REVENGEFUL POLITICAL SLOGANS

LET the new broom have chance to sweep
and "offices which run beyond the time when
Gov Hunt takes office will be abolished" are the
hardboiled democratic slogans Of democrats for
the incoming democratic administration. Yep.
Vengeance is mine. Having mine enemy down
and disarTned, let us cruelty him, would seem to
be the vindictive attitude if published reports are
true. Take the spoils, but evidencing spirit
of ghoulish gee and public vengefulness will not
gain any great respect for the democracy among
the people generally, for there may have been
thought in the voters mind that they were vot-
ing in the interest of good government and econ
omy rather than to assist some few to mere sal
aries and revenge.

OLD TOMBSTONE MARRIAGES

OLD TOMBSTONE MARRIAGES
Marriages at Tombstone in the early
sos, when a justice of the peace dis
missed couples who wanted to marry
with 81 pronounce you man and wife
-go and do SO no more" is sort OF
revived, says an Arizona exchange, by
the following ceremony by John Stro-
Bile, Wellston magistrate, who united
darky barber and his best Bet with
this ceremony:
jim, do you take Bet
Without any regret,
To love and to cherish
Till one of you perish
AND is laid under the sod,
So help you God?
jim having promptly answered,
"You jes' bet l WILL" the judge turn
ed to Betsy:
Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part?
Bet modestly acquiesced and the
new bride and groom were dismissed
with this benediction:
Through hfe's alternate JOY and strife,
I hereby pronounce you man and wife.
Climbing life's hills will be an awful
lie,
Unless you increase and multiply.
Congress was a great place for sep
arations among the young couples and
so the justice up at Congress when,
the big mine was in full blast, is said
to have used brief version like the
following;
"By virtue of the power vested in
ME and $5, I hereby declare you man
and wife-and may the devil take the
first man who comes between you. "

IUST BULL

JOS1 BULL
It was at Camp Zachary Taylor in
the hills Of old Kaintuck, just after
the armistice, when there wasn't a
thing in the world to do except sit
around and shoot the stuff while wait
ing for the discharges to come
through. A discussion was under way
as to the relative merits of Mobile
and Dallas. Said the Mobilian:
''Now, that's a town. There's the
greatest town in the world. Why,
we've got building so stall that it
takes "a hours to get to the top in
an express elevator"
"Chuff!0 retorted the Dallasite
scornfuHy. "Our new hotel, the Adolf
phus, is so tall they had to put the
top five stories on hinges to let the
moon go by"
@Huh! Say, in Mobile, we've got a
factory that uses hundred thousand
gallons of ink year just in signing
its correspondence"
"Bunk! There's mail order house
in Dallas that saves hundred thou
sand gallons of ink in year Just by

BONDS AND BUDGET

Secretary Mellon in his annual report declares
that the value of Liberty bonds has increased
So 800, 100000 since the low levels of 1920. And
since the cost of government upkeep has decreas-
ed another $4,000, 100000 it would appear that
the people have something for which to thank
the Republican party, even if the large amount
of constructive legislation which that party has
put through is utterly ignored. If money talks,
these facts are eloquent.

1t is mighty hard to guess where old man Vol
stead's law is going to lead us. At Des Moines,
Iowa, it even landed the preacher-sheriff and
one of his deputies under arrest. At Denver the
officials are in quandry to whether the nom
hootch element shouldn't be locked up to protect
them from the hoochists and save expense. In
Los Angeles stranger has to wear q nuzzle to
prevent the festive hoochist from drenching his
neck with hooch and taking his money. The
jails have become so Clara Phillpsed that they
just arrest man, give him rain check and turn
him loose.

The Arizona Republican busted all newspaper
records of the state with its big 140-page
''Mid-Winter Resource Edition" The big edition
covered about every line of industry in the state
including climate and scenery, in a most enter
tanning, intelligent manner. It cost nine cents
postage for each copy mailed but it was well
worth the price and should result in SO worth of
benefit to Arizona for each copy mailed.

WHERE LIVESTOCK is CHEAP

Because livestock can be raised much cheaper
in Australia and New Zealand than in the United
States, owing to the low cost of land and low
wages, Australia and New Zealand are increas-
ing their exports of meats to Europe. According
to report made to the department of commerce
from the United States consul at Sydney, Aus
tralia, Germany, France and other European
countries are buying large quantities of frozen
beef and frozen lamb in Australia and New Zea-
land.

RESENT HAND
Of BRITAIN
Claim English Control Market
and Discrimination Is
Charged.

KINGSTREE, s. c., August l.
Two thousand tobacco farmers who
listened to an address by United
States Senator e. D. Smith, of
South Carolina, at a great barbecue
held in celebration of the success
of the Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive Association in it's first year of
marketing, have begun discussion
of ways and means of attaining eco
nomic independence.
The Senator limited strongly at
the domination of South Carolina
tobacco markets by British finan-
cial interests. and mentioned the
Imperial Tobacco Company, of
Great Britain, as a powerful factor
in setting the price for the labor of
the farmers and their children.
1--WE fought England because we
had taxation without representa-
ton; fought for it. and won. vet
when you come to selling the
product that the education of your
children depends on, you haven't
any more to say about it than
Hottentot in Africa. We sit down
here like dumb, driven beasts and
allow all others to dictate what we
sell it for. We sit down here and
allow others to dictate to us what
our wives and daughters are
WORTH" declared Senator Smith.
The Senator's intimation that an
tagonism of the Imperial. Tobacco
Company of Great Britain to CO.
operative marketing is thwarting
efforts of thousands of South Caro-
lina's farmeVs to improve their liv-
ing conditions injected a new note
into the war between the opponents
of modern marketing methods and
the old system of auctioning off
tobacco.
The smouldering resentment of
more than a thousand organized
tobacco farmers against the Brit
ism company, which buys approx
mately one-third of the South Car
DINA tobacco crop, but has de-
clined to purchase any of the prod
uct raised by half of the South
Carolina planters who compose the
Tobacco Cooperative Association,
has been famed to a flame.
They know that If the farmer
ever gets this cooperative market
ing going the happy days of skin
ming you alive are gone" Smith
told them, referring to the British
interests. He urged the farmers to
pVI LcCI InelT cooperative market
ing association, combine in their
own corporation and get some of
the profit being made.
The question of British DONNA
ton which has so stirred South
Carolinians has national and inter
national significance, because the
organization against which the I'm
perial Tobacco Company is alleged
to have Disseminated Is the largest
farmers cooperative marketing as
ISOLATION in America, with a mem
bership Of 10000 planters in the
Caroltnas and Virginia.
Cotton farmers of the Southern
States with cooperative organiza-
tons, several hundred thousand Of
them, also believe that Liverpool
and British interests largely direct
the prices Of American cotton.
Although a new note has been
injected into the present struggle
between cooperative and specula-
tive factions in this State, 1t has
stirred responsive chord of mem
ory In minds Of men whose fore
fathers followed Marion and Sum.
ter and fought at Cowpens.
