THE CLEVELAND COURIER
YOL. XXVIII, No. 44.1
ASBESTOS BUZZING
Mr. Charlie Kinsey and family,
of Winder, Ga., have been visiting
relatives and friends here recently.
Mr. Paul Turner turned over his
new Ford Sunday, but fortunately
no one was seriously hurt.
The delegation from this part
had not attended camp meeting at
Mossy Creek in about nine years.
So on lust Sunday they put on
their best rags, combed their hair
for the first time this season, but it
was a job for there were hay seeds
there. Some of them with tears in
their eyes and lumps in their
throats as large as country biscuits,
told us we had belter not go for
we looked mighty seedy and
homely. We assured them that
when we got there we would have
plenty of company for misery likes
company and tout some of the fair
sex would be crying if we did not
attend. So leaving the growing
crops and the voice of the old cow
bell,the crowing of the rooster the,
cull of the guinea hen, the squeal¬
ing of the pig and the neighing of
the horse behind we were soon on
our way,but did not know whether
we would get there or not. On
arriving there it looked like all
North Georgia had turned out, for
it is such gatherings like this that
make us great as a people. In
their haste some had forgot their
crutches, wigs and wooden legs.
This is one of the greatest meeting
centers near the Cherokee National
Forest. Located on the Appala¬
chian Scenic Highway, the G. &
N. W. railroad and easy access of
the principal towns. They have
recently erected eight new tents
and recovered a part of the arbor.
Here is one ot the finest springs
in the state. Here is some of the
best people in the world and they
know how to make you feel at
home. There was good preaching
plenty of old fashioned songs,
“tater” custards and red mealed
watermelons.
We all can not be greut orators
and sway the sweating multitude
for some of our voices seems to be
a cross between the bray of Ba¬
laam’s beast and an old fashioned
wooden cane mill, but the least of
us can make a goose quill stuiu the
waters clear aud contribute some¬
thing to our home paper. We met
with a fellow from Atlanta last
Sunday who told us he has been
reading some of our clippings in
the Atlanta Journal and Literary
Digest. We, like the crow, wish
to hear a little flattery now and
then, but trying to dislodge the
piece of ham in our esophagus we
dropped a chicken thigh and Gap
Johnson’s old yellow dog ran away
with it. Some of these great
papers need our picture to disgrace
the front cover for we believe it
would look worse than Abe Martin
or Ichabod Crane. W’e should
have a good opinion ot ourselves
for self-confidence is half of the
great battle.
The most of us will soon be
aboard for Loudsville camp meet¬
ing. They have been holding
these meetings here for almost a
century or maybe over. We have
often wondered where Loudsville
got its name Dut we suppose it
came from the famous gold mines
locoted near by by the name ot
Loud. This is a great home
coining time for the people of this
section. The meeting time will
embrace the 5th Sunday in August.
W’e knew all along that there
was to be held a convention at
Yonah, but bad forgotten what
kind so last week we learned from
The Courier that it is to be a Sun¬
day School conventiou.
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Mr. Bell Makes Reply
I regret to have to make a per¬
sonal reply to any article published
in any newspaper, intended as a
campaign document, but the article
in the Maysville Enterprise headed
‘•Chickens Come Home to Roost”
beggars description, and I ain in¬
formed was written by an “out¬
sider” and unknown to the public.
It state* that in 1904 1 advocated
four-year terms in Congress and
limited to two terms. This is ab¬
solutely false. My statement at
that time was, that a man should
be kept in Congress as long as he
was doing good work for his people
and that 3 or 4 terms was trial
enough for any man, and that if 1
did not do more for our district
than had been done in the past, I
would retire after a fair trial.
I have never advocated limited
tenure of office in u legislative body.
The office of Congressmen belongs
to the people and they can elect
whomsoever they please. If I
made such a statement as is charged,
why would both my opponents
support me consistently and up to
the last campaign, and in fact
until they both announced against
me, and then make the point?
I have never violated a promise
made to the people; have never
misled them nor attempted to be¬
cloud an issue. The work in Con¬
gress now is important to the
people and my experience has
served me well since the beginning
of the World War. The welfare
of the ex-service man is at stake;
the French debt iBto be settled,and
I regret to know that neither of my
opponents have expressed
slightest sympathy for nor interest
in either. 1 have handled more
than 9O00 cases for ex-service men,
and have pending now before the
Bureau more than 1,700 claims,
which 1 hope to get favorable
action ou. Conditions are not
normal since the World War and
the people, in my judgement, are
not ready to exchange experienced
men for those who have not had
any such experience, especially
where the members have been true
to every trust and sincere in their
endeavors.
Sincerely,
Thos. M. Bell.

SHOAL ( REEK NEWS
The showers continue to come
and crops are looking fine.
We noticed a nice new bus on
the G. & N. W. railroad and it
looks like something that would do
to ride on.
Candidates are getting their
collars warm now and are be¬
ginning to pull good.
Quite a number of folks from
here attended Mossy Creek camp
meeting last Sunday.
We were present at the auction
sale north of Cleveland last Satur¬
day. We enjoyed seeing and
hearing all that was going on, but
having no money to buy with and
after standing around expecting
some of that give away money and
failing to get any we decided to
come away. They said there
would be free dinner but we were
afraid to risk that, being as hungry
as we generally are we would have
eaten too much besides stuffing all
our pockets full and of course some¬
body would have noticed that and
counted us starved, crazy or dog¬
gish and we could not have been
much bold about it and would have
had to taken anything they said.
So we just vamoosed out down the
road, came on home aud got our
cold bread and cucumbers.
