot biscuits which have hon-| ored the South scarcely less than its warriors, statesmen and poets. _ - j SOUEEZE^I to nrathi i When the bcdy begins to stiffen i and movement becomes painful it j is usually an indication that the | kidneys are out of order.

"I made Wrigley's synonymous with chewing gum iby advertising. When people saw Wrigleys they thought of gum. When they wanted gum they thought orf Wrigley's," he | continued.

Your committee to formulate a ^ schocl program for the legislature ^ met in Columbia December 14th. A b careful study of the school budget ^ was made. ,a ! We emphatically urge a united ef- ^ fort to keep the schools on their pres- ^ lent level and to maintain unimpaired r | every agency now serving to .bring 0 ! about the existing: standard. High L j schools should not be allowed to go e [backward. The attendance of coun- ^ try boys and girls on established high * 'schools, and the establishment of ad- ^ j ditional centralized high schools in * j rural communities 'ought to be a fixed r j policy in our educational system. e The present allowance of S3.00 per c' i month for high school tuition is inad- s equate. The addition of some twen- c ,ty new high schools during the schol- ^ jastic year 1921-22 ought to be genu- c 'inely gratifying to us all. It has been recommended that the high school tu- F , it ion allowance be raised from $3.00 e ;per month to $7.00 per month in or- t der to cover actual expenses. Unless d this is done many cities and towns a may be compelled to withdraw from t the state high school system. The F present allowance does not even pay t the teacher's salary. J These two items account for the t 'hijrh school request of $484,200.00. c The Equalizing law seeks to ?ive a t | seven months' term in rural districts, d It also seeks to provide an average c salary of SI00.00 per month for com- i potent teachers holding: a first grade t license. This standard is low. It has already subjected the state and the t school workers to adverse criticism, o Its maintenance is fundamental.
