Rooster I I Tackles Mule | / Kinston, N. C., Jan. 27.?^Bill ClemKama rooster wa, mourned to<?y. The rooster wan a veteran of '"any fights. lie won scoCe?, lost 0"ly one, according to Clemmons, and that wan with a mule yesterday. He "fought everything that walked," Cdenunonu said. "He whipped every other^ rooster in the neighborhood, whipping two dogg laat week, chased my wife's cat ull over the place, attacked a wooden-legged negro when he came on the premises, took a couple of digs at a carthorse. He got too jaunty. He thought he was cock of the universe. Yesterday he sailed into a mule and spurred it on the legs. At first the mule couldn't do anything about it. "Jim"?that was the rooster?darted out of the way every time the mule kicked at him. Hut after about five minutes Jim got careless?got in the way of one of the mule's heels. We picked him out of a corn crib eight yards away, and he was dead as a doornail. Hig Business 'Someone handed me a clipping, reading as follows: "That the greatest issue of the Saturday Evening Post in history used 6,000,000 pounds of paper, or 200 carloads; 120,000 pounds of ink or 4 carloads; and sixty 46-ton presses ran day and night for throe weeks printing it. On a flat bed press, old style, operating 8 hours a day, it would have taken 75 years to .print the circulation of t'his one edition." No doubt the foregoing is true, since in the hey-day of The Post as many as 200 pages were, printed as one issue. Since most magazines and newspapers print 50-50 reading matter and advertising The Post has carried more than 100 pages advertising. And since a page in that -periodical costs $8,000 to $10,000 it can be readily reckoned that one issue, for advertising alone, would be about one million dollars. Hut the radio, or something, is playing havoc with the national magazines, for after the last holidays The Post cart ied only 12 to 15 pages advertising. In fact, magazine advertisement-' are a pretty good barometer as to business conditions.? Monroe Enquirer.

A Scoop In Journalism The city of Anderson has three! crac king daily papers, besides sev-! ernl weeklies in the small towns. A remarkable record. The dailies, at] least, seem to be booming. The lat- j est ebullition of enterprise, game ex- j -hibition, and spread-eagling, was the January 15th edition of the Anderson! Independent. Some pages may have! escaped the count but we cor ruled \ about sixty. The Independent is nat- j utall,\ proud of its native, newly in-) augurated Governor Johnson, who tig- ; ured extensively in the scoop. We feel sure the young governor will] measure up. A change for the better' gubernatorial efficiency and achieve-1 ments is sadly needed. Medicores have been drifting for some years.] We are told that nature abhors ? vac- ! uum. and is never static.

The Innocent Thing - A city girl was spending her summer vacation on her uncle's farm. The day of her arrival she went with him to see his herd of cows. The girl gazed with interest at the beasts, especially one that was chewing its cud. "Fine animal, that one," said the :arnier, following the directoin of her glance. "Yes," replied the grrl, "but doesn't it cost you a lot to keep her in chewing gum?" It is expected now that the decision of the supreme cour\on the gold cases will hardly be delfcered before next Monday week. K Search Reveals Peculiar Laws 11 may relieve the minds of some New Yorkers to know thut it is im> longer contrary to law in this State to rise in a balloon for the purpose of returning in a parachute, but how sadly a need exists for further repeal is demonstrated by continuing restrictions which prohibit citizens from racing a horse within a mile of a court house, buying land from an Indian, or advising a railroad mun to quit his job because he hrfs to wear a uniform. It is, furthermore, still illegal to play golf on Sunday. ' The New York Community Trust, which apparently has done a lot of investigating to provide that it is better for trustees not to be hampered by inadaquate authority to meet unanticipated circumstances, has compiled a collection of prohibitions which are still in the law, though to enforce them literally would compel some sort of revolution. In'Massachusetts, for instance, one cannot pull up mayflowers while in disguise without severe punishment though what one can do while not in disguise seems mooted. In Pennsylvania it is unlawful to use a cannon "at any serenade or any wedding," while in Michigan no justice of the peace "shall hold any court in any barroom." The same state makes it a felony for any one to incite Indians to go on the warpath, but forunately, there is no longer a statutory necessity to take an annual census of the bees. In Idaho it is a misdemeanor to fish for trout from the back of an animal )r to shoot at a bird from an interuroan trolley car. In North Dokota no person under 15 years of age may go loser to an engine (railroad) than lb feet, unless accompanied by parent or guardian. Ohio makes it a misdemeanor for in instructor of roller-skating to ?eluce a female pupil, and it is also a misdemeanor if a stenographer di> the character ot an employer's lie ration. West Virginia still has , a law which forbids a physician to adminis-( r a sleeping potion "to any female per-on except in the presence of some third pei son." North Carolina requires t.hat twin beds in a, hotel room mud he at least two feet apart. Mat viand, however, has repealed the law forbidding ministers to give money for having persons contentMating marriage directed to them by aiiioad or hotel porters. South < ar li'.ia still makes it compulsory for railroads to carry free of cost any ha by buggies which passenger? may' bring on board. i In Georgia, where a dentist is gulls' of a misdemeanor if he is "guiity if cruelty," it is required that every oublic surf bathing beach be patrolled oy an individual in a bathing sui* of "bright solid red," with "life saver" in white letters on his breast, and wearing a leather harness around his, rhest, such harness holding a rope me-quarter inch thick and "not less ban 200 feet in length." It is known to all motorists who! risit Connecticut, that all clocks pub-' itdy displayed must indicate standard ime; to indicate any other "intentionally is unlawful in Washington motor vehicles can not be driven on1 ii highway by an individual having in his or her embrace another pers-1 on." California insists by statute that f mixed juries have to retire for the light the sexes must be separated. , Half the States in the Union, the ( ommunity Trust people find, have considered it a function of government to. regulate the length of hotel oed sheets. Kansas has made it un-, lawful for intoxicated persons to have I :harge of the "power of guidance"! of any vehicle propelled by other than ' muscular power." Kansas, further-! moie, may not eat, in public "snakes,, iznrds, scorpions, centipedes or tar- " intulas." TTiey may though, in pri-1 vate.?N. Y. Sun. James I'. Pritchard, 90, one of Sherman's troopers in his march to the sea in 18f>5. died this week at >t. Albans, W. Va. CORN PONE Recipe for Making Old-FankfogJ Bread From Corn. (From The Yorkville Enquirer) Here is the recipe for oldfashiouJ corn pone, said Rev. C. E. Philip, pastor of Ixmg Creek Baptist churck/ this morning. "I gQt it fiom mother, Mrs. C. A. Phillips, of Ben*; mer City, and I know what it i8 cause I have eaten it many a time" The recipe given by Mrs. Phi%will make a good size none, enough for eight people, meaning eight good: size chunks. Here it is: "Take a half gallon good water ground meal, one pint buttermilk, one tablespoon full of salt, one tablespooj full sugar, one-half teaspoonful soA' mix to soft dough with warm water pour into earthenware crock, and place crock in vcbbo1 with warn" water and let rise, all night or |fl day, till cracks appear on top ol dough, work down thoroughly as if fresh dough, then place in deep iron pan, or old time oven if available, and bake till dark brown." And if that one is hot satisfactory here is one taken from the Philadelphia Ledger as suggested by Mrs. A, B. Scott, who is the Ledger's recipe editor: One cup cornmeal, 1 cup flour, 1 1-2 cups milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons melt ed shortening, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons baking powder. Sift the cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into bowl; add the milk, melted shortening and wellbeaten eggs; mix well. Brush pan with a little fat, pour in the mixture and bake in a hot oven 30 minuter. Cut into squares with hot knife blade and serve hot. A hot blade should be used when cutting hot bread of any kind. A whipping post bill has been introduced in trie Missouri legislature, the lash to be applied "in a humane manner to such extent" as may be decreed by the trial judge.
