this here corn, in the jug, with the
bright bead on it, the deadly pella-

The Major looked thoughtful. He
seemed to be impressed. Then, look

glass, he said:
"John, pass the pellagra. y
I wonder if any Of the learned
doctors, who recently assembled in
Columbia to discuss this new old dis
ease thought of this feature of the
subject. Well, I reckon it makes no
difference for they tell me that the
trouble with most Of the modern
"corn in the jug" is that it never
saw or heard Of the corn which pro-
duces pellagra and in fact pellagra
would be a very mild disease compared
to what the corn in the Jug does give
one. The fact is I have heard so
much about the evil effects Of the
"corn in the Jug that I have aban-
doned the use Of my morning dram.
It was done at great sacrifice to my
feelings and appetite, but I guess [
am better off.
/ told you that I usually read the
Columbia Record. Well, I found the
following in an issue this week. Mon
days issue, think. So these tourists
were travelling on the Sabbath.
Two auto parties between here and
Newberry last night had a very try
ing experience on their way back to
Columbia. This is the way they
happened to be "afraid to come home
in the dark" In one machine we're
Mr.. and Mrs. j.. W, Bond, Miss Kate
Cantweu and several children, who
had gone up to meet the second party
at Newberry. The party being es-
corted back was composed Of and in
cluded and. embraced DR.. F. A. Cow
ard and Mr., F. L. Brown, who were
on their way back home from the
races. The two machines
started out in fine form from New
berry shortly after dark, the ma
chine being driven by Mr.. Bond in
the lead. The night was dark and
spooky and the Bond party began to
have feelings Of being lost, and after
.abored inquiries discovered them
selves speeding back toward New
berry like the twentieth century lin
ted. The night was then far ad-
7anced and feeling it would rot be
wise to keep the children out all
light, they decided to make for
where they found fair ac=
ommg8d8ations, starting out fresh
nd early This morning and reaching
Columbia in good shape. When the
wo parties got together here this
corning Messrs. Coward and Brown
$50 had story to tell about getting
ost several times, and how finally
7hen the night was far advanced
hey discovered themselves thirty
niles from Columbia going like a
ying machine toward Newberry af-
er they had been within twelve miles
f Columbia. They had been out in
he dark all night fitting about be-
ween the two cities. After Old Sol
urned the light on this morning the
wo parties rolled into Columbia cas-
y and in good shape" "
The moral of all this is that these
eople ought to have spent the night
| Newberry. The penalty is the fir
cit for not spending the night with
elham and Wright at the Newberry
[otel. And the further lesson is that
Il roads lead to Newberry. 1t mat
ers not which. way you roam if ever
nee you put your foot in Newberry
gu Will sooner or later get in the
oad that leads to Newberry and you
enerally find it sooner than later.
