Liquor, Flu and Governor.


Some weeks ago a citizen of
northern Richmond county, c. j.
Mckay, wrote to Governor Bick-
EFT requesting that five gallons
of whiskey be sent him to help
in combating the flu. To the
request the Governor replied as
follows:
Raleigh, Jan. 9Th.
Dear SIR
Your letter of recent date, requesting
that the Governor send you ten gallons
of good whiskey for use in nursing pa
tsents suffering with influenza, has been
received. In reply beg to advise that
it is impossible for the Governor to fill
your order, as he has not drop. If we
! had that much liquor this Office would
feel impelled to turn it over to the State
Treasurer to be used as basis for the
bond issue toraise funds with which to
meet the government halfway in its appro-
priation to build good roads in North
Carolina. You say, yourself, that poor
man can't get it. This being true, then
it would be impossible, of course, for the
Governor to keep himself supplied on the
salary he now receives.
Yours very truly,
Sandford Martin,
" Private Secretary.
And now Mr.. Mckay has again
written the Governor on the sub
ject of whiskey-for-flu, as follows:
Ne Pekin, Feb. 7th.
Dear Guvner:-
Ireceived your reply to my letter. Am
sorry you did not send me the five gallons
of whiskey to be used in fighting the flu
and sorry to know that the salary paid
to such valuable Office is too insignii-
cant to afford the amount requested and
if said amount was available and sold
and the money appropriated as suggested
by you | venture to say that it would not
build thirty steps of good roads in mt
gomery county. Now dear Gouvenor
while 1 am indeed sorry that you are not
able to supply me / must confess that
of late have been extremely lucky and II
you should happen to suffer an attact Of
the flu do me the honor to write me and
will send you five gallons of the best
whiskey Hade around here which in fact
is suficint in its quality to make the ears
of Jack mule stand straight but please
ask your secretary not to claim the flu
for either you or himself until he really
has it for camafageing will not be accept.
ed IN this proposition but my dear Cow.
ernor if the flu serves all alike l trust
that you will have no occasion to ask for
this free will offering and now Gouvenor
am going to ask you not to say much
about my proposition for some one might
ask from whence Johnnie came l will
close by saying that l hope that within
the next year the salary of your office
may be increased to double its present
proportion am your ardent supporter

Parents Should
Read This

The alarming increase yearly
noted in the number of school
children suffering with eye strain
is proof enough that modern edu-
cation, with its long pouring over
closely printed books, places a
severe strain upon the sight.
Steps should. be taken to remedy
this physical defect. Glasses will
often turn a stupid, ailing girl in
to bright and healthy one; a
whining backward boy into a
manly fast developing little fell
low. The effect in cases of ex-
IRENE need is almost magical. In
most cases parents are slow to
suspect the need and gladly sup
ply it when informed.
To learn with certainty wheth-
er or not such need exists, it is
only necessary to consult an eye
expert.
The eyes of all children should
be examined by skilled special
ist before school opens and again
every two years thereafter.
Children must be ACCOMPANIED
by parents.
