A PENROSE by any other name would smell as bad. TiE sky seems to be the limit with the paper manufacturers. WHAT candidate Hughes needs is a big dose of Hallum's liver cleansers. THE single inan out of a job is to be pitied-he has no wife to support him. IT is a hard matter to satisfy the man who persistently refuses to be satisfied. AND every one of them declared, the day before, that they were "confident" of election! SOMEBODY can have our place in the sun if they want it. We're hunting a shady spot. HOUSTON (Texas) Post says that city is "a safe port." It sure is-for prairie schooners. WOODROw must have been terribly surprised when he was notified that he had been nominated! WE see by the papers that the Rus sians have taken the Austrian town of Mush. Pretty soft. THE reason some people never get caught up with their work is because they are always behind with it. THE fellows who were recently com plaining of so much wet weather are now comlplaining about the drought. AFTER being sunk and captured sev eral times, the submersible Bremen is scheduled to arrive in Baltimore soon. THE Anderson Inteligencer thinks that David had just been defeated in a primary election when he declared tha all men are liars. OuR good friend George A.

AFTER fighting Germany for more than a year, Italy has at last declared war on the Teutons. Took them a long time to guess which side will win in this war. Bht suppose they have guessed wrong, after all? While eating a wienerwurst in a Los Angles restaurant a man bit on a dog license tag numbered 4,413, which solv ed the problem of what became of Miss Anna Bell's Scotch terrier, which had been lost for three weeks. When he saw it was a dog license tag he started to clean out the place and the police had to quell the riot. Good Laws Portsmouth (New Hampshire) Times. Ever since the Civil War Republican statesmen have been saying that Amer ican farmers ought to be able to get loans on easier terms. They talked a great deal about this, but they never acted. It is true that President Taft took the matter up and worked hard to get something done, but the Republican Congress was too busy legislating profits into the pockets of protected manufac turers to listen to him. It remained for a Democratic Administration to write upon the statute books the two great financial acts of the age-the Federal Reserve banking act and the Rural Credits bill. And the Democrats re quired less than four years to perform what the Republicans had been talking much about and doing nothing about during fifty years of power. Been Lots of Rain Lately Greenville News. Says The Pickens Sentinel: "The Greenville News will probably be inter ested to know that the corn crop in Pickens county is not damaged as much as was at first thought." No, but judging from the samples we have seen. there's a lot of water in it yet. r. "Never Thought ot That" Tugaloo Tribune. ,Sugar at ten cents a p~ound and still I going up will compel some of'us to fall t back on the old reliable "long sweeten ing" for our coffee. -Pickens Sentinel. Why don't you quit using coffee and Iyou won't need any sweetening? i J. Alonzo at the Throttle Last Sunday, August 27, about 10 a. in., the offciating officer, J. Alonzo b Brown, was reclining on his porch, en -joying the morning breeze and medi E tating over the speeches of the respect -ive county candidates that he heard n speak at Cateechee the evening before, when ho noticed a car running at the rate of 35 miles an hour and making its eway directif up into the ' officiating officer's yard without breaking speed, e it sort of unnerved him, for he didn't know whether it was John P. Smith of -Liberty after votes or Sheriff Roark of yPickens wanting another boarder. After getting our eyes straight on the ncar and our thinking faculties to work-' t ing, we soon diiscovered our mistake: *s The occupants of the car proved to be SJames M. Clardy of Norris, engineer of 1the car; another man whose name we ,never lene'ned, fireman, and Harmon o Gambrell of Norris and Miss Della Moser of Central, the latter two of whom wanted to be made one flesh and a blood. a The officiating officer, realizing that a he never had the power that the man j had who made Adam, yet he realized a that he could send them out into the Iworld with a similar admonition that a the Lord gave Adam and Eve, which a was something like this: The day that t you separate the man shall never know e. another woman so long as the former wife lives, do his washing, mending and i eat cold bread so long as the former I wife lives. To the woman, she shall a never know what it is to meet a bus - band at the door, caress him, and shall y cut all the stovewood so long as the for a mer husband shall live. But so long as t you never separate arid each one adheres to the divine injunction laid down for contracting parties, It shall hereafter be e Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Gambrell. The contracting paftfies acquiesced and Brown's treasury is plus one dollar. B. Get the White House ad a Sjestic flour from the Piekens Hdw. & Gro. Co.
