THURSDAY, JULY 7TH, 1932. ’Most any time now we expect to hear President Hoover declaim that this is a depression to end depres sions. th e common people isn’t now con trolled by “big business,” with whom he has been closely affiliated for some years. At any rate, he has again proved th e truth of the statement that “poli tical gratitude is for favors yet to come.” When Staith and McAdoo buried the hatchet, they evidently left the handle .sticking out, judging from what McAdoo did to Smith a t the Chicago convention. Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. Lost ar.1 Found. Th e dead body of a very fat man was^found out in Colorado th e other day by a snipe hunter. This carcass was partially petrified.

My breakfasts consists of cakes and coffee and a gobbler of orange juice. They store tp/if silverware on the dining room tables; I have ^t . my plate the following utipsels: 1 prong ed baby fork and 2 more, 2 knives, 3 forks, 4 spoons, 2 ladles, spoons. So far I have used only 1 knife and 1 spoon. Th e knife is dull like I want it to be so’s I won’t cut my mouth. There are half a dozen pretty waitresses at my command. I am a little bit deef; that interferes ma terially with conversation. The cute little blond came to my table at din-, ner th e other day (noon meal) and I thought she asked me if I wa.s lone some with my wife gone to the moun tains and I said yes.

That fixes it so’s I can drive up there for the weak-ends. Keeping hotel-batch is fine, but I itfiss getting up a t night and putting out the cat, and the southern breez e in my slcep- ‘The Editor's Opportunity.” Under the abov e caption, the edi tor of the Nes and Courier discourses at length on how, if he were a country editor again, barter would b e im mensely important in his business. He would tour the county and “take in anything that the people had to of fer in exchange for sulvcriptions, want ‘ads,’ and printing jobs.” Far be it from us to disillusion the brilliant Charleston editor. Suffice it *to .?ay that in the past we have offered to take farm produce in exchange for subscriptions and received a most in different response. Last fall we of fered to allow double the market price for cottonseed and a scant half- dozen subscribers availed themselves of -the offer. We have had subscri bers who couldn’t sleep (so they said) if the paper did not arriv e on sched ule time each week and have cured these dear friends cf insomnia by parting company with them when their delinquency became too great. As long as Editor Ball can t*- chang e his talents for good old coin of the realm in the City by the Se a , we’d advise him to stick to hi* knit ting. It’s pretty hard to make ends meet with a few bushels of cotton seed. a crop of about 12,222,211, but the boll weevils have not yet made their report.

I moved: I sleep in pajamas * A Beauty Hint. * — A elos e obseiver (male) told me today about a wonderful discovery. You remember a little seam that runs up and down on the back-side of mi lady’s .-lockings? Well—he says if a nybody is afflicted with bow-legged- ness—they can overcome most of it if they wilj wear their hose in such a manner that the seam.' wilt curve in rather than out as they follow the calves northward. He did not mean that this was a cure, but merely a favoiable hallucination. A Political Ir.grate. An ingrat e is one of the most de spicable things ever created by the Almighty in the shape of man, and in the light of political developments Buy Now; Be Closed Out Later. All kinds of bonds, except Uncle Sam’s favorites, are selling powerful low. Certain city improvement bonds ar e being offered at $5.00 per bundle, over-due water-wmrks bonds can be had at $25.00 per batch, while miscel laneous municipal bonds are fetching 1-eent per pound; provided, of course, that no person be allowed to buy le-’S than a bale of 100 pounds. I advise Wanted:—Farm Relief. By reason of accident and invest ment (?), I am a farmer. Up to 1917, I bought land as land was the thing. From 1917 4o 1920, I loaned all my mdney on land, as 8 percent interest was the thing. Nobody questioned the value of farm acreage —and my banker said, “McGee is all right—he owns several hundred acres cf good farm property.” Friends who borrowed my cash paid me off in land with 5 years taxes due thereon. Times have changed. I never let a banker know that I own any land at all. I don’t even let it leak out that I own 2 old automobiles. He never has found out that I still pos-es- some (paid for) Wall Street stocks. In fact, he finds out very Hale about things generally—except my liquid as set-, and that means that there ain’t much to find out. But going back to Gee McGee the Farmer”: I appreciate my farm interests just about as much ac the average guy loves his mother-in-law. If a man were to come to me and of fer me my choice—free of cost—100 acres of good farming land or the measles—I’d take the measles with a smile as my preference—for there’s a chance that I might get rid of them in time, but the only way to shuck loose from a farm is—forget to pay bank 2 time.'-. investors to select green-and-gold-1 y 0 ur taxes—or skip the federal land bordered bonds, as they are much prettier and will look better when used for wall paper.

Roosevelt, the “Al and Frank" counterpart of Damon and Pythias. On two occasions the present nominee of the Denuocratic party had placed in nomination his friend Smith for the highest office in the gift of the American people. In an effort to promote th 0 Smith candi dacy in 1928, Roosevelt consented to run on the Democratic ticket for the office of Governor of New York State. He was elected, whereas Smith lost the electoral votes of his own State.

Our favorite doctor cam e to our house 3 weeks ago and after using an instrument or two, he told me that my wife had the high blood pressure and a slight skip in her heart. He recommended an immediate change of latitude for her. Well, I set out to explain to the doctor that it would cost money to change latitude, but he said wives like my wife is scarce, and they are.

Some of them are in good shape and don’t ask me for much—but there are others. I ought to lov e my helpers more than I do, but I hate farming so bad, I have to take some of my .spite cut on the tillers thereof. I just as soon see a cyclone coming toward m c as a tenant; I can possibly dodge a cyclone, but a tenant—never. The average tenant'? want—flour, meat and tobacco—especially tobacco. If there ain’t any tobacco in hqr.ven and some of my fellows go there, it’s going 'to be hades to them regaidless. They will quit work at 10 o’clock in the morning and “walk a mile” for a chaw. Tobacco comes ahead of something to eat, wear, drink or ride in. If they don’t keep a quid in their mouths all the time, they are liable to kill a mule, cow, another negro or fall dead. Some are almost as bad about tobacco as whitp folks.
