SAVING IS WHAT COUNTS Several days ago we spent about o0 minutes listening to one, of Haywood County's leading business men tell of his personal experience when he was a young man struggling along to get a start in the world. He never last faith, and never lost sight of the fact that regardless of his income he managed to save a little of it. Today this man is worth at least $7.,0OU. and even that is a conservative estimate. Many times this man killed and dressed hogs for 50 cents, and when he got his first salary .job at $20 a month he thought he was doing fine. He managed to save, even on that salary and support his home comfortably. "The average young man today doesn't want to work," he said. "Instead of working they are scheming to get through the world without working their way through." To the average young man, this successful business man's logic that "it doesn't matter what you make, it is what you save that counts" might sound a bit off, as-some figure that they don't make anything these days. When they reach the age of this man. they will readily see where he was right, and many times will they regret they did not follow his example. Again a Haywood man is given state-wide recognition by being appointed assistant United States District Attorney W. Hoy Francis. This 'appointment is not a complete surprise to those who have been closely connected with ..Mr. Francis. During the last session of the legislature he made several bold stands for bills he introduced in the General Assembly, and the fact that, he fights to a finish to win was the cause of much comment throughout the state. The appointment of Mr. Francis-. to this position will also have weight in the coming election, in that Mr. Francis will not seek any political office. It has Ix-en rumored that he would be a candidate for Congressman from this district, but that does not hold true now he is not running, and that comes ..from ' thos.' who kmnv. The appointment of Mr. Francis will ;dso likely be the subject of more comment from Dan Tompkins, editor of the Jackson County Journal, who has had -quite a bit to say every time son;..1 one is appointed from Haywood to a state p'.. sition. Mr- Tompkins has said time and tinu again that it looked as if the ollieials in Ualeigli thought the state line ended at lialsam Gap. Few '-people' have given U Waynesville as much favorable national publicity as Freddie Crawford, now on the AH. American football team. Freddie notonly starred on the gridiron, but has conducted himself on all occasions in such a gentlemanly manner that no doubt h has done a lot to offset the general impression t hat all mountaineers are not of t hat type. Jack Phillips, of Georgia Tech has also done his part to get Waynesville before the world, and has done it iti a jnost effective manner. Both of these young men will long be rememb, tred, not- only in Waynesville. but throughout the entire football world. j THIS SMOKING NATION Between 1926 and 1930 the annual con. sumption of pipe tobacco was just about what it was 25 years earlier, allowing for the differ ence in population. Cigars showed a f alling.off about one-third. But in the first five years of the present century we were smoking about 3.. 000,000,000 cigarettes a year, and 25 years later we were .smoking 110,000,000,000 cigarettes, more than 20 times as many per head of the population. New York Times. THE GRAND JURY'S VERSION OF HOW TO ELIMINATE EXCESS CRIME Perhaps never before in the history of the county has there been as much cause for alarm over the crime situation in Haywood county as there is today, according to the court records. It was with this fact in mind that the grand jury recommended in the recent report that a series of meetings be held over the county to enlist young men and women as well as the old er generation to pledge themselves against crime. Judge Finley in his remarks said that the grand jury's report was most unusual, and also the best he had ever heard. The nature of the rejwrt fits in mighty well as an editorial, and is also very fitting, so we are using the last part of their report for this editorial today- It is something different, and straight to the point. "The grand jury -feels that the citizenship of the county should be awakened to the fact that crime has increased alarmingly during the last few years and that the majority of the offenders are under twenty years of age. This shows laxity in training in our homes and the citizens should make a united effort to prevent crime by proper training of our children. Our citizens as a whole, do not have projer regard for property ownership and the rights of others. Fraud, trickery, shady dealings and misrepre sentations must be condemned more often and more emphatically in our daily life, our schools and homes. Our youth must be taught not fear of, but respect for the law, and taught to know that it is their duty, privilege and right to de mand respect for and obedience to the law and to feel that the man or woman who disregards the rights of others and deliberately and know ingly violates the law becomes the enemy of every law abiding citizen and thereby forfeits all rights to the respect, or support of society. The citizens must create a higher respect for honesty and tear away the false cloak of. hero- : ism with which many of our youth have clothed j that crook and show him as the coward he is. "Our civic leaders, ministers and teachers, should call meetings over our county not once but often in the interest of better citizenship and crime prevention, organizing our young people into law absorvnnce organizations, pledg ed to obey the law and try to restrain others from violating it. "The grand1 jury has noted that a vast number of presentments brought are prompted by a spirit, of revenge and malice. Too many people bring charges against their fellow men not because they want better conditions or law enforcement but because t hey have a grudge against them. "This spirit is not only regrettable, it is revolting to good citizens. Let all men deal honestly and in good faith and not in a spirit of revenge. Some cases ai brought before the grand jury which are frivolous or of such na ture as should have been disposed of in lower courts because those bringing the charges do ito! want the offender to know who brought' them. This keeps our courts clogged with petty .offenses and handicap them in dispensing ju . tice. "Our courts are capable' .and just in th. measure only as our citizenship is honest. There can be no justice where there is perjury, spite and malice. 'among-the" witnesses whose testi mony -must, rule the action of the courts. Let alllaw violations be brought to he attention of the proper authorities in a spirit of pat riot ism. '' 1 t li rough a sense of self importance, revenge, malice or .spite. Let all citizens co-operate wit h i'JI ollieials refraining from unnecessary delays, reporting where needed frankly, openly an-1 without reservation all the facts .-tripped of 'private .opinion and misleading insinuations. "Some offenses are committed for greed. "some4 .for malice in a spirit of revenge; attempt ing to gain something for nothing, in such cases severe punishment is due. Some offenses are through weakness and harm none except the offender other than the bad example set. In such cases the citizens should lend a helping hand and at least temper justice with mercy. ;'? "Only citizens themselves can remedy con. ditions and only through strict observance to law for themselves and giving proper training to youth by example as well as teaching." This is certainly a challenge to the people of Haywood County, and if the spirit and ad-vice given by the above grand jury report is heeded there will be fewer cases next term of court than there were this term. t IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson tiiy I'.I..

Successful practice of this professiwi, we have al ways felt, must be built on public confidence. Pharmacy is too closely allied to the medical profession to resort to a price appeal.
