MY NIGHT IN KINGS MOUN TAIN Editor’s Note: An elderly gen tleman came into the office and said that he had gone since the morning before without food, that he had slept on the floor all night in the railroad station. He asked us to buy some of the Npocm he had written. We told him that if he would write us a stoiy on his night in Kinga Mountain we would pay him for it. So his story follows below: A few weeks ago I left New Or leans, where I had bean employel for a long time, and came by train and bus Into western Georgia. Krom there on, until I reached Greenville, S. C., (where I ran out ol' money), 1 was able to make a bare living. Tuesday I trod the highway from Gaffney, S. almost to Kings Mountain. Night fell shortly after I got there. Tired, hungry and mon eyless? I went into a poolroom to rest and to escape a heavy down pour of rain. Anxious to get under cover for the night, I looked up the night policeman and asked him if any provision was made to take care of people who were placed as I was. I mentioned the fact that 1 am not far from seventy years old and had trampled the road foodless all day long, and needed rest and sleep. I was told by the policeman that no provision had been made to take care of men placed as I was. He said people ought to stay where they belong. He didn’t explain how they were to live in their home towns when they were moneyless, jobless and friendless. Finally he told me I could stay in the railway station. I thanked him for that. There was one man and two wo men in the waiting room when I got there. The arm-rests on the ben cites make it impossible to lie down on them, so all step on the floor with a layer of newspapers to rest on. Almost any kind of a shelter looks good on a rainy night to on*1 who has no other place to go to. But who likes to see women lying ! MAKE APPLICATION FOR HOME 1 jOANS EARLY Salisbury.

There are also plenty of high-type men on the road who are trying to get a liv ing for themselves and familes. To see men and women lying down, hungry perhaps, on a bare, unclean floor, one must say this should not be. There should lie some real heart felt interest shown at least to the woiihy poor.
