By Haywood E. Lynch Well, folks, when you road thl?, i hope to too down In South .Carolina with my family on our way to the Kinga Mountain Wlntar Colony al Palm Harbor, Fla., to visit Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Campbell. We hope to make Jacksonville, Fla., the first day and then on into our destination the next. Mavbe if I am not too tired and busy running around with Attornsv Ed,. I will writte my column there next week and mail it back in time for the next issue. The master of this column s going to have his hands full, his responsibility is very big. He is leaving here single handed with five females along, namely, one wife, one maid, and three daughters. That boy I used to write about w'c'uld certainly come in handy right now. The longer I live in Kings Mountain the better I like it and the more I hate to leave it even for a short trip. Just to illustrate how friendly and helpful the people are: P D. Herndon furnished me with a hiap of Florida, and" Georgia with all 'the import int places to see marked but, L. F. rtord offered to lend me a gasoline courtesy', card, Nell Fulton explained how long It took to go fiom one place to another, Moffett Ware gave me several highlights of Florida, Charlie Thomasson marked out entire rout* from beginning to end, Hunter Nelsler cautioned ua to be careful about the cows and hogs in South Georgia and North Florida, MTV' Mma*"Ol<S?Te cat, Ruth Thomasson Is custodian of our canary bird, George "Whlttlngton is going to pinch-hit for the editor rext week, and other things to numAMIIO mantiAti una UM IS sua ctvua h; myimwii. ov /vv >??v n(i*v good friendly folk* here, and I am glad to go on this trip, but I will tell you right now. I will be glad when the front end" of my car enter* the city Jlmits of Kinga Mountain, The Best Town In the State. Master Gene Mauney came home from playing with the Eden boys across the street the other day and said to his daddy, Auvtrey, "Bob Steele can draw faster than Gene Autrey." Papa Mauney displayed -hl? Ignorance by asking what did BoL' draw with. P. D. Herndon presented me with a grapefruit he personally selected from way down In Florida, beyond Miami, on his recent business trip In that section. It was without a dcubt the sweetest grapefruit I ever tasted. The newly formed Merchants Association Is already functioning und*< the direction of Mrs. George Moss. 8he Informed me that tier office had already furnished Information on the Editor of The Herald. I had made application for a courtesy card. I am not so sure she gave me a good report, as I have not yet received the card. - ~ * \ I had the pleasure of seeing anJ talking with that typical Southern gentleman, Mr. D. J. Keeter of Grower who was up here in the store ruesday. He has a way of making everyone feel good, but he made me feel extra aood. the first thing he did was pay for another year** sub crlptlon fo The Herald. Mr. Keetei still had hla crutches with him, but he looked1 none the worse for his acoldent,' and will soon throw those crutches away and outrun his son, Byron, In a foot race. Clarence Carpenter la back home from California. He says he stayed out there long enough to elect the rirst democratic Governor the state ' as had in 47 years. One of my spy reporters Informed -<e last .that .Mrs. Andrew McGIII was around at Mrs. Henry 8ummitt's spinning thread on an old fashioned spinning vW<eel. I wanted to slip In on the demonstration but I had ssv ral visitors In the office and could r.ot get away. That picture of the captured whiskey on the frortt page was taken by Cameraman Harold Hunnicutt, who accompanied Yours Truly at the scene of the raid last weak. Fred Stallworth, congenial mans ger of Balk's, stopped by last night to bring me a box of candy ?? But Fred ate moat of the candy. Las 8ettlemyre called me last weak to tell, me to stay down, he would bring my dinner to me. The phone call came In on Groundhog day. Preacher Boyoe, . School Barnes, and Cleaner Logan wore talking ebout my ear yesterday afternoon In front of the Post Office. I earns out just in time to hoar one of them Say, "When he .grows up it will take big car for him, If It takee one that hi* tor him now."

He informed me that he had heard I was going to Florida, and nainSe J to knew If I had received permission to leave town.
