I ' North Carolina, as ::d clavs mail 'J matter under act of Mar. 3. 1ST?. 1 1 CORRECTING AN ERRONEOUS ; IMPRESSION In another column f this week's Scout will be found a letter from a member of the Board of Health rel- 11 ntivo to the folowing item which appeared las: week in our Marble correspondent's communication: The County Board of Health have enacted anothe: "confine dog law." To pa?? these laws and not enforce them cause:- the < folk? to lc.se respect for the c Board of Health?that is. if they i had any respect left after the 1 ludicrous failure to even attempt to enforce the f< rmer law. j Nobody paid any attention to t that order; nobody will pay any attention to this?is this scribe's 1 iy opinion. Whether or r.ot our Marble scribe had ever given the though serious consideration, the impression left upon the reader?which impression appears to be rather in vogue ? v. t er the county-is that, since the Board of Health enacted the law. it is its du- ( ty to enforce the terms thereof. This impression is erroneous. The enactment of all laws of our great commonwealth ar.d these United States is constituted in what is k :own ^ as the Legislative Department, and the enforcement of the laws enacted is constituted in what is known as the Executive Department. The Board cf Health is given the authority to enact the law. but is not vested with the auth city of enforcing them. This duty rest upothe Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, marshalls, policemen, and in the final analysis. upon each and every individual, law abiding citizen. AN APOLOGY TO THE HONORABLE SUPERIOR COURT Last week the Scout ca r: d an I article signed "A Citizen" written.byj Mr. W. L. Garren relative t ? the disposition of the Dave Bryant ea?^ in the local Superi< r C ;urt. Siturday morning members of the local bar informed the editor that he wn subject to he cited for contempt of court, for publishi-g saVne. When . ?. the article came i: we glav.ced over * it with no Thought that it would be; a contempt of court, ard told them we had no intention of reflecting on the court or any one connected with it. Believing also that Mr. Garren did' not intend to reflect on the Honora-j bel court, we wrote him about tho| matter. He had already written Thei Scout relative to an error made in | writing the article, and when l\e re-J ceived our communication he wrote; us again. Both letters are given be.! low, and apology is hereby made to the Honorable Court. His Honor Judge T. D. Bryson. Solicitor Davis. ; and others connected with its deliberations. Mr. Garren"s reply follows: Culberson, N. C. Rt.2. Noveher 25, 1025. Mr. C. W. Bailey, Murphy. N. C. My Dear Mr. Bailey: * ^ I received your letter yesterday ; relative to the letter about Bryant's, ] en a* in Inst week's Remit. I reoret v very much that an error has beenjt committed that has caused such a:] i furore. I did not receive my paperj r till Monday and saw there was an error in it. and so mailed you a "letter from Copperhill, yesterday, which 1 ^ I hope will make thine? plain How- fa ever I wish to emphasize the fact r that I did not have the first thought ? of reflecting on the Honorable court tl What I intended to say was that I weuld be surprised if any court would turn one loose with so small * i ? I > penalty If It Knew The Facts, for.a j heinous a crime. I do not know n >hy this phrase was overlooked E or it was intended. , $, I thiink you for calling my at- r: ention to the matter and if any ac-'fc ion is taken please let me know at nee. as I am greatly troubled that should have made so great a lunder which has involved us both. Very sincerely yours, W. L. GARRF.N The letter referred to and sent h rom Copperhill the day before foljws : Editor The Scout: I notice in last eeks Scout in a letter that I said rat I was "surprised to think any . _Tt v.i Id have 'justice' associat- ; ? with its name and turn or.e loose ith so smail \ penalty for so hein-| u a crime." What I meant to say! . . . that the crime was great and I ottld not think the facts had been i roperly placet! before it. in this 1 ase. at least :f it hat! then Mr. I rIryar.t could net have gotten off j it hi s- smell a penalty. I ce:tainlyi } r ot wish to reflect on our hon-i" rable court in the least. For the urden does not re^t there, that he In o.ived so small a penalty, but somehere between my community and r he hcnorable court. I certainly will | ave to share a part of the blame my- j elf. being a citize.i here and know-1 v ninny of the circumstances ~ur ounding the case and not prossnting nyself there to help the court get t ho facts. I tru<t you will give this letter pace in your payer so a- to c.r ect r r.y inn re -ion that may have apeared in last weeks that 1 meant to eflect on the Honorable court of herokee County. I offer for proof ; f the above statement a sentence n the latter part of the a tide recr. < 1 to which says, "I am sure t hat there i.> not a person i 1 this \ ::oat commonwealth, who knowing ? he facts connected with this case vould i ay let him go free, or thai :c had gotten justice." Sincerely Yours. A CITIZEN r ''tor Scout: The more I think of abolishing he farm agent and selling the fair grounds the more enthusiastic I be- j > me n the lines of economy of our . unty Commissioners. t .lus: think what an enormous savrr: and the money we can raise by citing id of expenses and selling ^ public property. By abolishing Hie farm agent we avc one third of his salaty and car J ell the fair grounds. By abolish' g the Welfare work we :an sell a Ford. By abolishing the county and superior court we can save enormous sums; and there is the sheriff's office and register of deeds, each of which i drawing a salary and by abolishing these, too, we enn sell the court house and jail. By abolishing the school trustees we can sell the school property in the county. Then let's abolish the county commission an 1 frame their picture's. A CITIZEN. RE "CONFINE DOC LAW" Editoi Scout, Dear Sir: I notice in the last week's issue i your paper that your oorresponient from Marble seems to have very respect f. 1 the County Board of Health, because it failed to enforce certain laws it had passed, towit. "Confine Dog Laws". If it is the duty of County Board of Health to pass laws, and then turn -..id enforce them, your coirespon-! dent is justifiable in what he says, perhaps. But I do not understand !'at the Legislative Department of ^ Government is also the Excutive Department, but that they are wide- , 'y reparate and distinct. Who ever , heard of a member of the State , Legislature going out to enforce the j | laws he helped to make? The County Board of Health was ( rented by the General Assembly, , nd clothed with certain limited , agislativc piwer??the power to j j nake euch laws as might be neces- j ary for the protection of the public!, 'calth. Only?but with no authority U vnniever mr mtr i-uiui truiciu ui ; | hose laws. The enforcement cf all f aw devolves upon the civil officers. a tacked by a strong sentiment from ? he citizenship of a community, the f ast condition being the most im- t >ortant. perhaps. j It doesn't make very much differ- t nee how much respect the people s lave for the County Board of Health ^ mt ft miikes a vast difference w'ne- r her they respect its laws, as well a? r 11 other laws, that are written for a he guidance and protection of the t eonle. Obedience .is better than h nforcement. f This Kcs been written to <mrrect I THE CHEROKEE 5<X ny impression that may have been if lade to the effect that the County loard of Health is any more respon ible for the enforcement of its rules han any other citizen of the county L MEMBER BOARD OF HEALTH UPPER BEAVERDAM ! Mr. Jack frost and winter weather j ;as come to our country again. 1 The farmers have garnered their o!n crop and have found a larger; rop than was expected.

Forest fires have not showed u; ct in this section, the Tellico moun. r.i-s r.re covered with a carpet of paves, we may lock out as soon a* hey get dry. Mr. Cage Lovin, Dr. Crawford? oad foreman passed through to: ection Saturday. Thanksgiving will sron be here and he turkeys will live hard. Mr. Eamy Brannon of this se-:ii< ork a wagon load of turkeys to *r.arret Friday, and said they were curent products. Tie hauling has the lead with onmsters in this section. Roads sire getting bad for this sec- j :i. If the road authorities would I *-o-.d a little money rocking and traveling the places as they appeal t would save a big job later on. end . < uld enable the rural districts to ret to market with a paying load. Blotting the roads get full of bad holes t costs the farmers lots of money geting to maiket, breaking down wagins and ears. The graded road work is moving aong nicely in this section, ?.we hope his rocd will soon he open to traffic ind shorten the route from this Counly to Tennessee, and other place ivc J. of us. I fear we will not have money to put all these road project? over. There ought to be some w. y Revised tc connect these roads up. I" it takes moie bonds, let them come. It is said that this state is road crazy: if so I want them to stay crazy til wo e* all our roads finished. Our investment is lost if we stop now. Well, the annual experimenting I with farm demonstrators is < n again. j I wonder when our people will get I their eyes open to scientific methods of farming. If folks would lay down | prejudice and tomfoolery and go to I : irg the farm airent they would begin to see what he was worth to them j A few years ago hog cholera broke ! out in this section and killed about all the hogs. I was away from home at the time and when I get home, found some of my hogs sick. I called the farm agent and vaccinated my herd. It cost about SI5.00 hut 1 saved S200.00 worth of hogs which 1 would have lost had there not been a demonstrator in reach. Last Spring black -leg developed in this section and the farmers got together and had our demonstrator to vaccinate about 100 head of cattle which save 1 for them at least $1000.00 worth of stock. This one trip to these farmers more than payed for all he cost this County this year. If the County agent is not worth anything to you, it is because you dont try to use him. No one is so blind ts the one that wont see. Our State experiment stations. agricultural schools and colleges, are a failure if ve dont get their experimental knowedge to the folks who make their livng on the farm. Farmers must keen i puce witn ine time? if we succeed. Co wonder our farm boys are leaving he country and going to town. We farmers are 25 years behind the times is to scientific methods of farming. >orr? folks think because our grardathers made good with the old bullcngu^plow we can. but the world has :assed on and left them in their ime and age. The farmers that ucceed now must do things right and lo it now. and let 4 nethods stay with their day. I am naking mere grain and grass on 70 icres of my fathers old home place, han he made on all his 600 acres of and. Farming is a great study if we arm successfully.

Chickens and ?pps would be a paying industry. \\ e can prow their feed at home, but who is trying it? Fruit growing is a -access, but go through the orchards and look at them.
