WANTED: SOME REAL HE-MEN
..Certain political hollies seem to
think that they have cut expenses.
What little they have actually done
1 is just about like blowing the foam
off of a schooner of 'beer. But one
thing is certain, thtjy have not reduced
the tax levy.
..Uncle Sam seems to be hard up
too. It ain't nice to say he's busted,
ami even if he is busted, he ain't
like you and me: he has 121,567,876
friends tha/t he can call on for help
and get it. Apti he'll be calling
pretty soon with his new tax bill, so
get ready.
..I.can't say that I believe that the
present stock of public servants (71)
intend to help gat our taxes down.
If they fail to do so in 2 or 3 yeare
it is possible that Mr. A. Citizen will
go on a strike and not pay any more
taxes until he knows what's going
to be done with his dough. He doesn't
know this now.
. .Personally and confidentially, I
sincerely believe that our state and
federal governments could spend between
10 and 50 per cent less in running
our affairs and not hurt anybody
except our grafters and' tit-suckers
and over-paid emu^oyees. It's nice "bo
borrow and spend and then borrow
again and spend, -but old Man P?y
day bobs up ever and anon..and he's
bobbed something terrible here of
late.
. .The waste of money and supplies
in some political enterprises is terrible.
Private business methods could
bo introduced in 75 per cent of our
departments and do all the work for
half the money....in one-third of the
time. The first thing we need tou
eliminate is,, that "PitIVAPE" sign
on so many doors. Ono of our past
troubles is too much privacy. The
only gravy -train I know ^>f now is
the political vestibule that has only
4 seats: one for me and my wife and
my son John and his wife. .. .us 4 and
no more. Amen, Amen.

..We have 2 southern state, North
Carolina and Alabama by name, that
are really bent on cutting down,
straightening up and paying out.'
Some of the loaders in those states
have begun to call a spade a spade,
and if you don't mind, they'll be calling
a shovel a spade before it's over.
They know that they have been hoaded
toward ruin for several years, and
that's why they are flagging. Some
of our other states are talking and
talking about getting their budgets
balanced.
..There's one thing I believe I know
and that's this: farmers and merchants
and^sotton mills and -other
business folks are getting tired of
paying their good m?xney out and not
getting much in return for it. It's
going .to take lots of careful weeding
to "make our paths straight," but
this has got to bo done either by
fair means or foul means....and the
voters are going to be the choosers.
SorrJ about this piece; but it's off
my system now.

Hat rock, s. C? apull 24, 1082.
jeer mr. editor':
i have benn asked to rite up a re^
sent wedding which was hell in Hat
rock last week ami i will do so. the
society corry apondent who has
formerly looked after weddings and
funerals ansoforth is sick in bed >*ith
a doctor and the llu, so i will take

smith-brown nuptials
one of the prettiest weddings that
has benn pulled off in our midst for
7 or 8 years came to a happy climax
last Saturday afternoon just as the
sun was setting behind the western
horizon a-fixing to go down for the
night.
the contracting parties were mr,
archie smith, the third and only son
of his father and mother.who are
descended from a strong herediteiry
of smiths which was close kin to John
smith of filly delphia who* married
pokey-huntus, the Indian girl, and
miss esteller hoke brown, who allso
has a long brown peddigree.
the bride is a graduate of the local
high school and stood head in all her
classes excepp *the year she had measles
and mumps and 1 or 2 othei
things bad enuff to keep her out of
school, she is the only darter of her
parents, mr. and mrs. brown by her
second husband, some of her ancestors
caune over just 3 boats behind
the mayflower.
she was dressed in a green go-away
gown with tullie face dangling plumb
down to the floor, as soon as the
cerry mony was performed by our I
pasture, rev. green, she was carried |
up s?ta.irs by her husband who helped,
change her clothes and when she
came back, the lace was gone and left
her redely to ride, they droveJ off up
towards the mountains in his mod del
"t" with a pair of shoes tied to the
rare axle. ' ^
the groom wore a fine blue serge
coat .with trousers to match and large
tan shoes, he holds a responsible
position in the county seat, but noboddy
has ever been able to find out
what it is, as he has not benn ketched
at woi*k by annyboddy who knew him.
they got pretty close to 10$ worth of
pressents including the check his
daddy rote out for 7$. we wish them
much joy on their fine honeymoon as
well as in the future.
yores truly,
mike Clark, rfd.
S*) THIS IS SPRING?
..Spring cleaning began in earnest
at our house yesterday. Our o feather
pillows are absorbing the violet
rays on top of the hen house. The
feather bed in ensconced on the
clothes line which it has broken down
twice already. And nobody cant get
in our front door.
.Our 3 rugs are scattered on the
grass in the front yard and so are
our 2 cfiTTBrerr. The wheel-barrow is
loaded with stuff out of the pantry
.awaiting its return .after the bugs
and insects and canned pork and
beans have been thoroughly calsomined.
My wife has her head tied up tight
with n bath towel and is imitating a
woman at work.... while the 2 hired
servants are very busy indeed, considering
them only hired servants. . .
doing jast what they are told to do
by her with the towel head. The 3
rocking chairs are in the front porch
with the parlor lamp.
..My bed is missing from its corner
and the hat-rack has (evidently)
racked off to parts unknown. The
radio and the dining table have been
disconnected. The kitchen looks like
an attic where things are stored |
hell-ter-skellter, as Jesse James j
would have said. The 3 cats are in j
the basement with the rats.
I have not been able to get a clean ^
handkerchief out of my cnirfer-. oik ^
since day before yesterday and the j
piona is in the music room with the
graphophone. The baby carriage ^
has been lost since Tuesday. The ,
bath room is practically nulla bona.,
as it is being used as tool headqua: - ,
ters. The gas mentor that is hitched j
onto the Ruud heater is humming a ,
tune entitled: "You May Not Like
Her, But You Must Meter Just The
Same". ... meaning about 3 dollars a
day going up in smoke.
..When I went to lunch just now, I
met most of our furniture out in the
front walk-way. I oozed around to
the chicken-house spigot and washed
my face and hands and then I combed
my head with a nearby chip. I ate
dinner (lunch) out of a tin pan located
on top of the (immovable) electric
range, and slid out of the bade pioct
my head.... due to much
oap-aod* on the floor.
..I enjoy spring cleaning after it is |
all over. Fall cleaning ain't quite so
bad, but it is worse about misplacing
things than spring cleaning is. After
my thin things are stored away along
in early October, I don't see anything
more of them till I attend the rummage
sale for the Httle heathens early
the following autumn. Ain't it fine
to small the sweet scent of Old Dutch
and Cold Dust and Red Daril Lye....

Pays to Stake Plants
in Small Tomato Plot
( It'inson College, May 0.?Where
the space for the tomato patch is limited
and carliness is desired, best results
may he obtained by staking the
plants, for the fruit ripens earlier
and is more uniform in size, says
E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist.
Plants to be staked are pruned to
one or two stems, usually one. To
this end it is necessary to go over
the patch once a week and pinch out
the side shoots which appear in the
axils where the leaves join the main
stem. This main stem is tied to the
stake so the plant will not bend over
and break, any soft twine or narrow
strips of cloth being used for tying.
By pruning and tying in this manner
the plants can be more easily cared
for, they are easier to cultivate, and
the fruit more uniform in sizo twnd
shape than if the plants were allowed
to spread upon the ground.
Most tomato growers in the south
use stakes about fouv or five feet in
length and one inch or nVoro square, ,
which are split from heart pine. If
these stakes are cared for they will
last several years.
Yellow Corn for Hens
Gives Best Results
Clemson College, May 9.-?Poultrymen
are reducing expenses of the
poultry flock through the use of home
mixed feeds, which is the best means
of competing against low prices of
eggs when ingredients may be grown
pn the farm or readily obtained at
prices in line with market conditions,
says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman,
advising poultry producers
of the importance of planting yellow
corn for use in poultry feeds.
''Vitamin A is a requirement for
health and growth of animals. It is
a]so necessary to get. the best hatch
from eggs. This vitamin is found in
abundance in yellow corn, but is not
found in white corn. Poultry rations
composed of white corn are therefore
lacking in this essential factor. Green
feed contains vitamin A, but even
when green feed is in abundance, it
is best to use yellow corn as a further
safeguard in supplying a sufficient
amount of vitamin A", tho specialist
explains.
"Each hen in the flock will consume
one bushel of corn, a peek of
wheat, and eight pounds of meat
scraps. Hence, by estimating the
yield of land, one can determine the
number of acres to plant to feed the
flock. It will also take about 45
bushels of corn and 17 bushels of
wheat to feed a brood of .'100 chicks
and bring 100 pullets to laying age."
Too Many Tacks in His Stomach
A Reading, Pa., news dispatch says
an operation which removed two
hundred tacks from his stomach
proved fatal to Jacob Rheinheimer,
77-year-old shoemaker, who had made
a practice all his life of holding tacks
| in his mouth while mending shoes.
When he became ill and was operated
on a week ago, Rheinheimer admitted
he had swallowed a tack occasionally.
Physicians found the lining
of his stomach pierced with 200
of the sharp-pointed brad*.
Mrs. Samuel Macon Smith, whose
funeral occurred Monday afternoon
at Columbia, was tho widow of the
former pastor of the First Presbyterian
church there and the mother of
the dean of the graduate school of
the state university, I>r. Reed Smith.
She was born and reared in Virginia
and had lived in Columbia 43 years,
being very active all the time in woman's
Christian organizations, the
Travelers Aid, the Associated Charities
and similar philanthropies, although
she always kept m the oackground
as regards publicity. Her
husband died in 1910, and Mrs. Smith
was buried beside him in the corner
of the churchyard of the First Presbyterian
church in Columbia, with
the session of the church and other
prominent men as honorary pallbearers.
She leaves her son and two
grandchildren.
John Files, a Greek charged with !
assaulting two girls 10 and 12 years
'/Id at Darlington, decamped before
the girls told their parents after
some delay, and was traced through
Fayetteville, Raleigh, and Smithfield,
and captured in Brooklyn. He was
brought down to SheritT Register who
took him to tho penitentiary for safe
keeping on Saturday.

Don't* let the weevils
take your crop
IT wasn't much use to plant cotton if the boll
weevils arc going to get most of it. All reports
indicate that the weevils mean business this
year. The warm winter, the late damp spring,
the possibility of a wet summer, all point to a
very heavy infestation.
A lute crop won't stand much chance, If you
can set your crop ahead of the weevils, you will
be reasonably safe. If
there is one thing that will pick your cotton
up and push it right past the weevils, it is Chilean
Nitrate. Nothing takes its place for side-dressing
cotton. While 200 pounds would be better, put on
100 pounds per acre right after chopping. That
may prove enough. If not- you can come along
with 50 to 100 pounds more later in the summer.
Be sure you get Chilean. Specify Chilean
to your dealer. He has it or can get it immediately.
See him now!

Gangsters Rush To
Pay Income Tax
Chicago, May 6.?Chicago's gangland
is rushing to the federal building
these days to pay Uncle, Sam
taxes on its income, apparently to
escape the fate of "Scarfnce" A1 Ca-,
pone and others of its leaders. I
United States District Attorney
George E. Q. Johnson revealed yesterday
that since the big government
drive against gangsters had begun,
more than $1,000,000 has been remitted
in income taxes by gamblers,
racketeers, liquor dealers and other
hoodlums.
The conviction of Ralph Capone,
brother of Al, Johnson said, started
the gold rush and apparently put the
fear of Uncle Sam in the haunts of
the gangster. Recently one gambler
paid a tax of $235,000, another $200,000
and a well known racketeer $35,000.
But the cold million collected from
the frightened hoodlums and thousands
in lines from those convicted
were not the only benefits the treasury
has derived from the income tax
drive here, Johnson said. All over
the nation delinquent taxpayers have
pricked their ears at the heavy fines
and sentences possible and hastened
to remit.
In addition to the gain from fines,
the government is also selling the
real estate of convicted gangsters to
collect the taxes duo. Homes of the
beer barons, Terry Druggan and
Frankie Lake, no\V at Leavenworth,
have been disposed of, may bring
nearly $200,000.
And the government is getting all
set to claim the palatial Florida home
of the once boss gangster, A1 Capone,
now a number in the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta.
Weddings increased one and onethird
per cent in South Carolina in
1981 over 1930, and in number increased
from 26,017 in 1930, to 26,364
in 1931. York county, one of 46 in
the state, furnished one-ninth of the
state total of marriages. There were
19 annullments of marriages in the
state in 1931, against IB in 1930.
Tne police of Gastonia, N. C., are
holding Alec Grier, negro, on the belief
that he is the killer*, of Harold
Carter, 18, filling station operator, in
South Gastonia early Sunday morning.
