Old man Chips is somewhat on the
| sick list aud doesn't feel like writing,
but our friends keep asking for more
| hips. Why don't You write ottcncr?
Are You ont of ships? and The like.
Oh, no, friends. We never get ont. We
iro continually hrwing. but at times
We do not feel we'll ana ii is a burden
u writc.
| Died, last Sunday evening after II
brief illness, tn" oldest daughtcro Mr..
and Mrs. lrcnnus Cousin, age six years.
| We extend our sympathy to the be
reaved parents. Such crosses are hard
to bear, but "" must submit to Him
who docth all Things we'll.
| Since our last writing the sick list
has increased. Mr.. and Mrs. /. G.
| Fellers only little boy is seriously sick
! Mr.. Thos, w. Gallman's family is near.
| ~ all sick with colds and grippe, and
his little son Thurston is quite sick
! with pneumonia. Messrs. NJ. l.. and
|
list for the past week. Mrs. J. l..
! kinard and little daughtcr, Ellen, are
also sick. Some fover prevails in our
home circle. If We have missed any
It is because we arc not in possession
OF the fact. We arc hero to report the
news for The Herald and News, and as
long as we write We will always report
such rs we consider news in an imrar-
| tial manner.
| That is aprctty good bat story ReSus.
| We have often heard of organizations
OF different natures, but this is the first
bat organ iZution that ever came under
onr observation. We thought that the
bats had Cotton to be scarce in our sec
ton and this explains it. Will you be
so kind rs to organize the Screak Owls
and get the whole race to meet in Il
solid body aud blow them into flinders.
IL you will do this [ will come down and
| give YOU pun. fits the last thing do
Look here, Mr.. Editor, if get of the
line and fail to connect my words,
want You to tell my friend, the typo,
not to think hard Of llc, for write at
night and the oil is so bad the light so
| dtm--that cant half see. Will YOU
please petition those oil men TO give us
Il little better oil. We can't have cleo
trio lights down here like you. We are
dependent upon kerosene, and some of
| it smokes like fire in Il tar keg.
Give me your hand Brother Kay in
regard to what you said about those
| Citadel students. You have voiced
my sentiments to a fraction. The ap-
preparation made by the State to this
| institution has always seemed to mo an
imposition upon the State. Talk about
equal rights to all and special privileges
to none, and some will pretend to say
! that our government is run upon such
a plan--thcn get together and single
out few rich mems boys all over the
State and let them gobblc up what my
boy and your boy is just as much en-
| titled to us any otlror boy in the State
| Now after all of this, amt it q pretty
come OFF, to let them go wild, cnt up in
! general, violate tho laws Of the institu-
tion, then after the Board of Trustees
find them guilty Of misconduct, there
must be petitions flying all over the
State asking for signatures to have them
rcinstatcd. Our people have put up
with such stuff for II long while, but the
time has about com" when they arc &C
ing to rise up in open rebellion against
such injustice.
The weather remains cool. Vegcta-
tion IS almost on q standstill. There
was some frost Thursday morning.
April has been cool and wet almost
throughout, which has caused bad
stands Of corn and it is feared will also
cause bad stands of cotton. Farmers
are somewhat behind in planting. But
according to the way the seasons run
seed could not make much hcadway in
the ground. We have always heard the
old maxim, never MUD the weather so
the wind don't blow, but we will change
that q little and say: We wouldn't mind
the weather 30 much if the plow could
go.
According to appointment Union
Democratic Club met last Saturday
evening. We learn that there was only
about enough present to constitute Il
quorum. the club rcorganizcd by
clccting j. l.. Fcllcrs, President; II. II.

Well, Mr.. Editor, there arc other
matters that | would like to write
about, but | an, out here at Prosperity
with my old Brother Kay, and We arc
so busy adjusting our differences, that
| will have to close In order to get nv
letter or. CHIPS.
