Nobody l.ovt'H a Drunk Man I have been trying for tt months to figgcr out the everrpresent whig> key question. I can't for my lifo understand why we are so terribly concerned ubout whiskey. Men aai women ail over the country contend that their rights were taken away and their liberty was controverted when the Volstead Act became operative. Now let's see. Why all this fuss about w whiskey ? Why should it be sold either by the government or any individual? It is true that whiskey might serve a useful purpose on certain occasions, but did you know that only 783 people were bitten by snakes between 19 and 20 and 19 and 27 in these whole United States? Well, that's so. Only 783 good drinks were actually needed for snake-bite purposes, according to these snuke statistics. Vet, there's something seductive about whiskey. It looks good sitting around on side-boards and dressers in pretty cut-glass bottles, but wherein lies its merit? My church would turn me out if I were to get dr unk and try to run things downthere, and the man I'm working for would turn me off if I were to try to hang around his place of business 2 or 3 sheets in the wind. And a railroad company won't let a man who drinks whiskey run one of its locomotives, and it wouldn't think of employing a booze-fighter to take up tickets and read und obey train orders. A wife doesn't want a husband that drinks whiskey, but frequently good women have to live w ith such husbands. A policeman loses his job sooner or later if he hits the fruit jar too heavy. (Whiskey burns out a man's innards at the rate of 2 inches a month). And a hotel keeper hates to see a drunk man or woman in his hostlory. Why, if you wanted a man to I cut your hedge, you'd look for a j sober- man. We even shun drunken , tiamps. Nobody cares to do business where whiskey is drunk, nor does a woman want a clerk to wait on her iT she smells shoe polish on his breath. I don t think 1 ever saw a daddy th.it wanted his^ boy to drink whiskey. and whiskey has broken more mothers' hearts than all other things combined. Most of the men who die 1n poor houses have been drunkards. Had Women start oft bad by taking n few drinks, and 99 per cent of the patrons of chaingangs are booze artist, so?please somebody, tell me why all this to-do about whiskey. It seems to be about the only thing on the face of the earth that we can do absolutely without to advuntage. Patience and Sobriety A man or a woman who can and does keep his or her temper when much static invades a good radio progtam, that man or that woman is indeed a severely pious individual. Static is the most serious modern affliction, ranking ahead' of the flu, itch, gout, and possil^j the boycott in society circles. Pmlge, Brother, Dodge Most of our wrecks nowadays are caused by snail brains (which think at the rate of 10 mile8 an hour) handling an antelope car (which bal's the jack at 75 miles an hour). Fools and idiots and boneheads and sap-! heads ought never to bo allowed to1 got out of the pedestrian class soV when they must get killed, only theyJ themselves will have to suffer. Attempted Murder I was at n function a few nights ago and suddenly somebody that didn't know me very well stood up and introduced me to the crowd and told them I was going to make a speech. 1 never had such a feeling in my life. I can't make a speech, and would not undertake it unless I knew an ambulance was at the door, My mouth got so dry I couldn't even spit, and I couldn't move a muscle in my legs to save my soul, and m.v stummick got right weak, and some kind of sensation began to ohocke me My plight was pitiful. I don't remember anything else. When I came to I was at home in bed with ? mustard plaster on my head and an onion plaster on?jny chest and my feet wer<rb*tng soaked In Alum water. That was the closest call I ever had except the time the water moccasin bit me in the pasture. Keeping up Appearances One of Uncle Jot's daughters got married last year aiid he gavo her bfooir^ ltaik though lying in that silver cracker tray amongst the other presents* He got credit for being a mighty liberal daddy. 1 never did _ under * stand why the bank wouldn't- pay the check. It was a pretty check and wa? made out on a check protector, and it looks likf banks ought to pay such attractive checks ae Uncle JoeS wan. J 'T hooking Ahead This is November, but I saw a lady with her new (19 and 29) spring hat and dress on yesterday. Negt summer styles won't be worn till along about Januarj^l. And, when real hot weather gets here, watch out for the new style furs that will be on the market. The furriers have recently learned how to make grey fox neck-pieces out of rabbit furs, and genuine beaver can be had from a pole-cat or a common house cat. Way back yonder when I wafc a boy, a woman did well to keep up with the styles, and now they simply ain't nothing unless they are 0 months ahead of 'em. Three .Sisters Married An unusual marriage ceremony, or rather, ceremonies, took place at the office of the probate judge, Sunday afternoon, when'-Miss Alma Givens, united in marriage three sisters to three young men who themselves affe first cousins, two of them being double first cousins. The young ladies were daughters of "Doc" Jones, of Ye masse, and were the only daughters he had. Miss Ruby Jones, the eldest was married to Willie Crosby, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Crosby; Miss Irene Jones, second daughter to Lloyd Robertson, son of Mr. qmd Mrs. J. L. Robertson;'and Miss Thelma Jones, the youngest, to Fonnie Beach son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Beach. These young men are reported to have gone to call on these youn& ladies Sunday afternoon, and they were taken for a ride, the ride ending at the office of the probate judge where at 6 o'clock Sunday afternoo.i they secured licenses and were united j in marriage. They are making their! homes at and near Walterboro.? i Walterboro Press and Standard. 1 Meat of wild horses, slaughtered in the West, is juit on sale at Port land, Ore., and other cities, though most of the supply is still shipped to ; Europe.

VI.?'Weathering of baled cotton unprotected on the ground without any covering whatever coata the farmers of South Carolina a large sum each year, say* T. S. Buie, chief, agronomist. "It ia hard to understand why a farmer will J work for several montha to produce? ,i ?r<fp of cotton and then when it is ready for market leave it lying aiound the yard exposed to the damping effect of the rain. Often when a higher price ia secured by reason ?>f holding cotton for a few months the loss in grade as a result of weath* ring is enough to offset this gain. "Every bale of cotton that is to be kept for even a few days should be stored under a shelter or otherwise protected to the best of the farmer's ability," i.a the agronomist's advice. "If no other facilities are available every bale can and should be placed on edge A^ith poles or timbers underneath so as to leave yoom for under circulation. And it should at least be covered with boards, tin or canvas to afford partial protection from the elements," says Prof Buie.
