The country's annual candy bill is
certainly a jawbreaker.
Loyalty is all very fine, but usually
the fellow who will lie for you will lie
to you.

the modern man is superior to the

Italy is to have a national theatre,
but Mussolini will gee to itlhat v there’s

What the Senate needs now is some
one with a gobd, strong voice to shout,
“louder and funnier.”
They’re teaching convicts trades
now, but they probably won’t make

A commission has been busy comr
paring the amount of dust in the air
in a number of differtmt cities and it
may help some if the report urges
people to keep their mouths shut so
they won’t get dust in their lungs.
Men of fashion are to wear shoes
with sharp points and heels an inch
and a quarter high, those who fix the
styles have decreed, thereby proving
that men of fashion are not always
men of sense.

It is explained that the purpose of
the contest is to stimulate more in

The fi-0-1 Law.
The editor of The People-Sentinel
is not opposed to the 6-0-1 law in it^
entirety, but belu/ves that there are
some inequalities in the measure that
can be ironed out. He had Jtoped that
a thorough discussion would be' had

We bolieve that the spirit of the Act—•
that the strong should htJp the weak—
is correct, but it is entirely possible
that some of the apparently “weak”
. ^ f *
counties are weak because of too low
tax assessments. For instance, it is
hard to mconcite the material pros-,
perty of Greenville County, with its
great textile plants, department
stores, etc., with the fact that Green
ville, under the 6-0-1 law, is classed as
4 ‘weak” and in need of State aid for
its schools. As we stated in thtV be
ginning, we are not opppsed to the
law, but if we can make a good law
better, let’s do it.

Show Just Begun.
A visitbr at the “aviation fieh
one day last week remarked tl if
the pilots had been running “c (e
accounts” they would have # aj
land-office^ business.
It used to be said tha^ if every
Chinaman would add an/inch to his
shirt-tail, the extra demand created
for cotton would greasy advance the
price of the stapled Probably the
same result could by obtained now if
/ -a 1
the ultpa-fashjonafrie girls and women
could Be induced to wear -cotton
^ p- ' ■ e
(dresses* and adff an inch thereto.
A BarnweH philosopher remarked
the other day that the best thing a
husband can bequeath to his wife is a
big family of little children. In the
course of time, he said, they grow up
and at least some of them develop in
to worthwhile men and Women wbo
can and will care for the mother , in
her old age. : On the other hand, ac
cording to the philosopher’s observa
tion, money or property is lost sooner
or later in unwise investments on th.e
part of the widow.
The political prognosticators
-whom we have always with us, ’t
seems, in greater numbers than the
poor—have already placed, according
to thtir party leaning, either A!
Smith or Herbert Hoofer in the
White House. They need to be re
minded, in either case, that many
things can happen before the time is
ripe for the parties to choose candi
dates, and that stbl more things can
happen before the voters -h »ose a
President to succeed Calvin Coolidge.
s As a matter of r acr, the big show
of 1928 has only just begun. So far,
much of the action has been comedy,
but the serious business will come
later. With such matters as religion
and prohibition threatening, at least,
to be either open or voiled issues, the
campaign bids fair to.be exciting. It
will require some expert side-stepping
to make it dull.
And for this liason, if for no other,
the political prophets are likely to see
their forecasts go awry. The ending
of the show of 1928 is not as easy to
predict as many think.
Girls Have Chance
to Win Scholarship
Knowledge of cookery, food values,
selection as toiBbaltty^br other phases
of the subject of meat, may bring
local high school girls within reach of
/a university - scholarship 'cash
award if—they can transfer ; this
knowledge to paper.
High school home economics teach
ers have just received formal an
nouncement of the Fifth National
Meat Story Contest. The contest is
held annually in high schools of the
United States under the sponsorship of
the National Live Stock and Meat
Board. It has the indorsement'of col
lege home economics head^ and other
leaders of the field who look upon it
a«» a valuable educational project.
Interi'st in the contest has increas
ed each year, it is said. Last y^ar
approximatedy 14,000 girls from high
schools in every State of the union
competed and the Board expects that
even a larger number will be enroil-
..ed in the present corrupt. As in the
past, the distribution of prizes ‘ is
arranged so that girls in every Sta f e
will be among the winners. Miss
Rosa Gertrude Schmidt, of Moores-
town, N. J., .won the national cham
pionship last ytar.,
The present contest will close on
„ March 15', according tp the announee-
| ment. Judging of the the stories will

SWEET IODINE.’
Over in Barnwell iT is .said the pu
pils of the high school are singing
new words to the old tune of “Sweet
Adeline 1 — which. was -the-- song of a
generation, ago. This time it is the
meaningful word substituted for
“Adeline,” w’hlch is “iodine.” Recent-
ly there has been much said and
s
Written about the iodine contents of
foWH crops grown in coastal South
Carolina, partfctirailv in the Edisto-
Savannah rivers^ section. It is said
that; food crops growh here if eaten
by people anywhere show their fine
qualities in good health and longevity
and particularly in the absence of
glandular diseases, goitr^ being par
ticularly unknown in coastal Carolina.
All this has been broughtout since
the organization of the'Edisto^Savan-
nah Rivers Development' Asociation;
and through visits of Dr. William
Weston, a noted expert on food co
tents, to the meetings held over this
section. Over in Barnwell there is a
* ^
mighty fine man and loyal, public-
spirited citizen who has a keen sense
of humor with overflowing wit. Col.
Harry Calhoun has arranged a parody
on “Sweet Adeline” and has introduc
ed the song in v ^he Barnwell schools.
It is reported that “Sweet Iodine” has
overnight become as popular as ever
was “Sweet Adeline.” * 4
The following is Col. Calhoun’s ver
sion:
