hev jist got back from Washing
ton City an will rapport the fruits
ov my visit, hit bein' the second Of
fense erlong that line since Col. Billy
Wilson stumbled into the Presidency
because he had failed TO renew hiz
axtdent policy. or because he carries
the left hind foot ov a graveyard rab-
bit, ] don't know which. When
rode up TO the White House on Bob.
they wuZ sort ov commotion
tectives who act az body guards ter
the President an family, an l wuz
afraid that Jodeseevus Daniels mite
ferget the record that hiz parental
ancestor, a native ov North Carolina
Wilson County, made when he guild
ed the Yankees up the Neuse River
an pinted out how the Yankee gun
boats could an did practically de-
stroy the town ov New Bern, proceed
to Kinston, landed soldiers there an
killed somethin' over twenty ov the
citizens there, mostly men too old tC
be in the army an who had taken up
arms to try to protect their women
folks an children from aWl sorts ov
outrageous conduct on the part ov
the sailors an soldiers aboard the
Yankee fleet. The feet then proceed
ed up the Neuse River az far az hit
ov soldiers an they proceeded az far
az Raleigh, whar they wuz another
fite with home citizens, some bein'
killed. on both sides Those killed at
New Bern were mostly buried there.
The home people killed at Kinston
monument wuz erected and unveiled
there only a few years ago to keep
green the memory ov the citizens who
fell there. Just South ov the city ov
Raleigh, hardly mile from the State
capitol buildin', stands an old breast
works ov earth which had been hast
lily built in an effort to repel the Yam
kee invaders. But they proved too
strong for the people ov Raleigh. an
the Yankees captured the whole town
an held hit for some months. The
Yankees killed there lie in the Fed
eastern limits ov the city. Most ov
the defenders ov Raleigh (home cit
izens) lie in that beautiful spot, Oak
wood cemetery, just outside ov Raj
eigh, dead, dead, dead. No braver.
no better citizens ever lived. Dan
iels failed to reach Raleigh,
| believe. but he did not fail to come
far enough to lead the Yankee army
we'll on their way toward Raleigh
Men branded as traitors in secular
an Biblical history could hev shown
better excuses for their treachery
than could Daniels, whose below
ed son, located at Raleigh some years
ago to conduct an alleged newspaper
an who, assisted by political hood
lums, red shirts ballot-box thieves,
registration tricksters, a crooked, de-
ceitful eleckshun law which il known
no + -
even deserves the name ov a law,
which heZ reached the acme ov hu-
man political trickery, though hit
wuZ gotten up to bear lin appear
ance only some ov the earmarks ov
fairness an justice between man an
The hands ov many ov the legislators
who passed the law were at the mo-
ment stained with the crimson ov hu-
man injustice instead oy the clear
waters from the fountain ov Justice
A few more or less good men were
caught in the vile net an remain in
hit yet because they happen TO be-
lieve a certain way politically an hev
not the sense nor the courage to cut
loose from the net which wuz placed
SO carefully for the sole purpose ov
entrappin' credulous mankind, which
liz often easily done because many
men are az silly. politically, az young
birds in a nest, who know no better
than to swallow each an every worm
offered by the mother bird. But
mother birds air generally regarded
az both sensible an honest an so the
birds do not fare so badly, after awl
But you can't say az much for many
so-called men, many of whom are so
dishonest that they hope the bosses
will receive them. an then hit be-

The great sin ov the present age IL a
desire to be humbugged in some way
