The
BULL’S EYE
14ttmr mm4 Q***rml Mantjtr
You
Can’t Smoke
History
A fellow from Carolina wants to
know where I get the idea that
“Bull” Durham and George Wash-
ington come from the same state.
He says, “Why don’t you write and
give the people the real History of
’Bull’ Durham in its native State,
South Carolina, that people would
appreciate that'*faore than these
Bull Legends of yours."
Now thanks, Sir, for your good-
natured suggestion. If I knew His-
tory 1 wouldn’t be able to write
“Bull” Durham Ads. I would be
a College Professor, get everything
right, and get nothing for it:
Everything you suggested me tell-
ing the public about when and
where “Bull” Durham originated,
has been told for 66 years by typ-
ical Advertising writers. That’s the
only thing the Company asked of
me was “please don’t tell again
where it came from, or how.” You
see you didn't read their Ads, but
you did read mine and remembered
it, because it was wrong.
Writing Ads that will be re-
membered is a queer game. This is
an Ad, not a History. I selected
Ads over History on account of the
pay. (American Tobacco Com-
pany’s pay is as good as its tobacco.)
Where "Bull” Durham comes from
or where it goes to is left for the
starving Historian.
P.S. You notice I named in this ar-
ticle the WRONG Carolina. That’s so
North Carolina will get sore because
I named South Carolina, and South
Carolina will get sore because I didn't
name North Carolina. A true South-
erner never forgets.
P.P.S. There will be another piece
in this paper soon. Watch for it.

SCHOOL NOTES
Still we find that many are
dropping out on account of the
f ickness we hope that with this
; retty weather following the re-
i'eshing showers that those who
re sick will soon be hack in school
gain. Some few are taking an
interest in the Interscholastic
League. Is your child participa-
ting in any way? YY’e do not
want them to enter merely For
the honor of winning: although
that should he one motive but an
even greater one should be the
good that he or she will derive
frdtn this. A few days ago we
had a high school supervisor, who
said, “I 1 can pick out the pupils
who are participating for they
have a different expression on
their faces from those who are
not”. In the test of this state-
ment he was able to pick out all
of those in high school who were
doing this kind of work. It wil
be a big help to them and theii
school if they enter in this work,
because the state hoard alway
takes into consideration the en-
trants in this work in grading
affiliation.
A mock election in high school,
Monday and discovered that Dan
Moody lead in popularity by a
large majority as the percentages
ran as follows: Mot>dy (54 per
rent, Davidson 2(5 per cent, Mrs.
Ferguson* (> per cent, Mrs. YY’ill-
iams 4 per cent. YY’e are inclined
!o think that this in a way regis-
ters public opinion in this place.
Of course a number were absent
which may have made a differ-
ence.
