* What Next?
BY—MARVIN LEWIS
It was about eleven-thirty.
This was the last house call
before dinner. Nice place!
I rang the door bell. "Come
on in," somebody called,
"We're eating dinner."
I removed my hat.
φ wiped my feet carefully on
the door mat. took *np good
cornfield stride into the liv
ing room, and pandemonium
broke loosr. That thraw-rug
acted like a tiling alive!
With arms flailing and wind
« Illing wild'y, I shot arms*
e room and landed abrupt
ly on my back, with one
foot under the TV set a>ii
the other leg draped irace
Φ fully across a 1 of.ee table.
The woman jot to me «iuirk
ly—she seemed to be having
trouble keeping her face
straight.
"Lady." I said. "I see you
are one of those good house
keepers who uses Jason's
Wax." ,
"Yes . . . but how did · you
know it U-as Jason's"?4 she
*9 asked.
"You Just can't gel that
kind of mileage from Brand
X." I said. Her husband
started forward to offer his
assistance. One step was
enough. Another crash! Λ
gain the house vibrated, and
he camc sliding over to me.
I stuck out my hand and
solemnly we shook.
J) "Sir." I said, "could I
make an appointment for a
bout two o'clock to talk with
you Out At Th? Tobaoco
Barn?"
fie nodded. I s?tarted
crawling towards the door.
There was a giggle followed
by another thud. I didn't
look bark.
P. S. My favorite colors
ufed to be read and gold—
|| now its purple and blur,
with overtones of olive drab.

1 of Loris druggist Douglas
I Bailey is undergoing 30 dayi
I psychiatric observation at tlu
j State Hospital in Columbia
after admitting she poisoned
her employer early last week
Vera Mae Bromell told po
lice she gave Bailey a glass of
poisoned orange juice foi
breakfast last Tuesday morn
ing. She said in a signed state
ment she had put a half ounce
of strychnine sulfate into the
concentrated orange juice mix
ture the afternoon before .
At first, it was thought
tliut Bailey had fallen victim
to food poisoning, until the
ι druggist—far.iiliar with the ef
fe.ts of strychnine—informed
his wife, who rushed him to
1 the hospital, what he had been
given.
Bailey was admitted to the
Loris Community Hospital in
! serious condition, but was
j considered by medical author
i ities to be out of danger late
i Tuesday. He is still recuperat
; ing Irom the tremendous dose
i of the poison.
Loris Police chief Paul Ray
Jones said Bailey had been
; given enough strychnine to
j "kill a hundred men." The
quick work of local doctors is
I iredited with saving his life.
The Bromell woman said
she mixed the orange juice
Monday afternoon. She said
she discovered the poison in a
kitchen cabinet while search
ing for some material with
which to clean a stove.
She told officers she knew
the powder she put into the
orange juice was harmful. She
said she planned to take the
poison herself Monday even
ing, but did not.
