16 Hailed Into
Mayor's Court
This Past Week
Maybe it is the springlike - weather.
Or maybe it's th aftermath of a
well behaved crowd all winter.
At any rate, lawlessness broke loose
this past week-end, and 16 were haul
ed into mayor's court on Monday. The
majority of them were charged with
being drunk. A week ago, only two
defendants were hailed in court for
the week.
Officers were unable to explain the
sudden increase ryes, an eight-fold in
crease. : ', -
Mayor J. H. Wtj reported yesterday
that during January the court col
lected $285 in court Costs, in Feb
ruary $112, and so far this month the
fines were in keeping with February :
With many weeks like this one,
however, the record will probably be
broken.

Yfiu may have noticed a large black
bus parked in front of Long's Chapel,
or perhaps seen it on the highway. In
large aluminum letters you will find
"Long's Chapel Church Bus" painted
on either side. As the church can
boast back to the pioneering days of
Methodism in Haywood county, so the
bus represent another era in pio
neering, for it is the only motor ve
hicle of its kind known in use by any
church, at least in 'Southern Meth
odism. The pastor, the Rev, ooim K. Carper,
after investigating why this and that
person could not attend church, and
why many of the children did not
come to. Sunday school, was told that it
was either '-.too far to walk, or that
it" was. not safe for the children on
the highway.
'Tire realization of tVie urgent need
of some provision for the children
whose parents had no nleans of
transportation, and the old people,
shut in from the World, by the dis
tance, who really could not come ' to
church, because of the: same reason,
and who were not able to walk, be
came a vital problem to be solved by
Mr. Carper, from the first day of his
pastorate at Long's Chapel.
The members of his church are
scattered in the coves and on rainy
days and wintery weather, he was
often discouraged by the attendance
at Sunday school and church. He
reached the state where he could not
sleep at night, worrying about the
situation, and how best to meet it.
He once considered trading in his
own car, for means of travel for his
church members, but in the end de
cided it was unfair to his family. He
thought of asking some dealer to help
finance the transportation, but real
ized that the church was not an ad
vertising medium, and abandoned that
plan. '.'
Then he saw where the county was
to have new buses. With his knowl
edge Of the mechanism of a car, he
felt that he could make an old school
bus trust worthy for travel. . then he
found through C. D. Medford, that the
county had one that would serve his
purpose. "
The bus is a 1930 model A. Ford, a
ton and a half truck chasis, and has
been repainted black. The pastor gave
a note for its purchase to the county.
The congregation is making the pay
ments on: it. At the front as you
enter, is a small tin Can, into this are
dropped the free will offerings by
those who ride. No one knows how
much or how little any one puts i"
but at any rate it has been sufficient
to carry the operating expenses of
the bus, as well as buy a heater, and
a new tire, since it made its first trip
last November.
The pastor drives the bus. He
starts out at 8:45 on a regular sched
ule. He goes first to Liner Cove, on
Highway No. 10, then to the Grover
