I Nobody's Business I rhun i*r ^Tbt Obreniclt by Qm I " IlcO?.C??rri?ht, 1928. I JUST A DIME AT A TIME wifo( bless her sweet soul) Is j 10-cent store fanatic. It Is really financially dangerous for her to walk I jnto one. She's -terribly close, exI tremely economical and nearly stingy I ... .everywhere except in 10-cent ^ore*. She wouldn't think of payI ing 86 cents for an article in a reg-| jjjar shoppe, but aht'll buy 12 things at 10 cents apiece without batting an eye.... in '^Nothing above a IHme" I emporium. ..The other day.,,.while out sum Bering.. *she spied a 10-cent store' j tCross the street and made a dive j for it. She needed (only) a. wash rag, but when #he got thru? P"* tol<*( I me to "pay her," meaning the clerk, and here's what I settled for; 3 toy trucks ( for baby), I l toy balloon( for baby), I 2 packages toothpaste, 1 bottle vaseline, 3 palmetto fans, I 2 rag dolls (for baby) , 1 more toy truck( for baby), 1 rubber ball (for baby), ; 1 bow and arrow (for baby), I ' l cake soap (for baby), 1 alcohol lamp (for baby), 1 more truck (for baby), I 3 papers safety pins (for baby), I l wash rag (for me). I ..Why, folks, a view years ago roy I wife and I were up in New York,' j 788 miles from home..?.riding in an upper berth of a Pullman car. ... and I while perambulating Fourth Avenue, her eye caught sight of a 20-story 10-cent store, and we entered therein for the afternoon. i r ..Now, mind you, friends... .we have a 10-cent store at home that I sells-* just exactly what those New York 10-cent stores were selling, but I' when I came out of, that joint 3 j hours later, I looked like a Santa I Claus and whole coveys of children followed me for blocks yelling.... "Lookit old (Suurftver-time Santa I Claus." And did I perspire sweat? j My answer is yes, aVplenty... .toting j, those bundles. I ..I have a touch of 10-cent store-ism myself, especially in fche hardware department. I always want to buy J I everything they have from a carpet; tack to a claw hammer, but as I have to do my own paying, I never purchase but one thing at a time. 1 am strong for screw-drivers and pliers, and think mighty well of electric light cords and cold chisels. (N. iB. 1 do moat of my own wiring and plumbing). Of course, I enjoy (shopping with my wife and never criticise her for trying to unstock the J10-cent stores. That's about the only place she's been able to trade iiufor 10 years. social news from flat rock .. i have benh asked to correct a report i made in this collum last week when i said that a horse had flung mr. jhon green and broke his leg. it was a mule and it only sprung his leg. he wants the records kept straight. ..i am glad to say that all of the candydates usspjrihg to publick offis this summer seem to be verry intelligent they can read and.rite and nearly every one of them can spell and cipher a right smart, this will help the country, as it will be harder for the lolalby-Bters to buy them over. ..my 2 nephews Went to Washington, d. C., after their bonus, they left home a-walking, but kebched a ride up in n. ., at a town that decided to haul them thru rather than feed them, joe says he is going to shake his fist in the face of congress or get his monney. he newer went over, but his tonsils is bad and he draws only 40$ a month now onner count of same. . . n^r. sawyer hurt, the dairyman, lost a nice cow by death last week when she tried to jump a fence made out of pailirigs. this leaves him with 8 nice cows, and with the help of a nearby spring, he will be able to fill all orders for milk as heretofoar. her name was "judie" and she was named after the man's wife who sold her to him. she will bo missed by his customers sooner or later. . .dr. early rizer,. the owner of the druggist at this place, has put in an electric fan and. has taken down the big fly brush over the sody fountain, he will possibly not make his soft drinks verry strong untill after he gets the said fan paid for. it is made like., a squirreljcage and runs so fast that you can't count the spokes in it. the down payment was 5$ with 3$ a month, so the agent said. ?3 I ..a man drove over from the eountyl peat last tuesday trying to sell the farmers in our midst some boll weevil I poisob, but they ran him out of town, the farmers say that it ought to be a lynching1 offense for annybody to! kill a boll 'weevil this year, either malice aforethought or axvidental. i think it would "be best to try to spread them rather than destroy them. *. 4 yorea trulie, mike Clark, rfd. .. I have never had any particular dislike for any kind of doge except the bull type and the washrag models, the latter being lovingly as the tSpitz. ( I simply cant understand why u bull dog was ever invented. ..When 1 lived in Los Angeles.,., where 1 have never been but once and spent only 3 days I had a neighbor whose name was not Bro^n or Smith, and they were the happy owners of a Spitz fiste and every time they hugged and kissed her, my stummick gpt weak. Arid that meant that it stayed weak, week after week. ..The precious little canine in question was imported from Spitsbergen. I have never felt kindly toward! Spitzbergen since they told me that. She was so ugly that my wife cried every trine she looked at her. .She (th? dog) looked exactly like a screech owl that had been spanked in .the face with a coal shovel. .. One dpy I unthoughtedly pitched a small piece of ham to WilhelminaCeleste... . Yep, that was her full n&me....anh before she could swallow it, 4 different Smiths ran out and picked up the "precious-little-darlingangel. . . .old-bad-man give-our-littleo odium-old-mean-ham.., .we-whip-old -mean-man." .. They retrieved that bite of meat and pitched it in the garbage can ....entirely out of reach of Wilhelmina-Celeste, and incidently gave me the look that had been held in reserve for the criminal that might have shot their mother. I felt so cheap I had to go down behind the barn and cuss for( 15 minutes. ( j i /' . .1 didnt see this fine little lady dog for nearly^ a month. ' tt seems that she swallowed enough of that ham gravy to give her intestinal indigestion. ~Mra. Smith was ueeii I feeding her some goat milk' with a dessert spoon in the parlor when I] re-discovered her (the dog). I had hoped that she had been deported^ but no such luck had befallen me. ..Mrs. Smith had 2 other children besides this pup. She paid very little attention to John, Jr., and Rachel. She attended all the. parties in the community and so did the dog. Why, she, meaning MrB. Smith, never felt that she was dressed up unless she had that bunch of fur pressed to her heart. I finally got so disgusted with those folks that I made the man foreclose his mortgage on our house and then we moved in the suburbs where women loved babies as well as dogs. j The South Carolina association of county officers closed its annual meeting at Aiken with the election of Officers. J. H. Sally, Orangeburg coun- j ty treasurer, was elected president to succeed R. C. Williams, Union county clei^k of court. T. H. Williamson, Aiken county treasurer, and J. C. R. Oswald, Lexington county sheriff, were elected new vice-presi-1 dents. j Congress has passed the act providing a commission to commemorate the first settlement of English speaking people on this continent, at Roanoke Island, North Carolina, where Sir Walter Raleigh left the colony which disappeared before the supporting ship from England returned. The! 150th anniversary will be in 1934, and the commission, serving without pay, will have cliaigc ?f nit appropriate celebration of the event. Howard Curtis, a barber, went into nn Atlanta restaurant on Saturday, called for a waitress, Annette Bryant, 20 and pretty, shot her through the heart, killing her instantly, and turned the pistol on Himself, but it snapped several times. When he was grabbed off the dead bo<]y of the girl, he said it made no difference, as he had already taken poison, and on the way to the hospital, he begged the ambulance physicians to let him die from the poison, as he would die anyhow when convicted of murder. Jack Boger, a negro, dropped dead in the court at Charlotte while awaiting trial the second time for Ibooting and killing another man in a fight. Just as the deputy sheriff called the court to order; Boger slumped over in his chair, and when picked up was dead from heart disease. {He was 58 years old. At the first trial he drewa sentence of thaee to five jrears, but his attorney got him a new trial in the supreme court and eras in court ready to defend him again. ? ~ ? r ?. w -*.T .-.TP v.-?. ? ?-.a,m ? ,I,. ?! < ' ~ * Kershaw Lad Dies The hearts of many Kershaw citizens, particularly among the younger folk, woro deeply grieved and peculiarly saddened when it became Known early Friday night that William Gay, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. k.

The North Carolina run-off primary will be held next Saturday, and the campaign for United (States senator between Cam Morrison' and Reynolds growsi/hotter every day. There is less excitement about the campaign for governor, most people believing that Ehringhaus is an easy winner without much talk. * W. A. Knowles, of Matthews, N. C., working at a saw mill near there, was pulled into a circular saw when a strip of wood became entangled with the machinery, and died the next day in the Presbyterian hospital at Charlotte.
