Editor Adair County News
This is to tender the compli,
ments of the season to your es
teemed journal, as well as to the
surviving friends of the odd
Kentucky Home" My rule is
to Judge a workman by his chips,
and while not personally acquaint-
ed with Hon. Barksdale Ham
lett, he evidently knows how to
edit a local paper. In the Ian
guage of the book of common
prayer, from these faWnlng,
time-serving, spineless broad
brimmed rural roosters that sur
felt its readers with glorlfica-
ions of some imaginary endown-
ments OF some ordinary local or
acle, or the charms of some back
woods belle: May the good
Lord deliver US.
AS everywhere else, We have
that infiiction among us In North
Carolina. Among other eXtrav-
agant claims, they also assert a
monopoly of courage and pa
triotism. To read their lurid ar
fragments of Prussianism, you
would expect to see them smear
ed with war paint, with Keeling
tomahawks; and we expect. dali
Iy, to read the thrilling an
nouncement that they have the
CORY scalp of the unSpeakaole
Kaiser in their belts while his
pelt ornaments their stable doors.
But, strange to say, they re.
main on this side of the Atlantic,
and associate with Theodore the
Unspeakable and Boisterous
Boanerges, Billy Sunday Both
these worthless are the incarna-
ton of war; but when it comes
to a showdown their fangs are
not venomous. Certain sky-pi-
lots, dough-faced lawyers and
belicose observation-disclosures are
in same category, but are not
missed from home, nor are they
clad in uniform. The most mil
liant takers in our midst are an
cient and faded crowbaits who
know they will not be drafted,
and move heaven and earth to
have their patriotic sons exempt
ed on pleas of weak eyes"
'undersize," and dependents"
l am so, have three sons who
are volunteers and one drafted;
and rendered my own enlistment
last spring. So far, have not
been accepted; but am ready to
march forth at tap of drum.
Yet, strange to say, deliver no
militant speeches and indite no
fierce philipics. | have whined
around no exemption boards, and
can take care of myself. At
present | am teaching. as prin-
cipal, in a three.teacher school,
and have oversight of 124 pupils,

holidays. | have one son, aged
12years, at home in public school
and | look for some called" but

charged with sacrilege and dis.
loyalty.
