Things and
Other-things
By James W. Alexander
SEPTEMBER
You are my little darling
With bonnet touched with gold,
And baskets tilled with colors
To prove the year is old;
I love to see you linger
While summer says goodbye,
To see you meet Miss Autumn
So wonderful and shy.
Of all the ticks in the world,
politics can bite the hardest, sting
the deepest; disgust the mostest
and amount to—the leastest! it
I Is fun to get out among your
friends and find out, if you can,
1 their resons for seeing as they see,
| doing ag they do, and—feeling as
they feel, Their reasons are
based on qqzte a number of dif
ferent things, and that’s where the
kick comes in.
I find very few people who like
a kicking mule; they all say
there’s no good in such a mule;
that real danger lurks behind hie
| ears all the timet They have
learned from experience thus far
in life^ and they hover no doubts
as to that being real truth. But
I find on every corner, in every
j cotton and corn patch and by
every river, a fishing—bunches of
| men that will tell me right quick
I that they like for their mule to
paw and paw on the stable door.
“That shows action,” they will tell
me. “Shows he is a rearing to go;
to gobble up whatever comes his
way!” And they go on to tell me
that a mule of this sort will eat
the bad fodder and spoilt hay, and
is a regular mule for the poor
feller. So this brands the mule
that paws on the stable door as
a discontented-poor-feller's mule,
always hungry and willing to gob
ble up the good and the bad, and
still keep on a pawing because it's
the nature of such a mule. Now,
all 1 can find out about the kick
ing mule is: “He is a rich man's
mule, and is trying to kick all the
good my poor pawing mule had
done clean out of existence,” Talk
as much as I want to talk, and I
find out no more than that about
the kicking mule!
1 may take a notion to run for
something sometimes. And if I do,
the frist thing 1 am going to do is
make a iwrrible big fuss. One that
can be heard most all over Geor
gia, and when the folks crowd
around me to see what’s happened
I'm agoing to rise up and say,
“Fellere, I’m fer ye; I’m the only
friend yer ever had.!” Then I’ll
go straight off home and tell the
wife I'm the same as elected!
j During my trips around, feeling
about and seeing what I can see,
I've got to feeling like there is
something the matter with the
world. It seems to be over on its
back and a kicking like rips to get
over right-ways again. The peo
ple seem to be sitting on it, almost
unconcerned—with their hands
folded, and half asleep. I’m tell
ing you, nothing but a terrific ex
plosion can move a one of them;
they would sit there itil doom’s
day unless blasted off by some
great excitement. A big racket
and a soft phrase: “Jump folks,
I'm fer ye.” Just this has open
ed the grates to the Dictators al
most all over the world. And
right here in good old Georgia we
have a man smelling about for
kicking.mules, wondering if there j
is enough left to kick the Dictator
itus outof his system, and He fears
that there is. I am watching this
man. With his little bite of sugar
he has tried to sweeten my taste,
but I've tried to be honest wiht
myself and check up on where this
sugar comes from. I find that
those sugar drops are only left

masterful table, after hie kith and
kin and paid advisors are full to
burst. And I further find that
those sugar-drops were all taken
from I’aul and handed over to
Peter, in order to please Peter and
his large family. An dat the same
time, make Paul mad as the dick
ens and cause him to jump up and
down and furnish the racket which
the world seems to crave, eince the
world seesm to be on its back and
kicking to get over right-ways
again.
This man I am talking about is
fast on racket-makinc and gum
dropping, but short on hoss sense’.
Even if the pawing mule does
make the most fuss and eat
bad fodder and spoilt hay, he can’t
last long on a diet like that. The
poor woman who tolls in the fields
for forty cents a day will soon
starve out; it won’t take long
~
when , the .. man she . depends , * , on to .
buy , , her produce , can make , . but , ten .
cents per hour. If this man 1
am talking about paws his way
back into office and is allowed to
have his way, the woman who
toils in the fields won’t make
any\iing a day; there won’t be
any market for what she toils for.

Writes a Letter
to Doyle Smith
Mingling Junction,
September 6, 1934.
Dear Doyle
B4 I tell U bout walkin frum
Mansfield 2 Covingiton last week
1 wont 2 ask U aint U goin 2 need
a wagon or 2 on sum uv your
farms this fall?
It is a habit of mine 2 keep
“tab” on Norris Hardware Com
pany, whar me and Mandy do our
tradin and tha got in a shipment
uv the famous John Deere wagons
last week. Now Doyle when I tell
U thar R more John Deere wagons
in use in Newton County than any
other make, I am confinin myself
2 facts. Them fellers hav ben
se’lin them so long tha hav for
got when tha started. A lot uv
folks in this county hav ben usin
thar John Deere wagons so long
tha hav forgot what tha paid for
them. Bult not a 1 uv them will
ever forget the quality uv them.
Doyle if U R goin 2 need a
wagon—either 2 horse or 1 horse,
them fellers hav all sizes and I
Believe tha hav them at a price
that will B uv interest 2 U.
Doyle, last Week mandy and 2
uv her kinfolks wanited 2 go 2
Covington. Tha heard uv a store
over thar sellin 2 perculater tops
for 5c and had me take them over
2 make a purchase. U hav heard
uv back seat drivers bein 100 per
cent efficient. Well, it wuz them.
When I went round a curve, I
went 2 fast. When I mat a car
1 either went 2 close 2 It or went
2 near the ditch. When I passed
a wagon in the road, either blowed
my horn 2 soon or 2 late according
2 thar idea uv horn blowin. When
I got 2 Mansfield I drove up 2 a
service staltion and asked the man
in charge if he had sum gas that
would stop knockin. He assured
me he specialized in that brand
uv gas. I asked him, Doyle, 2 give
each uv the ladies on the back seat
a quart—and I had 2 walk 2 Cov
ington.
