"It was quite Interesting to note the many business men from all over the state who attended the meeting at the Columbia Hotel." There had been very little publicity on the bill or on the hearing but the presence of so many outstanding business men of the state Indicated that the new organization of (lie stiite chambers of commerce is alert to every move being made in the state legislature. "The biggest majority were employers who were present to protest. There were store executives, drug store men. bottlers, theatre men. hotel men. in fact?the ball room of the hotel was tilled with 'antls* ". The hearing next week will be on Wednesday. May S.

Sally Youth Wins in Plea For His Dog Widen Junes. 13-year-old resident of Halley, was adjudged winner of tlie "Biscuit Water" oontoBt for the letter and poena. "Bud Plead*, for Hie Dog," and will be rewarded with a pedigreed Cocker Spaniel puppy. The ionteel. held In eoUuectUm with the showing In Augusta of >e Biscuit Water." closed Tuesday midnight. Judges were literally flooded | with entries and it was only after much deliberation that the winners wore selected. Young Jones' poem, "Bud 1 leads for His Dog." follows: Hut a fellow's gotta have a dog, ma, To trail along at his heels, For no one can understand or kuow Just how a fellow feels. Hike a good old dog, and gee, Hum don't eat so awful much, And I'd rather go hungry myself. And give 'him all my lunch. I gotta have a dog. ina. And If you'll Just change your mind, Honest truly. I'll start today. Teaching Bum to act refined. I'll teach him not to scratch fleas, Nor chase our cat anymore, Nor to come Indoors after his bath And track up the parlor floor. And anyhow, It soems to mo If you can put up with dad, That you can surely stand my dog, 'Cause he's not half as bad. He don't ever talk back a word, Or put his foot on your clean couch, Or stay out all night Jong, Or get an awful grouch. So come vn- ma> Just be 11 8Port' And let me keep old Hum, He's the finest pal 1 ever had, And we have the mostest fun. Why, Ma, he's a religious dog, And every night upstairs, I swat him till he kneels down By ipe and says his prayers. And he's as clean as I am For every morning when we get up 1 scrub his teeth with Dad's brush, l tell you. he's a model pup. Why I'd just as soon be dead As to send old Bum away Can't yod change your mind, ma. And agree to let Bum stay? There. I knew you'd do It, Ma. You've got a heart of gold. And I'm gonna marry one like you, When Bum and I get old. Accompanying the pdem was a letter, and sine? it was on the strength of both the poem and the letter, that the youngster was awarded flrsk prize, the judges decided to publish the letter also. It follows: "Dear Sir: "I saw the announcement of your contest in our Chronicle today when I went home for dinner and I asked mother if she thought I could enter. She laughed and said she didn't think my poetry would win a prize, hut it would be all right to try. "1 am back in school now and writing this during a free period. I plan to mail It on my way home before I lose my nerve. "The first thing that interested me abouL your content was die picture of Hilly Lee and his dog. My dog 'Bum' looked enough like that dog to he his twin. And I guess he was a 'biscuit eater" too. atid not good for anything according to grown-up standards. But he was a swell pal. He never got peeved and when I was grouchy and shoved him around, he'd just sit and look at mo with loving eyes and crawl over and lick my hand. Many a time I'd feel so ashamed and I'd hug him tight and cry on his neck. Bum would laugh and start wagging his tail fast as ho could to show he wasn t mad at mo. "Hum was just a stray pup taat somi'hod.v throw out on his own. Ho *urely didn't have any pedigree and lie nov?r would have won a beauty contest, hut I loved him. Ho was my pal. Then on*- day we were crossing the highway on our way to the woods to hunt rabbits when a big car driven by somebody going nowhere in a hurry hit Bum. "He died in my arms, trying feebly to wag his tall to tell me not to cry. It has been a year now. It was a pretty spring day Just like this. Somehow, reading about your contest made me think of good old Bum and I'm not ashamed of my tears. He was my pal. I believe I'd like to have another dog now. I eorta think Bum would like me to. "I am enclosing the poem I wrote two years ago when I was 11, asking ma to let me keep that little stray pup."

Two Officers Retire From Calhoun County ' t> The unusual sometimes occurs In politics. Most politicians are seeking to stay In office. But not so in Calhoun county. Listen to this from Dr. T. H. Drehor In the Calhoun Times: "Another good officer quits the game. I^ist wbek It was Porcy Oolger, quitting the office of superintendent of education; now Frank Hill. A most unsual occurrence. The sheriff tells me that he will positively not be in the race this summer. In a good many ways Frank Hill is a genius. Few like him In that respect. He 1s one of the rare politicians 1 have ever known who could say what came to mind about people and they would go on liking him. He Is really a lovable fellow. Kindness is his middle name< Many a forlorn old soul will mourn his leaving office. The best negro sheriff In the state, tiie race was scared of him but not one dared to Injure him as they knew what would follow. He did more for sick folks than any one In the county. He smoothed the pillow of many a dying victim. He has served as active and honorary pallbearer at more funerals than any five men in the county. In hot prohibition days he barely si>oke to me. As a fanatic I shillalled and sacrificed him, time after time in The Calhoun Times for not being as rampant as my?elf. I waa later cured of my prohibition malady, for reasons too numerous to give here. When I could look through the proper spectacles, I was able to see the value of his services. He is a natural born detective. No trail was too obscure, no weather too severe and no criminal too dangerous for him to follow like a blood hound. He has traversed the country from Canada to Florida and never failed, so far as ! know, to j bag his catch and bring him to the bastlle. Sheriff Hill is not what we now call an old man?65. He looks like forty. His father came from North Carolina. He married the widow, Annie Houser. He died young. She wa3 a Felder. A clerkship in a grits and butt meat store as a youngster did not appeal to him. He soon fell into the lap of his interesting and welcome gods,.ns chief of police of St. Maththews for ten years. A deputy sheriff under the late Olin Dantzler. he was practically sheriff in the last days of Mr. Dantzler's indifferent health. When he died. John Rast was appointed for the unexpired term. At the next election, Hill was made ^B and has been on the job everl for twenty-eight years ]ie^H times had opposition, strange B as it appeared to pretty much* body from the sidelines, that! horses were racing against bred. I sincerely regret to see htufl His shoeB will be hard to fill fl lng him many more years of |jfl contentment, my verdict is tiB are breaking unusual recordB two such men voluntarily from office."
