An open mind is all right if you know when to close your mouth. Fate still favors the nessaries of life. Milk is up, but gas is down. Americans are people who feel rich because they charge one another so much. Running for office takes a man out into the open?and often it leaves him there. ? It's a dam lazy man who, when se lecting a lawn-mower, will pick out a sheep. A sour face usually indicates that the milk of human kindness has turn ed to clabber. Some day the Coolidge-Dawes ticket will go down in history. > Yes, it will go down in November. This wrong-number business might be much worse. Suppose telephone girls worked in shoe stores. Did you ever notice the promptness wiith which candidates on a national ticket begin to go to church? A return of the prodigal cook these days arouses more enthusiasm than an assorted collection of prodigal sons. - . Cats apparently do not like to live in the White House. Possibly too many watch dogs of the Treasury around. The old-fashioned men who used to blow out the gas now has a grandson who starts up his engine in a closed garage. The next thing we expect to hear is that women, denied any other ex cuse, are bobbing their hair to cure flat feet 11 - ?*?~ A good reporter gets all the facts of the accident except the name of the owner of the ankle the driver was staring at So far as we can learn, everybody who took oil fees from Doheny is ashamed and scared; but nobody gives back the money. There is a little romance left in the ary now that they are making the vacuum take the place of the curry comb in manicuring mules. Bobbed hair seems to have robbed woman of a great deal of her effic iency. Minus her hairpins, she isn't the mechanician she used to be. We sometimes wonder that man near Medford, N. J., who advertises "Apple jelly and pedigreed pups for sale," if he-ever gets his deliveries mixed. ~ 5 . "Those fishermen have a hard life,?, says the first man. "Oh, 1 doat ? know" replied his tired-looking friend. "Think of being able to go fishing without quitting work." Senator Robinson of Arkansas has been expelled from a golf club because he hit a man in the eye. Day by day "Personal liberty" is becoming more and more a memory in the United States. ? ? I i ? THE S. C. MARKETS OPEN "| WITH MEDItJM PRICES. (continued from page one) 1 / Crop observers indicate that the grades will be greatly improved with in the next few days. , Columbia, S. C., Aug. 6.?Prices covered a wide range in the independ ent tobacco markets of South Caro lina, which opened today, according to reports received here tonight. The Florence market, on which ap proximately 25,000 pounds were sold, ranged from $4 to $25 per hundred pounds. Other markets reported prices as follows: Dillon, $3 to $45; Timmonsville, $25 average; Darlington, $18; Hartsville, $14.80. Two hundred thousand pounds were reported sold on the Kingstree mar ket, but the prices paid were not available here. Sales of 450,000 pounds, at an average price of 15 cents per pound, were reported from Lake City. Senator La Follette takes Senator Wheeler up on the top of a mountain ! and shows him a kingdom of 48 states and says "All these will I give you if you will fall down and worship me." But the "promised land" has a mort gage on it, held by John W. Davis and Governor Bryan. John Phillips Sousa says that the dry law has made it impossible to write comic operas like those of the good old days. Maybe it's because a sober audience won't stand for such stuff. - - , ' - * ' \ " j "Do Flappers Make Good Wives?" asks a magazine. You can't tell yet. The flapper is an institution of com paratively recent origin and none of her has been married long enough to furnish conclusive data. , ??-?? , ' \ *h Dcmpsey Through?#] A passing speedster r e swiped Jack Dempaey's sedan?putting his car in the ditch and the champion in the hospital with a basted right arm.

C. . # ? ? ?? This Week ^y^SyErbbaiie A THREE-WORD SPEECH. FARMER'S DAY. CREAM FOR RAILROADS. WALL STREETS TRINITY. John W. Davis means to hold the short speech record, a wise, almost L. pious resolution. He will "accept" his nomination in only four tbpo umd words of talk. Great moderation and setf-con -trol,- you say.- Yet in thirty-one verses of the first and two verses . of the second chapters of Genesis the Bible describes the creation of earth and everything on it. And the whole thing, including the rest on the seventh day, ?told in about ONE thousand words. For brevity And beauty, candi dates, editors, and especially ad vertisement writers should study I ? the Bible, especfcftttr Genesis, Job, | Isaiah, and Jbe Sermon on the Mount.
