“Lend me ten dollars,” said the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of Tennessee when they were overtaken on a lonely mountain road in Henderson County last Saturday afternoon.
“With pleasure, Sir,” said the Governor of Tennessee to the Governor of North Carolina, and His Excellency paid the $10 into the hands of a doubting speed cop.
The two executives were bowling along over the inviting roads of Henderson County, doing considerably better than the statutory mileage, in the limousine that the State provides for the transportation of its Governor.
From The Independent, Elizabeth City, Friday, July 13, 1923
