The tlios either die in the gravy bowl or get drowned in ;he milk pitcher. r ~ and i endorsed a note for my wife's cousin, sum, and it looks like him or 1 1 will hafter pay it and he's gone, my d pig? wore out their snouts in I the bermuda patch and now they are I starving, my kinfolks ain't got no j company room and i can't go visitj ing. i am down in the back, and my I ankle is sprung, and my hed akes, and my stummiek ain't fit for human use. i am down and out, 7 tell you, and so is all the rest of the farmers, if we keep on a farming, we got to have free guanner, low gas, mules on creddivk, 50 cent labor, and the mack-nary-hoggin bill passed, and cheap monney. rite or foam if you think i'm right, and pray for us farmers. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. A fellow from North Carolina told me that a guy from Alabama, told him that a man who runs an orphanage in Georgia swapped a 10-year old boy to a farmer for a milch cow and got I dollars to boot. It is almost a positive fact that not over 10 per cent of the K. K. Ks. will vote for A1 Smith. (They ain't got no tax receipt?and furthermore, they ain't wet ansoforth). The colored woman who got dog bit in her front piazza one day last week is reported out of danger so far ' as the dog is concerned, according to news received through the medium of our cook. The dog died, she says, with the rabbits last Wednesday. She thinks maybe the bit woman took the pasture treatment: they have a big pasture, so she says. Ain't vtygs bad the when they have hy-dry-fo-by ? She says they are. 1 am very fond of candidates. : They all seem to have manr.? rs ar.d 1 politeness that they were ne\er accused of before Hand shk:ng comes a mania with most candidates. 1'hey think that shows a deep-seated spirit of cordiality and intermittent love and affection. One of our candidates has turned over a new leaf since he began running a in': whipped his wife hut twice in nearly 3 weeks. 1 am glad then's something to help reform folk- looks l:ke our chtirche- ain't getting rownco with some * f them. I ha\e a good friend f at has toll me 'he same joke once r w.ce every week since ! moves! t< town. It's something about cutting batter-cakes with a broad-axe. 1 have never paid much attention to it. I really can't recall now who cooked the batter cakes in question, or who owned the axe. I wish ho would learn a now joke; 1 think he heard thle joke from hi* dear old yreat?grand-father who died before the Civil War, and I am not sure that the broad-axe was used to c ut batter-cakes. Looks like It would be too big for that. COTTON LETTER New York, Aug, 7,?Yesterday's squeeze was unexpected, and a few bulls were caught short t lie re-by, and were forced to straddle. Th?^ shower in Brazil put spots down 10 points as it was Chili, and not needed any way. Several boll weevils were killed in the lower part of South Carolina last week: some were step *ped on the peckerwoods got a few, several were killed by eating Calcium Arsenate with their dessert, and then quite a number died of old age, hav ing been born in June. So far u.s the public knows, the government acteage estimate was absolutely cornet except in some sections half a< ii - were counted as acres, and hav fields as new grounds. Tha fanners can stand anything now, so just let the government rave right Oil. We do, however, advise 'holding until you find out what the new models will sell ut, and the terms, and what have you. TO MAKE A WRECK There are automdbile wrecks caused by defective machinery and defective roads, but nine times out of ten the fact of a wreck proves the existence of a fool. And when two cars wreck it is a safe bet 99 times in a hundred that one of the drivers, or both, violated some traffic rule or some rule of common sense. Almost every driver thinks he is a good one, and yet not one driver in 10 has wit enough or is prudent enough to deserve the use of ptiblic highways. If the other nine escape having wrecks it is because of tjhe mercy of God. You may drive at u rate of 00 miles an hour and yet be a safe driver. Hut you aren't a safe driver if you pass slower cars at a curve. You are riot a good driver if you pass other' cars ut the crest of the hill where you cannot see the highway ahead And you aren't a safe driver if you take chances. In short, the only driver who should he trusted on the highway is the on< who keeps his car under absolut control at all times, whether making 10 miles an hour or 00; who nevet. t any speed, gets so close to the car in front of him that he could no*, avoid a collision if it should stop without warning; who never anproaches a crossing without being certain that the way is clear; who never, in short, gets into a position or condition where he could not avoid a wreck if he should meet an idiot. It is not enough merely to drive safely. It is not enough to be safe on condition that other drivers ..obey the rules. The good driver must assume that he may at any time meet a poor driver, a fool or u drunk man, and must be in position to save himself, regardless of the other driver's folly. The first ginning report of the year issued Wednesday, reports 87,888 bales of cotton ginned prior to August 1st. as compared with ginnings of 162,28.'! hales to the same date of last year, and 47,770 bales to he same date of 1926. Attorneys for Mrs. John Marshall, convicted of killing her husband on a deathibed statement made by the dying husband, is appealing to the Alabama supreme court for a new trial on the ground that Marshall was an atheist and that his death-bed statement is not worthy of credence.
