My beat friend's wife who Uvea in Baltimore with my best friends wrote me a few days ago that her husband was in the hospital there, having just undergone a serious operation* and she asked me to write him one of my "cheerful" letters, and I <tyd so, as you will observe from the following excepts therefrom: , . .? ^ Dear Bryant: Staying in a hospital a few weeks is not such a horrible experience. 1 know what I am talking about. Just 2 years ago today, 1 was escorted to the operating table where I spent a couple of unsatisfactory hours. The doctors cut and sawed about 6 hun?fed dollars worth of my innards out nd thought once of cutting my gall out too, to make it 25 dollars more, but that organ was so large they decided it would be^H*st to leave it in as I would suffer too much loss in I weight if its were to 'be extracted. (They said this, I think, because I had asked them to operate on me on credit and then get u free bed in a private room for me). Well, the first day or so 1 was encompassed about with pain and misery and suffering, but time wore on, and so did I. About the third day I knew I was getting bette* because 1 smiled at one of those angelic nurses that happened to be feeling my pulse and holding my hand at the same time. (By the way, ain't nurses pretty, tho?) At the beginning of the fourth day, I considered a hospital about the finest place in the world to stay. You can always tell when you are improving and when you ain't when you are in a ho*pit*). When the nurte take* your temperature and hold* your hand and smiles on you, all at the itme time, you are improving. When aha bends over to fix your pillow and yog tickle her chin and ahe grins, theft it's time for you to tell your old lady that she should always knock beforf coming into your room. Now, if yopr case isn't too aeriuuft and I don't think it is, by the tenth day, you'll be wanting to have xom'o candy sent up to the nurses. On the eleventh day, if you are propped up in bed and your nurse sits on the side of your bed and pats you on the stummick, then it won't be long be* fore the doctor will be dismissing you. Hut? When the nurse brushes your hair and leaves off taking your temperature and removes the bandages and gives you an alcohol rub, then begins to blush and you begin to blush, right then you'd better get up, put on your clothes und go home. You're cured. Your true friend, Gee McGee. Yes, 1 am a Music Lover. About 2 years ago I went to a music festival. I never did find out why in the world they called the thing a music-XfWtival. It cost 4 dollars to get in and when you got in you had* to sit on an old pine bence for 3 hours and pretend that you were drinking in the "sweet stuff" that came forth from Galli Gerka and Tali Pinto and Zidhu Zerski when they opened their mouths. (When 1 got out of that place I had corns aplenty and they were not in the "pams" of my hands either). I watched some of the so-called high-brows at this entertainment. They would weave and heav their bodies in harmony with the music (?) and nod and wobble their heads just as if they understood the classical stuff and were enjoying it. Some of them couldn't have told whether Zeremski was crying or yelling fire or singing if they had not paid to get in the place. Naturally, they assumed that he was singing. I sat there exactly 1 hour'and 28 minutes .'and didn't get to pat my foot a single time. There wasn't any tune to pat a foot to. There were all kinds of notes from 30 days after date to 1 year after maturity, but there were no 2 notes alike. One guy would jump from a flat to j high in the same breath, and before you'd know it, he'd holler out a c-minor and gradually drift into a deep, dull groan for 2 minutes. I never got so tired of anything since I had had the measles. I would sit up there and clap and clap and encore and was praying all the time that the person singing would either faint or take congestion of the thorax or larin-gitis. ^ But if I had not of done like the other folks who were not enjoying the exhibition. I would have been classed as an idiotic simplicity from the sticks. After they got thru singing (that's what they called it), they brought out some fiddles and other musical instruments, and- I began to congratulate myself for. being present I knew right then that I'd get my money s worth, but if what they "performed" was music, a cat fight is a brass band. Obo note would sound like a wagon wheel a-screeching, and all the others were only indescribable noises. They ran from a keen "e" to bourse "c". But you should have seen the happy faces that were gazing upo nthe spectacle. Aand, maybe they were as happy as they looked I'm not saying there weren't several folks like to hear a screech owl screech and a jaybird jay and a chimpanzee wheeze, but excuse me j please. And to think: they called it all music. Not an "Old Black Joe" or "A Turkey in the Straw" or "When You and I YVere Young, Maggie" was on the program. Order Holds I'p Decision. Columbia, Jan. 30.?An order stay* ing the remlttur in the>.Sunday gasoline sales case was filed with the clerk of the supreme court today by Chief Justice Watts, which has the effect of holding up the decision of the court pending the decision as -$o whether a rehearing shall be grant-' ed. The Sunday !awTs application to gasoline sales', ap declared by the supreme court would have become' fective next Sunday, the remittur in the case going to the clerk of the circuit court in Charleston on Tuesday. Sending down of the remittur means that the case would haye passed out of the hands of the kupreme court and the court's decision would have become operative as law. However, the stay ordered by Ghief Justice Watts means'that the remittitur will not be sent down Tuesday, and hthe entire case .'flow stands in statusquo, as it was prior to the ^.decision by Justice ^tease, >ending the outcome of the decision of the court on the petition for a re-hearing. In the legislature efforts are being made to amend the Sunday laws, so as to allow gasoline .sales on Sunday. - . T ( ' '"^7" "'J '"i"? ? f i, r.'

Large Liquor Outfit Captured A huge double boiler steam distilling plant, fired up and in full operation, was discovered by Deputy Sheriff Thompson and Chief of Rural Police Dunawuy late last night IB miles from Columbia near the old Camden road.
