Raid

BY AL HARRISON

teria, remain appreeiative of all suggestions
The latest = South Carolina bootegger sent
word that big story should be done Columbus
County deputy sheriff.
The bootlegger's reason the deputy was the
only one he knew who raided places in two states.
Seems his place had been raided twice in
week by Columbus deputy sheriff
Only thing unusual - the mans place of business
THOUGHTFUL HUSBAND TRIPPED

Troy (WTAB) Mcpherson fans getting kick
from the photo of him at the tender age of -. The
photos being sold for dollar each with proceeds

forced to admit his looks have changed in the years
THEY GOT LOT TO LEARN
The men who set up income tax tables have lot
to learn about exemptions.
Since this is my first experience with being
pectant I'm Just realizing that the deduction allowed
for a expecant wife should be twice that of the nom
eXpectant.
Those who have suffered the initial expense of

blls Tor the eNpectant mother Will agree that the
exemptions should be doubled for eXpectant mothers
regardless of the delivery date.
| gather that the who make the tax rules
are for the most part frustrated bachelors.
SOMEONE ELSE, FOR A CHANGE, WAS TAKEN
The big fellow hadn't shaved in two weeks and
looked the part OF author instead of informant.
I've got a good story to tell he whiskey- breathed
across the counter.
When l told him I'd be glad to listen, he asked
for the owner or manager OF the paper.
The boss out he chose a linotype operator.
What the story amounted to a slight touch-guy
had a hard luck story.
Last time we had a hard-luck story visitor shelIed
out six dollars in cash and four dollars worth of

A SLIGHT WIND WILL STIR POLITICS
ms Is the year for politics. Everything is quiet

If Wright files, so the circle predicts he will have
long hard row to hoe WhitevilIe politicians won't
let him IN without fight simply because he's Tabor
City
One thing is certain, if Wright is elected he won't
be rubber stamp" commissioner
This is also the year for Superior Court Judge
Raymond Mallard to for reelection. His filing fee
Will be mailed within week or two. (See story on

is COLLEGE WORTH THE EFFORT?
The kplinger Washington Letter reports that the
average elementary school grad in lifetime will earn
$4,000; the high school graduate in life
uate will earn %26S, 900
These figures, for what they are worth, prove it

means mat nave TO work only - more years in order
to meet the average earnings stated above
Cost of college education is estimated at $4,000.
Suppose that means without meals,

regardless of the business, it takes new blood to
inject that bit Of spark that inspires progress.
