The doytor says that is the reason I can't hear goAd. Ho intimated that thoro was something wrong with my ears; he's : possibly right. It's bad not to be able to absorb conversation. A pre? ! ty girl whispered something in my best Oar yestorday. I am still wondering what she said, ' , .1 never indulge in talk in u crowd. I don't even try to do much listen* ing. It doesn't pay to hear just about half what folks are saying. So I just eat right on and think. It ain't any troublo to bo serious if noises don't bother you. I always laugh when the rest of The bunch laughs: I do that so's they won't know how deef I am. Most of them think, I heard their cheap jokes. <.Y .mm ..Once I was at a big dinner,. Everybody was talking and I thought it was my duty AP talk too. ' I found out in a few minutes that my wires wero crossed. They wero discussing the sad and sudden death of a very dear friend, but I was talking about a dog light that took place the previous evening in front of my office. 1 knew something was wrong when my wife frowned ut me: I thought at firHt that mebbo I had spilt some gravy on my vest, but 1 was wrong: it wus the dog light she wanted stopped. . .1 can hear perfectly over the phono pr while riding in an airplane or on .the train or in a fussy Ford: that's fimny, but it's so. I caught myself drifting deafward about 10 years ago ...?after "wrestling" 4 weeks with the'llu. I Jbegan to spend my money on ea.r specialists. (>no fellow cut about 2 pounds of hones out of my nose with a cold chisel for $200.00. Another blew my eustachian (?) tubes open a dozen times with a pump for $75.00, but the more I paid* the less I heard. ..After deciding that deafness could not be cured (but it might be prevented), I begun to scout around for Hearing devices. I first poked some little rubber contraptions into my ears. .. .ear-drums, he called , them. It took 3 plumbers and 1 blacksmiths to get those darned tilings out of my auditory organs. And "Hip" went my $10.00. I tried other similar things without favorable result and then I bought a horn. It worked all right till the milkman poured a quart of milk into it one morning while I was trying to hear what he said about his cows. . . I don't need very much help to hear, even If whftt 1 have said might make you think so. My wife says I'm fine at hearing skirts ripple and dollar-bills*rattle and feminine voices. My stenographer has talked so long and so loud to me she ain't fit to stay in the house with her own husband, she hollers so loud at him....but I have an electric device that does the trick for me while at preaching, Sabbath school, funerals, speakeasies, prayer-meetings and night clubs, so don't send me any trumpets right now.

' * Extracts From Agent's Report " - ? .V/ The following paragraphs ar?r extracts from the report of Miss Sudie B. Craig, home demonstration agent for Kersha^-eounty: During the past year home derainatration clubs have increased from 9 with a membership of 2 .to 17 with a membership of 420?the largest increase of any county in the state. 328 of the 420 club women had year-round gardens, and 288 of this number served balanced meals throughout the year. 46 of these women entered the garden contest and learned to grow and eat at least 3 newvvegetables. 352 of the 420 club members have done some beautiiication work. 7 churches and 4 schools have been landscaped. 42 members entered the exterior boautifieation contest. The '..club women raised 31,352 chicks during the past year. 102 wanton culled their flocks systematically and made a profit from their, poultry. In furnishing ready money for the farm woman, poultry led. The 420 club women sold $11,874.32 worth of poultry. The renovation of. hats and clothing meant u real saving in dollars ana cents. 13 all-day meetings were held and 265 hats and 132 dresses were renovated. 302 women were present at these meetings. Home management was the major project for the women's clubs.' As a result of this project 23 tfew kitchen cabinets have been made or bought, 27 women have put castors on their kitchen work tables.

During the past year the agent gave 248 demonstrations to 4,600 people. 68 other meetings were held with 4,077 people present. Message Is Left By Wild Goose A wild goose killed on the Saluda river Friday by Frank Burnett, of Ninety-lSix, brought a message from Jack Minor, of Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, and along with it a Scriptural quotation, evidently intendod for the person who captured or killed the bjrd. Mr. Burnett found when he picked up the goose that Minor's name and address were inscribed on a band on its leg together with the following verse: "No good thing will He withhold from them that walketh uprightly."?Index-Journal, 20th. ?The Methodist churches of the Upper South Carolina conferences made a net gain in membership during the last year'of 1,785, with a net gain of 2,041 in Sunday school enrollment. The total Methodist membership in this portion of the state is 80,37-t. and the Sunday school enrollment totals 59.843. about threefourths of the church membership, the ratio of Sunday school students to church membership bring nbwve the average. A wild gook:!]ed (in the Saluda river near Ninety-Six. carried a band on its leg inscribed with greetings from Jack Minor, of Kingsiille, On-1 tario. and a verso of Scripture. Neither the South Carolina, nor the^ Upper South Carolina, conference of the Methodist church received this month, at their annual meetings, a single invitation from churches or towns for the conference next year. Each conference appointed a committee to find a place to meet in 1933. Formerly there was always a big contest to get the next meeting of the conferences, between a number of places. Gambling joints at Reno, Nov., a year ago were in full bloom and going strong. Now they have all but played out. Stakes are now so small as to hardly make it worthwhile to keep the places open. 'H1 -t.-. . War Declared On Chain Stores Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 26.?Th? American Federation of I*abor coajVenlion today instructed its officer# to immediately make plane to unionize all employes of chajn stores. The action, the first taken by the convention in shaping its policies for the coming year, followed a report by the committee on organization, headed by Michael Duffy of Indianapolis. Sponsored by the Amalgamated Moat Cutters and Butcher Workers of North Amorica, and a delegation from the Hod Carriers and Common Laborers' Union, tho resolution said the "laboring classes derive no benefit," from what it called "mammoth organization" of chain stores, and asserted belief that the current economic depression was in part the result of growth of such combinations. The federation also expressed approval of proposals thut laundry and hotel workers be drawn into labor unions, and urged all its affiliates to refuse to meet in hotels whose employes are not members of a union* Mothers See Sons Elected President ' .. .. - .. L New York, Nov. 17.?-Franklin Delano Roosevelt's npother, Mrs. James Roosevelt, is the eighth woman to see her son olected prosident of the United States. A search through biographical records, genealogies, old wills and tombstone photographs, has disclosed that gray-haired,/TJUyear-old Mrs. Roose| velt shares the honor with seven j others. j The mother of George Washington i lived until four months after her il| lustrious son's inauguration. She I was 82 when she died. Mrs. Susan Adams died at the ago j of 83, six weeks after her son, John, I became the second president of the United States. Mrs. Nelly Madison, who came with; in two years of being a centenarian, lived 20 years after her son, James, became president, but outlived him. Mrs. Harriet Grant lived for 14 j years after her son went off to the White House, and she died just two years before he did. o When James A. Garfield was inaugurated, he paused during the ceremony to embrace?his aged mother, who sat on the platform beside him. One of the prized pictures in historical museums is that of Mrs. Nancy McKinley sitting under a parasol at the inauguration of her son, William. Dorr Simmons, engineer at radio station KTBS, Shreveport, La., was ! electrocuted Wednesday night when he came in contact with a section of the transmitter carrying 5,200 volts. A three-day deer drive was inaugurated this week on the 150,000 acre national forest preserve in Alabama by 250 hunters. Only one deer is allowed to each hunter.

C., November 17, 1932. # - ^? - - ? v SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS Thfe reorganized Republicans in South Carolina, under the leadership of Mr. Hambright, who wrested the party orginization from Old Man tae Tdlbert, made a show that is the laugh of the country. The joke is on what The Charleston Post calls "these former North Carolina lumberjacks," who are accused of "trading," predicting that hereafter, in dickering for delegates to the National Convention, they will prefer to deal with an old and experienced trader like Joe Tolbert, a gentleman who is now enjoying his laugh on the Hambrighters. Under Ilambright, the yield of Hoover votes appears to have been about one-and-a-half to the precinct?and was ever a presidential Candidate ragged like that in any State? The i Post is sure Old Joe could have done better than that. It declares that the showing by the "new" Republican order in South Carolina is among the most complete flops of^the election. Such a mighty noiso and such a show of serious purpose and even such an unusual glimpse of money from obscure outside sources, gave an appearance of reality to the movement of the Hambright committee toward the oft-attempted organization. T)f a Republican party, self-sustaining and almost respectable, in -South * Carolina. So much so, in fact, thqt more Democrats got out and voted than had done that at a general election within two generations. This last, by the way, was the best part of the whole business and it ought to become a regular event. And the end of it all is that the Hambright crowd brought out about the smallest Republican vote in the State that has been planked on the Republican pie-counter in many a long year, in payment or establishment of credit for goods received or to be delivered. In the case of the Ham \ " 1 -J jbrighters it was. payment after the goods had been almost worn out, because the offices -were distributed in advance, but there seems to have been considerable of short-changing by the purchasers.?Charlotte Observer. Ruth Bryan Owen To Vote For Beer Bill San Wrancisco, Nov. 2^o-Repre> sentativf Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida, daughter of the late William Jennings Bryan and long a supporter of prohibition, announced today 'she would vote for the legalization of beer at the "lame duck" session of I congress.

I shall vote for the restoration of beer if and when such a bill is presented at the December session of congress." Andrew Salter was given a verdict this week for (MOO damages at Spar tanburg, because alleged jokers pouted gasoline on his shoes and set it afire last September. v The man who did it admitted the act and'said it was stove polish, and he had done the same thing to others previously, just in fun.
