Hope this is acceptable. Found it while typeing up obituaries and it's
from
a newsletter on family/genealogy of Aiken County by Mr. Henry Arthur,
1963.
Honesty, I just found it today, had never read it before:

"We were asked while in S.C. if Tarheels could vote. Oh, yes! They all
vote, some many times in one day. The trouble is getting them counted
the way they were marked. And another thing we have learned about
elections; In electing Roosevelt we found that a man could get it for
life;
in the election of Truman, we found that a member of a mob could get it;
in electing Ike, we found out the country could get along mighty well
without one; in the election of Kennedy we have found out that it is
mighty
dangerous to have one at all."

You know what they say, "nothing new under the sun"?

Have a great day,
Larry Scott
