I vitiited K friend in ft nearby
town not long Ago. I had not been
to see him in over a year. I knew
nearly everybody in that town and
learned to like aeverul of her leading
business men. I always naked about
the various acquaintances . when I
failed to see them while there.
. . .1 will call the town of my friend
Hopeville: but'that isn't what the
p oa toff ice sign say*. While talking
to my friend Hi A (who's name is
laek), I naked him how Mr. Brown,
the fertilizer dealer, was getting along.
He suid?"Why, haven't you
heryd. He sold fertilizer on credit
last year unci he's in.the asylum now.
... .1 knew 2 other fertilizer dealers
in Hopeville, and I thought JL',1
ask about them. Hill (.hick) told nie
that Mr. Piddle sold guano on credit
also last year, unci he's in the poorhouse
now. Mr. Fiddle sold 278 tons
of on credit: he's on the chaingann?offense?whipping
a cash (?)
customer.
....That was sud news. to me and
a couple of tears trickled down my
vest anil lodged in the crease of my
britches. Being a fertilizer ugent
myself, I asked'-Jack, whose name is
not Hill,* how it all happened. He
said-?"Well, ycu know, all of these
men were great believers in peddling
out the milk of human kindness."
... .1 replied?'"'1 hut's so, but they
should not have put it into bags."
Tnen Hill explained it ai.: "Mr.
Brown sold his stuff to his friend
who promised to pay him when theyj
sold their cotton?they havon't soldi
yet. Mr. Piddle was to be paid when
they got thru hauling but they ap--parently
have not finished. (Where
they bought 200 bags, they hauled
only 1 !Klf 50 YOU ?pp iHt?V ' i H' t thl'U
yet.)
. . . .He stopped talking. I asked him
what happened to Mr. Fiddle. He
said?"Mr. Fiddle expected a settlement
from his milk-of-human-kindness
friends 'next week' and 'on the
first' . and by 'May 10th.' The fertilizer
companies paid their dealers
nearly a dollar a ton for handling
and storing and selling and delivering
their goods?-that is?they allowed
them 4 per cent from the cash
price of the stuff when they got it
in the early spring.
....Nobody blamed the furmers or
the guano agents. Ten-cent cotton
and 50-cent corn won't pay debts.
The guano companies got their money
(mostly), but after the dealers got
thru paying interest and licenses and
losses?they had no other course except
the asylum or poorhouso or
chaingang. Of course, they could
have shot themselves, like many of
them did, but we are certainly having
some fine weather here of late.
HOW TO DRIVE AN AUTOMOBILE
1. Don't fail to blow your horn
; when turning a corner on 2 wheels.
This will attract the atten'tion ol"
some people who really and truly
enjoy watching a fool do foolish
things.
* *
2. Kindly sound your horn in the
following manner: "toot, t-o-o-t,
t?o?o?t, t oo 1," when the
guy in front of you chokes down and
can't get his starter to work?in congested
traffic. That's the way all
lunatics act.
3v. When someone hits you in the
- isaeir find, an<r trtssTo-^xptetirTr toyou,
hold your temper?and tell him
that it was all your fault?that you
held out your hand?but that you
have a small hand, and he could not
possibly see it, and offer bo pay for
his 2 lights aiid gtypmper and your
gas tank." " ? x
# * ?
4. When you overtake a large
truck or a covey of large trucks that
occupy all of the middle of the road,
stop right in your tracks, turn around,
go back home, and try to make yotir
trip tomorrow. Of course, if you are
in an Austin, you can ^acoot under
those road elephants, but if ycu are
in an automobile, don't ever try to
meet or . pass one of them. It can't
be done safely.
5. Don't dim your lights when
meeting a car. Undertakers and garage
men have to make a living, and
you can help them by observing
rul*. In parking "your car, be sure
to make it impossible for the car
on either your right or your left to
back out without mashing your fender
off, or possibly ruining his own.
And- it*a nice to park right behind
the-other-fellow also. ^ J,
' ' r - 9\
6. D<mt blow your horn until you
have actually struck a pedestrian. If
he hasn't got sense enough to stay
at home or out In the woods, he won't
7
V
have Sense enough to know that you
haven't any sense at all, so Ibe nonchalant?put
him in your car and
take him to the hospital, after phoning
the coroner. Then' look yourself
up a good lawyer. Sensible people
who are able to pay damages generally
carry liability insurance.
7. Always drive 06 m. p. h. If
you can't pay "cash for your gas,
give the man a chedk.), Dodge your
creditqrs and our speed cops. Meet
your monthly installments and let
your grocer, preacher and doctbr
starve. Have yopr oil .. jmcL. pocketbook
drained at every filling statiom
keep your taii light lit, but don't
get lit yourself while driving. In
case of sudden death, have your address
in your vest pocket. But while!
living, don't have any regard for the
other man's rights. o
