My Column By E. C. (Billy) Smith, Jr.
I am taking things soft and easy. Almost as easy as Mr.
Brinson let the casket into the ground.
There was a drug drummer by the name of Brinson, who
called on the Doctors and Druggists in Jakin, and he could
throw his voice better than anyone I ever heard. After he
would leave Jakin, his next stop would be Dothan and the
only road to Dothan then was by Chandler’s Ferry.
One day Mt. Brinson was going down the road when he
passed a negro funeral. He stopped his rar and joined the
lodge gathering. He threw’ his voice into the casket and
said, “Let me down easy, boys.” The Pallbearers turned
loose the ropes and the crowd scattered I As a matter of
fact, there was not enough left of the crowd to bury the
body, and Mr. Brinson had to go to Gordon to get a bunch
of folks to come bury the casket.
The Sheriff arrested him, the Grand Jury indicted him,
and he plead guilty to the crime; but what I started out to
say was I am taking it just as easy as the old fellow in the
casket asked the pallbearers to let him down.

A Few Passing Thoughts
BY “BO” McLEOD
If we can bounce through it without too many misspell
ed words, we have a passing thought or two. We warn now
that the words may wind up without the proper polish on
the spelling angle because it is late, we have ten more pages
to make-up and we’re tired.
At the same time, in the confession vein, we realize we
are about to take on a man-sized and capable opponent.
Our motto being, “So What,” we continue.
There is a cult of people—definitely on the increase
numerically—called psychiatrists, that is driving the state,
country and world to slow but deliberate and mercilessly
madness. In case you have but a few minutes, leave us
state the essence of this bit of bull: “The first thing we got
to do to have law and order in this here country is to take
all the psychiatrists out and shoot ’em down like dogs.”
With that bit of explanation made, leave us continue:
A little while back, a nut named Howard Unreth in Cam
den, N. J., did take into his little white hand an object,
namely a German Lugar. He did forthwith go out into the
thoroughfare facing his humible abode and did pull what
is called a trigger on the aforesaid Lugar and whereas and
therefore a dozen and more living people died. Those peo
ple died because the aforesaid nut did pull the aforesaid
trigger on the aforesaid Lugar. But was our hero a mur
derer? No, nay, naw and nope. He was mentally depress
ed and suffering from a guilt complex so he took it out on
a few odd citizens. The fact that among those who died
were kids under shaving age makes for a “tough, but that’s
how it is” from the villians of this story, the psychiatrists.
The subsequent “punishment” of the mad dog was that
he was confined to a home for the criminally-insane and
is doing fine, thank you. In fact, all he needs do is ring a
bell, ask for a quart of ice cream and he’ll get it, don’t you
worry. And some day, through the mercy and indescribable
ignorance of the already cussed psychiatrists, perhaps
dear little Howard can wash his hands clean of the blood
and be given a pardon, at which time he will have access
to an opportunity to break and set anew a record for whole
sale slaughter.
All this is not meant to be a slush of slander on the head
of what may have been an innocent duck named Unreth.
What we mean to discredit is the racket known in this en
lightened age as Psychology.
More recently, a person who had been previously coml
- to a sanctum for the criminally-insane had been
cured (probably through an application of upper-case
psychology) and released. To say that he celebrated his
pardon with an expression of destruction of more living
people would be putting it mild.
The crux of the matter is this: If any of you people have
a slight grudge or dislike for any one person in the world,
if he or she should beat you at checkers, or should blow
smoke in your face or commit any such crime unto you,
play it cool. Don’t call him or her a bad name, nor hit one
with a fresh hog liver. The proper solution: Take a fast
shooting firearm or knife (a razor would do) and kill at
least three dozen, wound 93 and have a seat. Soon a psy
chiatrist will come by and hand you a passport to three
meals a day, a nice, warm bed and cigarette money.
Could the Psychiatrists be right in their assumption?
Is there no longer such a person as the devil ? Can a person
be held guilty for any crime whatsoever: Why not reason
that a person caught stealing was as insanity-struck as
one pressing a trigger 4
Would sound a bit like a Quiz program, but where are
the contestants?
