THE LITTLE DARLINGS When I was 20 years younger then I am now, 1 thought it Hounded sijly for a father and mother to cill one another mother and daddy, but now she's "mother" and I'm "daddy," and the children taught us the necessity of thus uddressing each other. Rearing a family is an interesting and pleasant task and a married couple without children know just about as much about real love, happiness, and the joy of living as a jaybird knows about the tariff, and you folks who don't believe what I say, why, juet try it out.

My old lady end J had to be away from home the other afternoon and left our child at the house with a neighbor's kid to play and what those younguns chose to play with is a gnat's whiskers. When I drove into our yard about (J p. m., 1 discovered that they had the piano stool out in the walk (bottom-upwards) and were using it for a sled. They had 3 slop jars and a few other private vessels in the front porch. The sjnk (lusher was on the green table and the cushions for the chairs were tied together and were being^jsed as a train which ran across the lawn. My hand-saw was on the gold-fish bowl and my typewriter was sitting on the bird-bath in the back yard, T -f They were usitjg the waffle irons for making uu#'waffles and the garden hose was squirting water through a crack in the window into the basement. Our extra electric light bulbs were stuck about the yard for traffic signals and the electric iron with cord attached was ? little dog they were leading around. Their toys (dolls, chrts, autos, wagons and so on) were untouched. They were having some real fun with everything imaginable except their own playthings?all of which goes to prove that there are no longer any children: they are grown-ups the day after they are weaned?from the bottle. ARE YOU BLUE? I thought I knew something about hard times" until I ran across an old friend on the streets today who succeeded in enlightening me. He told me that he was so hard up that he couldn't pay for standing room in front of her city hall if the entire city of Atalnta, Georgia, was offeredto him at 98 cents. He explained that he had been working in a curtailing cotton mill for 11 wpplfft and KaA been nhle tO "put in exactly 5 hours and 30 minutes." He swore that it took 45 cents more than his entire earnings during that time to keep patches on the sent of his britches. He anticipated heing able to work 25 minutes next, week and possibly 1 hour week after that. I asked him if help was plentiful at his mill. He said?"Well, it's owing to what you mean by help. If you mean that we need more loafers, you are all wet. There are 2 or 3 families to every room on our hill. One of the bosses left a scantling leaning up against a tree the other afternoon and during that night, 4 families moved under it. Every time a loom starts, 244 men make a dive for it and there are enough doffers (ready to doff) to eat every green pepch Jn our county." I begged him to tell me what we were all going to do about this republican prosperity. He recommended that we take all of the cloth now manufactured and in warehouses and bum it up, destroy entire cotton crop now nearing harvest, lynch every other cotton farmer, shoot half the mules, pass a law forbidding the use of modern farm machinery and force farmers of all kinds, wheat- corn, cotton and hay to use no implements whatever in their work except wooden tooth-picks. And he raved: "Yes sir, there ought to be a law against killing boll weevils and other pests. In fact, our agricultural colleges should put in a course on: "How to spread crop pests and increase their population? What this country needs is smaller crops, less land, more "running" industries, and possibly a good war, but if we can't arrange a satisfactory war with some foreign nation, a few dry years with complete crop failures will turn the trick." Why, that boy was a mess. He thought it would be wise to deport Henry Ford and convert Gen. Motors into a poorhouse. He even insinuated that half the politicians should be beheaded and their tongues split. He finally looked up at the town clock, borrowed a quarter and a chew of tobacco from me and walked offspreading his gospel of cheer to any who might be willing to listen. Held For Deportation. Charleston.?Peter Kremerujo, native of Dalmatia, after a sevenmonths trip across the North American continent, is in the hands of immigration officers for deportation. He was picked up by Charleston police M a vagrant.

State to Lose Congressman. Columbia.?As ? result of the 1330 census the .State of South Carolina will lose one congressman in 11)3*2. The general assembly must reapportion the congressional representatives which will be reduced to six. This will likely cause a great political squabble in the general assembly. Runaway Auto Injures Owner Hampton.?Nix Mixson is a patient in a Charleston hospital suffering from injuries sustained when his , automobile attempted to stage a runaway. Mr. Mixon was cranking his car, not knowing it was in goar,! when it knocked him down, jumped a ditch, went through a fence and finally stopped against a tree.
