Beauty and the Beast.
It’g a lonjc 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 Cheney (not
the Lon Chaney of motion pictures)
was g la ted to be the vehicle of retire
ment in each instance. Ross’ threat
ened retirement 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 ncwsjvaper account, a
prominent woman of that section,
along with another woman and two
men, allegedly took the victim out
and heat her until she was as "bloody
as a hog.”
Whether these accusations are true
or not ig 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 hag 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
H were a lie, irreparable damage has
been done to her.
Let’s g top and THINK before we
repeat or start false or true deroga
tory remarks about our fellow men.
Nine chances out of ten the "gossiper”

as many mistakes as the one he so

Nobody’s Business
By Gee McGee.
Subject to Correction and
Withdrawal.
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.
by making a pair of outing night
shirts for me.
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

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
auch 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 habit struck me at

mitted the tips of my fingers to poke
out. There was only one button on
it, the same being located just be

Farmers Make Crop of Game

BY DICK WOOD
S portsmen arc waking up to the
th#* siinnlv nt ■ v iwst istuiiu
tact the supply ot game is not going
to last indetinitcly by letting Nature
take its course. Regulating game hags,
by state and federal laws is not enough
to insure a plentiful supply for increas
ing hordes of mmrods.
(iamc fanning has long been a cus
tom m Europe. Any land owner, or
city sportsman fortified with a shotgun
and hunting license costing $2 or less
can hunt in this country, but m Europe,
thr average sportsman is comparatively
rich. Iliere most hunting is done on pub
lic or private shooting preserves at a con
siderable tee.
(rame shooting cannot long continue
in this country tor a dollar oi two ex
penditure tor licrnsr; halt ot that sum
is spent on game law enforcement. It
has long been done because th< farmer
has produced game birds and animals
and willingly granted hunting rights to
city sportsmen.
Hunting NscMMry
In some sections, small game ot \a-
nous sorts thrive under natuial condi
tions, and nerd periodical hunting to
maintain a proper balance. An over
abundance ot squirrels or raccoon wdl
damage corn considerably. Doves, pheas
ants and wildtowl will nuke heavy in
roads on gram in the shock. So hunting
is otten welcomed by farmers who lack
time to keep game in check.
banners who have considerable areas
of waste land may profitably convert it
into game retuges. King-ncck pheasants,
quail and ducks are easily raised tor
stocking purposes. Some states are exper
imenting with the guinea.
Ducks, when released, will leave with
the migratory flights, but other feather
ed game will refiiam on the farm, if
cover, roosting and feeding conditions
are satisfactory.
Quail should be raised to maturity
with a bantam hen, then be released in
guod cover, adjacent to teed and water.
Commercially, quail arc most economi
cally raised by the incubator-brooder sys
tem.
