Music may soothe the savage breast, but if one wis after tis we wouldn't stop to play him a tune. Pr's enough to make a cow weep to try to read a negro dialect story written by a Connecticut Yankee. MANY a young f'llow gets consider - ably shaken up by talling in love. Oth ers sprain their pocketbooks. I4 Secretary McAdoo resigns Presi dent Wilson could not do better than to appoint 1. M. Mauldin as secretary of the U. S. treasury. A STRANGEIt walking on our streets and across our bridges in town would probably come to the conclusion that Pickens is the Holey City. 'Tis said that the production of books has decreased "on account of the war." But as yet there has been no congres sional investigation ordered. "BrIL's in the Legislatur', but lie doesn't say what fur. And there are a lot of bills in the legislature, but nobody knows what they are for. TI I Conceisus of opinion of Greenville people who saw Mine. Sarah Hernhardt in her plays last week seems to be that Sarah does Iretty good for an old lady. ORDINARY sinners may get prayer for the asking, but the South Carolina leg islature has to pay a preacher $100 to pray for it. But. the responsibility is worth it.

A FRIENDu wants to know how we manage to ''make up'' a riddle every week. \Ve dlesire to state that the rid dlIes ar'e seldom original with us. We get themi from variou sources. ONE of the most pathetic little fea tures of everyday life is the great num ber of people who seem to think that the Apostle Paul was talking about ad vice when he said the Lord loves a cheflgiver. 414 MAJon - (;i.NElRAL WOOD evidently thinks N. G. is the proper wvay to refer to the national guard, and we are ex pecting at any moment to hear some sympathizer retort that the regular army's head is Wood. LEOISIA'Orns and newspapers are saying much these days about the q~uantity of likker a man may have in his *possession at one time. Wonder some of them wouldn't say something now *andl then about the qluality. JUDG(;I lBRAND of' Athens has been elected to congress from Georgia to (Ill the term of Congressman Tribbie, who recently dhiedl. No doubt some of the Georgia papers are boasting that they have a 13rand new congressman. IWE were very sorry to see both Pick ens county members of the house of representatives vote against Editor Booker for clerk. The other fellow couldn't be a better man, but probably they thought as Booker was an editor he wasn't worth a tinker's dam. WHILE a farmer at Hammond, Ind., was fondly gazing upon a piece of pie in a restauirant his glass eye exploded, '~' Iknocking him to the floor. Which, as Colonel Booker of the Spartanburg Journal would explain, shows the dan ger of gazing upon a pieceoof pie with V a glass eye.

Brother Wallace . is almost always correct, and this timrie is very nearly so. The Senti nel hasn't a dollar owing to it on sub scription, so far as we know, and we are glad to be in this same class with the Observer. We find the cash-in-ad vance systemli not only better for the paper, but after the subscribers become accustomed to it they like it better, too. If the subscribers of all papers only knew what a great difference it made in the paper they would all insist upon paying in advanco. Wi hope the government will quit investigating the high cost of living. The more they investigate the higher the rations go. It was the same way when the government attempted to "bust" the Standard oil and other truste. ANYWAY, we hope they will keep Evelyn out of this new "Thaw case.' Pumpkintown "Deadhead" Stuff Ring on, sweet wedding bells, forever ring! Fewer chances for the bachelor you bring. The party who looked as if he might have traveled about quite a bit was de scribing a certain very mountainous part of the country: "Their fields", hesaid, "are so steep, that by looking up the chimney you can see a man plowing on the next farm."
