HU HiIKViVAL OF THIS FITTEST
Waynesboro, Gfu, July 22, 1922.
WAYNESBORO 40 YEARS AGO
From The True Citizen, Nov, 17, 1882.
H. P. Sullivan
Mr. Jessie P. Green, of this coun
ty was married to Miss Allie Myers
of Richmond county, at Mechanics
Hill on Wedneesday.
Hon Jesse Wimberly is at home on
a visit to his family. The colonel is
looking in good health and shows the
effects of good living.
We are glad to announce the name
of Thos. Quinney for county treasurer
in today’s issue. Mir. Quinney comes
before the people of Burke county
with a goood record and we know of
none better fitted for this important
office than he is, or one who will
handle the public funds with more
care.
A few days ago Mr. Dock Bell, of
this county, was driving a lazy mule
and laying on his best with a whip,
when a piece of the whip broke off
and struck him in the left eye
bursting the ball. It was a painful
accident, but the saddest part of the
affair is the lo9s of the eye.
John Weaver, colored, brought to
our office a potato, called the sugar
yam, which he says was planted in
August and which measured three
feet long. It was a curiosity.
Mr. W. E. Jones bad the front porch
of the Arlington House repainted. It
looks nice in its new dress.
Cotton Statement

ton received at this depot for the

Total 853 bales

18th: Middling 9 l-8c; low middling
B%c; good ordinary 814; .ordinary

On Thursday, in Emanuel county,
the jailer sent a young man to feed
the prisoners when a negro who is
condemned to be hanged shortly, and
to whom the jailor had given a chair
to make him comfortable broke it up
and as the young man came in struck
him on the side of the head and ov
er the eye, knocking him senseless.
The negro ran out and hid* under the
jail; when the young man coming to,
came out bleeding, and gave the
alarm. When assistance came and
the negro was overcome, was assigned
to his old quarters, where he will
probably remain until he meets his
doom upon the gallows. The young
man is not expected to live.
Mr. S. W. Rouquie, of Georgetown,
S. C., and Miss E. S. Munnerlyn, sis
ter of Col. J. D. Munnerlyn of this
place, were married in the Methodist
church on Wednesday evening last,
Rev. T. F. Branch officiating.
Mrs. Emily Barry, wife of Mr. Bhos
H. Barry, a wholesale tobacconist of
Rome, Ga„ and sister of our fellow
townsmen. S. A. and M. B. Gray, is
in town visiting relatives and friends
We are pleased to see that our fel
low eitizen, T. D. Oliver, Esq., has
been confirmed as solicitor of the
county court by the senate. Mr. Oliv
er is a gentleman of superior talents

THE INDIAN NOW WEARS
RUBBER BOTTOM SHOES
L.o, the Poor Indian has thrown
away his moccassins
Today Lo wear shoes.
For though we ha ye it on the au
thority of Alexander Pope that he
had an “untutored mind,” he has had
i sense and instinct enough to know
! that the concrete pavements and
brick sidewalks of today play havcc
! with Indian feet which for centurios
! roamed the prairies shoeless.
; Moccasins were good enough for
his ancestors because! the virgin earth
was a natural cushion, but today the
Indian not only wears shoes but in
sists that his shoes are equipped with
rubber heels.
And the aboriginal American is not
aLne in this preference, for 60 per
cent of men’s shoes manufactured to
day have rubber heels as original
equipment
Then years ago it was almost im
possible to buy any kind of. shoes with
rubber heels put on them by the shoe
manufacturer. Until very recently
rubber heels weer sold almost ex
clusiveiy to repairmen and shoe find
ers.
It was not until the Goodyear Tire
an- Rubber Company, which has
been responsible for many epoch-mak
ing events in the history of the rub
ber heel business, set out to ddscov
er just why this was that a start was
made to put the manufacture o-f rub
ber heels on an original equipment
basis. They found that a quality pro
duct only would create a consumer
demand.
Years of experimenting developed
a first class product which resulted
in a definite majority percentage for
rubber heels demanded by the ulti
mate consumer on renewals.
The shoe manufacturers were quick
to sense the change in popular taste.
Rubber heels began to appear as
original equipment.
In a short time the demand grew
so rapidly that the shoes manufactur
ers were hard put to it to supply it,
chiefly because the hand application
method showed up the process of shoe
making, in which every other opera
tion wa sperformed by the very lat
est machinery.
Naturally the next step was the in
troduction of machine nailing.
After many months of co-operation
with the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany a heel was perfected with 8
nailholes which could be rapidly fit
ted to the leather base.
Other important features which the
Goodyear company has either origi
nated or assisted in developing are
now the universally popular Sport
sole and complete lines for ladies
wear.
The golf course was the laboratory
of the Goodyear Sport sole. Some of
America’s most famous professionals
were used both in a consulting and
experimenting capaciay. The result
—a sole which is correct for the golf
er in every particular—met with the
instant approval of golf enthusiasts
all over the country.
So great was the popularity of this
sole that it soon went beyond its
special field in the public favor. A
sport sole adapted for street year fol
lowed quickly and today the sport
sole is original equipment on most of
the summer outing shoes on the mar
ket.
These devolpments have resulted in
rubber heels taking third place in
the Goodyear company’s sales—not
in the valume of production but in
actual dollars received.
Sales during the current year have
averaged 4,000,000 pairs a month, and
it is estimated that this year’s sales
will go over 60,000,000 pairs.

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
At Home of Mr. and Mrs* Robert V\«
Knight
A most delightful community gather
ing was had at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert W. Knight near Mcßean
rriday, at which Mr. and Mrs. Knight
were hosts: It was one of those old
time country gatherings at which a
splendid barbecue dinner was served
and, the folks of the surrounding
neighborhood came together to hold a
season of goodfellowsliip such as is
an inspiration. For these neighbor
hood gathering are really inspiring
and tend to an advance of friendli
ness and helpfulness benefitting the
enure community.
There were more than 75 guests
gathered at the hospitable home of
Mr. and Mrs. Knight to enjoy the good
things prepared and in the afternoon
the young people of the company en
joyed themselves playing games and
with other diversions until the wan
ing; day warned of dispersal time. The
enteire affairs was greatly enjoyable
and further emphasized the proverbial
cordial hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
Knight. Mr. Knight is one of the
prosperous fans of the Mcßean sec
tion.
In addition to the delightfully pre
pared meats andi hash one generally
finds at a barbecue there were plen
tiful supplies of fried chicken toma
toes, pickles, vegetables, cakes, pies,
ice cream, coffee and cooling drinks.
It was a feast that will long live in
the memories of those present, and
when the goobyes were said it was
with regret that the day had passed
so quickly—Augusta Herald.

CHICKENS AT LARGE A NUISANCE
There is an ordinance against the
running at large of chickens on the
streets, but little attention is being
paid to its observance. The chicken
at large is a great nuisance for they
destroy gardens and flower yards. We
publish this protest in order that
those who are in the habit of allow
ing their chickens the privileges of
the streets and their neighbors yards
will keep them up.
