Because Lucky Strike is the toasted cigarette. A Letter to the Editor Landrum S. C. ; Route 1, March 9th, 1921. To the Editor of Polk Cd News Dear Sir: I have been thinking I would write you a letter and compli ment you on your paper. I wish you would tell the readers of the News I think we ought to have a day to get together; I mean every man and woman and let the farmer tell the salaried man how much he had left after guano and taxes were paid. I think the farmer would have been much better if he had , sold all his stock and corn last spring and sit down. He would have been able to bought back twice as much as he sold and got to rest beside. Now let me tell you what some of the teachers in free schools get: one hundred and seventy-five dollars per month that is nearly as much as the farmers make in a year, is that right? No. the man that makes bread by the sweat of his f ace demands as much for his labor as any class. Thank the Lordll have my guano bill and taxes paid with nothing left to' buy clothes for tlfe babies. When you. take the poor people and get all they have how do you expect them to clothe their children sq as to go through the bad weather to school? Now every thing has gone to the top except brother love and when love goes to the top and we are willing to do un to all men as we would have them do unto us. Then the farmer will get as much for his labor as teacher or preacher or lawyer or doctor or any other county official I hope the time will soon come when there will be no Big I and little you. I want the good peo ple of Polk when you read this if you can feel just as I do write the News a letter and tell us. Now for dessert, let us ask the law makers to pass a law' that every man work all the public road that is on his land, the man that has the most land works the most road. The next law I want, let a bushel of corn be the price of one day labor no one to have more or less, Now with best wishes to the readers of the News and it's editor I close to come again if this doesn't get in the waste basket. , March 11, 1921 City Commission Tryon, N. C Dear Mayor and Commissioners: We noted in the Polk, Conn tv News of March 11th, that all citizens were reauested tn w A ' ' VTA W the Good Road Commissioner Mr. Frank Paere at Aberd N C. boosting for Tryon and Polk county for- their share of the good roads that are to be built So we are enclosing conv of our letter to him and hope every citizen wilr do likewise, J . or xyx ii wiey aot wemay yet, as Editor Bush says, "Pull liyon out of the mud." Very truly yours. ' Brown and Wilkie Y March 11, 1921 Z. Mr. Frank Page v Chairman Good Roads Commis sion, Aberdeen, N. C. Dear Sir: , having some, l if not all of the roads in North Carolina good roads, for they ..will prove to be one of the greatest assets of our sDlendid state. We are glad also to have as Chairman of "the Good Roads Commission one .whom we think believes in doing things that are for the best interests of i all in the'state, and as property owners and tax pay ers congratulate you on the opportunity given you and the Commission to . demon strate what can be done along these lines. . . We feel sure Tryon , and Polk county will hot be forgotten when you get under way," for good roads are sorely needed in this section.- Our beautiful little town attracts many people, but one of the first things we hear is, "Why don't you have better roads. ' ' These people do not want to invest here until condi tions are bettered. So we hope in making your survey that you will come and talk things over especially with our Mayor F. P. Bacon and other citizens. We should be glad to have a line from you. Yours truly, Brown and Wilkie.
