Ike’s Tale v <w w jw eu Deer Star Reeders: Hit won’t do tu have anything printed In the Star If you don’t aim fur everybody tu see hit. Tuther time 1 rote fur the paper I sed sumpthin as how that Sal had bln sorter funny-llke but had got back tu normal atter taking a few doses of a tonic I mix myself, corn llkker being the principal Ingredient. Hit wera’t printed in the penny column, but folks took hit tu be a advertisement and cum tu buy— they cum all the way frum Wards Gap tu about 200 yards below Earls station. I never seed as many sick folks in all my life before—sick, but able tu be up an going. Decatur Waxlick wuz the first tu make ap plication and I thought about not lettln him have any fur you all know how he is with whiskey in him; but he ted he wuz Jtst obliged tu have sum fur his stomach's sake so we let him have a gallon of No, 1. Decatur wuz in bad shape but soon as he had took the third dose he peartened up an now he takes ev erything he can git his hands on Deputy Ed Dixon wuz next tu ar rive, sed he’d take five gallons fur his friends what lives thar in the court house Jist across the hall frum him. Ed has got me and sum other fellers in trouble heretofore and calsed us tu pay heavy fines an the coot. Hits a puty good rule not tu say anything about a feller un less you can say somethin good—sc we will hus about Ed rite now. Fm a time hit peared like we couldn’t keep any ahead, Sal got up the yarbs an bark, me an Bill furnished the whiskey: but Sal Jist had most obliged tu cook a little an pick the bugs offen our tater patch, so we finally left out everything but Jist the whiskey—but if anything our trade got better until I don’t believe thar wuz a filling station any whar in Cleveland county that sold any more liquor than me an Bill did. The people air sickly and folks read "The Star” everywhar an we handle good stuff, is the reason. About the toughest bunch that cum wuz from Lawndale, down on the river, we jist couldn’t do a thing in the world with ’em. The way hit wuz Walter Leg and Pierce Richard (him and Qus air cousins) come along tu make ’em behave but soon as they got up here in the mountains whar me an Sal lives, why Walter and Pierce (Gus' cousin) they throwed the thing in reverse an done things that I don’t aim tu tell. Atter while the liquor sorter died down in them and the Lawndale boys got ’em tu promise tu restore all our property back tu us four fold whar they had wrecked or totally destroyed. About the time they wuz out of site Sal lifted up her eyts and beheld a grate multitude coming that no man could number they cum frum the four comers of the earth—mostly from Shelby. Time wuz when Sal had tu git out an wash clothes fur a living, but since prosperity hit us it has been six weeks since she has -ven washed her face.. IKE.

Textile Mills To Curtail Work Soon Several Mills Will Halt Operations Entirely For Week During July. Charlotte, June 12.—The Observer says it has learned from semi-offi cial sources that practically all southern textile mills will sharply curtail production the latter part of this month and early in July.

Other mills, the paper says, are planing to operate only every other week during July and Augast in an effort to regulate supply to demand in the hopes of obtaining better prices for their products.

The most expensive department during the 1931 session was the en rolling department, which cost the state $28,984 for the 141 days it was in operation. This department was under the direction of Secretary of State James A Hartness, who em ployed the clerks. At one time 47 clerks were employed in this de partment and had to work In re lays because there was not enough | typewriters to go round. The 15 comely and pulchritudi nous ctvr.ndttee clerks employed by the senate which sometimes had to work as much as four or five hours a day, but generally not more than two or three hours at most, were paid $9,560. Most of these were cut off before the session ended, how ever, though a resolution to cut them off weeks earlier was defeat ed in the senate by the lobbying of the clerks themselves. The house, with its membership of 119. had only seven committee clerks, which cost only $4,600. In the senate, the Rev. A. Corey, chief engrossing clerk, and his corps of good looking clerks received $9, 241 in salaries and $214,60 in travel ing expenses. In the house, Mrs. George Iseley, chief engrossing clerk and her assistants received $9,993 in salaries and $146,60 in mileage allowances. The cost of the principal clerk’s office in the Senate, including all assistant clerks, was $10,809 while the cost of the principal clerk’s of fice and assistants in the house was $10,145. Both chief clerks had 12 assistant clerks. TRUSTEE'S SALE.
