DON’T EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR EYES A Nice Compliment. That was a nice compliment that John K. Auill, veteran Columbia news- paper reporter, paid W. W. Smoak, editor of The Walterboro Press and Standard, in his review of the high way controversy. Mr. Aull wrote: ‘‘Representative Smoak, of Colleton, an experienced legislator, a prohibi tion leader, a newspaperman free of cynicism but who knows what it is all about, made one of the few speeches (hiring the whole mes 8 to which the house listened, Mr. Smoak pleading for harmony.” And in addition to it’s being a “nice” compliment, every word he said is true and, for that reason, deserved. We always welcome the weekly visits of The Pres s and Standard to our exchange desk and while we may not always agree with Brother Smoak’s editorial utterance's, we have a high regard for his opinions and respect his stand on all matters of public welfare. More power to him as editor and legislator! i hope you and all yore folks are well, we have haidi so much bad wea ther here of late, i have not had chance to feel out the donkey’s true standing in our midst, allso the flu has blocked travel a right smart, how ever, put me down for anny extry work you mought want done in yore behalf. s yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. leading citizen. tony chatterson of cedar lane got beat in the hop-scotch tilt, and broke 1 his big toe on a stob. all foot race's were captured by flat rock, miss jen- nie veeve smith, the leader of ever- thing looked mighty pretty in her fine veil dress with pink petticoat. Mike Clark Publishes the High Salaries Paid to Flat Rock-ites. dleer mr. eddjtor:— i notis by the papers that the sal aries of the big copper-ations anso- forth are being published so’s to show how much the pressident, treasurers, directors and legal tellents thereof are receiving from the stockholders who have just about quit receiving annythin^. Mrs. Rocoevelt’s Lawn Party. The lawn party given at the White House Saturday by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, at which the wife of the President entertained eight white and 44 negro girls, is coming in for cojT* siderable discussion, with the possi bility that racial equality may be made an issue in the coming Presiden tial campaign. While Mrs. Roosevelt wa s doubtless actuated purely through kindly mo tives, the incident is rather unfor tunate from a political viewpoint and “if it be treason" we may rest assur ed that the opposition will make the most of it in an effort to split the solid South as it did in 1928 over the religious controversy, although at this time it hardly appears likely to gain the same importance. The girls in question are inmates of the Wash ington national training school for girls (a reformatory) and for that reason the incident is on a some what different plane from that of the ordinary social function. How ever, Mrs. Roosevelt should be a lit tle more discreet and not deliberately go out of her way to do anything that might be construed as flaunting the Democratic South on this explosive question of racial equality. We sincerely hope that the incident will be passed over as being nothing more than a kindly woman’s desire to help and encourage those of her sex who find themselves in a less fortunate position. Nobody’s Business Y By Gee McGee. Mike Stands Ready to Help the Party, hen. jim farley. campane manager, Washington, d. C. deer sir and bro:— i seat myself as usual at this time of a political year to rite and inform the leaders thereof c f the situation in flat rock end surrounding community as to their pollitical leadings, anso- forth. there was aslight weaknes s in the pressent add-ministration’s stock up to a few 'clays ago, but,as soil erosion, parrity and rent checks are flooding the u. s. males from coast to coast, you might put us down as 100 per cents in favor of pres, roseyvelt. holsum moore is afeared to declare hisself up to this riting. he expects to enter local or county or state poli tics this year, and he is waiting to see whichter way the cat jumps, that is— if she jumps a-tall. he will turn re publican or socalist or communist if he thinks such a change would give him the local post offis. ^ mr. art square is hack with the gov- verment now. he was opposed to same for ai while, everboddy told! him ' if the -processing taxes were took off that cotton would go up c4 per lb. higher, but low and behold, it back fired, and went down cl. it also had the same effect on wheat and corn, he will not listen to gov. talmadge an- tax. our poleesman draws down 65$ per month when that much is in the citty treassure, but he do not have any- b( ddy to feed except hisself and his wife and his 8 childrens and his gram- maw and his wife’s maw. he do not pay a income ta.x, or a inheritance tax; only a-pole, a dog and household, goods tax, that’s all. he do not play goff. dr. hubbert green, our local fisican, does a practice of about 4,000$ per an num, and after he gets thru trying to collect the same, he actually realizes 900$ in cash, a few hams of meat, some sausages, a few chickens and possibly some watter millions in season. Ke pays a capitol stock tax and a big gas- soleen tax to rkfe in his ford with, but no surtax or tax on furriu copper- rations dividends. the widder scoggins was left some stocks by her lat? disseased husband, and she got a cash divvefldend last year of 3$ from the company whose pressident got 205,000$ in sallaries, and 250,000$ in a bonnus, but the bonnus did not come from the u. s. war department, yore corry spondent, mr. mike Clark, rfd. who runs the saniterry beef market, do not draw down no sallery, but he lives out of the stoar on odds and ends that are left over. verry few of us who make a livving by the sweat of our brows are bother ed ab- ut high salleries. if we g >t 200$ per year, we live on same, if we get 88$, we spend it and live verry little better, and in case where we get nothing, we live off of uncle sam an'ri the direct relief, it take s some brains and lots of good pulling directors to make big monney. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. corry spondent. Field Day at Flat Rock. flat rock pulled off a big field day friday to the sattisfaction of all con cerned except the town of cedar lane who got beat at everthing she under took to compeet in. __c.some monney was raised bjj sell ing space on the programs to various merchants and filling station s for 2$ per inch which went to pay for put ting down cinders to run on and for ice-cream for the contestants anso- forth. sudie lou Ciark winned the prize for the fastest running high scholl girl and dudd Clark proved to be the highest jumper, he hawing jumped over the pastor Hence in front of scholl house. sallie skinner skipped and hopped longer and further than anyboddy. bill botts stood on his head^SO-Jmin- nets, but they say he had had a drink, ellso a headache. rope skipping took place at the rare of the play-grounds where cape prune out-skipped all entries at the rate of 3 to 1. john burkinson skunt more cats in 80 minutes than anny flat rock’s john Clark winned the cup trohpy, but as no cup couldl be had, he was givven a nice saucer for pole vaulting. other prizes consisted of hair ribbons, tooth-brush, bottle of hoyt’s cologne, a pair of socks, and 2 pet rabbits, ever person pressent ex cept them that lost enjoyed this big field day ansoforth. yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd., judge. on theother side of the pitcher, plese print the followering which shows My First Suit Was a Mistrial. I was 17 years old when I got my first store-bought suit. I can see it now. It was a fuzzy, dark blue thing that cost me and my father together exactly $3.49. I had! saved up 83 cent s during^the 4 or 6 previous years to thus invest. what the feller s who do the rail work * get out of their services: bert greet (and his f&milley of 6 who work all year on the farm) receives 300$ per annum, but out of that, he has to pay his dr. bills, his groc^rj^ bills, allso for his food! and clothes, he do not pay a income t^x, only 24$ property The nice clerk threw in a pair of suspenders. By the third time I had worn them, they were at least 6 feet long; the rubber simply disappeared. My folks bought a pretty 25-cent blue hat to match the suit. It turned itself into a 15-inch funnel-ehapied tube the first time it got damp. I w-ore that new suit to church the following Sunday. It was August. If there had been such a thing as a thermometer, it would have registered at least 125 in the hot big road I walk ed down to chorch. But nobody in our neighborhood could have read a ther mometer; they could not even read al manacs vjery well, they being our principle reading matter. (The church was only 6 miles from home as the worm crawls.) J wore a pair of pateijt leather shoes, size 7; my feet size 9. I never got so tired of a sermon in my life. I hoped every second that the preacher would fall dead or something. He saw me shedding tears (on account of suf fering feet) and thought I was get ting religion, so he directed both bar rels right at me shaking his index fin ger point-blak, and yelling—“Young man.’ I finally got back home . . . . thru the woods. Not having worn any undercloths, which were unknown by poor-folks like us, my new gar ment had painted my entire body the color of the cloth. Every button had busted off, and the britches were rip ped in four different places, and every place was the wrong place for rips. The sleevs had come out, and the lin ing wa< also blue-black in harmony witr my skin. Folks called me “Blue- Gee’ for months; after that I went back to my old jeans suit and used it 2 years, longer. Gee McGee. Skull Fractured by Pitched Ball. Eugene Covington, local high school student, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Covington, suffered a serious head in jury in the Bamberg-Dunbarton game last Thursday afternoon. During the first part of the game, Eugene was hit on the head by a pitched ball. He was dazed by the blow and his team- mate s carried him to a drug store where he wa s given a pallictive and he went to sleep. He slept until the team returned home, and it was found' that he could not be easily awakened. He was still dazed and a physician was called, who advised that he be carried to the Tri-County hospital at once. X-Ray pictures at the hospital showed that he had suf fered a fractured skull, and he was kept at the hospital until Sunday for observation. Eugene’s many friends will be glad to know that he is now getting along nicely at his home on Carlisle street, and it is expected that he will soon be recovered.—Bamberg Herald.
