THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1930.
Boy, page Ripley. Believe it or not,
a football game was broadcast Satur
day afternoon by Station WIS in
Columbia!
The weather during the past ten
days makes our people really appre
ciate the county’s system of hard-
aurfaced highways. No matter how
hard it rains, it is still possible to
“go places.”
Our good friend, J. D. Davis, who
lives a few miles from Barnwell, is
one of the few farmers in this sec
tion who are not complaining about
hard times. Mr. Davis says he i g in
“good shape.” Incidentally, he lives
at home and boards at the same
place.
G. Chalmers McDermid, who contri-
bute« Uhe “Hopocatrucf* eopumn in
The People-Sentinel each week, gives
Barnwell County farmers a 'pat on the
back in this Issue. He says that
# aome the best asparagus crown
beds he ha 8 seen this year are in this
county. In fact, he goes further and
says that the beds are better than
many fieldg of two-year old aspara
gus. With Barnwell County leading
the way In go many instances, it does
seem that our farmers should be in
better shape financially.
when he was named to the office of
Chief Head Chopper of the U. S. S R.
We owned two of the finest dogs that
ever switched a tail or scratched a
flea. Their names were Taylor and
Pennie.
Old Taylor was a big yellow dog
that would be called a common cur
today. He was possibly a very lazy
dog to some folks, but he was “greae-
ed lightning” to us boys. Pennie was
a cross betwixt a flee and a beagle.
His chassis swung very low, and he
possessed a stream-line body and al
ways ran with his cut-out wide open
when he was in sight of his prey. He
was almost a dog-and-a-half long.
The worst whipping I ever got was
tended to me by my good mother when
she found out that I had stolen her
big Thanksgiving day pound-cake and
fed it to Taylor and Pennie and my
self. All three of u 8 enjoyed that
cake, but I was • the only one that
couldn’t sit down comfortably for
nearly a month. I remember now how
good that thick icing was on that
cake; they don’t make ’em that a-way
since bridge and automobiles arrived.
Nobody’s Business
By Gee McGee.
Back Yowler When Dog* Was Dogs.
When I was a boy, a dog stood
higher in my estimation than Trotsky
stood in the estimation of Stanloski
When me and Taylor and Pennie
“jumped” a rabbit, that meant that
some mamma rabbit was on the verge
of losing an offspring. Why, a rabbit
dident have any more show with us
than a Democrat now -stands getting a
post office if he’s broke. Most of the
rabbits who knew of us usually look
ed back and saw who we were, and
then and there laid down and poked
their hind feet up for me to take
hold of.
Rabbit fur was knee deep all around
our wood-pile from August till Feb
ruary. I guess you folks know that
wobbles begin to imbed themsleves in
rabbits about that time, and then
they ain’t fit to be eaten. (Now the
descendants of those fine little animals
are afflicted with tuferema, and that’s
bad on them and worse on the folks.)
But both of them dogs finally went
mad and left me, and I have never
been very fond of dogs since that.
How to Behave at a Party.
1. Wear the finest clothes that you
can possibly buy on credit, rent or
borrow.
2. If your car has not been re
possessed, have it washed and polish
ed and shined up, let your chauffeur
(husband) drive right up to the front
steps and assist you out, and then he
can drive back home and park the
car and walk over.
much bull as possible into the ears of
strangers: one of them occasionally
will be stumbled upon that will be
lieve what you say, then commence to
hid everpbody a very pleasant Adieu,
Bon Voyage, or Good Night, just as
your tempermental brain might sug
gest to you. On the way home, and
after you get home, by all means—
criticize everything that you tasted,
heard, smelt, felt, imagined, saw or
didn’t see at the party, and then go on
to bed—where you should have gone
at first. ' f
Jimmie Byrnes Again.
3. Just a s . soon as you enter the
drawing room (that’s what they call
the sitting room when it and the front
bed-room are thrown together), strut
your stuff right down the line, shak
ing hands with your friends and ene
mies, always holding the said hands
at least 15 inche s above your head
and their heads.
The usual modus opperandi of me
and these 2 dog s was about a s fol
lows: When the rabbit was scented
by either'of us, we all 3 stopped.
Taylor took up the trail and so did I.
That dog was a runner, but he never
did get very far ahead of me. Pennie
would smel| around a little while and
decide which way that rabbit was
coming back in its circle, and he
would hide behind a tree and grab
him a few minuteg later when he
tried to pasg by in high. Rabbits al
ways come back to their starting point
unless ketched in the interim.
4. And don’t forget to say—“Why-
er, how-dy-doo,” with a heavy accent
on the “doo.” After you are sure
that everyone has seen you and your
! frock and your Woolworth diamonds,
J by all means walk around-and-arounj
looking as much like a fool as pos
sible, endeavoring at all time? to try
to look pretty in the face ansoforth,
which you can’t do.
At one time, the government
thought seriously of deporting me
and our 2 dogs. We were simply de-
ciminating those hares too rapidly.
During the last State Democratic
primary the friends of James F.
Byrnes, then candidate for the United
States Senate, consistently referred to
his enviable record of sixteen years in
Congress, and what an effective Sena
tor he would make. The Columbia
Record was among this number, and'
it said then what it believed, ljut con
fession is made that it did not know
| fully what a hold now-Senator-elect
Byrnes had in Washington. Several
things have come to light since to
cause congratulations upon the re
placement in the United States Sen
ate.
Many probably read with interest
the letter published yesterday in The
Columbia Record from Frank R. Kent,
Washington correspondent of The
Baltimore Sun and published first in
that paper. Mr. Kent is one of the
greatest newspaper correspondents of
the country. To reach this standing
one may not do so unless he has great
discriminating judgment, unless he is
perfectly fair and honest and unless
he can picture men a? they are. He
is now fifty-three years old. A
Baltimorean by birth he has sympathy
for the South and a^desire for its wel
fare,, but without siibh local attach
ments a 3 would cause him to be un
duly partial. What he says ma y
Sure Enough.
An Emporin man's car struck the
rear of a car driven by a woman.
“Didn’t you see me stick out my
hand?” the woman asked.
“No, I didn’t, Miss,” he replied.
“We d been my leg you’d
have seen it,” ghe replied, and drove
away.
