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?.
In the meantime, politicians are'
bu-y rehabilitating the automobiles:
and trucks. That crowd can votehea\i!y.
:.r.?! pretty much everybody I
steps on the gas?some even to the
relief shops. Talmadge sailed to
the Georgia gubernatorial throne on
a dollar tag license. A .man by the
name of Nice butted Ritchie off the
seat ;r. Maryland with the same mug,
and it played a card or two in the
recent Palmetto Contest. When the
old railroad cow is milked dry, you
car. bet one thing Bud, those huge
taxes will not be supplied by automobiles
and truck-, unless and unless.
Some time back "Charleston put on a
citv motor vehicle license tag tax.
Those guys fought it to the Supreme
Court. That tri-bunai and law are
not as soft as the politicians, and
has ruled that it must be paid.?Calhoun

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.
LABOR TROUBLE A-BREWING
mr. francis J. gorman,
strike causer,
new york city,
dear sir:?
plese come down at once and order
a 100 per cent strike in the flat rock
mills. if you can't come yoreself,
send a big flying squadron, allso a
few pickets ansoforth. something
must be done, onner count of my son,
budd dark, has benn fired and injected
out of his house.
they tried to stretchout poor budd
but he would not stretch, they wanted
to make him sweep the floor with
one hand and take up bobbins with the
other hand and it run him thru the
mill so fast that it got dangerous;
he made over a mile a minute from
sunup to sundown.
the super-rintendent ketched him
with a bolt of cloth on the way home
and they had some words and he
struck him and then he struck him
back and that drifted into a fight
budd was only taking the bolt of
cloth home to compare it that night,
and he allso wanted to cut his wedges i
from $20 a week to $19 & 98c per
week and budd wouldent stand for
his sallery to be tampered with.
budd says for you to come down
yoreself to call the strike and he will
meet you at the train, he can't get
the othej- fellers to strike with him.
it will take a big dog from up north
who* collects all of the dues to teech
these fellers a lesson, budd will lose
his radio unless he gets back on, and
the only chance for him is a genneral
strike by all mills including the cotton,
the twines, the silks, the socks,
the stockings, and everything else excepp
the teamsteTs.
if you could fetch on the strike
right away while it is turning verry
cold, we could win same a right smart
quicker onner count of the mill has
benn getting orders fast and they will
re-instate budd and give back bis
house and force the super-rintendent
to apologise to him for hitting him
about the cloth which he returned
back to the cloth-room that night: his
loss was 09$.
budd would enjoy yore strikes a
right smart more if you would feed
the strikers while they are out and
not depend on the government to do
so as heretofoar; they try to make a
man work for food apd other stuff
common to the needs of the human
body, if we have to work for what
we eat, we mought as well Work in
the mill, as it seeing it takes all of
the dues we pay to run the headquarters.

A farmer was delivering vegetables
to a state institution for the insane.
"You're a farmer, ain't you?"
The farmer replied that he was.

"Did you?"
"Yes; say, stranger, did you ever
try being crazy?"
The farmer never had.
"Well, you oughta try it," was the
parting shot; "it beats farming all
