Cracks And Otherwise
A person can no more teach something that he doesn't know than he can come back from some place where he has never been.
Georgia still leads the nation in the production of illicit moonshine liquor.
You pay 5 billion dollars a year in interest on what Uncle Sam owes.
Grade A teachers in North Carolina will draw salaries ranging from $2081 to $2787 next year.
This is a 28 1/2 per cent increase over present salaries.
North Carolina has recently set aside 300 thousand dollars for a hospital for the treatment of alcoholics.
We could lend them a few patients.
Some of our candidates for Governor have recently fallen off the wagon.
Political purges are distasteful to most people.
One of our newspapers wants to see a candidate for Governor who hasn't been mixed up with either of the old factions in Georgia. We would just like to see what that kind of a guy would look like.
