He Got Up Eariy-Georgia and
Her Convict System-A Man Who
Deserves no Sympathy.
Correspondence of The Caucasian
Enterprise.
Bilkinsville, N. c.. Oct. 5, 1903.
l see that my old friend w. r.
Hearst, ov New York, liz In trouble
ergin. Fer long time Mr.. Hearst
hez bin runnin' "one man" perlit-
ical party. Bein' rich and havin'
two or three payin' daily newspapers
ter draw on, Mr.. Hearst had a guide
deal ov fun an got talked erbout a
wuz the only man in hiz party he
met with CRATE success. But he wuz
ambitious an that led ter hiz gittin'
a bad setback. Sum time ergo Mr..
Hearst concluded to add two or three
members ter hiz party. Ermong
others he took in feller in Georgy
by the name ov 'Luttler." This
feller Luttler wuz awlso ambitious
an begun ter think that he wuz the
whole machine. He really thought
that Mr.. Hearst wuZ really runnin'
ov a perlitical party; he didn't catch
on that hit wuZ mainly a supply
house fer the comick pages ov Mr.
Hearst's newspapers, an then
trouble broke out. Mr.. Hearst got
mad an kicked the Office cat, tore
up two copies ov the New York Jour
nal, an then dictated a two-hundred
word telegram ter the effect that he
wuz glad Luttler had quit, an that
az they didn't seem ter be any other
honest men in the United States,
he would continue ter go hit erlone
an do awl the votin' an other rough
work ov hiz party.
Mr.. Hearst liz purity smart an haZ
plenty ov money. But he will hev
ter learn one thing, an that IL that
they air not many honest men in pol
lyticks. The average man in polly
ticks will advocate anything frum
barn-burnin' ter temperance legis-
lation to carry hiz pints, an he will
put on sich a sanctymonious look
that you will believe that he IL in
earnest or else that he IL dyin' fer
the publick guide inch by inch. II
Mr.. Hearst will cum UP in the
mountains an see me I'll give him
sum pinters on pollyticks that will
do him a lot ov good. hev takin
the 32nd degree in pollyticks an
know the game.
see that the newspapers all
still discussin' rich nen an thell
habits an tellin' how they got rich
Nine times out ov ten hit IL by hare
work an economy, "early ter bee
an early ter RISE" an by workin
Saturday afternoon when poor peo
pie air fishin' or frolickin'.
Erbout the only rich man 1 WI
ever acquainted with lived In Raj
eigh. He would git up early ever
mornin' but he didn'a git ter worl
much earlier than other people.
I awlways did think, an still beleeV
S that he got up early so az ter he
e plenty ov time ter mix up a gud
, toddy. an after mixin' the first on
he'd find that breakfast Wuz no
ready an then he'd mix two Q
three more toddies. FOrty-nine time
out ov fifty that il why rich men g
e m so early. Don't believe aWl tn
e tommyrot you hear erbout rich me
gitten up so soon in the mornln
l. they air not awlways up so early 1e
d the sole purpose ov chasin' the
d mighty dollar.
f. I see by the papers that Georgy
havin' more trouble with her col
~ vict system. An she orter. F'ru
what 1 kin larn Georgy hez hes
more convicts off the chain ga1
e. than she haz on hit. influence
no lkeeps them off. Georgia IL a gu'
deal like Kentucky-whenever
81 man gifts a little property or standl
ne in the Wurld he wants ter kill som
st body or do sumpthin' equally az p'
ia list ter show the common herd tn
he il too high up fer the law {
NC reach him. An we still hev a II
Id snecimens ov that class left in Nor
Carolina, l am sorry ter say. Bu'
believe they air signs ov cnan
in that particular. An hit IL nj
time that they wuZ change,
10 the devil hez had forty years
lat solid picnick in this State, an
ia because the smart mean ones sto
tergether while the masses, or
"asses," scattered an gave them Il
'lu rein, politically, socially an otn
