Gus tuck Prank Morrison along with him and they wuz gone three days and nights, but on the fourth day they got back tu Casar and said that the half had never bin told about the land—nor ever wood be. They said hit flowed with whis key and money and that hit wuz a fair country tu look upon. They brought back samples of what they found. Prank had sum In a jug but Gus had swallared his and hit wuz taking effect on him. Doc Buff tuck the stand and swarc that Gus Richard wuz the drunkest man ever produced in Casar.

Screen-Grid Radio Is Now On Market Perfection Of Tonml Qualities And Elimination Of Hum, Says Shelby Dealer. Atwater Kent Is the first manu facturer to put screen grid radio on the market, according to announce ment by Shelby Hardware com pany, distributor in Shelby. Simul taneously with this statement his new receiver has been put on dis play by the company’s distributors in their respective cities scattered all over the country. The announcement accompanying the appearance of the new model sets forth a series of impressive descriptions of its performance, chief of which are perfection of tonal reproduction and elimination of hum or extraneous noises. It Is said that the utilisation of the screen grid has produced an instru ment which is practically silent, except for the desired tones which come Into it from the mlsrophone. It is so quiet that its makers have deemed it necesary to equip It with a pilot light, which shows at all times whether the power is turned on or off. It was feared that with out a pilot light, listeners would forget to shut off the power at the conclusion of programs, because no sound would emanate from the speaker under such circumstances. The new radio has been produc ed only after thousands of hours of experimentation and testing in the Atwater Kent laboratories. Its pro ducer feels that In its perfection and its highly sensitive and precise character it represent the culmina tion of twenty-seven years of ex perience as a manufacturer of elec trical equipment. Anticipating the demand for the new model, the fifteen acre factory where it was produced has been geared up to top speed and on May Ji a new plant occupying sev enteen additional acres will be put into operation. MEMORIAL SERVICE AT LATTIMORE Memorial service will be held at Lattimore third Sunday (May 19). Professor A. C. Lovelace will speak at 11 o’clock. The public is Invited.

Daylight Savings Time Bother For Senator Overman Washington.—The venerable Unit ed States senator from North Caro lina-Lee Slater Overman—wants it known that, while daylight saving time probably is a good thing It works a hardship on him neverthe less. For a long time Senator Overman has arisen in the time to take his dally dosen by radio. He is 75 years old, but he allows nothing to inter fere with his morning exercise. Institution of daylight saving time forced him out an hour ear lier, because Washington use stand ard time and the radio went to daylight time. At first it was rather difficult, but now he says it isn't so bad. He does admit, however, that he will welcome return to the reg ular schedule of hours next fall. Senator Overman is one of the most remarkable men on capitol hill. He has been in the senate 26 years, is the second ranking Demo crat of that body and fourth among both parties in point of service. He holds three of the most important of committee posts, being the rank ing Democrat on the senate judi ciary, appropriations rules commit tees. Looks The Part. He Is easily spotted on the floor of the senate from the galleries. In fact, he has been described as look ing more like a United States sena tor than any of his colleagues. He possesses every physical character istic that one expects to see in a senator. No one works harder or keeps more regular office hours. He al ways can be found either at his of fice or on the floor of the senate. If the senator is not engaged in reading some senate report or pour ing over the pages of some public document, he is enjoying a myttery story or novel. Anything of this na ture appeals to him tremendously. He also is an ardent radio fan. He not only tunes in on the setting up exercise at 6:45 in the morning, but also on the evening programs. Motoring is the only outdoor amusement that interests him. He does not car for sports in any form, and, despite the fact that Mrs. Overman is one of the most en thusiastic of anglers she never has been able to arouse much interest along this line in the senator. Aided In War. During the war Senator Overman was one of President Wilson's right hand men. It fell to him to aid the president get his wartime meas ures through congress. That his services to Wilson were invaluable to the chief executive is evidenced by this letter from the president: “It is admirable the way you have been handling these important bills, and I thank you with all my heart for standing by the bill which bears your name without any compromise of any kind. You are a splendid fighter.” Copeland’s HEALTH TALK # Breathing And Diet Factors In Health By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. V.

If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad dressed back to you.) <>■■■11 ■■ ■■■■■■■ Not ions? ago I had a letter from a lady living out In Ohio. She wrote very appealingly, telling me about the distressing time she has had. She is so very nervous that it is almost impossible for her to carry on any sort of work. Her nerves are on edge all the time. She Is losing weight, cannot sleep at night and all in all is in a very run down condition, and yet the clocto rs can find no evidence of actual disease. The trouble with almost every person of this sort is the lack of proper nourishment. Instead of weighing a hundred and thirty pounds or even a hundred and thirty-five pounds, the poorly nourished little woman weighs only a hundred and ten or a hundred and thirteen pounds. Whether the patient is a man or a w'oman, the chances are the weight is at least twenty or twenty-five pounds under the proper point on the scales. What can be done to increase the weight? Upon the success of the effort to gain weight aeponas the outcome of the case. Uk. In the first place there must be an abundance * °f fruits and vegetables. All sorts of green vegetables are Important. Lettuce, cabbage, endive, spinach, as well as tomatoes, pears and beans, arc indicated. All the fruits especially oranges, will do a lot of good. An abundance of milk is a necessity. But it is not enough merely to feed an undernourished person. i-ioper weignt cannot be gamed by eating alone. It Is safe to say that most- skin ny and undernourished persons do not breathe as deeply as they should. No good will come from the food unless the lungs are opened widely. There must be a full supply of oxygen. I wish to emphasize the impor tance of deep breathing. It is es sential to good health. The food will not be burned in the body un less there is a free supply of oxy gen In the lungs. Deep breathing should be prac ticed by everybody. I hope every reader will give heed to this state ment. Sometimes I recommend blowing exercises for the develop ment of the lungs. Of cour.se it is not the blowing that does the good. But in order to blow it is necessary to fill the lungs with air. This is what we are seeking to accomplish. In writing to the young woman in Ohio the other day, I told her that in my opinion an out-of-door life will do more good than anything else. Let me tell you exactly what I wrote. “Go out on a farm. Wear a farm erette costume, and get close to nature. Perhaps you can find a place on a chicken farm. It doesn’t make any difference what you do, so long as you are in the open. Gardening, working In an orchard anything that gives you a chance to use your muscles and at the same time to occupy your mind will be helpful in upbuilding the body.” Then I added these w-ords: “I have taken pains to write you these facts because I am sorry for you. But don’t be sorry for yourself! Exert yourself in a physical way and keep away from the office work that is so annoying to you. With general improvement in your health, your nervous system will respond.” Think about what I have written, you undernourished ones. Perhaps this advice will do you good. Answers To Health Queries.

They are very thin Hoseless Gals, Hatless Boys Life for the clothing manufactur ers is Just one guess after another. One gathers from reading the clothing trade Journals this spring that there are two altogether new and perplexing problems which are worrying the manufacturers not a little. Are many women going bare legged? Are many men going to adopt the ever-growing fad of do ing without hats—rain or shine? Last winter a party of South Car olina tourists made their first stop in Florida at Ponce de Leon's “fountain of youth.” The historical interest was somewhat dulled, how ever by the appearance of a bevy of flappers in their sun-back dresses and bare legs. It was but the intro duction to a tidal wave of bare legs that extended from Key West to Pensacola. Everybody was doing it. “As goes Florida goes the nation,” is the rule in summer fashions. Hos iery manufacturers and retailers took note of the hoseless fad and began to wonder. They are still won dering, the trade papers indicate. They want to know how far the “back to nature” movement will go, whether the fad will be halted by a preponderance of legs that don't look so good stockingless. Calm assurance is furnished by The Dry Goods Economist that "the bare legged fad will be limited to flappers, who form an extremely small percentage of the average store's clientele." Retails are urged not to buy “short” on stockings; perhaps even the flappers will want to keep their nether extremities pro tected from briars and poison ivy. On the other hand, the flapper army is constantly increasing, in cluding nowadays quite a few grand mothers, and if the army does de cide to go hoseless it may be more than ‘an extremely small percent age” of femininity. me other object of clothing de nial is not so bothersome, but is rather a trend whose momentum seems to become greater each year. Men are not so sensitive to fads as women, not so easy to follow Dame Fashion, but once a habit is adopt ed it is infrequently discarded. That is why hat manufacturers don't like the idea of more and more men do ing without hats. The college boys started it several years ago, and it has spread to all save the bald headed species who can’t expose their craniums to the sun without penalty. The Hat Institute has is sued a statement decrying "the silly habit of going without a hat adopted by a few irresponsible boys” which "does nobody any good and does considerable harm, both to the boys themselves and to the hat in dustry.” They should adopt some catchy slogan to mend the evil hab it, such as. "reach for a hat in stead of a freckle.” Oh well, it ought to be another great summer! Greenville News.

New Marriage Law In This State Will Go Into Effect On July First The new marriage law enacted by the last legislature in regard to giving notice of approaching' mar riage is as follows: “Section I. That on and after July 1, 1929, application for a mar riage license shall be filed with the register of deeds at least five days prior to the Issuance of such li cense, giving the names, ages and addresses of the contracting par ties, together with the names of the parents of persons in local parentis: Provided, that upon the application of either of the parties to a propos ed marriage the clerk of the su perior court of the county in which the license is to be issued, may up on the satisfactory evidence being presented to him, or upon the re quests of the parent or parents or guardian, if any, or of the con-, tractlng parties, by order authorize’ the license to be issued at any time before the expiration of said five days. "Section 2. This act shall not ap ply to marriages publicly announc ed through the press at least five days before the proposed marriage. This act shall not apply to persons over 21 years of age. So it will be seen that only those under 21 will have to tell of their intentions. Old maids and widows are still safe. Other states are wrestling with the marriage laws but nothing sat isfactory will ever be evolved until a national law is passed and South Carolina will never permit a na tional marriage and divorce law to get through. California has a law requiring three days to elapse between the is suing of a marriage license and the wedding. Tennessee has recently a law, requiring five days notice of intention to wed. The Texas legislature is consider ing a bill requiring 10 days notice of intention to many. New Mexico has a proposal of a 30-day notice before its legislature. These laws are being enacted in part to stop the “gin marriage" evil, growing out of sudden engagements at drinking parties, when minds are under the influence of liquor and any kind of foolhardy dare is ac cepted. But Californians who don't want to observe their state law sim ply cross into an adjoining state and are married before the ink on the license is dry. This always happens where states undertake such legis lation. Ten years ago Nebraska had such a law, justices of the peace in Kansas, Iowa, Wyoming and South Dakota then did such a land office business the law was repealed.

At* l Trtajurt Drop Hundreds Of Feet And Still Lives Robbinsville.—The story of a mir aculous escape from death when the car in which two men were riding plunged off the highway near here for a drop of several hundreds of feet, and of how the two men, one with a broken shoulder, a broken collarbone, and two broken ribs, somehow managed to scramble back up the recipitous and rocky face of the mountain to the road, was told here. The accident occurred Tuesday night, near the lookout on the Top ton-Robbinsville road, where the mountain drops sheer for at least 300 feet. It was at this point that a woman was killed several years ago. Willard Slaughter, of Robbins ville, who received the broken bones was rushed 70 miles to Franklin to a hospital, where he was expected to recover. Elbert Martin, from Tennessee, his companion, escaped with bruises. The car was demolished. BILIOUSNESS Arkansan Convinced Since His Childhood That “Black Draught Can’t Be Beaten” For It. West Helena, Ark.—“I am fifty two years of age, and I have taken Black-Draught, when needed, all my life,” writes Mr. G. L. Smith, of 253 North Third Street, this city. ‘‘When I was just a child, my mother made Black-Draught tea, and gave It to me for colds and biliousness. It was a family medi cine with us, “After I was grown and went out on the farm, working hard, I would get a dull, tired feeling and a bad taste In my mouth. I would know then, that I was bilious. I would take a few doses of Black-Draught, and soon feel good as new. “In later years, I have taken Black-Draught and it has helped me for constipation and biliousness, and I am still of the same belief, as when a child, that Elack-Draught can't be beaten.” Thousands of men and women find Black-Draught of great help in relieving the common ailments, due to constipation, biliousness and in digestion.
