Carolina say to tho Governor OF South
Carolina?
Mister Fred Kirk and Mister George
Hagan came all the way from Columbus,
Ohio, to tell US what they thought OF US.
And when they got here we took them
In tow, ran them up against the line in
Manchester, and Mister Lurch's brewery,
SO quick that they forgot to tell us what
they thought.
we expect to hear from them by wire
when they get back home, after they
have had some sleep.
Anyway. we feel that they had
mighty good time. for they came TO stay
three days and stayed seven, and any
body who can stand our presence for
solid week. with about twenty cents
worth OF sleep, can stand. any old thing
that comes from the underground.
Dcv!led crabs Is what they saw for tho
first time when they got here. and Mister
Kirk carried one OF the shells home with
him on his watch chain as q souvenir
OF Jim Num-. who presented u to MIN
with few pleasant remarks.
They also discovered some James River
water. n sample of which they also oar
ried back with them. after Messrs. WI.
kIe. Freeman and Lonnie wilson mao
told them few alleged jokes.

For when payday now comes around.
we find our funds arc spent.
But let us get back to the main sub
feet.
When Christopher Columbus discovered
Riverside Park in ITO, he forgot to
plant n memorial tree On the spot. ana
now the place is as barren as our wood
shed or the top of our head. or smlthy's
purse.
And what we wish to again take Leave
in saying IS that something has got to
be aid.
How are we going out into the moons
light night and siton the grass under the
trees on Riverside Park and look at the
freight cars go up the James hlVer
branch. and count the lights on Hemmes
Street. Manchester. II there Is no grass
and no trees?
