Candidate Michel is quoted as say
ing in a speech at Abbeville last
week that his opponents for the gu
bernatorial nomination are both hon
orable men and he would not discuss
them from personal standpoint. Ev-
identity there is lack of harmony be-
tween the declarations of Candidate
Michel and MS campaign committee,
for the latter is engaged in very
vigorous personal attack upon Judge
Hall and a studied effort to show
that he is far from being an honor
able man.

For many years there served in the

mind and many fine qualities, but who
was forever estranging many with
whom he desired to be friendly by
reason of his incurably sarcastic man
ner both OF speech and action Once
an intimate. friend wrote the senator
urging the appointment of another
friend to minor position in the gov.
eminent. The senator returned, most
sarcastic reply, declining to recon-
mend the appointment It is said that
he never forgot the merited rebnke he
received from the friend who had sug-
gested the appointment: .s.,s

well for you to reserve your sarcasm for

emies. instead of Offering 1t to the de-
creasing number Of your friends. Of whom

Scaitops.

How many people know anything
about the toothsome scallop? The lit
tie round bits Of white meat we see in
the market are really the hearts Of BIZ
valves. In other words. the only edi-
BILE part Of scallop is the muscular
tissue that controls the opening and
shutting of its shell. The name scallop
is derived from the 1uted shape Of the
creatures shell. These are very thin.
In fact, the weight Of the scallop Is so
near that of an equal volume of water
that it. floats by the very slight propul-
sive force given by the opening and
closing of the shell; hence scallops
have the reputation Of a shellf1sh that
swims. They are caught In scoop nets
as they float along with the tide
