COMMUNITY INTEREST
By J. C. Brammer.
Olivet has enjoyed more than her
share of good things. Prof. Madison
feelingly and most beaut ifully gave
them what was pleasing to everyone j
As luck would have it.it was a pre
lude to the lecture of Mr. Oliver on
Monday Nov. 24.
For one hour, Mr. Oliver by poet
ry, personal magnetism and flights
of witty sayings, got the entire at
tention of the 125 people. Such say
ings as, "Jay Bird Craws, Ring-neck
ed, Bob-tailed, Long-tailed, Half-
tailed, Blue-legged, Red-legged, etc.
chickens made all feel that unifor
mity scores high in anything. Among
other thin gs he said that doing
makes perfect.
This great State Poultryman gave
the "Hen's Complaint" and then
went on to say that because of cold
hard work the hen does not lay;
therefore, he went on to say, we
need sanitary housing. He shoedw
the designs for this purpose. 46
joined the various clubs. So high
was the interest that some joined
every Known club. Thanks ato you,
Mr. Oliver.
QuaHa sent out 300 of her citizens
to hear Mr. Oliver, 21 of her pupils
gave the play called "Thrift". For
one hour we sat under the charming
influence of he whom we came to
listen to. No doubt, with such teach
ers as Prof. Reed snd his helpers
both teachers and patrons, thiscl'jb
will be large.
Willets was 100 strong. Imme
diately after Mr. Oliver's speech,
they took steps to raise enough
money to help everyone purchase
eggs from other club members. They
will cost $12.00 to $15.00 per nun
dred from the very best folks.
no aouDt cms campaign will im
plant into the minds of all that
this state and nation are doing all
in their power to help the boys and
girls who want to be helped. It is
only the indifferent who can not be
reached by soGiet y.
REPORT OF
COUNTY AGENT
MOT.
I have not seen anything in the
Journal from this place for some
time, so I will try to drop you a
few dots.
We had a nice time on Thanks
giving Day at our little place. Hon.
J. H. Cathey and Hon. E. P. Still-
well, of Sylva, each made a very
impressive address, with good at
tention. We also had a good ser
mon by Rev. J. F; Blackburn, of
Shoal Creek. We had a large crowd
present and everybody enjoyed the
sermon and addresses.
J. S. Sellers has bought and is
operating a boundary of acid wood
and saw logs, on Nations Creek.
The school at this place is getting
along fine.
W. T. Farley had a runaway the
other day. His horse ran away and
broke his shoulder or collar bone.
He is suffering very much at pres
ent, but not so much as he has been.
Wishhim a speedy recovery.
Our good old brother, Z. V. Na
tions, is having quite a lot of trou
ble with his leg. Dr. Tidmarsh, of
Whittier, has been treating him. He
says it will take an operation to
cure it. .
Uncle Joe Holcombe doesn't come
up as often as common. Feed time
is on and it takes him some time
to feed his cattle and horses. Uncle
Joe raised some of the finest water
melons this year I ever saw.
The church bell has arrived and
is up, ready for use, and the belfry
almost finished, too.
With best wishes for all the read
ers of the Journal,
Hobble Skirt,
County Agent Brammer landed
in Sylva February 15, 1919. This
was after he had spent one week at
the Agents' Meeting in Raleigh
where he got all the information he !
could.
ao charmed was he that he felt
that he had reached the best place
on earth, nor has this lessened as
days have rolled by it has only
enlarged.
On the 15th, the said Brammer
had notices printed about soy beans.
legumes in general, pleading more
and better live stock. Every one
was sought out and told about
prices, until 6741-2 bushels of soy
beans were ordered.
These rich hills told me at once
that it is sinful to let them wash
away by careless farming. This
and my duty to generations unborn
has caused me to go from one end
of this county to the other talking
grasses and then live stock.
The Superior Court began Feb
ruary 17, and there I met fully
1,000 people interested in the good
of the county. Should I live long
I will never forget the nteht and
day conference with you, dear
farmers of Jackson and, also, some
of Haywood.
In March the County Agent went
over Barkers Creek, Qualla, Cul
lowhee and Hamburg townships
trying his best to get parents and
children interested in farm life.
where he who was pleading for
Girls and Boys' Agricultural Clubs
had gotten the most out of life.
March 15 found the County
Agent trying to land two fine Ken
tucky jacks in this county. Fe
went again over the places named
above. He finally sold one to Mr.
Bob Howell and Co. and another to
Mr. Will Lewis. No greater jacks
are in any county.
The County Agent got 52 tons of
Acid Phosphate at $24 23. This
Fall two car loads came in and
those handling jt came down below
the price charged at first. There
fore all get this for $2.20 and $2.25
per bag.
Grass seed have been gotten from
the best seed houses so that much
has been saved along this line.
Wheat was ordered by the farm
ers from Lexington until 100 bu.
were 'ordered by them.
The County Agent is telling the
people to quit sowing wheat in
corn land for it injures the corn or
is sowed too late. Because of the
efforts. Jackson has become the
greatest soy bean County in West
ern N. C.
Through the organizaitons at
Qualla, Webster. Tuckasiegee and

missioners is but a brief outline of
the year of hard and successful
work. The County Agent has proved
a valuable investment for the coun
ty, and we feel that the recom
mendation Of the Commissinnpra
that the present agent, Mr. Bram
mer, be reappointed will meet with
general approval throughout the
county. The predictions, made
a few years ago by The Journal,
when we were making the fight
in every issue of the paper for em
ploying a County Agent, have been
fully justified and the work of
preaching the gospel of good farm
ing and better living conditions is
bearing fruit.

work. So intense was the interest
that several joined all the clubs.
More than 400 will have been en
rolled by secretaries and teachers
and sent in ere 1920 rolls around.
The organizations which have
been formed at Olivet, Shoal Creek,
Green's Creek, Webster, Tuckaseigee,
John's Creek and Wolf Creek are
getting stronger. The schools are
uniting to- make their community
ing forward.
To prove the above I now give
you the happenings for the week

State. Miss Feimster, who was at
16 of the Commmunity and Dis
trict fairs of the State, says these
were far better.
Green's Creek and Wolf Creek
say they are going to have a part
in this great Fair movement. I
understand that Sylva is going to
have a great County Fair next year
a Fair as clean as those just men
tioned. I am for this. But it must
be clean for the youths. It must
be Agricultural, Educational, and
Social and Moral. Then I am for
it and will work for it.
Eleven Agricultural Classes are !
being taught by me. The course is
seed corn, legumes and feeds and
feeding. The 400 students have a
chance to get a diploma on this
course, ihis together witn tne
Oliver and myself were pleased be
cause of the interest and audible
expressions of praise.
Webster with her 75 close hearers
made quite an impression on the
speaker.
Tuckaseigee with her 100 acted
iike real men and women. Many
questions were asked by these anx
ious p3ople.
John's Creek broke the record by
an audience of 400. The only Ne
gro Minstrel made up by a school
of this county was given at this
place. Who will break this record?
Wolf Creek was 100 strong at this

Shoal Creek, met Mr. Oliver by
sending out 300 of her citizens and
giving a play called "T'.ift."
Willets was 100 strong when Mr.
Oliver gave aa inspiring lecture.
No doubt big things arose in the
mind of every one.
Dil'sboro met in the Chapel where
the 15J in ue sacred and inspiring
place became imbued by Mr.
Oliver, a man who knows what he
is ii.li.ing about. May the State
send us such men. Men who have
the practical knowledge as well as

of 250. No doubt the girls' and
the county have made this a coun

Phone line has started.
Over 125 boys and girls have
been enrolled for next year's club
boys' a g r i c u ltural clubs being

Mr. Oliver, commenting on the
week's experience in Jackson, said
that no county has sent out
more of her citizens and shown
more interest.
Five cars of ground limestone
have been ordered for the farmers
this year.
A half bushel of sweet clover seed
with culture has been gotten :n
that we may demonstrate next
spring. Reporting important work

Raleigh, Dec. 3, The response to
the call of the Baptist 75 : Million
Campaign on the first day of the
final dash was unprecedented. North
Carolina Baptists responded nobly
but the goal has not been reached.
The words 'over the top" do not,
after all, mean the accomplishment
of the task. The command to "go
over the top" was the order to leave
the trenches and go after the object
ive, "going over" was simply the
start. The Baptist host started Sun
day, November, 30th. The objective j
will hot be reached until every Bap
tist in North Carolina is personally
visited, canvassed and persuaded
to contribute to the cuccess of the
world program which has been
launched by the Baptist Churches
of the Southern States.
Incomplete reports from less than
hAi of the Baptist Associations
received at Ralei ii headquarteis
of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign
sh'nv signed pledges for about four
million dollars. The minimum asked
is six million and this stte should
raise more. The six million can be
raised if every canvassing team of
every Baptist church in the State
will work until the last minute, six
oclock Sunday afternoon, December
7. V.
Arrangements have been made
with the Western Union Tele
g-aph Company for their Raleigh
office to remain open next Sunday
right until the last message has been
received. It will be the final report
see to it that every church reports.
Local church directors report to as
sociacional direciors. Aesar-.iational
directors report direct to the Raleigh
headquarters either by telephone or
telegraph.

afternoon by the various teams of
the church.
The service, which was in charge
of C. C. Buchanan, consisted of talks
on the various phases of the Cam
paign, by Prof. Ingram and George
W. Sutton, music, some snecial
selections being rendered, and final
instructions to the canvassing teams,
by the Church Director. C. C. Cowan.'
Rev. J. M. Bennett, a former pastor
of the church, conducted the devo
tional exercises.
At seven o'clock Sunday night
Rev. Mr. Bennett preached to a large
congregation and after the sermon
Mr. Cowan announced that the
teams, through their captains, had
reported pledges amounting to over
eight thousand dollars, nearly three
times the amount the church was
apportioned.
About $17,000 have been report
ed to Rev. W. N. Cnnk rnTT.T.oJd-
Director for the Tuckaseigee Asso
ciation, while the apportionment
was $15,000. However nnt nil tho
churches within the A
-WW VVlUViUU
have reported at this time.
It is believed that the total
amount raised by North Carolina
will reach the ten million mark, in
stead of six million, which was the
state's apportionment.
