Merchants Asked To Fill
Out Organization Blank
la ? concentrated effort to establish ? Chamber of Commerce In
Murphy, the Scout has writ ten several editorials attempting to set out
tn clear language the advantage of such an organisation.
Several local business men have commented on the editorials; all
asserting the idea is a good one and should be carried out.
Everyday it becomes more apparent that both the customers and
the merchants in Murphy would fare better If we had a Chamber bf
Commenrce with a full tame secretary.
? In an attempt to carry out the wishes expressed by the several
business men, the Scout is running a questionnaire at the end of this
editorial. We request every business establishment to fill out this blank
and mail to the Scout office.

Andrews C Of Shows
How,Cooperation Pays
The Andrews Chamber of Commerce once more proved bow much
can be done for a town through cooperation. Over 2.000 people were In
Andrews Saturday and Sunday to participate dn the Fourth of July cele
bration and to watch the Air Show at Andrews-Murphy Air Parkr..
The Andrews Chamber of Commerce and Ms members are to be
congratulated for their excellent work on the project.
*
It was no mean endeavor to set up and carry out the many?sided
Fourth of July activities that occured in Andrews this past week end.
And the celebration brought people from neighboring towns and
communities. Any time a project can bring visitors to the town, that
project has more than served its purpose.
Andrews is a friendly, up-to-date town that believes in letting
folke know it nestles in the Western North Carolina mountains.
New Business Answers
Big bleed In Murphy
A type of business entirely new to Murphy has been established
Just off the square and it is a distinct sign that Murphy is growing.
The Hilton Business Equipment Company answers a definite need
in Murphy not only as a retail store but in a community economic sense.
* ?
Before the new company opened here, good Murphy money poured
out of this town each month to business equipment companies in Abbe
ville, Atlanta, Kocrxville and other nearby large cities.
Business men here in Murphy do not need to be told that it is plain
good business to deal with a local firm whenever possible. The comp
(allies that send agents into our town are interested solely in bow much
cash they can take out.
But a firm established in our town is interested in Murphy, it must
I ? -
paf taxes and will trade with local merchants.
1 -vS ? ?- . -j
For a time, these large, impersonal equipment companies that have
. enjoyed a field day in Murphy for so long a time will cut prices In an
to close oat this new company.
But good business men will remember the prices are being cut so
ttcr our local store h forced out toe out-of-towners can go back
to their regular prices.
ml
j And they can go back to carrying our money out of town.

Christian's Code
fee July w. 1*?
' I 'HE Christian la not "under
*? law," as Paul says, but "under
grace." This does not mean that
a Christian can live as he pleases,
any old way good or bad. There
i* a code at oehavlor for Chris
tians. Only The Christian's code
is not like a city's laws or the
rules of a game. The nearest
thing we have to a code is cer
tain great principles of behavior,
the foundation
lines tor our house
of life. One of the
most familiar
chapters of the
whole Bible is Bo
mans 11, where
Paul sets down in
pretty plain words
what kind of be
havior may be ex
pected <4 a Chris
tian. The passage ?r; Foreman
is so familiar, in fact that it can
too easily be read with the eyes
only and not with the mind. So
this column will depart from iU
usual method, and simply present,
for the most part some of the im
portant sentences or phrases from
this classic chapter, first in the
old King James translation and
then in various other more recent
ones in English. They will be
numbered as follows:
1 King James translation (1611
A. D.)
2 Revised Standard Version
(1946)
3 Moffatt's translation (1922)
4 American Translation (1923)
5 Weymouth's (1930)
6 Phillips's (1947) ("Letters to
Young Churches")
(Where a number nves not ap
pear, it is because thil version
is not notably different from some
of the others.) These translations
will perhaps suggest to the
thoughtful reader that there is
more in Scripture than any one
translation can fully bring out.

You can see that the "code of
the Christian" simply is the way
Jesus livedl
