Our weather is cool for the season, the inereury hanging around the frost point for several mornings lately, but we have nothing to complain of in comparison with the wind and flood stricken west and northwest. Mrs. Richards of EHzabcth, N. J., who has been spending some time with her daughter, Mrs. R. L. Madi son, left Monday for her home. A special train, Engineer Ilimt and Conductor Kell.y going wt'st yester day morning:, jumped the track near Bryson City, the engine turning over and blowing up, billing Engineer Hunt instantly, while the fireman escaped with only slight injuries. Engineer Hunt was a young man, married to a yonng lady of Morgan ton within the last year, thus in vesting his tragic death with more than ordinary sadneBs. Dr. Wo'ff's fine mnre "Molly,' well known nearly all over this county, being ridden by Mr. T. C.

Many Candidates In Race For Nomination Saturday AN Demodrats are urged 'to attendi the primary election, on Saturday, at which the State and county tickets' for the general election \yill bo cho sen by direct "vote of th people.. Un der the law, and the Democratic plan of organifntioij, every Democrat# has a voice in choosing the eandi dat?8 of his party. The State contest is waxing warm, with J. C. R Ehringftihus, Lieut. - Governor R-. T. Fountain, and .Tax Commissioner A. J. Maxwell con testing for the gubernatorial nom ination. Att Hhree ? emrtttdHtBs* ~vn claiming the lead in the voting; but poiitical writers generally concede Fhrin.rhaus the <?dtre. and believe that the tide hao been swinging toward him for the past couple of weeks. Most of the newspapers believe, how ever, that a second primary will be neccssary in the gubernatorial con test. For the short term Senatorial rare, Senator Cameron Morrison, Robert R. Reynolds, Frank Grist, annd Tam Bowie are waging a contest. The peo ple will have an opportunity to vote twice in the senatorial race, as both long term and .short tettr candidates are to be chosen. For the long term Senator Morrison is opposed by Reynolds, Bowie, Grist and Arthur Simmons. The Morrison forces, ac cording to the,informed writers, both in Raleigh and Washington, have In come uneasy during the past few day.: and have been looking with trepida tion upon the large crowds that haw been coming out to hear Bob Reynold? The probability is that here, too, wi 1 be a second primary. Little attention has been paid, ex cept by t lie candidates, themselves, to the race for lieutenant governor, which is between D. F. Giles, David P. Dellinger, and A. H. (Sandy) Graham. Folks in Jackson and the adjoin ing counties have been watching closely the contest for the nomination for commissioner of labor, a$. John D.

There is a powerful stir from one end of North Carolina to the other over the gubernatorial and senatorial contests, and almost as large a pri mary vote is expected as that of two years ago when Senator Simmons and Josiali W. Bailey joined battle. The county contests, while being waged in a friendly manner, arc attracting much attention among the voters. For Representative, Prof. Robert L. Madison, founder of West ern Carolina Teachers College, and pioneer educator, and Dan Tompkins, publisher of The Jackson County Journal, are the candidates. The two men are warm personal friends o? many years standing and will allow no bitterness to enter the contest. In the shrievalty the race is be tween Sheriff John J. Mancy, who is being opposed by Hamilton Bry son, for renomination. Mr. Maney is serving his first term in the office. He is a citizen of Qualla township, or was until he moved to Svlva, fol lowing the last election Mr. Bryson is from Savannah township.

Speakers urged the fanners to pr-i-j duee enough livestock to supply th ? annual demand of their own conn'^sj amounting to 50,000,000 pounds, it was shown that although this p.--. tion is suited for livestock raisi ~ that it imports far more meat 4lwi it produces. The farmers, in lauml< isg. the mammoth livestock program which is designed to bring a new day of prosperity to the mountain coun try were urged to build, first tioward their home market and then to pro duce quality livestock for outside markets. Plans for regular sales days are being worked out so the packers can have their bnvers on the ground when the farmers have a lar^e enough sup ply to make up carload lots. This can he done more easily fov lambs and beef cattle than for hogs as there are practically none for the market now. It was pointed ou' ,that the beef and sheep men should encourage hog (Continued on Page 3) I TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stockbridge) Food I am glad to pay my respects to Qub Waser, the Lou Angele* hotel chef who won first prize in a na tional contest for the best dinner tiifnu by offering a list of comestibles without a single French name among then:. Here is the purely American dinner which Gus submitted: Grapefruit and orange cocktail; cream of tomato soup with crackers; roast chicken with dressing; new peas and mashed potatoes; butter bis cuits, salad of lettuce and asparagus tips; pumpkin pie and coffee. It would be hard to beat that, either for it# Americanism or for its appeal to the appetite. It trakeH me hungry to write it down. Analostaa I Opposite Washington^ in the Po tomac River, is an island of a hun dred acres or so which was the popu lar playground of the boys with whom I went to school in my 'teens. Fifty years ago Analostan Island was a deserted waste, covered with sec ond-growth timber and underbrush which almost hid the ruins of the mansion which George Mason of Gunston HaH built there before the Revolution. You got to the island from the Virginia side of the river over a crumbling causeway which was submerged at high tide. The short and easy way was to swim across the Potomac from Littlefield'j* wharf, carrying one's clothes out of water with .one hand. A boy who couldn't dp that couldn't travel with our gang. When we got there there wasn't anything to do but play pirates. Now the Roosevelt Memorial As sociation has bought Analostan Is land and given it tio the United States, It will be. known an Roose velt Island and become a public park, to which no automobiles will be ad mitted. I am glad to learn that it will be kept'm HuT wild stale In whiclt I knew it and that birds and rabbits will still find it a refuge. Gold One way of putting the unem ployed at productive w)ork is to Bet them prospecting for gold. That is not so fantastic as it may sound. There are gold deposits in many places which easily "yield enough to pay good wages to people who know how to get the gold out. In Denver and other Colorado cities schools for gold diggers have been started. Half a dozen exper ienced placer miners are showing the unemployed how to wash the sands of the South Platte river for gold. Here, inside the city limits of Den ver, every Spring and Summer since gold was first discovered there in 1858, miners have been panning out $1.50 to $2 a day of gold per man. In the Republic of Bolivia, where there is probably more undeveloped mineral wealth than anywhere else in the world, the government is al lotting five acres of mineral land to any unemployed Bolivian who wants to work it. Activities like those actually add to the world's wealth, and they em phasize the lesson many oft us had forgotten, that all wealth comes from the soil and it isn't safe to get too far away from Mother Earth. Fires The city of Berkely, California, has adopted an innovation in charg ing for the services of its fire de partment when the fire to which it is called resulted from a violation of the fire code or the protective or ders oft the department. That is sound common sense, and it ought to help make people" mor? careful about tak ing chances with the fire laws. More than half of the fires in the past year in America, a recent re port to the National Board of Un derwriters stated, were of incendiary origin* Landlords and tenants, hard pressed for money, set fire to their premises to cheat the 'insurance com panies. A general tightening up of the laws against arson and of the penalties" for this form of fraud has been going on in many states. We have more ?ires than any oth er nation because so many of our buildings are still of wooden con struction. It will take us another four or five hundred years to become as nearly fireproof as France or Ger many. | Program For Relief Given By President /? Washington, D. C., June 1. ? It would be hard to state the program which Confess and the Administra tion arc working on and have partly put into effect, flor the rehabilita tion of finance and industry and the effort to bring about an end of de pression more concisely than was stated by President Hoover in his letter to Richard S. Parker, Presi dent 0** the American Society of Civil Engineers. There are soire points in the pro gram as<Jaid down by Mr. Hoover on which tMre is not complete agree ment. On most of this program there is no partisan difference between Re publican and Democrats, although there is maneuver for political ad vantage in the matter of details of how the program is to be carried out. Mr. Hoover's list of remedies as stated by himself follows: (a) The quick honest balancing of the Federal budget through dras tic reduction o? less necessary ex penses and the minimum increase in taxes. (b) The avoidance of issue of fur ther Treasury securities as the very keystone of national and internation al confidence upon which all employ ment rests. (c) The continuation of the work of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration which has overcome the fi nancial strain on thousands of small banks, releasing credit to their com munities; the strengthening of build ing and loan associations, the furn ishing of credit to agriculture, the protection of trustee institutions and the support ff atohfMfr r* the railways. (d) The expansion of c&dlflPlby the Federal Reserve Banks. - (e) The organized translation ol i these credits into actualities for bus iness and public bodies. 4 (f) Unceasing effort at sound strengthening of the foundations of agriculture. (g) The continuation of such pub lic works in aid to unemployment as docs not play a strain on the tax payer and do not necessitate govern ment borrowing. (h) Continuation of national, com munity and individual efforts in re lief of distress. (i) The introduction of the five day week in government, which would save the discharge of 100,000 employees and would add 30,000 to the present ills. (j) The passage of the home loan discount bank legislation, which would protect home owners from fore closure and would furnish millions of dollars of employment in home im provement without cost to the Treas ury. (k) Financial aid by means of' loans from the Reconstruction Cor poration to such States as, due to the long strain, are unable to con tinue to finance distress relief. (1) The extension of the authority of the Reconstruction Corporation not only in a particular I called at tention to last December ? that if?, loans on sound security to industry where they would sustain and expand employment ? but also in view of the further contraction of credit to in crease its authority to expand the issue of its own securities up to $3 000,000,000 for the purpose of organized aid to ^'income producing" wprk throughout the nation, both of public and private character. The desire of probably the great majority of members of both Houses to attend the Presidential conven tions may result in speeding up the work of Congress so that a final ad journment can be taken before the date of the Republican convention, .June 14th. It is now regarded as reasonably certain, however, that whether or not Congress finishes its work by that time, it will not take a recess and then come back later in the summer, but will sit right through until the budget and enacting a sat isfactory revenue bill has bssn oomr jMMi
