By that we mean, do you listen to the radio an4 hear the news caater tell you about the “combat returnee?” j So far the. war haa brought us a lot of thode double-e / characters. \Ve have the “draftee,” the “selectee” and the “frainee.’’ Now come.s the “returnee.'’ We’ll bet one of "Bill Cobb’s lucious doughnuts That it wont be long before we have the “dLschargee,” But the dischargee will not be with u« until the Germans and Japs have been reduced,to the Hiatus of vanquishees. Ye* friend.'*—we are frightened, for the possibilities of the double-e .stuff are limited only by the number of English nbuiis identifying the performer of an action. By wholesale application of a stiff and tiresome practice of the law and business world, every performer can have his “performee,” every lover his “lovee,” etc. Where in Sara Hill will it end? Who is going to rescue the English language of Shakespeare, Bernard ^aw and H. L. Mencken from the ad writers, the press agents^fad other • word-coiners, and give it back to those who still like to call a spade a spade, and a combat returnee just a plain soldier come home? Phoo-ee. THE ALLIGATOR VINDICATED For lo, Iffejrt' many years, the alligator has lyeen brandetl, , without trial, by the court.<i of public opinion, or ignorance, to ' be more ixiflrrrt, a.« a criminal and unwanted character. He I Was fai.' game for all comers at any tirne of the year” no fe- i gard or respect being paid to the .season of his booming mate I call and .subsequent production (by Mrs. ’Gator’s eggs) of the progeny, which, like the parents, were ruthlessly cap tured or killed. ThtTe were voices of protest againfrt this procedure, some of which appeared in the columns of The State under the heading of “Woods and Waters.” And now the alligator is beginning to be recognized for his true worth and place in maintaining the balance of nature. The State of Georgia has purchased alligators and released them in a creek which was once noted .for its fine fish, but had since been taken over by such coarse and predatory fish as gars and carp, and snapping turtles, all of which are lead ing items on the alligator's menu. To see that no one molests these friends of game and food fish, the Georgia game depart ment is reported to be rigidly patrolling the stream which is their hew home. Having observ’ed the numbers and size of garfish and carp in some of what should be the finest fishing waters in South Carolina, we ponder whether it would not be well to ascertain whether a few alligators. might not improve the situation.—^The State. UVESTOCK GOES FORWARD The livestock industry Has made unmistakable progress in South Carolina in recent years. There was a time when the shipment of fat hogs^from the state was a rarity. Now they go out weekly from many points. Auction sales and co-operative shipments under the supervision of county agents operate on regular schedules. Orangeburg alone handled over a half million dollars worth of hogs the past year in its co-operative efforts, tb say nothing of private sales. In many counties this item runs into the huadreds of thousands of dollars of fairly new money. And cattle, too, are on the march. Livestock specialists of the extension service have an nounced the dates for nine spring fat stock shows and sales, and the dates for one or two more are pending. ’ It has not been many years since this stajte affordecl its' first 8u<^ event Now many sections stage very creditable stock shows and sales annually. Yes, there has been great progress with livestock in South Carolina in the past 15 years or 8o.^The State. yard, up Sew and Save Week!
