I AM IMMUNK FROM HARD TIM IB . .Don't talk to me about hard times. I waa born and raised 8 miles from a railroad, 3 miles from a river, 6 miles from a school house, 9 miles from a church, 885 miles from New York, 200 yards from a wash-hole, 16 feet from a cornfield, and 8,507 miles from Hongkong. ..Our nearest neighbors lived 2 miles away and they couldn't road and write either. I never saw a suit of underwear till I was 17 years old and that revelation didn't belong to anybody in our family. The only book in the house during my early childhood was a Bible and an old catalog that,somebody sent us. . .There \wpre 12 members of our family, but you - see, we had 3 rooms to live in, including the dining-room, Which was also the kitchen. Everybody worked at our house. We thought everybody else in the world had gravy and bread for breakfast, | liver and crackling hocake for dinner ! and buttermilk and corn pono for supper.. . .'cause that's what we had .... and we liked it. .. Some of us wore bragon shoes occasionally in the winter time. We had nice white shirts for summertime use. We slept on straw ticks, and pillows were not thought of or required. I didn't know that money would rattle till I was nearly grown. Father got hold a 2 half dollars at j the same time and he let us hear them rattle. Taxes were higher then and harder to pay than now. ..We owned 2 kerosene lamps, neither of which had a chimney. Our house wasn't ceiled, but 2 of the rooms had lots in them. We had a glass window in the "company" room, j Our nicest piece of furniture wag a homemade rocking chair. Our beds i were of the slat or tight rope var-1 iety. The "trunkle-bed" took care of all of the young-uns under 5 years of age and it stayed full all the time. . .We went to school 2 or 3 months in the year, but not in a bus. We attended church once a month, but not in a car....we used a 2-mule wagon. We dressed up on Sundays ....but not in satins and silks. We neither wrote letters nor received any. we made our own lye hominy and distilled our own lye from our own ash-fhopper. We drank sassafras for, coffee. - ??.J ..We sopped our own molasses, we! i?nte our own meat. We considered irice such a delicacy.that only preach-' ! ers should eat; we had heard of cheese, but never saw any; we knew' of some store-bought clothes, but we never hoped to wear any; we got a t stick of candy and 3 raisins for Christmas and were happy; wo loved ma and pa and obeyed them....We were rarely ever sick, never, hungry, | enjoyed being naked, didn't want much, expected nothing. .. .and that's why our present so-called hardtimes ain't hard to me. Congressman McMillan is out in a long and strong attack on the Claud Sapp plan to distribute patronage and federal appointments in South Carolina. The congressman from the first district says ha .will not be a party even by implication to any scheme where an applicant for appointment is expected to contribute to party support and that he has always condemned that practice by the Republican party. McMillan said he would welcome the setting up of a patronage committee in this state, but he will not work with anybody else and will either control the appointments in his district or have nothing to do with them. Washington dispatches say that if Sapp's plan goes through, South Carolina may expect a senatorial investigation in the state in short order. Republican senators will welcome the opportunity to repay the Democrats for sending a senate committee in the south a few years ago to investigate charges that Republican leaders were guilty of selling jobs. I The Chamber of Commerce of Clarksdale, Miss., on Tuesday issued $37,000 in scrip in denominations of 25 cents, 50 cents, $1, $6 and $10.

I Holley Brings Suit I On Insurance Policy; I*ancaster attorneys may have' tome cases in Federal court at Rock Hill this week as matters will come jp that several of the local attorneys ire interested in. Gregory and Gregory are representing John llolley who is suing the S'ew York Life Insurance Company for $5,000, claiming that their client s duo a double indemnity because of :ho fact that the plaintiff's son, Olin Lee Holley met death in a violent, accidental and external manner. Olin l.a)e Holley was killed by Jim Munn just across the line in Kershaw county last year and a $5,000 payment on the policy was made to Holley's father who was- the beneficiary. However, the policy contained' a double idemnity clause and the plaintiff is suing for $5,000. Munn was^?l>nvicted of manslaughter in connection with this killing and it will be the contention of the plaintiff that Holley was in no way to blame for the affair. The policy states that the cause must be external so that the defense will probably attempt to show that llolley was partly to blame in the matter.
