ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT ."HE .'OST OFFICE AT TRYON, N. C.. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS. MARCH 3, 1879 (Eije ®rjjmt bulletin lc per copy (The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper) lc per corY Vol. 12. Est. 1-31-28 TRYON, N. C., TUESDAY, MAR. 21, 1939 Harold Taylor Now An Eagle Scout jt* Making fire by friction within f minutes before the Boy Scout Court of Honor held at the Parish House on Monday night, Harold Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Taylor, passed the final test for advancement to Eagle rank, the highest rank in Boy Scout work. The large audience which had seen Harold struggle previously with his fire making equipment burst forth with applause at his easy success on his second attempt. Locke McGeachy also passed the final test in camping by making fire by friction, but he has one more merit requirement before get ting the Eagle rank. He must pass the Junior Life Saving test which requires swimming, deep diving and rescue work. This op portunity will come to him this summer at the Boy Scout Camp on Lake Lanier. X /jn Harold will become officially an V- - Eagle Scout as soon as the New York headquarters approves of his work and sends to the loaal council his certificate and gold emblem. This will be done probably at the April Court of Honor. Harold is not only a leader in Boy Scout work but for several years has been a leader in the Boys club during the summer months and has won recognition for “outstanding achievement. He also is a member of the Tryon High school foot ball and basketball teams and of the First Baptist Sunday school. Following the Court of Honor beautiful colored motion pictures Continued on back page Communications To The Editor: Your recent announcement of the failure of certain bills in the State Legislature is an interes ting commentary on local political methods. Mr. Rogers was duly elected as Representative of the County in the Legislature and in this capacity he introduced measures affecting the conduct of county affairs. At the suggestion of Dr. W. S. Green, Chairman of the Couty Democratic Executive Committee, Senator Prince, of Henderson County, pre vented the measure from being passed. by the Senate. So it seems that the legislative affairs of the County are not in the hands of the official elected by the people but of a party official working through a resident of another County. In other words, we have a little dictator. This is the second time that Dr. Green has defeated the majority of the people in their hope of end ing the disgraceful abuse of ab sentee yoting. The whole business violates the principles of democrat ic representative government but if nothing can be done about it we might as well save ourselves the trouble and expense of holding any more elections. Doc. is a very wise and compe tent person and it is possible that he knows what is good for the people better than they know them selves, but what are we going to do when he is gone and some crooked politician takes charge and manages things for his own benefit and that of his gang?
