It is said that deaf mutes can feel
music. So do we, but we couldn’t
print just how we feel about some of
it.

The fellow who said “trutli is
stranger than fiction” referred only
to the fiction that had been written up
to that time.
A French chef declares that music
furnishes the inspiration for his most
appetizing dishes. A jazz band should
inspire a wondeiful new brand of hash.
A health writer avers that ‘‘a per
fect knee h a wonderfully construct
ed hinge.” A good many have no
ticed that since the advent of short
skirts.
A Paris court has ruled that a wife
has no right to open her husband’s
letter*. Unfortunately, wives in Am
erica are not within that court’s juris
diction.
The Itadio Bill.
After having killed a bill to place a
tax of $1 on all radio sets in South
Carolina, the revenue to lie used for
the support of the State tuberculosis
sanitarium in Columbia, the bill has
been revived, with a graduated tax on
ladios ranging from 50 cents to $2.50.
This may be a good bill, but what
connection is there between radios and
tuberculosis in South Carolina? If
they be the prime cause of that dread
disea-e, then we are in favor of tax
ing them out of existence, but from
the viewpoint of most radio owners it
will appear as class legislation. Radio
sets are already subject to the person-'
al property tax and in this way bear
their share of the cost of government,
whether the money be appropriated
for the support of the tuberculosis
sanitarium or “expense money” for
the legislators who apparently rack
their brains to find “now source* of
revenue,” while they give little hoed
to the cry of the people for reduced
operating expenses.
If the State tuberculosis sanitarium
be in need of more funds, by all means
make the necessary appropriation,
but let the money come out of the
pockets of ALL the taxpayers.
The propagation of foyl bills is an
other reason why we favor biennial

Uncle Joe thinkg that if any set of
folks in the world ought to strike it’s
the farmers. He told me about Mr.
Brown’s 3 boys: Jim is a railroad en
gineer and gets $350.00 per month.
Sam i s a plasteier and gets $14.00 a
day. Ike is a farmer, and an all-round

Uncle Joe commenced on taxes. He
hit our legislatcrs a few licks. He
seemed soured on taking the schools
out of the countiy and moving them
to town. He thought la-t year’s
crops were absolutely stolen from the
farmers. He predicted harder times
and blamed mucfi of the unemploy
ment on installment buying and high-
charity, or better still—see how’ his

The reason th^t there is so much
stealing going on nowadays is—it
costs lots of money to run automo

the man ain’t paying him all he’s

the government is working on the
wrong end of the farmer. They are
dosing him for a severe headache
when, as a matter of fact, he has in
growing toe nails. (The government
wants to help him sell it but ain’t in
terested in how much it costs him to
grow it.)
Now Uncle Joe could be right. He
thinks Uncle Sam ought to help the
farmer produce a cheap crop rather
than force him to grow a high-priced
crop to he sold at low prices. In fact.

I asked Uncle Joe how he thought
the government could help the farmer
and he started out: “Well, they are
letting Muscle Shoals do the shimmy
for fear they will hurt big business.
What the farmer needs is low-priced
fertilizer, cheaper cleavises, lower
plow points, lower harness, and lower
taxes. What about 12-cent cotton and
30-eent plow lines?”
1 told Uncle Joe that the govern
ment had its hands full looking after
its own affairs and could not afford
to be meddling with share croppers
and mortgaged farms and grafters.
Uncle Joe thought the tariff was the
whole trouble. He could-not see why
a plow-share that cost Bethlehem

to fetch 6 cents a pound just because

Another peculiar situation that is
evolving is—the legs qf the present
generation t are becoming numb and
number from lack of exercise, due, of
course, to the persistent use of auto
mobiles which naturally makes the
legs useless for the purpose of locomo
tion. We predict that the children of
future generations will never attempt
to learn to walk. They will begin rid

will ride right on to the cemetery,

A Business College
for Barnwell.
THERE WILL BE established in Barnwell about April 1st a modern and up-to-date
Business College, offering complete courses of study in preparation for Stenographic
Bookkeeping and Secretarial positions. Office rooms have been secured and are now be
ing put in condition., All the necessary equipment will be installed by March 31st, and
classes will begin on the following day.
• * i
THERE ARE MANY advantages in taking a course at home, both for the parents
and for the student. The boarding expense in most cases will be cut entirely out and the
school will be under the constant observation of patrons. The enrollment will be limited
to twenty-five students, which will make it possible for every one who attends to be indi
vidually trained, where in larger schools it is impossible to give individual training on a<N
count of the larger niimber enrolled.
THE SCHOOL will operate as a branch of the Orangeburg College of Commerce and
will be conducted by certified instructors from that school. Those who enroll will be is
sued life scholarships, offering free reviews in the future and assistance in securing po
sitions. The time required to complete a course is four and one-half months, but an al
lowance of two weeks is given making the term five months.
J - . ■ . ' * •
THE COURSES OFFERED are in every particular standard, and the requirements
for graduation are similar to any standard business college. Our complete services are:
Individual Attention, Life Scholarships, Diplomas upon Graduation, Typist Certificates,
Shorthand Certificates and Assistance in Securing Positions.
ENROLLMENTS will be taken for any or all of the following subjects: Gregg
Shorthand, Touch Typewriting, Business English, Business Correspondence, Penmanship
and Spelling, Twentieth Century Bookkeeping, Business Arithmetic, Rapid Calculation
Machine Bookkeeping, Salesmanship and Business Efficiency. Allied with these are Fil
ing, Invoicing and Office Practice.
LET US SHOW YOU how to prepare for a better position^ Call our representative,
MR. KING, at the Hotel Diamond, Phone 128, or call in person for a full explanation.
