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.

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.
Munn killed Holley over a debt
which Munn alleged Holley owed to
his son.?Lancaster News.
