Home Management Of Fair Is Discussed Another Cherokee County Fair bu come end gone end once more ere here that midway hang-over-that ever growing complaint about the type of shows that are allowed to "set down" here. This year the complaint against large sums of money being lost at the g*ne tables is not as loud as it has been in the past. But there is much dissatisfaction expressed every day about the quality of the In all thto discussion an idea has sprung up that has many points in its favor. On many sides, the plan to have clubs in the county take over entertainment of the fair crowds has been mentioned. The scheme is to have civic and service clubs in Murphy and Andrews invest money in rides for the children, build stands for re freshments and bingo. In other words, make the county fair strictly a county affair. . To fill out the program, folk dancing teams, square dances and other forms of entertainment such as competitive events would have to be included. The plan is good and would mean a great deal to the county if it oan be carried out. But the amount of work involved in such a scheme is mountainous and every club in the town would have to believe in the Idea 100 per cent before it could be carried out. Also, the money invested by the clubs would be rather large, but it could be earned back in at least two seasons if the fair was backed by every member of every club. It'is something to be considered and discussed by all clubs. One thing is certain, if such a plan is decided on, work on the fair would have to start early.

State Fair, will start a new century of service as | as an educational and inspirational institution when the 1953 exposit j ion is held in Raleigh October 20-24. Robert W. Shoffner. assistant director of the State College Agri cultural Extension Service who serves as No. 1 aide to Dr. J. S. Dorton, State Fair manager, says the goal this year is to have "all 100 counties of the State represen ted with educational exhibits on the 100th anniversary of the State Fair." He predicts the goal will be reached through stimulated effort on the part of the county farm and home agents and other agricultural leaders. "Last year," said Shoffner, "we had 1,169 individuals and group ex hibitors from 85 counties. Of the 15 'missing counties' eight had ex hibits in the 1951 Fair. This means that only seven of North Carolina's 100 counties have not been repres ented during the past two years. These are: Dare, McDowell, Pam lico, Polk, Richmond, Transylva nia and Warfiington." The Extension administrator and fair leader said copies of the 1953 State Fair catalog and premium list have been distributed to all previous exhibitors and to other agricultural leaders. He urged that other prospective exhibitors write immediately to the Manager. State Fair, P. O. Box 1388, Raleigh for their free copy of the publication. The first State Fair was held In Raleigh October 18-21, 1853 under the sponsorship of tpe old N. C. Agricultural Society. The site was a 16-acre tract now familiar to travelers on U. S. Highway 64-E through ? historical marker on Raleigh's New Bern Avenue, 10 blocks east of the Capitol. The Fair has been a divistoA of the N. C. Department of Agricul ture since 1937 and the present fairgrounds cover 288 acre* along U. S. Highway No. 1, five miles west of the State Capitol. During July and August 1953, the Tobacco Stabilisation Corporat ion delivered 2,425 checks repres enting $35,000 to members from the 1948-40 crop. North Carolina lee Letters To Editor The Editor Local Newspaper Murphy, North Carolina Dear Sir: The Chamber of Commerce of Calhoun, Georgia, is seeking to re store the ancient Cherokee capital of New Echota, and maintain it as a historic shrine As some of your readers may know, the she is pre sently marked with a single granite shall?a most inadequate marker for such an important location. It is our fee king that a restored New Ecbota would be a fitting and con stant reminder of the glory of the old Cherokee Nation here in the Southern Appalachians, a memorial to the remarkable progress of a famous Indian tribe. Could any of your readers help us in pnning down the exact locat ion and description of New Echota? We would deeply appreciate any assistance. Perhaps some one will recall seeing somewhere a conte mporary discussion of this Indian capital. We have already, of course consulted such well-known sources as the Cherokee Law Books, the "Benjamin Gold Letter", and the Georgia Surveyor's Records, and feel that we have narrowed down the capital's location rather clos ely. But we are anxious to obtain any additional material or infor mation which will help us. capital's location rather closly.

TEEN-AGE CHATTER The latest fashion note with school girls are white Suede Shoes they sure are pretty, but first hand information from the gals tells me that they are hard to keep white. Famous Last Words of the Teen Age Crowd are "DONT KNOW DO YOU?" I was setting in the local Drug Store the other day and all the booths were just filled with the local school gang, and I could only hear parts of the conservation but here are some words that must str ictly be only far the school gang as I do not know what they mean or how you are suppose to use them: "ICHABOD" "BURPY" "LIGH NTING and MEASLES'" "TUBBY" BUSH. PUPPY SHORTIE, HORSE and "THE 6-4 S"' .Maybe some of the school gang will put me wise to all those words or sayings MAXINE T sure is grinning a lot these days since a certain boy is home from service.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE Support the State Wide Bond Issue Saturday, October 3, and you will make K poesibe to tax wealth, unleaa aid K provided from mm other source than from the county It wfll be erect the buildings that ere ttee In North Carolina in par ceptia needed In thb county. The eetimet ed $179,000 chat the county would receive out of the first $35,000,000 would not even build ell the build ings needed In either the County or Murphy or Andrews City Units. While we do not know the am ount to be received out of the last $25,000,000 which Is to be dMtrlb-1 uted on a basis of need and ability to pay, a good strong vote from in terested citizens in this county would certainly give support in securing a liberal dure of the last $25,000 000. Bearing in mind that1 this will ell be made available without additional increase in tax es In counties or state. At present Cherokee County re ceives from the State almost three times as much back from the State as we pay in all taxes to the State. iMay I urge all friends and- In terested parents to go to the polls Saturday, October 3, and cast your vote for the State Wide Bond Issue!

ONE (mall note, from on* Chris tian gentleman to another, was aav?gj and a copy of it In cluded in the collection of letters and stories that became our New Testament The writer, gentleman though be was, wrote from a Jail in the capital city; the addressee had never seen the writer, though he must have heard of him. The letter was not mailed, but carried by hand, by i (lave named Oneslmus, which meam '* "Useful" or "Valuable." It did not seem the right name for this slave, because he bad run away from his master and thought he could bide in the great city. Some- Dr. how or other he got into Jail, and had met a more famous prisoner Paul. Through Paul's influence (he never thought any one be neath his notice) this Onesimus had become a Christian, and Paul had persuaded him to go back where he belonged, taking to his master Philemon the little note that bears his name. How Reform Comes This little letter, showing Paul at his charming best, suggests thought along three lines. One Is the way Christianity comes to transform society. Christian re llgion, given it* freedom, will do more than transform individu als; it will change society. When Paul wrote this letter, slavery was taken for granted every where. Some of Paul's best friends were slave owners as Philemon was. Paul had no in tention of encouraging Onesimus to stay in Rome. Indeed it would seem he had challenged the slave to prove that his conversion was genuine, by going back and giving himself up. That was (say) around 61" A.D. Nowadays in our Amer ica slavery is a thing of the past, so f?? a? la"* aod erJ'Chtened pub lic opinion are concerned. Chris tians north and south are glad it is gone. Philemon, or rather the ideas in the letter to Philemon, sowed the seed that resulted in the vanishing of slavery. There we learn that all Christians are broth ers; that even a slave (this would have been news to many Romans and Greeks) was a human soul with human responsibilities and rights. Not even a slave is or can be a thing. Once that idea took hold of people, slavery was done for. It can flourish today only in lands like Russia where Christian religion has been crushed. ? ? ? Christ and the Individual Though Christ converts society more slowly than individuals, he converts society through convert ed individuals. The letter to Phile mon shows what happens to one man, now, when Christ takes hold of him. Before his conversion, Onesimus had been a thief, a fu gitive from duty. Afterwards, he' was willing to go back, make good his theft, and take what was com ing to him. Paul pleads that he may be taken back no longer just as a slave, but as a brother-Chris tian; but Onesimus did not know, of course, whether Philemon would take this advice. But he was will ing to take his chance. A pagan owner and a pagan slave made a bad combination. A Christian own er and a pagan slave, or the other way around, would not be a good combination. But when they were both brother-Christians the whole relationship would be different. Once Christianise master and slave, and the end of slavery was in sight. What Christian Brotherhood Is People talk of the brotherhood of man; but the brotherhood of Christian* is a higher brother hood. indeed the highest possible. Christians recognize in one an other not simply that they are all human, which Is true enough, but that they are all Christ's brothers, they accept God for their Father?which goes much deeper than singing about him. Accepting the brotherhood of man. one can look at any man anywhere and think: He too is a man as I am; we belong to one race. But accepting the brother hood of Christ, one can look at any Christian anywhere and think: He too is a man for whom Christ died as he died for me; we belong to ope family. How deeply this enters into the heart only Christians who have begun to realize this kind of brother hood can know. la tk? U. g. A. *7 C?? PriM SerTlea.)
