On e of our subscribers asked us to ?lvf ? some information as to the Mr. W'oover now waging battle for nom nation for the. presidency on the republican ticket. We are unable to giw the information, and so we pass the question on to our readers. In presenting the question as to "Who Is Hoover?" we fell into some kind of a trance; perpetrated a piece of alleged poetry, which you may read if you want to, or throw it away if it pleases you. It is bum poetry, or near-poetry, if you in your mag nanimous nature desire to show your charitable inclination by term ing it such. Anyhow, here is the fool thing, and if you know any more about Hoover than we do, please give us your information, so we can satisfy our subscriber's curiosity: Who, Who, Who, Is Hoover ? - The chubby-faced boy of fame? Who knows this man Hoover, Or whence the Big Boy came? Is he a British nobleman, Traveling- in disguise, Or is lie a Turkish Sultan Throwing dust in America's eyes? He's ii real good dam builder, Many of the people say ? - But is he a damn good runner is the main question today. 'Xis said he drove the bread-wagon Throughout the big World War, But can he drive an elephant In keeping with, the G. A. R. tie d ctatcd our meatless days, And bossed every American home; But can he do the same thing With such as the Teapot Dome? But Who is this Herbert Hoover? With his high and mighty air? Of course, he rationed our sugar, But can he handle Sinclair? Who is he, this man Hoover, For whom politicians toil? 'Tis said he measured our bread, But can he measure Oil? .Who, Oh! \yho is Hoover, The worry of this campaign? Who the devil is he, We ask you again and again? BIGGEST TAX PAYER STRONG FOR SCHOOLS. in all that tias ui'ii said anil wit ten about the sche !-s of the county, the cost attached . hereto, and ad visability of reducing the length of the term and the ? ,)position regis tered against such i.ction, no state ment is of more ; unificance than that made by Mr. Jo-. S. Silversteen to ,u group of friends, one day this week. Some one had reported that Mr. Silversteen was in favor of cut ting the term to G months. "X never dreamed of such a thing,' Mr. Silversteen was saying, "I think it would be a calamity, and the very worst thing this county could do," he continued. With even stronger emphasis, the manufacturer went further and vowed "the only change I am in favor of making in the school term is to place the high ?? ill", i* hack on the nine months basis." .* .ftaao i that Mi'. Silver steen is the county's biggest tax payer, this statement has real sig nificance. Then, as one of hia friends pointed out, this is the last ?year that Mr. Sllversteen's children will be in the public schools, as his youngest is now a senior, still great er significance can be attached to his stand on the school matter. Thesf facts are published because of tin- report being circulated that ? Mr. Silversteen is in favor of a six-': month:-' .school term. However much one mu.v disagree with him on the j question of the schools, there is notjii'i'- but admiration for the pub lic I wh'.ih pi>?ni|' : . j tax-payer in the county to stand ^ squarely for his convictions on the ' Kwhen this stand calls for the ' t by him of several thnu?an9,5 7 carloads of freight totaling ;}?ri0,2(>3,t>0S pounds, us well as i f, J 52,2-1 7 pounds of less-than-ear :?iil freight. , "Our freight hill wa.s considerably , ii.lis'r last year than in any previous :ii in our history," Mr. Scharff und shipments ? . mater nls and for building cars which were lived from sources of supply on v.

S). lings, just skip over this little ' chat. Fannie went there, and as customary, went out on the lake in th? small boat. This boat had a ?'ass bottom and at places, the lake .- 80 feet deep and you can see the ?v.irtlcs and many varieties of fish on lit- bottom as if they were only in i brook, as the water is clear as a crystal. Fannie says that if you go wii; on a pretty "sunshiny" day the nushine makes rainbows on the wa <-r surface, it is truly a magic lake. She went also to the ever interesting city. St. Augustine, the oldest city the United States." Specialist ? I assure you, niadame, course will make an entirely dif f rent woman out of you. Client's Husband ?

Abraham Lincoln got his educat'on, became a lawyer and one of the greatest presidents of the United States, but history shows that he studied by the light of a pine knot and what Schools he attended, he walked to and there are many of the most successful men in Transvl vania county who received their edu cation at little cost to their parents or to others, but who, being eager to learn overcame all obstacles and ' educated themselves I W.h'le we are teaching our ohil Idren io solve problems in Algebra and Geometry, (which they will ?never need in later life, except as a 1 mind training, or if tlv-v become ? teachers), it would be well to toacl> ; them that most essential branch of education, namely, self-reliance and th'.1 abil ty to overcome obstacles and I to realize in their early youth that i they are not going to have either the [pleasures or profits of this life hand led, thom on a silver platter, nor brought to their , doors by automo | biles, but that they will have to get. lout and work and hustle f.v thim i selves, if they are going to succeed. My earnest hope and s neerp ad | vice 'to the people of our county is, therefore, to gut together and by 'united effort aid our county contmiS* jsioners in formulating, some plan to raise the money necessary to meet our bills and also to cut down every ! possible expense in the management I of our county and every diviS'on i thereof.
