“Glory Be!” Says Ex- !
Mayor and Editor as
H£ Loses at the Polls
Marieo, S.- C.—A policeman’s lot,
■sang the pirate chasers in'the old oper
atic satire, is not “a ’appy one,but
compared to the job of being mayor of
this town the “bobbies” of 'the song
were without a care, in the opinion of
Palmer W. Johnson, just back to pri
vate life after six years as “public
sboewiper,” to use h's own expression.
His retirement,. Mr. Johnson an
nounces joyfully, was by request. The
folks indicated that they didn’t want
him as mayor again by voting him
down, and as editor of the Marion Star
the ex-mayor promptly shouted edi
torially, “Glory bef”
“One,’’ said Mr. JohnsoD, comment
ing on ways of bis fellow townsmen
during his six years in office and em
ploying the plural tense sacred to ed
itors and kings, “called us a gentleman
and was promptly slugged by one who
said we were a bum.”
“They heaped ail the trouUes-ef the
universe upon our weary bald1 pate—
and then they lifted all our burdens
from us by beatin’ us at an election—
-Glory be!”
Here are some of the things the ex
mayor noted during his ■ six^. years as
“the public complaint box and foot
wiper”:
“We have settled land disputes.,
.family disputes,,dog disputes and some
unfair aoeounts..
“We have been' fosultedi disgusted,
spat upon and imposed upon.
“We have locked up culprits for
wrongdoing and then envied them their
place of limbo.
“We'hare been blamed tor stopped
sewers,, blocked ■ streets, bearenlv
showers,'' poor* telephone service and
, tbe-present* price o# cotton.
“We haT» been-cursed for cutting
ctovrn trees and threatened withdeath<
for allowing other trees to stand.
“We have been blacklisted for the
bum work of one policeman and ostra
cised for the sterling work of another.
“We have been called) a liar until we
almost believe-it.
“We have become widely known as
a graosb jasearl, an arch criminal, a
desperado, a policy player aDd a big
oted fool.
“We have beeryaccnsed of attempt
ing to give the Presbyterian church
title to the town hall.
“Mothers accused us of overrunning
the town with dogs, and dog owners
blamed ns with the deluge ef babies.
“One bunch/ wanted bogs in town,
while aaother said there were too
busa? hogs-already.
“Tbeytoursed our name when mos
quito time came.
“They yelled at us when the ditches
ran over after having been filled to ca
pacity by the good Lord.
“They-blamed us ferthe many pe
culiarities of oav neighbors, neighbors’
.chickens, dog, mat servant, maid serv
ant and mule.
“When the baby bad whocping
cough it was-because- we allowed' the
north- wind to blow, and when it had
colic it was because we allowed’ dope
fiends-to exhaust tbo supply off pare-,
gorie at the drag stores.”'
