I am a Latin student, jl hate that Latin class, Comes third period in the morn ing, I know I shall not pass. You make me expose my ignorance Before the Latin class, In the presence of my enemies, I know I shall not pass. To translate those sentences, While in the Latin class, Just gives me nervous shivers; I know I shall not pass. ’Tho I study ’till midnight, I’m the dullest in the class, No Latin knowledge I can gain; I know I shall not pass. Rome gives me a headache, When I enter the class; Caesar’s always fighting, I know I shall not pass. If you only knew how I love you, When I come into the class, You’d give me better grades, And try to let me pass. Pass me please, O gentle teacher, Hear my humble cry. While the others you are passing, Please dear teacher, pass me by? Through life’s struggle I am pass ing And this Latin is so hard, Perhaps some day I shall leave it, Before I’m placed beneath the sod. ELIZABETH CRAWFORD. —X The Better Job ONLY FOUR YEARS AHKAI> (Anderson Daily Mail.) the air and the restfulness of the voyage. The wealth of the United States, by the latest estimate, is $361,- 800,000,000. That is for 1929. It would be somewhat less now, but let the sum stand. It means $2,- 977 per capita. Call it $3,000 apiece. That is how much we have got ahead in money, houses, personal effects, building lots, farms, livestock, motor cars, railroads and other public utilities, stores, hotels, fac tories, mines, public buildings and useful works of all kinds. We are said to make this show ing on an average income of $682 a year. That, too, is less now, but never mind. It suffices for the present purpose. A simple bit of figuring shows that, after three centuries on this new continent with its vast re sources and opportunities and a century and a half of national life and concerted planning and enter prise, we stand about like this: If the average American quit working for a little more than four years, he would be worth nothing. Our whole vast aggregation of national wealth, the hold-over of so much toil, struggle and thought, so far as we are concerned per sonally, would be exhausted. in four years, if we all began “living on our fat” like hibernating bears. And yet many of us think we should reduce our working time to five days a week and four or five hours a day less and spending more.

James prompt ly replied, “Polynesia Cracker.” The other day when it was rain ing, Sara Bracknell went into the Dixie Store and asked for a pair of chains to go on her car. The man ager told her they only sold groc eries. “How annoying,” said Sara, “I understood this was a chain store.” J. P. Sullivan told Bill Bracknell that he had invented a gas saving device. Of course Bill asked him what it was. J. P. replied, “Don’t get married.” I hate to drag Elsie Langley in to this but no fooling—she thinks a Caboose is an Indian baby.

Believe it or not, but Brooks Cowan said that he actually saw If I were running a factory I’d stick up a sign for all to see, I’d print it large and nail it high On every wall that the men vjalked by, And I’d have it carry t his sentence clear: “The Better Job that you want is here!” It’s the common trait of the human race To pack up and roam from place , to place; Men have done it for ages and do it now. Seeking to better themselves some how; They quit their posts and their tools they drop For a better job in some other shop. It may be I’m wrong, but I hold to this— * That somehow something must be amiss When a man worth while must move away For the better job with the better pay; And something is false in our own renown When a man can think of a better "town. So if I were running a factory I’d stick up this sign for all to see, Which never an eye in the place could miss: “There isn’t a better town than this; You need not go wandering far or near—■ The Better Job that you want is here!” Eyes examin ed.

A company has been chartered by the State of South Carolina to drill for oil near Allendale, in the vicinity of a spot where the own er of a garage says he discovered indications of petroleum, and it is said operations will begin at once. It might be said that any owner of a garage could find graces of oil about his premises, but that would be too flippant a dismissal of the possibility of a rich discovery. Still, there is no use to go oil crazy just yet in these parts, but a thorough and a scientific examination of the evidence should be made. We had a fine thrill a few years ago over what was supposed to be the appearance of an oil deposit near Summerville, and outcropings were seen or scented on Johns Is land and at various other points, feut the only petroleum products to be had hereabouts are still at the numerous filling stations and this region has not become a pros pector’s camp. New sources of oil are being found, of course, in most unex pected places, and it may be that there are large deposits under the surface of South Carolina. Prob ably if a drill could be sent deep enough pockets of petroleum might be taped at anjf point of the earth's surface. But drilling opera tions are expensive and oil is not bringing such rich returns as it was a few years ago, and there are economic limits to its production as there are to all enterprises. However, good . luck to the searchers in Allendale county and may they strike a gusher and make millions and bring new wealth and prosperity to South Carolina.— Charleston Evening Post.
