Ewbank) ''" Dear Hoke: ' . . ; I note with what enthusiastic Ink You've told the people what yon think! - I would not say that you had lied Whatever argument you applied To bolster up a losing cause And fill the woods with great ap plause! No worthy cause Is won by "bunk" ? And cheap abuse 4s only "punk" That dribbles through a leaky brain As faulty roofs let in the rain. ..--.-. A man of your intelligence, Good judgment and true elegance, When .his opponent "acts the fool" Should keep his buzzing cranium cool: Don't fret your blooming carburetor; Just call in some arbitrator -And ask if it's right and fit, .

Yours sincerely, WYT. MR. EWBAXK SAYS TIMES DEMED HOI SPACE FOR REPLY Editor Hustler: Having been criticised editorially by the Western North Carolina Times for the article which appeared over my signature on the 17th of October 'in your paper, I applied to the Times management for space, at advertising rates, to reply, but was refused on the ground that all space 4had been disposed of. It would seem that the Times is afraid to publish in its own columns the indisputable testimony of their own leaders when that testi mony is fatal to their cause. E. W. EWBANK.
