a fool Hit don't pay. Hit does not
reduce your taxes nor improve your
business. You may think that your
fayorite candidates. the standard
bearers ov your party. air n whole
lot better than the other feliers.
Perhaps they air; perhaps they air
not. At any rate. wouldn't give SO
cents fer the difference. generally

Ov course hit would not be wise
ter put weak men In high ofiises nor
low offises either. But none ov US
need conclude that the earth revolves
GROUND the particular party that we
happen ter belong ter nor that the
welfare ov the nation hinges on any
one man. Why, they air In North
Carolina Ave hundred men. perhaps
many more, who would make splen-
did Governors. In the United States
there air several thousand ov men
who would make splendid Presi-
dents. Az fer sheriffs. clerk ov the
court, register ov deds an treasurers.
there liz a thousan' or 30 In every
county who would do just az well az
our favorite. or better. I wouldn't
turn erround fer the difference. They
amt more than half az much differ
ence in men az sum seem ter think.
Sum air better than others; sum air
smarter than others: but take them
az they cum, an they do not more
than reach a common average. Mules
an hogs air list erbout the same.

times. / awlways did hev a lot ov
respeck fer the man that don't know
any better than ter be a fool. an a
lot ov disrespect fer the man that
ort ter know better, but does not
do better. Women air erbout the
only critters that air awl sensible.
an sum ov them air NIFTY foolish At
times. especially when they try ter
break into polyticks.
Well, | see that the pollytishuns
traded erround an beat my ole friend
Ashley Horne fer the nomination fer
Guvernor. / hoped that he would be
| nominated. But he had ter go up
erginst a combination ov pollytish-
uns an that wuz more than any
man could overcome. He didn't be-
long ter the ringsters. an that did
the work fer him. They will still
expeck that he will put up dough an
| other things, an reckon he will do
| hit, an they will awl be happy 50 far
az We common people viii know. We
will do the shoutin' an the votin'.
an the combination will get the Of

see that the crowned heads, az
they call the kings an sich over In
sum ov the foreign countries, air still
stirrin' up things a little bit. Sum
ov them air dealin' In scandals an
sich; in fact, that IL part ov their
duties. Betsy hez often told me that
she'd be glad ter see me up bit In
