bamt sir:
I i hereby withdraw my applencation
to aell beer in flat rook, but pk?? put
Ce down for the rights to make and
I ? grMi distribute'pretzells. when it
Eot out that i was planning to sell
beer the w. t. c? u. got up a pertition
to run me out of town, so i have
changed to pretzells. (p. a. i under- j
stood that you hafter eat (pretzells
with it so's you will think it is rail
l{K(r by law.)
I the pasture of my church, rehober,
lalbo sent mo word that i could not |
bo a deacon and sell beer, and that,
if i done so over his protest that he (
would have me excommunicated from
the church and turned out, so kindly
tear up my letter asking to repper-j
sent beer in my town, as i Can't afford
to be dismissed aosoforth.
' j will sell pretzells as followers:,
pretzells with 2 holes in same ?101
perdoz; ditto with 4 holes, cl6; ditto
with freckles on same, ?20; brown'
or yellow without warts, c25; hart-;
shaped with white warts and dubble
twisted ends, c30. i will deliver to
beer sellers ever morning and will
take 2 bottles of beer as a down pay
nient on ever dozen.
I i think you should ask congress to
make her beer a little bit stronger
than 3.2. as a man from up north
who id ways made beer says that it
will take a whole kag to. make a
man drunk enough not to know how
to change a dollar, while they are
making beer they should make beer
Bonner count of the people do not want
to pay monney for-vlop nnsoforth. i
my pretzells will be cappy .righted
B and garranteed to make a man want
some more beer, they will be so dry
B that they will crumble up in watter
and will make a fuss like an e^gg

B zell rights and i will peddle them as
needed in my 'beef waggin and wont
hftvo to pay no Hcervts to sell same.

B - -Some folks contend that 3 pdint 2
I beer won't make a man dizzy in the
B uPI>er story. But if you wfll. drjrik
I 10 bottles of this joy fluid in 20 min
utes and let your yvife bust you over
I the head with the eleventh bottle
I you'll get the dizziness that you
| might bo craving:.
|-. .This 3.2 beer will possibly prove
a teaser of merit ami will enable a
l fellow to cut <!own at least 2 or 8
jdriifks a day on his bootleg:. Old
| style beer would Tnake a begging
pauper offer to loan money after the
fifth mug or stein, and 8 'bottles would
cause a man to slap his wife, kick
[ the cat, spank his younguns and chase
his mither-in-law out the back door.
.. I have been hearing so much about
personal liberty and state rights, etc.,
here of late, I took a small census
last week and endeavore<! to find out
who wanted beer and who ought to
have it. Our school teachers and
preachers don't seem to care for the
return of beer, and none of tho doctors
claimed that beer would cure
anybody of anything except a surplus
of cash.
..My department store manager
didn't want his clerks to drink beer
while on duty or off and the help said
they didn't want it anyway. The
cotton mill bosses insisted that they
could not work a person who had
drunk so much beer that he or she
couldn't tie a knot or stop a loom,
and the operatives said they didn't
care anything about beer and if it
came back they would not be able to
buy beer and tobacco both.
..Lots of folks will want to wallow
in beer and it is in prdler for 'beer
gardens to erect wallowing troughs
for such customers. The cost of beer
to the customer per pint will be made
up of the following items, to wit:
Federal tax T.. 6 cents,
State tax 3 cents,
County tax 2 cents,
City tax 2 cents-,
School district tax 2 cents,
Foam 1 cent,
Beer 1 cent,
Fines 1 cent.
..Well, it had to come. Folks are
getting d>runk every day without paying
taxes on the said drinks. Now
Uncle Sam will enjoy each and every
wobbly person, and he might not
have to .pay out that $600,-000,000.00
for the weak attempt to enforce prohibition,
and it looks sortre like enforcement
officers will have to work
for a living after 'beer and wine both
get into every neighborhood. But
not all enforcement offioers have retired
tor live in luxury. y

tracted IIIbms.
A fooling of unusual sadness
spread throughout the community
Monday afternoon when it became
known that Dr. I. H. Hayes had passed,
away about two o'clock, following
an extended illness, which for several
weeks had confined him to his home
and more recently to his bed. "Kershaw
h?s lost her best citizen," was
the remark more frequently heard as
the information came to tho citizens
that their fellow-townsman would be j
with them no moHe in this life. Funeral
services were held Tuesday after- '
noon at 4 o'clock, at the Presbyterian
church, conducted by the, pastor, Rov.
C. M. Brown, and the following visiting
Presbyterian ministers: Dr. F.
W. Gregg, of Rock Hill; Dr. J. T.
Dendy, of Grover, N. <?., a former
pastor of the Kershaw church; Rev.
S. F. Drenwin, of Heath Springs and
Liberty Hill; and Rev. A. 1). Me Arm
of Camden. At tho conclusion of the
sorvice of scripture readings, prayers:
and hymns, interment followed immediately
afterwards at the Kershaw
cemetery with 'brief Scripture reading
and prayer. The* assemblage, both
at the church and the cemetery and
the numerous beautiful floral offerings
attested in full measure the
high esteem in which Dr. Hayes was
held by all in the community.
Tho active pallbearers were: William
Lowry, B. D. McDonald, B. J.
Truesdale, Charles E. Melvin
S. Truesdale, J. Frank CTyburn.
Honorary pallbearers: Dr. C. O.

Dr. W. B. Turner, Dr. S. J. Blackmon,
B. C. Baker, Dr. W. C. McDowell,
N. iS. Richards, R. C. Lake.
Dr. Hayes was born in Moore county,
N. C., DecenVber 19, 1859, the son
of Dr. William A. Hayes and Mary
Chalmers Roberts. He came to Kershaw
early in the year 1893 to enter
the store of Heath, Springs & McDonald,
At the instance of the junior
member of the firm, W. H. McDonald,
of the same state. A little later
in the same year he was married to
Miss Etta Munohlson, also of North
Carolina, and she with the following
children Survive: Miss Mary M.
Hayes,'Whitmire; 'Mrs. J. Gardiner
Richards, Camden; *W. M. Hayes,
Kershaw; R. H. Hayes, St. Louis,
Mo. Two grandsons, Robert McKain
Richards and John Gardmer Richars,
4th, sons of Mrs. J. Gardiner
Richards.
Other surviving relatives are, one
brother, J. N. Hayes, Hernando',
Miss; and three sisters: Mrs. John
R. Jones, iSanford, N. C.; Mrs. Mary
Barber, Pittsboro, N. 'C.? and Mrs.
J. E. W. Haile, Rock Hilt
Those from out of town who were
present were the foregoing sister?
and the following nieces and neph-.
ews; <
F Mrs. Robert Mclver, Saniord, N.
C.; Wade Bahber, Pittsiboro; Harvey
Jones, ISanford, N. C.; Reverend A.
Wi Shaw and Mra\9haw, Fort Mill.
Others present to attend the funeral
were: Mrs. G. L- Merrell, . Guli,
N. CL; Misa Anna MuwsbUon and G.
L. Murchison, Rddk Hill. Also a very
large number <rf friends from Rook
Hill, Lancaster, Heath -Spring*,
Liberty Hill, 6kmden and other
places.
Dr. Btayes later formed a copartnership
in the drug business with the
late L. F. Stratton and they xxperatod
it at the same stand now occupied by
the Hayes Pharmacy. Later, however
Dr. L. T. Gregory purchased the interest
of Mr. iStratton and the business
was operated from that time as
the Hayes & Gregory Drug Store,
until a few years ago Dr. Gregory
sold his interest to Dr. Hayes, who
changed the name to that under
which it yet continues.
No other man has been more highly
respected in this community and- no
other one has been more deservedly
worthy of tho confidence and goodwill
of -his fellowmen. He was a loyal and
consistent member of the Presbyterian
church" one of the elders and an
active Christian worker in the church
and community life. He never eought
position, but was chosen in the past
to serve his town as one of its officials
and served it faitWuHy. He always
had a cheerful "greeting and good
-^ord for everyone and met them with
a/most engaging smile calculated to
win their confidence and friendship
in the degree that so far as is known
ho had the ill-feelmg of no one, and
all, old and young, white and colored,
in all stations of life in the community7
unhesitatingly unite in the firm
belief that the town has lost a most
valuable asset and that truly, a good
man has gone to his righteous reward?Kerahaw
Era. ?

Plant a Garden For
Well Balanced Diet
"Grow your own feed -Save by living
at home" should be the slogan of
every farm family In Kershaw county.
We are bold that a half acre garden
can be made to furnish practically
all the vegetables needed by a
family o?f five throughout the sum over
with plenty left over to can and store
for winter use.
All the seeds should not be planted
at one time but there should he a succession
of plantings, every IB to 20
days to insure a long season of food
supply.
* To get the most out of your garden,
koop the land working every
minute of the growing season. As
soon as one crop matures plant another.
Make two planting* of carrots
and beets*-?the first one for ihe
spring ami summer use and the lute
plantings for storage. The boot tops
are a good leafy vegetable. When
you thin the beets the small tender
young plants are excellent beet
greens.
The great importance of the garden
lies in the fact that it furnishes
protective foods. A one-sided diet is
almost certain to cause illness* and
malnutrition, therefore a good garden
is a 'protection to the family
health. Bc^in to use tho vegetable?
as soon as bhey are large enough,
^lere are a ferw rocipes from the U.
S. Bureau of Homo Economics that
you may find helpful:
* .Spring onions on toast?Allow six
seven finger-sized onions for each
serving. Trim ofT the green tops,
cook the onions until tender in lightly
salted boiling water in an uncovered
vessel. This will take about 20
minutes for fresh, young onions.
When they have cooked tender, drain,
add more salt if needed, and season
with melted butter. In the meantime
toast slices of bread. Arrange
the onions in the same way as asparagus
on toast and serve at once.
Spinach?Carefufly pick over the
spinach, discard wilted leaves, cut
off the stem ends, and wash in several
waters to remove grit. If the
spinach is young and' tender it can
be cooked in the water that clings
tn the leaves. .Start cooking at a
moderate heat,, cover the kettle at
first, turn the spinach now and then
until thoroughly wilted, then remove
cover and stir frequently. Cook about
ten to fifteen -minutes, chop fine, season
with pepper, talt and (butter or
ot%r fat and serve. Spinach cooked
in this way will retain its attractive
green color and fresh flavor. The
spinach may be seasoned with crisp
salt pork or bacon and may be garnished
with hard-cooked egg.
Wilted Garden Lettuce?Wash and
drain lettuce thoroughly- Fry diced
salt -pork or strips of bacon until
cripp. Pour the fat and the crisp
pieces over the lettuce, which has
been placed in a hot vegetable- dish.
Serve at once with slices of hardcooked
egg over the top if desired,
and a little viegar or lemon juice for
added seasoning. Fresh tender musI
tard or turnip leaves may be combined
with the lettuce leaves, also diced
young onions..

WHAT IS HAPPENIW? 1
TO YOU? !
*v,
i
T F you Are one of those who are trying to
get along without telephone service, a number
of things are tikely happening that may directly
influence the welfare of yourself and family.
Friends are probably saying, "I wish Gertrude
had a telephone. I'd like to invite them, too."
Or, if there are children in the home, they no 1
doubt feel severely the difficulty they have in
developing and keeping friendships. s' ,
Civing without the quick, convenient means
of communication that ji telephone in the home
provides often results in loss of many friendly
social contacts that play such an important part
in happy "everyday living. Being without *
telephone also deprives you of the means of
quick contact with the doctor, tl\e police or the
fire department in emergencies. In short, the
home without a telephone today is isolated. ,
Ask any telephone employe to explain the 1
party line and other classes of service, or call
the telephone office for information. t
