\ Teacher Leaves
Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 16.?The
Pompey Hollow school was closed
?g*in today: The second teacher hired
to take the place of pretty Miss
Esther de Lee, twenty-one, who was
dismissed by a trustee in an argument
over display of the Stars and
Stripes, dismissed the pupils and left,
*111 from nervous strain."
"I don't know whether I'll come
back or not," said the teacher. Miss
Marie Pomillio, to James A. Armitrong,
the trustee who fired Miss de
Lee. Armstrong indicated he would
hire one of the nine persons he said
had applied for the job after the'flag

Naval Demands
Made By Japs
London, Nov. 19.?Ambassador
Tsueno Matsudaira of Japan prepared
today to give Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary, the Japanese reply
to the British proposals for a compromise
naval treaty arrangement.
It was understood that the reply
was worded in a friendly manner
but that it rejects the proposal because
it only offers to recognize
equality in principle for the Japanese
navy instead of the equality in tonnage
which the Japenese ask.
Ambassador Matsudaira, it was
said, will ask further discussions in
the hope that the British and United
States' delegation's to the present preliminary
conversations may see their
way to meet the Japanese demands
for full equality. ,
Pulls A New One
Kirbyville, Texas, Nov. 15.?With
a few dabs of green paint a Newton
county negro touched up a $1 bill to
read $1,000,000.
He advised the Newton Bank he
wanted to deposit all except $200
which he needed at the moment.
United States Attorney Bennett
said he would waive federal charges
if Newton county tried the negro for
lunacy.
A report comes from Acajete, Mexico,
tells of the brutal slaying of an
aged woman there by religious fanatics,
because she supported the government's
plan for socialistic education.
One man was killed and $175,000
property damage resulted because of
an acetylene gas tank explosion at
the Charleston navy yard, near Boston,
Mass. The cause of the explosion
has not been fully determined.

How To Judge
Character In A Man
Hy C. E. Hlnson, Claxton, Clu.
Some months ago when I was home
I promised to write you a letter when
1 had the time. I have enjoyed the
many nice writcups in your "CatchAll"
column.
About the most interesting thing 1
can write about is those things within
my line. At leust that's what 1 think.
As you may ulreudy remember 1 operate
the only cafe in this town of
2,000 people which is the county seat
of Evan* county. Wo have two high-1
ways, No. 30 east and west while No.
72 traverses north and south. I huve
worked five years on the same floor.
It may ho news to the average per- J
son but it is an easy matter to judge
a man by how lie orders and eats a
meal. It is still easier to tell whether
the lady with him is his wife or
somebody else's. Newly married couples
are known at sight by those who
serve them. A cranky person is known
before he speaks as many words its
he has fingers on his right hand. 1
am going to classify folks by groups
so that the reader cun get an idea
of them:
The easiest patrons we have are
big business men, politicians, and
lawyers. They like plain food, well
cooked, very cleanly served. They
like corn bread and turnip greens!
with pork, good coffee usually black I
and when satisfactorily served are
quick to praise a good meal, not much
kick when service is slow. This type
of customers are as refreshing to
the help as a summer shower. ,
The/next easiest to serve are mer-j
chants, bootleggers, truckers, who are!
in the regular trade and high grade
salesmen. These folks usually know J
what they want to eat and how they J
want it. The merchant knows good
food when he sees it The "legger" J
likes thick, heavy steaks and substan-1
tial food in large lots while the salesman
takes kt4n less quantities. They
too are appreciative of service and
extras.
Then comes the farmer, garage
worker, doctors. They like a large
quantity dinner of meats and puddings,
consume lots of tea, coffee or
milk. Thc-y like to be noticed and
talked to while eating. Naturally they
are our best customers since they do
more eating out, than the average.
About in that same class are dentists,
housewives, barbers and salesmen.
They are some harder to please
and rarely know what they are going
to eat when they enter a place. They
shop around and ask what "extras"
there are to get with their order.
They grumble at slow service like
they were big shots in the businessworld.
The most abominable people there
are .in the whole field of eaters that
infest eating places are'school teachers,
old maids, postal workers, NRA
relief workers, art calender salesmen,
house to house canvassers, horse
traders, (not liverymen) and beggers.
Ordinarily when one enters an eating
place and it is known everyone
from the dishwasher to the proprietor
gets on edge until they are served.
They rarely ask for anything except
tfie abnormal things. They ask for
two dime sandwiches for a dime and
at the -' cents. If they get a hot
dog they want lettuce and tomato
and mayonnaise between. You may j
have three salads ready to serve and
the very one not prepared is the one
they want. If yoy start to prepare
it they will kick and stomp like a
spoiled child. They never know what
they want and after you have read
the whole menu over the third time
will say, "Give me a hamburger." Any
one that does not believe this ask
Cole Helms who has run a cafe since
I can first remember. They put four
and five spoonfuls of sugar in their
coffee and tea and never stir it up.
They scatter napkins over the place
using not less than half a dozen. They
slop their coffee on. your best table
linen and scatter catsup and mustard
to the four corners. They want as
many extras as a movie quOen at her
first filming when the?truth of the
matter is that they1 were probably
reared as far back in the countrv. Ci
the writer Who boasts of li miles.
They do not fool a soul except themselves
and my idea is that that is not
much.
Not every school teacher or old
maid is like that. This is true with
the rest of those named though so
with the most of them. We get lots
of fun out of them behind the screen,
i They break the simplest rules of etiquette
without the batting of an eye
which shows that they have more
brass than culture.
J If you want good service at the
most eating places, here are a few
simple rules to follow: Try to be
normal when you enter. If possible
give your order before going to wash
your hands. Look the menu over for
the food you like. Don't shout your
order at the waitress. Don't begin
eating or ask questions before your
order is complete. - Don't wflt the
waitress to stop serving another customer
to get you a glass of water
or an extra dish, for he too is paylog
for his food and service. ~Dont
a cafe, "What
not got anything to eat If you find
some foreign matter in your food,
don't kick over a table or throw a j
spasm but, call a waitress and speak
in a low tone or point to the plate.
If you must kick call the munager
and tell him in as decent way as
you would kick on your light bill.
Some managers are human people too.
Try the above suggestions on your
friend Tony some time and be sure
to carry some smelling salts in case
that he faints.
With kindest regards to all my
friends up there.?Yorkville Enquirer.
P. C. To Have
Home Coming Day
Clinton, S. C., Nov. 19.?Presbyterian
College is preparing for its annual
Home Coming to be held in
Clinton Saturday, November twentyfourth.
This is the occasion of the
P. C.-WotTord game, which is to be
played on Johnson Field, Clinton, at
two thirty that afternoon. Recent
Alumni meetings in New York, Florence,
Anderson, Columbia, .Spartanburg
and Rock HiU indicate that more
Alumni expect to return for Home
Coming thia year than ever before.
A barbecue will begin the Alumni
festivities at twelve-thirty, and will
also be the scene of class reunions
for the classes o( '14, '19, '24, '29
and '34. This will be followed by the
unnual business meeting of the Association
ut one-lifteen in the college
chapel. A section has bucn set aside
for the Alumni buying tickets in advance.
Several groups on the cnmpu
are planning receptions for their
former members after the game.
What's In A Name?
This little story I credit to my
friend, Neil Mclntyre, prosperous farmer
who lives near Wingate:
A man owned three hound dogs. He
named them Merchant, Ranker and
Farmer.
Merchant, who was out for profit,
jumped a rabbit which was duly
caught. Banker came up and promptly
appropriated bunny to his use.
Farmer arriived on the scene, sat on
his tail, and put up a howl to high
heaven.?Monroe Enquirer.
Negro Confesses To
Murdering Children
Clifton Forge, Va., Nov. It).?Their
skulls battered in by a fatal slayer
the bodies of Alice P 11 *11, 13, and
her sister, Ellen, nine, were ??mnd .
early this morning, side by side in a
rain-washed gulley.
Almost immediately officers arrested
Philjip Jones, 25-year-old Negro
near whoso hon\o the bodies were
found. His wife, Chester Smith and
John Pryor, both Negroes, also were
arrested.
Hushed to Roanoke, 65 miles away,
to avoid any possibility of violence at
the hands of outraged citizens of this
community, Jones wus reported later
in the day as having made u full
confession to the double slaying. .Simultaneously
with this announcement
the four prisoners were hurried out
to Roanoke with two automobile loads
of armed officers who acted under
sealed orders and did not themselves
know their final destination.
"The feeling is running so high
here tonight, that even I don't know
where they have carried the prisoners,"
said Commonwealth's attorney,
M. J. Putnam.
"We were fortunate enough to get
the prisoners away from hore before
the public generally knew what had
happened."
Quoting from memory, the Commonwealth's
attorney said Jones told
him in the alleged confession that ho
had telephoned the home of the children
asking that his home be notified
thaf he would be late returning.
The children went to the Negroe'a
home. "I suppose because it was
nearby and they knew the Jonea
Negroes," said the Commonwealth's
attorney.
"Soon after Jones went home," said
Putnam, "he told me that he suggested
to the children that they had better
hurry homo, and soon after they
left, he overtook them and waylaid
them."

While viewing the country over
several days ugo 1 stopped for a short
while at the huspitahle home of Mr.
and Mrs. 11 uey Pu rser down in Goose
Creek township. 1 soon learned that

stated the number, all* having acquired
their parents' qualities of thrift
and good citzenship.
Before leaving, Mr, Purser showed
me his nice flock of poultry. This
splendid old couple just couldn't get;
along without plenty of eggs to sell.
1 was presented with a nice pumpkin?Japanese
variety. I believe?
any way, it made a splendid pie or
custard as the case may be.
Which caused me to wonder why
every farmer does not grow pumpkins.
Those afford n table delicacy
and a very profitable crop to grow
with which to feed hogs, cattle and
poultry.?Monroe Enquierer.
