AMD HIS NZVfS
AT ME BO VALLET
Mrs. Bill Rom and M1m Slaton
spent Sunday night with your reporter.
H. Y. It., and wife from the city
were dinner gudsts at Belk's Sunday
I was sorry to learn of the death
ol my friend, George Short. I talked
to him on the streets the fourth,
then death called him away the
next day. Oh, well. In the midst at
life we are dying.
Bilbo vows he will fight till hell
freezes over to retain his senate
seat I cant blame you Mr. Bilbo. I
don't like to see a man kicked u
round.
Pun is something like insurance.

Kings Mountain got Job In tho
I I Clotho mill, I got what 1 called for
; 75 cents U^wegi* eg.
6 looms. 73 hours, 6 days in tho
week. I got weak. Board was $U0

weaker but I got along vory well.
Folks weren't so dam smart as they
are today. I like this new age bottir
tho.
China, what a country it must
be alter ton years on tho war path
China la tods^r suffering acutely
from what Mr. Churchill called the
disease of war. To begin with, there
la physical deterioration. I have lived
to eee floods, famines, and refugees
in times past, but nothing Uke
Chins. They havent had enough So
eat, no never. They are anemic, that
is what the doctors call H, Full of
parasite, dysentery and
'
,,, Then there is economic deteriora,
tion. China loot Her major railroads
and the Ysngtas River valley which
Is far more Important to her transportation
than the Mississippi River
valley is to ua. Although this made
It lmpoelble to get food and sulphur
from the areas of plenty, China w: tl
never do any better than people
doomed to starvation and disease.
They fight and starve right on.
The other day I met and was
talking to a soldier boy from Manilla.
He told me the political machine
has been shattered and broken.

Rome. The General Hospital.ls

> Mrs. William Wright in her COlumn
admits I'm not a poet, anyway !
I like your column and you are not
u dumb bell and It* true I'm not a
poet. I haven't even been called by
chat name. 1 may yet become a
poet, tho.
Only two of the Gospels out of
the four in the New, Testament tell pi
of the hlrth of Christ, and how He
was worshipped by the Shepherds
and the .Vise Men. The chapters
have the same number in both Matthew
and Luke.
The very first commandment di
recta us to make the Creator the object
of our supreme love and reve.
ones. 1 know He's right, and the
third forbids profanity. If there be a
God, He ought to be worshipped and
is by a few.
I never thought rd be a poet.
