I NO. 7 FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION JBIG SUCCESS EXCELLENT ADDRESS BY SANFORD. CAMP JACKSON WINS I, SYLVA 1 The celebration of the Fourth of July by the Sylva folks and Camp T t 1 jacKson, was a nuge success m every particular. One of the largest crowds ever at the Fair Grounds was in attendance. Mr. Jordan H. Sanford managing director of Camp Jackson, the ora tor of the day, was presented to the audience by Mr. T. C. Bryson, in a snort and enthusiastic talk. After expressing his pleasure with the surroundings and his appreciation of the acts of kindness and hospi tality which have been extended to him and his institution since coming to Sylva, Mr. Sanford de livered a masterful address appro priate to the occasion, taking as his main theme, Thomas. Jefferson and his impress on American In stitutions and upon the life of the world. The ladies of Sjlva and commun ity served a most bountiful dinner. At the beginning it looked as if first game would be a close and well played one, the only score in the first two innings being by rea son of a home run over the center I field by the big third baseman of Camp Jackson; but in the third a costly error "by ""snort-stop Bxyson brought in two men and the sacri fice started, the final score being 8 to 0 in favor of the Georgia boys The second game was well-played on both sides and with the ex ception of some ..wrangling over a couple of decisions by umpire Hoff man, was the prettiest game ever seen on the local diamond, Sylva captured this game by 4 to 2. The Camp Jackson aggregation plays good, ball. The batting is excellent and the third baseman is exceptionally strong in his position and with the timber.

WILL THE LIGHTS BE WHITE? BY CY WARMAN The author, poet and railroad man who died in Chicago ' recently. He was the author of many stories and poems dealing with railroad life. Oft, when I feel my engine swerve, As o're strange rails we fare, I strain my eves around the curve For what awaits us there. When swift and free she carries me Through yards unknown at night, I look ilong the line to see That all the .lamps are white. . The blue light marks the crippled car, The green light signals slow; The red light is a danger light The white light, "Let her go." Again, the open fields we roam. And when the night is fair, I look up in the starry dome, And wonder what's up there. For who can speak for those who dwell Behind the curving sky? No man has ever lived to tell Just what it means to die. Swift toward life's terminal I trend The run seems short to-night; God only knows what's at the end I hope the lamps are white, Jefferson Henson arrived Wed nesday from Washington and will spend a short while with his mother at Beta.

The pre Umihvtrialili tafee piece to iriorrb wb (tybefore Justice of the Peace R. J. HouseObserver WE HAVE THE GOODS. The people of North Carolina need at no time feel any hesitation in inviting and in urging people of other sections to make this state their home, for it is a state that is rich in the greatest opportunities. This is the testimony of the peo ple who have come to us from other sections. It does not take the , declaration of the native of this state to point out its advantages over other states, but wherever there is found a man who has come from beyond our borders to make a home here and to take part as a factor in progress there will be found an advertiser for North Carolina. We hive the soil, we have the climate, we have the resources, we have all there is to make this the the greatest state in the union with one exception. W e have not enough people. What we need is a campaign for a greater population, and in this campaign a great asset will be the report made of us by those who have moved in as one of us. Every man in North Caro lina should do his part in inducing other people to become citizens here and the state itself shoud press forward in a campaign to bring in new people. We have the oods in North Carolina. All that wi have to do is to show them prop erly. And then for a greater North Carolina. Raleigh News and Ob server.
