Some More Whoopee
A man out in Miunegota has invented
u little jigger that you fasten
on your carburetter which he
guaranteeis will save 80 per cent of
your gax. It functions in thin manner:
First, aee th&t the jigger is
properly attached. Second, pottr 10
gallons good gas into your lizzie's
tank, Third, drive the old huzzy
around the house about 8 timet*.
Fourth, put her back in the garage,
and leave her there for 2 days, and
Presto! you'll be surprised to find
that you still have 8 gallons of gas.
And speaking of insects generally:
a bad wreck took place near our
house last night. The nut at the
steering wheel had evidently smelt a
shoe-polish stopper, and the strength
thereof went to his head, 4nd whilj
the stuff was hunting around in the
puddle of buttermilk for his brains,
his hands fell limp in his lap. And
then she phoned for the ambulance.
The instalment agent came up thfc
next morning and towed the car back
to the home for pentitents. It's ready
for another nut now,*
My grocer says-from Ihe numbe *
of cars he is furnishing gas for folks
would think he ran a Salvation
Army tilling station. 1 naked him
once how he reckoned that so many
people could ride around in nice automobiles,
and he aaid come and jook.at
my hooka and you'll atop asking such
fool questions. Evidently it is uo
mystery to him how a guy "can spin
around" when his groceries dqn't
cost him anything?not even mental
anguish.
A new model automobile is as enticing
as a 16 year old flapper. And,
from what 1 heard at the picture
show the other night, just lots of
people think heaven is a place where
automobiles will be given to all en
trants, and gas will Jt>e furnished and
no questions asked, and the roads
will ho paved with isinglass, and sleep
will not he n necessity, and the angels
can just ride and ride and ride. Well,
mcbe an automobile is as near heaven
us some folks will ever get.
Hut an automobile is an absolute
r^cessity now-a-days. Just the other
day, Uwde Joe got ready for one
of the boys to do some plowing, and
he found out that he didn't have no
heel bolt, so he hop{>ed in the car and
drove to town and got one, and then
he discovered that his plow line was
| missing, ho he hopped back in the car
and drove to town and got a new one,
and on his return, he was shocked
when Sammie told him that he vya*
minus a plow point for his middle
buster, and Uncle Joe hustled back
to town in his "glory be," and by
reason of the fact that Uncle Joe
had a car, Sammie got everything
ready in time to plow a little the next
day.
President-elect Hoover's good-will
trip to South America amounted to
about 45 thousand dollars.
Snow was so deep up in the mountains
of western North Carolina the
other day the bootleggers had to
stand on the fence to tie their shoes
and fill their fruit jars.

Did you ever notice the difference
in a man's personality when he's buy[
ing a bill from you on credit and
when you are trying to collect for it?
He's sweet as a pie when he totes
your' goods off, but he's meanashell
when you ask him for your money.
Everybody that seems so deeply
interested in farm relief appear to
be working on the wrong end of
the farmer. They are trying to re-'
move his tonsils when he's suffering
with fallen arches. The farmer
would much prefer to have the government
help him grow a crop rather
than its services in aiding him to sell
the same.
I have the most wonderful hen
extant. She has gone 355 days, 2d
hours, 75 minutes, and 215 seconds
without laying a single egg. I have
had her sex carefully determined, and
know l>eyond a shadow of a doubt
that she ain't no rooster, but for laying
purposes, slj^/night as well be a
crower. Oh, yes, I have fed her all
kinds of guaranteed laying mashes.

FOR PNEUMONIA
Here is a Remedy Said tq Be Almost
j a Sure Cure
/ 1 V J
The following recipe which has been
sent to The Reporter from Timmoneville
is said to be an unfailing cure
fur. pneumonia:
f One quart red onion*, one quar;
l vinegar, one quart corn meal.
I Cut, or break up the onion* in u
I pot with the vinegar, place on the
fire; when heated almost to boiling,
| atir hi the corn meal. This will
make two poultices. Have ready two
bags made of this- material, large
enough to cover the region .of the
lungs. I'lace one poultice over the
regioi. of the lung affected, hot?but
not tf>o hot. Let it remain 20
minute*. remove and cover the chest
with a warmed blanket or flannel.
(If the flannel is covered with Vicks
| or Cowans pneumonia cure, so much
! the better, hut this ia not necessary.)
Jn If) or 20 minutes remove the
flannel ami apply the second poultice.
Let it remain 10 minutes, and then
follow with the flannel as before.
By this time the patient will have
experienced great relief. Poultices
should he kept warm when not in
use. The application of the poultice
may be repeated if needed. In double
pneumonia the poultice may be applied
to the back of the lung, as well.
With reasonable care the patient will
speedily recover.?Chester Reporter.

G. Richards and nine Berkeley coun
ty magistrates took the witness stan I
today, as Senator K. J. Dennis of
Berkeley -county" and six co-defendants
went on trial for conspiracy
to violate the national prohibition act.
The governor, a prosecution witness,
testified that on Senator Dennis'
recommendation he had appointed
S. N. Rourk, J. D. Myers and Raybourn
Anderson as state constables.
He declared he had received no complaint
on the men's conduct in office.
On cross-examination, he declared

Anderson appointed as constables in
furtherance of a liquor ring. John

jury in his opening address that he
would seek to establish that the defendants

and manufacture intoxicating
liquor.

to Senate r Dennis, are Rourk,
Myers, Rayboui n. Anderson, James
Anderson, F. Jervey Villcponteaux
