Domrett Shell™ r IKE'S TILE " V . .. ■ ■ ... . < gAL TALKS SOME Well Ike has gone off sum whar agin today and I don’t guess he will be back till he comes, so I jist thought I'd write and let you hear from me. When a man goes off you never can be certain whether hit is liquor he is after or sum old hussy of a woman that hair.t no account fur nothin.’ Ike use tu be bad tu git drunk but sence he has come out fur a candidate fur office he quit, and I haint heard of him drinking a drap since last Saturday nite. He may be gone fur several days this time, fur he put on his clean shirt that T washed up fur him tuther nite wj^ile lie wuz asleep. I allers wash his shirt while hp is in the bed so that he wont ketch cold. Hit wouldn’t surprise me much to hear of him be* leg on the tuther side of Wards crick by this time fur when Gus Richard come back in with the mail yesterday he also fetched back sum news with his mail, saying that he seed a track in ihe road near No-Business moun tain and that he wuz willing tu swear that if hit wuz not made bv Ike then hit v/uz made by sum one else. Ike wants tu be elected president the worst of any feller I ever seed, and i I hone be will be too fur I’ll swear I I list believe that we will perish tu death if he don’t; fur he jist won’t | work a lick tu save my life. I do know tu my soul that Ike is one of the j triflingest married men that I ever i lived with! But he is a good sort of ja cuss in sum ways atter all, and Ca i s;ii- wood not seem natural without I him. I am writing these few remarks in order tu help him out in his cam , naign, as it were, fur his liquor and j tobacco is about played out and the j election still far out in the future. Then, I think too, that he is en jtifeld tu hold office from the fact that he has never held office but twice in his life and both of these terms wuz fur two years each on the chaingang. .While I don’t think hit becomes no woman tu brag on her old man, yit I : will say that Ike don’t look so bad in 1 the face if he wood jist wash the dirt ' off so you could see hit. I remember I time when he cum a courting of me j on Saturday nite, his face wuz clean and he had pn store clothes with a i blossom pinned on his coat and blam j ed if he didn't look purty decent. But ; that wuz a long time ago, and folks I do change powerful with the passing of the years. They say that Ike is purty good when he gits out a electioneering fur ■ office, especially among the women folks fur he jist naturally Hk« them purty good, whether they vote fur him ‘or not. They say that he spirts ’em lots of stove wood an dearries slop tu ; ;he pigs fur ’em when the sign is in j the mouth, and does lots of other | things tu make their harts glad. ; These air facts what I’ve writ down here on these lines—there air other 1 facts that could be told but these air | enough. Now when you have read this tu your entire satisfaction, you may re tire away off in the woods alone and study over the mater till you drap off tu sleep, thpn if you can make up your conscience that hit is the right thing tu do vote fur Ike fur president, and we will make Casar the seat of gov ernment and start everything anew from now henceforth and forever. Epluribus unum. SAL. BOY GIVES HIS LIFE IN RESCUING FRIEND Asheville, May 6.—After he had rescued another student from drown ing, Roy Woodrow Wingate, 18, mem ber of the senior class at Christ school near Arden, sank exhausted in the water above the power house dam yesterday afternoon and perished be for aid could reach him. Wingate was not an experienced < swimmer, but when he heard the cries for help of the boy, and saw him struggling he lunged into deep water to rescue him. Wingate shoved the hoy into shallow water where he was seized by other students. Wingate then sank to his death before the gaze of half a dozen of his eomrades who were powerless to aid him. The body was found later but efforts at resusci tation failed. Wingate lived with his mother in Asheville in another month he would have been graduated from the school. The supreme court held the Ne braska bread law invalid—probably on a rising vote.
