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.
Society?'The so-called upper strata
of humanity, consisting of nice folks,
bad folks, rich folks, semi-rich folks,
formerly rich folks, dead-beats,
drunkards, card sharps, bootleggers,
modest women, immodest women,
shysters, literary parasites, hasbeeris,
wanter-bees, and several
others.- It is confined mostly to largo
cities, but can be created in any community
seeking high places.
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. Specimen"types are in afinoa
all towns, cities, and communities, ant
can be recognized by the comp^n^
she keeps.
Cake-Eaters?The male spethee
of the human race which seeketh n<
work, dislikes a word of correction
practices lounge-lixarding nightl:
smokes, chews, drinks, and slpat
the bull when not engaged In slumhet
is fond of getting something fo
nothing, swaps his word for a dtapi
spends his daddies money, party
hair in the middle, respects not hi
mother, and represents the nelfte
side manhood in all things
men* and it no more than a warvn
the posterior of civilisation. Thl
form of " quirt" is here, there, t?
yonder, and It never dies young.

Wind Storm Insurance
THE DAMAGE IS DONE
The windstorm has done its damage and now we
are hearing the old questions about tornado insurance;
asking what it is, what it can do and how much it costs.
The time to And out ia NOW?before the next
storm. Remember that a policy carried year after
year is an investment in security. When allowed to ?
lapse and renewed "now and then" it is little different
than gambling. The rates are reasonable; the protection
sure.

"N Would Prefer Prison Life
Columbia, Nov. 27.-Henry
Scrivens, Charleston negro,. 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. Mrs. Maybrick declares
she will use the fortune in clearing
her name of the charge on which she
was convicted.
L)r. 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.
Mrs. Mary Crowley, aged 102 years,
died Thursday at her home at Franklin,
N. J.
Governor Alfred E. Smith issued
no pardons to inmates in Sing Sing
on Thursday, as has been the custom
of the governor for many years past.

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.
While France ordinarily looks askance
at the execution of a woman, a
strong sentiment is growing that the
president should refrain from exercising
clemency, especially in cases
where the women wantonly murdered
