NEED >S FELT FOR
WHIFFING POST HERE
Just what ought to be done to a
fellow who refuses to work when he
ran get work at a fair compensation
but refuses with result that some
phase of charity is made necessary
in order to keep his children from
starving is a problem thut faces
Transylvania, or rather, what can
be done for such fellows.
If it were left up to this newspaper
tn mete out a just punishment and
one we believe would get results,
we'd erect a nice black gum or locust
post a the court house lawn, fasten
ther • .• a set of stainless steel
bran V:s and a pair of anklets of the
sum ■ iype metal, have Charlie Mull
o\m at the Transylvania Tanning
A,ui| any turn out some extra tough
rawhide, and th»n have a public
party and invite the fellow who re
fuses to .vcrk as ‘guest of honor.”
We know if several, not just one
,»r two instances, in this county
where men have been offered $ 48.00
per month for work and the joo
refused regardless of the tact that
families of those men live from week
to week off the pittance that is given
them from the relief office in Bre
vard.
We can’t blame the relief office for
giving food to kids of fellows like
those we have in mind. The poor
kids can’t help themselves; they are
aot to blame for their fathers’ trifle
nos-. lb wever, there should be some
remedy for a father who is too lazy
hi work, yet expects, and has the gall
to demand in some instances, that his
family’s wants be taken care of by
riio public. We know of no better
remedy than a good lashing.
Dan Tompkins, noteworthy editor
,,f The Jackson County Journal,
wants the world to know that
‘•preacher’* Teester is not a native
,.;•■ (,is county. We don’t blame you,
Oari. If we had such an idiot in Tran
sylvania we’d blame his reason for
being m this world on some other
section, too.

i'HE eh: cheese
Associated Press reports fiom
f, uisianu are to the effect that
Huey (Kingfish) Long is just about
the whole cheese in his state—now

1. Commander of an army.
i. Controller of elections.
Referee in the investigation of
the hostile New Orleans government.
i. Overlord of taxes.
Y Dispenser of reprieves.
ii. Suppressor of gambling.
7. Prosecutor of crime and
■>. Disarmer of enemy police.
With his prestige as a United
States senator gone, his respectabiL
itv as a Htizen, we predict Mr. Long
s ill before long have a long fall and
stay flattened a long time.
How's your faith today? War.ta try
it out on a rattlesnake?
Still going west on Jordan by the
post office -though lots of 'em
have taken warning.
What is it that makes men spit
tobacco juice >n sidewalks?
When a fellow takes up your
time ami wastes his in trying to
“give” you something... .better look
out, people don’t make a living by
giving stuff away.
September first has been set as
date of the textile mill strike, and
September tenth is recognized as |
date when kids will begin showing
:hat they are underfed.
Give Coach ttalph James credit for
not “crying” about having nothing
to make a football team out of....
Coach is looking forward to having a
snappy team ...and he will have if
fans here give him any sort of decent
support.
Where are those fellows that wail
ed so loudly about kidnapers and
gangs being directly traceable to the
fact that prohibition was in vogue in
the U. S.?
