real life to get our heroes ne de-
clared.
Travel is better than books as an
educator, but All cannot afford to
travel. Part truth is the worst kind
of error.
when God made the world he made
North Carolina first, then he made
Georgia, and what he had left he
spread over the rest Of the world. at
least that is the way 1 have always
thought of it.
Respect for Woman.
THE first mark Of decay and de-
generacy is lack of respect for woman.
Today in Texas you have woman
rights, but woman has right to stand
up in street car and hold onto
iaather strap. 1t always makes me
homesick to see woman holding onto
q leather strap, above a man; my
mother used to hold a leather strap
above me-lots of times.
I'VE are all creatures of prejudice
and that is one reason those people
back there stay where they are They
can't understand why a man should
raise the price of oil for two or three
days and then give 100000 to char
ity.
More About the Mountains.
u am one of Is children and my
mother was one of 10.
Hog and hominy is not poetic; it is
real. We live on il back there We
can raise good corn and the hogs can
root around and get a living from the
wild herbs and nuts
The Irish potato is wild yegeta-
BILE growing in the mountains Of North
Carolina Sir Walter Raleigh intro
duced it into Ireland during the fam
inc and it took the name of Irish po-
tato.
Il never saw anything prettier than
a North Carolina mountain girl with
a string of chinkerpin beads around
her neck
L made my own shoes when 1 was
II years old. I killed a steer to tan
hide We also made our own wagons.
[ drove 112 miles in one of these
wagons to the market at Atlanta and
sold hams and bacon, the steers and
the wagon, sent the money back by
the postoffice and then walked back
killing Hogs.
I'VE used to go out and shoot our
hogs in the mountains. using an old
flintlock to do it. We would hollow
out a log and put the dressed hogs
into it, about eight of them at time,
and let the steers find their own way
down the mountains.
Then we had real sugar cured hams;
we cured them with I've, potash, red
cob ashes. buttermilk, and red and
black pepper. If you use red cob ashes
the johnnies never get into the hams.
We used to sew the hams up in bob
tail Shirt-you call it mosquito bar or
bobinet out here
"Buckwheat straw is some thing
even the cattle will hardly eat unless
you make them believe they cannot
have it. Buckwheat straw has become
a byword back there, and a man who
had, married off his five daughters told
another who had seven who were be-
old maids, that he worked the
straw trick on their beaux.
That. is, he pretended ne did not want
the beauX around, so they just stuck
and the girls ran off and married
them.
THE people back there have no false
modesty; they have big house and
a little house. They all sleep in the
big house while the little house,
which is the other-room, is the kitch-
en- Those people will not tell you a
lie.
Measuring Distance
Speaking of distance back in that
country they say it is a right smart
step or a look and a peep d.
Down there we'uns split our hearts
in half and lay them out before you.
Youns have a heart as big as a hick-
DRY nut stuck up on your shoulder"
Christian Science
Referring TO Mrs. Eddy, Mr.. Bulgin
said: Christian Science will die since
they have lost the pope that was at
the head of it. She said that sin, sick
ness and death are decisions; well she
was deluded"
Dr.. Bulgin said he thought it provi-
Dental that it should have been
brought about that the account of her
death should be published in the same
issue of The Herald as his sermon
gainst her cult. He said he had made
nearly a week ago to
print his sermon in The Herald Mon
day, and on that very day The Herald
recorded her death. He urged every
Christian in FL Paso to buy a copy of
The Herald and keep it as an heirloom
