Unique Editor
Dies In Georgia
Dahlonegu, Ga,. June 14?William
Benjamin Townsend, "editor and
pro", who made n gem of hU Dahlonegu
Nuggett because he wrote what
he thought, was buried today in the
hills he would not forsake even when
fame rested on his weary old shoulders.
He was an old-fashioned editor,
who prof or red truth to grammar.
The Nugget, his little four-paged
I newspaper, was published weekly
back here in the Blue Ridge mountains,
where there are no railroads
and where a man can spill tobacco
on his shirt front and still bo
a gentleman.
Townsend was the sago of the
hills and was quoted wherever men
appreciated wit and philosophy, lie
was offered fancy prices to write for
magazines but he was always too
busy. He had not been away from the
hills in 40 years.
The last edition of The Nugget carried
this story at, the end of the last
column:
"The editor is sick."
And yesterday he felt a mite weak
us he sat before his ancient type
cases and his 7*5-year-old hand press.
Ho closed his eyes to rest. They
found him there with a type stick in
one hand and his head bowed.
The editor was dead.
Georgia mourned his death today.
There are no more like him. He never
wrote a story. He simply set in type
by hand what he thought and then
published his Nugget on the old
press. His paper was full of typographical
errors but it did not .worry
the editor and pro. He never read it
?in fact, he never pulled a proof.
"Folks know what I'm talking
about," he said. His paper circulated
throughout the United States and
copies were always at a premium.
lie was 78 and had been in the hills
70 years. , He was a printer's devil
when the government had a mint
hero. He got printer's ink on his fingers
as a boy and it stayed there until
he died.
New York subscribers were delighted
with items in The Nugget like this:
"There will be singing at Cane
Creek next Sunday by Ice Carter in
the old song books."
The South, which is a way of life,
understood his brief:
"Blackberries will soon be in, which
will enable the editor to- live pretty
cheap for awhile longer."
He used an old printer's stone and
slept in his shop.
'Some of his comments were extremely
caustic. He called a spade
a spade. If folks did not like his
paper, they did not have to read it.
He would not go to church and when
evangelists and pastors said things:
he did not like, The Nugget took |
them up. i
Two ministers, however, stood near 1
his body today and called him a great
man. Then they took him over the
hills and left him in the shadow of
the Blue Ridge.
There is a movement on among the
citizenship of Long Island to form
another state to become a part of
the Union of states and to be the
49th. The movement had its inception
out of the fact that New York
city in an endeavor to raise more
revenue has proposed additional license
taxes on automobiles equal to
the state license tax, and bridge tolls.
The senate on Tuesday night passed
the administration's $3,012,500,000
emergency appropriation 'bill and sent
it to the house for consideration of
changes made in the measure. The
bill carries money for the administration's
public works program, unemployment
service, farm credit administration
and to set up federal savings
and loan associations and to
insure bank deposits.
The Cotton Spiners Federation of
Japan has unanimously approved a
boycott against Indian raw cotton.
The action is in retaliation against a j
recent 50 per cent, increase levied by .
India against non-British cloths. As
a result of the boycott against India
cotton American coton will replace
the Indian staple, which heretofore'
has been mostly used by Jfcpan.
"Eugene Meyer, former governor of
the Federal reserve board, was the
purchaser of the Washington Post,
which was sold at auction last voek
f6r $825,000. Meyer ,a Republican,
and a very close friend of former
President Hoover, has long been
prominent in national financial affairs.
This is his first venture in the
publishing field.
FINAL DISCHARGE
Notice is hereby given that one
month from this date, on the 10th
day of July, 1933, at 11 o'clock a. m..
I will make to the Probate -Court of
Kershaw County my final return as
Administrator of the estate of Annie
M. Catoe, deceased, and on the same
date I will apply to the said Court
for a'final discharge as said Administrator.

THIS PROGRAM COMES TO ^ Ol
THRU THE COURTESY OF A
TYPEWRITER
..The greatest thing in the world
today is toothpaste. Wore it not for
toothpaste, the radio would be practically
worthless. Ten thousand tunes
and five thousand speeches about
toothpaste come to us every week
over the radio. Nothing could fill
this gap were toothpaste forgot.
..I was 24 years old before I ever
used a toothbrush for any purpose
other than that of blacking the edges
of my shoe soles j that s what I pai
my dime for the brush for. I began
brushing my teeth when I was about
30, but used soap, soda or salt for
film-removing purposes...every Sunday
morning.
..Us school children made toothbrushes
out of dog-wood sticks.
We'd chew the little green sticks till
the ends became brush-like and then
we would rub our teeth, but we di? .
so then because our gums itched, or
to get blackberry stains off, or mebbjam
stain* so's ma wouldn't kno v
who =tolo her jam out of the cuphoard.
..Now I wish you'd lo??k at my bathroom!
Each pa and each ma ar. 1
each child has his or her own toothbrush
and tooth-paste and a place to
i<eop each one of them. I Used th
one that is radioed about at 7 o'clock
P. M., daylight savings time; my
wife's toothpaste comes on at 9:30
P. M. The children use pastes that
are sung about at 6 P. M-, 7:li5 P. M.,
8:15 P. M., and 8:45 P. M.
..There are only 15,000 different
kinds of toothpaste on the market,
and every single one of them s
guaranteed to be the best. Magazines
could not exist either were it
not for toothpaste. They wouldn't
have nothing to advertise except
razor blades... .were it not for tr.e
stuff that keeps one's teeth glistening
-in the sun.
..I've often wondered what a tube
of toothpaste actually costs the man
ufacturer: I'm talking about the soap
ami emery dust (if any) that you rub
011 your teeth. 1 am sure it costs
them over 1 cent, that is, the best
ones....and all of them are like
that, but 1 realize that the radio and
the magazine advertising, plus
freight, the tube itself, and the manufacturer's
profit (?) and the retailer's
profit, with several different
kinds of taxes added, have got to be
considered.
o
..Well, another toothpaste program
j is starting. I like the singing end
I the music all right, and some day
! . .. .when I get 50 cents ahead. .. .
| I'm going to pay that much for a
; tube of this fellow^ stuff and see if
it is really any bettor than bi-car1
bonate of soda spread on a brush j
freshly dipped in flowing aqua. 1 I
am thankful for toothpaste for the
entertuinment and amusement it in-'
j directly affords as well as for the'
toothpaste itself.... which 1 .would
use. .. .if I had any teeth,
