?
With the close of the present *

in-advance subscription policy.'. *
That is the only businesslike way *
to conduct the circulation de- *

It is best for the publisher and *
best for the subscriber. The *
publisher, in that way, loses notli- *
* ing from the dead-beat, or the 51

* dresses. The subscriber always *
* knows where he stands with- the *

* The circulation of the Journal *
* has grown to such an extent that1, *
* we cannot ufiord to send copies'**
* of the paper to any except such *

* The policy that we will pursue *
* is to give the subscriber two *

? o ''
Cullowhcc, Aug. 23. ? Cullowhcc is
taking on' new life and the com
munity has an air of the hustling,
going, moving spirit under the com
? %
i-manding < leadership of the new pres
ident of the Cullowhcc Normal and
Industrial School, Prof. H.T. Hunter.
Just enough time has parsed for him
and t(lic rest , to gtflf into working or
dd;r, since his lirsi coming. To see
him in his',' office or all about over
the campus, is to see the man of ac
tion, the man who wills that things
shall be done, and gets them done. A
man of vision is Mr. Hunter, but
with all a very practical man. He
sees many needs and wants them all,
craves that all good things shall come
to Cullowhcc; but he counts the cost,
not slowly, but quickly, and if such
needs may be had, lie with a loyal
board will see that they are had.
Many things ? are ' being added to
the )fcjiree plants that were planned
before Afr. Huntpr came namely the
modern fireproof, Walter E. Moore
dormitory!,. *a ? twelve-room model
school building, and a central heat
ing plant. Some of the things that
have come in within the past fey
dir^S) are Cltickcring Grand Piano
1W" the Moore Building and opera
chairs for the Practice School Build
ing Auditorium.' Work is being done
making ready the President's homo,
renovation -pa in ting the rooms of the
Davis' Home, which will be a boys'
dormitory this year.

Real Danger Threat
ens Our Homeland
An Insidious And Merciless Foe Is Approeliin^
A foe, insidious and merciless, is
steadily advancing <on Western North
Carolina, leaving ruin and destruction
in his wake. The greatest menace to
/
the prosperity and beauty of our
matchless region is approaching.
There is real danger just ahead of
us, and only the most careful and
patriotic effprts of all our people
can save a large part of our region
from becoming a barron wilderness,
and many of our industrial enter
prises from closing down and leaving
our people out of employment.
This sounds like a woeful picture,
but it* was made so for the puri)osc
of arousing- the people of Jackson
county," as well as the whole of the
chestnut region of Western North
Carolina to the catastrophe that is
just ahead of us.
A few ' years ago there were
brought to Central Park, in New
York City, a few Japanese chestnut
trees, which, without the knowledge
of the park authorities, were affected
with chestnut blight, a tree disease
hither to unknown in America. ^ And
thus, through carelessness, . was
brought to this couitfry a foe that
threatens us with real and appalling
danger.
From Central Park the disease
spread until it has completely an
nihilated the chestnut timber through
out New England, and a large part
of Pennsylvania, New York, Mary
land, and West Virginia, and is
gradually encroaching upon North
Carolina, having recently made its
appearance near Old Fort. As the
wind blows from South to North in
the path of the chestnut Might, it
was at first thought that; itj#ould tfot
retw&ffrirth C^tokm^^jM^sidc flow
"rfe: dast-spores,
the disease is spread by birds, and
is thus likely to break out in iso
lated places,, as was the case near
Old Fort, at most anytime.
It is thought that the lmjnce can I
be averted by concerted action of the
especially of the foresters, and
peoplo who live in the country, who
sare warned to be on the look-out for
thc blight, and immediately take
st<?p* to stamp it out, by cutting in
fected trees and burning them.
Only 4>y enlisting the aid of the
people can this real menancc to the
happiness of our people, and to the
beautiful handiwork of the Creator,
.be averted.
The Champion Fiber Company is
leading in organizing the timber and
acid wood interests of this region in
a fight to combat the disease, and
has sent out letters to the. Armour
Leather Company, at Chicago, Sylva
Tanning C unpany, Sylva, Union Tan
ning Compnny, Old Fort, Blackwood
Lumber Co: ipanv, East La Porte, W.
M. Hitter and Company, Columbus,
0., International Shoe Company,
Moiganton, Gennett LumbcrCoinpanv
Ashcville, and other industrial en
terprises that are most vitally inter
ested, calling for a meeting to or
ganize the forces to wage the battle.
It can be .seen at a glance the real
danger that confronts this region,
and in Jackson county, Where per
haps is If ft the greatrac acreage of
chestnut timber in the wprld, we arc
particularly and vitally concerned.
With proper lumbering methods the
chestnut timber in this country will
be an everlasting source of revenue
and beauty, if we can keep the blight
from upsetting all calculate i:s that
have been made for the fuOc de
velopment of Jackson County. Tips
disease is a menace that threat, ns
every activity of our people.
Every man and woman in this re
gion is vitally concerned. And this
paper calls upon all the people to
keep 011 the watch for the blight, re
port it, and cut the trees that be
come affected.
The next general assembly will be
asked to enact legislation allowing
an affected tree to be cut on any
body's land, anytime, anywhere, and
to pass other legislation to assist ir.
the fight. Tt present we can'
only depend upon the good-sense of
the people, who, if aroused to the
danger to their home-land, will turn
tlie trick.
The following letter from Mr. E. L.
McKce, president of the Sylva Tan
ning Company, on the subject is il
luminating, and of great interest.
Me. 2)&a looijBkina, , , ^
Jackson County Journal,
Svlva, X. C.
Dear Dan: ? T nm sending yon a
clipping from the Citizen and a lcttcT
from Mr. Damtoft of tjjc Champion
Fiber Company on tlio threatened
destruction of our chestnut forests.
I have the honor of being one of the
committee to awaken the people so
that some action may be taken to
avert the destruction of 75 per cent
of our forest area ofWestern North
Carolina, turning this county into
a wilderness. >
I have known of this thjeateaned
danger for a lon^ while but I have
really become alarmed at the near
approach of this terrible menace to
our timber, our lands and our water
power.
\I will furnish you some bulletins as
soon as they are received from the
government and other propaganda.
1 would be very glad if you would
inform yourself and through the
columns of your paper ask the ]>eopic
to watch out and report any siirn
of this dreadful pest.
When the trees are once killed tho
sprouts that spring up afterwards are
killed about the second year. It*
some action is not taken by the go\
ei > ir state and our people
oui foicsts are ffoing to be destroy
ed. The spread of this disease is
traveling from 3 to 5 years ahead of
government forecasts.
Your very truly,
E. U McKEE.
