Close Escape From
Horrible Death
A very narrow escape was observed
last night near the railroad station.
A man, who seemed to bo a cripple,
escaped being crushed to death under
neath the wheels of a big locomotive
by only the breadth of a hair. He was
seen moving along beside the train,
walking with a stick and staggering
somewhaty as it stood in front of the
depot, lie staggered along, dangerously
close to the train, which was
liable to begin moving at any moment.
Then suddenly he keeled over and
fell directly in front of the locomotive
and Just at the moment the locomotive
began to move. People who
were looking on considered the man
doomed. It was expected that be
would be pulled from beneath the
train a lifeless, crushed and bleeding
mass. Hut a colored man who was
standing nearby called to a brakeman,
the brakeman signalled to the
engineer and the engine was stopped
Just in the nick of time. The brakeman
pulled the man up fropi the
track, assisted him across the street.
All who saw the occurrence,, declare
it to be the narrowest escape from
a horrible death they have ever looked
upon.?Sumter Item.
After being on strike for three
weeks, at the R. C. A. plant, Camden,
N. J., It Is announced by the officers
of the United Electrical and Radio
Workers union, that the striking members
have voted to call off the strike
at once.
Unusual Friendship
Of Dog For Mule
Every since ancient times dogs
have been known ait man's friend,
and now a dog that catches and cuts
horse-flies has formed a Damon-Pythias
alliance with a mule belonging
to a .farmer in Chesterfield county.
This dog follows the mule from
morning until night and walks around
under him, even rearing up on the
mule's hind leg without fear of the
proverbial dynamite of the heel. According
to E. E. Brown, of the Middendorf
section, who is a Resettlement
farmer and who owns both animals,
this dog catches every horse-fly
that comes anywhere near his friend,
the mule, und apparently eats them
with a relish. G. G. Thrower, Rural
Rehabilitation Supervisor, believes
the dog's appetite for flies is caused
through love of the mule andt not be- ,
cause of any particular taste for the
flies. "?
The dog and mule are almost Inseparable.?Chesterfield
Advertiser.
Tightest Knot Of All
When someone speaks of the marriage
knot they are not Just merely
using a figure of speech; for a long
time the tying of a knot has had an
important place In the wedding coremony.
Carthaginians tied the thumbs
of the betrothed couple together with
a leather throng; the Hindu groom
places a ribbon about his bride's neck
and ties it in a knot ; and the Parsees
tie the hands of the groom together.?

TIME8 AND 8TUMMICKS HAVE
CHANGED
.. Wouldn't it bo wonderful if a follow
could maintain into and thru old
age the digestive capacity of youth?
Not hi hk agrees with me now. not even
m.v wife. 1 do not recall having heard
of indigestion until I wan about 25
yearn old?it wasn't a question back
yonder what you should eat; the real
question was: What can we get to
eat ?
When 1 was coming along betwixt
the age of 8 and 10. it was not at
all uncommon for me to eat 6 or 8
raw onions with a hunk of cornbrcad
and a handful of salt, plus 4 or l?
raw turnips shortly after breakfast.
Just before dinner, u raw potuto and
a quart of red haws and all the greOn
or ripe applog and peaches I could
reach whetted my appetite for the oncoming
meal.
..Nothing ever seemed to set very
heavy on our stummioks. When we
<6 brothers and 4 or 5 neighbors, both
colors) passed thru a plum orchard
or u muscadine vine, It looked like a
swarm of Kansas grasshoppers or an
army of 17-year locusts had paid those
food precincts a visit. We ate over
half of pa's watermelons before they
had a chance to turn red inside. We
frequently enjoyed a citron after
working a few houre to get It opened
up. n
.'.Grandpa oredered 10 dollars worth
of worm candy (a very common medicine
in those day) t? be'sold on .commission.
He had sold one box of it
when we younguns found the balance
of-it in his trunk. We ate all of It,
not leaving enough to disturb even
worm. It did not hurt anybody
but grandpa. Nobody ever knew that
we had eaten his shipment of 'The
Most Remarkable Worm Destroyer of
tbe Age." u was a deep mystery as
to what became of It."
Parched corn, raw goobers, and
crabapples were considered mighty
good eating between meals when I
was ft years old, but nothing could
beat orange peelings and sardines:
both of which were considered real
delicacies; I never got all the sardines
I wanted in my life at one time
until I was 20; I bought 6 cans for 1
en (my pet) and ate them without
crackers or bread, and did not get
hungry again for nearly 3 hours.
At this writing, I can handle cornflakes,
hominy, butter, and a soft-boll[
egg ?- K- for breakfast. For lunch
I will have soup, a little steak gravy
Into which I dunk a few. pieces of
very dry toast, a nibble or so of turnip
sall^t, and possibly a glass of
buttermilk, thank you. But for dinner
(supper with us), I can sleep fairly
well if i drlnk 1 glag8 of gweet
milk with a whipped raw egg In It,
but that's all. Heaven surely will be
a place where you can eat what you
want and fly around In comfort all
day long.

Growing Menace Of
The Road House
(From Southern Christian Advocate)
The following editorial by I)r, J.
M. Rowland, Kditor of the Richmond
Christian Advocate, in reproduced
h?*re because it la u forceful presentation
of a very timely subject?no less
timely and no less applicable to conditions
in South Carolina than to conditions
In Virginia. With righteous
indignation at conditions around him,
Dr. Rowland points out a very reai
threat.
We sometimes wonder Just how
many people now take heed, even listen,
whon a man feels moved in his
soul to sound n warning on the nu ral
slump that is on us. Rut a preacher's
huHtness is to preach, whether people
listen or not. And an editor's business
is to publish the truth, whether
people read it or not. Then there is
a pointed statement in Holy Writ concerning
the watchman, who warns
the people of danger, clearing his own
soul, whether the people hoed It or
not. So this editorial is written
whether you read it or not.
1 here is nothing more serious than
the growing menace of the road house.
This road house is a very modern
product of our present day and life,
and a few years ago it was unknown.
Now you cannot travel any highway
for many miles without passing several
types of road house life. Multiplied
thousands of filling stations are.
scattered across the country and
many of them are supplied with liquor.
tainted reading matter and other
machines of temptations. They
are open every Sunday, and late at.
night, thus becoming loafing places
for all classes of people, especially
the young. Many young and old can
be seen congregating here Sundays,
when they should be at church and
late at night when they should be in
bed.
Then there are many swimming
pools, playhouses, dance halls and
eating and drinking places where
crowds come all day and late at night.
Thousands of autos are parked about
these places for hours with boys and
girls drinking freely. On a recent
Sunday we noted a particular case
that can be matched every Sunday
In many places. The writer preached
three times on Sunday for a faithful
pastor in a rural church. It was a
fine day, but congregations were
smaller than formerly In this section.
All day and late at night we passed
a number of road houses where church *
people were selling food and drinks,
including liquor, and crowds of church
people crowded the places like a legal
holiday.
Many have lost all regard for keeping
the Sabbath. Buying and selling
increases, rather than lessens, on the
Lord's day. And many have lost all
conviction on the evil of strong drink.
Church people sell it on Sunday, as
well as week days, and have made
barmaids out of their wives and
daughters. In the old Saloon days
the liquor shops were closed on Sundays.
And many tourist camps are springing
up where people flock for overnight
visits. Many of these keep no
registers of who spends the night in
these cabins, and there is no police
protection in many of these localities.
We cannot sow the wind without
reaping the whirlwind. We cannot
handle poisonous vipers without danger.
We are in for a terrible harvest.
Thoughtful Christian people need to
repent, pray and organize against this
growing menace that is increasing by
leaps and bounds on every highway,
bringing poison to our youth, drawing
people from the churches and
threatening the Christian home.
Payments aggregating $42,428 were
made to South Carolina from February
1 to the end of the fiscal year
June 80, by the federal government
for maternal and child health services
and for services to crippled children.
Federal ager^ies listed $6,164,117 as
still available for new highway and
grade crossing construction in South
Carolina at the cloae of the fiscal
year, June 80.
