Blew It's Falls, n. c., December 5th,
1G11.-This here town is the livest
burg we have struck since the work
men finished Of a building the printin'
shop er the Rhamkatte Rooster. We
had bin a hearin fer some time bout
the damming up er the river here and
er the building ov the great dam and
the power house hat would turn loose
'nough juice to light all the towns and
run all er the mills in eastern North
Caliny and also 'nough fer to print the
Rhamkatte Rooster fore breakfast
livery morning, and whin some er my
fellow capitalists from Bostlng and
New York and other furrin parts writ
and axed us to jine them on a special
train to come here to see a VIVA was
gin on, we put on ur Jim sWinger and
got aboard. It faint often tibet a
try editor has a chance to tech elbows
with elbows with these here finun-
cheers whose chief business is to clip
the and to sheer lambs. but
since we have built a new office and
issued bonds to pay fer 1t, we 1eel IKE
we air in the capitalistic class our
silves and so it would nave done the
Rha1nkatte folks good to er seen this
editor er talkin as big as Kernel john
sing about de d~ebenture bonds and
furst mortgages and cost Of Insulation
ord ii1liKyatS and them Una DIX
names dat the capitalists and experts
used as glib as we talk de common
english in Rhamkatte. We shore dlu
open our eyes when we got 70 what
the folks down here calls de Pee Dee
River, but you know it would er never
lone fer capitalists to take a rlbDer
and pull it oud'er channel that God
Almighty put it into and to harness It
and to put it to work without
it's name. so these here folks calls It
the Yadkin. I rickin they are right,
cause hat is what they calls the river
further up and we rickln a river
ought'n to AVE but n name, un'esS
it has done something wrong up ue
country and Whin it gifts down oe
country wants to change its name ana
reform itself and get a alias. We don't
know whether that is the reason tnese
here capitalists have called this here
p,ace the Yadkin Power ompany put
that don't consarn us. Old mar Shake
speare shore did hit it pretty near
correct whin he said thar amt noun
in in a name, and that q rose would
smell as sweet If called a
Well. we hadn't more an left Rham-
katie on the train fore a cOloreu poT-
ter come through, and seeing all er
we capitalists talking ABOUT uepti
lures and furst mortgages and Kill
watts. etc, and axed us to breakfast
1t shore was a swell affair.". finger
bowls an all them new appurtenances
which you have to have WIN you
git to be a capitalist. Out IN 1Ihahl-
latte, whin 1 have gin eatlng OF
orange at breakfast er a | perslhl-
mon, and git my hands a little slleu'
/ walk to the back doore and wash
them in the basin, but these mere
capitalists don't even git up, just SIT
right still and call fer a niger ana
he brings 'em a little round boWl ana
they wash ther hands right at the
table and wipes EN- on a clean nap
kin. We would hin it was mlghly
poor at Rhamkatte lot 70
wash our hands at the table. Whlh
Bill Skies wint up to Bostlng once -
feat some bonds on his rabbit farm
lie went out to eat with one of these
finger bowl nabobs and Bill nam
ever heard or seen a finger boWl at
The table, so whin the dago passed
around the finger bowls half full OF
water with a piece of lemon he up ana
eat the lemon, peel and all, theh
drunk the water before he had time 10
look around and see the otheT Jlii.le-
men were washing Their hands in the
water. Bill said when he was goln
to wash his hands at the table ne
much preferred to have a piece Oh
soap in the bowl than a piece OF
lemon. The lemon might cut the dlrt
ofn the folks tibet was used to 1t put
Tor him he wanted some b1led soap.
Eut this is another story.
