WILLIAM BANKs, editor, ariculturist and inspector of thinga that explode, has resigned his position as editor of the Columbia Record to accept the editorship of the Carolina Farmer and Stockman, the only agricultural paper published in this state. Our old friend Harold C. Booker is now editor of the Record. There is a guy named Kaiser Bill Who'll prove to be a quitter, son We'll give that guy a large-size pill And it will be a bitter one.. Rmn...a what da of th .ya "Okeh" The now famous "okeh," Presiden Wilsoh's word of approval which it good usage is certain to supercede the nonsensical form "O. K.," has create< almost as much discussion as the sub ject of the split infinitive. It is of in' terest to find that the Century Diction ary apparently slipped a cog in the spelling of the word-the correct form of which is "oke, " not "okah"-and that there is a second error in spelling in the dictionary's citation from Hying ton's Grammar of the Choctaw lan guage of the form of "yai okeh," meaning "Thanks to you." The gram mar actually reads ''yak okeh." The form "oke" (meaning "it is") is to be found on page 483 of the English Choctaw section of the oflicial "Die tionary of the Choctaw Language." edited in 1915 by the United States Na tional Museum, SmiIthsonian Institution, bureau of American ethnology. "Okeh" does not appear. Aplare'ntly the first tracing ot' "O. K." to the ('hoetaw banguage appeared in the Septerm ber, I . nutmber of the Century M . azinc, which is published by the elito rs of the ('enturv )ictiona ry. In the article in tha: number it wa.; suggestedl that ' ). l." had its origin in the Choctaw "ke. " lRegardless. however, of whether the apelling of the word with the final "h" is a dictionary slip. the tact remains that for all practical purposes 'okeh" is the ideal form, as it easily lends itself to the spellings "okehed 'and "okeh ing." which would not be the case if the form "oke" were used. The Gov ernment Style Book now prescribes the forms ". K..'' "'O. K'd' and "O. K'ing." Why should not the govern ment follow the sensible lead of the resident and adopt the form "okeh," "okehed" and "okehing," Francis DeSales Ryan. WITH THE BRETHREN Pretty Dry Moonshine atrney Ledger. Because a newspaper down in Florida tad what it termed a "Sunshine Col imn" Gary Iliott has named his para traph column in The Pickens Seitinel 'Moonshine Column.' We are whlling o bet that he will have no more relig ous readers of it than Watson Hell or Lion McKissick. Fine Place, Too ['ugaloo Tribune.
