Kay Replies to Chips.

your last question tirst-the one in re-
gard to the dispensary. l have never
said (and never why that tho dispensa-
ry is good thing for Newberry, and
my advocacy OF tho disponsary was for
such as just will have liquor sold as
over against our old barroom system.
II we must have the ono or tho other
| give mo the dispensary for reasons too
numerous to mention every time. Now,
I don't think Prosperity is obliged to
have liquor. She has boon without tho
legal traffic in evil for sixteen years,
and have our good people beon mistaken
so long and just now found it out. We
think not, and in regard to the remark
that we will have liquor sold hero any
| way that all depends on whether tho
| constable gets tho keg or not.
| will go further and say that no man
known for his devotion to his church,
and who Is opposed to this Illicit traffic
can buy drink Of liquor from n blind
tigcr. We doubt Chips If you could
| buy one here. l know there Is n good
| deal OF talk about tho sale Of whislscy
hero by some people and you ask them
II they have seen 1t sold or bought any
| and their reply Is, ooh no, but l am
told 3d." and II you ask them il they
will make an affidavit to tho fact that
1t Is being sold they tell you very quick
| ly that ii Is none OF their business to
make afidavits, etc. How easy it Is to
/ find fon1t ,vi N yictt ,nnI;tiDno l,,,+
how hard to take the lead in improv-
| ing, especially when we have such mon
rs you are, Chips. A pillar in the
church advocating the sale OF that
| stuff that sets on fire the soul and caus-
cs thousands to fill drunkards graves
every yoar. Take my advice, Chips,
read your "Way Of Salvation" again,
and in future on all questions OF NOR
als and evils take tho position on these
questions just as you pray, and my
word for it you will never be found ad-
vocating such evils as liquor solling---
and then vote as you pray, and the
good work will be accomplished.
No, Chips, l did not get ashy at you,
| old boy, for | know those who give
must take. I know full we'll "that q
| little noncsenso now and then is relish
! cd by the wiscst men," l fear that we
have had SO much nonsense all the
time that the long suffering readers OF
The Herald and News are tired, and l
promise them that with this letter |
will stop all this nonsense (unlcss you
jump on me AGAIN. and try and give
them the news. further promise that
| there Is going to be no trouble between
MS, for goodness knows if you or wcro
to get our faces tho least bit disigurcd
we would be sight to sec. a knock
out blow about tho face would six" us
and we would indeed be purity.
The idea OF your going to those So
cials just to please the children, and
and you "grandpap." You can't fool
| Kay nor anybody else so far rs that
goes. You are like tho parents who
| go to the circus just to take the chill
drcn. Now, grand pap, You should
quit trying to palm yourself of as
young man and stay at home except
Yes, Mrs. Kay remembers tho time
when You and she won't to tho same
school, and what good little boy you
were and how smart and good looking
you were, and shc says you have i'm
proved rs you have grown older. The
| iden, but then she feels kindly towards
you, old boy, for coming to her rescue
so nobly and exposing old man Kay and
his running Off, and she Is in hopes
that you will catch up with some OF his
games and give the whole 4l.Ip away l
haven't lived with her for seventeen
years not to be able to read her writ
ing. hereby extend an invitation to
you to go with me on my next jaunt up
into North Carolina among the noun
tains where Sal calls on her friends to
hold her roasted potato while she
''dances with the man with store
bought clothes on" l will promise you
some mighty good rations, and Judging
from the way you hid rations on the 9th
OF last March you arc pretty good on
'em.
You ought not to show me up 80,
Chips. Does your Book tell you to do
this about friend? Read it aguin and
see II 1t is in keeping with it and the
lesson you would teach me. In the
language Of this same grand old Book
would say to you: Cease to do evil,
learn to do we'll, and only tell about
your friends what you would like to
have told on You.
| am now done with tho subject and
imagine can hear many amons.
Come out to soc me, old boy, will
be at home for a week.
| Many thanks, Mr.. Editor for tho
picture OF tho group Of The Herald and
News pen pushers, and must say that
1t Is fine one--barring Chips and mo.
Tho least Kay in our flock has learned
to name many Of them. She saws there
