MIKE WRITES PAT.
Greensburrow, N. C,
January 13, 190G.
Deer Pat: I picked up a repub
lican paper the other day, an I notis
ed that some of the republicans is
awfully disturbed about the way
people are takin onto Tom Dixon's
Clansman. Of course, I dout no
what the Clansman is, but I could
tell that it had something in it
about the niggers, an I believe that
its got something about the repub
licans, whether it jist comes right
out an says it or not, for tney seem
to be mity uneasy about the thing
for fear somebody'll raise the nig
ger question again. A fellew here
at my elbow, by the name of Solo
mon Wiseacre, says the Clansman is
a drama that shows how the Ku
Clucks put it to the old carpet-baggers
who come in here after the
war, an got the oflises, an put the
slaves in power, an disfranchise
white men, an scared white wimen
to deth, an issued bones for $.25
cents on the doller, an laid the
foundation of a skeme for Mary
Ann an her brother, Repudiated B.,
to get rich collectin repudiated
bonds, an so forth. Well, I dont
no what it is, but I no a republican
polytishen gets mity uneasy when
you yell nigger; an I gess it makes
em think of the campanes iu this
stait in 1898 an 1900, when the best
people of the stait buried the re
publican party beneath a great wave
of righteous indignation, an outra
ged decency, an all of them things
you feel like when you know you've
done rong an everybody's down on
you, an a thinkin about how mean
you've been every time they see you.
Yes, in them two campanes, the
good people all stuck together, as
they ought to do all the time, aa
rite the names of Mary Ann an Re
pudiated B. an Jeemes Young an
Abe an Isack down iu the same
column with such nanus as Bene
dict Arnolds. The rads cant stop
fussin over the oftises long at a
time, but once iu a while some fel
ler yells nigger to scare em, an they
turn dethly pa'e.
But where's the silly-white repub
lican party that was organized three
years ago? Did Teddy order the
thing smashed, of did it rub up
against Jeemes Young an Abe Mid
dletou, as of yore, till a fellow cant
which is which? I dont think Abe
an Jeemes an sich fellers have any
fears or any doubts as to their again
havin the exalted privelige of show
in their kinkycrateied ivory dens
at the same old stand when the G.
O. 1'. (Grand Old Pig) holds future
Stait conventions.
Well, I think the Tar Killiu an
Iilackbern's crowd is a goin to whip
out the Industrial Nuse an Mary
Ann's crowd in the marshalship
BOSS JEEMES is a goin to be re -
appointed, an he smacks his lips
jist like he is eatin his last piece of
gooa oiu leuerai pie. uont you no
he'll be a hard one to wean? Wont
he hate to give up that god old
pie? Wont he hate to quit bossin
the republican party in Randolph?
Who is that noisy little feller
down there in Randolph that say
I accused him of gittin his orders
from Greensburrow? Who ever
heard of him before? What kind
of paper is the Bully Tin? You
jist tell that egotistic little feller
that I was a thowin stones at the
crowd an dident no he was in it, an
I would never have nown that he
was hit if he hadent yelped. I was
a shootin at big game: 1 dont think
it pays to waste cannon balls a
shootin at snow birds. I wish you
would send me a copy of the Bully
Tin, or lin Bull, or what ever you
call it. I want to no what sort of
a paper it is that you say is a givin
me the dickens. Dont be a showm
my letters to toKes. i indent ame
for you to tell it about the Ram
dolph republicans a gittin their or
ders from Greensburrow. If you
dont keep your mouth shet you'll
nave tne hole crowd onto me. if
there was a whale in the crowd I
wouldent mind bein swollered, but
it makes me shudder at the thought
of beia nibbled to deth by minners
an craw-fish an tadpoles an so forth.
You keep your mouth shet about
my letters hereafter. Here's a verse
that Solomon Wiseacre advises me
to follow:
"The dog that howls is the one
thats hit,"
"Is a sayin that's old an wise;
Let him growl, an whine, an his
big throte split
"Over so-called thiusts trom
Federal court is in session again,
an many are the ones that yern for
the welcome verdict of "not guilty."
The deestrict aturney is a span kin
good feller, an he's too smart for
grafters an revenuers. Oh for them
preshous words, "not guilty : But
Mister Holton intends to bring
them grafters to justice. He'll
give the oSls-brokers, as the Tar
Kihn calls em, a lively time takin
care of their heelers an keepin em
out of trouble. Pat you jist ought
to move up here. Old Guilford is
a movin up hill the fastest of any
county in the stait. With good
graded schools an good acadmaized
roads all over the county, you may
bet that our people feel proud of
what they have done to b"ild up
the county. People up here be
lieve in progress. A farmer can
haul grain an wood an so forth to
the market in any kind of weather
for mcadamized roads cant get mud
dy, an you can haul three times as
much at a load, too. Why dout
Randolph do something for her
muddy roads? She could do as wej
have done, vote three hundred dol-1
lers in bonds, an have macadami-1
zed roads. If you want to keep the I
best people in your county you
"Hist build good roads an good
schools. I
It worries me about makin
that
little feller mad about gettin orders
from Greensburrow. I dident
mean a thing about him. Bay, rat,
wont you go up there and call him
hunney, an tell him I dident mean
him, an see if you cant keep him
from bilin over an spillin out more
bad words. I dident no anything
about him, so I guess the Greens
burrow feller that sent out the or
ders dident no there was sich a fel
ler in the world. Is he a native of
North Carolina? I dont recon they
send him any orders, for I dont
suppose he'd no what to do with em.
He wouldent no what orders is,
would he, Pat?
Your brother,
Mike.
P. S. Dont forget to keep vour
mouth shet about what I rite.
