presents as soon as he 'got out of

. .cousin Jerry sent me the tie that

' glad to get it back, i did not send

.. ' out the tie he sent mo last chrismus,
so i am ahead after all, we had a
small fried pullet for dinner today
instead of a big turkey gobbler as of

..back yonder in the OP's, we had
0 different kind of chrismuMC? to what
, we havO' now. noboduy thought of
trying to be happy without at least
a galled of corn or rye, and we had
egg nogs and ginger stew anaoforth.
our*younguns always got horhs and
moutb,-organs which they blowed for
rever and dever, till they wore out
the next,. <h*y.
..onner count of the depression a
great manny of our hoys and girls
were not able to get holt to a stocking
to hang up, so they set a chair
where old sandy claws could leave
annything that he had to-spare, which
^as not so hot from what i can hear,
but some of them got apples.
,.i will he glad to tell old 19 and 112
good-bye. she hassent benn pio to
manny of us, and wo will feel hotter
when wo start off in a new. i diddent
lose annything in stocks and
bonds, but my cow went from 75$ on
foot to 15$ at the market when her
mortgage come due....all of which
took place in only a year or so.
..my hoss nrui beef waggin was rated
at 200$ in 30 and 20, but now if i
waster turn them out in the big road
noboddy wouldnent think enough of
them to drive them homo for their

SPEECH MADE BY GEE McGEE
AT THE POOR HOUSE LAST
NIGHT
Ladies. Gentlemen and Fellow Bankrupts:
It is a great pleasure to be here
tonight; it heats being home a right
smart, and I feel sure that you nro
happy to have me as your principle
speaker (Applause).
My subject this evening is "What's
What and Who Caused It." Wo are
bounded on the north, east, south and
west by a depression, and it looks
like it will wind up in a panic before
it is over with.
Housewives, do you know that the
railroad companies charge more for
hauling a bushel of wheat ISO miles
than the farmer gets for growing it?
Do you realize that a Minnesota potato
grower is paid 30 cents a hundred
for his 'potatoes and railroads
get 89 cents a hundred for hauling
them down here for us to eat instead
* of growing some ourselves?
Men. hnve you ever thought that
it still costs you 2 days work in fl
cotton mill to talk to a friend ovei
the telephone 300 miles away, nni
then you must not talk hut 3 minutes
which means that you can't afford t<
tc.lk ! > \\i>men at nil, as it would cos1
you a month's salary?
Says Negro Boys'
4-H Clubs Do Well
Clemson College, Dec. 84.?Despite
the depression the nfcgro 4-H club
bo ye of the eUte made noteworthy
progress in 1982 with an enlarged
enrollment over 1931, a greater diversification
of farming activities, and
some money profit on their enterprises,
not to mention the training
received, says Dan Lewis, acting
state boys' club agent. There was
nearly4 12 <pcr cent increase in number,
and the varioty of activities included
work with cotton, corn, potatoes,
peanuts, peas, gardens, orchards,
melons, hogs, calves and
poultry.
"Out of 1341 negro 4-H demonstrations
started in 1932 by 1204 club
members 1011 reports havo been
made, as compared with 1189 entered
and 849 completed in 1931^' Mr.
Lewis continues. 4,At/ total value of
$19,?21.'00 with a profit of $8,281.7.3
is shown in 1932.
"These boys grew about 800 acres
of crops at a cost of $9,317.34 with a
profit of $0,804.93. They grew $3,139.33
worth of livestock at a profit
of $1,217.80. They averaged approximately
30 bushels ^>f cb,rn on B28
acres with a total production of 10,220
bushels. On 174Ms acres of cotton
they produced 152,065 pounds of
seed cotton yielding 56,132 pounds of
lint. On their corn they made an
average profit of $7.88 per acre,
while on the cotton their average profit
was $11.05 per aero."
The International Typographic with
headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind., ro!
ports that the printers of the country
i by a vote of 32,000 to 18,000 have de;
dared thbmselves as favoring the five
i day week.
Thieves stole a pistol from the roll
call room of the Birmingham, Ala.,
j police headquarters and then added
insult to injury by stealing 25 gallons
of seized liquor from the adjoining
store room.
Frank Loranz, convicted on a liquor
charge, will serve ten days in jail and
I then go home to mind his children for
a like period, while his wife, convicted
on the same charge, serves her ten
days in jail.
Passenger travel on the railroads
heavy during the pre-holiday season
that 2,000 extra Pullman cars have
been brought into service.
Children, did you ever stop to think
that your sister draws more money as
a she-nographer in a politician's office
for one month's work than your
daddy and five boys get for working
12 whole months on the farm? Well,
she do.
Fellow Citizens, do you realize that
your land is assessed for taxes more
per acre than you can got for it and
that you buy your own land back every
8 years if you pay your taxes at
all? Do you know that it takes 69
bales of strict middling cotton to pay
a speed cop for 12 months?
Babies, have you ever thought that
it takes a bushel of corn and a gallon
of molasses for you to get a 05c meal
in a 2-dollar-a-day hotel tea-room?
Well, it do. Grandpas, are you sitting
around these days whittling and
believing down in your heart that
i over 15 per cent of our politicians
give a darn about you having yoqr
house and lot s-old for taxes ? What
? they wantr? is money to spend, use
and waste.
i Breth-ren and sister-ren, do you
' over stop to think that you are en?
dorsers on all of those war debt notes
over-seas? Well, darlings, you are.
If Europe fails to pay those debts,
why, you and I will have to pay them.
i About 99 per cent of all our troubles
is debt. This refers to individual,
I personal, state, county, school district,
city, town, government, church,
and Sabbath school debts. Times will
, be better when people can go to work
i and make some money to spend, hut
times can't get any better till some
1 money is spent, so's people can go
,1 back to work. Which came first, the
>'hen or the egg? Answer: The rooster.

Consider Livestock
in Severe Weather
Clemson College, Dec. 2-1.?"With'
the recent snow and sleet giving us a
taste pf what the northern farmers
frequently have to contend with in
the care and management of livestock,
we are face to face with con-;
sideration of the difficult problem of
providing feed, water and bedding
during disagreeable weather," says
Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the ani-.
mal husbandry division who repeats
that hogs, sheep, horses, mules and
beef cattle all need shelter during
such times.
"Beef cattle will doubtless weather
the storms better than the other
classes of livestock, but it is out of
the question to expect sheep and hogs
to withstand the roughest weather
without shelter," he continues. "A
shelter in this climate does not mean
a closed barn and closed sheds such
as must be provided in northern
areas. But our sheds should be
closed on three sides and should have
a roof that will not leak. And when
cold weather comes, bedding should
be supplied?the colder the weather
the more bedding necessary. # The
straws afford the most popular bedding,
but pine needles and other
leaves are good.
"During cold, bad weather livestock
frequently do not get sufficient
water. This results in poor gains
and in many easel losses.
"Poor care during cold, stormy
weather gives disease a chance to
get a foothold. This is particularly
true of influenza and pneumonia.
"It is true that a little more effort
is required to care for the livestock
during disagreeable weather,
but the owner is more than repaid
in knowing that the animals are comfortable
and that excessive losses are
prevented and greater profits assured."
