Never atari anything your wife can’t wUl Few are so deaf as to miss a whisper of scandal. Modern blue sky laws take the form of airplane regulations. A woman cant run as fast ag a man, but she generally catches him. Just when everybody agreed that stocks counldn’t go any lower they did. The fellow who really has inside information usually keepg it that way. We agree with President Hoover’s idea of freedom for food. Also free food. Appearances are often deceiving. A stick of dynamite looks harmlefs ’The truth shall make you free,” sometimes. Oftener it would send folks to jail. Byrd will probably find that at the Booth Pole the prevailing wind is from the north. , We are not in favor of those schools for salesmen. They sell us too much staff now. ^The French are said to dislike dis tinctive American dishes—such as French fried potatoes. Restrictions on importation of foreign nuts is advocated. Another good idea that came a little late. Thaaksgiriaf Day. The first Thanksgiving Day observe* in America was that proclaimed by ’ Governor Bradford of Plymouth colony 1 in 1621, the year following the landing of the Pilgrims. During colonial days similar observances were held on various occasions. president Washington by proclama tion set November 26, 1789, a s M day of general thanksgiving, but during the early history of the Republic such obnarvances were irregular, and the several States generally set their own dates for holding them. It was not until 1864, under Presi dent Lincoln, that the last Thursday in November was settled upon as Thanksgiving Day throughout the United States. The fixing of thig date is, said to hnve been largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, an American author, who began agitating for a uniform annual date about 1840. Each your ahe wrote to all State governors •aking that they name the last Thurs day in November, and gradually they fall in with the idea. On the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving Day wild turkey formed the chief con- atituent of the feast, and ever since turkey has been inseparably associat- ad with the day’s observance. No Lack of Words. , How often do we find difficulty in 'thinking of just the right word to e*. a cat tain idea ? Even fhe grest- ast writers must often stop to weigh their words in order to hit upon *he most appropriate one, while few spank ers can observe all the nicit'es of ex- lion without writing out their •peaches and memorizing them before hand. These difficulties sxe not due to any lack of words in the English language, however. Possibly it may be a result of our having too many to choose from. The latest unabridge i diction- *ries contain more than 400,000 words, and the list is increasing constantly. Noah Webster's first dictionary, published in *829^ contained only about TIMMO words; the ed tion o* 1864 in- 114,000; that of 1890 about 175,- I, at compared with the 400,000 re word* of today. A leading it xicographer estimates the educated person of fa*r abili- mderatands on an average about words, hut Lttfl only a small of that number in either speak- ittef. The meat of the peo- at kps than 8,000 words The Birds Are Roosting High CITATION NOTICE. -7, ij:*v *\\* The State of South Carolina, County of Barnwell. By Johr.' K. Snelling, Esq., Probate Judge. WHEREAS, Sufrena Reed hath made suit to me to grant unto her Letters of Administration of the Es tate of and effects of York Stansell; THESE ARE, THEREFORE, to cite and admonish all and singular the kindred and creditors of the said York Stansell, deceased, that they be and appear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at Barnwell, S.

Given under my Hand this 19th day of November, A. D. 1929. JOHN K. SNELLING, Judge of Probate, Barnwell Co. Published on the 21st day of Novem ber, 1929, in The People-Sentinel. An interesting experiment is to in spect a few pages of an unabridged dictionary an l count how many words out of a hundred you are really famil iar with, both a s to meat*ing and spelling. Try it. Savings and Autoa. Had Given Up Hope State* Mrs. Gregg “After 7 years suffering when I had given up hope of ever being well again, Sargon brought back ray strength and restored me to splendid health! 666 —A It a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria. It it the most speedy remedy known. Statistics are not very entertaining, as a rule, but a comparison of how people of different sections of the county save and spend is rather inter esting. Based on figures compiled by the Department of Commerce, a tabulation has been made of the proportionate amounts represented by savings de posits and automobiles owned in var iou, sections of the United States. It is shown that the New England States have 16.56 per cent of the savings, but only 6.07 per cent of the automobiles of the country; middle Atlantic States, 35.71 per cent of the savings and 25.25 per cent of the automobiles; west north central States, 9.70 and 16.61; south Atlantic, 6 and 8.59; past south central 2.30 and 41.02; west south central, 1.91 and 8.35; mountain, 1.55 and 3.53; Pacific, 8 22 and 10.71. These figures appear to indicate the gieatcr thriftines* of the East,* as compared with the West and South. Whether one section or another is happier because of the tendency to save or spend is difficult to deter mine. Some folks contemplate a sav ing, account with great satisfaction; others fill up the old gasoline buggy and cast care to the winds. It all de pends on one’s point of view. MRS. ELIZABETH GREGG.

JONES, “Nearly everything I ate caused a sickening, lumpy feeling in my stom ach and often brought on vomiting. My neck glands were painful and swol len, and rheumatism settled in my shoulders and limbs all the way down to my ankles. My liver was sluggish and I was almost continually taking laxatives. I commenced taking Sar gon and I could feel its strengthening effects right from the start. I have finished my second bottle, my diges- tion is perfect and every ache and pain has left my body! Sargon Pills toned my liver, for he first time in years I am free of constipation. I will pra'se this wonderful treatment as long as I live.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Gregg, 1401 Lower St., Columbia, S.
