Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by CJee McGee, Copyright, 192,8. 'WAY HACK YONDER. I have ..been a timid soul all my life. I never had a sweetheart till I wu* about 18 years of age, and I wasn't her sweetheart at all. I begun loving two or three girls when I was 4 years younger, but I could not possibly muster up enough courage to tell them how sincerely my heart was yearning for their affections. 1 was IP years old when Sadie Ix>e and I both fell in love with one another and it was no puppy love either. I'd break my neck any day to see that sweet girl pass down the big road in front of our house much less sit and talk with her a few minutes. She was fat, but fatness was stylish. She Was freckled-faced, but 1 didn't mind freckles. She was pigeon-toed, but that was (). K. with me also. ct. One day in July, my mother sent me to the station ( a town with 2 stores) to sell an old dominecker hen. Mother gave me a list of things to buy with this fowl and it totalled j 26 cents. I begged the man so hard to give me JO cents for my egg-produce, he finally gave in and that netted me a nlck'le extra. That was somewhere close do the third or fourth piece of money 1 ever possessed. ' ? I bought ^21 sticks of pretty peppermint candy with my money. I ate 7 of them on the way home and hid out the 16 other sticks to keep my brothers ami sisters from eating them up. I planned for several days how to have a candy-party with Sadie Lee, and finally decided to beg father to let me have a mule and our top buggy Sunday afternoon, and he did so. I slipped off from everybody and drove over and picked up Sadie Lee with her pretty calico (Itch's and home-knit stockings, home-made bonnet unsoforth. Sadie Lee and I drove around a little while and then I showed her all of that candy. She almost had a tit. She dearly loved candy. We licked candy and sucked candy and chewed candy (and courted) and broke candy for 2 or .'i hours. That girl sure was proud of me.... fetching nil of those refreshments to her. I think I ate about two-thirds of the stuff myself, but that was all right with her. (P. S. We didn't do any hugging: it wasn't stylish back then). A few weeks after this love-feast, Millie Smith bought a dime's worth of i fancy candy chocolate. lemon J drops, and buttercups, and be look i Sadie Let* to ride and also t*>o k her j plumb away from me at the same titm*. Him and her finally married.* and 1 have never spoken to either rrf I 1 O ' them or a single one of their 1younguns.

The 16-year-old boy, who ?i>ent his days as a mild-mannered student ami his nights as a roving brigand, was shot fatully Thursday night wi^en an officer 'surprised' him and five of his pals as they attempted to rob a storekeeper.

Permanent Pastures Make Cheaper Beef Clemjton OoHege, (H't. 3.? A really good permanent pasturo and plenty of it la the greatest asset for economical beef production in South South Carolina, according ff> Prof. U V. Starkey, chief of the animal husbandry division here, who states that if the pasture problem is bwhdled corectly in South Carolina our feeding period for beef caitle should not exceed three and a half months. It is better to underestimate than to overestimate the carrying\ capacity o{ pastures, he says, for short pastures cause cattle to go into winter quarters "too^hin in flesh, and frequently It makes feeding 'necessary too early in the fall and too late in the spring, thus increasing the cost of wintering the cattle. "It is a good plan to hold back a certain area by not grazing it during the summer and fall and turn on this area after the regular pasture has been exhausted," Prof, darkey suggests. "Another good plan is to let an areu grow up in the fall and leave it for spring grazing. The young grass in the spring mixed with some dead grass will cause the cattle to hold up in weight much better than young grass alone. "In some cases, farmers are equipped to graze the cattle for a short period on small grains or cover crops" A bale of cotton in a Laurens bonded warehouse is 70 years old and was grown by the grandfather of the present owner who inherited it from his father.
