His home was taken from him, his range and kitchen heater All had to go to buck against that lying water meter.

They didn't care a tinker's d—n about his plea for right/\^ Or that the meter showed a million gallons In a night, The fact that ho was out of togn all summer cut no figger Although It seemed to make the meter bill a little bigger. They kicked him from the city hall and kicked him In the street, And told the Chief to hang him, if his story did repeat They "twenty-threed” him in a whirl and told him to skiddoo, "To H—1 with water kickers," quoth the aldermanlc crew. “We’ll hold our jobs and roll our ‘wad’ os high as any steeple We're in lor life, and do not fear the 4—n poor Common People We'U burn 'urn up on water bills, for nothing can ho sweeter Than wringing out tho dollars to the music of the'meter.” And thus the Common People who plain justice had expected Are handed out a lemon by the men whom they elected.

The following was the resolution on the matter, as adopted: "Resolved, That the members of the Montgomery Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and other members of the Grand Army of the Republic residing in Alabama, be Invited to attend the business sessions of the coming sev enth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans at Montgomery, Ala., November 13, 1907, and that they also be Invited to take part In the parade of the U.
