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.?

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.
