Nobody's Business

McGee, Copyright, 1928.
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

Unprotected Bales
Cost Much Yearly
" Clemaon College, Nov. 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.
