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.

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.

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.

Madrid.—Dirt track motorcycle rac
ing, known here^ simply as “dirt track,”
Introduced to the country several
years ago by British racers, is getting
more popular. 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.

Listening In.
1 am slightly deaf. The doctor
.-ays that is the reason I can’t hear
good. 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.
