Dear Editor I am a constant had the golden opportunity that Mountain Times had of looking into a cotton mill, I am sure he dosn't know anything about the reader of the Jackson County Jour-; of cotton miU or does he nal. It gives me great pleausure j anytning about tne cotton miU Qp to search its bright colums and soak ; poitunities, he said that if a child the good news of my mother State jnto my cranium, and I beg to con gratulate you, on your good and jaewsy paper you are sending out. As I was raised in Jackson County jintil a lad of twelve - years the golden memory still lingers in my mind of that dear old home. I noticed in the issue of Jan. 24 " the correspondent of "Balsam Grove' was unloading himself of what he had learned during his two months visit to the cotton mills in South Carolina, and again I saw in the Issue of January 31st Mr. Ruf fy of Moses Creek was trying to" corrobo rate what Mountain Times had said. Now friends, I wish to say I am one of this, low classed ignorant weakminded prosperous characters, as they called us, and I am proud of it, and I want to say right here at this particular juncture. Ican tell What State I live inland when it is ten o'clock by looking at the clock, as Mountain Times said we were pot able to do and more than that, I can tell by reading the letter he 'wrote that he had tried tolbe one of our band, but could not stand the qualification test Well after read ing his letter, I was forced to be . leivethat he had secured a position in some of the mills down here and after he learned it was a place of work he decided he had only one talent, and that was to hawk around up there on Caney Fork, and hunt . fish 'and sleep. j .Mr, .Ruffy of Moses Creek .- is ex UUseoTf or his Mssrepreentatio'nras J don't suppose the poor fellow ever- did spend his money in school that he had worked for in a cotton mill, that the cotton mill left scars on his manhood that years of reform failed to wear away. I wish to tell the good people of Jackson County that Mr. Kulfy, is an absolute false fying exeggrater why, some of the best citizens of South Carolina4have labored in these cotton mills. Our Solicitor of the tenth Judical circuit oi South Carolina is a man who has worked a portion of his lite in the cotton mill, and he is now serving his second .term as so licitor. Now as far the morals of the cot ton mill villages. I can oniy say, it is down here just like it is on Moses Creek and Balsam Grove, we have some good and some bad here in our little burg, we have a nice church we have four sermons a month w k tv have a Sunday School with an ave rage oi one hundred every Sunday. We have several other socities such as the buiibeam, and the Koyal Embassadors in the church, every bunaay atternoon. We have a nice school builciing, and a line literary school that runs ten months in a year, with a regular enrollment of ninty live scholars. We have two secret orders here, the Odd f'eliow, and the and Junior Orders. We also have the ladies Mission ary Society and we have a good de bating society. - Now friends you can judge for yourself about the surroundings of the cotton mills. Ours is a Professional Pharmacy because we make a specialty,of preparing medicines. ' " . Our methods mean much to physiciansVand those who have prescriptions put up here. The care with which we practice pharmacy leads us to test all drugs used purity and strength of drugs. If you knew as much about drugs as we do you would realize the necessity of our tests. You would then realize the importance of bringing your prescrip tions to us, too. iw THEO. BUCHflNaN, Prop SYLVfl. N C - - .. , t , : , .mm p Ji I .
