MEANING WHO?
In threatening to run for Congress
again, Tom Heflin, says The Colum
bia Record, is still persuaded that the
taxpayers owe him a living. He’s not
by himself —once bitten by the bug of
officeholding It is more difficult for
a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for the average politician
to buckle down to hard, incessant
grind and toil to earn a living.— The
Spartanburg Journal.
AN OLD LEGEND.
Thera are many legends and inter
esting stories as to the origin of White
Lake, the latest one we have heard
being different from all the others.
The old legend states that hundreds
cf years ego, when this section was
peopled by the fairy folk the spot
c:v which White Lake is now located,
was the assembly spot of Fairyland.
It was here that they gathered for
their midnight revels, singrng and
dancing until the first rays of the sun
mattered them abroad to their various
haunts. J *
On one last sad occasion, while they
were in the midst of a moonlight
dance, a fierce dragon appeared on the
scene, killing many of the dainty lit
tle peopla, wounding others, while still
ct.hers escaped to mourn the loss of
their blithe brothers.
Several years afterward, those who
escaped met again with the remaining
fairy folks, on the selfsame spot. So
as they reviewed the experiences or
the last meeting so grieved were they
that theii combined tears flowed to
g her, making a lake of clear crystal
water, which has remained there since
that time.
One winders if this accounts for
the mysterious feling that they have
about the heart, when drifting in a
beat on the beautiful waters in the
moonlight. Who knows, but that it is
the presence of the fairy folk again,
haunting their old rendezvous?

BIG CITY BLUES
Every time I read a sob for the
wilting of youth and ideals under the
onaptha light of the Broadway cab
arets, I remember the case of Janet.
The sadly knowing and greatly naive
columnists who rush around th e car
avansaries of evening merriment, let.
tin.gr out great heaves of gloom for
the fascinating sinfulness of the town
alf ought to meet Janet...
She was a email town girl and
from the time she was 15 her pai-ents
lost sleep about her. She wouldn’t
go to bed. She smoked. She rouged
'heavily. She wisecracked cynically
on subjects which were sacred a long
time ago. Then suddenly she nan
away from home and came t 0 New
York to go an the stage.
Here, according ,to the rules laid
down by several generations of wise
and blind (tattlers on New York, is the
(perfect Set-up for the old, old drama.
She goes from bad to worse. Mil
lionaires with yachts.i Fading beauty.
Dope . . Suicide . . .
Bolugney! Not for Janet. I saw
her right after she got here, very
youngaud very eager and very silly.
1 saw her a week or so ago. If there
was any foolishness in her pretty
head when she arrived in Pennsyl
vania station, it has been scoured out
now by the harsh struggle for sur
vival behind Broadway footlights.
. . ■ ,I——
SAVED BY THE CITY
If Janet had remained in the small
town of her hirth, it is quite conceiv
able that she would hav e gone from
bad to worse. But in New York her
caTiyiwgs.on shocked nobody. She
snapped out of it with, a bang. Now
(she no longer smokes. Sh e wili pour
her oocktai lbehind the sofa if she
ca>n get away| with it. She spends
/hours taking sun baths, having her
face rubbed, undergoing weird new
beauty diets. She will marry well.
Given the same raw material,
Broadway has two products. The
Janet of today is one of themu the
other is the dreadful dreg conn red up
by the snetimental imaginations of the
columnists. Both occur, but for one
who has aped the Marlene D etrieh
impresonation of sin, I can name
three who have gone th e way of
Janet. \

her family, she was kept busy try

she confided in a servant, “The

aside money against the day when
disaster would arrive.

79 A.D.—An eruption of Vesuvius
’ overwhelmed the towns of Pompeii,
Herculaneum & Stabiae, buried
i them deep beneath 14 feet of wet
ashes and cinders. Memory of
them faded and for centuries their
sites were unknown. In 1748, Pom
peii’s ruins were discovered by a
farmer digging for a well, and the
excavations were begun by the
Neopolitan government that have
continued regularly since. We know
exactly how Pompeiians of 1900
years ago lived, from the streets,
dwellings, shops, theatres & hos
pitals perfectly preserved by the
wet ashes which found their way
into every nook and, when they
dried, hermetically sealed up the
town. Even bodies were preserved
amazingly near the natural state.
But no monetary treasures have
been found in the course of the ex
cavations and restorations, because
all but 2,000 of the citizens escaped,
returned to tunnel into their former
homes and carry off their valuables.
Only completely restored building
in Pompeii (so far as the writer
could find on a visit last year) : a
house of ill-fame, wherein gay
blades of 79 A.D. disported with
loose ladies.
* * *
1572—Dowager Queen Catherine
Medici of France and her 21-year
old weak-minded son, Charles IX
(3 of her sons were kings of
France), caused the massacre of
70,000 Huguenots (Protestants) in
Paris on St. Bartholomew’s Day
during the celebration of the mar
riage of Charles’ siKer to a Protes
tant prince. [This is not the great
est religious massacre. 1,100,000
Jews are said to have been put to
the sword after the destruction of
Jerusalem by Titus, Roman gen
eral.]
* * *
1814—The British, having de
feated the Americans in the battle
of Bladensburg, Md., invaded
Washington, burned the President’s
mansion. After reconstruction, it
became known, because of the
color applied to cover seared walls,
as the White House.
* * *
1862—Rafael Semmes became
commander of the Confederate ship
Alabama (built, ironically, in
Great Britain) in the Azores
Islands, began raids which resulted
in capture of 70 vessels, $6,000,000
damage, & controversies between
the U. S. & British governments
which eventually led to payment
(in 1885) of $16,145,830 indemnifi
’ cation to the latter. [Foreign gov
ernments, acting in one of the first
modern instances of international
arbitration, made the award.]
Semmes’ exploits rank with the
greatest of American naval achieve
ments.
* * *
1921—The dirigible R-38, on a
final test trip before being turned
over to the U. S. Navy by its Brit
ish builders, broke up over Hull,
England, killing 44, of whom 17
were Americans.
* * *
1819 Fort Snelling established
in what is now Minnesota. This
was the first military outpost of the
U. S. in the Northwest.
