Nature endowed, we unquestiuti- abiy have some claim tu that description. i-"nm the standpoint of our streets, our business properties, and in many instances, our residential properties, however, we may be ques. tiontd as to the accuracy of the term. It might bt- well said that nature has given us everything beautiful, while some people have ';:: exactly opposite. There are today standing on prominent corners and on the most used streets of the town, old buildings that are' absolutely worth less to the owners, and detrimental to adjoining propel ty and the town at large. In discussing the topic with one of Wayne-vibe's most civic minded 'leaders, he said: "In each case, ' after naming nine build ings that need removing, "these structures are privately owned and. their owners, unquestion ably have certain '.indisputable rights with re lation to. .their property. However, the public has certain rights with; relation to every piece-, of private property and it is the opinion of many citizens that the town should require the re moval of many of the antiquated structures about Waynesviile; and that in other instances, community pride-, suggests that - the ' owners' should make'.. appropriate improvements." We li. iieve that there is more public senti nieat existing 'right now to beautify the com--' inutility than at any time in the pas; live years, The i-Vcer.Ued Clubs, under the direction ol Mrs, II ,X. Barber, are staging an active cam paign along this very line.. The Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the movement, and it seenis to us that it will be only a matter of a, short time until drastic changes will be made. And by the use of the word drastic, we us it. in its fullest meaning. THE WORM TURNS vMiami. Florida s gavest resort, seems to have been (lying too high. The grand uirv re sented existing conditions and expressed its resentment in a scathing report. Gamblers are in a stew and the sheriff is busy caring for those who are sm rendering upon gambling in dictments. It is apparent that all the residents of JIi anu who have gone there to eniov the sunshine, surf, and climate are not patrons of the race track, the loulette wheel, and the gav life that has mHe tne citv famous Inere are those who pie.er trie quiet life and who resent the influence or an American I)eauvi:l, upon their obklrpn.-.' 1 ne rattle ol the gambl.ngAvheeU the laughs of iihe gamblers, the buying of chip-, the betting at the race track have not weaned them from tn ewavs of decencv Thev seem to be1 in the; majority in Miami and: the city is in for a chan-up.

Spartanburg Hera.d. i FORWARD WITH WAYNESVILLE-CHALLENGE -A Waynesviile has elected a new Board of Directors, a new President; has reelected a Secretary, and other officers are in the process cf being selected. This step has been taken earlier than usual this year in recognition of the importance of getting an early start. Never before has Waynesviile been faced with greater possibilities. Never before has Waynesviile been faced with greater need, for an aggressive Chamber of Commerce. Never has your Chamber of Commerce had such a great need for the cooperation and the encour agement of the citizenship, both individually and collectively. In degree as this support shall be forth coming, so shall your Chamber of Commerce have the foresight, the courage, and the mans with which to carry the community forward. If we allow laziness, personalities, petty ani mosities. . shortsighted self interest, jealously, and general cussedness to prevent our getting together and pushing forward then your Cham ber of Commerce will fail of its purpose, and Waynesviile will continue to dry-rot. Its up to the average citizen. The organization can only provide the leadership, and do the sweating. With the average citizen willing to coop erate by rendering committee service ; being on hand at banquets and mass meetings; cleaning up his property; beautifying his hotel and boarding houses; improving his business facili ties; and making. a nominal contribution to sup port of the organization ; then you can be as sured that Waynesviile will go forward. Folks its up to you and me as individuals. Iets go forward with Waynesviile. Lets in crease the value of Waynesviile Real Estate. Lets increase the length of season to a point where we can make a net profit for our hotels, boarding and business houses. Folks, lets make Waynesviile grow, with the park. (HAS. E. KAY..IR, President The Waynesviile Chamber of Commerce Looking Back Over The Years OR JUST WHAT WAS IT? The historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is at present staging an edu cational campaign-endeavoring to show the peo ple that the term "War Between The States" is proper and not "The Civil War" when speak ing of the war that was waged in 18(51 in this countrv It is generally agreed that the war of lSbl was not a C iviI War. but all historians do not agree -upon this point. - Most Southerners, how ever, like the term War Between the Mates. As lor us we purler to leave out entirely the title : Civil .War. althougn a southerner for two years taught us all the battles of the "Civil War," but a northerner later showed us that it was. a -war -between the states. Judge I-rancis Winston while here a lew summers ago made, the bold suggestion of abolishing all organizations that were carrying -en. as he said, "the battles of the war that end ed in 18(5-1." .' W'e merely mention this fact to show that if the attitude of Judge Winston becomes uni versal even to the slightest degree in the South that it will be a hard-job for the I". I). C. his torian or anyone else to persuade the use ol the terra W'ar Between The .states." It is a hard matter to change people's minds unless they are enthused over that particular subject. We trust that the proper term will be used always, tut we fear it will be a hard 1(d) to complete. - r v4tv'- h, : Jd ).. k ' . ii-(iniiriiii-Mnirfa- ir - nni- . was 1.. .

More than 10,000 of these small district school buildings were abandoned in the pas' few year-;, their places being taken bv the mod-ni consoli dated school. With the rapid extension of good roads and the employment of motor buses for the trans portation of children to these larger in-t jtmirms it seems inevitable that the one-room school with its manv handicaps, will eventually clip pear. - ; .
