State distrust and humor mix in Uncle Huie’s column
An eleventh hour dialect essay from Uncle Huie of Hog Creek jokes about political fear over the 1960 census, debt, and wasted spending. He contrasts Congressmen with a blanket metaphor, pokes at advertising on women's knees, cites a Georgia wife sale, a New York courtroom incident, and hints at scientific race toward kinship with apes, closing with a collect-warrant invitation.
