Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by CJee McCee, Copyright, 1928. LayvrtKwiK jc*?>? AUTO mao-DKTS ..The happiest person on earth, in my opinion, is a southern negro boy y, just reaching the uge of .20. .. .rattling down the road in just any kind of old automobile with a .7-inch see gar protruding from his mouth . ...and 3 chttr.-coni rose-blossoms in the front seat with him and 4 or 5 more of mixed sexes in the rumble seat. ..No one up to this writing has ever seen?a negro with a car on Sunday, on any highway anywhere, unless it was loaded' as follows: Coupe, at least 4; coupe-rumble-seat-typl*. never less than 7; 5-passenger machine, from 1 to H, plus 2 or 3 on the running boards. They believe in carrying plenty folks places when they go there themselves. ..Nothing pleases the average carload of negroes better than to hive a nice, large puncture or blowout at any point on the road.^Jpide tree <" no shade-tree; they enjoy patching inner tubes and adjusting carbureters just about as much as a German enjoys beer and hales 1' lance. , I think the colored gentry likes to show-off in the matter of patching tires and fixing en route motors. % - ,m .Tho^average car owned by the, negro in the south averages about 1 yia?.s behind the latest ifiodel of the sffiSie make; apparently, they care very little for new cars, but it i? possible that the money question enters into the ownership of a late* make. . 1 have never seen many negroes with ears that- had but one good headlight and rarely*ever a red tail light. ..Negroes, as a rule, are always more courteous than white folks. They rarely ever pass a car driven by a white person, but if it's another negro, look out. young fellow, you've got to race for it. 1 have known negroes to walk JO miles and buy ~ gallons of gas, walk back home, feed it to his old "lizzie." pack up the folks, and fetch them to town. They really appreciate a thing like that. "Negroes, like most white folks, won't be satisfied In minutes in heaven unless there are plenty automobiles for them to drive. Both races appear at times to be willing to ride a car "down yonder" just for the pleasure of the trip. .The auto- j mobile' has re-created all of us. It has absolutely killed patience, rest, quietness, satisfied minds, contented surroundings, uif| has made a galloping. rustling, bustling, jostling mob ( of all of us. and we ain't no more j the kind of human beings we were ; 2f? years ago than a billy goat is a rabbit.

NEXT TO THE LAST STRAW .1 came home to supper the other night and our little girl met me at the front door with a little black puppy in her arms and before 1 could Lay Jack Robinson, she said "Daddy, look at'this pretty, cute, darling little dog Mrs. Jones gave me today; maykeep it?" ..We walked on back to our homefolks sitting room to discuss this dog (question. 1 thought my child would hug and kis? that-pup to -death be- \ fore 1 could get an idea into her head | that dogs, like politicians, are lots of j trouble and expense. 1 asked her what kind of dog was it and she sard ! "he's a little boy dog." ..1 then asked my baby what breed the pup was; she replied?"His mamma is black, and his daddy wasn't at home when 1 got Mickey." (She had already named the animal). 1 tried j to find out what size the dog might he when he was grown and she explained?"Mickey's mamma is as high as my sweater." . .Well, Micky might'he a water spaniel. fox terrier, bull, hound, fice, or Imcbbe a bird dog pup for all 1 km w. i'l couldn't tell my kid that the dog must go.

I In spito of the example set by: Uncle Sum, that the people are deft-1 I>erate and must be supported out of his, pantry and pocket, we have had four of the most remarkable years, in succession for cotton, ever known by the oldest people. There have been 1 dry years. The ideal against boll weevil depredation, During the last 40 years we have never seen the Scoville pond, near Riley's station, practically dried up. But nature pays her debts. The rainy years are bound to come, and it will, in the nature of things, not be long iriore. When they arrive, there will be far more reason for weeping, wailing and-gnashing of teeth. For that .reason it is well to get your house in order. You will need Uncle Sam then, far. worse than now, And Uncle Sam may be too badly crippled to help. Some of'his present methods are too socialistic to stand, and he will see it. Without a change in viewpoint, the .Republican's v^ill wipe the administration into darkness. Kronv other angles, that would bo a calamity, but it will come unless the Democrats change some of their tactics. Watch that prediction. Wjft, can't all survive in new automobiles, white-collar jobs, useless gas and eating out of the govern mcnt's cupboard. It is said of the grc'at Fnglish sea-tighter, Drake, that he once told his crew: "I would like to see the gentleman whp will refuse 1 to set his hand to a roptf" That is opportune now. People must nbt be afraid to soil their hands. Work is the gospel that will save us. If not the kind that suits us, then the next best we can find. There will always be suffering, of course, for the good and sufficient reason that so many live only for the day, and do not look beyond their noses. People most to be pitied are those with absolutely nothing, who rush into matrimony and bring forth large families, with no visible means of support. We take little 'stock in all this ballyhoo about the thousands of acres uncultivated, and the need of aliens to fill them up. The trouble is that our own frugal, desirable elements , are not sufficiently equalized. But for the love of home and old environi ments. this could and Would he done.

The speaker at the memorial services at 1 1 o'clock was Gary Paschal, of Columbia. There was a big parade in the afternoon and a dance at night.

( hairman Query, of the state tax commission, suggested on Thursda> of last week that the salaries of all state employees be raised back to the 1931 level, as some of them are embai rassed by the cost of living now. He s;.id nothing about the salaries*of school teachers, either present or in default of payment in this state, but confined his sympathetic suggestions to state house clerks. lwenty-4ivc prisoners in the jail at Lawtenceburg, Tenn., are quarcntined after one of their number developed I a case of smallpox. a Warns Hunters Danger of Shooting Camp Boys Captain C. M.

"There are several thousand of the C. C. Cs members now working in the forests of South Carolina and the carelessness of hunters in mistaking them for game might possibly result in the loss of life. "The commanding officers of the camps near you will be instructed to supply you with information as to the locations of the various work pro' jects being undertaken by the men of I the Corps in the woods so that your | warnings may be definite as regards certain areas." A bullet whizzed past the head of Coroner J. Roy McCoy, of Anderson i county, while he was driving to his home near Bolton, on Wednesday night, after holding an inquest at Anderson. He saw the flash of a pistol on an embankment beside the road and thinks the bullet went in front of his windshield, but he hastened away from there as rapidly as his car would go. He has only one arm. No clue to the shooter has been found, and it is believed the coroner was mistaken for somebody 'else in the darkness.
