DeKalb Pharmacy Telephone 95 | Zemp & I) e Pass Telephone 10 FLAPPKKS I SE SLANG Takes a Wine Old (iuy to KtM?p I'p With Talk of Young Folk Atlanta, (ia. -The .soft Southern drawl famed in sons; and story as characteristic of the belles of Dixie is being pretty badly strained to take care of the 1925 brand of slang the flappers are using. I)o you, for instance, know what a "bush ape" is? In Dixit- flapperese, it is the type of a guy who ia all nerve, inlaid with brass and the sort who always gets a telephone call just when ^he waiter is approaching with the bill. Ever meet a "wrapper?" ThafV a fat lady who is living on lamb chops and pineapple,, aud taking her daily dozen because her husband likes slim girls and she is trying to pet that way. Sudden fits of temper on the part of plump young women are often described by th? remark: "Poor kid, she's an awfpl wap, you know," "Hopscotching mother" which is not only a favorite phrase, but al.-jo a popular custom, means putting one over on the maternal parent. "Mushrooms" are wild oats of a mild variety. "Picking" or tearing off mushroom*" means that one is seeing a bit of life, but not too much. A modern girl- who' "knows her mush rooms" is one who knows a thtng-or two, and the expression is one of commendation and carries no slur on manners or morals. (J iris are no longer referred to as flappers, members of Shebas, but simply as "shes." They., may be "static shes," which means "dumb Doras," "smooth shes" ? those who know their stuff ? or "wet shes" who are perfectly hopeless. "Catnip" is the expression used to describe a crushing retort delivered to show incredulity. A favorite "catnip" for instance, is to wait until a long! and unconvincing spiel is ended and then say, apropos of nothing: "And | just then the shovel broke," or "oys- j ters don't get sunburned," or "snakes j wear no garters." "Wet smack" is now used to desig nate that unfortunate individual for- J merly known as a total loss, and j "cookie pushers" and "divan demons" { have taken the place of lounge j lizards. i Petters or neck artists who are j rather inept at their work are known as "fumblers," or "muffers." (Jold diggers are described as "hoisters," a word culled from ' the criminal world, and boobs are now called "mullets." And hero are a few more pet phrases without which the younger set would be forced to resort to sign language: "All dolled up like a French pastry." * "Reline your brakes, my good man." "She's not in my orchard, old fruit." "What's your wave length, dearie?" "Why cry over spilt milk? Call in the cat." "So full of ideas there's an R. O. sign hung on his ears." "He's no shiek, he's a mail order Mohamet." "One of those bathroom baritones." "W ell, meaning: .Just Like poison ivy." I'R A NK I N(i SflOT FATAL >1 ain "Snaps" Pistol and Dau^hter-in l.uw Falls in Death Dillon, Oct. ? Distrait with re morse. M. C. Strickland, tenant farm er on a plantation near here, sits with glazed eyes in the local jail while the 17-year-old wife of his equally youthful son sleeps the long: sleep, her life having been snuffed out when her brain wa? pierced by a bullet from the pistol with which Strickland was "pranking." The shooting occurred at Strick land's home Monday afternoon and according to his testimony at the coroner's inquest hekk soon after ward. Strickland had been doing some random shooting -about the place. Coming around the corner of the house he .spied his daughter-in law, Alma Strickland, and playfully waved the pistol at her. She asked if he wanted to shoot her, he says and states further that he turned the cylinder of the revolver back to where he thought the weapon would snap twice before firing. Aiming straight at the girl's face, he pulled the trig ger. the pistol fired and she fell over never to speak again. Strickland's testimony was partially corroborated by his daughter, Florence. Strickland, generally thought to be a sober man, is thought to have been drinking wine prior to <he shooting. The coroner suspected this from the odor of his breath and ordered a search that revealed a barrel of grape wine on the premises. L It is proposed to unearth and p*rt~ (w reconstruct the ancient Circn* Maximo* of Imperial Rove. ?? ? - _ V- * '? - -- Rl'KAL POLICEMAN KILLED Slayer Probably Fatally Injured in Triangle Shooting Spartanburg, Oct. tt.? 'Rural lJolio*?r man K. A. Shields is dead and J. K. Stacey and Solon Stacey, cousins, are probably fatally wounded, as a re sult of a shooting affray near Ches nee Thursday when the officer is said to have attempted to search a car in which the Staceys with J. E. Stacey'-) wife and sister were riding. According to a story told by Wil lis Green, Shields had parted his car in front of his home about a half mile from Chesnee between 8:30 and 9 o'clock. The Staceys, riding in a light roadster, passed and 9 short time later returned. "There is liquo? in that car," Green says Shields said as he started in pursuit. Misra Alice Stacey said that when Shields overtook them Solon stopped the car.- Shields approached with a drawn gun and J. E, jerked Solon's gun from his < Solon's) hand and the firing started, She says that she does not know who fired the first shot. Shields was shot twice, once in the body and once between the eyej. Solon Stacy received one wound and J. K. two. Only two shells had been fired in Shield's gun. One bullot is believed to have ' passed through Solon Stacey- and his cousin. Solon says he does not know who fired any of tha shots. J. E. told hospital au thorities that Shields shot him. Shields is the second Spartanburg county* officer killed v since June 1 in connection iwth liquor raids. . Rural Policeman J. R. Snoddy was killed near Cross Anchor June 5 by Oliver Harrison. A mistrial resulted from a hearing of the case in Union county last week. Constable Dave Williams was kiHed at Holly Springs June 8. Three Campbell brothers arc held. They claim the shooting was acci dental. , : ?

It was picking time and Bill was in a great stew .over the shortage of help to harvest his crop, when a tramp stopped by the fence and asked for work. , Bill looked the fellow over doubt fully and finally said: "If I were sure you are honest, I'd give you a job gathering these oranges." "Honest!" exclaimed the tramp with offended dignity. "I was man ager of a public bath house for fif teen years, and never took a single bath." ? Pittsburg Chroniclo-Tele graph.
