I Is Your Surplus Working? ^ II _ - ' ? iPr Every surplus dollar not actually hidden avyfiy to earning money for somebody. Ask yourself seriously ^ now, "Have I any surplus money working for me?" ' ? W; Loan & Savings Bank CAPITAL $100,000.00 Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1928, The Art of Making Enemies It is mighty easy to make a .person mad at you. 1 find it especially easy to cause the venom to come forth. This is due to the fact that I talk , too much and say too little, and am thus frequently and rightfully put in the "Smart Aleck" class, j Now just last week, L met Mrs. Pinkie Hightower and asked her how her pigs were and she said all right. I thank you, how are you? And then I sarkec) how her cow and calf were doing since the election, and she assured me that they were "Hoovering" around as usual, and then I asked her how+the rest of the family were getting along, and she turned up her nose and ain't spoke to me since. I never mean any harm when I ask fool questions, but a man 'Vho had a black eye came into my office a short while ago and I carelessly said? rolling ,pin or skillet, and he told me to go to thunder and 'tend tof own business. I found out the next day it was a smoothing iron. Another bright squirt I pulled off recently when I met a man going up ! the street with a new Axe on his ' shoulder was: "Weli, I see you've bought your wife a mighty nice axe" and he said: "My wife dipd last week and I hafter cut my own wood now," but he's never spoken to me to this day. Mrs. Simanthy Simkins rolled up to our house one day last week in a brand new Ford, and I asked her what the "down" payment on it was, and she told me that she wanted me to politely understand that the "down", payment was $604,131, and before I could say another word, she lit in that Ford and the last time I saw her, she was making 65 miles per hour, and we have been wondering ever since what die came to our house for that beautiful afternoon. I got in trouble about my wife's kinfolks not long ago. A ear drove up and stopped under our "poliker-sheer" and old folks and young folks and middle-aged folks and -babies began to "ooze" out at both sides, and when the tenth one finally made his exit, and before I could collect my normalcy. I kissed Aunt Jamimy', and remarked: "Why, it's such a pity you didn't leave nobody at home to slop the hogs." Aunt Jamimy ate my rations for a . few days, but didn't pay any more attention to me during that visit than a deadbeat pays to a fifteenth dun. D-e-f-i-n-i-t-i-o-n-a Laziness?A feeling of imaginary tiredness which causes a heaviness in the regions of the scat of the britches and brings about an inclination to sit down and stay set, being a common malady among young boys, old men, most women, and all servants. It is prevalent only in the equatorial, temperate, and torrid zont.1 of the world, but is possibly unknown in heaven. v> I Ignorance ? Lack <>f knowledge i of facts or conditions, such as the existence of a truly democratic farty, 'or honesty within the ranks of the I republican party, or how not to eat i peas and scrambltxi eggs with a knife, or who killed cock robin, or why dresses are worn so short, or how a prohibition enforcement officer saves 801) dollars per mouth fr}>m a salary of 200 dollars per month, ansoforth.

Flapper?The female speshees of the human race which has no desire to be useful, worth-while, or religious, and wears as near nothing as posible, exposes her knees with alacrity, enjoys drug stores, joy rides hugging, nocking, chocolate sundeaa sleeping late, thin lingerie (if any at all), night life, and hankers for th< companionship of men, *and chewi gum for fun, smokes for past-time and cusses without fear or hesita tlon.

South Carolina's oldest prisoner in point of service, lives in fear that the law may force him to leave the .penitentiary which has been his home 43 years. The negro was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1886, for burgihW and larceny. In 1924, Gov. Thomas G.-McLeod paroled him but hardly three months passed before the negro returned to the prison and begged to be re-admitted. He is partly paralyzed and is almost deaf. The only time he leaves ] his cell block except for meals is a j daily trip to the canteen for cigar- i ettes. He knows only one of his fellow prisoners by name, his deafness having made it difficult for him to learn others and the men he knew in former years are either dead or have left prison. A1 Smith Club "Just Started" Washington, Dec. l.-VThe A1 Smith democratic club of Washington like John Paul Jones has "just begun to fight." The group has passed a resolution to "maintain its origin as an active, energetic body to foster and apimate a nation-wide movement to bring about the nomination and election of Alfred E. Smith, in 1982." A preamble to the resolution extols the defeated democratic standard bearer and denounces the activities of the klan and Anti-Saloon league. No mention is made of the New York governor's announcement that he never again expected to run for public office. Eel in Engine Tender Great Falls, Nov. 29,-rNotwithstanding he had sat in the cab for 41 years, W. F. Clary, Seaboard Air Line e'figinecr "on tlie run from here to Catawba Junction, experienced something today far beyond his understanding. While letting all the water out of the tender on his engine at the Fort Lawn water tank to stop a leak, he found an eel in the tender 21 inches long. All the water that goes into the tender has to pass through two i valves, making it practically impossible for any object to pass through. McClary's only solution is that the eel passed through these valves while very small and doubtless had lived in this tender for two or three years. GENERAL NEWS NOTES I Mrs. Florence. Maybrick, tried in London 40 years ago, on a charge of i murdering her husband by arsenic poisoning, convicted and sentenced to death, the sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and released after fifteen years, and now living in Florida, has been left a fortune of $750,000 by a British relative living in France.

Serge Yoronoff, famous specialist of Paris, declares that science will never be able to turn back age, and the idea that an aged man can be turned into a physically energetic youth, must be considered a literaryfancy.

Smith issued no pardons to inmates in Sing Sing on Thursday, as has been the custom of the governor for many years past. The state of Texas is soon to be efijarged by 25,000 acres of land by a' decree of the United States supreme court, because the court has found that the true boundary of the state lies in territory that has been claimed by Oklahoma since the boundary of that state was first laid off.

Richland County Hunter Killed Colombia, Nov. 29.?Thanksgiving Day, the opening of South Carolina'3 quail hunting season, saw the first holiday fatality in Richland county when Henry Dority, 35, Eastover farmer, was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of his cousin, Thermond Aaron, of Columbia. - .. ? .' The two men, in company with several others of a hunting party which left here this morning* were walking along a road near the Wateree river about five miles north of Eastover about 9 o'clock, according to Magistrate J. Chalk, who investigated the case for Coroner J. B. Scott. Aaron was walking- behind Dority and as he stepped in the road he laid his gun down. The weapon, being accidentally discharged, sent its load of shot into the body of the unfortunate man. Magistrate Chalk described the fatality as "purely accidental" and said no inquest was necessary.
