Early next morning business began .
to hum and workers began to arrive j
from diferent sections of the coun- j
try and by the end of thefirst week !
we had erected a cotton city of some |
60 or 65 tents in one of the most
beautiful forests that it seems poss- ;
ible to conceive of. The trees were- j
not ?o large or standing so thinckly, j
but were tall and symmetrical. They
furnished an idcul shade for some m
the hot days which followed.
The largest tent was 60x1)0 foot j
size, where the general meetings
were hied end was seated with fold-1
ing chairs. It had a platform at one
end where could be seated a choir of
twenty with ten ministers and an orchestra
of six or eight, with a piano.
The next largest tent was a 50x70
tent used for a cafeteria, where food
was served to all the campers who
desired to get their meals there. The
food was served on the European
plan, where you get what you want
and pay for only what you get. No
meats were served there hut they d;:l
serve many meat substitutes. The
next largest tent was a 50 foot circular
tent where the young people's
meetings were held. The next largest
tent was a 40 foot circular tent
where the children's meetings were

Then there were three tents about
24x40 which were used for a book
tent, a ministers* tent (where they
alept at night) and a Colporteur's
tent. These weer electrically lighted.
The two latter had sleeping cots
for eight persons each.
There were about 45 family tent?
12x14 and 15 army tents 10x16. All
were floored and nearly all of them
were filled with people. There were
about 250 campers on the ground.
The camp was rigidly policed, day I
and night.
The preaching was of the highest'
order. There were ministers there

Editor The Scout:
Y I ani 67 years old and I never had
'a key turned on me until in the aftterncon
of last August the 8th and 1
! must say that from that date until
the present time, December 22nd. I
have witnessed more heart rendering
scenes than in all of my previous life
put together: but thank the Grrat Giv
er, 1 have gone through it all, with
kindness shown me on every hand Inofficial*
and every one with whom 1
have come in contact. Even now 1
hear the groans of an old man just
| my age in a cell near me. I have
a cozy room and an area of about
two acres to move about in. Several
have been allowed the same privilege
but have had to be locked up again
for one cause or another.
Dear Editor, bear in mind that i
am in Ashcville jail seiving a sentence.
1 was sentenced to the ("her
okee County jail and assigned to th
Buncombe County toads hut haven't
struck a lick on the road inasmuch athe
good officials of Buncombe
County did not see fit to work me on
the road. I naturally fall back to the
Cherokee County jail, but I have just
gotten word that the good Commissiom
rs of Cherokee County have
agreed to take me back to Murphy to
finish my sentence. I understand
from the officials here that they are
expecting 65 cents per day for keip
ing me. So it will not increase the
expense of Cherokee County for nu
to go back to Murphy to finish
sentence.
Now, Pear Commissioners, I will be
glad if you will kindly arrange fo? J
me to go back to where I can see mj |
precious family occasionally, fr.. j
whom I was so unjustly banished.

"If Your Pain I* There,
What You Need IsaGood
Tonic For the Kidneys"
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
and the poisons from the blood.
Their signals of distress arc easily
recognized and include such symptoms
as lumbago, backache, depressions,
drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, i
dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need to be flushed
occasionally. The kidneys arc an
climinative organ and are constantly
working, separating the poisons
from the blood. Under this con
tinual and perpetual action they are
apt to congest, and then trouble i
starts. Uric acid backs up into the !
system, causing rheumatism, neural- !

OUR RESOLUTIONS
I{ By Willie K. Johnson.
While I am fully aware of the fact
that thd custom of making resolu
tions at New Year originated anr nt
the superstitious people I do not de
test the idea of resolving at this spe
; cial time to do something beneficia
uplifting.' noble and grand.
I wonder how many of u? have re
solved to make the year 1925 th*
busiest year of our life, have rtsolv
ed during this year to make the vtrj
best better.
> I am a young girl about nineteer
I year of age. and while I do not ob
jrct in the least to any rors n. young
: or old, reading what I hav? to say
f I am speaking particularly to' tin
I bovs and girl' of my own age. Know
r ing as I do that though we are boy
and girls today we'll be the men art
I women of tomorrow; and knowing
| also that the great responsibility oj
' carrying on the work of cur com
' munity, of our county, of our state
of our ration, is soon going to be shif
i t* d on our shoulders, I am Koing t;
i offer some resolutions that I thinl
would be profitable for each of us t<
make. Since our country would hnv<
gone to wreck and ruin were it noi
for the nien and women who hav;
rut their trust in the "Babe . f R?-th
lehcm" and have lived pure, clean
straight lives and since it will tak<
the same kind of people to make out
grand old nation thrive in the fui
ture, I am going to offer this ::s the
first resolution for those who know
not Christ to make:
J Resolve to seek Christ until you
find him and when y. u have found
, him to deny yourself, take up your
cross and follow him. And to thos?
; of us who profess to be Christians I
; would say: Live your religion at
