NEWS IN GENERAL
Hja refusal to preach over the body
of an Americah doughboy killed at
Chnutea-Therry because the coffin
was draped with the Stars and Stripes
has caused the Rev. John Snavely.
Lancaster, Pa., to become the storm
center of an investigation just
launched by the American Legion ofthat
city. The body was resting ih the
vestibule of the church and the family
gnd friends were waiting when the
minister issued his edict. The Legion
immediately took charge of the remains
and obtained another minister.
i
An. amendment to the federal tax
bill was adopted by the House as a
result of the efforts of Representative
H. P. Fulmer, of Soutn Carolina, including
in the exemption from federal
taxation not only the gate receipts J
or agricultural fairs at present, but
also admissions to any exhibit entertainment
or other f>ay feature conducted
by such association as part
of any such fair, if the proceeds
therefrom are used for the maintenance
and operation of such agricultural
fairs.
A crime wave at present sweeping
England, Ireland! and Prance is proof
that crime.in the United States can
not be attributed to prohibition, Dr.
Robert O. aMtthews of Washington,
representing the national prohibition
commissioner, declared in an address
at the national W. C. T. U. convention.
A group of jAmericun farmers,
comprising the advance guard of a
colonization scheme said to involve
more than two hundred families from
the we a tarn United States, arrived in
Peru, South America, recently en
route to the Pampa del Sacramento
valley along the eastern head waters
of the Amazon riyar, in northern Peru,
where the colony is to be etsablished.
A quick trial was promised by District
Attorney Swart for William A.
High tower, itinerant baker, who was
was held to answer to a charge of
murder in connection with the death
of the Rev. Patrick Heslin, Col ma,
California, priest.
No additional details of the reporting
shooting UP of MacCienny,
coutnjy ??! of Baker county, Fla.,
Saturday night are available and the
fldfeir is as deep a mystery as when
_ ^vglexi brought news to Jacksonville
of the occurrence Telephone
calls to various citisene ef MacCienny
and surrounding towns elicited the
response that they would not discuss
the matter. MacCienny is only thirty
miles west of Jacksonville but the
(raviiy 01 me nuuBupn was ;na:catcd
by the fact that although the shooting
occurred Saturday night nothing
was heard of it in Jacksonville
until Monday. Persons who brought
the news said there were no casualities
but that the fronts of two stores
on the principal business street were
demolished by gun fire.
A beautiful day is the smile of the
great spirit.

| A SLICK SALESMAN
A few days ago a liquor salesman
visited Cheraw and Bennettsville and
it is reported that he picked up a couple
thousand (rom our good citizens.
The advance-agent of booze (claimed
to be case goods) informed his eager
purchasers that a truck was following
him with the liquid refreshments. It
is said that a good many of the
aforesaid citizens of the two towns
purchased heavily?stocked up for
Christmas. The salesman stated that
h? would arrant. i-fiarVt Ik. ?

chasers not wishing to leave any trail
behind them, shelled out the long
green. ,
For a short time after hra depar-'
ture there was a smacking of lips in
anticipation of some real stuff?none
of your home-made brand?but before
long the pleasant anticipations
were changed 4o anxious expectancy,
and then dire grief, for, lo, the truck,
with its cargo of 'O be joyful," has
not yet arrived and now the "leading
citizens" are sadder but wiser, while
a smooth booze salesman is taking |
life easy at some mountain or sea-1
side resort with a pocketful of the
coin of the realm.

that they will take part in the our I
club work in the near future, and will ;
be a great help to our culb.
Miss Haynie gave a demonstration
on jelly making and table dressing,al- I
so she gave many different recipes'
on how to put up things for home use, 1
Miss Haynie is doing some faithful
work for the club and they all seem 1
to be very enthusiastic over the work
she is doing.
Some of the young girls of our vi- i
cinity seemed to be verv enthusiastic
over the club work, but still we want
more of the young girls in our club.
So Let's get busy gifls and join the
viub. You can't realize what a nice1
time we have in the meetings; besides
the things we can learn. So
many things that we need to know
(and are going to need them in the
future). * I
The club has not decided where the
next meeting will be, but all mem
bers will receive cards in regard to
this when the place of the meeting is
decided. I
We hope to have a larger crowd of
ladies and also girls at the next
meeting. We are sure Miss Haynie
will give an interesting demonstra-!
tion, so let's everybody attend.
