Will ReaDDoint CheroU pp County Board Members Apparently the school controversy in Cherokee county has been satis- j factorily adjusted because Repre- \ sentative G. W. Cover, J'r., of Cherokee, let it be known today that he will reappoint the present members of the county board of education. They are: P. A. Mauney, Robert H. King and B. P. Grant. Last week, the Cherokee representative had under consideration a proposition to qdd two members to the county hoard in order to eliminate several teachers whose political activities in the campaigns last year had proved objectionable to Democratic leaders. For a time, it looked as if A. L. Ma'rtin, superintenden of the Cherokee schools for 23 years, would be | replaced, but apparently the matter} has been satisfactorily adjusted and he will be retained. ?AsheviPe Citizen Times, Asheville, N. C. COMPLETE TEXT OF COURAGEOUS IN Washington, March 4.? (AP) ? The text of President Roosevelt's inaugural address follows: I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the presidency I will address them ?iwi m iuiiuui anu ? uvcisiuti wnicn the present situation of our nation impels. This is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to ftar is fear itself?nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our pational life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in . these critical days. , In such a spirit on my part and on I yours we face our common difficul- j ties. They concern, thank God, only I mate'rial things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; tares have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means o?f exchange are frozen in the i currents of trade; the withered leaves J of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great j number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. Yet our distress cornea from no failure of substance. We a're stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers hqr bounty and human efforts I Henlially Rich Termor* in This Sta >33 3 KEE COUNTY ] f ' ?P^|i' ? ajr * __ j The own i< are shown in the backs old.

Plenty to at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. With Money Changers Fled, Temple Must Be Restored Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through thefr own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have adtmitted their failure and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of pubiic opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True, they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce oifr people to follow their false leadership they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. .They know only rules of a generation of selfseekers. They have no virion, and when there is no vision the people pe'rish. me money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere moneta'ry porfit. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and normal stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto, but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow-1 men. Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standards of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an | (Continued on page 9) lit il.00 YEAR?Sc COPY HJCKEYS RAISE LARGE HOGS ? Jnuiual Success MpI With By Two People In Cherokee T. D. Hickey, yf Suit twelve niles from Murphy, i> the chamuion log raistr of Cherokee county, or ather, Mrs. Hickey is the "hog arm , ' according to R. \V. Gray, heroke county farm agent. "I consider the Hickey.* among the jest farmers in the county," Mr. ?'iav said. Mr. Hickey has not been physically able to look aft? r the farm oi sometime, but -Mrs. Hickey and wo husky boys carry on the work. Sell Many Hogs .Mrs. Hickey ha- been feeding and marketing from 20 to 2hogs each y ar. for a number of years. They rc cently butch< r 1 a hog that weighed 935 pound- when dress d, and ineasuted feet and I inches from tip to tip. It stood waist high to an ordHlir? man. The hotr was a Poland China, and was two year.* old last April. It was Mr. Mickey's intention to make the hog weigh 1.000 pounds bfcfo'it killing- it. It is thought to be the larg st hog ever raised in Cherokee county. Kecently there has been such a demand for hogs, that the Hicktys have been selling pig- for ach at weaning time, and selling only the surplus. Twentw-five of these hogs, a cross between Poland China end Duroc, at 6 and 7 months of age, averaged 251 pounds taeh. Have Fine Farm Mr. and Mrs. Hickey have a good farm of about 200 acrts, 25 in cultivation, 25 in pasture, the balance in woodland. They have a good orchard, raise all kinds of vegetables, have fine chickens, Barred Kocks and Leghorns, shup and 12 cows. They have bet n selling cream to the Mountain Valley Creamery, at B'rasjftown, for a number of years. They are "live-at-home farmers,*' and ntver come to town without something to sell. < Mr. Hickey wa.i among the first to put running water into his hou.*jr which has been an incentive to otheis to follow his example; he also is planning to install an electric light plant. He has good buildings on his farm. Mr. Hickty is abuot GO years of age. He was at one time a member of the boa'rd of county commissioners of Cherokee county. Mr. and Mrs. Hit-key hpve 10 children.
