Beauty and the Beast It’ s a lonff way from Sarah Bern hardt to Jack Ross, Greek wrestler of Augusta, but. after all they have something in common. Tuesday we read in an Augusta paper that Ross would retire unless he won over his opponent in a match in Augusta Wed nesday night. The State of Wednes day published the information that Ross would retire unless he won over his opponent in a match in Columbia Thursday night Lon Chaney (not the Lon Chaney of motion pictures) was 8 la ted to be the vehicle of retire ment in each instance. Ross’ threat ened retiremehl recalls the farewell tours of the Divine Sarah. WHY GOSSIP? (Contributed) Why gossip? Why do people like to “run down” their neighbors instead of commending them for the deeds well done and leave unchronicled the slips that it is only human to make? A notworthy case of malicious gos sip is that which happened on June 27th down in Mississippi when a “poisonous tongue” spread small, mean talk about a lady who had the reputation of having lived a quiet, unobstrusive life. As a lesult of this talk, the substance of which wa 8 not divulged in the newspaper account, a prominent woman of that section, along with another woman and two men, allegedly took the victim out and beat her until she was as “bloody as a hog.” Whether these accusations are true or not i 8 a matter for the courts of that State to decide, but at any rate a situation that well might have been avoided hs been brought up, and time, unwanted publicity and money will have to be spent by the defendant be fore justice ha 8 been satisfied. Then, too, whatever the verdict, there will forever be the question of doubt hang ing over these four people. The woman who was unmercifully beaten—what did she do? If it were something punishable by law, why not let the law take itg course? If k were a lie, irreparable damage has been done to her. Let’s gtop and THINK before we repeat or start false or true deroga tory remarks about our fellow men. Nine chances out of ten the “gossiper” i 8 just as human and has made just as many mistakes as the one he so glibly tallcs about. Once more—“WHY GOSSIP?” ‘O’s.”) The stuff these so-called* night gowns were made from had stripes that were intended to run north and south on ready-to-wear garments, but “she” had them running around me, cast and* west. Furthermore, the soft-side of the material was on the outside instead of the inside. These models of home-made antiqueness struck me just above my knees and swung around in a wavy manner, long here and* short there. But as the years went by, home sewing became more popular, and bet ter fitting garments were made. How ever, at thi 8 writing, such a thing as sewing, patching, darning, and putting on button s in the average home, at least—where bridge is played and Russian tea is served, i 8 as d*ead and gone a s dodo. Everything is bought ready-made, and the laundries and cleaners are dbing the dirty work. Flat Rock Enjoys a Few Days ci Brisk Trade, deer mr. edditor:— the bizness house s of flat rock ap preciate verry much indeed the good you done them thru yore colyumns last week when you announcecf that mrs. john z. judson had collected her 780$ insurance on her husband who passed on into the sweet beyond only 3 weeks ago and was berried at re- hober cemiterry by the wows. the next d*y after yore notis come out that her monney had benn duly re ceived, flat rock had the followering salesmen, agents, ansoforth, in her midst, spending monney verry freely, vizzly: 6 insurance agents, otter-mobeel salesmen, tom-stone specialists, ice-box solicitors, installment furniture gentlemens. 1 undertaker who laid him away. 5 picture enlai gers of the dead. 9 charrity and church workers. 2 common beggars. 3 rtidio peddlers. 3 first-mortgage holders. 4 2 7 9 trade was very brisk enduring this occasion, and biznes 8 mens continued' to call oti mrs. judson enctiring the entire week, and, as a matter of fact, a Tew kept coming till she had spent ever cent of same, meaning her diwi- dend from poor john’g remains. questions. I was glad when he said in the presence of my wife that I had been working too hard 1 . That sorter em barrassed her. „ She thinks setting a- round the house after work hours is loafing. Then the physician suggest ed a vacation. I asked him to where, but he would not tell me without knowing how much I could raise. I was afraid to let him on to that secret, as it wa s very small. -.I’m going to take the doctor’s advice and vacate a whole week. I shall try to get away from telephones, bill col lectors, traveling salesmen, politicians, joke tellers, charity solicitors, rackets generally and go rvhere the fish and mosquitoes bit freely, where birds and bumble bee 8 fraternize, and where no toothpaste, liver medicine, indigestion tablets and other undesirable adver tising utterances can reach me. I am going to take a rest, that is—if it don’t cost too much. Triple “C” New* Notes (By Arthur Rididock, Reporter.) the drug 8 toar seems to of benny- fitted more than the other mercantile establishments, as they set around the aody founting and took soft drinks and smoked seegars ansoforth until each feller’s turn come to call on the poor widd*er. Life Saving School. Thirty-eight men, of the 42 sched uled to attend the district Life Saving school arrived here Sunday, July Sth. The activities of the school com menced early Monday morning. It is hoped tha the four missing members will arrive from their camps soon, so that the school will be complete. The pool is divided so that local swimmers who want to go in while the school is in progress can use one end of it, and' the life saving school can use the other end. New Men Expected. Twenty-nine “peavies” are expect ed any minute as this is written. It is probable that they will be men re cruited in Columbia, but no one knows definitely. They were expected 1 Sun day, but they did not show up. We are hoping they will be a good bunch of boys. This will bring the com pany strength to 200 even, with 50 at each side camp. Baseball Game. Barnwell lost the final game of its regular schedule here Saturday to Edisto Island by a score of about 25 to 5. No one seemed to know or care exactly what the score was. We are handicapped by not having all the company together. Here’s a plan to share the wealth .... and there’s no joke about it. Use me more and my wage s go even lower.

Yeais and years ago, before pa jamas were introduced from Turkey where they were and' are still used as street garb, my old lady decided that she could save between 20 and 15 cts. fry making a pair of outing night shirts for me. mrs. judson said she inherited e- nough monney from the insurance to make a liberal down payment on ever- thing she bought, but when she count ed up her ballance, the undertaker and the dbetor got overlooked in some mysteriou s manner, counting her 4- door and her electric ice box and the 5 other household implements, on which she paid a minimum of 25$ per •article, she now owes only 1534$, but she will have her own long terms on $®me. thank you, mr. edditor. they meught not of found this out had it not benn for yore paper. yores trulie, mike Ciark, rfd. coiry spondent. Not having wielded' a needle be fore in the direction of mens’ wearing apparel (and in my judgment, needles and sewing were not listed amongst those things she knew most about at tha time), I did* not expect a gay Paree model or design for use while wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. Well, the night finally came in late December (thermometer 20 in the bedroom) when I donned one of those glorious hand-made reposing garments. I had 1 never' before seep such a thing a s that night shirt was. It was tubular in shape, a semi-round hole that looked like and “O” showed at one end for my head to go thru; the tail end was shaped like the top of a wash tub. The right s leeve of this most re markable sleeping h^bit struck me at elbow while the left sleeve barely per mitted the tips of my fingers to poke out There was only one button on it, the same being located just be neath my throat. When I buttoned it, H puckered the “O” so badly I al- atost choked to death. (I always call- ad those instruments of dissatisfaction Let Me See Y’our Tongue. For the post few weeks, I have not been feeling very fit—certainly not as fit as a fiddle, and possibly not as fit as a banjo or a guitar. I’ve been moping around, qating very ilttlfr, digesting nothing, sleeping jerkingly, tii ing easily, sneezing frequently, coughing deeply, and generally head- aching around. * 1 wa s sent to the doctor by the old lady; she always knows when a preson need s medical attention. I suppose she got tired trying to fix something that I could and would eat with a smile. She tried everything but frog legs; she wa s never able to lo cate a frog of suitable size, age and appearance. 1 went to the doctor and told him my business, and explained to him that I had been oozing around for several day s minus my vim and vivacity, also my get-up-and-git spirit. He asked' me if I had any appetite to eat, and I told him no. He made me open my mouth wide and say— “A-h-a-h-h-h. I said it as good as h? could, s o II ain’t my voice that’s out of whack. The dbetor then listened at my heart with his little rubber telephone. He counted my pulse at the same time, and shook his head. He asked me how business was, and t told him not.much; then he listened in again, and aaid my heart and pulse sounded better. He took a blood test, and ask ed several very foolish and personal furnishing the music and the large crowd of dancers enjoying it, Co. 4468 enjoyed its Anniversary Ball on the night of July 3. It was just a year ago that the company was formed under the com mand of Lieut. Sander s who replaced Captain Licman who came here in charge of the cadre of 11 men from Montmorenci. Lieut. Godwin was in charge of that cadre, and they got the camp in shape for the 200 men who came on July 3rd, 1935. Since then many officers and enrollees have come and gone, through transfers, dis charges and enrollments, but the company has steacflly improved, and has continued to improve its reputa tion in Barnwell. At the present Lieut. Chas. A. Ritchie is in command, with Lieut. Julian Metz second in command. Also, Lieut. Wall is commanding the side camp at Walterboro, and Lieut. Cobble is commanding the sicb camp at Luray. The Luray camp was formed in December, and the Waiter- boro camp in January. To get back to the dance, the attendance was as large as we have had, and the hall was very nicely decorated with moss and red, white and blue streamers. Perhaps the most effective decorations, if we may call them such, were the electric fans which lined the walls. For one large one we are very much obliged to Dr. Martin Best, of the Best Pharmacy, and for the three smaller ones to Mis s Jo Black, of Senator Brown’s office. Visitors. On Friday Lieut. Miller, friend and former physician of this camp, and' now assistant district surgeon, was out for an inspection of the camp. Lieut. Hellams, district mess inspec tor, was also lyre the same day. Chaplain Gregory made his final talk to the boy s of this camp on Fiiday, July 3rd. The chaplain is going off duty and we are mighty sorry to see him leave. Louis Bryan, brother of th? CEA, was in camp Sund'ay night and Mon day morning.
