? The Other Fellow
1 Most of our worries are caused
y the short-comings of the other
I and you and I are the other
I jAw. A large majority of the
Ijople have forgot how to meet a
[jromise. If every man's word was
l< bond and his bond always fetched
[ptr, this old world would indeed be
ifit place in which to live. .
I If we would carry out our promise
wheh we say: "30 days after
date, I promise to pay," wouldn't
the bankers be sitting pretty ? Think
how happy a merchant and his family
would be if every customer paid
his bills according to his word, and
the preacher could and would preach
better if we would do what we agreed
\o do when he moved into our midst.
When I>ick promises to meet an
obligation, you can look for him a
Mr. J. A. White Says, "If You
Have An Automobile,
Keep Rat-Snap/'
"If I knew about RAT-SNAP last
Winter, would have saved $120. My
car was in the garage for a few
weeks during the bad weather; when
I went to take it out, found that rats

week or two late, unci Tom forgets
that he ever intimated that he would
pay a bill, but Harry swears that he
didn't even buy the stuff to begin
with. A large majority of the deadbeats
are deadbeats from choice:
they prefer to get their "eating" by
misrepresentation rather than thru
the "sweat-of-the-brow" medium.
Some folks think that they are too
good to be asked for a settlement
of an account. There's not much difference
between the guy who pays
"when he gets good and ready" and
the. simp who never intended to pay.
at all. If you want to find out who
pays his debts, ask the filling station
keeper or the meat market man.
Lots of so-called good citizens evidently
think it is a sin and a shame
to pay gas and meat bills?and possibly
coal bills.
And another young fellow who
knowjs all about your credit or your
luck of credit is the little newsboy
who totes your paper to you every
evening or every morning, rain or
shine, sleet or snow: if you won't
pay him, you won't pay anybody else
any better. And the milkman can
tell you a little of the debt-dodging
proclivities of your community too,
if you happen to want to know. (Any
person who ever had to fool with a
Tmhch of old cows ought to pay Lhcr
milk-man first.)
Some real good people can't pay
their honets debts. Sickness and
calamity interfere, as well as lack
of employment* crop failures, ?tc.
Hut the man who is able U> meet
radioH-ar-refrigerator installments,
and tun ride everywhere he wants
lo go, and doesn't pay Vis honest
debts is just about as ^ood a citiaen
as u chipmunk is a bull-fro*.
My Life's History
(Gainesville, (la., (Jet. ID, 1930.
Dear Mr. McGce:
1 read your pieces every day. My
mother and I live alone on a farm,
and we enjoy all of your old-time experiences
because they ring so true
to life. Won't you please write u
short history of your life and have
it printed at an early date so that
we may know you better.
Your friend,
Mrs. O. L. K.
IJear Mrs. K.:
1 feel so sorry for anybody that
lives on a farm at this time, 1 am
going to oblige you by giving you
a short sketch of my life.
1 was born on a farm, but that
wasn't my fault, t was very young
for several weeks and then took the
hives. 1 had a cradle and 2 little
dresses and knew how to suck my
thumb in almost no time,
I started off bow-legged and fairly
good-looking, but out-grew both of
these deformities. My hair was dark
at first and then disappeared, but
came back white, and remained white
till I was 13 when I entered the
fourth grade where I stayed till I
was 16. And then pa moved too far
from the school house.
I was just an ordinary boy, but
must have been rather bright as some
of the older folks called me "smart
Aleck," but my name was Gee from
the very start. I followed plowing
and hoeing and reaping and sowing
till we got so poor somebody had
to leave home and as I was the,sorriest
hand on the place, they ran
me off. >
?J kept on growing till I grew up.
When I was 19, I made 25 cents a
day working as a scare-crow in
water-melon patches, and will make
a much better one now, but water
melons ain't famous like they useter
be. I finally got married to a
strange girl who knew very little
about me and my past history, and
we have got along fine as she is a
brunette and good humored and has
some sorry kinfolks too.
Everybody works at our house except
the baby and it takes both of
us cleaning up after her. I have
only 1 wife and 1 child at home now.
I get up every morning about C and
work about 12 hours as a wholesale
merchant. And I go to bed at around
_JJ?Pi?.Hi ?That's?all,?as I am now
ready to go to bed. I hope you will
like me better now, as you know me.
Your true friend,
Gee McGee.

Loot in Charlotte
t
Charlotte, Oct. U.?Charlotte police
eaily today recovered $.14,000 of
the $<>4,000 stolen from an American
Trust company money truck October

Robbery at Jefferson
Columbia, Oct. 13.?The state penitentiary
today sent detectives to
Jefferson, Chesterfield county, where
the safe in a department store was

$40,000^n' negotiable securities scattered
about the office.
Officers were unable to explain
why the robbers left the negotiable
papers. Many of them had been
wadded up and thrown on the floor,
all apparently having been handled
by the thieves.
The stolen $200 was in silver. v
