If you haven’t seen Episode 4 yet,
you’ll enjoy it much more by watching Episode 4
prior to reading the publications below. There will be
confusion without the background information.
Directly below is Episode 4.
We may not have ever realized
the pre-death plans for the
Smith’s final Lost Cause monument
without this clipping on the FindAGrave.com
profile for William Alexander Smith.
That’s why we’ve chosen to call it:
🍀A Bit Of Luck🍀
Some will admit they’d
rather be lucky than good.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
Below are copies of the first and
fifth pages of Volume 1, Issue 1
of The Anson News.
A newspaper that apparently never existed.
We’ve also included a shot of the
rear inscription that was
obviously an afterthought.
We have also linked the papers below
to information on the Great Strike of 1934.
Along With
🍀A Bit Of Luck🍀
‘Fidelis’ is an odd choice for
the final word of the inscription.
It’s puzzling what he would be faithful towards.
The women, the claims of service
that are a lie, or
is it faithful to the Lost Cause Myth?
The Rear
Inscription
Select one of the papers below for more information on the
Great (Textile) Strike of 1934 that started in North Carolina
with 65,000 textile workers walking off the job on strike.
North Carolina initiated the nationwide strike on Labor Day
(September 3, 1934) of 1934.
Curious Timing…
