Meeting Street Community De
sires Campaign Meeting.

Editor Advertiser:
In looking over the Advertiser of
Hast weeks issue we notice that the
Executive Committee, in arranging
the campaign meetings have entirely
ignored this country in arranging for
said meetings. We have thought all
the while that we were in the beloved
old county, but it seems that such is
not the case as all the meetings are
arranged around and below Edge
field. It seems to me that is would
have been proper to have had one
meeting somewhere around this old
Meeting Street section of the coun-
ty. This section has been noted
place in the county ever since. Edge
field has been a county and the
Meeting Street voting precinct rang
ing with the largest voting place in
the county. In fact this, section was a
noted place when Edeefeld was a
county with an area as large as the
state of Deleware.
But it seems now that old things
have passed away and new ones are
taking their place. This may be pro-
crossing with the rapid rate that the
world is now going, still we can't
help but protest against such action,
and feel that we represent the same
people that were here in the past
years when we had the consideration
that other parts of the county had.
Now if Edgefeld is tired of US, we
feel sure that Saluda county will vel
come us in her fold and give us a
proper consideration.
We are all doing fine up this way.
Free, so far, from the boil weevil,
with worms on the corn about given
up the ghost. Fine season in the
ground with the goose hanging high.
With this we are ready to exclaim,
$50 mote it be-Amen"

Eight the Boil WeeyiI.

Too much stress can not be laid
on the picking up of punctured
squares, says County Agent A. B
Carwile. He tells of this work hav.
ing been done on the farm of Mr.
George T. Swearingen near Tren'
ton, for the the past three or -four
weeks as the measure for controlling
the boil weevil, and at present there
are fewer punctures to be found
than there were when the picking
of squares first begun. This demon
stration goes to show that there is
something in the picking up of pune
tured squares.

ANOTHER DAY
Another S1.OO

Got a bad start this morning. A
stenographer with red lips redder
still kissed by a lip stick on the Sill
gave me to a %taxicabber because she
got up too late to catch her street
car.
The taxicaber fellow took me into
a grogless grog shop and handed me
over to a melancholia man who has
not smiled since July l., 1919, receiv-
ing in exchange for my own good self
a listless liquid that looked like what
it wasn't. The melancholia expon-
emf of a lost art soon tossed me into
the hands of a chocolate colored
manipulation of mops.
The insulting manner in which I
was being thrown around got me all
"het up" so much that l burned the
palm of Rastus who husteled me into

change to man with a cigaret and
seven children.
After the show we went to an ice
cream parlor where 1 melted away
like a school teachers salary. Then
the ice cream man grabbed me out
of the till and insisted that 1 remain
with the barber in exchange for a
skin-em-quick hair cut. 1 made the
barber nervous so he passed me
along for a jazz smeared photograph
record and the jazz merchant spent
me for a joyride gas. When I re-
gained consciousness a young man
with a naughty air and wonderful
pink silk shirt was giving me to a
florist for a pair of pansies. The
florist passed me along as rent
money to asharp-eyed, genial look
ing gentleman who actually seemed
glad to get me. This s%harp-eyed boy
had an office and I notice that many
of his callers come in with Liberty
Bonds and go out with varying a.
mounts of cash with which to buy
Goodnight Oil stock, riotious raj
ment, picked peanuts and grand
