Talking About
Our Neighbors

The Faneers Tone In.
For the farmers radio has eeased
to be a novelty and has become an
important utility. To-day the world's
largest user of radio for informational
purposes is the United States Depart
ment <i Agriculture. Daily it broad-
oasts from 100 stations its educational
programs lasting for a half hour or
mors. In addition it broadcast, mar-
news service and weather fore-
Secretary Jardine says a potential
million farmers are being reached
daily by the department's educational
programs. Within a few years, Secre
tary Jardine adds, it will be possible
to have the attentive ear of almost
every farmer in the United States.
Regular and careful guidance by
redie eeu place agriculture in a strong
and secure position. A lack of unity
in thought and action has worked to
retard agriculture. Radio can serve
to weld tbs farmer, into a unit
Secretary Jardine declaims this
Welding prooeee is going on to-day.
He points out that day by day each
farmer and each group receives the
same council. Gradually, all agri-
cuRurel interests can be expected to
share mere equally correct knowl
edge ef prodeetien and marketing

] The Short Session.
Corgreee, convened for the short
session, will probably try to enact
eome sort of legislation for the re
lief ef the enburdened farmers. But
fanners will probably save them-
selves from being disappointed if th ry
expect little from this short session.
Farm relief legislation ran on the
nocks in the long session because
there were too many pilots to steei
H straight. The procedure promises
to bo repeated with variations during
the short session. When farm relief
copies up there trill no doubt be little
time left to do any law-making^afiOr
all the views are “aired.’’ And vrh '•
the doctors argue the patient grows
It is indicated that the farm relief
problem trill be linked up with that
of dealing with the Treasury surplus.
Previous legislation to aid agricul
ture such as the McNary-Haugen bill
was turned down, among other res
sous, because it was said the cost
would be too great to be met at that
New the suggestion is being made
by Wesiem champions of the farmers
that the surplus be used to giv e the
help they ask. But there are others
who demand the surplus be used to
give taxpayers a rebate on the final
installments of this j^ar’s 9 comr
taxes, as advocated by President
Coolidge. Still others oppose such
repayments and favor general and
permanent tax reduction. In the clash
of these projects it is possible all wil'
fall.
In addition the problems presente 1
by the World Court, railway consoli
dation, waterways, Muscle Shoals,
•lien property, and a dozen others will
doubtless be debated.
This seems a long program for a
abort sesion but probably littie wi 1 !
come of it.
Lqpyers and officials attending Big
Court in Barnwell this week will ap-
te this bale, showing a display
of wit between opposing counsel. The
story goes that in one of the courts of
Western North Carolina, while James
R. Dodge, was making'a'speech, a
triumvirate (Messrs. Swain, tollman
and Dews) perpetrated, v “wfth malice
aforethought,” this jeu d’esprit, which
Mr. Dodge found lying on the table
before him, when he had finished his
speech:
“Epitaph on James h. Dodge, Esq*
Attorney at Law.
“Here lies a Dodge, who dodged all
Rood, ’
“And dodged a deal of evil;
“Who, after dodging all he could,
“He could not dodge the devil.”
He read the paper, and. impromptu
replied:
“Here lies a Hillman and a Swain,
“Whose lot let no man choose;
“They Hved in sin, and died in pain,
“And the Devil got his Dews (dues )"
Destroying ^moorshine stills seems
id have been a popular sport in Sooth
Carolina this year. Over in Bam
berg County Sheriff Ray captured a
big one on the old Jack Hunter place
adong with Clayton Jolly and Wilden
JUusar white, operators. In Aiken
County Sheriff Robinson seized two
plants near the old Dkvis place and
at Cox’s Bridge with 1,000 gallons of
boor. !. Sheriff Sam Willis up in
Greenville has caused 101 outfits to
come to grief this year.

Get Out of the Way of the Man
Who Knows Where He’s Going
Some jokes, like a kitten, apparent
ly have nine lives. ^
Dressed in new clothes, they appear
perennially. v „
Such a joke is the old gag about
the small town sport who Stood be
fore an elite eating place at meal
times chewing a toothpick to give
the impression he had just dined with-
ta.
Every one laughs at the story, with
perhaps softened malice, for to some
extent he recognizes a kinship with
the hero.
The genuine, sincere, unassuming
man, who is content to appear what
he is and .nothing more, is the mil
lionth man.
What most people want is to be
known ss great rather than simply
be great.
Try this on yourself:
If you were offered the chance to
have all the power and greatness, as
well as all the responsibility, work
and abuse, of a president of the United
States and have no one ever know
you were president-4iever get etedit
for great acts if accomplished—would
you accept? ;i '
Isn’t it recognition and not just
pure achievement the thing desired?
Of course recognition is part of it,
but when it becomes the most im
portant consideration, it assumes sn
evil influence. . . (
Not everyone who says he •,de
sires power and success really de
sires those things.
They are synonymous with work,
worry a nd responsibility.
What those who say they want them
to desire »■ the by-products of power
and success, the toothpicks and not
the meal.
They want the yachts, the trips to
Palm Beach and the. Packard limous
ines.
To really eat you must pay; to
chew a toothpick costs nothing.
To really achieve costs work -and
self-denial; to seem to a chieve (for a
time!) requires only a weak con
science.
Every “show-off" desires the
results of achievement, but is unwil
ling to pay the price. He would
rather chew the toothpick of fraud
than eat the substance of paid-in-ad
vance actuality.
To seem to be, to all but the shrewd
est eye, has all the attractions and
none A the hardships of actual being.
In Sunday School we used to sing:
“This day the noise of battle;
The next the Victor’s song!”
The noise of battle must precede
the song of victory. The Royal Order
of Toothpick Chewers try to reverse
the sequence, and it can’t be done.
.Man Shoots Wife.
.
The gentleman at the right is not combative. BUT—he’s
juat been oVer to neighbor Brown’s where he heard, and he has
decided—definitely and Anally—that his home shall no longed'he kf;
without a radio—a good radio set. So he is on his way to THE
BARNWELL FILLING STATION where he, knows the famous
SPARTON RADIO is to be had. He is going to give us a Christ-
. maa order for a radio set, to be all installed and tuned-in on
Christmas morning. Which, by the way, suits us—because that
is our promise—«nd our specialty.
