THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1936 Good morning! Are you still suf fering from Literary Indigestion? The Republican party can now take time-out to write its own version of “Gone With the Wind.” Why not let Maine and Vermont move to reconsider and make the President’s re-election unanimous ? A six-inch fall of snow blanketed Maine and Vermont Thursday. Evi dently trying to cover up the results of Tuesday’s election in those States. A1 Smith, Alf Landon and Willie Hearst have called on the American people to back the Democratic admin istration. What says the News and Courier? -***£" There are now tVo new versions of “As Maine goes, so goes the country.” The 1936 models are: “As Maine goes, so goes Vermont,” and “As Maine goes—so what?” To A1 Smith, John W. Davis, Bain- bridge Colby, Alf Landon, Alice Roose velt Longworth and other detractors of President Roosevelt and his admin istration: PHOOEY! Saturday night Father Coughlin, the political priest who so bitterly as sailed President Roosevelt in the re cent campaign, sang the swan song of his National Union for Social Jus tice and retired to the innocuous de suetude from which he never should have emerged. Pax vobiscum. Safe Advice, Brother. month; Tom carried over about half of what he owed each month, and increased his balance steadily until he got so mad at me and my wife and my 4 clerks and my delivery boy that he quit trading at my store al together. Brother Davies, over in Barnwell, in his People-Sentinel, “urges every qualified voter—man and woman—to go to the polls and vote for Roosevelt and Garner." That was safe advice to offer his readers, and the returns of the elec tion Tuesday indicated in no uncer tain manner that the voters of Barn well County took his advice, and did just aa they have done since the days of reconstruction—went just about aolidly for the Democratic ticket. In fact, the solidarity of the vote just about convinces us that it was indeed a good thing Brother Davies did not advise his “subjects’’ to vote for Lan don and Knox.—The Bamberg Herald. While thanking Brother Hitt, of The Bamberg Herald, for his nice compliment, we take no credit for the magnificent vote given President Roosevelt by Barnwell County citizens. In fact, we do not believe that the newspapers “cut much figure" in the results, inasmuch as about 80 per cent, of the nation’s press favored the election of Governor Landon. The people, fortunately, were “hell-bent" to re-elect President Roosevelt and even the fact that the Kansan’s name ended in “on” was of no avail in stemming the avalanche of votes. Truth of the matter is, we are a little Jisapointed in Barnwell County’s vote. The official tabulation shows nearly 1,100 to 1, two negroes in Barnwell having voted against the President A And \vh|n we say “against,” we mean just that, as we are informed that they wanted to vote the Tolbert taction’s ticket and, none being available, they voted the Hambright ticket insread. Those two Republican votes in a county that cast over 2,150 for a man who has done so much for the masses .(negroes included) are thorns in the flesh. Our chagrin is greater than Jim Far ley’s over the loss of Maine anld Ver- | mont. ..Harry paid a few dollars on his bill every now and then, mostly then. His wife and mother-in-law were sick nearly all of the time, and his monthly rent fell due every week and he had to take a lot of medicine himself. He managed to borrow 65c from me every Saturday night to finish paying for a prescription at the drug store. He still owes me $154.65, but he’s dead and don’t know it. Dick and his v*ife usually efime to the store and bought what they Wanted, -being careful as to the price and the quality. They carried nearly all of their purchases home with them and I rarely ever had to send the chores boy to their house with a package. Dick was a funny fellow; he hated “duns” and we never sent him one. He always paid around the Jirst of the month. Tom and Mrs. Tom phoned for their stuff, or sent word by Susie, the 4-year old daughter who was too lit tle to tote anything home heavier than a spool of thead. Mrs. Tom always called for goods we didn’t carry and we’d have to go out and buy them for her. She sent back about one- third of the articles she ordered; noth ing wrong with them much—“just ain’t what I told you to send me.” Mrs. Harry always phoned for 5c worth of cheese at 11:45 for lunch. She never failed to order a bunch of celery and a dirtie’s worth of butter about 8 minutes -before closing time. The first our delivery boy made every morning was to Mrs. Harry’s house with “something for breakfast.” She evidently considered it a sin and a shame to phone an order for an item until 3 minutes before she needed it and then she’d phone every other min ute thereafter till she put it in the skillet. She lived 2 miles from my store. Harry moved to a distant state owing me $324.66. But I hope folks of today have more consideration for their friends, the retail merchants, than they had when I was trying te believe that “the customer is always right." Mi-Lady's Fall Head-Gear. The women are wearing their new Fall hats, and, believe me, they are a scream. There seems to be six different and distinct styles this season, as folldws: (the few tea-cup styles are not included in this setup.) J\C(/c/ the remark a hie reeonl of THE WORLDS FINEST MOTOR OIL (jTULFPRIDE’S achievements have never been duplicated by any other motor oil! The reason?

All the women wearing these hats so far, ac cording to my eyesight, are about 95 per cent bare-headed. What will they not wear if its stylish? (Ans: Noth ing. 1.—The pan-cake type is the most rmpressive. This shape looks exactly like a pan-cake with a crispy piece of breakfast bacon lying on top of it. Some of them appesr to have a bite or two nibbled off the front and back edges. Priced: Cash, $4.93. In stallment price, $6.00, balance at $1 per month for d months. 2—The waffle design hat looks slightly like a hat . Its trimming consists of something that resembles a dough-nut plastered on the flat crown with a tooth-pick and a tail- feather poking east and west to hold it down. The brim and the crown are the same height. This hat looks bet ter if hung upright on the back of the head. Down payment, $7.98, bal ance on easy terms. Cash price $6.49.

Years and years ago, I ran a re tail grocery store for 6 months in the year and that same retail grocery store ran me for the other 6 months in the year. The life of a retailer who extends credit to everybody who says they will pay him “next week” is indeed a bed of thorns. 3. —The saucer model is the same size as a saucer, but it is worn up side down. It fits the head exactly like a postage stamp fits an orange. The trimming is unique and appears to be a cross betwixt a butterfly and a doodle hole which is attached im^ mediately above the left ear. I* seems that this pattern has a few nitches chipped off as if the man had been drinking coffee out of it and bit it occasionally. Priced, cash—$8.79. no terms. 4. —The dish-rag ensemble is the most stunning. It is made by mash ing a dirty dish-rag straight down to the thickness of a custard plate; all of the frazzled edges are left or. This is the largest hat of The season and is intended for women of 50 who claim that they are under 35. It comes only in brown, and sells for around $15.57, Cash. (I know.) A Week-End Pleusure Trip. ...Nothing would do the wife a few days ago but that we go and spend the week-end with her Uncle Bert. I ain’t much for spending nights away from home in anything except hotels, and even then—I want everything 100 per cent; meaning a bath-room, soft bed, 2 pillows, and an inch carpet on the floor. On account of the Civil War, which Uncle Bert was in, he never got along very well, hence these fine appointments were minus in his home. We arrived at our rendezous— (meaning his 1-story 3-room, bunga low type cottage) about dusk. After toting our bags in the sitting-room, known as the “company room,” I went with Uncle Bert to slop the shoat, milk the yearling, shut up the chicken house which contained 2 roos ters and 3 old hens, fed the mule, and fetched in 2 pails of water. both quilts were securely wrapped a- round Uncle Bert. He had both pil lows stuffed under his wooly head. His toe-nails clawed me unmercifully. He out-snored a hippopotamus. He pushed me out of the bed 13 times. He slept neater the middle than on his own side. He grunted and groan ed and growled. 1 thought (and hop ed) he was dying once or twice. Final ly day break came. I saw the morn ing dawn and the sun rise for the Ant time in 21 years. If I hated a man unto death, the awful lest punish ment I could mete out to him would be to make him sleep with my wife's Uncle Bert 2 nights per month for a year. 5—Type hat number 5 is exactly like one-half of the pan-cake and one- half of the waffle model, cut in two and stitched together. Its trimming is 2 beads on one side and 1 bead on the other side, with a canary wing- feather stuck on top of it. My customers consisted of Dick, Tom and Harry. Dick paid op every. 6—This hat is worn by rich folks only. It looks like a coffee cake that had been sat upon. Its gaudy trim- minig ia a black bow of ribbon about the size of a dirt-dauber’s wings af Bed time finally came. I had al ready discovered that they had only 2 beds; one of their grandsons was “staying” there; that’s all, just stay ing; he hadn’t hit a lick’s work since 1920 when he lost his old horse by death and his small farm by automo bile and mortgage. That meant more to me than an absentee might think. I knew I’d haVfe to sleep with Uncle Bert. OUCH! Skyscrapers N*«d Solid Base Skyscrapers In New York city sre built In two clusters, one on the lower tip of Manhattan island and the other about four miles uptown near the mid dle of the Island. The reason for this Is the presence of bed-rock near the surface on both these portions of the Island to form solid foundations for these huge structures. The ground be tween these two points was once a hlg marsh, since filled In and covered with buildings of lesser height and weight. It is unsafe for the tall ones, which are Inclined to settle because of unstable foundations. .*. T y y y i Along about 8:30, Uncle Bert and Aunt Minervy said—“It’s about time to retire and go to bed.” We went. Uncle Bert is lank and boney. His whiskers were long and wiry. He pull ed off his shoes and hat and coat and britches, and crawled in the “bar” side while I took the “gee” side of the old feather bed. No man ever spent such a night as I spent. Uncle Bert turned over at the rate of 15 times per minute, and at every turn, his whiskers swept into my eyes, mouth and face. His elbows poked into my spare-ribs like unto post-hoje diggers. His knees squeaked and bumped me “a la billy goat” style. He munched something betwixt his teeth ever and anon, and the smell of tobacco juice was abroad in the room.
