Something New
flat rock, it. june IK, I'J.'iO.
deer mr. editor:
i have recently invented a comby
nation walking stick and hack
scratch- and it will be reddy to be
put on the market within 2 months
and i am On the look out for good
representatives to handle county
rights and prefer exploiticians as
they no how to miss represent everything
so well.
this peace of machinerry consists
of a .'1 foot walking stick made.out
of a cane and a set of springs in
same which make the article almost
automatic, as pickniok and chigger
time is nearly on us, my patent ought
to sell like ice cream combs at a
circus, (but if judge parkor had of
benn a yankee republican, he would
of benn elected on the first ballot.)
this untensill will work as followers:
if something commences to bite
you while in transit, stop right in
yore tracks and pfes# the nob on
the end of yore walking stick and a
little scraping prong will poke out
on the side of the -wed stick near the
other end and you can scratch where
you plese and then you mash the
other little nob, ami it will skeet
mercury crome on the place where
you scratched, (there ain't no telling
how much monncy bishop cannon didi
spend a fighting al. smith.)
this stick is good for pi/en oak
a- the seratcher can he reversed and
then it becomes A^uiop with medison
on it that i^ good for the afore sed
piy.cn, and allso i cleaves the each as
far a- possible with out hurting the
walking stick. it comes in f> -r/.es,
vizy.ly: clO for t ht? farmer moddel.
li$ (or the doctor, .">$ for loafers, 7$
for installmnet collectors, and 10$ for
congressmen and other public necessities.
(muscle shoals will never be
worth nothing if it keeps annybody
from voting for him.)
^
the colors of these instruments
varies from red to pink with a tetch
of lavender for old maids who work
in the garden and get bit ever now
and then, the stick can be loaded
with medison by most anny woman,
as it is-fool proof, and it will carry
enuff mercury crome to last the average
flapper .'1 yr. it can be used
by 1 person to scratch another person,
therefoar, 1 stick is genrally
suff fishent for a large family unless
they have plenty of monncy and then
they should carry spares. (mr.
hoover is still looking for better
times).
mr. editor, if you happen to see
annybody nut of a job, plese tell
them to rite or foam me and i will
sell them a whole state for 1 ">$ cash,
it don't require mutch intelligence to
handle same, therefoar you can re-,
commend the average college grailurate
with out running anny risk,
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd.

Forty years ago, our parents were |
interested only in making a living on <
the farm, but today their offspring /
are concerned only in growing something
that they can sell so's they can
get some money to buy a license tag '
for their lizzie and some gas and oil
to run it with. Instead of,laying up ;
a few dollars for a rainy day. they i
rustle up a couple of hens and a
rooster and invest thejn in a pair of
mud chjfijtts.
? i
I was raised on the farm and am
glad of it. \\ hen 1 was a boy .'55
years ago, the rattle of a few dimes
[ w?s enough to create a panic at any
"pound party" that I ever attended.
But things are so different now. i
Blouses and knickers have taken the 1
place of the shirttail, BVD'S have
taken the place of nothing, the rayon
house dress has forced the motherhubbard
into oblivion, the silk hose ;
are occupying the positions that cot- '
ton stockings once boasted of, and
soap serves where sand used to reign '
supreme. |

? (
It must bo mighty fine to be a 1
youngster now. A kid appreciated a 1
"thumb paper" more in 18 and 94
than a child of today appreciates a
painting by Whistler. The youngun '
that used broom straws and pine j
needles for toys back yonder has to
| buy fire-trucks and golf clubs for his
; little lambs. The greatest thing that
j 1 ever possessed was a lead iM>ncil
i (that possibly cost a penny) that my
uncle gave me. and after I got it. I j
j didn't have any paper to scribble on,
I but over\ plank in our house had
; something "wrote" on it.
A p.; ? -late and f> slate pencils cost
o cent.- about 30 or 35 years ago.
Before germs were discovered all
school children licked their slates
clean when they wanted to erase n
sum or a sentence. I had the reputation
of being the fastest slate-licker
in our school. I remember once
that 1 licked both sides of my slate
plumb clean and licked one side of
Sallie Lou's slate bofdYe my nearest
competitor got one side of his TickeJfT"
Our favorite delicacy or tidbit was
a piece of orange ipeeling. When a
friend happened to the good luck of
finding a small piece of a peeling
from an orange and brought it to
school, he or she was the envy of
the entire mob. Occasionally some
of the most liberal children would
give each of the scholars a little
pinch about as big as a chigger, but
generally all she would do would let
, you smell her grange peeling through
her book satchoH-and boys, believe
1 me, them was daya.

Boston, June, 11 .-Forty-five or 46 1
?vex were aet tonight as the estimate'
,-d toll sacrificed to the three worst
aorrors of the sea?fog, collision and
fire ?in the .crash of the passenger
steamer Fairfax of the Merchants'
*nd Miners' line and an oil tanker,
relieved to be the Pinthis of the Shell
rompany fleet, off southeast buoy,
uituate, laat night. L
A revised list early tonight gave
hree known dead in the Fairfax pas<enger
list and nine missing. Fourteen
members of the Fairfix crew
were missing, and every man aboarjl
the tanker, I'J in all, was unaccounted
for and believed to have gone to'"his
death in a flaming sea.
The Fairfax, outbound for Baltimore
and Norfolk with 71 passengers,
and the Pinthis, crawling forward
from Fall River to Portland, Maine,
through one of the worst fogs that
ever blanketed the New Kngland
coast, came together with a force that
must have sent the steel prow of the
Fairfax knifing through the hull of
the Pi nth is, loaded with 12,000 barrels
of gasoline.
The fire and explosion started after
the crash. Gasoline, liberated by
the collision, apparently flowed into
the tanker's boiler room and was ignited.
The tanker exploded in one terrific
blast that hurled tons of blazing oil
ind wreckage into the air to settle in
a flaming rain on the deck.< of the
Fairfax, engulfing passengers and
crew alike. Panic-stricken, with
clothing afire, they screamed, and
tho-e who were able, raced or crawled
to -afety while others Tyho had been
below iu.-hed up to offer aid.
The whole port side of the Fairfax,
including life boats, rails, decks and
gear, was seared by the flames and
~et afire at many points. The wireless
antenna of the ship was burned
immediately, so that no message for
aid couIcTtx? serttr Later two marines
and John Popp, chief radio operator,
aboard, the U. S. S. Childs, scaled
the mast to repair the broken and
burned antenna, and the signals that
brought the rescue ships were sent.
Be be Daniels and Ben Lyon, popular
screen favorites, were married in
a Los Angeles, Cal., hotel Saturday
evening. The gifts to the bride were
very numerous and very expensive.
Aii audit of the Gaffney school
district for the past 10 years shows,
according to figures just made public,
j that the city of Gaffney ,is spending
about $1)0,000 per year for school purposes.
Gaffney has four grammar
schools, a high school and one negro
school.
Roach S. Stewfcrt, former
senator from Lancaster and formerly? ;

the time required from his law pric-11
