Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. Questions and Answers. During the past few weeks, I have received numerous questions from the love-sick and heart-broke readers of “Nobody's Business/* Really and truly those requests should have gone to Dorothy Dix, but since these folks selected me, I will do my best, so here goes: Q. My mother insists that my pres, ent sweetheart is a flapper and she detests flappers. I do not agree with her. How can I tell whether or not Sudie Lee <bles 8 her dear aoul) is a flapper? I. C. Ans.

Uncle Joe’s Sammie got hard up one night not long ago and fell in the same coal bin and they kept him in jail for 30 days for swiping coal. I had a lucky cousin once: A mule kicked him so hard, it left him bent in the exact shape to fit a rocking chair, so he bought himself a nice rocking chair and has not hit a lick’s work since. He had that mule’s pic ture enlarged and framed and now it graces his sitting room. J. C. Folk. Mist Elo.se, Miae Gladys, Mie s Maytie Hodges, returned to their home In Oconee, Ga.

In 1918, according to a story in the Newberry Herald and News, Mr. Charlie Long decided that he would never plant another stalk of cotton because of the losses he had sustain ed in growing it. He assembled a herd of grade cow s and began to sup ply butter to Newberry College. He used his farm to grow and supply pas tures. He stocked hit farm with •even pure bred Poland China hogs. From this start he has gradually grown into the livestock business and made his farm provide an income every week ia the year.

ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel. GINNING NOTICE! The State Is Right. The State is right when it says that ■“the people of South Carolina should not have to wait until that time when Colonel Keith is elected governor.” reference being to the Greenville candidate’s repeated declaration on the stump that he “won’t sign any bonds, if elected governor, as long as Op Jones, John P. Grace, of Charles ton, and John T. Stevens, of Lancas ter, are members of the highway commission.” The inference is that "there is something rotten in Den mark” in connection with the high way commission, which is charged with the expenditure of $65,000,000 during the next four years.
