Cibt C&erofcee ftcout YW Official Organ of Murphy nm? Ckuroku? County, North Carolina. BRYAN W. SIPE, Editor-Munugur. MISS H. M. BERRY. Auociate Editor j PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY ) _ ? Publ'c Opinion In his speech before the Associated Advertiisng Clubs of the World at the British Exhibition. Mr. E. W. Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific Raitay. told of the expenditure of $?i7.000.000 by his company since 1SSI in the colonization of the Dominion by advertising. Mr. Beatty sai in part: "'Therein lies the strength of Canada's position. Canada has had the confidence to advertise. and to keep advertising because sh- knows she has something worth while to offer." The expenditure referred to was probably not all appropriated to newspaper space, but since the days of Benjamin Franklin the newspaper has been a moulder of public opinion. Through its editorials and news of happenings of the day we are able to grasp the meaning of current events and even of the future to enable us to prepare to meet situations that do not yet eixst. Then. too. the advertising columns of the newspaper are a source of education to those living in rural districts. People in out of the way places are just familiar with happenings o? the times as those living In the great centers of population. The wife and mother?the stabalizer of the home, upon whom the burden and responsibility for theproper training and feeding of the family falls, depends largely or. newspaper advertising in forming opinions and making decisions. Familarlty with advertising has given her a sensitiveness to anything that rings false. Therefore, advertising copy of a genuine article must be free from exageration if it is to receive her favorable Consideration. Commendation of this kind is surely noteworthy and local merchants will do well to heed the method of those who have given many years to the study of marekting problems. If the financial condition of your business will not permit of n large advertising expenditure, it is to be remembered that a slow and continued smal campaign will always prove profitable. Let this paper show you what can be done. Seal Sale Has New Interest The sale and purchase of Red Cross Christmas seals this year should have a new interest for the nomito of Murphy and vicinity. The proceeds from the sale are to he used in purchasing lunches for undernourished children in the public school? 8 cause to which every public spirited citizen in Murphy should rally. In every community there are always children who are illy clad and insufficiently nourished. Each community must solve the problem for itself as best it can. If it is not solved, the chances are that many of these children will be deformed or dwarfed and become public chnnres whenf they have crown older. If the) problem is taken care of, human need is relieved and productive citizens i made of them. Until this year, no systematic effort has been made to care for such i children in this community. Now ! it is only possible to extend a helping hand only to those in the public school, where the need is most glar) IngTThe first of this week the undernourished children in the lower grades of school were given a milk ) and cracker lunch at the morning re. f cess. This will be continued through[ out the year if funds can be raised, v Funds derived from the sale of 1 Christmas seals will be used for this 1 purpose this year This gives the seal 1 sale a special interest for local people and it is exoected that the sales this year will far outstrip those of ^ any previous year. They will be on sale from now until Christmas. ?

Whatever may have been the reasons of the board for taking this action, it i certainly seems unfortunate for the i agricultural interests of the county, i It is to be hoped that whatever obi stacle made the discontinuance of I the work seem best at this time will j soon be removed so that this impor| tant work can soon be resumed. The retiring county agent has been ' in this county just short of two years. ' During that time a considerable dii versification and revival in farming i activity has been apparent to onlookers. Considering that it always takes : some time to get any new work un| der way. it is fair to assume that suc . ceding years would have shown much more tangible and valuable rc; suit- than the past two have. Turing the tenure of the present county agent practically every farm { in the county has been visited several j ; times during each year and helpful j advice and suggestions have been offered. A new interest was created in bet-! ! ter livestock, which was marked by! i the bringing in of blooded animals j , and the shipping ut of scrub calves j ! and cows. This work was just getting 1 i w? il under way. ! The growing of white potatoes was : stimulated and several carload shipments of this product were made from , i the county this year. It has beer, j I demonstrated that the white potato! can bt grown to good advantage in ' this county and it was to have been ; 1 expected that each succeeding year would have witnessed an increase in j this important crop. Cream stations have been organized in the county and a home-market \ J thereby created for dairy products > Many dollars were saved by the checking of hog cholera, which broke out in the county on two different ! occasions. Many specialists were brought to the county to make poultry, pruning, .-praying and other kinds of demon- \ .-trations to groups of farmers. A number of co**s wore tested for' tuberculosis through the efforts of the county agent and perhaps a number of individuals saved from the , ravages of this dread disease. The grading of vegetables and fruits has been encouraged, and this fall the first carload of apples was i shipped from the county. Markets have been found for scrub : cows and veal calves, which have enI ntilod (hp farmers to market the^e animals instead of keening them i a loss. The farmers have been aided on I several different occasions in pur: chasing fertilizer at a saving over | what they could purchase it as tndij viduals. Boys and girls clubs have hern or! ganized over the county which are i doing much to interest the young j! i people in scientific methods of ag- ' | riculture and allied arts. Two county fair? were organized ; | and held under the direction of the \ j county agent. While the last fair ! : : failed to make enough money to pay j ! *he premiums, still it brought togeth-:; | cr a fine array of farm and field j i j crops, horses and cattle, fruits and ] ; vegetables, canned goods and art j I ' work, lumber and other products, i [ which served many times over to ; draw attention to the possibilities of agriculture in the county and to stim- ; l ualte a healthy rivalry of farmers 11 and gardeners to improve the quality ! of their products. 1 The county agent is the head of ] I the farm activities of the county. He i has headed up all agricultural move- < ments. To dispense with this offi- 1 cial now, will, it seems to the Cher- t ; okee Scout, leave the farm organiza- < tions and activities at sea without a . i pilot. Farmers and business men and I others who have realized and do I realize that the county agent work < has meant and will mean to the coun- J ty should speak with the Commission. < ers about this right away and try to 1 persuade the board to reconsider J their action and continue this impor- I tant official. 3 As our natural resources are ex- t hausted, the county will have to de- 1 pend more and more on agriculture, which is already the most important \ single activity in the county. Surely I this work deserves a loader. t STATISTICAL DATA Y c An interesting little booklet of r statistical data concerning North c Carolina and h^r natural resource?' r has just hern issued by the State Geological Survey at Rnleirh and 1?. ^ ready for free distribution.

Jesus is at Jerusalem, probably at the east of Dedication. Hi? work at this time is exciting the hostility and prejudice o fthe religious leaders of his day. A survey of the facts of history will reveal that the work of a pure, brave spirit has always aroused anger and prejudice cn the part of Pharasaic leaders. And yet it takes just such a spirit to drive away the blindness of religious legalism and bring in the bright light of divine grace. The sight of the man was restored on the Sabbath day. This was sufficient to cause an official investiga tion. In this investigation there was no pretense of open-mindedness but rather with a determination to prove that Jesus was a lawbreaker. Had these men been as sensitive to the | spirit as they were to the letter of the law they probably would have dropped the matter without investigating at all. The first question that was raised in their minds was, "Who hat sinned, this man or his parents?" Of course | both the man and his parents had j sinned but his physical blindness. could in no way be attributed to | either his own or his parents sins, j Not satisfied they began a cross examination of the man. How did you receive your sight? asked the examiner. The answer was brief. He put clay upon mine eyes and I washed and do see. This answer brought some sharp debate among the members of the church bar. Seme contended that if ,Iii4iu vvjic n mnn frnm 1.1 not have dared to break the Sabbath, i ^ Others said that it is probably true but it also takes a man of God to perform as great a miracle as you have witnessed. Their perplexity lend to another question. It would be fine they thought to get the man tangled In ; his testimony and prove that he too was a Sabbath breaker. They fear- j ed the effect of the miracle would, have o r.the crowds hence they wish-! cd to bring the man into disrepute, in This answer was also brief. He re- h< plied by simply saying: "He is a prophet." Even the most bitter enemies of Christ would admit that no m less than a prophet could perform so >? notable a miracle. The man himself aj. may have had a faint notion that j Jesus was more than a prophet but . the danger that such a confession in- de volved would cause him to be prudent' to bo very cautions in one's' state- X> meats but especially so when the readers or listeners are of the Pharl-' saic type. as The examiner:- still refuse to be-j or licve and his parents are called. The | tr parents testify that the man is thei: son and that he was born blind but 1 sc to how -r whom his sight was re-j ye st-red they declare they know nothing. The young man is then questioned tr; and persuasion is brought to bear to gi make him testify that it was God and I not Christ. The man is true and says that he does not know but one thing H; and that i- "Once 1 was blind and j in now I see." The answer carries me back to sem-' up inary days. There was a man In one er of the classes who had trouble with all his text books. But when he would stand up to preach, faculty on ind student body were always stirred an by his direct and personal testimony W showing that the Lord had snatched him as a brand from the burning, or How much stronger it is to be able to do testify that one is a child of God be >r a sinner saved by grace than it Is to only be able to say one believes ;hat Jesus i? divine or that the creed th >f some church is believed to be correct. After some further disputing: with ;he man they cast him out. Yet tei they actually cast him out of the hurch. Isn't it just like a set of thi Pharisees to turn a man out of the hurch. Surely no one would say hat the church is the home of the rel saints. If it is most of them must on lave gotten out before I was born. Ko, the church is intended to he a su raining school for sinners while fo Heaven is the Saint's home. It is interesting to note that Jesus th< '.-anted mm. He found him too and ead him to a bright profession and Ec o a beautiful act of worship. As a ervant of God's I can state that I tave never turned one out of the cai hurch or had any share in it and if m< T.osd wanted thi? nmn whom tVhuruch wouldn't have far be it from "T re to ever do so. hai inf realth, forests, minerals, water pow- ? rs, state parks, reclamation of wamp and overflowed lands, and oth- 1 r interesting facts relating te the pa; ' A li t of publications relatir.;. ! : lunula 1. baJiwa v? ^ ^ ^jn r-j i ry "' ' HY, NORTH CAROLINA Some Day By Oscar Hunt.
