Health is unusually good.
My wife Is able to sit up a little.
We had a good three DAYS meeting
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Jack,
son Spring where the old Primitive
Baptists communed and washed the
saints feet. 1t was a lovely SIGHT TO
see old gray headed men and women
down at each others feet, esteeming
brother above self. If the religious
people could see the beauty of looking
at your brother as being better and
more desirable in the sight Of God
than self times would be better. Poor
people would not be trampled on and
their rights regarded but now they are
Of little more value than a good coon
dog. The Governor of Tennessee
would not brag of having men to shoot
at. Wonder how he would like 10 he
put up for the first target shot? do
hate to see the rights of poor people
being trampled on. l want to ask the
thinking people of our free land few
questions. Why are there SO MANY
millionaires in our great and free
country? When they get a few mil
lions ahead do you ever see them loos-
ing any sweat at labor such as poor
men have to dor Do you ever think of
how they manage to keep that money
and never work. If you don't | Just
want to tell you that it is off of the
poor mans labor that he is growing
| rich. Have you non-union men ever
thought of the road you are in and who
you are fightingH What would you
think of boy if he saw some fellow
had his little brother down and stamp
ing on him would you not think it
strange of him if he did not got to his
brothers's relief instead of helping the
stranger.
Now, this is just what you men are
doing. You are stamping your poor
| brother for that rich man that rides by
| you in his automobile and if you did
not get out of his road he would Just
| as soon run over you as some dog
that had not ability to get out of the
way. Yet you will say ''This is my
right " Yes, | know it is bnt what
sort of right would that be to help
a stranger with your brother just to
brag of being in free country.
Would you not feel better to see poor
men getting good wages and sort of
divide up the millions that are being
gobbled up by just few2 Had you
ever thought that as he gets richer
some mans family is sure to get poor
err Do you know that it will not be
some of your own friends2 Then, for
heaven sake, think of the poor for you
always have them with you and lots Of
them. Lend them your help. That
automobile fellow will not thank you
| for your help. If times don't change !
am afraid Gov Cox will get chance
to bring out some of the men he has
been Dragging of. l want you all tc
know that l don't belong to any organ.

Lewis, of Midlothian, Tex, was il
Whitwell Wish l could have beer
with him. I sure would have enjoyed

ter. Would like to have been with J
