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.

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

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

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.
From and after June 1st there will
be a double daily mail service between
New York and Miami, Fla.

Don't give the
v weevils a chance
ALL any weevil asks is a chance?one chance.
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., .
