SAYS RUSH PARTY
MACHINE iS CAUSE
COUNTY'S PLIGHT
(Continued from page one)
Mcm6, but a clean cut government by
the people, for the people, and not by
the machine, for the machine.
Now some of the big "bosses of the
nation, state and county may think
this is foolish, but fellow country
men time will teil the story. I will
venture to say that right now, in our
own county the old rusiy, clogged,
corrupt machinery of both political
organizations are grooming their men
for different offices, getting them
polished and oiled so that the people
will swallow them when the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November rolls around.
What are you going to do about it.
people of Transylvania county? Just
sit around and vote the straight Re
publican or Democratic ticket, just
because the candidates are part of
the "Old Machine'' of your respective
parties? It is a known fact that these
very machines have put our county
right on the verge of bankruptcy,
and it is a plain fact that a few more
years of the machine rule will put
our county in the hands of a receiver.
So now is the time to express your
selves. Get together, express your
own feelings in the matter, select men
who have the good of the people? -and
not the good of the machine? at
heart. Nominate and elect them, re
gardless of party lines, and at the
same time have it understood that
salaries from president down to
township constable are to be cut in
half, or more, and that every office
that can be abolished, consolidated, or
otherwise done away with, be bo
handled. That would bring relief to
an over-burdened people; that would
end the depression, and, believe, me,
that's whet the people of this county
t.eed. But the old machine cannot and
would not if it could, give any re
lief, therefore, it is up to the voters
of the county to stand together and
get the needed relief.
The p<rople are the voters ? there
is no doubt about this statement.
Well, if these voters are in favor of
ma, chine rule, high salaries, and so
on, then vote with the machine. But
if the people are in favor of a mod
erate salary for public officials, and
of course, the indebtedness of the
county is such that a drastic tax re
duction is impossible for some time to

OFFICIALS PLEASED

Kaleigh, Mar. 23 ? Income tax pay
ments the past week, which included
March 15, when they were due, reach
ed $6,362,785 Saturday afternoon, as
compared with $5,532,273 to the same
date last year, and are expected to
exceed the revised estimate of Janu
ary 1, of $7,200,000 for the fiscal year.
Including the deferred payments,
which are about $100,000 larger than
last year, the collections and known
receipts will reach $6,500,000, which
1 mis3 the revised estimates about
? $700,000. Commissioner of Revenue
! A. J. Maxwell expresses the belief
:that the $7,200,000 will be reached.
I come, but there is nothing to prevent
. strict economy, and that in itself will
eventually bring about a very sub
stantial reduction in taxes. We have
betn promised this very thinp many
times in the . last few years by both
party machine candidates, and all
that they have done is to in
crease salaries, appoint more mem
bers to different boards, and other
things the people did not approve at
(the ballot box. i
How many people remember Uncle
George Wilson, when he was elected
as represenative of the people of
Transylvania county on the Demo
cratic ticket at different times. He
was the representative of the people,
and not of the Democrats alone, al
though. M was a Democrat, he served
in the legislature as the representa
tive of the people of Transylvania
county. That is the kind of men we
need now to lead us out of this
highhanded condition.

Tom P. Jimison, preacher, lawyer,
orator, politician, labor advocate, (
economist, philsopher and a bow all, j
a real man, has returned to the puipit,
casting aside everything else but his
service as a minister of the gospel,
j Tom P. Jimison typifies America.
There are several millions of men
and women in the United States today
just like Tom P. Jimison.
This minister was proceeding ii
orderly manner, tilling his place with
satisfaction to the associates and in
a manner that brought pei'.ce and
contc . ic;i . to his i/-"n soul. Then
the World War came, played its
havoc in the life of Tom P. Jimison,
passed into history but leaving its
mark upon his life. The church wa'i
no longer satisfying to this man; the
bishop's authority he resented; the
presiding elder was looked upon by
Mr. Jimison as a buttinski. Groping,
searching, seeking for bigger things,
bigger spaces in which to expand his
own personal p0W4r ? and put into
effect his own opinions of the New
Day, Tom Jimison came to the part
ing of the ways with his established
order of things, and left the Metho
dist conference, left the pulpit which
he had graced; left the God who had
been good to him.
Mr. Jimison was then "free," he
thought, and gloried in that freedom,
or thought he gloried in it. He mas
tered the law, stood the bar examina
tion, was given license to practice
law, and then, he though, he was
fixed for life. A great profession, he
thought, and one in which he could
give his heretofore cooped-up mind
full room for expansion. The wine
glass which he had so mar.y times
denounced from the pulpit found its
way to his own lips, and he gloried
in that "freedom," ?r . thought he
gloried it. Wasnt^he" ortte of the
fellows now? Couldn't he take a drink,
cuss a bit if he felt like it, a cd be a
real free man now, that tbe cloth of
the ministry and the tie of the church
no longer stood between him and
"freedom." If course, he hud taken a
binding oath to obey the laws of
North Carolina and of the United
States, and to support the constitu
tions thereof, but that didn't matter,
you know, because. Tom was a mem
ber of the legal profession, not of the
ministry, so what booted it if he
violated the constitution and the laws
regarding a little bit of whiskey?
Didn't many other leading citizens in
all professions and business do the
same thing? Such laws were all right
for ministers, but they really dfdn't
apply to real fellows who hated the
prohibition laws anywav. you know.
So, Mr. Jimison made his mark in
the legal profession. He had big eases
and won big cases. The newspapers
told all about these things, and
Jimison's name was in the headlines,
and folks patted him on the back. But
Christmas time would come, and deep
down in Tom Jimison's heart there
was a yearning to tril once more the
beautiful story_ of the babe in the
manger, and describe the music that
?was heard by the shepherds on the
silent hills nearby. There was yearn
ing in his heart to talk some more.

Tom Jimison, the Returned Prodigal
about the Star of Bethlehem, which
directed the shepherds to th-2 placc
where the child Jesus was and which i
has been leading men to Him frr the
past two thousand yeai... He would
think of his work in the court room,
where he argued with judge and jury
as which negro had sold what other
negro a pint of liquor, or which big
listed m n had struck what other
big-fisteu man the first blow in the
scrap that led th?m into tlitf court
room. Mr. Jimison would compare
this work with that of his first work
in ihe pulpit when n:en s nd women
a:iu .title children had heard the story
as he told it about the birth of Jesus
Christ.
burmgtime would, come and Mr.
.I'niison would see in every budding
flower and in every spring of new
green ? growing the old, old story
which he had so often told from the
pulpit about the resurrection of Him
who brings new life and resurrected
hope into the soul of every r.".?n who
believes upon Him, and this beautiful
picture would be contrasted with
another court, room scene wherein one
man had killed another, and in the
trial of which all phases of sinful
life and emotions of the human race
were necessarily brought out in the
evidence, and Tom Jimison's soul
would cry out in rebellion against
this new order of things, this work
which he had thought he was "free"
to do as he pleased.
In the dark hours of night, away
from the scenes of suffering and
misery, with lights turned out and
[ window shades raised that the starry
heavens might be seen, Tom Jimison
looked back over tho wasted years
since he left the ministry, reconstru
cted the scene of the return of that
boy, about which , Christ himself had
talked," and rising to . his , feet ax
claimed:
"I, too, will arise and go back to
my father, to do my father's work."
"But how can I do it?" he must
have asked himself, and the answer
surely came back to his bleeding
heart in the sweetest words man ever
heard? "Come unto roe, all ye that
labor and arc heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.-' Then Tom Jimison
must have sung that old song, "Just
as I am, without one plea, but that
thy blood was shed for me." And Tom
Jimison went back to the pulpit,
, preaching his first sermon last Sun
day morning. This writer wap there
'to" hear him, as were many other
friends who know Tom Jimison and
love him. There was happiness in hin
heart and in the hearts of his
friends, as he took his place in the
pulpit and opened the Word that was
in his hand. He was born and reared
in Haywood county, and once hud
chs.rgi" of the church near Horseshoe.
He went into the far country, Tom
Jinrmison did, but has has come back
to his own, to servo hie own Lord. He
loves his church now, and the bishop
and the presi$flg,j>lj$er -and .the .mem
bers of tKe churmh look different to
him. The arrogant "freedom" which
he had thought was so sweet to him
grew bitter as gaul, and the life that
he had thought was so attractive took
on a hideous form and expression in
comparison with this happy state
>vhieh he found upon his return home.
Tom Jimison's life typifies America.
There are a million Tom Jimison.; in
these United States. "Liberty," they
want ;"Freedom," they think they
must have. The church, the famny
alter, sancity of the home, all these
things belong to old fogies, the people
have- been thinking. "We must hnvo
a good time," the people say
must not be bothered with any ox
this bosh about 'living right,' about
sobriety, about morality.'' the people
have been saying. Yet, deep down in
America's heart, jupt "like it was with
Tom Jimison, there is a heart-yearn
ing for a return to the simple life,
the true life, the real life. This nation
has been in the far country, engaged
REYNOLDS HAT ON
MORRISON'S TRAIL!
. Raleigh,. Mar. 23? Senator Cam- {
eron Morrison came home to make
three speeches in key cities, Charlotte,
Raleigh and Winston-Salem, broad
casting them over radio. He struck
out at "the boys" opposfn? him who,
lie said, could fnd nothing against
him but that he had a little money.
"When I was running for Governor
they said I was too poor to live in
the executive mansion, and they were
about right. Now, since I happened to
marry a noble Christian woman who
had money, they say I am rich and
I dangerous. I battled my way up in
i Democratic ranks while as poor as a
i church mouse, and I haven't forgotten
.those battles," said Senator Morrison.
Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville, his
i"wet" opponent, is scheduled to speak
1 in Raleigh this Thursday, with his
; message of modification. Thomas C.
! (Tarn) Bowie and Frank D. Grist,
i also contenders, are speaking oc
j casionally, Mr. Bowie advocating use
> of Federal Aid road funds for pay
; ing off schorl and other county debts,
; and Mr. Grist insisting on govern
ment operation of Muscle Shoals. The
1 guess here are that Mr. Bowie and
Mr. Grist will get about the same
number of votes, Mr. Reynolds will
get as many as both of them, and
, that Senator Morrison will get an
| many as all his opponents, probacy

SAYS EWBANK WD
NOT PROVE CASE
AGAINST DRY LAWS
(Continued, from pagu one)
now stands, it never WILL. BE en
forced, seems almost a certainty.
That some modified, reasonable plan
of prohibition, (or more accurately
speaking:, control) CAN NOT be en
forced is a matter of opinion.
In support of his opinion, Mr.
Ewbank appeals to history. Prohibi
tion, he said, has never succeeded
anywhere; and he instanced China
and Turkey as glaring e samples of
its failure.
I should not have taken these two
nations as criterions for the rest of
the world, but since they were so
chosen, we may pursue the argument
a bit further.
My inferior intelligence serves me
jnat sufficiently to deter r.e from
expressing an opinion on "'subjects,
concerning which I have no knowl
edge. I realize my profound ignor
ance of prohibition in China, and ac
cept without question, Mr. Ewbank's
statement that it was tried in that
pountry, and failed.
I do question, however, the infer
ence that because prohibition has
failed in China, it must inevitably
fail in America. American laws re
garding sanitation, pure foods, slav
ery, the practice of medicine, "cruel
and unusual punishments for crimin
als, and many other matters could
not be enforced iti China. Some of
them are very ill-enforced in Amer
ica. Should the Chinese adopt any
of these laws and find them disre
garded, it would be most unlikely
that we, in America would therefore
repeal our lays. Why, then, should
We follow Chinese r procedure as to
prohibition.
1 Regarding Turkey, I have some in
formation along this line. If readers
of The' News are interested in pro
hibition, in Turkey, it may be taken
up later.
