COUNTRYSIDE
PHILLIPS HARRISON
BY Phillips HARRISON

Well, Halloween got by and
l was fortunate in not suffer-
ing any casualties. Batching as
/ have been for the past few
weeks l had no one to think Of
a supply of candy, etc, that one
needs these days to ward off
the time honored pranks. So,
there l was with no where to
go and the usual assortment OF
ghosts, COLLINS, and, even
masked gunner out Of the old
west who seemed proficient
with their six guns. BY fast
talking l must have convinced
them all that i was indeed a
sad sack and so out of pity
they let me be One thing is
certain, with the advent and
almost universal use of indoor
plumbing, the kids of nova
days are missing out on a lust
Ter type of prank that was
popular in my time. Too it
seemed most exasperating to
the householderS on the morn
ing of November /.
The citizens of SENC are
again on the right track in
forming the development COM
mission. A gentleman over diff
ficulties encountered in or
rather on a trip to Tabor City.
1t seems as if it was an over
night venture as best some
thirty years ago. He says now
that it is merely a trip for the
noon hour to get little some
thing for the "old lady" The
man is correct, it doesn't take
long to get over to the oyster
roaStS now.
Several accidental shootings
around the countryside have
been reported as happening 10
hunters. 1t is reported that one
man in the Waccamaw River
area was seriously wounded
while turkey hunting. Now
there is nothing amusing about
tat but one fellow who wa
telling about the incident
wondered if the wounded man
was not making little too re-
aliStic with a turkey call. II
so il stands to reason he will
do whole lot of still hunting
from now on.
Ever SO often a fellow will
get a little adventurous anc
wander off the beaten path. Sc
one day last week l wandered
off county road QUITO tho
roads built 10y the Intcrnation-
al Paper Company in the Pre-
way section. II was an inter.
eSting jaunt and one very edu,
cational TO one who likes hi
piney woods For. folks tn
pines are there. The roads ar
there and no signs are up as
could see TO prohibit drivin
over them. But a word of eau
tion-BC sure you have you
direction before trying j
There is 4 lot of woods and n
signs up that Say-This Wa,
To 904! and can't find the roat
out.
From time immemorial maj
has been jealous of his mat
and has resented the ap
proacheS of any other in tina
way. Especially since mono
gamy has been the set way ha
man been jealous. So over Cal
abash way I heard this story
This fisherman had nice lit
tie cabin which was snug from
all storm and other weathe
and in his older days weddct
with a middle aged maidei
lady who wished to spend he
late days in at least securit,
and the position that the Cap
tain had. But it soon turned
out that the Captain had othe
ideas. Being by the sea tn
cabin had a sandy yard anc
the Captain each morninl
would brush out his foot print
to the gate and hang his reec
broom in a tree outside. Eacf
night on his return he would
eagerly scan the yard for sign
OF anyone having approached
the cabin by the way Of foo
prints. Well so one day a youn,
fellow got lost while huntin,
squirrels and happened up OF
the cabin. What happened
The wife also cut her a rec,
broom and brushed herself il
from the gate as her husban,
did out and everybody was hap
Ply. Provcrb-Don't ever wor
