We'd like to trade Bob Gonzales some carrots for a mess of okra. The principal reason a couple want i divorce is because they are married. As a war stopper, Gen. S. Tarvation knocks the socks clean off The Hague. Vacationists are returning on their homeward journey now, full of chiggers and-broke. Germany says she has plenty of cot ton. Then why all this fuss over its shipment to that country? "Can't sell beer over in Kansas" - headline. And it can't be sold over anywhere else, for that matter. "Stripped of its verbiage" the [.on don reply to our last note looks like one of those September morn affairs. Up to the hour of going to press with this gem of prose there has not been a fist fight reported in Greenville between any of the politicians-this week. Vice-President Marshall got lost in Boston the other day. and when he in quired of a policeman "Where am I at?" the bluecoat promptly arrested him for using had grammar! Colonel Bob of the State, rapturous over the receipt of a granddaddy water melon, has it all "spiled" by Booker of the Spartanburg Journal heading the writeup: "Boob gets a watermelon." George Fitch, one of America's great est humorists, is dead. He was the author of many laughable little sketches, and his stories have caused only smiles. Peace to the ashes of the author of "At Good Old Siwash." England says she won't quit seizing our cotton andi Germany says she won't stop) sinking our ships with cargoes destined for the enemy. Which leaves America just where she was before all of those notes happened. How soon the great are unhonored andl forgotten-when they are dead! At the thirteenth anniversary of the burial of Gen U. S. Grant, August 5 there were barely a hundred mourners to (10 his memory honor: whereas. thir teen years ago there were thousands there. Senator Pink Whiskeri Jim Ham Lewis of Illinois says that Russia. Ger many, Japan and China w.3il some day join in lighting the United States. WVonder what they gave Jim Hamr to dirink while he was a guest of the North Carolina Bar associationr in Ashr'ville recently? Mr. Lewis Parker. 'ne of the pirinici 'pal stockholders of the Greer'vih.' Pied-' mont, has assumed th.! a .'z"iate editor ship of that paper, while Mr. G;eorge Koester, who has been the editor-in chief', dlivides his time betweenj the editorial rooms and the business office. The Sentinel wvelcomes Mr. Parker into "our midst,.' John L. Sullivan, for tweive years 'champion heavyweight prizefighter of 'the worldl, also a former booze fighter ut ability, has turned to be a temper ance orator. He had a tryout in his new role last week, and if the more or less famous or notorious ex-fighter of men andi whiskey does as well in his new job as in the old, the temperance people will have an able champion. The stand-pat Reputblica~ns are for a tight on the Democratic tariff law at soon as the next congress convenes But it is doubtful whether they will bi able to get a hearing with so muel really Important business to take up thi time of the law-makers. The tariff a: it now stands Is good enough for th vast majority; so those few who ar looking for special privileges will hav to stand aside. Our Weakly Poem. - (Note.) --TI poetry editor this week is in the san fix as his recent poetry-sick. OUR WEEKLY RIornts'-.-When isi man obliged to keep his word? When no one will take it. Riddle for Next Week.-Why is right for B to come before C? DPacusville News Letter. Hon. S. G. Mayfield, a promfnent citizen of Denmark as well as an emi nent lawyer, visited at the home of his sister and family, Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Ponder, last week. Altho busily en gaged in the practice of law, he never fails to visit the blue hills of his native heath whenever an opportunity offers. Miss Margaret Jameson of Easley is visiting Mrs. Ford Williams this week. Mrs. S. H. Hunt and son, Malvin, accompanied by Mr and Mrs. George Williams and Mrs. Mary Hunt, started on an extended trip to points of interest in North Carolina Friday. While away they expect to visit Asheville, Hender sonville, Brevard and surrounding com munity, returning by Omesar's Head. Davis Hunt, one of our former citi zens but now of Charleston, is on a visit to his father and family; M. V. Hunt, Sr., of this section. Miss Daisy Philpot, who has been spending some time here, has gone to visit relatives at Travelers Rest. Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDaniel have gone to Washington to visit ther scan James and his family. Messrs. Volta and Clarence Lathem, with their respective families, of Mi ami, Arizona, are visiting their former homes for the summer. Father Time seems to have dealt gently with them, as they seem to bear no marks of de cline, and from appearances the lines have fallen to them in pleasant places. W. H. Brockman and wife and son Homer and Mr. and Mrs. William Major motored over from Greer in their hand some touring car, visiting many friends and relatives while here. The Lenhardt ball team crossed bats with the Dacusville team on the home grounds, with a score of 4 to 1 in favor of Dacusville. Our school will open the first Monday in September and we trust we will have another fine term. Prof. Lupo of Greenville is principal, with Miss Patti Major of Pickens and Miss Edith Len hardt of Easley as assistants. We feel proud to' say our school has turned out three boys who have won scholarships. Two years ago Lucius Thomas won the one-year agricultural course at Clemson. This year Malvin Hunt won the same scholarship, and Sam Jones has the honor of winning the four-year course at Clemson over sev eral other contestants. We think this shows the results of a good school at home, and wonder if there is another rural school in the county that can beat that-record. Miss Nannie Mae Jones, another of our graduates. will enter Winthrop at the opening of the coming session. With the exception of an epidemic of suminer colds and a few chronic pa tients, the health of our community is fairly good at present. From Pickens Route Three Mrs. W. R.

Never Too Late to Learn We heard on the street the other day of a man who claimed he was too poor to take his home paper, but that this same man read a notice in one of the fake farm papers telling how to pre vent a horse from slobbering, and sent $1.50 for the recipe. When the $1.50 worth of infor mation came it said: "Teach your horse how to spit!"-Hart well (Ga.) Sun. She Found a Way She had tried in vain to get the. telephone, but the other parties were using the line. The last time she heard one wo man say: "I have just put on a plate of beans for dinner." She triedllater, but the women were still talking. I~xasperated, she broke in crisply "Madam. I smell your beans burning." A horrid scream greeted this remark and then she was able to put in her call. It's Money Spent! It's far better to spend $50 or $1,000 in ad vertising in this news Ipaper and make more net profit than it is to spend nothing for advertising and make less net profit Out of every ten men who succeed nine do so by liberal publicity. The tenth man is usually a freak exception. Consistent advertising keeps you even with or ahead of your competitor. Most of our merchants are quick to realize that the best reading element in this community-the people who buy most take this paper and read the advertisements there in contained. ful Record' ain line of the Southern Rail ~rs he has sold Luzianne Coffee.
