He told me to return in 5, day’s o promptly in 10 days. I was | before him again. It seems that he 1 had "investigated." me His politely! notified me that 1 must balance my 1 budget before X could count on him [ lor anything else. _ l When your financial papa tells you that your budget must be bal anced, there's nothing else to do but get busy and see- that it is bal anced, so I immediatelv took up this work necessary adjustment First, I decided that 1 would have to send my wife to the "Old Ladies” home. She's rather young to' go there, but I've got to balance my budget, ain't I?. I next decided to send 5 ol my j children to any orpnanage. (1 will have to keep Jerry—so‘h I will have ■ omebody to drive r.iy car). The orphanage might comolam about .the adoption of so many youngsters but they simply must understand :that I’ve got to balance my budget I have already written the Federal Landbank of to take my farm: I am moving out as soon as I can find ! a place to go where there's a good I house and a nice garage that I san rent on credit ! The telephone company began to 'help me balance my budget about 3 weeks ago: they took my phone out ! The "Pay-As-You-Sleep” house ■ hold Furnishers lent their assistance also: they hauled my bed back tree of charge and took mV cow which 1 stood as part security. The radio ire-possessed my radio, but I had ! taken the precaution to move 7 of | the tubes—which I can trade for gasoline. % In order to completely balance my budget I called on my doctor and grocer and milker, and finally got them to give me a receipt in full: they knew I had to balance my budget, so they thought repudiation of my debts would possibly suit them all right, as they did not ex pect me to pay them nohow—if 1 | kept my car—and it's a cinch that I am going to keep it. j— Folks who have money seem to j be getting liardboiled what I need ’ is more credit. My liar-bllities should have nothing to do with more cash. It’s a funny world we are living in: alien I had plenty dough, my creditors wanted nothing but the interset but now—when a , dime looks like a full moon, they want both their (past due) interest jand all of their principal. I can possibly make enough to keep my automobile running ana buy to bacco and coca cola, but danger if I can support a family or. top of all that, so Mr. Financier—you may keep your money and my debts, as my budget can’t, be balanced as the puglic don’t take care of me when I act a fool. Ex-Postmaster Tells I Of Paying For Job Soys Foster Suggested He Pay To Party 5 Per Cent Of Salary. Greensboro.—"He said he thought j ; about five per cent of my salary would be a reasonable contribution and I told him I had made up m: mind to give about $100 to the committee, provided I was reap pointed,” J. B. Fagg, former post master at Leaksviile, testified in United States district court here al . luding to a conversation which he I said he had with W. H. Fostei ' secretary-treasurer of the Repub!i-| 'can state executive committee, in the po6toffice at Leaksviile in 1930. I “I had asked for reappointment.’ This testimony was given naar j the close of the first day of tl:e i trial under the two indictments j embracing a combined total of 57 I counts of the United States got-1 lernment against Mr. Foster, chare 'ing him with soliciting funds for i political purposes from office hole |ers in a federal building or e'se | where on government property, i Mr. Fagg was not reappoints postmaster at Leaksviile, but he did occupy the position at the time of the alleged conversation with Mr. Foster. The secretary-treasurer I of the Republican state executive Icomir^ttee, the witness said, in formed of his connection with tm Republican state organization arid stated that "he was looking fer finances.” < Shy South Carolina Girl, Invalid, Saved Mt. Vernon For This Nation Mi** t unningham W orked Hrroi- j call.v To Save Washington's Home. While the whole state of South Carolina was honoring a shy. In valid girl who surmounted Insup erable dlfficui'les and saved Mt Vernon to be a national shrine hy impressive ceremonies in the state, house ground at Columbia, last week, Virginia Leigh Porcher. vice regent for South Carolina of the ladies Mt. Vernon Association cl the Union, issued an appreciation of Miss Anne Pamela Cunningham which tells somethings of per achievement. The description of the work of Miss Cunningham is r.s follows: While the whole United States ir honoring the birth of General Washington, we, of South Caroline should not forget the part taken by one of her daughters in the res cue of Mount Vernon from the ruin that threatened it in lfc>3. Jliss Anne Pamela Cunningham was born in Laurens county, S. C. She was the only daughter of a family known for Its wealth anj its hospitality. She inherited tl o fine qualities and high Ideals that had marked her family for gen erations. The conditions ot her life seemed perfect, but as a girl, a fall from her horse injured her spine and made her an hfvalid for life. In. the. effort to find help for her, she was taken to Baltimore, where the doc tors gave her little rope It was ivhile Mrs. Cunningham was re turning home after leaving her daughter there, that she passed Mount Vernon. Distressed bv the condition she saw there, she wrote her daughter and suggested she make the object of her life work the restoration of this place. What Shy Invalid Did I would like you to picture ti e invalid, hopeless of recovery shy and unfamiliar with business un dertaking this stupendous task. Nevertheless she accepted the idea with interest and began to write powerful letters to the Women of America, signed. "A Southern Matron." When she was able t< travel, she came to Charleston and Interested a group of influential people, who formed a society, and worked with such enthusiasm tint: the first public subscription was raised here. The distinguished law yer. James L. Petigru, was amont, them, and he la^er drew up a con stitution, which is a ^protection ;o the association today. It would take much too long time to tell of the many vicissi tudes through which Miss Cun ningham passed—among them be ing the change in mind of Mi Washington to sell the place, jus when the *200,000 necessary seem ed in sight. She went to Mount Vernon, tra veling most of the way on a cot; and found there a mortified and disan poimed man. He had offered the estate to both Virginia and. the United States and each had de clined u> buy, and Mr. Washing ton refused to s.e'l to a lesser pow er. By a happy chance. Miss Cun ningham missed the returning boat and was obliged to spend the nig! there. In the morning Mr. Wu-.t - tngton called her to. his office and said her conversation the eveni: g before had convinced him of her unselfish interest and that he had decided to let her buy Mount Ver non. Did Much Hard Work I will not dwell on the many dif ficulties she had hi raising the money or the loyal support of her devoted friends. She Immediately formed the Ladies Mount Vernon association of the Union, of whi"h she was the first regent. It was not long alter the asso nation was formed that the Wai of 1800 began. Reverses.of every sort came to Miss Cunningham and lor four years she should not e't to Mount Vernon, but faithful hands kept things going* and she resumed her duties and remaiin'i the regent until 1874 Today we of the association mce‘ each May, to find every posstbV arrangement made for our comfort Not so In the old days—women took thetr needles with them. They sowed and cleaned and repaired the old draperies and the broken fur niture; they gave the best they had and spent’ weeks working for the restoration of the Mansion In Miss Cunningham's splend'd farewell address, dated June 1, 1874, which Is read at the beginning ot each council, she says Ladles, the home of Washing ton is in your charge—see to it you keep it the home of Washington. Let no irreverent hands change It: no vandal hands desecrate it w.th the fingers of progress! Those who go to the home In w inch he lived and died wish to see m what h*. lived and died. Let one spot in ti ls grand country be saved Iron change. Upon you rest thl duty,' Such is the charge that the reg ent and vice regents of the Moure Ve non ladles association, try to keep , Miss Cunningham died in 187,' Chicago Puts Sales Tax On Everything Chicago.—Chicago Iih thou'll. up another way to cure its financial Ills, The latest idea is a sales tax on everything from chewing gum to limousines, and was proposed by Alderman John Toman. The tax would be concentrated on what To man cant'd "unefsentlals” such as theaters, boxing shows and lodge membership fees. The city council considered To mans suggestion at length and then decided to ask the city attor ney for a ruling on its legality. Unusual For Southern Man To Have Chance Such As Garner Has Now lor first Time In Year* Snulhrm er Seriously Talked for President. Washington.—It la an extraordi- i iiai-y thin* in politics when „i .southern Democrat becomes recor-l m*cd aa • presidential posslbillt I Speaker John N. Garner ot Tr -1 as Is now commonly classed with > [Newton D. Baker of Ohio and Odv-j ernor Albeit C. Ritchie of Mary-j land as a man who wilt have an actual chance for Vis pa^v s ra ru ination if and when Govern.,' Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York i is blocked at the convention Many of the experts insist that Own®, may be as strong a candidate for the honor ius either Baker or Ritchie. This writer still believes that the j ability of the antl-Rooeevelt poll ' llrians to stop the New York gov-1 ernor, even with such aid as they gel from A1 Smith, is problematical. s But it is a distinct possibility. j And when you start looking pa, Roosevelt you observe that wherc uK Baker and Ritchie have acquir ed no perceptible new strength in the last month or so. Garner ha. lumped into the picture—for th; first t.me- -in an almost phenomei - al fashion. There's no space to analyze the Garner boom, its possibilities and m. handicaps, here, but the main reasons why a southerner is at las' actually given a look-in at the! the nomination may be outlined as follows: First, Garner is the symbol ol recent Democratic victory and ct mounting Democratic hope Ev« iy Democratic eye hat been upon him since emigre*, met In December. He Is the Democrat who hold jthe second most powerful political office in the nation. He 1* the reel leader of his party hit its attempt to convince the country, by word and deed, of Its ..ujierior fitness to rule. That is important. It would oe considerably more Important. c( course, if tie were from a large northern state. Tiie really solid thing behind the Garner boom, to use the words of Al Smith, is to be found in the rec ord. The rough, honest, stright-shoot ing Mr. Garner of t,hc Texas plait s has given what. ran only be de scribed as a remarkably fine pci - forma nee in his twin functions as speaker of the house and party leader. He has served his party whi ttle wisest possible brand of pot; Sics while serving his country in a time Of strain. You hear hardly a whisper of criticism about the w-y he has done either job. Garners leadership the ts ab solute boss in the house) and ht qualifications for leadership are not being question any more. Even the Democrats In the senate havt had to fall In line behind him. The astonishing thing is that Garner has taken the reins with a mere party majority of five—a ma jority so small that nearly every one had confidently anticipated a chaotic congress and a great pro longed brawl in which politics would be the constant keynote. He began by organizing the house and distributing committee assign ments without friction among Dem ocrats -surmounting a hurdle which hap seemed almost lmposs; Me. He soon had even the Tammany delegation eating from his hand— and attending sessions regularly for the first time In years. Today, de spite that tiny majority, he heart., a party organization as solid as any ever seen in congress. To achieve it, he had to demon strate a superior combination of tact, firmness and intelligence. He * auu l iixvujD had to convince virtually eveij [Democrat that he was being hnn «*t, wise and -air. Similar qualities were demanded as he was lorced to | devise a Democratic tariff program which would back up the national Democratic management's constant j lire on the Hawley-Smoot act and I yet command the general support [ of Democratic congressmen. He Impressed everyone by the j firmness and success of his i'fm i to line up his forces behlM Um b-c | construction Finance tee | moratorium and other name of the Hoover economic program *lV [had people calling him a sWits ! man. They may also soon recall that he used to be known as “Fighting jRCk." Still Uses Horse In Mail Delivery H*WuWr._ j h» old fray mare is rtlK *nt> uwd to be even If she is chanced ever year or so. William C.

Chappell delivers over a twen ty mile route and five miles of It contains no public road where an automobile could pass. Town Is Debt Free With Cash Money Talladega, Ala.—Debt free and with money in the bank, finance? was the least of Talladega coun ty's worries. The county financial statement showed a cash balance of *2(5,200.30, a budget for the year financed and no bonded or other outstanding Indebtedness. S*t Pays To Advertise reason -Fro* Just think whal this means for Chesterfield smokers. It means that the larger part of 90 mil, lion dollars is invested in Domestic and Turkish tobaccos that are being properly aged in Na ture’s way, and cured so as to make them sw eeter and milder. CHESTERFIELD tobacco is packed in wooden casks, each containing about 1,000 pounds and stored for two years in modern, up-to-date warehouses. Tlie&e warehouse?, if placed end-to-eml, would be about foifr miles in length. From floor to ceiling they are filled with lljese casks of line tobacco, ageing in Nature’s slow but 6ure way. It takes a lot of money to make a good ciga - rette—money to buy good tobaccos and money to age them properly. CHESTERFIELDS are milder, and taste better ... there’s a 90 million dollar reason why!
