..well, folks, the election has simply
ruint everything, just like the dimmercrats
and the republicans both
predicted: Business is worse in some
places than it was and our 2 old hens
have absolutely quit laying, my wife
predicted this calamity. N
..while i was reading the returns on
the morning after the ballots were
counted, our orfly cow went dry and
our gum,of honey bees exploded, the
squirrels began pitching nuts out of
their nestA just as soon as they
learned that a new crowd would be
in power after martch the 1.
..i don't know what in the world we
will do now, the smoke that has always
xone up the chimney now flows
thru the parlor window. our old
mule is acting strange since the election:
he "backs" into the stable instead
of going in head first, and he
wont eat c^irn that has been shipped
in from the state of ioway.
..we had precching at rehobcr church
last Sunday, and the collection vprs
only c26. befoar the election, we always
took in betwixt c27 and c30. we
have had to patch up the wind-holder
in the organ twice since november the
8: we 'did not have to patch it a
single time befoar the catastrophe.
..grass has alreddy started to growing
on main street and the worst is
yet to come, the clock -in the citty
hall fjuit striking-while the votes were
being counted, the republicans predicted
that the^rail roads would go into
the hands of the receivers if things
didn't go their way, and the dimmercrats
-said Jhe same thing, but we
still have 2 trains a week, both cnjpty,
as usual.
. . we expected a terrible change, bj.it
noboddy ever thought that milk
woulddent "turn" after the election,
why, folks, we ain't hud nothing but
sweet milk sin<e it took place and we
had to buy that from a republican
coW. the sparrow* have <juit chirping

Lee's Bodyguard
j Dies at Great Age
j Norfolk, V?, Nov. 11.?William
Mack U? ha* tdld to hi* la*t circle
of - interested li?ten?r? atorie* of
"Mar**" Robert E. Lee, the southland's
chieftain in the War Between
'the State*.
For William Mack Lee is dead.
After a life that began in Westmoreland
county, and carried him
through the War Between the States
a* cook and body servant to General
Lee, and later led him into the ministry,
William Mack, a soldier to the
end, "laid down hi* weary load," last
Sunday. He was year* old. Funeral
service* will be conducted ne<l
Sunday.
A bequest of $360, willed by General
Lee to hi* faithful servant, enabled
the negro to fulfill a long felt
ambition. He went to Washington,
qualified himself for the ministry,
and then began his 60-year battle
against the devil and his allies.
First there was a charge in Washington
where he built up the mem- <
her.ship of the Third Baptist church
from 20 to 508, and later a charge
at Catonsville, Md., then he returned
again to the Virginia that he loved
to complete his 'ministry. He was
nearly 70 years old when he toured
Virginia, North and South Carolina
on a crusade to raise $p,000 to build
u missionary Baptist church in Norfolk
county.
His sight grew dim, his feet faltered,
but William Mack held stead*
fast to his course, blending his stories
from the j>Good Book" with eulogies
of Robert E. Ix*o. c
Then after months of illness when
he sejdom wn%able to leave his little
home here, William Mack Lee quietly
ended his ministry. He left hehind
him the church which he had
built, a little pamphlet published in
praise of Marse Robert, and the
friendship not only of members of
his race but a wide circle of friends
among the "white folks."
Byrnes Calls Halt
I On Appointments
Spartanburg, Nov. 20.?Se n a t yv
Jam?-> 1". Byrne.-, (I)., S. an-j
rmunced today he would a.-k the first ,
j democratic senate caucus at the De-.
r emix r session of congress to agree
not to confirm :iny recti?? appointments
made by President Hoover.
.Senator Byrnes said these included j
several appointments to the home j
loan bhnk board, the tariff commission
and other bodies..
"President-elect Roosevelt should
haw the privilege of appointing per- !
- >n- to serve in his administration \
and <in whom he will depend for the ,
succy*.- of his administration," Byrnes
said.
Local appointments, such as postmasters,
would be'included in the ban,
under the junior South Carolina senator's
plan, although he said he particularly
had in mind offices of national
scope. There are about 25 appointments
of the latter class to go
before'the senate in December, he explained.
? Thr. plant ,.f the Ford Motor company.
at Cork. Ireland, where tractors"
are built, has been closed for an indefinite
period.
5.. Don't let your creditors knowthat
you have money a-plenty for
every purpose in the world except
paying debts; they might think hard
of your wife.
ft.. Don't cuss every time you are
stopped by a useless traffic light.
Your city had to spend your tax money
some way, and traffic lights were
cheaper by the dozen.
7.. Don't count your chickens during
the depression until they are
large enough to fry. Every cackle
ain't an egg any more.
K Don't depend on government relief
or the other fellow. Every tub
must sit on its own bottom now-adays,
and if it has no bottom, put it
or. ar.d wear it.
'. ..Don't imagine that the United
States is all right just because we
:i re better off than Europe. Pa's
rheumatism didn't feel any bettor
when Ma was so low with typhoid
fever.
10.. Don't get it into your head
that government aid stopped the
banks from busting. Nearly all of
them had already busted when the
Uncle Sam found out how to save
them.
11.. Don't trust the man you elected
to office to reduce your tax burdens.
He will need your hel}* if anything
i* done. Politician* are always
running for office, and not worrying
about how you aro getting
along. Vote bad men out.

Foul Play Said To
Be Cause of Death
Lake City, Nor. 12.?The body of
Ben Gray, 92, bearing evidence that
he bad been the victim of foul play,
wu found in a swamp about a quarter
of a mile from here tonight after
he had been missing from hie home
for almost 36 hours. A searching
party found the body hidden in the
underbrush, a knife gash on the face
and a wound, apparently from some
blunt instrument, on the head.
Mr. Gray, father of six young children,
had been in the iee business
here for a- number of years. He was
last seen*alive when he left his home
to return to work yesterday afternoon
about 1 p. m., after having
lunched with his family. When be
did not show up at his office an effort
to locate him was begun and continued
until the body was found
about 9 o'clock tonight.
Searchers reported that from the
condition of the ground, the bushes
at the spot and the man's clothing it
was indicated that he had been slain
elsewhere and the body dragged to
the swamp and hidden.
Coroner Thomas J. Wallace was notified
and with Deputy Sheriff McIauren
Burch of Florence and a jury
of inquest investigated the scene.
After viewing the spot and the body
the jujry adjourned until Tuesday.
Dr.-J. D. Eady, county physician,
conducted the autopsy and advanced
the opinion that death had been
caused by a blow on the head, which
I caused concussion of the brain. Authorities
late tonight were following
j various leads in search of clues but
| had not announced any suspects.
Mr. Gray is survived by his widow
and six children, all of Lake City.

Get Up Nights?
Make this 25c Test
Physic the bladder as you would
the bowels. Drive out impurities and
excessive acids that cause irritation,
burning and frequent desire. Get a
25c test box of BU-KETS, the bladder
physic, from any drug store.
After four days if you are not relieved
of getting up night go back
and get your money. BU-KETS, containing
buchu leaves, juniper oil, etc.,
acts pleasantly and effectively on the
bladder similar to castor oil on the
bowels. If you are bothered with
backache, or leg ffcina caused from
bladder disorders you are bound to
feel better after this cleansing and
you get your regular sleep. DeKalb
Pharmacy and DePasa' Drug' Store
says BU-KETS is a best seller.

Large Cover Crops |
Planted in County
Mr. Henry D. Green, Kershaw!
County'* wide-awake and energetic I
farm agent, ha* received the follow-1
ing letter from Mr. R. 11. Carr, JKorage
Agent Sandhill Experiment Sta-1
lion, Columbia, S. C.:
"I wm glad receive your letter!
tating that your county ha* planted I
25 ton* or oyer $2,000.00 worth of I
Auatrian winter pea* and Vetch. It I
ia impoaaible for us to aaecertain]
the full benefit derived from a goodj
crop of winter legumes by the sue-1
cceding crop. Kershaw County may I
be one of the poorest in the state but I
it ia indeed wise in accepting such a!
wonderful soil building program as!
you , are putting " across. As Mr. J
Guion said, when-all the farmers in-1
elude legumes, both summer and win-1
tex in their cropping plans then and!
Only then will the red figures on
their books turn black.
I am listing a few benefits of winter
legumes:
p I
1. By feeding upon the ;unused!
fertiliser, nitrogen, phosphorous and
potash, applied to the preceeding crop I
in a commericial form the leaching or
waste of them is reduced.
2.- The incorporation of'this intol
the stems and leaves of the legumes!
makes it available for the succeeding I
crop.
3. Nitrogen of the air, which is in 1
a form unavailable to non-leguminous
plants, is changed into a form which!
these crops can use and is held in J
readiness for them.
4. Upon being plowed down all of I
the stored plant food is made avail-1
able for the cash crop when it is j
most needed. ' o f
5. Green manures also store and
hold the surplus moisture of the win-1
ter and early spring for the summerl
crops to use during the dry spells
July and August.
6. They improve the physical conditoin
of the soil.
7. They check the erosion or land
wash.
8. Commericial fertilizers are at
a disadvantage when compared to the
benefit derived from winter cover
crops:
a. They supply only the immediate
needs of the plant for food, and this
is conditional to climatic and soil conditions.
Surplus moisture makes the
plant food readily available and in
abundant quantities often to an excess
of the plants ability, to use it
thus is leached out. During drouth
the plants suffer for both food and
Water.
b. Commercial fertilizers, when
unused by the cash crops,'' Heach during
the winter and early spring.
c. They do not assist the plant to
use the abundant* nitrogen of the air.
d. They do not balance in any way
the irregularity of the , supply of
moisture.
Of course it is understood and up.
preciated that we must supplement to
some extent with commercial ferth
Users but a dollar invested in this
way is far more efficient and advantageously
used if accompanied by
one used to purchase legumes for a
cover crop."
