SYLVA NEEDS A NEW HOTEL. Aint Sylva the buildiiiist town? Many sniekers are caused by the knickers. WestworJWIo, theorem! of politics takes its way . The bitter-enders have a superabundance of gall. ? ? ? Mt. Etna lias backed Hi. Johnson clear off the front pages. " ? j . i ... i Ijook pleasant; Easy street i::py be only three smiles ahead.

It is said that some of the modern girls are afraid of neither mice nor men. ? ^ N Xo matter what other relief "politicians may promise, they greatly tax our patience. By the way, it lias occurred to us that among other things, Sylva needs a new hotel. ^ Ah, at last it is done. A headline states: " Mellon Solves Liquor Problem For Mr. Harding." ? ? A gentlemen will always respect the rights of others; hence trallic laws were passed against other l'olks. Ashevillo is certainly one honored city. The dancing masters of America are to meet there, next month. ( )'\ A word tf> the wise. ? One of Rowan county's Buildihg ami Lean A.--o< iation has built 1000 homes in Salis hury. ? : A Danville man named Fret well has been arrested ok a charge of making a:i assault upon his wife. Make your own pun. ' - t Cam .Morrison isn't always that way; for instance he now cA lis the corporation commission "Cronies of the railroads." We have been looking diligently for that far-famed "Everett Boost For (iovernor", but have been unable to locate it in these parts. . > The world must he mowing better: Baxter Shemwell is at last really on the chaiii-^:uig, supposedly making little 'uns out of biy 'uns.

As the years and . months come and ur> the number will increase, month by month. It is a safe and sure investment, a patriotic in vestment, an investment in good-citi:'.enship. G.:t in on the third series, which opens July First. JOHN* (i. 01 1 A NT P f: The death, I ast week, of .Tohii G. Grant, of Henderson, removed one of -the most picturesque ligttres that (has ap peared in Western North Carolina politics in may years. We could never agree, jh?I i t ica Uy, with Mr. Grant. but everybody was forcer to admire his sterling qualities of rugged manhood, and all Western North Carolina is made sad by his passing on. i .1 ? ? ? THAT CANTON SMELL . - ? fr \ . -X '** ? The odor from the Champion Fibre Company's plant at Canton is very offensive to the uneducated ol factory nerve o! most }>eop!c, and this odor penetrates for miles around the progressive little town. Unfortunately this bi'd-smelling territory lies along the r ?> o i*outc ol travel of tourists who would come to the west ern end of the state. , . \ V Irankly admit that the Champion Fibre Company ?'** v> more to Western North Carolina thatnianv reg iments of iMirists, but we need both, and if it is possible to keep thill awlul smell out ol the pure air of , Hay Wood s mountains, it should, by all means, be done* IN WHAT DISTRICT DO YOU LIVE T It 's a bad tale to tell on school teachersybut ths Greens, boro Daily News carries a story about the teachers at tending the Trinity College Summer School, that isn't very complimentary to their knowledge of every-dav things, or of North Carolina geography. There was an entertainment given for the student teachcrs in that summer school, a few days ago, and in order to avoid confusion, the seating was arranged by congressional districts. This added confusion, for behold, no matter what the ordinal^ person would naturally j think, many of the school teachers didn't know in what congressional district they live, and confusion reigned, I while maps were sought, and teachers poured over them, in efforts to locate their home counties and congressional districts. i Evidently the people who made the seating arrange ments were guilty of over-estimating the knowledge of I the public school teacher, as she is. RESPECT AND OBEY THE LAW One of the greatest menaces that the life and limb of the law-abiding citizen must guard against is the reckless heedless, careless automobile driver. Next in order of menaces is the inexperienced driver, the driver who has not developed sufficient mental poise, or the driver who from youth, disease or weakness is physically incapable of managing an automobile. To safe-guard the public from such people, the General Assembly has enacted rules of the road into traffic laws. Most people have enough regard for constituted authori ty, for their neighbors, and for themselves to obey the.^ laws. Those who have not must be made to feel the strong arm of the law. Hell-raising on the Highways must I end. A drunken or a heedless person, running amuck upon the crowded streets and highways, whether he be driving a 1907 model Ford or the highest-priced car of the latent model, is a menace to himself and to the people in gener I al. He is guilty of criminal carelessness at least, and of intent to kill at most, unless he actually dttes kill, in which case he becomes guilty of man-slaugter if not of I murder in the second degree. For do not his very actions I imply what is known in law as general malice f j \ -Stop him, officers of the law, before he breaks some I body's else neck besides his own. LAKE GASOWAY. I (-"? ' There is again a great agitation in some quarters for I the construction of a great lake, (named Lake Gasowav by The Journal several years ago) covering the French I Broad valley from Asheville to Brevard. This is a matter that should^have very careful consid eration before definite action is taken, if ever.The present valley, or rather the valley as it is at present, that Lake Gasoway would cover with water, comprises much of the I finest agricultural land in all Western North Carolina. I This paper is convinced that, if it is proposed to build the lake purely as a tourist proposition, the land in its present status is of vastly more value to this region than the big lake would be. And we have grave doubt whether, considering the entire region as a whole, it would be wise to construct it as a power development, coupled with the tourist play ground idea, because there are so many streams capable of furnishing all the hydro-electric power that the region will need for several decades. They are avaliable, and theiij utilization would not mean the inundation of so large an acreage of valuable farming land. We fear that thq^agricultural interests of the region are often over looked by those who would develop this mountain country * A NEGLECTED ASSET What once was and, with the coming of the good roads, could be made still more a valuable asset to this county, and the other counties of North Carolina west of the Balsam, is the fishing industry, or sport. Proper safe-guards should be thrown around the re moving of fish from the streams, and ?very stream in these mountains should be stocked, restocked, and stock, ed again, some with bass, some with California trout, and still others with the king of sporting fi?h, our native mountain trout. The only way to do this successfully, and to" develop this valuable asset to its greatest possibility, is to estab lish one or more fish-hatcheries on the Tuckaseicee, in Jackson county, thereby making convenieitly available n lai'-e supply of fish, anil repeatedly stock the streams of Miis immediate region, including Jackson. Swain, Ma con, Graham, Clay anu Cherokee, as w>!. as Haywood. jIk- state fish commission has th* authority ;ujd the appropriation to care for the needs of this young and valuable asset, and the hatcheries should be forthcom ing as soon as is possible, and the Tuckaseigec is the proper site for some of them. - _ ?
