have been reading the papers lit
tie recently Yes, sir, reading about
what our legislature has been doing.
Did you see where some fellow wrote
an article for The Record in which it
was stated that number of the mem
bcrs had not even read the prohibition
or liquor bill, which ever you want to
call it-I reckon liquor bill would be
a better name for it-just think about
those whom we send down there to
lcgislatc for us passing such an i'm
portant law as liquor law and not
even reading it to see what it contained.
Ii is wonderful. That would have been
great Joke ii they had let that sec
tion 10 remain in the law by which
every one who had even small bit OF
the stuff in his grip would have had
TO label the grip The fellow with the
labeled grip would have had a great
time going up and down the State with
label on his grip telling the people
wherever he went that he had little
bit OF booze therein, and the way he
would have had friends would have
been caution. You know, somehow
have nv doubts about the sentiment in
this State being so Overwhelmingly IN
favor Of prohibition anyway. am IN
cl;ned to think that the overwhelming
sentiment in favor Of prohibition is
prohibition for the other fellow, and
the prohibitionist will order his own.
One member said he understood the
sentiment to be for the gallona-month.
Md ! guess he is about right. But it
all suits me fine. They have provided
for the 90 pints of beer month and
that is enough and | wouldn't have
cared if they had cut out all other
booze However. We must all admit
that there is very little real prohibition
qbout it. 7 am one who believes that
the real cause of temperance would be
promoted by the use of good beer and
licht wines, and that it would be bet
tel for the human system than to use
so much dope.

| have often wondered why man
when he was elected to the legislature
was 30 keen to legislate about the per-
sonal rights and privileges OF his tel
lows. He is just an ordinary human
being like the rest Of us-or rather he
was when he was elected-but somehow
after he gets there-that is, some OF
'em-seems to have become suddenly
imbued with the idea that it is his burden
and solemn and imperative duty to regu-
late everything by law for the rest OF
humanity He has suddenly gotten
new vision and feels the duty resting
on him to make laws to regulate the
conduct of his one time equals, but now
his interiors and incapable of taking
care Of themselves. | say that is the
wav it appears to me sometimes. |
think l can recall one man that | hearo
# who was so impressed with the re-
sponsibility and the burden, and his
wisdom. that he not only had the coun-
w he came from to tote, bat that old
atlas was bearing down on his shoul-
ders. and he is beginning to stoop just
little under the load. 1t is not right
70 impose such burdens upon those
whom we elect to make laws for US,
and am in favor Of relieving many
of them OF this heavy load, and let us
see # we cannot have it done without
regulating everything from taking a

Here, read this one:
SELL YOUR HAMMER AND BUY
A HORN.
Yes, sell your hammer and sell it cheap,
If the thing won't sell, then bury it
deep,
For though living's high, and times are
tough,
The market has more than hammers
enough.
Get big horn and key it in G,
Then blow, "All's right" with yes
SIRE
If the clouds hang low give vigorous
toot,
When the game goes slow is the time
to "root."
Sho,1d crouch corae along with a
song forlorr,
Just drown him out with your Jubilant
horn.
That's the way to be happy in this old
world,
No battle is won round a flag that is
furled.
Alexander Blackburn.
Now that sounds pretty good to me.
How does it sound to you, kind reader!
If you have hammer and can't sell
it, suppose you bury it so deep that no
one can find it. And I have been told
that there are several otherwise very
good people in Newberry who have
hammers, and that they do not permit
them to rust for want Of use. Bury
'em, and bury 'em deep. Blow your
horn! White Do anythinf but knock.
reckon I am sort Of an-well, Pc
culiar sort of person but | never
could see why so many apparently and
otherwise fine people should always be
so .silling, and I might say eager, to
saw tunkind things, when to my way OF
seeing the world they would feel 80
much better if they said pleasant and
nice things, or bridled their tongues and
said mum is the word. I reckon though
that they get some sort Of pleasure out
of it all. I hope so, but believe that
the time will come in their lives that
thew will see the error Of their way. Put
I'D YOUR hammer. Bury it. Blow
horn. Whistle if you must. But when
YOU do make noise-make joyful
and a hopeful and helpful sort OF
noise. Tune your old bugle or bag pipe
TO the notes that make for the better
ment of your own community. If you
don't like it, or the way they do things
in the community, why pack your lug
gage and move on to more congenlal
climes and surroundings, but as long as
YOU are part of it, and make your bread
and clothes out Of the people who live
there, stop hammering them and all
things that are being done to help you
make living. o, we'll, that is the way
it appears to me, and if you don't agree
with me, or like what am saying, why
don't read it, and you won't know any
thing about it.
