Association I'ubbluity Ah a r^*|ilt of the joint meeting of the Exerutivc Committee and the Legislative Committee on the Assaociation in Columbia Tuesday new life has beer put into the program of statewide legislation jiponxored by the Association. Under plans formulated yesterday, the public of the Htnte is to Ik- thoroughly sold on the various bill:-, which are to be introduced' in the legislature.' If the legislators j are to know the sentiment of the people regarding the various bills it I if essential that the people themselves be thoroughly familiar with! these bills. Among the plans for" publicity approved at the meeting of the Executive Committee was the I printing und distribution by the As-1 sociation of one hundred thousand; copies of a phamphlet, or leaflet, giv- j ing the substance of the various j pieces of legislation being sponsored by the Association, and urging the! hunters and fishermen of the state j to get in touch with the members of j the county delegation and urge theirsupport and assistance in the passage of these bills. These leaflets will be distributed in every county of the j state, ami * vt-1 y hunter ami lisher-e man should be* familiar with the leg- ' islative program of the Association; by the time the legislature convenes in Columbia in Junuary. Organization The Executive Committee of the Association also approved plans for an extensive organization campaign in every county of the .-late. It isj believed tliat as a result of this cam-j paign the Association will have a la-i cal chapter in every county ;n the; state by the time the legislature is ready to Vote on the various bills to be introduced by the legislative Com-i mittee of the Association. If the Association is to be successful in its! legislative program it is essential' that every section, and county of the' state, l>e represented in ito membership. So far this year meny counties have exceeded their membership of 1 last year, and it is believed that before the end of the present year the Association will have at least t rebeled its former highest membership. Further plans for this membership campaign will bo announced at a later date. A Meal Ticket For The Railroad About a week ago, on a late afternoon, an unusual sight developed at the local railway station. There were 50 bales of cotton on the platform, and Kussel Buyck, local buyer, was seeing to the tagging and shipping. "Rare scene," was suggested to Russell. "Not nt all," he replied, "I have sent 500 by freight during the last two weeks." Both smiled when it was stated that trucks used to load from the railway platform, and he confessed that he had done it tou. Magazines and newspapers tell us much about "Railroad Rehabilitation,"! ami they tell u.s also that "Rchabili- , tating" is making rone or very slow j prog re?.

McGee, Copyright, 1928. WHEN BOYS , WERE BOYS ..When I was 10 to 12 years of age, I spent my Sundays in a manner which differs materially with the Sunday practices of the youth of today. Of couse, all of us went to church every fourth Sunday morning but we had no Sunday school or other kinds of interferences in our community. We lived only <3 miles from a church, just a pleasant hour walk in August. ..My playmates consisted of 1 pothers, 3 little neighbor niggers, and | 1 white boy, all of us between G ar.d | 13 years of age. We started out: every Sunday morning (except the fourth Sunday morning. when we went to church, as previously >tut- | ed). about 7 o'clock and began to! ramble. The first thing we did was follow the branch in the pasture for G or 7 miles and kill snake doctors. ..If the sun was shining, lizards ar.d streakfields were plentiful on rail fences by 9:30 o'clock, we murdered them for. awhile, and then we commenced to rob warsp and yellow jacket nests for an hour or so and. having finished that business, we rushed home and ate dinner. The next move was a run of about I miles to our wash hole, and an hour of swimming, diving, duckingv.summersa4ti-ng, leap* frugging, etc., wound up that job. ..We invaded plum and peach and apple orchards after that ar.d clean- j ed each of them out before starting j on the muscadines of the community. After getting fairly welll filled up, i we went to the creek and grabbed for fish, snakes,-mudturtles, tad-poles, craw fishes, and any other varmints common to a water habitant; then we took up throwing rocks at birds, cows, mules, each other, and-anything else that looked like it wanted to live, and the next 2 hours were employed in climbii>g trees antl skinning cats. ..We enjoyed making pop-guns from! elder bushes, picking sweet-gum. chewing slickery-eim barks, smoking rabbit tobacco, seeing who could spit the furtherest, playing hop-scotch and stink-base, standing on our heads j walking on our handa, blowing our fiata, whittling with our finger*, turning our eyelid* wrong-side-out, chasing grasshoppers, catching Jacks with straws, and digging doodles. We were not handicapped with art excess of clothes, and really and truly were ' happy in tho midst of our ignorance and poverty. Jiut today it's different. Our boys are grown at 12, smoke cigarettes at ' d. chew tobacco at 7, cuss at 5, talk back at rn* at 8, go to the drug store on Sunday and drink soda water, wink at the v girls who might pass, pick* 4 up in the front seat and 5 up in the rumble set of the.r daddy's car, * and go places, and don't know anything about the pleasure of killing snake-doctors, robbing hornet nest*,! or oiherjypcs of fun of long ago, bu: not so very long ago us you-irtfght; be thinking. WIN IK) \V KNVKI.OP K8 ..A few years ago, some bird invent-' e<! a so-called ''Time-saving enve-' lope, but called it "window envelope" for short, It possibly saves the stenogiapher a few seconds because she does not ha\e to address the envelope, but the guy who has to open one of those window miracles does not only lose a minute or more, but he loses all of his religion at the J same time. ..Social correspondence is not carried on with "window envelopes." Only business men and firms have been fooled so far. You see, it's like this: if you owe your gTocer or banker or doctor, he simply writes: "John Doe, Anywhere, U. S. A., To balance due on account: $75.00. This has been running for 3 years." The sender folds the dun so's only "John Doe, Anywhere, U. S. A." can be seen thru the window, and all other addressing is eliminated . . . slipping the bill into the window envelope. When poor old John Doe gets his dun, assuming that he opens a few of them, he handles that "window envelope" in the same manner that he would handle a mud-cat or pther fish that he might undertake for the fiying pan. lie slits open the top, but the dun- is stuck to that envelope in at least 6 different places, then he! begins an operation very similar to | that of picking a chicken. When he! gets thru, the contents'of the enve- j lope are usually torn all to pieces, j Y Mv offa-e averages 10 to 15 of ! tner-e window afflictions per da v.1 10*. wi.-ionally I undertake to operate |on one of them, but my stenographer! 1 frequently relieves me of these persecuting .pains, and while she teaches a Sunday school class every third j Sunday, she does a teeny-weeny bit jof cussing herself and has just about , reached the point where she doesn't I b.ush when bad words creep out in connection with those window dressers. ! 1 a;nt very strong for saving my j I ..me at the expense of some other! j fellow who claims his time to be ju>t about as valuable as mine. An imI pro,emem could be made on this window thing. Somehow or other, mucilage or g.ue gets all over everything in such an envelope, and it's a task | to remove even a 10-dollar bill from I one ."of them, however, nobody ever risks much mony in a window enve1 lope. |..My advice to business men and stenographers is: Clean your type at least once every 3 years, see your ribbon dealer twice a year, and if you must use window envelope, st-e that you do not glu the letter into the said envelope in more than 25 different places . . . so's it can be extracted without foaming at the mouth. A I'lTTLE LOUDER, PLEASE ..A lady tried to whisper something to me the other evening at a party; much to my surprise and chargin," I no\ or did find out what she was talk,ng about, ami I decided immediately to have something done about my ears. Not being able to hear what a pretty woman wants to say to you U affliction to the "nth" degree. The nex't morning, at the peep of professional activity, I called on an eye, ear, nose, throat, and tonsil doctor, all in one. You know, of course, that physicians and doctors and other professional men and women do not go to work until betwixt 9 and 11:30 A. M? and some of them frequently "wait on patience" as late as 3:30 P. M., the same day, . -I found the doctor in all right, and also found him out. After trying to explain to me about the weather and his bad cold and his new car, he found out that my ears wore hitting on only 5 cylinders and that my plugs were gummed, and carbon had accumulated] on my drums. He and his assistant got out all of their tools, consisting j of knitting needles, crochet hooks, I squirt guns, ram-rods, atomizers, 1 blow-torches, and so forth, and they began to function. ..The first thing they did was . poke & wad of cloth (saturated with something I'd rather not talk about) , up my nostrila. Then they both went up town or somewhere's else. They came hack that afternoon, took a pair ar.Tn X-i. of pliers and pulled the pillow-case out of my head, and then squirted some stuff into my larynx before inserting a twisting iron and a hollow gimlet into my nasjal cavity. He finally got contact with my eustachian tube and turned the air pump agoing and nearly blowed the electric, light out at ray left. ..My doctor is tender-hearted; it looks like he felt sorry for me while I was crying. He sat a pan on my lap to catch the blood and tears, but he kept blowing and gouging and probing with much vim and vivacity. I wanted to tell my wife good-bye, but it was too late. Every mean trick I ever did marched before my blood-shot eyes, but I survived the punishment and can now hear a watch tick; provided, of course, that it ticks loud enough. I hunted up the dam-sell that did the whispering to me a few evenings before and begged her to repeat the suggestion. She did. She told me that she was trying to inform me that I had gravy and eggs on my vest and that my collar was unbuttoned and that she enjoyed a piece I wrote year before last: If I had known all of that before I invited a dr. to mandaughter mo, I think I would have just gone on and contented myself with my deefr.ess . . . because there are lots of things that aint worth heanng, much less seeing.
