THURSDAY, JULY 28TH, 1932. “Soap Ship Coming: Here Regular ly.”—Headline in The News and Cour ier. Good. Now, perhaps, Charles ton will clean up. Why Not? In these days of depression and high taxes, why not try letting contracts for delivering mail on rural routes to the lowest bidders instead of steadily increasing the pay' of carriers? Un cle Sam follows this procedure on star route*—and saves money. Why not on rural routes, also? Why pay a carrier as much as $250 a month for a few hours work, a day when there are hundreds of responsible men who would gladly take the job for much leas? With greatly improved roads, why is the job worth so much more now than it was a few years ago when Jiving costs were considerably higher? tween wool on one end and jute on other. It is raised on credit, sold for cash, and is good for treating the earache as well as for making under clothes, which the women won’t wear. Wall street sells more cotton in a day, (or rather, she useter) than the world grows in a decade. Cotton has to fetch over 10 cents before the farmer can buy anything except to bacco and guano. ONIONS.—Onions may be divided into 2 groups—if you will do so be fore you start to peeling them. They are the be«t friend Halitosis ever had. They are useful to spread on steak and^hot-dogs, and can be eaten while yW are drunk like apples or onions. The largest onions are called Bermuda onicns_i__ became they are raised in Texas; the small onions are also good for eating purpdses if you don’t care what your friends think of you. (N. B. Always eat onions after you re turn from the party or later on, if pos sible. Nobody's Business GARLIC.—See onions. But if you are not satisfied to- do so, kindly con sider limberger cheese for a few min utes. • Limberger cheese is made from milk that is too old to be thrown away but after being made, your trouble is over if you have asthma, and all you have ^o do is let it decay for a few mtire weeks and serve cold. It is fine with beer if you have already drunk 4 or 5 quarts. If ydu like it and your wife don’t, that is ample grounds for divorqe on her part. Don’t ever wear any limberger cheese on your person in your pockets, etc. That is dan gerous as somebody might run /over you on purpose. By Gee McGee. Y i Concrete vs. Abstract. The government’s effort to reduce expenses reminds ?ne of the farmer who got .®o hard up tljat he quit using toothpicks entirely and bought him self a big automobile. Speaking of the 3-cent letter postage, a new innovation mothered by the budget balancers; if it wasn’t against the law to dun a man or cuss a man on a postal card, letter-writing would be discontinued entirely—ex cept for love purposes. % Cotton Letter. New York, July 23.—Liverpool cables were better than due on ac count of excessive rains in Canada. Near midday, spots re-acted on news from the farm board that they will not buy or sell any more cotton dur ing the republican administration, but boll weevil reports caused an er ratic December and November eased off. Spots were firmer when Anacon da copper and rails showed slight gains; these two stocks are made out of cotton, hence the sympathy. Due to too much talk, American telephone advanced 3 points, but the carryover for the current year will be in the neighborhood of 12,333,333, or mebbe a few bales more. We advise the wot plank. Egg-Beaters. The other day_ while .I was very busy my wife called me on the phone and told me to meet her down town at 10:22 A. M., Eastern Stand ard time, and assist her in shopping. I was 6n the right corner at 10:21 A. M. She showed up promptly at 11:33 A. M with, “I am sorry that I am a minute or two late.” I said yessum. What she wanted was an egg-beat er. As I know all about egg-beaters, I felt that she had called on the prop er machinist to make the selection. The first, second, third and fourth stores we visited did not carry egg- beaters. The fifth store was an under" taking establishment, and they were “just out.” I did not object to any thing or suggest anyyvhere. Bankers Help Seven banks of Kennebec County, Maine, cooperated with the county grange, farm bureau, and local cream ery, t in financing the publication of a booklet, entitled, “The Agricultural Situation in Kennebec County.” It presents in a concise manner the farm resources and practices of the county, with suggestions for improvement Legal Advertisements IMPORTANT NOTICE!

W. PRICE, President. NOTICE OF MUNICIPAL PRIMARY ELECTION. t. Purstranf'-to authority vested in us by the Executive Committee of the Barnwell Municipal Democraic Party and in accordance with the rules and regulation* of the said party, we do^K hereby order an election to be held in the city of Barnwell, S. C., on Tues day, August 9th, 1932, for the pur pose of nominating a Mayor, six (6) Aldei men and two Commissioners of Public Works to succeed R. A. Deason and T. J. Langley, as Democratic nominees to be voted,for in the gen eral election to be held for the pur pose of electing a Mayor, six Aider- men and t>vo Commissioners of Publ ic Work.* of Barnwell. This election shall be held under the rules of the Democratic party. In the said election the voters shall scratch the names of all save one can didate for Mayor, all save six candi dates for Alderman, and all save two candidates for Commissioner of Public Works. No person shall be allowed to vote at this primary unless he or she has enrolled his or her name in the book provided for that purpose. We found a fairly nice egg-beater in a 10-cent store, but it did not suit my wife as she wanted a 15-cent egg-beater. She owned a 10-cent egg- beater once, and it wa.* unsatisfactojy. W’e went to the oftier four- 10-cent i stores and all of their egg-beaters were worth only 10 cents, so- none of them suited her. 1 was sorry they had them marked in plain figger*: I could have had the price raised a nickle had it not been for that. The folks on 'the" way “back to the fam” are meeting the folks on the way back from the farm enroute to the nearest breadline. A hustler might be able to make a living tick ling the .'oil if he will become a dud- ist, non-smoker, a faster and heathen. He should by all means send his wife .and children to the poorhoa«e before taking up agriculture. If we were to spend $2,000,000,- 000 erecting public buildings that we don’t need, it would give a few skilled laborers enough work to en able them to run their automobiles again, but the masse* would be benefitted (that is, the real jobless) just as much as a cyclone would be helped if a transient rooster were to sneeze. You can’t cure a mad-dog bite with another mad-dog. H-I-S-T-O-R-Y 1. —Reparations. 2. —Al. Smith. ' 3. —The World Court. 4. —John J. Ra.*kob. 5. —The Volstead Act. 6. —Corsets. 7. —Low Taxes. . We called on a hardware store. His 10-cent egg-beaters were priced at 25 cents, so that broke up a trade. I fi nally got her consent to try out one of those 10-cent egg-beaters, but .*he could not get one on approval, so there we were. She had-just about ihade up her mind to let me invest in the 25- cent machine, but suddenly discovered that it would not run backwards. I persuaded her to go to a racket .'tore, but she took the position lacket stores did not sell anything but tennis rackets. Anyway, she consented to go and lo and behold, the man had some of the cutest little 5-cent egg-beaters you ever saw for only 15 cents. She liked them very well till, she found that they would not fit her egg-beat ing bowl as they were too- small at .one end. .After 3. or.4 hours of hard work, we both gave up in despair. We will tiy it again soon. We want the world *o know that we mu.*t have a 15-cent egg-beater that will beat the yolk and yellow of an egg at the same time and will run sideways, forward and backward. The color doesn’t matter much just so it is a dark-brown to match our bread-tray. I dearly love to shop with my wife. She knows ex actly what she wants, but nobody els^ does. Edwin L. Lee.
