*Atticus said professional people were poor because the
farmers were poor. As Maycomb County was farm country, nickels and dimes were
hard to come by for doctors and dentists and lawyers. Entailment was
only a part of Mr. Cunningham’s vexations. The acres not entailed were mortgaged
to the hilt, and the little cash he made went to interest…Mr. Cunningham
could get a WPA job, but his land would go to ruin if he left it, and he
was willing to go hungry to keep his land and vote as he pleased.
