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. Ohoopee News Notes. Jessn Meadows went down to Savannah last week.

Ricks kil’ed a very large wild cat last week down at Lynn’s Bridge, and in his scuffle with the cat there was blood left on the bridge and a rumor has gone out that there had been foul play. We are glad to say that it was nothing more than a wild cat killed. Haw Thorne. 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.
