Oar usually alert Lake City j correspondent is guilty of the' foil woing ambiguity this week: "Another man in town likes 'possum too. He is fattening one now. T>_?:J.. .tU.J il.ltMnia, Via rrivM if JWI1UCB UVUCl UEIIIMK1VS MV BXV? bananas. We're been doing our beet to find out when thie fellow is to be routed, bnt hare failed miserably". Now we submit that the excerpt * enclosed in quotation marks is eqairocal to the last degree. The two preceding substantives are man and 'possum. Then comes this significant sentence: "We're been doing our best to find out when t^is fellow is to be roastWho is "this iellow," the 'possum or the man? By the context we should judge that I the man is the antecedent referred to, and we would suggest to onr amiable friend that be "roast" him throngh the columns of The Record, rather than literally grill him on a gridiron. Another point of argument to strengthen the case against our Lake City scribe, which proves beyc^d the shadow oi a shade of donbt that the proposed roasting referred to the man and not the 'possum, is the use of that self-same. word roasting. What gourmet or con-1 Douceor in the delicate products Of the wild wood ever heard of toasting 0 'possum. To. realize the true richness of this denizen of the forest he. should ; first be singed (or ? "swinged"), . * then cooked so "done" that all the bones can be extracted. When this is accomplished, then the next 1 step in the culinary process is to shred it so that every fibre stands apart. Then, as Bob Taylor says, "You may talk about vour nertaters and about your y * perturnips, but my favorite beverage is a nice, fat, juicy, 'possum." "When it comes to the subject of 'possum we fear our Lake City friend is only iu the kindergarten class. Oscar II., King of Sweeden, died last Sunday in the royal apartment of the palace. The highest tribute to his worth was the cry of the assembled multitude of his subjects when the colors on his palace turret were lowered to halt-mast: "Our dear old king is dead." The death of Col. William Elliott, which occurred last week at Beaufort, will be mourned by his many friends and admirers in Williamsburg county. Col. Elliott was a gallant Confederate soldier and the work he did for his State? especially the coast country?in time of peace did much to en. hance his distinguished service in * upholding the honor of the Confederate flag in time of war. Col. Elliott was a Carolinan of J the noblest type, whose memory South Carolina is proud to hon- c or. c c The question of over produc- 3 ; tiou of cotton in the South | seem3 to be in a fair way of | working out its own solution. < Labor conditions are euch at the r I ' j present time that the old method i of planting hundreds of acres, j using another man'& money as; ! pure speculation, is impossible, j J When the Southern farmer can j i realize the fact that he can getr the same money for a two-thirds | normal crop, which means the ' curtailment of one-third the lab&r and expense, then indeed1 : will he become independent, ^ j especially if be expend his super- u fJuous lands and energy in grow- ' ing live-stock and the proper kind of food to make them bring the highest market price.
