That wa s an experience that will live forever, if we stay alive that long. Needs Drought Aid Quickly. An applicant for drought relief is said to have remarked a few days ago that he hopes his application will be approved promptly, as his pros pects are for a bale of coton to the acre. Two Evils. This country is more seriously af flicted with slow car drivers than it is with speeders. There ought to be as much law against driving too slow as there is against driving too fast. First Cotton Ginned. Allendale* Aug. 6.—Wilson R. Johns, Allendale County farmer and cotton ginner, ginned the first bale of cotton to be ginned in the county, and probably the first in the State, this afternoon. The cotton was pro duced on Mr. John’s farm near Allen dale. Last year Mr. Johns ginned the county’s first bale on the same date, August 6. This year’s bale weighs 475 pounds. Bamberg, Aug. 5.—A bale of cot, ton ginned here today was believed to be the first of the season in South Carolina. It came from the farm of B. T. Felder, near Bamberg. Local authorities said it wa s the earliest bale ever produced in the county. | Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Our First Long-Distance Auto Ride. 1 recall my first long trip in my first automobile which was the second automobile ever owned in the small town where 1 resided. This trip re quired lots of faith and much hope, as our rendevoua was 83 miles, as the worm crawlg from our home. And not even a topsoil road had ever been thought of at that time, 1910. Nothing is more irritating than to get behind some sap on a Sunday aftemqon that pokes along on a crowded highway at about 12 miles per hour. Because a string of cars are both coming and going you can’t pass the sap referred to above. - These slow highway nuisances are composed of the following types that travel at the gait named: Loaf-a-long-ers 10 m. p. h. Rib squeezers 11 m. p. h. Model Tees 12 m. p. h. f i ic Chronic buggers 8 m. p. h. Slow-pokers 14 m. p. h. . No. 1 road hog 14 m. p. h. No. 2 road hog 16 m. p. h. Turkic doves 7 m. p. h. Moon gazers 16 m. p. h. Quit-thatter s 17 m. p. h. Drive-as-I-likers 18 m. p. h. Of coursd, r if a fellow is driving some of thfcse Used bargains, $2 down and $1 per week for 6 weeks, it would be dangerou s for Mm to pick up to, say, 5 miles m p. \i. I can forgive him, but these love-birds and these “It’s-as-njuch-my-road-as-it-is his’n” and the smart alecks that make love in low, they ought to be relegated to the side roads or back yards. ‘(They really ought to 8 tay parked at home.) If a man drive s recklessly, say, at p0 to 90 m. p. h., lynching is o. k. fey him; but, if on the other hand, a chump wdth a good car slows down traffic that can’t pas s him for the reason that too many cars are meet ing him, why, lynching would be en tirely too good for him; that is—if he persistenly oozes along for miles* and miles *t a snail's pace, just for pure low-down meanness. The road, are full of big, old« little, and young tor- menters like that. Where highways will permit it, the speed limit ought to be: maximum, 60 m. p. h., and min imum, 30 m. p. h. , We started early snd actually car ried a chauffeur, but I did the driving, being afraid to risk anybody with that fine car. Our first trouble came upon us when I backed the car out of the barn; a toothpick or a thorn or some thing punctured my left front tire. The chauffeur patched it in less than an hour. NEW THINGS ON MARKET INDICATE CHANGE OF TIME — We got up the road nearly three mileg before we got stuck. It had rained 2 or 3 weeks before, and the roads were very muddy and extreme ly rutty and extraordinarily bumpy. The chauffeur and 3 fence rails got us out in less than 72 minutes. We got back in and started; our linen j dusters all got mighty dirty, ami I broke one lense out of my green eye- goggles at thw first stop. One second tire trouble blowed out after had gone about 12 miles. We were expecting tire trou ble, as we had already driven those tires over 225 niile s by the sjieedome- ter. Wc had 4 extra tires with us; changing tires was a problem in those days, but the chauffeur did the job in less than 2 hours. When we got a-going, the wife let her long motor ing veil bang over the side of the car too far and it became entangled in the brakes and jerked her out backwards. No damage much, except to the veil. (Ours was an open car with top al ways down.) A new handbag mirror never leaves its mistres a at a loss for note space. Memoranda can be penciled on the back. The non-akid qualities of tire R are renewed by a new machine which cuts lateral slots th^ge-sixteenths of an inch deep and one-fourth of an inch apart. New transparent wrapping material, made from rubber, is said to remain moisture proof even when wrinkled or creased and to have a greater tear resistance though lower tensile strength than cellufose sheets. The new movie sound screen is made now of sheet steel instead of fab- ric. It has louver perforations and is said to give superior sound reproduc tion and reflected light without loss of picture.

M. GREENE. Master for Barnwell County. How do you like your new baby brother, Henry? It isn’t a boy, it's a girl. But your mother told me it was a boy! Well, 1 know it’s a girl because 1 saw them putting powder on it this morn ing. Our next 25 miles brought u s the following trouble: fan belt broke, brakes burnt out, pitcock dragged on ground, broke off and let all of our oil leak out, radiator developed leak where a chunk had flown up and hit it in the face, ran out vf gas, 3 spark plugs quit firing, had 5 more punc tures, ran out of patching and cement, left 1 of the kids 4 miles oehind— dirty, it loked like an abode hut. Grips adjusting the carbureter so’ s it would n’t let gasoline leak out. Had to go back and stop her from picking black berries. No Wonder.
