Correct thia sentence: “He stated that the leaves were a delicious food tasting like spinach.’* A suicide in a Columbia hotel left a note in which he wrote these words: “Basted—to hell with Hoover and posperity.” that every radio set owner in well write the company and request that an effort be made to locate and remove the caase of the interference.

Barnwell is to have a town primary election in which the candidates are unopposed. President Hoover will probably go down in history as another “Great Liberator.” He has freed the work ing men of their jobs. The present period of financial de pression seems to be general through out the United States. A subscriber in Denver, Colorado, writes The Peo ple-Sentinel that 9,000 working peo ple are said to be without jobs in that city.

WWW Nobody’s Business Candidate Blease, seeking reelection to the United States Senate, cham pions lynching for one crime and is applauded. Candidate Herbert, seek ing the governorship, denounces lynch ing for any crime and receives let ters threatening his life. Whither are we drifting? “In a new, item in last Monday’s Record, it was erroneously stated that company waa nine years old. The company in reality is almost forty years old, the patented roof point having been formulated in 1882. .... It was also stated that a three-year guarantee was given every job. The guarantee is fdt four yeers, — The Columbia Record, we preeume that the item entirely correct By Gee McGee. Who Pays His Preacheer. Sammie Jones told me that he lost so many golf balls during March, April, May and June that he didn't have a cent left to pay on his grocery bills. W anted:—A Place to Park. • W r hen times get to hard that folks will chew less tobacco and smoke fewer cigarettes and quit scroudging at picture shows and do lees joy-rid ing, then and only then will we prick up our ears and take notice. Col. W H. Keith, candidate for gover nor, should sxplain thed iff trance in the Ututionality of the State bond and the constitutionality of a county bond issue under a reimburse ment agreement with the State high way department, both They Hhve Not Merged. It is not true that the Cottonseed Crushers association intends to change its name to the Jesae James Cotton seed Products Corporation. They want the public generally and the farmers specially to strictly understand that they paid qll that they had to pay for cottonseed last fall and thia spring and that was nearly half what they were worth. So stop grumbling, please. W e Look For Lower T»iee. Politics are on the verge of warm ing up in our community. Loafer Lott has recently dyed his mustache being passed and he was caught singing in the without having been submitted to a choir at the Fourth Baptist church vote of the people Greenville, the la*: Sabbath. He’a planning to an- eolonel's home county, issued road munce for something. And 4 other bonds in this manner. Consistency men have been seen shaking hands should go hand in hand with constitu tionality. In an open letter addressed to Messrs. Keith and McMahan, “avowed and flaming champion* of 'decent gov ernment,’" The State says: “Now, gentlemen, the report comes to us, repeatedly and insistently, that while you are charging back and forth and, doubtless inadvertently, diverting at tention from live issues of government In which the masses hav« vital inter est, certain elements—notably those making financial killings through the operation of gambling devices, and bootleggers—are mobilizing for the concentration of support upon one candidate for governor. We have not sought this information, but it has come persistently, and literally “from the mountains to the sea’—with, per haps, the accent on the sea.” Again we ask: “Whither are we drifting?” Station WIS. We heartily wish that we could con gratulate Station WIS, the new radio broadcasting station in Columbia, but ao far as thig section’s listeners-in are concerned it is a flop at this writing. Power of only 500 watts at night is not sufficient to bring in the programs very clearly above the crashes of static and “local interference” that most "vigoroualy” on the streets here of late and 1 of them took up 3 bad check* he had about town, there fore snd notwithstanding, we look for quite a large number of morons to try to get on the taxpayers payroll where work is unnecessary and a job is the thing. Relics of the World War. A railroad company apparently en joys some unusual rights and privile ges, for instance:: They can haul a shipment of stuff for you from a dis tance of 200 miles and use up from 5 to 15 days in doing so, to your hurt and worry, and when it arrives (Anal ly) and spends 15 minutes over 24 hours in its big empty freight depot, they charge you storage at the rate of about 25 cents per hundred pounds, per day. Their rules and regulations are as stern and unbreakable as the law of the Medes and Persians and not even common sense is allowed to stand in the way of their hewing to the line, hence—our highways are filled with freight trucks and passenger buses—thanks to the Inter-State Commerce Commission. Please Tell Me Why. I don’t understand a few things, for instance: I paid 5 cents for an out-of-town Sunday paper last Sab bath. There happened to be an ar ticle in that paper that I wanted a pester radio fans in these parts. It friend of mine to read and he lived is to be houed that the Federal Radio I in the town where the said paper was Commission will son grant the station 1 printed, so I mailed that paper to the right to increase its power. Un til that is done, it will be nothing snore nor leas than a “local’* station. The same is true of the stations at Charleston and Spartanburg. Why is ft that South Carolina cant have at least one station the equal of the best xm the air? And while we art on this subject of radio, why can’t the South Carolina him and I had to affix 14 cents in stamps to same before Uncle Sam would haul it. Another thing that gets beyond me is—why does 1 cents worth of rhubarb and 1 cents worth of easesra mixed with 6 ounces of plain water and poured into a 1-cent bottle and marked “shake before us ing”—fetch fl.2fi at the beet drug stores? v . I wens a gated and a filling station. And business was e> booming. A friend is the guy who will en dorse four note and pay it when it matures and then speak to you pleasantly the next day. I have yet to see a man who has jake paralysis that drank over a half pint of the fluid that caused it. They never explain what became of the balance of the case which contained 48 bottles to begin with. Deacon Sithers has n religion that is adjustable, resilient, incontestable, automatic and convenient. He wears it on Sunday, he can stretch it go’s he can take a drink on Monday, nobody is willing to say that he hasn’t got any, he can play poker on Tuesday night and pray in public Wednesday night, and he can shprt weight you on Thursday, short change you on Friday, out-trade you on Saturday, and still sit in the amen corner Sab bath morning and look so pious he’s pitiful. Speaking of the whisky queestion: Wouldn’t it be nice to get into a large tri-motored 24-passenger airplane and find out after you had gotten up into the elementa a distance of, say, 2 miles,-and then discover that your pilot was about 4 sheets in the wind and was continuing to take a “swag” ever and anon? But if the pigs must have slop, the government ought to slop ’em; however—we have entirelyj too few poor houses and jails and penitentiaries and orphanages snd asylums at this time to permit “con- venieflt booze to return. the ex ; it closed at t p. ra n daylight saving time, hence we advise forsak ing your crops. Jackson J. Greene P The death of Jackson J. Greene, which occurred Friday evening of last week at 6:15 o’clock in a Colum bia hospital, was a great sorrow to his many relatives and friends. He had been in ill health for the past two years and until he was carried to the hospital had been a great sufferer. There, under the watchful care of good doctors and attentive nurses, his suffering was relieved, biit he gradu ally greSv weaker until the end came peacefully Friday evening. His body was laid to rest in the Ashley ceme tery, Dr. W. M. Jones conducting jhe funeral services in the presence of a large concourse of relatives pnd friends. “Jack” Greene, as he was familiarly known, was a v good man, ji^nest and true to his friends, and by reason of these virtues he numbered them by the score. He never married and is survived by four sisters and two brothers, as follows: Mrs. Georgia G. McArthur and Mrs. Mary G. Baxley, of Vidalia, Ga., Mrs. John K. Snelling and Miss Dora Greene, of Barnwell, William J. Greene and Dixon Greene, of Williston. ' No Election at Meyer’s Mill. Uncle Joe aaya he has beeen going down hill for 4 or 5 years. Instead of paying off the mortgage oa hia farm, he bought a car. He purchaaed a radio instead of a cow. He had to hsve a set of casings and therefore couldn’t pay hta taxes. He should have remodeled kis residence, but Sammie went to collage. He needed 8 good mules but Aunt Mi nervy con vinced him that a piano wns the thing to buy. His land all*needed ter racing, but ha bought lightning rods instead of a terracing plow. He swapped 4 pigs for 2 po' dies. He exchanged bia stove for a range and still owes $126.00 to boot. And the Jonses continue to expand. Uncle Joe don’t believe be can keep up with them much longer. Skimming*. The world is full of useless things. A useless thing is either n nuisance or an unnecessary expense. Among the things that we could easily do without are these: 1. An appendix. Investigating committees. Warts. Government farm relieef. Whiskers. Federal bureaus. Flies. Speed cops. Wisdom teeth. Deadbeats. Straw votes. Grafters. Spinach. Ansoforth. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 12. 14. In last week’s issue of The People- Sentinel it was stated that a successor to the late Judge B. W. Peeples, Mag istrate it Meyer’s Mill, would be ap pointed for the unexpired term, and that the list would be reopened to al low candidates to file {fledges to run for the full term. The Delegation last week recom- meryded -the appointment of G. R. Peeples, son of Judge Peeples, for the unexpired term, but was inform ed by the Governor that, under the law. Magistrates had to be appointed for a full two years term, and that the Governor could not commission a Magistrate for a shorter term. Hence young Mr. Peeples was appointed for the term of two years, and there will be no eloetkm held in that district this rammer. * Cotton Letter.
