Mountain politics

 Politics was a high card up in the hills. A political speech would bring out the whole country. Folks would pack their picnic lunches and you'd see people at a speech you'd never see elsewhere. Back in those days' most every boy grew up knowing as much about local politics as about coon dogs, which was about equal as to interest.
