THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1932 A decade and a half ajjo the cry ■was, “Get the boys out of the trenches hy Christmas.” Today it is, “Get us beer by Christmas.” When Will Prosperity Return? I f i Or to put it another way around, ■when will this deprea-ion end? During the past three years there have been optimistic bubblings of economist and business prophets, but here is a simple, straight-forward atatement of a banker that stands out like a red shirt. Speaking from more than 60 years’ experience and obser vation, he says: “During the past 60 years we have had 16 prosperities and 16 de- pressioa? (large and small) and this is the way people have acted in every cne of them. Near the end of every depression people get starved for good s and begin to buy, a little mere and a little more—and at this very moment the next prosperity begins— * and its duration always depends upon the amount of wisdom which the , people acquired during the last de pression.” To which we might add that if the people have acquired wisdom in keeping with the length and severity of the Hoover depression, they should be wise enough to make “fhe next prosperity” last forever. Nobody’s Business! By Gee McGee. -X->4 R I V A L R Y I r t The country school 1 attended ■when I was a boy (and by the way, that’ s the only kind of school I ever attended) and had a great many rivals in it. El> Green for instance, ehowed us one day how he could wig gle his ears, but Jim Smith up and ehowed u- how he could wiggle only one ear at the tinig, and that got Kb’s goat. t F n • v Joe Brown could walk on his hands and he thought he had that stunt all to himself, but before anybody had time to get his breath, Bob Dunnitt was hopping about over the cchool grounds on hi s right hand, and zipp went Joe’s notoriety. Elsie Burket could dig a hole in the ground with her big toe, but Susie Scott showed ug how to dig holes with her little toe, and that nearly killed Elsie. 1 was the only kid in the bunch that could hold his breath till Kim Jones could count 125; Kim was our fastest counter 1 till Ella Kinard took that honor away from him. She could almost double-count Kim. He began to lose flesh after being out-done. Bob Seward could pop hi s knees bet ter than anybody else, so he thought, but on Friday at big recess, Ettie Strippuing got up on a de<k and pop ped her knees 33 times. Bob was never the same after that. Jerry White was the only scholar in school thajt could look at the sun for 5 minutes without sneezing. No one ever outlooked Jerry. Sallie El lis could poke her tongue out further than anybody else till Kit Corbitt tamed up one day. Sallie never spoke to him again, as he had her skint half the length of a slate pencil. Zoe Perkins was the only girl that could hold a pencil between her lip and nose and write her name. —Pete Wilson could bat his eyes faster than any other person; Eleck Burt could turn around the most times without getting drunk, and one of my brothers always led in playing mumble peg. Ike Molten was the on ly guy that would let you pour water hi his mouth and make it run out of his nose, and he could blew smoke from cross-vine through hi* ears. He was smart. Jule Nixon had the most rotten teeth, and Sam Speer prided himslef on always having the greatest num ber of toe nails missing. Spike Lan- ferd crould chey the biggest quid of ztkbit tobacco and spit the furtherest. i Moore could start a Are with a .stick, and Homer Outs could make the best whirligigs. I was mighty proud of all th&se remarkable friends, but I was not a leader in any of these great marathons, yet, I could chew faster than most of them. flat rock news the baptising which was planned to ba hell at rehober last Sunday morning at 10 o’clock a. m., was put off onner count of the watter was too the 4 members of the church meeting. 8 ) will ^e babtised next sum mer if ^ome watter can’t be het in the pool befoar then. my ears—-ear drums, he called them.

The innovation of a feminine racer has been introduced this season for the benefit of the fans. A mixture of motorcycle racing and bullfighting was recently performed in a night burlesque bullfight at Ali cante. ^ y i Two riders, advertised as “Mister Sngraw” and “Mister Aresta,” at tempted to kill their bulls while rid ing motorcycles, but the bulls prevent ed this by knocking over their mounts, so that .the riders had to kill them on foot. The spectacle did not arouse much enthusiasm. T- ANNOUNCEMENT HOPOCATRUC By G.

He intimated that there was something wrong with my ears; he’s possibly right. It’s had not to be able to absor^ conversation. A pret ty girl whispered something in my best ear yesterday. 1 am still won dering what she said. 8 x--~ 1 never indulge in talk in a crowd. 1 don’t even try to do much listening. It doesn’t pay to hear ju-t about half what folk s are say ing. So 1 just eat right on and think. It ain’t any trouble to be seiious if noises don’t bother you. I always laugh when the rest of the bunch laughs; I do that ,-o’s they won’t know how deef I am. Most of them think I heard their cheap jokes. Once I was at a big dinner. Everybody was talking and I thought it was my duty to talk tob."~ I found out in a few minutes that my wires were ert -sed. They were discussing the sad and sudden death of a very dear fiiend, but I was talking about a dog fight that took place the pre vious evening in front of my office. I knew something was wrong when my wife frowned at me; I thought at first that mebbe I had spilt some- gravy on my vest, but Iwas w’rong; it was the dog fight she wanted stopped. 1 can hear perfectly over' the phone cr while riding in an airplane cr on the train or in a fussy Ford; that’ s funny, but it’s so. I caught myself drifting deafward. about 10 years ago—after “wrestling 4 weeks with the flu. I began to .spend my money cn ear specialists. One fellow cut about two pounds of bones out of my nose with a cold chissel for 4200.00. Another blew my eastach- ian (?) tubes open a dozen times with a pump for $75.00, but the more I paid the less I heard. _ After deciding that deafness could not be cured (but it might be prevented), I began to scout around for hearing devices. I firrt poked some little rubber contraptions into I noticed^an article under the date liine of Columbia of November 5th, about “Saving the Farmers Bacon.” This article released by J. R. Haw kins, extention liev^tock specialist, repertg cn results of killing and cut ting demonstrations, and efforts to secure cold' storage facilities ( f3r cur ing of heme produced meat.?. It strikes me that a movement of this kind, wheie the farmer can kill and dress his pork at home and take it to one of the cold 1 storage p’ants which have agreed to cooperate, will go a mighty long way towards help ing the “Live at Home” program. I understand that several new ice and cold storage plsntg have become interested in stoiing meat for the farmers. Some of them will take the meat, chill it, apply the curing mix ture, overhaul and re-salt it, and noti fy the farmer. 8 when it is ready to take out. Among these plant 8 listed in the ar ticle are the Hartsvrlle Ice and Coal Co., The Southern Icj Co., with stor age plate.? at Summerville and Meg- gett; possibly the Columbia plant of Pelmetto Fish and Oy, ter Co.; tKe Allendale Ice and Fuel Co., and the Florence Ice anj Fuel Co4 with two plants in Florence County. In talking with County Agent Cairaway, of Chaileston County last week, he told me that Mr. Inabinett of Meggett had tried thi s cold stoiage plan last season with splendid results anti that many farmers of Charleston County wou'd follow Mr. Inabinet’s example thi s year. With this new type curing salt which i. 8 now * n the market, and the cooling facilities offered, the curing of meat for this winter should be al most “fool proof.” Oui people < f the san 1 land country (below the fall line), the real low country, havj not had the success in past year.? with meat curing that they would wish, and do not cure as much meat as do our neighbor.? of other secti.ns of the State. With this new system, however, home kill ed meat should go fon%ard with a -new impetus, and the duellers in our cities and towns 'should at leas t'%? able to buy bett.r grade f cured meats. During the course of my c:nversa- sation with County Agent Carraway, he told me of a ham which wa.? given him in September and which was cured early last spring under the “chilling method.” He stated that it was excellently cured and was of first quality even a s late in the sea son a> that. A proposition of this kind should also appeal to our thrifty town house wives. Maybe it could be arranged. Now if we could get the hens to lay a little better and still get the price eggs aie bringing, we’d feel a little better about the situation. And did you ever ^.aste any “sweet butter.” I tasted some for the first time at Orangeburg the other day. The Summerland Creamery had a booth at the Orangeburg County Fair, and I sampled seme of theif wares. Sweet butter i s mighty good and I don’t blame the Yankees for liking it. They te*!! me that friend Yankee i? a big customer for South Carolina sweet butter.
