Bargains that will save you many
dollars will escape you if you fail to
read carefully and regularly the ad
vertising of local merchants in the
Press.
Tom Tarheel says that he doesn't
know much about vitaniiives, but he
notices that the family with If good
garden, a cow and plenty of fruit
never seems to be grouchy or to be
always taking medicine.
Spend your money wltn your home

keep up the schools, build roads, and
make this community worth while.

"I am not strong on arithmetic,"
said the c6w, ."but I can add to the
bank account of the, man who owns
me. I can subtract from the princi
pal of his mortgage. - I can multiply
his' chances for success. I can divide
his cares and worries. I can give
more interest to his work. I can dis
count his chances for loss."
Prof. M. D.' Billings, who has been
spending the last three weeks here
with Mrs, Billings, at her apartments
on Main Street, left Friday for his

When you have a guest, call our of
fice and tell us about it. When you
hold" a meeting otcojmntion of any
kind in any part of the county, ap
point a secretary and see that he
or, she sends us a full report. We
cannot be in but one phce at a time,
, consequently we cannot attend and
write up all the meetings. We are
always more than pleasel to give
special mention to all news of this
llnd sent in by our friends.
Mr. W. A. Harrill, of Rutherford
ton, N. C, arid Mr. J. V. McElhan
iion. of Fayetieville, were here a
couple of days last week, talking over
the power plant and cotton mill prop
osition with our citizens. They were
very much impressed with the loca
tion of Franklin for an enterprise of
this sort, and from the enthusiasm
shown at the meeting Friday' night,
it looks like Franklin is at last eoin
lo promote something really big, and
take her rightful place -among the
towns of North Carolina. ,
Sim Furness, who keeps careful
track of his activities as a citizen,
and who is familiar with the statutes,
believes he broke more than one hun
dred and seventy laws last yeac. He
estimates that, in addition, he" disre
garded more than one handred gov
ernmental regulations. Of the laws
broken about twenty-five were nat,-
, lonal and the remainder statutory
enactments of the commonwealth.
Jlr. Furness believes, if the craze for
lawmaking and individual regulation
continues, that by 1928 a reasonably
active citizen will be able to violate
ihree hundred laws a year without
attra-ti:i' uUentbn. lixcru-u
DREAMING AGAIN?
The people of . Macon County in-,1
herited the greatest wealth in natu
ral advantages of any of the Western
North Carolina counties, if developed.
But you hear on every hand, "We
.will develop all these natural re
sources,' but let's wait and get some
foreign capital to help us !" Offering
your birthright to the public. If peo
ple away from here who believe they
live in a, good country, and in a coun
try needing development, people 'who
have money, that would leave tbjse
places and come to your county, don't
you think .they believe there is more
money in developing your resources
than where they live? "That is true!
Then why don't you do it yourself?
You want to make money. So does
the man who comes here and invests'
his money in your heritage, and if he
comes you will regret it when it is
too late. Develop your own. Man
ufacture your own. Make it a fin
ished product, as highly as science
knows, then sell it to the world and
make ' your money. "Feed the cow.
go to Fhe other end and collect for
it, but still own the cow,"
Dam your river end sell the energy,
but own the river fof ever and sell
the energy . forever. You say the
icounty is not able to build a little
dam thirty feet hif;h and three hun
dred and eighty-three feet long at
the crest. That dam has, not one
tenth part of the material in it that
the Indian Mound contains, which is
located where the lake would end if
a thirty-foot dam is built. 1 We do
not know how long it took the few
Indians to build' this mound, but we
do know that if every man in Macon
County would do just one-tenth of
what he is capable of doing a dam
could be built on this river that
would add to the income of the
county at least thirty thousand dol
lars a year, for the energy alone that
is running by every day. If, however,
there were built six cotton mills of
ten thousand spindles each, allowing
two hundred and fifty horsepower
each, and selling them the power at
the same price that is being paid by
another ' cotton mill, that we have.,
seen the data on, this power would
bring an. income to the owners of
one hundred and fourteen thousand
dollars a year. In other words, the
power that is going to waste every
minute will pay for its development
fevery. year and' give you fourteen
thousand dollars to boot, that is if
our, information as to the amount
used, and amount paid by other, cot
ton mills is correct. This information
has been furnished -by three cotton
mill men unacquainted to myself per
sonally. D(t you think you should in
vite " anybody to come away from
their own town and develop this for
you? Don't you think you had bet
ter sell a little Bull right here to
your neighbor and buy this .develop
ment, of yourselves, and then sell the.
energy to the man who knows how
to use. it? Get your stock in your
own company and be sure you' get
enough now, and don't let it get away
from you and into the hands of
strangers. E. S. HUNNICUTT,

PLEASE NOTICE!
We cannot and will not publish
communications to the Press unless
the name of the writer is signed to
the letter." It is not necessary that
the jjames be published, but vyc must
know who the writer is. We are glad
to get letters to the paper from every
section, and sincerely appreciate them
if they are written in the ripfit snirir
and signed. In the past few days we
nave received several letters from
various sections of the county which
we were unable to publish because
the writers failed to sign them. In
no case do newspapers publish the
names of the writers' of -communications
unless they are of such a nature
that it isnecessary, but no paper, w'll
publish articles that come unsigned.
Those who , write to the Press will
please take. notice and not neglect to
Bign the articles sent in.' We get
tired of throwing interesting letters
into tne waste basket almost every
week because the writer did not let
us know his or her name.
