Mis favorite sleeping quarters were in the doorways, or on the stair-ca.se, or in my lounging chair, or in my bed, or just anywhere that he knew would 'be the wrong place for a dog. If 1 bad | kicked the scoundrel in hollowing (iisj tance of bis mistress, I might as well have gone on to my room and packed my grip, arid lit out. ..I tried every way in the world to get lid of that dog. Nobody would have him; all cars dodged him in the street in front of our house;' he wouldn't eat anything that had ground glass in it; he wouldn't follow unybody except our daughter, and there we were. I dropped him into a farmer's wggon one morning, butJ the farmer found him before he got out of town and fetched him back home. ..I finally tried to buy the dog; T offered $5.00 first, $1,600.00 next, and finally raised my hid to ,000,000.00* with a doton payment of 25 movie tickets, hut I was told ;that "I wouldn't take a million worlds for 'Mickey.

One of the keenest and most accurate commentators on governmental affairs at Washington this week had this paragraph in its syndicated article: "The 'brains' of the Democratic leadership in the sehate is the party's wiry, nimble-witted whip ? Jimmy Byrnes, of South Carolina, Me never loses his temper, has sound political judgment, is unassuming, hardworking, and above all knows how to co-operate. Although a staunch conservative it was to Byrnes that the President turned for the real command of the administration's program at the special session." Dr. Z. T.

IVrnon on I.Hst WcdneHdny Afternoon. |',V idcni Ftankliit |). RoO*OV#H on last Wednesday afternoon delivered his message to the 73rd congress in portion* the two houses of the con-, gresn joining in the house chamber to liuten to what ho had to nay. The president spoke for 22 minutes and wus frequently applauded during the course of his address. The message in ipart was as follows: ."1 come before you at the dpening of the regular session of the 73rd Congress, not to make requests for special jor detailed items of legislation; 1 come, rather, to counsel with you, who, like myself, have been selected to carry out a mandate-^of the whole people in order that without partisanship you and 1 may co-op-1 erato to continue tfie restoration of our national wellbeing and equally important, to build on the ruins of thq past a new structure designed better to meet the problems of modern civilization. , v. "Such a structure includes not only the relations of industry and agriculture, amfdjnanee, to "each .other, but also the etfect which all of these three have on our individual citizens and on the whole people as a nation. "Now that we are definitely in the process of recovery, lines have been rightly drawn between those to whom this recovery means a return to the old methods?and the number of these people is small?and those for whom recovery means a reform of many old methods, a permanent readjustment of many of'our ways of thinking and therefore of many of our social and economic arrangements. "Civilization cannot go back; civilization must not stand still. We have undertaken new methods. It is our task to perfect, to improve, to alter when necessary, but in all cases to go forward* To consolidate what we are doing, to make our economic and social structure capable of dealing with modern life is the joint task of the legislative, the judicial, and the executive branches of the national government. "Without regard to party, the overwhelming majority of our people seek a greater opportunity for humanity to prosper and find happiness. They | recognize that human welfare has not increased and does not increase through mere materialism and luxury, but that it does progress through integrity, unselfishness, responsibility and justice. "In the past few months, as a result of our action, we have demanded of many citizens that they surrender certain licenses to do as they pleased in their business relationships; but we have asked this in exchange for the protection which the state can give against exploitation by their fellow men or by combinations of their fellow men. "I congratulate this congress upon the courage, the earnestness and the efficiency with which you met trfb crisis at the special session. It was your fine understanding of the national problem that furnished the example which the country has so splendidly followed. I venture to .-Ay that the task confronting the_ first Congress of 17H1) was no greater than your own. "The credit of the. government has been fortified by drastic reduction in; ihe cost of its permanent agencies through the economy act.. "Wall the two-told purpose of s t re tig t :ic r. i r. g the whole financial .structure and of arriving eventually at a medium of exchange which will . have o?e y the yea-- less, power for ur people man that of the past, 1 have a-cd ti t authority granted mc to putcha-e all American produced goal ar.ti s:?i r and to !>u> additional gold] ;n tin- world markets, t'arefui investigation and constant study prove that .n the matter of foreign exchange rate-, ct rtain of our sister nations iind themselves so handicapped by interna! and other conditions that they feci unable at this time to enter into .-tabii.zation discussions based on permanent and world-wide objectives. "The overwhelming majority of the hanxs. both national and state, which j reopened la-t spring, are in sojnd von.nt.on and have been brought with.:, tile protection of federal in:<u;at v.

"Under the authority of this congress, we ,huvo brought tho component parts of each industry together around a eommoiv table, just as we have brought problems affecting labor to co;umon meeting ground. Thttugh the machinery, hurriedly devised, may need readjustment from time to time, nevertheless 1 tbink you will agree with mo that we have created a permanent feature of our modernised industrial structure and that it will continue under the supervision but *not the arbitrary dictation of government itself.* | "You recognized last spring that the most serious part of the debt burden affected those who stood in danger of losing their farms and their homes, I am glud to tell you that refinancing in both of these cases is proceeding with good success and in 'all probability within tho financial limits set by the congress. "But agriculture had suffered from more than its debts. Actual experience with the operation of the agricultural a<Jjustment a^t leads to my belief that thus far the experiment of seeking a balance between production and consumption is succeeding nnd has made progress entirely in line with reasonable expectations towards the restoration of farm prices to parity. I continue in my conviction that industrial progress and prosperity can only be attained by bringing the purchasing power of that portion of our population which in one form or another is dependent upon agriculture up to a level which will restore a proper balance between every section o^- the country and every form of work. | "I cannot, unfortunately, present to you a picture of complete optimism regarding world affairs. "The delegation- representing the [United States has worked in close cooperation with the other American republics assembled at Montevideo to make the conference an outstanding success. We have, I hope, made it clear to our neighbors that we seek j with them future, avoidance of terri1 torial expansion and of interference 1 by one nation in the internal afTairs of another. "In other parts of the world, however, fear of immediate or future aggression and with this the spending i of vast sums on armament, and the i continued building up of defensive I trade barriers, prevent any great i progress in peace or trade agreements. I have made it clear that the United States cannot take part in political arrangements in Europe but that we stand ready to co-operate at any time, in practicable measures on a ' world basis looking to immediate reduction of armaments and the lowering of the barriers against commerce. "The adoption of the 21st amendment should give material aid to the elimination of those new forms of crime which came from illegal traffic in liquor. "I shall continue to regard it as my duty to use whatever means may'-be necessary to supplement state, local and private agencies for the relief of suffering caused by unemployment. With respect to this question, I have recognized the dangers inherent in the direct giving of relief and have sought the means to provide not mere relief, hut the opportunity for useful and remunerative work. We shall, in the process of recovery, shek to move as rapid lvXs possible from direct relief to {ftfmicly supported work and from that to the rapid restoration of pri-> vate employment. | "We have ploughed the furrow and I planted the good seed; the hard be' ginning is over. If we would reap the full harvest we must cultivate the soil where this good seed is sprouting and 1 the plant is reaching up to mature growth."

' ' 1' M '"' V 4 Interested In The Cotton Campaign Clemson College, Jan. 8.?More cheerful homes, needed clothes, new home conveniences, and the removal of the dreaded sptecter of harassing debt from the threshold, are some of the results of the cotton adjustment campaign of 1933 as experienced by the farm wife of South Carolina and other cotton states. County agents in South Carolina report to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration through the Extension Service that debts which had been in existence for three or more years were wiped out and the economic condition of the farm family thus made more secure. In other instances, back taxes were paid to avoid foreclosures on the farm. Farm women say they were able to buy new clothes and shoes for the children and to secure more nourishing food. In some instances conveniences to lighten the burden of household duties were obtained. These things mean that the morale of the entire family has been improved. As a result, farm women of?the South have a greater interest in the success of the present cotton adjustment campaign. More money for less cotton means that farm women can have some of the Biings so dear to the heart of every woman?things that might be secured by reason of improved prices for cotton brought^ about by the success of the campaign. But, in addition, the farm wife also is interested- in the acres released ?????II I I ' ' ! II I II I 111 II Pastor Is Fi'eed By Circuit Jury Piggott, Ark., Jan. 6.?A circuit . court jury early tonight speedily acquitted the Rev. Dale IS. Crpwley, 34year-old Baptist minister, ,in his tHai. for murder in the slaying of J. W. MacMurdo, janitor of the Jonesboro Baptist Tabernacle, in an outgrowth of a bitter factional church fight. <Crowley pleaded self defense, asserting he shot MacMurdo after the 68-year-old janitor had refused to leave the tabernacle and shot at him. The jury reached a verdict, three minutes after it began deliberation. The trial was transferred here on a change of venue due to bitter feeling at Jonesboro. As soon as the verdict was read Crowley and his pretty red-haired wife rushed to the jury box and shook hands with each member of the jury. Crowley, who had been recognized by the Chancery Court as legal pastor of the tabernacle only two or three days before the slaying, told, newspapermen he still was the pastor and would continue his religious work there. from the production of cotton. On them, say officials of the replacement crops section of the A. A. A., farm women may have thve kind of gardens they have always wanted. A > fertile acre near the house can be available for producing fresh-succulent vegetables for the family. There may be space, too, for small fruits,;> berries and the family orchard. t - f:? # Cooler roads not only cans? little wear on new tires?they also "cold-cure" the rubber.
