And If he was sincere and really
meant what he said, end I be
lieve he did, he has a man’s size

Wilkes county. For our present
school high qps in this county
have injected petty politics Into
every school in the county. In
May, 1933, I heard one of the
members of our present school
board tell a Demoerrt friend of
mine that the Radicals, meaning
Republicans, were going to fare
hard in Wilkes county. He went
on to say if Republican teachers
were allowed to teach they would
have to support the Democrat
ticket. Time has shown that he
meant what he said. That must
have been about the time Prof.
Eller was put in as superinten
dent for he mentioned giving
Eller Prof. Wright’s Job. The
most of us hold men like Adolf
Hitler in scornful contempt and
yet we have men that would be
Hitlers in Wilkes county. They

Take the love and kindness from

not lie when he said: “Be not

He also said: “Inasmuch as ye,

lets not forget to be kind to one

be kind to Jesus.
