' Preacher Teester came down from Western North Carolina accompanied by the Rev. K. 1) Hopkins, pastor of the Cullowhee Church of God. "And have you ever let a iiiake bite yeu, Mr. Hopkins"!" "No." said the bespectackled ana bewhiskeied little m:ui. "but I've done more things than let a snake bite me to test my faith.'' "What, for instance'!'' "Why 1'v,, wrapped them all uiound my neck, and let them crawl over my body live rattlesnakes." "Ami did they bite you?" "No God wouldn't let them." "And do you, like Mr. Teester, scorn the doctors'!'' ALL RIGHT FOR SOME PEOPLE "Well, w,. don't scorn the medical profession. It's all right for. some people, but those who get so close to God they have the faith, doctors aren't necessary." Preacher Teester explained that he wasn't a regular ordained minister. "It was only about fourteen months ano that I received the call " he ex plained in his mountain idiom- "I fit mpiifT.. from on hiirh. and I started preaching ngnt arounu nome, spreading the word of God " "Your hand doen't hurt now?" "Not much, now," he said, extend ing his hand, still swollen. The marki made by the deadly rattlesnake' fangs were still visible. "Some people, brought the snake into the church." he related. "God .told me to tak,, it out of the box and let it bite me, 1 wasn't afraid. 1 held it in the middle so it could bite me. Then 1 put it hack in the box. It got loose, :md I ran down the aisle and caught it. Then it bit me again, almost right in the sam,. place. KEPT PRAYING "It didn't hurt right away, but be fore I got to my brother's house two miles aw iy, I was nearly blind. 1 got seriously sick. . My arm swelled dou ble. My tongue closed my throat. I suffered. Put I did not lose conscious ness, I kept praying. My congre gation prayed for me. Someone came and said they would get a doctor. Put my voice came to me and I said no, a thousand times no. If God wanted mo to die. I would die. But God wants, me to keep scattering His word, so all the world can hear." After a few- minutes, the backwoods evangelist stopped answering ques tions. H(. was impatient to get back to his cabin on Cullowhee mountain, his wife and his five children. ' Tees ter's first wife is -dead -she died few years ago in childbirth, refusing to have a physician- He left here at s p. in., after informing a- number' of persons over long-distance that he would let them know about revival engagements tomorrow.

Sen. Robert R. Rey nolds remains "Our Bob." And his office is in many respects, the most interesting 'p'ace in Wash ington. He has been here this week and somehow the word was passed around. There has not been a time during the week when the 12 chairs for visitors were sufficient to accom modate those waiting in the recep tion room to see 'ie Senator. That is, there has not been such a time between the hours of 9 and 12. For since Congress adjourned the office has been closed e.ich day promptly at not n. Until this week, W. E. Mc Donald, the Senator's secretary, would answer the telephone after the office closed But this week the Senator lound it advisable to shut off the telephone as well promptly at noon. MUCH UNANSWEREU MAIL But despite the restrictions placed upon the public in order that there may lie some time to answer corre spondence, there is still much unan swered mail. For everybody with out a job apparently wants to talk to Senator Reynolds and many for whom he already has secured jobs are in fear of losing them or desire better ones. And thev also, are on hand when the office opens. Perhaps the reason there is al ways such a crowd waiting to see the Senator is that once anyone gets into his inner office, he is treated as if the Senator had no other interest whatever. And. for the moment at Uast, he is altogether sincere about it. lhere is no question about Bob Reynolds wanting to help other folks. That sincerity probably accounts for the fact that people are willing to wait hour after hour and return day after day for an interview. But it all produces a tremendous nervous strain. A man with a different tempera ment would parcel out his time, see every caller for a moment on two and clear out the reception mom in an hour or so. That is not Senator 'Reynolds' way They have to wait to see him- but they can take their time about it once they get in. And 'apparently they like .t . NOT 'CHOOSEY' Another type of man would also 'oe more "choosey'' about whom he tiies to help an, in that way, would secure a larger percentage of jobs for those whom he seeks job.-, as there are only so many jobs to be had. For example, the Housing Adminis tration has (inly about -1,0011, Sena tor Reynolds has tried for nearly half of them and has not yet gotten any, although he will probably get his -ha o eventually. Up in Senator Bailey's office they have a Very simple rule. If you have a letter from the Democratic county chairman in the county in which you lesido, you get a letter to the depart ment from which you want a job. No, letter, iki endorsement. And when .Senator Bailey is in town- those see him who can con vince Thad Page, bis very efficient secretary, tliat there is some point to the interview. Senator Reynolds recognizes party -organization, too, .but he by no means confines his activities to those bear ing such credentials and the only limitations upon seeing him are the physical limitations created by the fact that he lets each one who gets in stay just as long as he wants to stay. For Senator Reynold-; prides him self upon his cloe contact with the masses and when traveling through the State, as he did last week, his hi;-.nno,- nf fence building is a man ner all hisiown. He does not turn up his nose at -the -politicians--at the eoun.-, ty seats. But neither does he travel from county seat to -county seat. He stops at every cross roads and make many stops in between them. Here is what he says happened a few miles from S'outhport last week: "I stopped my car and spoke to a farmer ""Reynolds is my name, I said, shaking hands. "'".."'. " What Reynolds?' he asked. r .s. !3l . LjJL3 ATOK " 'Bob Reynolds," 1 answered. " "What Bob Reynolds ' In wanted to know.- "'The United States Senator," 1 told him " 'My name is Roosevelt,' he told me. "'Which Roosevelt?" I asked him. "Franklin IV" was the answer. W hen Si nator Reynolds tells that oine the chandeliers in his office shake. But he is planning to be away from constituents. Sen. Pat Harrison already is en route to Mexico City to visit Ambassa dor losephus Pain Is and Senator Reynolds has made icntative plans to go to Mexico City himself, leaving Asheville by next week, traveling by automobile in a sort of goodwill tour for the American Automobile Asso ciation, i f which he is a vice president He also plans to visit Ambassador Daniels.- Robert R.
