High Point Again
Well, Mr. Editor, I see you
headed High Point against roads,
plesae correct same as the old Sage
is far from it. And the people,
when reading mv article with an
eye and a heart for fairness, will
readily see unfairness in the whole
thing from start to finish. The
idea of all the widow ladies that
pay taxes for their minor child
ren, and Lave no say in heaping up
an uncalled for bond issue. Please
render unto Ceasar the things
that are his, and unto our children
right not wrong. Then just think
under the present registration law,
how many tax payers that pay
their taxes that cannot vote for or
against county bonds, if that’s
right then it don’t take two
wrongs to make one right. Please
take a little snuff and sneeze
Oh, well some wise one is ready
to say “the old Sage is a little
off;” yes a burnt child is afraid
of fire, and the grown up ones had
better be afraid of this bend issue,
for its more dangerous than scar
let fever or the more dreaded boll
wevil. The money that’s raised
for roads and bridges will keep
them in goed condition for the
farmers to haul crops on to the
market.
We dreamed that the bonds
were to raise money to grade and
build roads for the automobile to
speed over, irrespective of v.hose
mules and horses were scared and
tore all the buggies and wagons to
kingdom come, and wives and
children all bungled with broken
arms and legs. Well T could go on
with this dream, telling how much
suffering will follow, but will de
sist, thinking the voters will think
seriously of the welfare of their old
mothers and dear wives and child
ren before voting for a bond issue.
There is too much show-off in this
thing to be genuine, yes, it costs
too much to pay the fiddlers. I
don’t care if cotton do fotch 14
cents. Sam, have another pinch
of snuff: me thinks if you could
take a good hearty sueeze you
would say to Melindy, Mary, Sal
lie, Jane or others, “well, I was
kinder expecting to vote for bonds,
but after looking at it from a dif
eront view point, I love my wife
and children better than to risk
their being murdered by the reck
less running of them automobiles,
for this is a serious thing, and I
am telling my Merinda so,” and
she says, “Sam, that old Sage of
High Point is.right; he sure has
the good mother’s and children’s
welfare at heart.”
Says wife to Sam “I do hope
the old Sage will make a low drag
at Senator Joe Terrel lor trying to
remove that young lady from the
post-office and putting a man in
her place. Shame on him for that
act. Praise the Lord for His de
vine mercy. J. C. Banks.
The Philadelphia Press says:
“The state of Pennsylvania is
practically out of debt, and there
is a large surplus in sight.” Pit
our contemporary wisely refrai
from any conjecture as to how
long it will be in sight, knowing
as it does tlie proficiency of Penn
sylvania politicians in the high
art ot grafting.
We don’t blame a man for kick
ing when he is called muleish.

Son Sees His Father, Dead
Forty Years.
Benevolence, Ga.—lt is seldom
that a posthumous child 40 years
old has the privilege of gazing up
on the features of his dead father,
just as they were in life before the
birth of the child, but 6uch was
the unusual experience of George
11. Smith, Os Texas, who was
present today at. th-* disinterment
of the body of Dr. George Smith,
which took place in a burying
ground two mileg from this place
Dr. Smith at the time of his
death, 41 years ago, was one of
the most prominent and wealthy
practitioners of this section of the
state. He was instantly killed by
a bolt of lightning.
The remains were buried in a
metallic coffin and today, when
the body was exhumed, it was in
as perfect condition as on the day
that it was lowered into the grave.
Those of the older inhabitants of
this place who saw the body today
state that they can pte absolutely
no change in the body, even the
skin being in practically the same
condition as it was forty-one years
ago. The gloves, linen and collar
on the corpse were also in a state
of perfect preservation.
The son of George H. Smith was
born three months after the death
of his father, and today when he
saw the features of the father who
died before he was born, he was
profoundly affected.
Experts sav that the preserva
tion of the body is probably due
to the fact that Dr. Smith was in
splendid physical condition when
killed, that the embalming was
carefully done, and that the air
tight coffin kept the moisture
from evaporating and thus pre
served the corpse in exactly the
same condition as when it was in
terred.—Ex.
