* * ' * A -KILJ.. XI" .1- ' -L 1 Hull) Meets Defeat After a. number of turbulent scenes. Joe Wise pulled a peculiar stunt one night on the old U'gar? place in "Boo&elund" several months back. He shot up the house, made the occupant dance a "can-can," and killed tt dog or two. An agreement was alleged to have been arranged by the authorities ami Joe that he would leave the county never to return. He located a few mlies below Branchvilie in Dorchester county, where they breed heathens, gunmen and fiat and skull fighters wholesale. Everything, it ?? said, went smoothly as a marriage b^ll for a time. Ho lapsed back, however, into his periodical mania f?r a scrap. Ordinarily, Joe is a delightful sort of fellow, and good looking. . . More than that, he is a Jim Corhott of a physical giant, When, in hiv*&M,!b he is highly dangerous. Substantial rumor has it that Joe met bis match m Branchville. What wounds he left (in his vis-a-vis, is not Stated, but Joe brought the scars of conflict back home to jail. .. It seems that wooly domain was too small to hold two fighting monsters.: and opponents like Joe and his antagonist. No new-comer, wearing a heavy coat of war paint, was probably welcome or safe. Either the home bully or the slranger must go down to defeat and extermination. Whatever the reason, Joe journeyed back to the old camping ground, where he has been cock of the walk, to .take his chances. . That one so physically powerful, and, naturally of so amiabltt' a "disposition, seems incapable of maintaining a normal equilibrium, is sincerely deplored.? Calhoun Times. The jury in the case of Terry N. Harper. 11, charged with the murder of Charles O. Holton at High Point, N. on the night of December 2'A, Tuesday night at Greensboro brought m a verdict of not guilty. The cause of the killing* was the alleged intimacy of Harper'* wife and Holton. Harper depended on a plea of selfdefenso in his trial. Edward Allen is on trial at N'orristown, Pa., charged with the murder of Francis A. Donaldson, fiance of Rose Allen, sister of the defendant. Miss Allen took the stand Wednesday as a witness for the state against her brother. She declared that he threatened to kill Donaldson a few hours before the killing occurred.

Nobody's Business Written fojr The Chronicle by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1928. WHgJtE THE TROUBLE LIBS ..It isn't so much that our Southern Staffes have lost their credit in New York as it is New York hasn't got anything in the cash line to spare . .after she maintains her own,credit. A soda jerker told me yesterday that Philadelphia and Chicago and Wild Hog, as well as many other northern municipalities are as broke as a "hant." It looks like those Yunks are k-needing their own dough. . .Apparently Old Mun Nature is afixing to enforce the "Pay-As-YouGo" law, and we sincerely hope he" will succeed. As long as politicians can borrow other peoples' money and spend it as they please, our government will remain in a dangerous position. ?. There are hundreds of good, honest, efficient men in public office, but there are thousands of gimlet-heads that are trying to hold down 2-inch augur jpbs. It won't work in public business any better than it will in private business. ' ..I know men who aro well suited to stay at homo. .. .and help the wife raise a few children.... that are intrusted to the task of deciding what is best for their state's citizenship: many of them have failed at running a 1-mule farm, or fell doyvn on some other job that was no more important, yet?there they are, and they will be re-elected unless 51 percent of the voters begin to think a few thoughts for themselves. Ten-cent brajns can't mix with million-dollar undertakings without being scrambled. ..Why, people, not over 99 percent of our law-makers and pie-peddlers have very much more sense than I've got... and if they had twice as much, they'd still be weak in the cranium. 1 don't profess to know how to run big jobs....and if somebody were to offer me one that I couldn't hold down, I believe I would say?"No, thank you: I am afraid that I am too small for that place. You'd better get somebody with more business ability than I possess." And he'd fall dead right then and | there, and I'd go to his funeral the next day. ..Our country ia almost as badly ruint as the fellow who came into my office ami told me how shamefully he had been treated. Here's his story: "I was getting along fairly well 'till December, then the instalment collector came and got my automobile. ... after I had made 8 payments: the radio agent grabbed my radio....and I was only 5 payments behind... .and my electric refrigerator was hauled off....and mo done paid 2 payments, and the worst of ull?they took all of my furniture, and I lost the 14 dollars that I had paid; down on it. I don'* know what this country is coming to.... honest folks getting treated any such-erway." Our public spenders are now in this guy's fix, but the burden is not on them..but the taxpayers. BED.-9PRING LUXURY OF LONG AGO ..The first step my parents, ever made in the direction of "high society" was the time they bought a set of springs for the "company room", bed. Most of us, as well as our neighbors, had been raised on straw ticks which rested on bed slats or cross-ropes, and a bed spring back then was something to wonder at. .. We had a nice "company rooin" bed. .made of oak. .with 2 little birds carved on the head-board, and the foot-board had 2 more little birds carved on it: they always sung our visitors to sleep. In addition to the straw tick, the "company room" bed was equipped with a feather mattress ....and when those springs were installed, that was the finest bed- in Dark Corner township or possibly anywhere else. ..The set of bed springs in question) were powerful pretty: they were made J of blue steel and those^ spirals., were j the cutest spirals ever spiraled, It I was nearly a month before we1'had' friend to call and spend the night. *Way^ before bed-time, we boys and girls began to tell him what a fine bed he was going to sleep on that night....and we didn't give him a chance to talk about anything else but that bed. . .Well, 7:30 o'clock finally came, and Ma let me and Jim and Will and Bob show Itev. Speers to his room, I toted the lamp and my brothers fetched along . the wash-bowl and pitchor and the cake of sweet smelling soap and a linen towfl and the soap dish and the other part of the set: these things were so valuable they were kept locked up in a closet till the "company" actually came and got ready to retire. . . Rev. Speers had no sooner got into the room till S of the boys pujled the feather bed off and showed him those springs, and one of us got upon them and bounced up and down a few times to let him know something of their springy-ness. Hb acted sorter like he had seen a set of them before, but we didn't much believe him. He sat down on the side of the bed to pull off his shoes ansoforth, and he slid off, and thatshowed he wasrjjt used to them. ..The chief desire of my brothers and sisters was to sleep on those springs one night, but we never got a chance. ... but once.... it was Saturday. .. .Ma and Pa went to preaching and while they were away, all of us went in and crawled upon that clean -bed and "made like" we were f on the-eve of being wrapped in the 1 arms of Morpheus, and befoj-e we thought..we were all sound asleep^. I f u ^ v n t|| and the first thing: we knew..alxn 3 hours late/, .there stood Ma in tk door with a brush broom and M her side with a razor strop. Only] out of 9 escaped without serious ret? end injury, but we got our wish,; even if we got a beating with it. r- Sumter Loses Good Citizen Elbert E.
