Nobody’s Business GEE McGEE— (Exclusive in The Star in this section.). Fetch l!p Some Ice-Water. While wondering around over the world jerking what I might devour. I frequently run into the unusual as well as the uncommon. Nov just last week, I stopped at a nice hotel in a nice town. The man agreed to let me have a room for a whole night for only $6.00, and because I got in late, the rate apparently had nothing to do with the price oi that room. Well, that room had a bath at tached and a good bed with the hotel's name engraved on the counterpane and a pretty brass spittoon was in evidence right close to the little desk, but as I don't chew or smoke or drink, 1 found no use for the depository. The carpet on the floor was soft and ooey, and everything was “ap ple pie." but denied If I can see why the use of a room for 3 hours is worth $6.00, but that's EXECTTOR S NOTICE.

In stead of being rested, I felt ter rible. "At last, moth er told me to take Cardui, and I did. After the first bottle, I could tell a difference, and when-1 had taken five bot tlae the tired feeling waa all gone. I felt like a dif ferent paraao, thanks to CarduL I hope that other mothers will try CarduL I have bean wonderfully benefited by it." Try Cardui in your case. i the price I paid. A boarder in an ordinary city can rent a room as good as that In every respect lor 10 dollars a month. —— I slep as hard as I could that night sos I’d get my money’ worth, but if "down yonder’’ is any hotter than it was in 700, may the paths that I am to trod from now on be strewed with fewed temptations. I sweated and per spired and rolled and tumbled till almost time tor the cork to crow, and woke up 3 hours later with a crick in my neck. There was no electric fan available; they went with the "10-dollar-and-up rooms, only. I had occasion to gaze upon a real he-flapper the next, morning. He blowed into the coffee shop while I was coffe-tng. The first thing he did was pull off bis coat and hang It on the rack. He wore no hat. His shirt collar was wide open and his britches were ex actly the size (at the foot-end) of a guano sack. He looked like his mother had swatted him in the face the day he was born with a coal shovel, and his stature evi denced a lick, on his head by his daddy before he got able to do more than stand alone. And I hope he busted the wash-pot all to pieces with that lick Gosh, folks, that guy certainly had a good opinion of himself. He ordered those good-looking wait resses around just like they were slaves. I looked for one to sdup bowl him, but site didn’t. Did you ever watch a smart Aleck func tion? Well. If your stomach ts not toow weak, try that stunt on your eye-balls the next time one meanders around in your midst. I understand that it is against the law In some states to kill he flappers of the type herein des cribed, but it and the Volstead law ought to be repealed The orchestra and everything were probably worth my 6 dollars, and inasmuch as 1 had 3 dollars and 25 cents left when the time came to depart therefrom, I sup pose to complain would be anarchy, however—2 dollars is enough to pay for any of those 6-dollar rooms. The laws of the land wink at some forms of rascality. If a man Jumps his board bill, hp can be ! arrested and imprisoned. if he gives a bogus check for 10 gallons of gas and a quart of oil, he can likewise be “took to law,” but if he buys a ham on credit and gives a verbal promise to pay for it • next sadday.” and fails to do so, he can't be reached with anything short of a shotgun. A profession al deadbeat is the same affliction in the commercial world that can cer is in the physical domain. There are 3 distinct types of church members. There’s mr. Jones who prays, and r.

For a man to be a successful prohibition enforcement officer, lie should know how to shoot straight, and he should also be taught never to hesitate about shooting.

That Enchanting word, full of deception, and cank ered with inslduosity front P to Y. Prosperity (to most folks) means spending what you haven’t got, buying everything you can do without, flying, frolicking, high-liv ing in rented homes, riding in mortgaged cars, dodging their cred itors, and blind to a rainy day.

U Is Vacation Time Again. Uncle Joe went to the mountains on a vacation year before last. He owned no automobile at that time, so he made the trip in his two horse wagon which was pulled by two mules, the same being under mortgage to the livery stable and a graphonphone company and a light, Intng rod agent, but these impendt ments did not prevent the afore mentioned livestock from averag ing around 14 miles per day. Uncle Joe took Aunt Mincrvy along to do the "turns,” and lie carried all of his younguns except Sammie and Bill and Joe and Sal lie Sue. He left these “five-head" at home to look after everything. He arrived at Pigback in due course, and made camp. Everythin:; portt-nded toward a most magnani mous time, as the poet-ess would say. Tt was the purpose of all con cerned to take things easy while at. Pip bark. It seems that every body left all of their troubles at home: It happened that the vaca tionists In question parked within 150 yards of the “Rest,-Long" board ing-house which was owned and occupied and run by Mrs. Sarah Mandy Jones from some place up north. Mrs. Jone* was doing some re novating at "Rest-Long" and found that she had 3 or/4 good (?) cotton mat Jesses to sell, it being her in tention to keep fewer boarders than had been her custom in the past She bounced Uncle Joe for a trade, and as Uncle Joe was shy | on mattresses. he agreed to pay Mrs. Jones 1 dollar apiece for them if she'd wait till he caught enougn fish in Blue Water creek to pay the cbligation off. This arrange ment suited all around. Uncle Joe’s folks tried to sleep on those boarding house mattress es the first night, but not a wink of repose came while they were seeking the services of Morpheus through the medium of counting sheep and trying to repeat the mul tiplication table backwards. The in mates of the camp resumed their slumber efforts on the pile of fod der which Uncle Joe brought along in the wagon, Aunt Minery decided that the mattresses ought to be denuded and the contents thereof vput to some good use, and denuded they were right there and then. Uncle Joe stated that he got 24 pounds of oat straw and 29 corn-cobs and 12 pounds of shucks and 4 bunches of hair and quite a lot of chaff our, of those mattresses. He said that the boarders had worn the 19 pine knots he found so smooth that they looked like polished billard balls. He fed those mattresses to the mules, that is the straw anso forth, but kept the cloth and burnt tire pine knots. He remarked that summer boarders ought to fetch along their own bedding if they are seeking peaceful sleep. He went home and forgot to settle with Mrs. Jones. Speaking Of Night-Riders. T met. up with Jimmie Slick down town the other night. Jim mie clerks in a grocery store. He had a brand new Ford with rumple seat and 4-wheel breaks and bal loon spares and everything. The last time I had seen Jimmie, he was still skeetlng around in his old 1928 Ford. Jimmie seemed somewhat apolo getic for owning the new car. He said that his old car Cthe 1928 model, bought in December) was getting kinder rattly, and that it wouldn't be long before he would have to buy new' tires for it. so he traded it in. He intimat ed that he simply wasn't able to put out any money on the old boat. <And I wondered how' hed be able to run a new cne then). The garage man allowed Jim mie 1 hundred and 75 dollars for his car and cancelled the 4 un paid instalments thereon, and this left only 7 hundred and 55 dollars to be "installed" on the new car, all of which was written down in the mortgage which Jimmie sign ed. Jimmie seemed perfectly charm ed with his investment. (Yes, that’s what he called it—investment). He had his initials put on both his doors in gold letters so’s he would know it was gone if anybody stole it. Jimmie said business was rather dull at the store. But he felt sure the boss was going to keep him right on through the summer. (He said he Was the best salesman Mr. Pool had). Jimmie’s wages are 17 dollars a week, and after he pays his monthly instalments on his car, he will still have nearly 4 dollars to pay his board with and buy gas for tne car and visit the soda fountain about 7 times a day, and meet his other incendiary expenses. I believe Jimmie will be able to meet his obligations all right if Mr. Pliool doesn’t bust before the final instalment rolls around. Jim mie counts the cash at night, ami if Mr. Phool were to deprive him of that privilege, no doubt a few’ payments would lapse, unless, of course cash trade picked up in his department. Jimmie dresses mighty well to be a mere coun try lad with only a few months In the city. Jimmie is popular with all of the best looking flappers. He takes one to the picture show nearly every night, and on Sunday—he bundles one up in his car and drives her up into the mountains or down to the beach where she can cool off ansoforth. (It is aw fully warm in our town these Sab baths). It is quite commendable in Jimmie to be so industrious, and there are several other boys In town that's making good just like Jimmie is. His folks and their folks will certainly miss them when they are gone—to the penitentiary. Kings Mountain Car Found In Tennessee Kings Mountain.—Two boys giv ing their ages as 16 and 17 and their names as Ralph Johnson of Kings Mountain and Glady Hoyle of Cherryville, were caught in Wafev ly, Tennessee, Monday night of last week as they were attempting *c> rob b, filling station, according to a newspaper report from that city The car they were driving answered to the description of the Chevrolet landau stolen from in front of the Methodist church here the night before and belonging? to Mr. Henry W. McGinnis. Some Tennessee of ficer sent the news paper to officers here. Chief of Police C. S. Hedrick accompanied by Mr. Paul McGinn's and Mr. H. T. Pulton, jr., left Sur day midnight for the six hundred mile trip to bring the car back. It is doubtful if they can bring the robbers as they will likely be de tained in Tennessee to answer for their attempted robbery of the fill ing station. ■ 'V HOW MONEY GETS AWAY A lady went into a mil linery store and asked the price of a certain hat and was told it was $10.00 cash. She asked the priced on the installment plan and was told it was $15.00— $10.00 DOWN and $1.00 a week for five weeks Your money won’t get away if you realize the su perlative quality and avail able power in SINCLAIR GAS.
