What a pity the taxpayers can’t
raise their taxes as easily as the legis
lature does.
“Man Shocked by Electric Drill.’*—
Headline. Well, we’ve been shocked
quite often by our electric bill.
The People-Sentinel has a goodly
•number of .subscribers, and then there
are those who ’Just “take the paper.’’
“Take” is right.

Move Over, Please.
The^e old United States of ours
ai*a going to be in mighty fine shape
juft as soon as we get our highway
debts paid. We owe only about $17-
'600,000,000.00 on them. We paid a
a little sum down when we built them.
Our Liberty Bond obligation*
ain’t enough to worry about. They
amount to about $16,750,000,000.00.
If we taxpayers will stop eating, go
naked, and st ay ou t of picture shows
for 75 or 80 years, why, we can re
tire every one of the>e evidences of
debt.
■tores) to sell an old dominecker hen.
Mother gave me a list of things to buy
with this fowl and it totaled 25 cts.
I begged the man so hard to give
me 30 cents for my egg-producer, he
finally gave in and that netted me a
nickle extra. That was somewhere
close to the third or forth piece of
rhoney I ever possessed.
I bought 21 sticks of pretty pep-
perment candy with my money. I
ate 7 of them on the wa^r home and
hid out the other 14 sticks to keep
my brothers and sister.* from eating
them up. I planned for several days
how to have a candy-party witli
Sadie Lee, and finally decided to beg
father to let me have a mule and
qur top bugf^y Sunday afternoon, and
he did so. Lelipped off from every
body and drove over and picked up
Sadie Lee with her pretty calico dress
and home-knit stocking.*, ho-made
Sonnet amoforth.
Sadie Lee and I drove around a
little while and then I showed her
all of that candy. She almost had a
fit. She dearly loved candy. We
licked candy and sucked candy and
chewed candy (and courted) and broke
candy for 2 or 3 hours. That girl
.sure was proud of me—fetching all
of those refreshments to her. I think
I ate about two-thirds of the,stuff,
but that was all right with her. (P.
S. We didn’t do any hugging; it
wasn’t stylish back then.)
A few weeks after this love-
feast, Billie Smith bought a dime’s
worth of fancy candy—chocolate,
lemon drops and buttercups, and he
took Sadie Lee to ride and aLo took
her plumb away from me al the same
time. Him'and*.her finally married
and-I have never spoken to either of
them or a .‘ingle on eof their 12
ycunguns. I didn’t like being cut
out of her.
HOPOCATRUC
By G. Chalmers McDermid.
The bonus demands and the com
pensation accounts, unpaid to date,
are only a drop or. so in the bucket.
By walking everywhere we have to
go, and staying at home all the time,
we can wipe out that tiny $4,000,()()(),-
000.00 in considtrably le>s time than
95 years.
The unpaid balances on our pub
lic schools really ought not to be
mentioned, they are so insignficant.
Why, bond* for these necessities ag
gregate less than $9,000,000,000.00,
but not much less. We ought to get
every ctnt of these collate! als into
our own hands 2 or 3 week.* before
judgment day.
The puny sum of $3,000,000,000
now being wasted by our government
in scraping mud from useless rivers
and harbors and constructing 75 to
100 un-needed public buildings will
be ea.*y to pay back. If we will quit
smoking, chewing, drinking nd cuss
ing for only 20 years, the money we
•wfll save will turn the trick.
The combined bonded debt, ex
cluding the deficits, of our several
State*, cities, towns and school dis
tricts could not possibly be in excess
of $25,000,000,000.00, including New
York and Chicago. We won’t know
■we owe a penny of this money in an
other 100 years.
But Europe owe.* us about $20,-
000,000,000.00. I will sell my inter
est in that “furrin” debt to the first
man who offers me 15 cents in legal
tender, and it won’t have to be so
tender at that. When we get that
money, jaybirds will be laying ele-
j>hant egg.*, mice will be riding bicy
cles. Our private debts—what we
«we each other—amount to possibly
$75,000,000,000.00, but- as nobody aint
jgoing to pay nobody,, why bother
about them ? 1
’Way Back Yonder.
1 have been a timid soul all my
life. I never had a sweetheart till
I was about 18-years of age, antj^I
vraan’t her sweetheart at alf. I be
gan loving two or three girls when
I was 4 years younger, but I could
not possibly muster up enough cour
age to tell them how sincerely my
heart was yearning for their affec
tions.
Good old Henry Maddux has sprung
a new kind of a “blind-fold” test on
us. He took some cotton sample*
from a badly rusted field and s-me
others from a field top-dressed with
0-9-12, had himself blindfolded and wa-
able to pick out very readily the cot
ton which came from the 0-9-12 field.
We asked him ho>£ he di ( f it and
here’s his answer: “ The cotton from
the rusted field had a very smooth,
slick feel, while the edtton from the
0-9-12 field had considerably more
twist to it.
“The bolls were decidedly smaller
from the rusted field and the locks of
cotton were harder to pick clean.
“Then, too, the shanks or stems
which support the bolls on the limbs
were both larger and longer or^ the
0-9-12 cotton.
"The lint fiom the 0-9-12 cotton was
slightly longer for the same variety
of cotton and the fibres were much
more uniform. The rusty cotton
showed both long and short fibres and
when the manufacturer begins to spin
this lusty cotton, he will find much
wastcage.
“In ginning cotton, a gin can be
controlled in almost every instance to
handle either good fluffy cotton or
rusty cotton, without< the gi.n cutting
it, but in most cases when a farmer
brings in a bale of rusty cotton it will
be ginned in the regular way, and siif-
feis considerable cutting which shows
in the sample on the floor. The buy
er, therefore, docks it. I remember
several years ago Mr. D. R. Coker
calling this matter especially to my
attention.”
This matter of cotton rust can be
controlled by the use of a complete
fertilizer, analyzing from 8-4-8 to
8-4-12. Many farmen* who used an
incomplete fertilizer this summer have
spoken to me about the utter folly of
this practice,, after seeing just how
much harm was done the cotton crop
late this summer.
Our farmers have learned a good
lesbon in cotton fertilization during
the last 60 or 75 days on account of
the tremendous prevalence of cotton
rust. They have realized that nitro
gen alone will not make maximum
■yields, and that they must combine
phosphorou.* and potash with this ni
trogen to get best results.
While I am not classed as a prophet
I prophesy this statement today:
Most cotton farmers of the old Pal
metto State and other Southem
1 was 19 years old when Sadie States will use nitrogen, phospho
I*e aqd I both fell in love with one and potash in 1933, and not just
■other and it wa.* no puppy love
either. I’d break my neck any day
trogen alone.
If you are at all skeptical about
to see that sweet girl pass down the cotton blind-fold test I
big road in front of our house—much
leas sit and talk with her a few min
utes. She ws fat, but fatness was
stylish. She was freckled, but I
s’t mind freckles. She was pigeon-
hut that was o. k. with me also.
.One day in July my mother sent
to the station (a town with 2
above, get 4 or 5 bolls each fro
rusted fleldt and a healthy field
make the test yourself. Or, if
want to, see me at the NV’s boot
the State Fair and we will let
try it out there.

Farm Agent News.
Farm Reminders,
Farmers are now planting Austrian
peasfcas a winter covercrop—20 pounds
per#cre now is a good soil building
investment. Be sure to inoculate
with soil or cultqre (or both) if peas
or vetch have not been grown on the
field within the part three years. To
tal cost of seed and inoculation
should not cost more than $1.25 to
$1.50 per acre. Vetch with oats or
rye makes an abundance of fine hay
or is a good .«oil builder—15 to 20
pounds vetch per acre along with oats
or ryt should be sufiicient. Do not
pour grain and vetch seed in the drill
together as they separate in the drill
and vetch mostly comes out 1st. Don’t
forget to treat oat seed before plant
ing. One ounce of formaldehyde will
treat about 3 bushels, mixed with
about a pint of water. Sprinkle on
cat*, stir thoroughly, pile and cover
up for 3 to 4 hours then uncover and
spread to dry. They are then ready
to plant, be sure to treat the sacks
too that oats are put into after
treating. «
It’s worth whi)? to see a flock of‘
turkeys like Bill Henry Moody’s, or
Mis. Corley’s. 250 or more at Moody’s
and more than 100 at Mrs. Corley’.*.
Stop at Lonnie Corley's store and
see the volunteer growth of crota-
laria. A small amount was planted
last year and this comes from seed
made. Growth is tall and thick as
can be. This is a wondeiful soil
builder.
Don’t forget th? hoe gardens—keep
cultivating and planting. You can
plant spinach, turnips, mustard, rad
ishes, kale, cabbage and onions now.
Keep planting so that vegetables may
be had every month.— H. G. Boylston,
County agent.
SCIENTISTS SEEK
LOST MAYAN CITY
Plan Long Trip Through the
Jungles of Yucatan.
\
Los Angeles.—'Lured by a hope of lo
cating a mysterious city of the extinct
Mayan empire, a party of six scientists
soon will leave New York on a 1,200-
mile trek through the Jungles of Yuca
tan and Central America.
Lawrence T. K. Griswold, former
Harvard archeology student, who, at
thirty-one, alfeady hasiapent Itf years
in research among the mountain fast
nesses of I’eru and Bolivia, and the
massed terrain of Central America,
heads the expedition.
The expedition also will seek to re
cord the life and dialects of five van-
ishing tribes, the descendants of the
Maya’s subjects thousands of years
ago.
Griswold is one <if the few men who
can read the mystic picture writing of
the Mayas. He clings to a theory that
the Mayas were of Aryan, not Indian,
origin; that they were tall, blue-eyed
and perhaps bearded people. . who
crossed the Atlantic centuries a^n. He
believes that, with the labor supplied
by a million enslaved native subjects,
they erected the most elaborate civil
ization the new world had known until
the coming of the Europeans in the
Fifteenth century A. D.
Griswold said on a previous expe
dition to tliis area he sighted the lost
city from on airplane, hut the dense
foliage made it impossible to land. It
was distinguished by a huge palace,
which he believes contains valuable
records of the civilization he seeks to
reveal.
In addition to Griswold, the person
nel of the expedition will include Rob
ert Penrose Chapman, son of the late
Samuel Hudson Chapman, noted arche
ologist, who will lie photographic di
rector. Glen R. Kershner, veteran
Hollywood cinematographer and mem
ber of the Donald McMillan polar ex
pedition last year, will accompany the
group to record the (Jances and lan
guages of the native clans in sound
films.
The California group will he joined
In New York by five additional mem
bers. «

born C. Wood. In command of
Lieut. C. W. Lawson, has arrived
here with two of her starboard
propeller blades broken owing to a

The destroyer was on regular pa
trol duty, traveling 22 knots, and
while plowing through a moderate
