ONE DISGUSTED EDITOR. j
Will Swap Paper for Farm? I
Tired of Empty Honor.
Newspaper publishing is the great
bonanza of the century, The coin
rolls in and can't be stopped. The
broom is not able to sweep it all up,
so fastly does it accumulate.
But the smell of the ink and the
clatter of the machines grow weary
to one's ears, and we want to get
back to the farm, where life moves
along in the even tenor of its way,
ever serene. And we want to trade
^ the Journal for a farm.
About the receipts: Well, last |
week, an average one for the year,
the amount of money coming in,
''1 ? *- ?f iiraethoimmpn^p
Wlinoui geiluiK wui,noo
sum of $3.59. Three fifty-nine in
one week. Think of it! Ain't it
great? %
Here are a week's expenses:
Labor $12 50
Rents 7 00
Paper and postage 5 00
Ink, lights, fuel, licenses.
taxes (average) 3 00
Incidentals 50
$28 00 i
The above does not give ye humble
servant, the editor, one penny.
He's got to get groceries, pay rent,
dodge the doctor's and druggist's
bills,the grocer and wood man, keep [
body and soul together and continually
be cussed as a damned scoundrel
and dead beat, and as one that
does more harm than good to the f
community. %
If anybody wants the above prop-!
osition notify us at once. There is j
nothing but HONOR in the enter-11

NO CONGRESSIONAL BATHS.
Appropriation for Bathroom Attendants
at the Capitol Defeated.

Washington,Decernt>er i<:?mem- (
bers of the House of Representatives ,
who desire to take baths in the fu- (
ture will have to do so at some place j
other than the elegantly appointed 1
room in the House office building (
fitted up for that purpose, provided j ]
the House finally adopts and the Sen-, (
ate concurs in an amendment made ,
to the legislative.executive and judicial
appropriation bill by the com- ;
mittee of the whole House on the (
state of the Union. The section appropriating
salaries to the attend- j
ants at the bath was stricken out and (
a further amendment provided for ,
the sale of the bathroom fittings and
the return of the money to the treasury
of the United States. ,
An effort to have salaries of
clerks to the House members increased
from $1,500 to $2,000 was
defeated.
A Broad-Mlnded President.
The Hon W H Taft, President of j
'he United States and a Republican, j
has appointed as Chief Justice of the
United States supreme court the I

a Democrat and an ex-Confederate!
soldier.
What a man is this Republican
President.
He has received the unanimous i
applause of the nation for this and ;
other excellent selections as Associ- j
ate Justices of the court.
The Columbia Record says it is a
little unusual,in fact,unprecedented,
that a President should appoint one
of another party than his own to the
Chief Justiceship. Mr Taft has not
only appointed a Democrat as Chief
Justice but has appointed two Dem-j
ocratsas Associate justices?juuge |
Horace H Lurton of Tennessee and
Joseph R Lamar of Georgia. Both
of these, as well as Justice White,
are not only Democrats but Southern
Democrats.?1 >onngebn rg Su n.

THE NUT TO CRACK. '
Many Answers Snbmttted?Mr
Jack McColIongb the Winner.
So many answers came to our little
problem, "A Nut to Crack'', that
it is a hard matter indeed to decide
an the winner. The prize was'offered
free and unconditionally, no strings
tied to it, and the only fair and impartial
way to award it was to go
through every paper and carefully
consider its merits. After examining
every one of two dozen or more
submitted, we decided to award the
prize to Master Jack McCullough, of
Benson postoffice, the fourteen-yearold
son of County Superintendent
rj..?
ui Duutanuu ivi^vuiiuu^u,
Nearly every one of the answers
received solved correctly the little
puzzle and most of them were written
and expressed fairly well. There
are two methods of solving the puzzle:
one by pouring first into the
five gallon keg involving six steps;
the other, starting by pouring into
the three gallon keg requiring seven
steps. Mr McCullough's solution
svas the first that came in, but we
iid not consider that, as we wanted
to give those living at a distance
the same showing as the near-by
mes. We adjudge him the winner
because his paper was the only one
that gave both solutions correctly.
other, Mr David Woodberry of
Johnsonville, gave one method all
right, but on the second (possibly in
copying it off) he omitted one step.
It is gratifying indeed to note the
interest excited among the school
children by the puzzle and erelong
we hope to give them some more
"nuts to crack." Our only regret is
that we cannot give to each little
one who responded a year's subscription
to the Youth's Companion and
the Companion calendar, the prizes
offered.
Mr McCullough's two methods of
solution are given below:
Editor County Record:?
I offer the two following solutions
to your "Nut to Crack", seen in this
week's "Record":
No 1. Fill 5-gal keg,then fill 3-gal
keg out of 5-gal keg, leaving 2 gallons
in 5-gal keg; then pour the 3galIons
into 8-gal keg. Pour the 2 galIamo

then fill 5-gal keg again, and finish
filling 3-gal keg from 5-gal keg,leaving
4 gallons in 5-gal keg.
No 2. Pour the 3-gal keg full,
then pour it into the 5-gal keg, ther
fill the 3-gal keg again and finish
filling the 5-gal keg out of the 3-gal
keg, leaving one gallon in the 3-ga!
keg. Then pour the 5 gallons back
into the 8-gallon keg; then pour the
one gallon from the 3-gal keg into
the 5-gal keg. Then fill the 3-gal
keg once more and pour into the 5gal
keg, which already has one gallon
in it, making 4 gallons in the 5gal
keg and 4 gallons in the 8-gal
keg.
Jack McCullough.
