Gentlemen, Ladies, Fellow Citizens

simply wish to say that I am a college
graduate, and hold an A. B. and
a B. A. and a P. D. Q. from St. Mogul
s University of your own and my
great state. I have never before asked
for a public office. (Voice from
the crowd: "No, and you needn't be
axing for it now. You ain't hardly
fit to stay at home"). I am in favor
of the 18th amendment. (Voice from
the crowd: "What do that mean,
more licker?") I will also support
the high tariff: (Voice from the
crowd: "Maybe you is, but we ain't
goner support you"). I am fully

boy?we've got your number, Set
down"). I want yo?to (Set down),
you, er, er?(Hush up)?to heli?
(Somebody shoot him). (-Chairman:The
meeting is over).
Solomon has Been To Town
I believe .Sammy Skinner is the
smartest boy I ever saw. He was
raised in a briarpatch down close to
my old home. He was not excessively
smart in his youth, but he'? smart
now. He had' a good father and
mother, both of whom were consecrated
Christians. They believed in
in the Bible just as it is, and they
had family worship, and attended
church regularly, and paid the
preacher.
But Sammy left Home about the
time he was grown and went up to
Philadelphia and got a job. He never
did tell exactly what he worked
at up there. iSome said he was a
lawyer, others said he worked in a
Cafe, and still others said lie had s
position in an iron foundry, .'ffe
boarded at a place wher^ Prof, tfra
Dyrfe L L. D., D. t boarded. Prof.
Lyre taught science and biology in
one of the colleges in Philadelphia,
and it seems that he took time always
to talk to Sammy SHnner a
heap.
Sammy came home last summer,
bareheaded, eupporterlees, wearing
specks, and smelling like Glover's
Mange Cure. He called around to
tell me howdy. I soon found out
that he waa above the average citisen,
or ai least ho fait that way.
He had it Arih yankee brogue. He was
not vary severely edocated, bat he
was a good talker.
come out to church the following
Sabbath. He laughed long and deep.
He seemed amazed that a fellow of
my intelligence (?) would waste his
time going to church. He said going
to a religious service was the bosh.
He then began to expound some of
I'rof. Ura Lyre's doctrine. He said
there was no heaven, no hell, no hereafter,
no ?in, no nothing except imagination.
He could prove that the Bible was
all faked up. (Gosh, Sammy was
smart). He explained that all things
evoluted from nothing. He wanted
me to believe that religion would be
an unknown quantity in less than 25
years. He said only old fogies and
some habitual folks believed in it
now.
He said the idea of a God or a
devil, or anything else that was considered
spiritual was a rediculous
thought to him. Gee, that boy is
smart. I simply can't understand
how he learned so much in 5 years.
He is a cross between a pimp and an
imp. His little brain would rattle in
a chigger's stummick. He's \vorth
about as much to the country as a
citizen as a tumble bug is to farming.
He made me so sick I thought
I'd faint. If he was gro%d up into
! fertilizer, he'd make about an 8-1-1,
I and the only thing that would prove
then that he was fertilizer would be
his smell. That's all] thank you.
How lo Be Happy Though Married
Keep your mouth shut while your
wife is talking, and if she ever stops
?just keep on a-saying nothing.
I have been trying to figger out
whether the law would hang Hickman
before sending him to the pen
for life, or send him to the pen for
life, after hanging him. Those 2 eensentences
staring him in the face is
enough to give him the indigestion.

The funniest thing about the cotton
mill industry is?none of them
are making any money, so they say;
and half of them are curtailing, from
all reports; the price of cotton goods
is going down every day, from what
I can hear; yet?new mills are being
built all over the south, arid the old
ones are doubling their capacity, and
still others are being talked about
every day.
