Freak Pig
H. C. DesChamps is the owner of a
freak pig (now in alcohol) which
has been attracting much attention
for the past two days. The little
freak has the head of a human, but
the normal body of its four-footed
ancestors. It was one of a litter of
four pigs, aU the others being normal.
The animal died Sunday night,
despite efforts of Mr. DesGhamps to
rear it. Monday it was placed in
alcohol.?Sumter Herald.

Had Debts
A debt begins to "turn" bad u few
days after it is due, and the longer it
remains unpaid, the badder it gets.
There are two distinct ways to decide
just exactly when a debt is a bad
debt, via sly: If your customer stops
trading with you and dodges you on
the street or highways, badness has
set in: and if you see him spinning
around town in a new automobile 2]
months after he should have paid
you, you can include his account in
the bad debt lot along with others
that you have had pile up on you in
the same manner.
A debt is a bad debt even if it is
owed by a socallcd "good" man if
he won t pay it. Some folks think
because they are financially good and
mortally dependable that it doesn't
matter how long they take to "come
across." I have never considered
debts that had to be paid by the administrator
very satisfactory assets.
The man who can pay his debts at
maturity and waits 2 years or 6 year*
to do so is worse than the fellow
that can't pay them but wants to.
* 9
There are several ways to try to
collect bad debts, but there's no certain
method or means that will pan
out. Statistics say that there are 34,000
collecting agencies in the U. o.
They operate on this plan: First, you
give tnem 75 dollars in cash. Second,
they turn over some blanks and
letters to you to be mailed out. Third
they leave town. Fourth, that's the
last of them.
The average man has 870,543,234,054
excuses tor not paying a debt that
he doesn't ever expect to pay, but
the main ones are: "tyly ole 'oman
tuck the side plurisy last night and I
had to send her to the horse-pittle.''
"Everybody's been down sick at my
house might nigh 3 months." "1 had
! to pay the instalment on my Ford."
1 "My grammaw died the fofe Sunday."
I "The bank ruint me?took all I had."
One out of every 507,450,879,999 of
these aforesaid excuses is possibly the
trdth. But the best excuse is:
"Gimme time.'
But, I know and you know that
there are thousands and thousands
of good honest people that can't pay
their honest debts, but they don't
dodge about and skip around them.
When a man can't pay his debts and
yet is willing to try to pay them, he's
I all right. Merchants and money lenders
and traders lose more money
every year because they trusted
some untrustworthy people than it
takes to run the entire government
of the U. S. for a period of 10 years
?under the republican regime at
that. The devil's chief weapon is
debt. It ruins the disposition of the
man that is trying to collect it and
likewise conjures the soul of the guy
that owes it unless, of course, he
has lost his conscience.
Spring House Cleaning
I went home to lunch the other day
as usual. (Notice: 1 say lunch now
for dinner. My banker says lunch).
When I got in sight of the house I
made up my mind that the installment
houses were fore-clo^ng on me. It
looked like everythirig that we had
ever had in the house was out in the
yard and on the front porch.
The first thing I discovered was
my nice Sabbath suit lying on the
grass with- somebody's dog lying pn
it and I am not lying on anybody
when I say that I kicked that dog so
hard it started an ingrowing toe nail
on my left hoof. I never knew a dog
could shed as much hair as that dog
shedded on my suit and not be left
buck naked, but after that canine
f:ot up, he still seemed to have neary
as much hair on him as I had on
my suit.
f The next thing that attracted my
attention was my trunk lying on its
back in the walk-way. It was leaking
badly. It does look like folks
would learn in 20 years of married life
never to turn a locked trunk up on
edge. There's danger of breaking the
contents thereof, and they broke in
this case.
Our new rug which Cumm & Gitit
sold us last month for only X, dollar
(dowtl) was stretched across the
pitchfork and two prongs had done
eronged themselves right thru the
ig cat that had woven into the
garment. That means that we can't
ever give that thing back? why, itN| ,
put nigh ruint, and yet?it's practically
new. '
Well, I stepped into the setting I
room, find my feet came in to contact
with the freshly waxed floor and they
fleW straight up iu concert and I got
badly hurt rignt betwixt the hall
rack and the piano. I have never
yet understood why folks insist on
slick floors. They would be all right
if a fello^ wanted to slide around instead
of foilk about. ~
I soon began a search for lunch.
The dining room looked like a cy- ,
:lone had struck it. There wasn't a
thing in the breakfast room except
the electric light. The" kitchen was
;old and destitute. I thought I'd
ind solace in my bed-room, but when
[ got in there, the mattress was
nissing, and the bed-stead looked like
t had collided with an oil truck I
lon't think. I ever saw a house more
:orn up pr my life. The clock had
?ven popped.
' r-* o ???????
I deefded I wasn't hungry and went
m back to work. Spring houae-cleanng
is a terrible ordeal to have to
>ass thru. My things didn't yet ftx d
back in shape for two weelcs, and
never haVe found half of my peronal
belongings. I think it would

Production of Parts
Demand Third of Plant
Detroit, April 16.?The manufacture
of replacement parte for the
millions of Model "T" Ford cars still
in daily use continues to demand
nearly one third the production capacity
of Ford plants here.
Ford officials estimate, from re
ports of dealers all over the country,
that there are still approximately
eight millions of the Model "T" cars
in constant use in the United States.
Some of these cars are many years
old. Kvery now and then there are
reports of Ford cars of the old brasshound
radiatojr types of twelve or
fourteen years ago, still running
after more than a hundred thousand
miles of service.
The newest of the Model "T" Fords
is now nearly a year old, for the production
of assembled Model "T" cars
was suspended in May 1927 to make
way for the new Model "A".
This suspension of assembled
Model "T" cars did not affect the production
schedule of Model "T" replacements
parts, however. Throughout
the past year the manufacture of
Model "T" parts continued to occupy
about one-third the production capacity
of the Ford plants.
A few days ago newspaper cor- 1
respondents here asked Henry Ford
how long he expected to continue
making parts for Model "T" cars.
"Until the last Model 4T' is off the
roads," Mr. Ford replied promptly.
Then he added: "That may be ten
years, but we do not intend to allow
any Ford car ever to become obsolete
as long as it can be made useful with
reasonable' replacements."
Ford engineers, from tests and observations
made over a long period
of years, have estimated that the
average useful life of a Model "T"
Ford car is about seven years.
Dorothy N. Biddick, 15 high school
girl of Washington, was arrested
Monday charged with bootlegging.
She told the police that she entered
the business to support her mother.
Interest Great Falls Road
A delegation of business men
from Liberty Hill were in Great
Fulls last Friday in the interest of
the highway from Camden through
Liberty Hill, to Great Falls. This
route is known as State Highway
Number 97 and extends from Great
Kalis to Chester.
The people of Camden, Liberty
Hill and Chester, as well us Great
Falls, are interested in the highway
commission opening this highway,
which would make a through
route from the Camden section
through Great Falls to Chester
and thence to Spartanburg, Hendersonville,
Asheville and other points
in Western North Carolina and also
the Western part of South Carolina.
By the co-operation of the above
named towns it is thought that action
toward the building of this highwuy
will commence in the near future.
The Liberty Hill citizens who
visited Great Falls learned of the
proposed new county and state that
they hope nothing will come of it.
It is realized that the formution
of a new county just at this time
will be a draw back to road build
Describing Size of a Whale
A number of Union county people
have within the past few days gone
to Wrightsville Beach to see The
Whale. All assure me that after
viewing the Big Fish they are eonstrained,
or at least, strengthened in
their belief that the Bible story of
Jonah was not overdrawn. One man
said he could drive his Dodge car
into the whale's mouth while another
reported that he could ride his mule
into the fish's belly.
But my friend, J. O. Long, the popular
jeweler, came into personal contact
with his whaleship. Mr. Long
had on his Easter suit and while inspecting
the big mammal his foot
slipped and he fell against it. Joe
said that he came put' nigh ruining
a good suit of clothes, "That, whale
had humps of oil on him as big as a
quart measure," said Mr. Long, "and
was the greatest mess I ever saw.
I've had enough of whales to last a
lifetime."?Monroe Enquirer.
ing in the section mentioned and for
this reason and many others it is
hoped that the new county idea will
become a thing of the past.?Chester

l'/2 Bales per Acre
r<'probably the best crop in the State"
A yield of one and one-half bales of
cotton per acre, in spite of weather and
weevil. Consider this fact. It is particularly
important right now when you are
planning Spring fertilization.
Mr. Spearman used "AA QUALITY"
fertilizer and got his best crop
in a farming experience of thirty years.
Hundreds of enthusiastic letters have
come to us from successful cotton growers
who use "AA QUALITY" Fertilizers.
Despite weather and weevil, they
report large yields per acre.
Mr. Spearman writes: "My crop
is probably the best crop in the State,"
and ends with this significant statement,
"I believe your formulas are perfectly
suited to South Carolina soils."
The formulas of "AA QUALITY"
Fertilizers are exactly suited to South
Carolina soils* Famous crop and soil
experts have prepared these fertilizers
for use on your field. " These fertilizers
are made right* Crop records year after
year prove it. v
The largest fertilizer company in the
world guarantees the quality of "AA
QUALITY" Fertilizers. Over sixty
years of fertilizer experience are back
'of every bag*

iy2 BALBS OF COTTON PBR ACRE . . . Hon.
W. D. Spearman, Bailey, Pickens County, S. C., saysi
"I used only 400 Ibt. of 'AA QUALITY' Fertilizer
per acre without lop-dretting or roda and I have
been informed by thoie who are acquainted with the
cotton situation thi? season that it it probably the
betI crop in the 'late, the yield being around 1 '/a
baler per acre. Thit it by far the bett crop I have
ever grown and I have been farming for around 30
years. I think thit it a very fine recommendation
for 'AA QUALITY' Fertilizers. I believe your formulas
are perfectly suited to soil conditions in South
Carolina."?Sept. 23, 1927.
l'/a BALBS PBR ACRB ... Mr. B. J. Sloan of
Fountain Inn, Greenville County, S. C., sayst "I
have used your 'AA QUALITY Fertilizer this year
on my cotton crop and I have had very fine results.
I am tending you tome picluret of a field of cotton
frown with 'AA QUALITY' Fertilizer from which
expect to gather around one at\^^ne-half bales pet
acre. I think thit it a good recotfflMM/a/ion for 'A A
QUALITY' Fertilizer"'?Sept. 8, 1927.
23% TO 30% BETTER RESULTS ...WW.
McCsrtsf of Antreville, Abbeville County, S. C., i
saysi "I used around 1,000 lbs. of 'AA QUALITY'
Fertilizer per acre on my cotton crop this year
and it it around 23% to 30% belter in yield and
quality than when I used the other goods. It pays
to use 'AA QUALITY' Fertilizer."?Sept. 8, 1927.
PRAISES MECHANICAL CONDITION ... Mr.
J T. Bdwards of Taylors, Greenville County, S. C.,
, ssrys: "I have a very fine cotton crop grown with
'AA QUALITY' goods this year. It will average
around one bale per acre, which it a mighty fine
yield considering the unfavorable season. The fine
' uniform mechanical condition of 'AA QUALITY'
Fertilizers it a big help in getting uniform crops, to
toy nothing of their superior quality."?Sept. 22.
