C., Friday, September 25, 1931. $1.50 YEAR -5c COPY murphy plays BRYSON HERE FRIDAY P.M. Football Boys Undergoing Strenu ous Work T0 Whip Selves Into Sh*p? Murphy football fans will witness the : :nj* frame of the year Fri da\ afternoon when the Murphey ichool *">ys meet Brvson Citv nr) the kcal gridiron. and if you think tin* y are not going to put up an intt : ? -ting fight to carry off the bacon, you don't know your think. The boys are working ? and when ue say working, we mean something akin to slaving ? to whip themselves into shaps for the game. The writer ha> witnessed only one evening's work-out, but that work-out ? gosh, it was awful to even think about! But it* I'ne kind of work that makes a football team. If we are any judge, the work the hoys have done in the past 2 weeks at "the rate of the work-out we saw, they have really done more work in those two weeks than they did in a dozen weeks last year. Coach Passons is building up the team's stamina, Hor we might say wind. 4n addition to getting in some pretty line plunging and forward pass work. They boys have been working at it with a spirit that means they are out this year to bring home the elusive bacon. Fridays game will be the first time many of the boys have played against an outside team. It will also he the first game ol the season, and it certainly behooves the parents and patrons and public to come out and give the team a real send off. It will jro a long way toward helping them win and they will feel more like fighting in the future. We are no prophet, nor do we know how Bryson's team stacks up, but we are prophesying that Mur phc\ will win. You just comc out and watch 'em.

( Ye Editor certainly is to be com- ! mended for your editorial in last i week's Scout touching the incident i of the Atlanta high railroad offi cial and others who took things in- 1 t0 their hands and imposed on a : road traffic guard with big pistols, j etc., inflamed with booze and act ing like he wanted to kill. Equal right to the rich and poor, the high and low with special favors toward none. These principles are embod ied in the oaths that all of our offi cials subscribe to who have the re sponsibility of executing the law. You did not deal in names. No! It was principles ? prfincipfes as eter nal as God, himself. The h.gh ups should be exemplifiers of the best in government so that the poor dev il down in the ditch could have the right example set before him. We are all the more or less, following some one. ARTICLES OMITTED We had to omit a number of ar- j tides this week due to the fact that | we could not set them into type. We usually have, a "run" of copy on Thursday morning, which works a hardship on ua in trying to keep the paper showing up on time, and here after no copy of any nature whatso ever will be accepted for publica tion in the current week's paper on Thursday . Any received on that day ' wili be carried in the next week's is sue. All the effieiencv most men have they need ir th?nr own affairs.

S. C. I. Men To Visit Cherokee On this coming Sunday, represen- ! tatives. of the Sylva Collegiate I list i- i tute, the Christian-co-educational in- ' stitution of Western UNorth Caro- j i liiia Baptists, will visit many of the j I churches in Cherokee County. The! : visit will be part of the campaign j | of the trustees, faculty and friends) i ?>f the school to acquaint its consti- ; I tueiicN of the aims, ideals and work ? of the institution. Heretofore, the school has been ! I under th, direction of and supported I by the Home Mission Board of the! Southern Baptist Convention. At the j close of the last school session, this I board assumed all the indebtedness j up until that time and then relin- j j quished its control to the Board of Trustees and the Baptists of this sec tion of the state. Sylva Collegiate Institute is dis tinctlv a Christian school, on the ac- ' credited list of schools and colleges, offering, at a minimum cost, to boys and gills an education under Chris-! tian influence by a Christian factulty | The cost to the student has been re- I duced to $16.00 per month, which 'pays for room, board, lights, water, j heat and tuition. There are several students enroll | ed in this year's classes from Chero j kee county including Catherine Ab I ernathy, Buel Adams, Charles Dick ey, Nettie Dickey, from Murphy; j Carroll Gouge, fnom Andrews, and j Vincent Wright from Topton. The representatives and the j I churches to be visited on Sunday j I are as follows: Murphy, Rev. W. N. ! I Cook; Martin's Creek, C. L. Cope; | Not la. Rev. J. LeRoy Steele; An drews, R. F.

The method called by them, the cash and haul prices, is simple. The customer calls at the store, gets his merchandise cheap enough to meet chain store competition, pays cash for it and hauls it away. A price list has been sent to customers giving these prices which are consid erably lower than the prices quoted where the wholesale company makes delivery by truck. This method was inaugurated to meet chain store competition, and does not change the policy of the company as carried on in the past. Mr. C. A. Brown, president, states that it is meeting with great favor among the company's customers and retail merchants. Delicate Judgment The Judgment may be compared to a clock or watch, where the mo#t ordinary machine Is sufficient to tell the hours; but the most elaborate alone can point out the minutes and seconds, and distin guish the smallest difference of time. ?

At Copperhill Sylva Collegiate Institute will open j its 1931 football season at Copper hill, Tenn., on Friday night. The team is coached this year by James LeRoy Steele, formerly of Murphy. Prospects for a strong squad are good, according to Mr. Steele, and although he feels this opening game is perhaps a little too dificuli for his squad he is confident they will giv> a good account of themselves. The game will be of interest to high school students and citizens of Murphy, as S. C. I. plays here on the i>th of October and Murphy returns the game at Sylva two weeks from that date. Another drawing fea ture is that two Murphy boys are team in the persons of Charles Dick are making a bid for places on the ey and Buel Adams. IJoth of them will see action Friday night. It is expected that a large number of fans will make the trip to Copper hill to see the game. HIAWASSEE The farmers of this section are very busy saving their fodder. Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

Atunda nee Of Displays Expected To Far Surpass Last Years ln Quality The annual Cherokee County Fair will .-wing it- do r- and g&tes wide next Weane>day morning to what of iic? rs expect to be the biggest and best lair ever held. ihe crops UtL> year have be*_n unusually good, pro duce is plentilu*, and the number of exhibits that ate expected to be en tered will undoubtedly tar surpass anything yet shown in the way of quality. The buildings and grounds are be ing cleaned up and. put in shape this week for the annual display of live stock, farm products, minerals, and arts and crafts. -The fair opens on Wednesday and continues through Saturday. The baby show will be conducted on the same basis as last year. Com fortable quarters will be provided for the staging of this event. l>txie Model Shows, a unit of the B. & B. Shows, which company play ed the fair here two years ago, will furnish the midway attractions. They will have five rides, six shows, and about 35 concessions, including the famous corp game, "Bingo." Of general interest as an amuse ment attraction will be the field day events scheduled for Friday, October 2nd, which will be open to schools of Cherokee, Clay and Graham coun ties. The event includes 100 yard dash, -1 40 yard dash, 8H0 yard dash, 12 pound >hort put, pole vaulting, running nir;h and broad jui -ps, 100 yaid relay race for the hoys; and 50 yard dash, running high and broad jumps, basketball throw, sack race, 8 pound short put, and 50 yard relay race for the girls. The Parent-Teacher Association will have a booth on the grounds at which lunches, sandwiches and drings will be served. There will be staged hi Murphey but probably not on the 1*1 r grounds during the fair the annual horse swappers convention, and this is ex pected to draw many people into the town. The regular departments of the fair, it is expected, will make unus ually good showings this year, es pecially the flowers, horticulture, and farm crop divisions. Fair officials made it plain that sufficient funds were in hand or in sight to meet all the requirements of the premium list, and urged every farmer in Cherokee and adjoining counties to get in the competition for the hundreds of dollars being of fered, as well as the ribbons to be distributed. Urges Cemetery Be Cleaned Off To the Editor of the Cherokee Scout, the Mayor of Murphy, the Chamber of Commerce, the Woman's Club, and to the Citi zens of Murphy I wish to appeal in regard to pro curing the services of a man as care taker of our cemetery. 'Tis the sea son now for planting some trees and the cemetery is in a terribly over grown condition. It seems the city of the dead should be kept like our loved ones are not entirely neglected and forgotten, and a little attention to this might make the spot a little more attractive and less grewscme. I shall be glad to confer with any one interested in this and see what we can do about it. Respectfully, NETTIE DICKEY. TOMOTLA Tomotla .school opeued Monday having a large number present. The Maltby school is being trans ferred to Tomotla by Mr. Gay John son. Rev . Clarke filled his appoint ment at the Tomotla Baptist church Saturday and Sunday. There was a large crowd present.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman Barton and children were the guests of Mrs. Ollie Roberts Sunday. It may happen that an ideal is too unsubstantial tn be anything but an aircastle. Impulsive people sometimes hurt your feelings, but as a rule they are affectionate.
