VOL. 14—NO. 16 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1951 + $1.50 PER YEAR BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Now about that clock that collected the money and paid dividends at Colonel Frick’s coun try drug store up there in our stone hills of the D .tch Fork at Chapin. It was a low black marble-look ing clock like some folks bought for their homes back then. It was about twice as wide as it was high and had a sweet melodious strike to it. But it did not strike the hour. It struck when you dropped a nickel in a slot there in the edge of it and threw you out a token good for five cents. And that is what you paid for you stuff with. The main point about that clock was that ever so often it would strike twice for a nickel and shoot out two tokens good for a nickel each. And on rare occasions it did it three times for a nickel! We hung around that place on co many Saturday afternoons that, we learned its timing. Every seventh time it would give two. But if it failed to do that, you knew r that the ninth one then would bring three. We would go in there and wait until the firpt person got a jackpot. Then we would count. Others just put their money in, got their check, paid their bill with it, and went on. But we didn’t. Three of us would go together. Then if the seventh coin didn't give but one token, we knew that the two nickels the other two boys had would get that jackpot of three. Then the three of us would have five tokens for the three nickels that were our spending money for the week. Our plan was to get a pineapple or milk ice each. And then the extra token or two, which was clear profit, went for candy. And we divided that. That went on for some years, until that clock wore out. But in the meantime, it had served us well. We had been enriched by much candy that we otherwise would not have had. For then tfcat extrp. dime would buy a pound or more of candy. I’ve told you that this store had a lot of penny candy, the first I had ever seen. That candy took on various imitations. Next w r eek I must tell you about a few.

President T. B. Amis presided over the meeting which was at tended by a representative group of the livestock producers of the county.

Mr. L. F. Cato, Extension Live stock Specialist of Spartanburg, spoke briefly concerning the .^ew bull testing program to be con ducted by Prof. L. V. Starkey and his staff at Clemson college.
