Well, at least there’s no mistaking the views of Claud M. Aman, candi date for Congress, on the prohibition question. Mr. Aman refuses to “pussy-foot” on this question and ad vocates repealing or modifying the “noble experiment.” p,-. / The News and Courier has made a Valiant though apparently fruitless ef fort to tie the candidacy of W. W. Smoak, of Walterboro, to the prohi bition faction of South Carolina, if indeed there be such a faction. The prohibitionists, however, refuse to be tied to the WaKerboro candidate and claim that should he be defeated it Vrfll not prove that Sooth Carolina is “wet.” We are inclined to take this view, as many prohibitionists in this neck of the woods will vote for candi- fdates other than Mr. Smoak. The Preee Association. lifer- fg'*: By Gee McGee. Who’s Who and How. If he has a straw stuck in his louth and is cussing the speculator, he's a farmer. If be is bareheaded and his shirt -tail is hanging out in three places and Ilia socks are supporterless, hell a lisard. If he walks down the street with a smile on his face and his pocket chocked full of papers, he’s an install- If he recommends himself highly to the people and talks 'about the down-trodden laboring class Sand shakes hands venomously with every person he meets and raves about rich folks getting richer and poor folka get ting poorer, he’s a politician. If he ig seen about town only at night and complains about the high cost of fruit jars and whispers a great deal to Dick, Tom and Harry, and pays cash rather than give checks and de mands the same from others, he’g a bootlegger. But if she lounges around the house all morning in a kimono with her head wrapped up in a towel and lets the kids get off to school without being properly prepared both mentally and physically, she’g a mighty sorry wife and mother and housekeeper—and the old man is hen-pecked. ‘ The People-Sentinel was represent- Ud at the annual meeting of the South Carolina Presg Association in Char leston last week by Mrs. B. P. Davies, lira. Louise Bauer, Billie Davies and the editor. Leaving Barnwell early Thursday morning, the party arrived at the Isle of Palms in time to join the other delegates for a boat trip across Charleston harbor and up the Cooper River to the Navy Yard, where they were guests of Admiral vMcCully, Retruning to Sullivan’s Is land the newapaper people and their friends were entertained with a regu lar army dinner, the hosts being the New a and Courier and the Evening Post. It was at this time that an ad mirable address was made by David Lawrence, editor of the United States Daily and one of the foremost men in America today. Mr. Lawrence is a forceful speaker and give hie audi- •nee much food for thought in hig dis cussion of economic condhions at home and abroad. In the afternoon, the press party again boarded a government launch and visited historic old Fort Sumter— a hallowed spot to South Carolinians. A businesg session was held Friday morning, at which time a short me morial service was also held in honor of the memory of August Kohn, treas urer and former president of the press association, the news of whose death the day before brought sadness to the hearts of his fellow members. At this meeting the association was ad dressed by Mr. Allen, a representative of the Mergenthaler Linotype Com pany, who discussed the mske-up of a newspaper. The closing business •ession was held that afternoon, at which time Mrs. Allen made an inter esting talk. ' The meeting was brought to a fit ting climax by a banquet tendered by the South Carolina National Bank to the followers of the Fourth Estate. During the evening, talks were made a number of gentlemen and vocal and instrumental music added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. A fUhing trip had been arranged for lUturdty morning, but due to the audden change in the weather, which turned very cold and disagreeable, this<trip was called off. At an early hour, various members of the associa tion began to “check out,” and by late afternoon all had departed for their homes, carrying with them pleasant memories of hospitality, new friend-’ ships made and old ones renewed. However, if she rides around all day in her daddy’s “one-third down and balance on easy terms’’ and frequents drug stores frequently and has no in terest in her home or her church or her neighbors, she’s a flapper, and it will take a long stretch of matrimony to fetch her to her senses. If she use 8 the terms: “I heard” and “They say” and “Don’t tell any body I told you” and “I smelt a rat last week” and “John said” and “Last night and this morning,” she's a gos- sipper and should have her phone and tongue taken out at once. But if he and she both speak of our fine children and our good preacher and our excellent choir and our won derful school system and our little home and our delightful neighbors and our good friends and our patient- and-efficient doctor and how pretty the whole world is with fier flowers and sunshine and showers, they are the salt of the earth and deserve to be loved and respected. (The End.) When You Get Into Politics They Say: “Well, I think Bill Smith ia a pretty good fellow, but he orders all of his clothes and shoes from Spears and Jo- buck, and he let an out-of-town man fix his dog house last summer.” “I meant to vote for Sam Hipps, but I just heard that his great-grand- daddy was a Tory, and it would be a dangerous thing to put such a man into the office of treasurer.” “I notice that Peter Billiken is out for Mayor. He has made a mistake. He shaves himself, and that means that the barbers will fight him. He walks to work, and the street car folks have it in for him. His wife’s cousin is a Catholic and that is enough for the Baptists to fight him on. Nope, he can't make it.” “Jule Smoots is possibly all right to run a bank, but he is a high-hatter. And he drinks some at night, and I heard this morning that he refused to buy any War Savings stamps in 19 and 17. The Methodists will scratch him because he doesn’t believe that Jonah actually swallowed the whale. Looks lige he would have more sense than to run for congress.” - x •• “Guess you heard that Mike Strong whipped his wife about 20 year s ago while he#was living out West? Well, they say he did that thing. And fur thermore he believes in evolution: that kills him with the Presbyterians, and his oldest son hag jake paralysis, and he won’t get a single prohibition ist vote. And he ain’t fit for the legis lature nohow. He don’t pay no taxes except the poll and the dog. He’s al ready beat.” “I thought old mafi Bulldozer was a fine man until he came out for the sen ate. He broke up 5 different bird’s nests when he was a boy, and he snores in his sleep, he eats with his front teeth, he won’t let his girls run around at night, and he owed the Last National Bank a note for $11.00 when it busted. He won’t get the vote of his kinfolks—as he endorsed and paid notes for nearly every one of them.” up the street with s So, friends, when you enter politics you invite the smut toters and the gos- sippers and the “they aay” folks to riddle you and your family and your character. and their religion from Adam to last night They will talk about you and your dog and your debts and your everything also, and the went pun of Un whofc $04 it— It is doubtful if Spilt Milk ig worth any more today than- it was yesterday, or that it will be worth any more next week than it was last year, but when the gamblers run it up from 75 to 100, that increased the value of pilt Milk speculatively in the sum of $250,000, but mebbe the company ain’t even making expenses, much less a divi dend, but who cares. ri L Walfat To illustrate: WalfStreet could put 10,000 plain bricks in a pen and name those brick Split Silk and Bevo com mon and Jackass preferred and Tad pole 5s, and the gamblers could buy and sell them just as well and as sat isfactorily as if these bricks were real stocks and bonds. Nobody much cares anything about owning those stocks (bricks), what they want is some suck er to buy them for more than they cost the seller. The pile of bricks need not grow larger or smaller. Buying and selling stocks don't increase or decrease the real value of the manufacturing plant that issued t))e atock. Take a dog, for instance: His tail don’t make him run any faster or smell a rabbit’s track any keener, but it’s fine for wag gling purposes; and stocks that are bought and sold everyday on the stock exchange mean exactly to the com pany that lithographed them what the tail means to the dog. Bull Snort common sold as high as 455 last fall on the board, and Bull Snort was paying only a 2 per cent, annual dividend. When the crash came, according to Sammie Knowall, none of those high-priced stocks were owned by the presidents and treasur ers and directors of the companies whose stocks were being exploited. Why should they not sell out at 375 and buy back at 75? They might need a few shares all along to keep them selves elected. Where there’s big money, it’s trad ing. Where it’s dimes and pennies, it’s gambling. When you lose, it’s specu lating. When you win, it’s big bus! ness. The average small trader(?) in the south who sends good money north to try to beat the game has just about as much chance to win as a grub worm has of becoming a rattlesnake. Yet, they got our State for aboqt $14,500,- 000.00 last fall. ...SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKING • y GRACE VIALL GRAY “IT IS SMART TO BE THRIFTY” By using Inexpensive foods rather than the more expensive ones, we can cut our food bills considerably. For instance, there are many (lelicious In expensive cuts of meat that gives us the same nourishment ns the expen sive choice cuts. If these cuts are properly prepared and then cooked and served attractively, we are not depriving our family of good food even if we pre saving money. >Milk Is one of our best foods and when the food value is considered. It is an inexpensive one. Use milk In all forms and In all possible ways. But- Add Mgar an4. continue to until the granules have dis solved, add the unbeaten egg and beet until Mended. Add tie flour and the milk alternately, then the flavoring. Fold the flour In quickly and gently, handling as little as possible. Pour into a well-greased |*n and bake In a moderate oven—350 degrees Fahren heit—thirty minutes. This makes one large or two small layer cakes. This economy cake makes an inexpensive hut elaborate dessert when served as ‘Washington pie. that Is, baked In two layers, with a cream fUllnp placed between layers and whipped cream on top. / ^ rVfldag History All the vikings to about the year 1000, with few exceptions, were pa gans.

Milk can be used as the basis in soups, Id white sauce for vege tables and left-over meats, and in many desserts as custards, puddings and souffles. Self-rising flour Is economical. It Is cheaper to have the manufacturer combine flour, salt and baking powder thab for each individual housewife to do so, for the miller gives the house wife the advantage of car-lot. prices on these materials. Fewer eggs are required when using self-rising flour for cakes, cookies and maffins. Use' only 1 egg for each one and one-half cupfuls of self-rising flour In butter cakes.
