One day little Johnny was told by
bis mother to bring some kittens in
to the house, and to be very careful
with them, to handle them as if they
were Sowers. A short time later his
mother saw Johnny bringing the git

on the fly paper. Suddenly she cried
out, "Oh mother, I am learning the

Hickory Record,
The Concord Tribune wants to
know “Where Does the ‘Real Stuff
Come From?” It had reference to a
story the other day that moonshine I
liquor made in North Cardlinn was
sent to sea port town* ,irnd poured
into interesting looking bottles and
then shipped back to the inland
states for sale as the “real stuff.”
Can't you just see some of our old
mountain corli being carted away to
some island country where it is
doctored into “real stuff?” And that,
we venture, is where it comes from.
The story mentioned the Eastern
part of, North Carolina, but 110 such
laurels shall be whisked away from
the magic Western section. To be
more exact, we would point un
| hesitatingly at the South mountains
and name it the source, of supply. 1
< This, newspaper has been accused of
j advertising the industries of that
South Mountain section so such an
extent that the demand cannot be
.supplied. Possibly we are gui'ty. If
.the supply cannot be «topi>cd. it is
! just as well that we patronize horn
industries. Here is a firm belief that
thy South mountain product is as
pure as any of tbe rest.
Keep Him Out.
Statesville Daily.
Newspapers readers will recall'
the noted and notorious G. C. Berg
doll, who, aided by his mother's
wealth evaded the draft in war time
and escaped to Germany, where he
has since lived. “A few days ago he
came into public notice on his way
to jail under a change of wronging a
girl. The case is- yet pending, but
thfre is a suggestion that' Germany
may deport Bergripll. It's a pity" that
Germany, which Harbored him when
he sought refuge there to es -ape
taking up arms for hie home coun
try,, could not be compelled to keep
him. with all his undesirableness.
But our chief concern in this conn-,
■try is that he doesn't head . back
this way. If he makes the attempt
the American legion boys and ,all
other citizens should meet him at the

Somewhat comnvnsumte with his
'deserts. As the war period recedes
the hates and prejudices that are a
part of it recede and are succeeded
b.v a spi t of general amnesty
toward all who offended in war matr
ters. Therefore if Bergdoil shou’d be
returned to this country lie would
hardly receive adequare puuinhmenf; 1
and under ail the circumstances his
absenge is preferred to his presence ,
—even his physical presence in jhill
; Our only interest in Bergdoil ia to
see that he stays out. He doesn't be
long with us.

NEA SetvftSe Writer
Washington, Feb. W.—The rmpos
sihle's happened.
Calvin . Coolidafe has talked too
much. At any i-fate, the “presiden
tial spokesman” has.
• • *
Congress consists of regular Repub
licans, regular Democrats and so
called radicals, Who arc rebel Repub
licans, mostly.
In the 68th Congress, as in A is,
the 69th, the regular Republicans had
a safe majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, so leave the House of
Representatives out of consideration.
But in the Senate the democrats
and- radicate together are strofirfer
than the regular' Republicans—that is
so say, wtien .they vote unitedly.
* • •
In the last Congress that’s what
they did, tying up everything. '< ,
So, between sessions, tbe regular
Republicans buttonholed ttip regular
Democrats and said, “Let's cofhbine
against these dam radicals and you
Shall have some of the gravy.”
.* * *
Thus was formed what the radicals
called the “coalition,” though the reg
ulars, on both Bides, batbd the ex
pression.
Every time the regular. Repufalicaas
, wntnted to dw anything of any conse
quence, they proclaimed, “This is non
;partisan,” whit's- enabled the regular
Democrats- to--vote for it.
* • *
Hence the expression of apprecia
tion from the "presidential spokes
man.”
The regular Democratic senators’
home folks hadn't been paying much
attention to what their senators were
doing, but when a Republican “presi- 1
dentin’ spokesman” , complimented
them they sst up and took notice.
Whereupon the. “coalition” blew up,
with a deafening report, in the midst
of the Senate debate on the tax bill. .
As for the tax bill, “Go to it! Rip it :
Up l ! Ruin it!” yelled Senator Smoot, :
'its sponsor, in an aeess of fucy, as he I
saw what the combined Democrats
and radicals were doing to if.
Judged tbe Public by Their Horses.
Henry Ward Beecher, it is said,
told Doctor Newell Dwight Hillis,
when the latter was starting out to
preach, to study the horses in a com
munity first indstead of the people
He said, “If they have fine, spick and
span horses, those people have ’high
ideals and yon can do them a lot of
good. But if they have poor, broken
down. hnif-starved horses, get out of
there. You can’t save those people’s
■souls because they have no souls to
save.”
