i PAGE TEN J HERE - THERE I : A column of comment on jj persons and things seen ti here and there over the roads of Carolina. By BRODIE JONES "Could you tell me where C. L. T/-v?oc the hirH man lives, buddy?" %J UiAV/Uj V44V V44M , r My question was to a small, fine looking chap on the street of Weldon the other day. "Down that way. Ill snow you if you want me to." He climbed aboard and I asked him his name. He was William HawKns, a grandson of the late Marmaduke Hawkins; of Ridgeway. I found Mr. Jones at home, all right, and he is quite an enthuisast about birds. The living room holds a cage half its size in which there are species of native and foreign birds. He told me much bird lore nnd then asked if I wanted to see a killdeer pat his foot for a worm. Of course, I did, and he called the bird, "Come here, boy, pat your foot for a worm." The bird satisfied his appetite by the exercise while I was there. If you doubt it, call on Mr. Jones. | When you nonchalantly pick up a receiver today, it never occurs to you that it is inelegant to say "hello" ?and it isn't but when the telephone was first installed, it was so considered. Mrs. W. P. Mercer of Edgecombe county was at Warrenton the other day talking about the installation of one of the first switchboards in what is now the Carolina Telephone Co. system. The system was installed in Dr. Mercer's home by Howard F. Jones, afterwards superintendent of the company. "I remember very well all young ladies were taught to say 'hey-o' in addressing a receiver," Mrs. Mercer said. "I remember when 'doctor' whipped a young man about the place for saying 'hello' in the presence of a lariv" Well, the world do move! DOES IT NEED STUDY? Clarence E. Skillman of Rocky Mount sends me the following clipping: "Maj. Charles B. Oldfield, assistant commandant at Brooks Field, San Antonio, Tex., is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Oldfield, at Edgewater. Major Oldfield made the trip by airplane and was accompanied as far as Washington by Hon. Melvin J. Maas, of St. Paul, Minn., a member of fhe military affairs committee of the House of Represen-j tatives, who has been studying methods of LYING training at Brooks Field. Going way back we find thai: people of France would not eat Irish potatoes for a long time because they were grown beneth the ground and consequently "were close to the devil." The King of France popularized the lowly potato by wearing a blosom as a buttoniere. Below Enfield the other day I saw ono man driving a car about 15 miles per hour and another holding the halter of a mule which trotted along behind the machine. It couldn't have been an army mule. A telephone conversation between tenth grade boy and a ninth grade girl (true story, names only fictitious) : "Hello, Mabel, is your mama there?" "No, she's at the show. "If your daddy there?" "No, he's at work." "Is the baby sleep?" "Yeah, been sleep." "Is the dog tied?" "Yeah." "Well, be patient, sweet papa will be there in a few minutes." And thus a reckless Romeo went a-courting. The sonny, tousled headed child with that inquisitiveness which touches the sublime, asked his mother, "Whj made me?" "God," answered the mother. "Mama, where does God keep his sewing machine?"

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams of Inez visited in the home of Mr. Macy Pridgen awhile last Tuesday night. Miss Elizabeth Powell of Inez and Mr. Eugene Davis of Edenton were THE H A Ne Vol. 1 A. Jones, Editor "Jump, lady, jump!" shouted the firemen holding the life-net to the movie star, who stood at the sixth-story window with the flames raging behind her. "I'll do nothing of the sort," she shouted back. "Tell the director to send my double here 1 this instant." "My dear, you must go to my new beauty doctor?she's simply marvelous. She'll make you look like another person." We know a former hockeyplayer who now uses his old shin guards when he plays bridge with his wife. A man could save himself a lot of trouble by marrying his second wife firsa. ????. ' Remember when this used to be a dirty crack? "With a voice like yours, you ought to be in the movies"?
