home from hia loafing head-quartern |
at the city hall It alipped up behind
him and snugged him on hia left calf.
' It fetched the blood, the dog belonged
to uiih. art square and a meaner dog
hua newer benn heard of befoar. It
la not only vlcloua, but he barka all.of
the time, day and night, and haiku at
nothing at all when therp la nothing
elao to bark at.
?-tIiIm barking dog newer does annoy
Ita owner, mra. art square. ahe do not
aeem to hear It. while the auld dog la
ruimlufcjall of the ueighbora cruzy by
| burkMg? fi'?. aquuro aeema to think
I that the barking of her precloua lltt>w
"aplUzy" la aweet iuuaick In her cars,
ahe do not aeem to care how much the
flog diaturba other folka; he la precloua
to her, and In her heart he atanda
next to the baby and far above the
other 7 younguna.
? mr. holaum moore aaya ho wlahea
aoinebody would Invent a barkleaa
dog. It would be the greateat atep forward
alnce caln alayed abel. noboddy
can underatand why doga bark ao
much at night when other folka want

mra. art square the flrat thing, he
hatea doga while she loves them, hia
pulse la normal and hla leg la healing,
the poleeaman aaya there ought to
be a law about doga anaoforth.
WE DON'T LIKE TO BE TOLD
?If the war la won, It's not going to
j be won by the folka back home. We
'are all more or leaa too busy comj
plaining . . . We haven't got time to
I help very much . . . for grumbling
I and accusing and growling and cuas|
lng. Our wrath la poured out dally
| on aome poor government official
who Ih trying to do his auty.
,,?Funny thing . . . nobody has raised
any sand at all about /oft drinks and
/
whiskey and tobacco and cigarettes
and bear going up. Of course these
things come first, while food and
clothing come last. Noticed anybody
doing without any of the above mentioned
necessities? No? (But some
are using substitutes).
?If you read the papers and hear
folks talk, you'll conclude that nobody
in charge of government matters has
hulf as much sense as a billy goat.
We don't give 'em credit for anything.
If they clamp down on an Item?ration
it, we begin to find big supplies of it
Bomewhere . . . mostly somewhere,
way off. Hitler dearly loves for us to
act like that.
?We are all apparently Just going
along and expecting to win the war
without much sacrifice from the homefolks.
All of the fighting is being
done by our soldiers and sailors, or
rather?the army, the navy and the
air corps. We are too busy fussing
about what we have not and what the
other guy has that we can't get . . .
to render much service.
?We are raising the devil about price
fixing and price Ceilings. That's the
best move that the government has
so far made. Any of you fellows happen
to be old enough to remember
1919 and 1920? Remember sugar at
35c per lb. Flour at $20 per barrel?
Old fatback meat at 27c per lb.? A
pair of cheap overalls at $3.50? Well,
price ceilings are for the purpose of
permitting a poor man and a semipoor
man to live. But let's keep on
fussing: that'B an old American custom.
Before this war is over, there
will be more people weeping than
there are now complaining about foolish
things.
MISSES SMITH HAVE RETURNED
FROM THEIR VACATION
?miss Jennie veeve smith has return
ed back home from a 2-weeks stay In
the blue ridge mountains of n. c. and
vlrglnny. she did not go as far as
vlrglnny, but she buw It from the top
of big smokey, so she says.
?miss Jennie veeve says she will never
leave home again In a car until
after the duration, she had an "a"
gas card and evverboddy looked at her
like she was a fool, going so far from
home with so little prospect of getting
back, her 4 tires .were Terry wtak
allso, and the inner tube poked out of
the left front tire before she got half
way up the mountains.
?she had a blowout on sunday and her
and her sister, sallie veeve, set there
in the road for 6 hours, noboddy
woulddent stop to help them; they
were possibly afeared that she would
wont to borry a tire or a tube or
something, and she being a lady, she
mought of succeeded had they of stopped
and offered help, she was toed-in
by a garrage for & dollars and he put
a shoe In it for 2 dollars, it hell out
all the way but kept them in a Jitters
state of mind.
?miss smith Is in harmony with the
gowernment and believes in the rashloning
of things, but she says she will
newer leave her boarding house again
with poor tires and no gas much, she
enjoyed herself a right smart after
she got to the mountings, they roughed
it at a cabin for 6$ a week and
done their own cooking ansoforth.
she missed her old bath room a great
deal, the one they had up there at
the cabbln was 50 yards south, other
accommodations were o. k. except the
beds and the cooking utensils and the
roof (which leaked) and the two chairs
and the oil stove, which was evidently
recovered from the dump-heap 5 yr.
ago.
Kendalls In Win
Over Clever Gals
(Continued from first page)
and Lynch digging in to soak the
leather to the horizon. But a blonde
named Lee, who had taken over the
hurling duties after Quillen, a tall,
auburn-haired southpaw, had pitched
five beautiful rounds, decided Lynch
needed a rest and forced him to roll
an easy grounder to the dame at first
who goes by the name of Williams,
and who is really one sweet firstsacker.
The boyisb haircut Miss Williams
wears had the front row experts
guessing; several of the Main
street lads offering to bet some sizable
rolls that "she Is a he." Sorry
hoys. It really was Miss Williams.
Some of the Kendall lads who had
visions of strutting their base stealing
ability, were given a rude shock
by a Miss Hickson. who worked back
of the bat for the visitors. Her peg
to second was like a rifle bullet, as
Benny Robinson, Tommie Bruco and
some others found out. When the
boys leached the second bag they
found a nice-looking Miss Smith or
Miss Laye, waiting for them with
thp ball and a bewitching grin.
The game marked the second time
these two teams have met this season,
the first game going ten innings
to a 1 to 1 score at Mt. Holly. The
Kendalls Journeyed to Mt. Holly last
Friday night for a game and efforts
were to be made to arrange a fourth
game here the latter part of the
month. The Mt. Holly girls are to
play in the state tournament, then
the regional tournament if they win
the state crown, and if they are successful
in the regional classic, will
go to Detroit to play in the national
tournament.
Camden softball fans, in fact, all of
the sporting inclined, would like to see
the girls play here again. If a game
is arranged it is a safe bet that every
bit of Rtanding room around the baseball
arena will be packed with fans
while the seats of the ble&cher section
will be quickly grabbed up.
The line score of the game last
Thursday follows:
.-^Kendalls?3 runs, 3 hits and no
errors.
Mt. Holly?0 runs, 5 hits and one
error.
Batteries: Kendalls, Robinson and
Taylor; Mt. Holly, Quillen, Lee and
Hfckson.

served In the legislature for four
years, but, he said, "if I told you that
everything was done then was done
by me I would bo insulting your intelligence.
The things that were accomplished
then were done by 170 men."
Manning said "some governors have
issued a list of pardons. They can't
give thorough consideration to hundreds
of pardous in two or three
months." And
"The governor is supposed to stay
in his office and act with good sense
and sanely."
Later Manning said, "I didn't wait
until five minutes of 12 to run for
governor. I had thingB I wanted to
do for the people of South Carolina.
I had a program."
Johnston qualified for the governor's
race a few minutes before the
deadline.
J. P. Richards, incumbent, and
Grover F. Patton, superintendent of
Winnsboro schools, renewed their
verbal duel in the campaign for
congress from the Fifth congressional
district. A synopsis of Richards' address
follows: I
I lived as a boy at Liberty Hill
within sight of the lights of Winnsboro
. . . Have been your representative
nine and one-half years, going
in during the depression . . . Am
fourth member of the house foreign
affairs committee . . . Am on the
Democratic steering committee of the
house.... Backed the administration
fully oh its social improvements....
isolationist .... I fought in 1918
I've run and won eight political races
.. . .Voted for the neutrality act asked
by President Roosevelt.... Have never
refused the President anything on
the foreign affairs committee ....I
worked on and voted for the lendlease
bill. . . .Would Patton have voted
for arms embargo? Cash and carry?
Arming merchant ships? I did....Voted
against pensions for congressmen
.... Voted for the wage-hour law....
Voted against Guam fortification because
it was not feasible and was
not requested by the army, navy or
the President.
A synopsis of Patton's talk follows: |
We (Richards and I) shall hit
hard and hit fairly....I do not question
his motives, but his judgment..)
Richards voted against Hatch act1
(clean politics bill^ Against merit
. _ 1
system for the Home Owners Igfl
corporation .... For the antUfefl
