You Odt you were butting your heads f ? against a stone wall. The Star passes on to you a phrase it saw The othoi day t<? you and to the o; hi is who will join your ranks this spring! That phrase is, Yesterday is dead! The country has been bogged down before. It is going to begin to pull out shortly, just aH it always has pull. ed out. Hut mark this. Business U not coming back just as it was before. It never does, after going through the wringer. v A lot of the old leaders and old methods have passed out. A new bunch of uggressivtvlind resourceful young fellows will come stomping up to grasp new opportunities. For Yesterday is dead! New opportunities mind you not the opportunities of the last decade. Those are gone. Jf experience is a guide, recovery will not come in orderly fashion, along the old lines. Keen men will see business. chances here and there even when things are at a low U-vel. Chances that growout of the depression w ith its changed demands. Perhaps these will lie int new products ot science, in inexpensive novelties, in hou-e. cooling, in cheap farm lands. Men who live in the past will overlook these opportunities. They will be thinking"- iff things as they were in 1921b So they will fail to see the new conditions and take advantage-of them. Hut the alert voting crowd will " jump at the new- cTTancos, develop them, build up with them u* business, builds up. Yesterday is dead. Have you heard of the flu-flu bird that flies backwards? It wants to * see where it has been. It doesn t give a darn where it is going. Don't be a tlu-flu bird. You youngsters, seize any decent job that offers. Hut keej) your eyes open. He ready for new conditions, new idea*. Your bumble jdb may have, possibilities that the old order did not reveal.

IDs farming operations included -IO.oimi acres, it is said, in one Arkansas county alone, as well ularge acreage- in other states. Well .10,000 aires planted to cotton wou.d equal that of our own county of Union the present' year? When the small farmer receives Tortus cotton less than cost of production fur his product after destroying one-fourth of his acreage, one cannot understand why one man is allowed to produce as much cotton as can several thousand one-and-tw o-horse farmers. It may be all right within the law for a man to become a hog. but it certainly is unmoral. If this Southland of ours will make it impossible for men living in towns and citiess to grow farm products, then, and not until then, may we expect supply to balance the demand. Coming nearer home, if Charlotte would not allow professional men of the city to become competitors of dairymen, the little fellows of Mecklenburg county could find a little profit in their dairy products.

I , I A UU.-XJ.t : U- ** Hoy Killing Time < Fifty Years Ago (from The Sandhill Citizen, South* ern Bines, N. C.) When the leaves took on the colors Of the rainbow, and hickory nuts and i walnuts hag an to fall and when the wild muscadines hud reached their superlative degree of ripeness, aroma and goodness, it was then that great piles of seasoned wood were dumped at the '"hog killing place " The scalding pots and .barrens were made ready and the vtones for heating the water yv.e e in pected, Then the groat ^ 'kilns" were- made wood and stones, , topes and wood live or six feet high with eight-foot log* of pine, hickory an I oak. These were started hunting late in the afternoon. When the tones were of a certain degree of yellowish-red they were pullecj from the burning pile with long wooden poles tipped with iron and rolled onto flat iron sleds, dragged to the watertilled barrels and scalding pot* nnd dumped in. By thij? means the "scalding water" was heated. "Huh! Huh!" and squeals from the fattening pen announced the beginning of the yearly slaughter, which lasted three or four, or sometimes five days, since grandfather butchered rarely less than 100 and sometimes 200 hogs in a Reason. Uncle Reuben was in command until daybreak when grandfather replaced him. I was up (with grandmother's help) by daybreak and accompanied grandfather to the then greatest event 1 had ever been part of. After a brief consultation with Uncle Keubem and a shift in the workers, and when all was again running smoothly after the "mounting of the new guard," grandfather called to Undo Reason-?"Reason, broil a pigtail for this hoy." In art incredibly short time two pigtails?crisp, brown and culling?-were brought by .Uncle Reason. "Here's do pigtails, young Marstcr! Hut you ain't got no salt. Wait cr minnit. Reason will letch you some." And in a "minnit" it was fetched for the IS by 20 foot kilcnen N?+ts <?nl-y a hundred feet away. 1 pity the country boy who has not had the supremcst joy of eating two pigtails, broiled on redhot hickory coals and eaten as the first rays of scarlet and amber and .gold announced the coming of the day's torchbearer. The aroma, "fragrance, yes, the odoriferousness of those pigtails still lingers in my nostrils and will continue to linger, though my allotted years be stretched to twice three score; and. thanks to the "tooth-doctors" to whom 1 pay frequent visits, pigtails are still in the ambrosial class with me and not difficult-of mastication, when their calcareous framework is crushed by the proper degree and duration ot high temperature in cooking. Nothing but salt should he eaten with broiled pigtails. Bread is an adulterant, and vinegar or sauces de>tro\ tin it epicurean daintiness, l-.ach part of the hog (swine, like "vitties," is a word 1 would ha\o stricken from both the dictionary and vocabularies) lias a taste or flavor characteristically its own -ham. brains, jowl, side, spai crib-, chops, tongue, ear, foot, liver, sweetbread, heart, backbone, chitu rhng. and a., dozen other parts. And then by analysis (as in making cracklilis) and by synthesis (as in making saifsage) we can run the number of distinct delicacies to beyond the proverbial .r>7 varieties. No wonder the hog has so voracious and omnivorous an appetite. It is imperative that he have a variety of raw materials to support his versatility! 1 deplore the passing of the real hog-killing time and the smokehouse. I can remember when the smokehouse wa> a> much an integral part of every farm home as the well, the woodpile or the stable. A curse will fall upon us if the garage continues to take the i hu e of the smokehouse.

T. V. Walsh, Jr., general chairman, and Arthur E. Millerr have been engaged in arranging tile 'many lino products of Kershaw county housewives and farmers and this year's exhibits are very creditable'indeed. Monday, and Tuesday the midway got into full swing and with good weather the crowds h^vo grown each day, all catching the spirit of the county fair, whole' folks meet old acquaintances and make new ones, Itunt.s Shows have some good attractions and are being well patronistul, and of course for the kiddies the everpopular merry-go-'round is getting its share of interest. On Wednesday tho Merchants' Association successfully carried out their plans to feed anyone attending the fa^T on a barbecue, deliciously cooked .and served by attractive Camden misses. Several thousand availed themselves of this invitation. At night a fireworks display was vietved by a large crowd, many beautiful designs were set oil and by the applause of those looking on, was much enjoyed. Thursday was Farmers' Day, written up in another article in this issue. Next week we 'will endeavor to describe the exhibits in detail. General News Notes The jobs of 200 office holders in the Bronx section of New York, are threatened because of the I act that most of them have turned away from support of O'Brien, the; Tammany mayoralty candidate, to John V. McKee. independent candidate for the office. Two deputy commissioner.^ have already lust their places because of their, turning to support McKee. A firm of Statesville, NT CupVcvr.tractors building a theatre at Gastonia threw up their contract there when several workers quit after complaining that they were being made to work 10 hours per day at less than the wage scale., and demanding eight hours per day. 30 cents an hour.

C., died last week and by his instructions his body was placed in a vault, built some time ago under his direction. His body*dressed only in underwear, was carried to the church covered with a sheet on a cot.

Directors of charity at Grove City, Ha., have put out the edict of "No work, no coal. tor the past three winters the relief section of the city government has been supplying coal to the needy. Recently on calling for workers to mine the coal in the diggings in Memorial park, there'were no responses by those who were to benefit from the free coal supplied, hence the above edict. Two hundred volunteers are now digging coal under direction of experienced miners. Reorganization plans for closed banks of tho country to the number of 376 and holding frozen assets to a total of $3P8,735,000, have been given approval by treasury officials.

About $100,000 worth of government cotton was burned Saturday evening, when fire swept through two sections of the Carolina Warehouse Company's warehouse at Spartanburg. The damage to the building was about $25,000. All the loss is covered by insurance, and the warehouse will be rebuilt at once. Farm 'administrators have nut agents to "shopping" over the country in an investigation to determine how the cotton processing tax of 4.2 cents a pound is being represented to buyers of cotton goods. Large markups of retail prices of goods are being attributed to the tax alone, and the government wants to know just how come. W. O. McCall, 30. of Lenoir, N.
