'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.
I didn't like being cut out
of her.

Footall Player Killed
Whiie Trying Holdup
Chelsea, Mass., Oct. h.?Charlie
Marino, star hijfh school halfback
shot to death in an attempted holdup
of a Medford store, was buried today.
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.
The team on which Marino starred
won a football game yesterday. The
players later stopped to kneel at the
bier and left the football used in the
game.
Today the football was dropped
into the grave as a dozen pals of the
dead youth, white-gloved and blacksuited,
stood by crying unabashed.

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

Governor Blackwood issued an appeal
to mortgage holders in South
Carolina to withhold foreclosure proceedings
until the home loan banks
begin to function and beyond that
time, if relief does not then come.
He pointed out that foreclosure row
