“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.

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.

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.

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.
