Water bills and liberty in South Carolina debate
The piece critiques state water purchases by the South Carolina General Assembly, noting a 1927 voucher of 365.90 for water and a Senate bill of 138.00. It mocks the era’s prohibition context, remarks on Columbia’s pure water, and asks candidates if spending should be itemized in the appropriation bill for transparency to the Governor.

A Fish Pond Tale and Other Brief Items
A humorous tale recalls a friend who keeps a large fish pond and charges ten cents per fish, prompting a frugal reader to fish for a dollar or two. The narrator hauls in only a small minnow after hours, pays the friend, and releases the fish. The column then notes the National Retail Shoe Association arguing rising meat prices boost footwear costs, and mentions Viscount Cecil's resignation amid naval disarmament debate as well as unexpectedly durable garden hoses from last summer.
