..the sermont at rehober church last
sunday was enj<*ye<| by all concerned.
? it was- a trial sermonl by rev. i n herd
pit Sen of the county seat who i-s pulling
all kinds of strings to become
the regular pasture, but he preached
20 minutes too long to stand much of
a chance for same, he is single and
that counts against him with the
quiremasler mr. mike Clark, rfd.
..some of the farmers are getting
their feed and seed loans which are
being sent out by banks-head cotton
bill, part of the monney is going for
fcrtyli/.cr, part for gass and oil, part
for liccnts plates, and manny other
need-eessitics. folks hope to got enough
citsh from the govvernmcnt to
last till the seckorterry of aggerculture
hires them to plow up part of
the lW.'M crops at 11$ per akvr.
. .wo had another big mad-dog scare
in the hart of town last week and
when the polcesman como to hi.s
sense lie ha;l climb a .tollygram post
and was tangled uj> in the Wires with
his pistol and billie lying on the
ground., the dog was slobbering Vi-rry
hcavv'y and was snapping at different.
things while passing by. he
has not been ketched or heard from
since he left, going south.
..Miss jennie veeve smith, our efficient
school principle, has ordered
off to chircago for her spring hat and
also her spring coat, one of the trustees
who tuns a stoar wants to know
> why she don't order off somewhere
for her spring check for her salary,
she explained that nohoddy carried
annything in stock large enough for
her. her host is -lli and her waist lie
is verry low in the hack and that
makes her hard to have a fit. so she
explains. she allso wears no. 11
hoses.
..the whereabouts of the prisoner,
jim billinger, who broke out of jail
with a wooden pistol ^and f> gards a
few weeks ago is still unknown...he
.is n dangerous character, and it looks
like he can break out of anny jail
in the world provided he can get
enough help from the inside and the
outside. H takes some monney these
days to gain yore liberty, but wooden
pistols are allso handy at same.
. . mr. odditor, plesc correct a statement
in my collurn lust week where
you said that the big party in honor
of mesdame brown and mesdames
jones of the county seat was hell at
the' ressidenee of the widder joslin.
mrs. joslin has foamed me 3 times
about same and says she is no widder
and that her husband is only off
on a vacation, but she did not say
for how long, you have my thanks,
yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd
oorry spondent.
STILL CLIMHINC IT
..I was invited out the other evening
not out of the house, but out
to dinner. The lndv who invited me
didn't know that I wasn't (rained to
covort in high society; she possibly
had heard that I could sing, and that
encouraged her to have me to dinner.
(It was stag, but the "boss" did all
of the inviting.)
I arrived ahead of time. That's!
possibly one of my faults. (I bet I
I'll Ix-at my own eorp.-e to th?. ?tm j
etery by dll minute- i 1 daiv't |
any light in the - it t mg-r??..m. If
parked .1 hoii-e- down the <t-eet and,
waited for sumo of the other famous'
guest- to enter first. They soon en-1
tered. and so did I.
I gave the front linnv . ha a tf? u r
my hat and coat. He toted them off
?there wasn't any place to hang
them in that room. 1 took a seat, .by
a prominent lawyer; he was so prominent
he represented all of the "con,- ,
per-rat ions'* in our state. He talked
a right sma't and I listened very
well for him not to be a woman: 1
have been trained (at home) to listen
attentively to a woman.
The i haullYur came in about
p m and announced "1 tinner is served."
There were 2 waiters (colored)
and I think I heard 2 other servants
in the kitchen. This was a stag dinner,
thank goodness. Nope, 1 didn't
tou.h a drop. 1 took my seat promptly
and the others soon followed suit.
Then 1 began to worry about being
n-ked to a-k thee blessing. Hut they
were so high up in society, they didn't
have any blessing
. 1 took the napkin and spread it
out on my lap. like the judge did. It
wa- as large as our table-cloth. There
was a string of silverware at my
v itht as long as my arm and one at
my le'i nearly as long. 1 knew that
i . ip i e 11 e demanded that I use them
as they were '.aid out. but my elbowgo'
in the wrong place and mixed
them ir> into ;? cord-wood design. I
1 w:i* -1 the judge but he didn't know
! \ cry much about anything except
l law.
I . After .< t i ream ami a iittle extra
eup of colfee had been fetched in
land served, I discovered that I had
eaten my salad with the uo ten
[spoor., and had cut my butter with
the salad fork, and had sliced my
"potato-en-jacket" with a carving
knife, and had used 2 forks in eating
my steak, instead of four. I reckon;
ar.d had dropped 2 spoons. 1 fork and
j'2 knives on the floor at my feet, and
that there were 3 or 4 little items of
tab!<?ware that I had not found any
use for at all. At home, I use only
3 eating implements, viz7.1y: a fork
! and my hands. I didn't find anybody
in the crowd knew any more about
table manners than I did?not even
the host. He -was a regular cornfield,
in my opinion.

In Control Ants
Clemson ('ollego, May 10. ?A fit
control is very difficult, cle^truction
of the queen and the immature stages
id the nest being one of the underlying
principle* of control, Say VV , C .
Nettles, extension entomologist, Hid
Mrs. Dora Doe Walker, production
[ and conservation specialist, who have
prepared ...directions for ant control.
Druggists will coopemto with these
extension workers in preparing ant
| remedies accurately by those, diveet
ions.
| "Ants otfon have specific responses
I to poisons, hence one remedy may be
very effective at one time or locality |
and prove practically worthless in j
Other instances," the specialists state-. !
"Ants may be destroyed by pour-j
ing into tho nests large quantities of
boiling water or several ounces of j
carbon disulphjdo, provided all tho J
nests are located. Poisoning should i
he attempted if all of the nests cannut
be located or are too numerous
to treat.
"Since most ants are attracted to
sweets, it is often advisable to use
a .sweetened poison. Nevertheless,'
the sweetened poisqn is not effective
against some species of ants which I
show theil' fondness for greasy foods.
For the grease-eating" species, the!
host control has been obtained by rubKing

or cooked meat.
j
"A slow-acting ant poison being j
necessary, extreme care and precision
are necessary in weighing out the in
gredients find also stock the necessary
chemicals for the sweetened
poison, the complete directions for
ant control have been sent each d'i ug
store in the state through a list furnished
hy Dr. J. M. Atkinson, secretary
and inspector of the South Carolina
Pharmaceutical Association.
"A word of caution is necessary
since the ant poisons are toxic and
should be lyopt out of reach of children
and domestic animals. Cans
may be fitted with tops which permit
the ants to enter."

Killer Is Quickly
Caught In Texas
Dallas, Tex., May 19.?Nine hours
after he killed a Dallas policeman,
Richard Charles Rehm, New York
parole violator, had been shot and
captured, charged with the murder,
indicted and arraigned.
Trailed by officers from the time,
ho dashed out of a downtown garage
after shooting Luke J. Bell, a patrol
driver, Rehm was forced to surrender
under a barrage of pistol shots on !
the Wichita Falls highway near Ronnoke
yesterday. He suffered two;
flesh wounds.
Bell was slain after he had coh- 1
veyed several prisoners to the rear
entrance of the jail. Rehm made a
dash for freedom but was pursued by
Bell. Both entered the garage and
Rehm threw up his hands when Bell !
confronted him with a drawn pistol.
As the officer reached for his handcuffs
with one hand, Rehm grabbed
the pistol from the other and fired.
He ran from the place, commandeered
three automobiles and kidnaped
two persons in his flight and
stopped long enough to shave with
a bare safety razor blade before he
was captured.
The Dallas county gTand jury was
hastily summoned into an extraordinary
session.
A few minutes after Ira Burk.
proprietor of the garage in which
Bell was slain, accusingly pointed at
Rehm as the killer, and his identification
was substantiated by Carprage
Pope, negro garage employe, the
I grand jury returned an indictment.
