SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictlj In Advance.) THURSDAY, APRIL 13TH, 1933. About 3 hours by sun, I set out for Sooky’s house a-walkin. It was 7 miles, let I trotted them off in less than an Veur. f-^wag too early for calling poipoacs, ,ao I hid in the rail road cut till nearly dark, anj as soon as I thought it wa 9 expedient to do so, I wobbled up to Sooky’s front door and knocked 3 nice, soft knocks that donate^ love and affection. LIFE. Let me but live my life from year to year, With forward face and reluctant soul, Not hastening to, nor turning from the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back to fear From what the future veils; but with a whole And happy heart that pay s its toll' To youth and age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, Through rough or smooth, the journey will be joy; Still seeking what I sought when but a boy— New friendships, high adventure and a crown, I shall grow pld, but never lose life’s zest, —-—-— Because the road’s l« s t turn will be the best. —Henry Van Dyke. Charleston the Incorrigible. Trust Charleston to be "different.” Saturday, while the bill to legalize the sale of beer in South Carolina was gtill pending in the general assembly, truck load s of the new 3.2 per cent, brew were sold openly and above board in a King Street store. And did the thirsty imbibe? Oh, boy! and how! The occurrence was “played up prominently in Sunday's i?sue of the daily newspapeis and we learn from the same source Monday that no ac tion had been taken by either State or federal officers, while Mayor May- bank frankly said that it was no affair of his police department. Of course, the sale of the new beer is as much a violation of the State prohibition laws a s i g that of “mean likker" —or, at least, most of the leg islators take that viewpoint, although we believe one or two of the bolder spirits have express <?d Ihe opinion that such i 8 not the case. However, the fact remains that beer legislation is now pending in the legislature and even Charleston should have been a little more discreet in the matter, to aay the least. Needleg S to say, the State derived no revenue whatever from the sale of the beer in the city by the sea, and that, primarily, is what most of us are interested in just now. Sooky’s daddy came to the d^r and jerked it open and said, “^hat- yer want?” I said, “Please maiam, i s your Mis s Sooky to the housed” He said, “Yes, what you want with-er?” 1 almost fell dead, as I couldn’t tell him. Then I mumbl^\“I have a package for Sooky’/ and he said, “Gimme the package, I’ll givvit to her.” But I didn’t have no package. About that time Sooky hove in sight, thank the Lord. She saved my life. She said, “Aw, paw, you go back to the kitchen and eat your supper. Me and Gee i s going to study our school lessens”. Paw went back. Sooky and I sat down on a bench in rhe front pi-izza. I bragged on the fine weather and the moon and the north star for about 30 minutes, then got up and said, “Good bye, Sooky, this ain’t nice like a straw ride, i s it?” and she said, “No, it ain’t.” I got home about 7:50 but I never got over that disappointment. Pot Soup. Here is the prayer'of the average politician: “Oh, Lord, please help the government to cut everybody’s salary except mine and my wife’ s and my sons and their wive’s, us 54 and no more.” J ’ 1 - Some of our congressmen can’t see any further than their own front door. They don’t realize that it is necessary to” acknowledge "that we have been and are possibly yet facing an emergency, and that more is at stake than their office. ; Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. My First Love Affair. 1 fell in love when I wa« about 18 years old and I fell hard, too. She had brown ayes and brown hair and •orter brown skin and wore a brown calico dress and her name was Sooky Brown, but I think they called her “Sooky” for short; her real name was Sue. -—I had been eye-ing Sooky for over a year, but being of an extreme ly bashful temperament, I had never let on to her that I thought she was sweet and divine and beautiful and pretty and a H of them nice things, in fact, I had never even touched her. That famous love-spell came over me one night when we were on a straw ride. There were 18 couples in that 2-horse wagon body covered with straw and naturally, we all had to sit close. Sooky almost sat in my lap, much to my chagrin and embarrass ment at first, but after we got ’way off in the dark, I kinder enjoyed be ing a lap-lander. And I held Sooky’s hand for the first time. 0ur railroad commission directed the telephone company to cut its rates about 00 days ago. So far the subscribers have saved $0.00, and if they continue these new low’ rates, the public will save $0.00 during the next 12 months. Since the war, the government controlled interests have reduced their rates and as-essments in the sum of $0.00, thu s permitting a total saving of $0.00 for which we are not unmindful.

This good old country of ours ha s swallowed millions of misrepresenta tions from the higher-ups. New York City has been a veritable nest of bunk and bunco-steere’s. The big boys have haJ^ peddlers galore dish ing otlt their worthless stocks and bonds—which is only another polite way to steal. That’s what is wrong with us. We’ve been robbed snagged, sand-bagged and deceived by our leaders for 10 or 12 yearf^and now— we must start all over again and deal with honorable people instead of fraudulent shysters. They got me for $12.00. I mustered up enougfr* boldness and courage to call on Sooky the following Saturday night. I dolled myself up in my new jeans suit, blacked my shoes with grease from tke dish water, smoothed down my hair with hog lard, slipped a few 4raps of lister Sallies Hoyt’s cologne eato my shirt bosom, I had washed real good with sweet smelling and let the suds dry on me. ...They are letting Zangara write a history of his life.
