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

penalty If It Knew The Facts, for.a

>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,

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.

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

The farmers have garnered their

Mr. Eamy Brannon of this se-:ii<

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

can prow their feed at home, but who
is trying it? Fruit growing is a

and look at them. They need a
dozen farm agents, and yet it pays
as it is.
The Ginseng industry is a money

we have. Nothing is being done in
