Hack Yonder?When lioys Were Hoys
When I was lingering along between
H and 10 yearn of age, I always
managed to have more accidents
ami ailments than any other
boy in our community. I never knew
what it was during the summer
months to have less than 2 stonebruises
on my heels and at least 6
or <J toe-nttiU stubbed off.
- /
Ordinarily when my mother wanted
me ti) go fetch u bucket of water,
or tote in un armful of stove-wood,
or go slop the hogs, my misery was
indeed intense, and when I moved, I
groaned and grumbled, and was all
bent over and was walking on one
side of my left foot while limping
on the other foot. Work was very,
very painful to me, crippled up lik*?
I was.
Hut let somebody say something
about going u-fishing or rabbit hunting,
and immediately stone-bruises
und sore toes and other infirmities
were forgot. 1 possibly shuvyed very
little speed until we got in sight of
the creek with our fishing pole, and
then I'd light out at a mile-a-minute
guit, and would out-run all 5 of our
dogs us well as the rest of the boys.
When we "jumped" a rabbit, I diddent
have time to think of anything
except over-taking that rabbit, which
I usuully did.
I wus especially fine at having
boils in the wrong place. We could
have sold all of our chairs and the
benches in the dining room one summer,
and 1 never would have missed
them. I had to stand up so long on
m . account of "risings", 1 finally got
where 1 never cared to sit down. Another
favorite place for "cow-bunckles"--that's
what they called 'em
then?-was under the aim or on the
back of a guy's nock. I usually kept
one in each place.
Green apples and green plums also
kept me hurting in certain parts of
my anatomy. I generally kept one
arm broke all through the fruit sea-ion?from
climbnig trees to get mus
J-.- I i ' . - ' 1 ' W*"1
cadi iie?. It would dent hurt me much
to fall 40 or 60 feet, ibut the things
werrefit good unless they were at
U'tt?t Of) to 100 feet up In the air.
I usually did my falling from ?uch
height*.
From June through August, 1 wan
spotted all over from being stung by
wasps and yellow-jackets. My lega
were always badly skinned up to my
knees. We were so tough baek then,
we diddent go to bed for such little
diseases as measles, mumps, whooping
cough, malaria fever and cramp
yo>lic. It took something like typhoid
fever or pneumonia to 1>ring any of
us down. My Uncle, Pete, died with
gallop-ping consumption, but he nevor
knew that he had it till he got
to the grave yard.

Prefers Death to Life
Service in Prison
Went Paint Beach, Fla., Nov. 13,?
T. Southworth today ' expressed
"thanks" to the state supreme court.
The court moved" to allow his execution
in an opinion upholdinK the validity
of the Florida electee chair law,
which was attacked on technicalities.
Convicted April 6, 102V, for the
slaying of Horace 0. Wells, of Southampton,
L. I., auto dealer during the
holdup of a bridge party here, Southworth
was informed by Jailfw^Tom
Riggs of the court's decision.
South worth recently wrbte Attorney
General Fred H. Davis asking
that litigation over the electrocution
law not be allowed to prevent hi?
own execution. Southworth said he
wqs pleased the court had given him
Ao much consideration.
Despite his attitude, the jailer ordered
a search of his cell to muke
sure no implements for a possible
suicide attempt were available. The
search was fruitless. Southworth
attempted suicide in his cell after his
urrest and in connection with the
slaying, authorities said.
"I've waited here a long time and
know I should go to the chair.
"I want to go," asserted Southworth.
Five other condemned slayers,
whoso executions have been held inabeyance
pending the outcome of the
litigation, were affected by the decision.
New dates for the executions
are to be set by the governor,

Kiwanis club, headed by ("apt. \V, P.
Conyers, widely known Greenville

farm products were sold in that
county, of which Moultrie is the
county seat. Greenvillians report.
Three hundred applications for farms i
have been received hut none are for ,

They lay their prosperity to a pro- 1
grain of diversified agriculture.
Here's the program for a farm in
Colquitt county: ,
Ten acres of corn, velvet beans and
runner peanuts, (peanut crop for the
hogs to run on and feed themselves);
five acres of oats, followed by pea- 1
vine hay; five acres of sweet potatoes,
cane, millet and home garden;
three acres of watermelons, tobacco
or Spanish peanuts (depending on
market accessibility); two acres oT~
truck; five acres of cotton; three to ;
five acres of low, wet lands for pastures;
three to five milk cows; two {
brood sows and 50 pure-bred hens, j

Poe Points Southward
. Rochester, N. ?., Nov. 17.?The.
south was pictured Saturday as the
land of golden opportunity for young
i farmers by Clarence Poe, editor of '
the Progressive Farmer, before members
of the National Grange and National
radio audience. Horace Greel- ,
! oy's "go west, young man," has been
l changed to "go south, young man" in
. the opinion of Mr. Poe. He said; "It
; is a land of opportunity, especially
for farmers who wish to engage in i
'dairying, cattle, hog and poultry rais- .
ing. The south is the one place left
: where land is so cheap tihat, e<v?n
with present prices of farm products, '
' the ambitious man may obtain his
own home and live independently?i
ns surely as his father went west two
generations ago t-o get cheap land."
