THE CREED UF
TBE COUNTRY
Rural life is coming v into its own
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after several de
cades of disfavor and neglect. The
following creed, which is being ad
opted as the slogan of various boys
and girls club throughout the rural
sections of the United States, shows
that the thought life of the country
is being directed into its natural
channels:
I' believe that country whichJGod
made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the
earth as the. natural life of man. I
believe that work is work where
ever I find it, but that work . with
nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery.
I believe that thejlignity of labor
depends not only upon what you
do, but on how you do it; that op
portunity comes to a boy on a farm
as often as to a b oy in the city,
and that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in the
town."

TILLETT VS- GU1THRE ET AL
The other day, down at Charlotte
brother Chas. W. Tillett spoke right
out in meeting when in one verse cniicisms ot coco-cola, the ad
of his "Sermons of a Sinner" ap- vertisement would be continued
pearing in the Charlotte Observer at the proper time, but otherwise
he "propounded the question as to . the Observer would get no more ad-
whether or not the metnoaisc
Church in accepting large and muni
ficent gifts from the manufacturers
of coco-cola and cigarettes did not
estop itself, or at least seriously em
barris itself in the discharge of its
high function as a church to warn,
especially young peopl , agains
everything which tended to injure
them in soul, mind or body". This
seemed innocent enough. But Re v
JG Guthrie, of Raleigh, answered
Mr Tillett through the columns of
the Observer. And then the fun
started. Mr. Tillett wrote a reply
to Mr. Guthrie tendered it to Mr
Harris, editor of the Observer, for
publication. Mr. Harris refused to
publish the article. Mr. Tillett
then asked the business manager of
the Observer to publish his article
as paid advertising. This request
was refused. Mr. Tillet succeeded
in getting his article published in
the Charlotte News by paying the
News $49 for printing it as adver
tising. This has opened a contro
versy that is attracting a great deal
of interest in the stifle. Mr. ullett
is using the columns of the Raleigh
News andObserver as a medium
through which to inform the public
in regard to his side of the question.
Mr, Tillett alleges that the reason
the Charlotte Observer refused to
publish his article in reply to Mr
Guthrie is, that, his previous article
contained strictures upon coco-cola
and as result the Coco-Cola Com
pany canceled any futher advertis
ing with the Observer, and that
when the Observer Company car
ried the matter before Mr., Candler

THE
evening
hunse'ir, me papers were retur ed
Vv .. i ii me notation "If'Mr. Sinnerj
would, in the columns of the Obser-1
ver, reu-aoi and withdraw his ad-
vertiseing from hin". This, Mr.
Tillett claims is an attempt on the
part of the moneypower to muzzle
the press,
Thus we have two questions of
great public interest; That of the
Freedom of the press, or are the
large advertisers attempting, and
are partially successful in the at
tempt, to control the policy of the
newspapers whom they favor with
their advertising; and the question
of tainted money and the church
which Mr. Tillett first raised.
Owing to lack of space and the
size of our pap er we cannot, of
course give our readers the benefit
of the article pro and con in their
entirety, but we will attempt to
give the gist of matter.

DELIGHTFUL RECITAL
AT CULLflME NORMAL
Cullowhee, N. C,
December 13, 1914.
Editor Journal Again let me
call attention to the work of the
Cullowhee Normal and Industrial
School, the foremost school of this
section. The occasion of this com
munication is the occurrence of a
delightful musical recital on Friday
evening of this week, followed by
an equally delightful reception at
the Girls' Home.
The musical recitrl was given by
the pupils of that genial and ac
complished teacher of music, Mrs
Mary Carter Brinson, who is at the
head of this special department of
the school. In this recital the earn
est and successful work of both
teacher and pupils was noticeably
evident. The programme, given be
low, speaks for itself. It was rend
ere 1 in a manner at once credit
able and entertaining. It is a
matter of congratulation that the
school, the community and the
section of the state ' is prJnitted
to enjoy the pleasing personality
and excellent service of our charm
in 4 teacher of music.
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds were hosts
at the reception. The beautiful
Dormitory was thrown open to the
entire school and its parlors were
crowed with happy-hearted young
men and women. After the flow
of soul in joyous conversation and
the interchange of laughter, wit
I and wisdom had progressed some-
wh?- at Jeo::Vh", fair young ladies
darted in and out among the crowd
' serving ambrosia and cake, greatly
to tae delight of the guests.
Thehosts ware gracious in their
reception an I treatment of the
assembled friends, making v) feel
that they were receiving a cordial
welcome. Without in any sense de
predating the excellent lobors ;of
those who have gone before, I ; do
not hesitate to say that the Ciilio
whee Normal and Industrial, has
never been served more loyallv and
untiringly than it is now being serv
ed by Proftssor Reynolds and his
excellent wife.
D uring the reception, Mrs. Brin
son sang,. Miss Grady rendered a
selection on the violin, and Prof
essor Dean read a story from Hop-
kinson Smith.

follows:
