VAaJI ^W^^3|CB^3cL t- .?<a Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1938. 5 V Signs of the Times When you see * men going down the street with his eyes glued to the pavement and his lips twitching as if he would say something and his britches badly bagged at the knees und he growls at the men and scowls at the .women he meets and is red behind the ears and blue under his (eyes, you can just put it down that tin installment agent is on his trail and tomorrow is the last day between a slow walk and a fast ride next Sabbath. When you see a woman go $pto a store and begin to inquire about 14dollar shoes and 98-dollar dresses and 15-dollar lingerie, and have the clerks tuke down nearly all of the nice stuff in the store and spread it before her eyes so. that she may peradventure select something to her liking, you can just enter it in your fool book that that old gal ain't got 25 cents to her name and ain't going tp buy anything from you or anybody else for several weeks. When a customer gets overly chummy with his grocer and drops behind a month or two with his account and stops asking the price of a ham that he takes home with him and lets his younguns buy anything they might want and have it charged to him and begins to cuss Wall street and the speculator you mi^ht as well get ready to kiss that guy's account good-bye and send to the post office and purchase some stamps so's you can mail his duns to him in another town, 'cause he's getting ready to move. When Deacon Jones starts to raking out the preacher and criticizes certain members of his family and insists that he had heard all of them old sermons before and tells the world that "our church needs a younger man with more of the "sperit in his soul," you can just bet your bottom dollar that somebody has asked tfl? said Deacon Jones to come across with the 4 dollars he sub-1 scribed to the running of the church, or else the preacher has ketehed him a sheet or two in the wind, or hanging around some place that should not be hangable for pious folk, and thereafter the old jpPbuch proves himself unfit for all purposes except raising the devil in the congregation. When you see a little sap-head "hitting 'em down the highway at 76 miles per in his daddy's mortgaged junk pile with a thoroughly Ducoed flapper (who doesn't know the difference between a frying pan and a kettle) leaning heavily on his right shoulder and his hair plastered to his vacant brain bin and a smi^e anchored on his face that won't rub off, you mjght as well stop and wonder what this world is coming to if that trio represents the ancestry of the future generation. Oh, where in the dickens is my shot-gun nohow ? I Am Cured Heigh, Ho, Hum._ I am so tired and worn-out I don't know what to do. I don't believe I will ever be able to work again. I just returned from "my vacation last night. I went to the mountains to rest and recuperate, and if there was any rest or recuperation up there, I never came in contact with them. Wednesday?I left *tome feeling sluggish but hopeful. My doctor told me that I needed a rest. He said that I had stuck too close to business for the past 2 years. He intimated that my blood pressure was showing some strength and assured me that my tongue was coated and insisted I was bordering onto halitosis. . I took his word for all and singular. We packed up everything we had except the piano and got in our installment plan, and. lit out. Thursday?We arrived at "Stop-awhile cottage near Hog-Back. 01 had patched 4 inner tubes and bolstered up 1 blowout enroute to our rendezvous. I was too weak to help unload our household goods, so gave a colored boy 80 cents to assist us a few hours. \ room on the third floor was reserved for us. The stairs we climbed were so crooked We had to tote our stuff oil our stummicks to get up. The room had a western exposure and a southern bureau and an eastern wash-stand and * northern bow! and pitcher (empty)? and the bathroom wss in this bask yard.

(If. was running true to form: I always get out of gas 2 to 6 miles from a filling station). My folks made me climb little Pig Back. When we got "hoiric11 that afternoon, I had the rheumatism and the sciatica and creeping paralysis. I was helped to my room and they brought my salmon balls ami rice up to mo. ?? Saturday?I got terribly nauseated about 6:30 a.m., when those salmon balls began to send their odor up our way. I felt homesick. My head and legs and spinal collum were aching. 1 was growing dissatisfied with my vacation. (Yes, they call 'em vacations). I had spend 13 dollars a day since I left my own bed and board. After saying our prayers, in which we expressed satisfaction with home and hard work* and asked the Lord to forgive us for leaving, we retired. Sabbath?We don't usually ride on the Sabbath except in cases of emergency and this. JKAftJk We got to our home in time for church, but we were too dilapidated to negotiate the 2 blocks. Qh, my poor legs! Ouch, get a pillew for my back. Younguns, atop that fuaal Doctor, how's my poise and will I get over this vacation f And doctor, when will I be strong enough to go to the office? ^* _ i a nan ftaalrt _ . lA^ae wlaaee My poor Tifcni \./mi tmiy, pifMc phone the preacher to ewn lij on " his way from services.

Man la ('n*?fe In Own Home A man is not ?afe even in hia own borne, according to the observations of L. P. Gregory, vice-preaident in charge of the accident and health department of a large insurance company In Pittsburgh, Pa. To support hia statement he calls attention to some of the peculiar accidents for which indemnity has been paid. Among them are the following: "Crawled under a bed, and needle lying on the floor ran into breastbone." "Undressing for bed. In removing union suit fractured second finger on left hand." "Ran against wife?hair curler struck eye." "Yawning?dislocated jaw," "Washing hands?shook water off hands and dislocated fiftger." > "While reciting made gesture?fell and sprained hip." "Walking along street?straw hat struck me in the eye." "At office shaking hnnds with a friend?sprained thumb." "Right eye damaged by feather in hat of lady riding beside me in auto." "On private yacht. Had highball and just stood up when boat gave a lurch. Sat down on glass." "Taking orders?horse walked across street to my horse. I took hold of the bridle to pull him away. He dropped dead and teeth struck foot, fracturing toes." "Hands cut by fish line. I was fishing for bnss and accidentally caught a shark." "I was assaulted and my nose broken by a drunken person who evidently thought I was some one else." And finaly there is the strange case of a man who, two weeks after being compensated for a finger lost in a buzz saw, reported he had lost another finger while showing a friend bow the first accident happened. Texas' Penitentiary Population More than half the prisoners in Texas penal institutions are married. Few of the prisoners are illiterate. Few are divorced, and few admit intemperance in the use of intoxicating liquors. Most of the prisoners, use tobacco." Of the 4,561 now in Texas penitentiaries, 262 are serving third terms. The average age of Texas convicts is between 20 and 25 years. Only 59 are more than 60 years old. While native Texans are far in the lead numerically, nearly all the states of the union and nearly all foreign coi^ntries are represented. The prisoners are about equally divided between the white and colored races. More than 50 per cent express a church preference, the Baptist and Catholic churches leading. There are only three Jews. In the matter of occupation, cooks, waiters, farmers and day laborers lead. All trades and professions arc represented. There are behind . Texas prison walls six men who were formerly pastors of churches. Burglary sends the greatest number of persons to the penitentiary, while murder and violation of the prohibition laws rank next. Bigamy is responsible for 21 Texas prisoners, embezzlement for 27, forgery and passing forged instruments 516. Colone-l Charles Lindbergh at a Detroit automobile factory, last Friday drove a Packard car at a speed of 112 miles per hour. The Canning Factory Froblem. Following in the wake of the enthusiasm aroused over the atate there is a crying need for canning factories to j enable South Carolina to realize upon the recent important discovery of the iodine content of our foodstuff*, and what this means in the prevention and cure of goiter in the goitrous regions of the country. This need will he met. There is a danger in its meeting which it will he well to bear in mind. There is bound to come along irresponsible promoters who will wish to "put over" an organization in many of the counties, and there is a | chance for the fleecing of many investors in these canning plants. Already it is understood that some of these have begun to operate, and that there j will likely be efforts mnde in the Immediate future to put-in plants hero and there wherever sufficient local capital can be secured to make possible the construction of a plant. The Press and Standard would sound here a note of warning. Let ! there be a thorough investigation of j these promoters and their scheme before it is offered to the public., The matter of erecting these canning factories is engaging the thought and investigation of the South Carolina j Natural Resources Commission and , plans are in the making for the orr ganization of plants where they arc (needed. It is better to have these organized if possible under a central management, and thus by one control to secure the putting out of a standard and uniform product. Volume selljing and volume buying are also essential and this can be secured either by one syndicate putting up the chain , of plants or by having in them a cooperative feature whioh will insure uniform planting and uniform packing of the products. The label of the state must not be used on inferior products, and whenever this label is seen it should be convincing proof that the product is as good as can be had. California has done this and the great demand for California products even in South Carolina is proof of the statement. This is true when we now know that there is no Iodine in California foodstuffs. We would like to see numerous canning plants, and it will take these to supply not only the local demand for our foods, but every one of them should have no trouble in selling to the markets of the goitrous regions of the United States their full output. Boll weevil cotton can be supplanted by iodized truck and food crops in a very large manner. But it must be done decently and in order. Our people can do it, and if there is profit let it I '.,1- i i?ggrr-*-- . .. w-i-_i i be kept at home. So, beware of the promoter who c4res not for the etate or its success in placing these healthful foods on the markets.?Walterboro Press and Standard.
