When You (jet Into I'olitica, They Say: "Well, I think Hill Smith is a pretty good fellow, but he orders all of his clothes and shoes from Spears & Jobuck, and he let an out-of-town man fix his dog house last summer." "1 mcnt to vote for Sam Hippg, but I just heard that his great grand* daddy was u Tory, and it will be a dangerous thing to put such n man into the office of treasurer." "I notice that I'cter iiillikep is out for May or. He has made a mistake. He shaves himself, and that means 4hat the barbers w;ll fight .him; he walks to work, and the street ear folks have it in doi him. , Ills wife's cousin rs a"*Catholic and that is enough for the Bafdists to fight him on. Nope, he can't make it." ".Jule Smoots is. pfotsibly qll-right to run a bank, but he is ? hkjh-hatter. And he drinks some ;it night, and 1 heard this morning that he refused to buy any War Savings stamps in JH and 17. The Methodists will seatch h i in because lie doesn't believe that .Jonah actually swallowed the whale, hooks like he would have more, sense than to run for congress, j "(iuess you heard that Mike Strong whipped his wife about 20 years ago while he was living out West? Well, they say fie did that thing. And furthermore he believes, in evolution: that kills him with the l'reshyterians, and his oldest son has jake paralysis, and he won't get a sirtgle prchihilionist vote. And he ain't fit for the legislature no how. He don't pay no taxes except the poll and the dog. He's already beat." " l thought old man Bulldozer was a fine man until he came out for the senate. He broke up-5?different bird's nests when fie was a boy, and he snores in his sleep, he eats with his front teeth, fie won't let his girls run around at night, and he owed the Last National bank a note for $11.00 when it busted. He won't get the vote of his kinfolks? as he endorsed and paid notes for nearly every one of them." So, friends, when you enter politics you invite the smut toters and the gossipper and the "they say" folks to riddle you and your family and your character and their religion from Adam to last night. They will talk about you and your clog and your debts and your everything else, ami the worst part of the whole thing is- part of it is oftentimes so. (Selah). Let Me See Your Census (ial'fhu'g is terribly hurt because : the census showed that her populaj turn decreased .Ml per cent during the l pa-t 10 years. That's rL'ht though: I remember when old man Smith died in the summer of 10 and 25. It ha- been pretty hard for a great many t.auis to show any gains with jake paralysis, birth control, parrott fever, bonis and Chevrolets having so much to do with life and death since the last count. Most places seem to be interested only in the quantity rather than the quality of their citizen shlfT" What will worry some of our towns j will not lx> so much the decrease in {population as the increase of jobless | men.

Villa Hites had a population of Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their 7 children in 10 and 20, hut in 10 and 20, according1 to the real estate advertisements, she had i 1,800 souls within her environment, ' hut the census man knocked on sev? eral hundred doors in that town the other day, and nary u guy did he have tiie pleasure of writing down. It ii fine for the government to tabulate us every now and then. But if Mr. Hoover had thought to ask i the census takers to find out what : the financial status of each individu 1 al was, these would he the answers ! Own your home? No, Own a car? Yes.

Wife Changes Mind And Lands In Jail Evanston, 111., May 22.?Wives who contemplate having their husbands arrested should know what happened to Mrs. James Morris and be guided accordingly. Mrs. Morris had her husband arrested yesterday. She charged nonsupport. Morris had hardly been ensconced in the bastile before Mrs. Morris appeared before Magistrate porter and announced she hail changed her mind. "After all," she said, "I guess James supports mo. Ho is really not a bad husband. In fact, he is quite a good husband. We'll just drop the action'and let him out of jail." The magistrate became stern. "All right. We'll let him out of jail. but. Madam, it is about time you wives called a halt to the practice of blaming your husbands every i time something goes wrong. You had him arrested. You humiliated ' and degraded him. Then you change your mind and say you were wrong." "Very well, you were wrong. Your hu-hand is hereby released. ! You take k.- place.

Detectives hav( not been able to discover the thief Fate Against Those In Trial of King The hand of f?te has not dealt lightly with participant* in the trial of Kafe K. King, who was convicted at Cheater la^t July of the murder of hu wife, Faye Wilson King, at " Sharon, York county, earlier in the year, the trial having taken place at Chester after Judge J. Henry Johnson decided that a change of venue from York county was necessary to insure King a fair trial. Circuit Judge J. K. Henry, who heard the case, has suffered a slight stroke of paralysis since the trial. J. A. Marion, of York, leading assistant to*,former Solicitor J. Lylea Glenn in preparing the case for the State and to Solicitor Harry Hines at the trial, died several months ago. Mrs. Margaret Gartman, who talked with King trie day after his wife was found dead in an outhouse at their home at Sharon and testified for the State at the trial, has died since the trial, it is stated. Dr. J. G. Hord, of Kings Mountain, i N\ C\, who performed the autopsy ' on the body of Mrs. King, died rc| cently. H. L. Johnson, whose name was t mentioned during the interrogation of j jurors as having been active in spreading propaganda agonist. King, suffered a stroke of paralysis at hid home in York county a few days ago. Sheriff Fred K. Quinn, of York j county, who investigated the death i of Mrs. King and assisted Solicitor : Glenn in obtaining information, has 1 been ill lately and only recently i*i turned to his home from a hospital in Charlotte, Deputy Sheriff Tom (^u;nn, who took care of King during ! hi-, .-tay in the York county jail, is ! ill m a Charlotte hospital. Meanwhile King is held in close confinement at the penitentiary in Columbia awaiting the decision of the supreme court as to whether he will be granted a new trial. If the decision of the court is adverse to him, J. his hope of escaping the electric chair is in the governor. King stoutly maintains his inno. eence. A few days ago it was suggested to him that the most damaging evidence the State presented against him was the finding of the alleged blood-besmeared suit of clothing that admittedly belonged to him at his home. He said the last time he saw the suit was six months be fore the death of his wife when he tried to trade it to a negro for a cabfc*-Fort Mill Times. j 1 Helped Build Linotype New York, May 24.?Thomas Miller, compositor and one of the men who advised Qttnrvar Mergenthaler in the construction of his first linotype machine, died today at his home ii\ Brooklyn.
