THE STUPID MASSES IN THE SOUTH
Is expected that the stupid and seqnacious masses,
the wh'e victims Of avery will believe, and as gene.
raj thing they do believe, whatever the Shareholders tell
them; and thus it that they cajoled into the notion
that they the freest, happest and most intelligent
people In the world and taught To hook with prejudice

and invenuoness has lagged behind the North, and
now weltering in the cesspoo OF ignorance and degra
