Nobody's Business written /or The Chronicle by Gm McCioc, Copyright, 1928. WKU-MEAJNING neigh nous ^ f0w Sabbath* ago, a good friend my family drove over and aaked fa to take a ride with him, nnd seeing that only him and his wife were occupants of that ahiny limousine, I ,ccept<Hl his inviUtion. As soon as J get 'comfortably enponced in the rear seat with my feet resting cutely on a bi* velvet footstool, I noticed that, this good friend (?) stopped his car right in front of his mother-in-law's house ttl,about 10 blocks from rty domicile. * M After tooting his horn viciously for * few minutes, the front door opened fttid there stood '<ma" in all of W 250 pounds of glory and obesity. He hollered, '\Como on, irta... .and go to ride with us." "Ma" dived back into the house and came forth a minute later with >Susie, iChoily, (Damie and Jerry., trailing her. ..As she approached our bus, I wondered if she intended to take those 4 younguns along, but while I .was Wondering, my friend's wife remarked: Mother, darling, you all just climb jn the back seat with Mr. McGee, you know him, don't you? He's Gee McGee... .what Writes for the papers. .."Ma" managed to get in at last., after having been pushed and shoved by her 1 ofT-springa named above. She didn't sit down: she just spreaded herself out like a setting hen and she practically hid me from view. Damie, the baby, got in her lap, if you could call that "lodgment" a lap, but Susie and Cholly and Jerry sat on me. Well, before We had gone very far, "ma" stuck a crochet hook in (my eye: she was trying to crochet, nurse Damie. dip snuff, look at the landscape, ride and spit all at the same time. I was almost smothered before we got 10 miles from home. Cholly and Susie wore sucking -all-day suckers while Jerry was eating chocolate bon bons. Those kids tromped my Sabbath suit till it wasn't fit to wear. I' had candy and flies all over me. "Ma" never moved an inch the Whole; trip. She covered me like a feather bed. 1 never saw a thing exo<gpt the top of one mountain, while we were going around a curve; then I had to look out the back window. The next guy thut gets me to go to ride Vith him will have to be on a motor-cycle. Why, folks, I ain't near over that trip yet, and it's been 3 weeks. The average politician who gets his "eating" from the tax-payers pockets is vitally interested, .at nil times..in the following 4 very important issues : 1. .Himself, 2.. Himself, 3. .Himself, 4..Himself. When you vote for a -man in the future, why not consider him from a personal viewpoint, for instance: Would you let him work fo?_you ? ^ould you take him in as a partner? Would you let him loaf in your "backyard at night? If not, why not? .-.J From a worm's eye view of our present trouble... .which has been brought iibout by waste, graft, extravagance. rotten politics, and debt. ... it looks like political pie has got to sliced smaller and operating expenses reduced about 40 per cent.... or somebody's going to bust. Mr. Jones says he's planning to milk His cow on the federal government scheme, as follows: Old Bess *ill be brought into the barn by the chief cow-puncher. She will be fed by the feed and food commissioner, der ud.ier will be washed by the chief s.mitary officer- of cows and calve*. Then, he will manage the other or.-- by himself. We -,;spect that the main reason why .<j:- senators and congressmen *** v<>\r.g against cutting The salar,es oi all government employees is it will affect too many of their daughters, sisters, wives, unftes. cousins, sweethearts, nephews, nieces and possibly a few of their -ifoik?.

J . ^ . - r ^ t Push Crop Fast Advice of Agent Present indications are that if weather conditions are normal the boll weevil hazard in Kershaw county will be very great this year. Therefore, it is important that practical precautions be taken to save all of the crop possible from boll weevil, damage. However, in consideration of the low prices now prevailing for cotton and cotton seed your countyj agent does not advise expensive con-i trol methods. In the first place the cotton should be rushed to maturity as rapidly as is practical., Tho chief factors in this connection of course are early appli-i cation of side-dressing material* and proper cultivation to maintain soil moisture and keep down weeds. It has been found that many farmers have been applying the side-dressings a little two late for the maximums fruit development in consideration of the time element under weevil conditions. Producing cotton now is more or loss 6f a race between, the farmer and the boll weevil wherein the farmer tries* to have as much of the cotton mature ahead of the great multiplying of boll weevils. It is conceded that the chances* are good that tho weevil will get the last of the crop as the weevils will be in greater numbers the latter part of the season. For direct control methods tho application of the 1-1-1 mixture is recommeinded. This is made of 1 gallon of water, 1 pound of calcium arsenate, and 1 gallon of molasses. This mixture should be applied to the small cotton stalks by use of a mop. The first application ^6ing made about the time the first squares are found in the field However, if weevils are noticed attacking the bud of the cotton prior to the formation of squares it is advisable to apply one application of the poison mixture at that time rather than wait for squares to form. Three or four applications of this mixture applied at intervals of about one week will probably be our best method of direct control work, says Henry D. Green, county agent. Teachers Urged To Demand Par Columbia, May 21. ?1- iStatements urging teachers not to sell below pRr state notes which will be issued today by Julian H. i9carborough, state treasurer, and J. >P. Coates, secretary and treasurer of the 'South Carolina Teachers' association. The first part of the $3,394,000 in notes issued in payment of current teacher salaries and transportation for 1031-32 will be mailed Monday to county superintendents who will distribute the notes to teachers. The notes are issued in denominations ranging froA $1 to $100, and bear 6 per cent interest. "Any teacher?who sells his notes below par is making a needless sacrifice," State Treasurer Scarborough said. ' "The state's * appropriations are within the revenue this year and the notes should bring 100 per cent on the dollar; they are worth that much from the revenue set-up." Little Negro Martyr In Protest Parade Chicago, May 21 .-^A, negro boy was mor^ of a martyr than he intended to be when he sat in. an improvised "electric chair" at the head of a parade today. The parade, in which some 3,000 persons marched as a protest against the impending execution of seven negroes in Scottsboro, Ala., proceeded through the south side under police escort. N The negro youth, 11 years old, seemed to enjoy his role as occupant r.f . v.GU n nutcme bile up to a certain point. That was when someone dropped a basket of eggu on his head. It was a direct hit.

Met With Mrs. Truesdale The regular meeting of the Mt. Zion home demonstration club was held at the home of Mra Thomas Truesdale on last Thursday afternoon with a largo number present. The club was called to order by the president, Mrs. Paul Brown, after which Miss Sadie Craig, home demonstration agent, gave an interesting talk on "A Cheerful Kitchen," which was the last of the series of the six lessons on home management. Especial emphasis was stressed on the kitchen being convenient, attractive and cheerful. One of, the phases is to have beautiful kircnens. Miss Louise Hunnicutt, who represented the club at Sumter, at the Recreational (Short Course, gave a vory enthusiastic talk on the importance of recreation, emphasizing the value of the old folks as well as the young having recreation. During the social hour games were ; enjoyed, after which the l\pstese, assisted by her daughters, Mioses Effio and Geneva, served a delicious salad course. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. John Dunn, on Juno 10th. All members are urged to be present at this meeting as Miss Minnie Floyd, nutrition specialist from Winthrop college, will be present and will give a talk.?Contributed.

JTjL Once he gets busy with a square, the boll is I ~ gone. Reports indicate enough weevils this year to ruin the crop, if they get a chance. Whether they get it or not, depends pretty much on you.? Weevils can't hurt a crop much, once the bolls are set. Because of the heavy infestation this year, set your crop as early as you can. , ^ Nothing takes the place of a Chilean Nitrate fA 1 * 0 side-dressing for making an early crop. There is no way a little money could be better invested now than for 100 pounds (200 pounds would be better) of Chilean Nitrate to side-dress each acre of your cotton. ** Don't fail to specify Chilean Nitrate when you see your dealer. That is just as important as side-dressing itself., . Get busy I The weevils will be plenty busy soon. ! TWO KINDS Both are natural ^ 100 i?. BAG! l AND | 300 LB.
