Her regardless,. There are.about
88 million Catholics the United
States, so all .Smith will need will
be a few western states where religion
don't count, either way.
t ii.'t
The south is afraid of Smith. They
don't think he caff turn the country
Upside down, but they fear thnt he
might turn out to be the entering
wedge. Raskob is not a democrat
at heart. He's a Smith-ite, and so is
DuPont.
A Hoover Democrat is not neces

sarily a Republican, mfie is only a
Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian
who doesn't like a Catholic any too
much, wet or dry. Most platforms
are built on popularity-stilts, and no
planks are used to any great .extent
that might smother a vote, A good
politician endeavors to find out what
most of the voters want, and then
builds his platform accordingly, and
what he does after he's elected matters
not.
Farm relief is a very long, thick,
heavy, knotty plank that both Hoover
and Smith have in their platforms.
Nobody yet believes that either can^
didate will evet lose* any sleep over
the plight of <the farmer, therefore
?the farm-relief-plank should not be
considered seriously by the masses.
<?And what if something could' be
done for the farmer? Why, the city
dweller wants low farm prices and
the city dweller is many multitudes
by himself, and he's not interested in
either Hoover 6#1 Smith on that account.
And, furthermore?the west
wants highpriced corn, and the south
craves high-priced, cotton, and the east
prays for expensive spuds, and there
you are, but neither section wishes
to see the other section get what It,
desires.

SLAYER WILL BE FOUND
Psychic At Spartanburg Makes Pre*
diction For Mrs. Willis
Answering a question asked by
Mrs. Ethel Cray. Willis, widow of
Sheriff Sam K. Willis, of Greenville
county, who was murdered in his
garage in June of last year, a psychic
predicts .that his slayer will be found
after the .first of the year.
The SpSrfanl^Kg Journal reposjts
the prediction afeVlCollows:
, The slayer of Sam K. Willis, form; <
er sheriff of Greenville county shop
down in the dodfc of his garage during
the summer of last year, will be
brought to justice and that rather
soon.
At least so said Gene Dennis, "the
girl who knows," in the final performance
last night at the Montgomery
Theater, .
Her questioner was Mrs. Willis.
Coming over wiph a party from
Greenville, the widow of the late
sheriff propounded similar questions
it was said to those asked at a mati
nee in Greenville when Gene Dennis
was an attraction.
"Who^illed my husband?" was followed
with other questions, some by
Mrs. Willis, some by Miss DenniB as
the story developed. .
The killer was a stocky man, Miss
Dennis claimed, with dark hair and
was about five feet ten inchea ins
height. He wore a cartridge belt.
At the time of the shooting there j
Were three men at the garage?I see
Step," the'pychTc asserted," and it
appeared that the man was hiding be- '
hind , the steps. Another man was expected
to do the shooting, but Sheriff
Willis turned, and the stocky man
had fired, saying "I've got you, Jim,"
In the first name of the sheriff Miss
Dennis was mistaken*
Mrs. Willis was not connected with
the affair, the psychic declared, and
that after the first of the year the
mystery would he turned , up. The
shooting was rather for political rear
sons thirtr personal, she' explained.
The psychic recounted experiences prior
to the shooting, to * several of
which Mrs. Willis gave corroboration.
Wind Storm Insurance I
THE DAMAGE IS DONE I
The windstorm has done its damage and now we I
are hearing the old questions about tornudo insurance; ,
asking wihat it is, what it can do and how much it costs, j
The time to find out is NOW?before the next j
storm. Hcmember that a policy carried year after, I
year is an investment in security. When allowed to
lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different j
than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the pro- j
tection sure.
Call today?let this agency prove the value of its I
service. I
