1 Jackson County Journal DAN TOMPKINS, Editor. ? Published weekly by the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL COMPANY Uniarari as second class matter at the Postoffice at syir?, v. c. FRIDAY MAY 18, 1923 WE DISPLAY TEMPER t The Ashevillc Times accuses The Journal of "showing temper" and ol' "illnatured captiousness", because, forsooth, this paper Had the temerity to hasten to the assistance ot' our good neighbor, Waynesville, it its ef forts to retain at Waynesville the government's voca tional school. After quoting our editorial, of last week, on the sub ject, (for which we are grateful) The Times remarks: "The Times is loath to believe that the Joiunial is expressing the true sentiments of the people of Western North Carolina when it part rays them as resenting cer tain monopolistic tendencies wh.vli Asheville is charged with exhibiting. I f the opinion which i' lefinevi is generally entertained by citizens of neighbors : tows, then Ashe ville is the victim of the most-, iriiV itunate misunder standing. ( > *. "The people of Asheville have n .thing 'but flic heart iest good-will a:i<l the friendliest v-operation for the other towns of this section. The ?".t of .geographical comradeship lias been deinonstrat' >1 rn too many oc casions for us to question its existc at this time, j "Consequently, The Times is |H".cd to note the tem per which the Journal is showing. f tiiere is any on; thing which is calculated to sow the sCe.ls of discord, il is an attack of this kind on the good faith of Asheville. It has so little basis in fact and so much foundation in ill-natured captiousness that it must have the e fleet of introducing dissension where harmony or.ee prevailed. "The Times will not undertake to say that the Journal bore false witness wlien.it declared that mau? people of this section believe that" Asheville has bred to hog every thing in this region for herself." We c!o say, however, that such an opinion does a grave injustice to the true spirit of Asheville and that it is high time that it was abandoned as an inaccurate judgement." It may be that we have misread tlifc sentiment: of the people of Western North Carolina, but we think not. It may be that the feeling of distrust toward the avowed spirit of friendly co-operation on the part of Asheville with the rest of this region is without foundation in fact. We sincerely hoi>e that it is sc?. The Journal had no intention of showing ill-will iowai-'1 Asheville. This paper has plead for eo-i-porai ;on of this entire region in bringing to glorious fruition t lie dreams of all of us for otir well-favored mountain country, and we are firmly convinced that entire frankness and fair dealing are necessary to bring about that co-operation that is so necessary to the proper development of West ern North Carolina. So it was in that spirit of co operation, neighborliness, and frankness, that this paper raised it's small voice on behalf of Waynesville, and at the same time sounded the note of warning to Asheville of the gathering st.-rm rt indignation toward her cham ber of commerce that bi des much evil for Ashevillc and Western North Carolina. We know too well the temper ot our mountain people n<J to know that they will refuse to stand for what appears to them to be a raw dc.il, and this paper rejoices that Ashcville-has withdrawn her bid for the school that is now located at Waynesville, thus demonstrating the good faith of Asheville in the matter. We are delighted t;> learn from the Times that a grave injustice has been done to the true 'spirit of Asheville, and that Asheville stands ready to co-operate with her neighbors in the general upbuilding of Western. North Carolina. That s tiic talk, and we hope that Ashevilh' will back up the Times with works. Last fall when it-ns from Western North Caro lina met inAsheville ii? the tourist industrial conference, in an effort to place tiie attraction of our section bet ore., the ' world, more people from Sylva climbed the woreisome de tour over Balsam and attended the meeting than there were present from A>heville, although the meeting wai held inthat. City. As a matter of fact, despite" that fact that the Asheville papers had given the meeting wide publicity, only three men from that city attended the conference. Air. .lames H. Wood was there representing /?' the Southern Railway Company, Mr. Geqrge Stevens and Mr. Wilbur Devendorf represented Asheville in an un official capacity. The:e gentlemen saw the vision and were ready to co-oporate;but where then was the vigilant, alert, co-ojieratinu Asheville Chamber of Commerce and. its energtic secretary ? Where, oh where was Asheville '? co-operation,? [ However all thpt is water that has passed under the bridge, and if the 'l imes is speaking advisedly Asheville realizes the spirit of geographical comradeship and those po -pie Who have ihc.mi.i i.er spirit to be otlienvise have done her a grave iu.jn.Vtice. Ily their fruits ye shall know them is an excellent test, and we without iu)ti; lilting anybody except ouv knowledge of our people offer to meet the Asheville trades bodies, anywhere at any time in forming an organization that will co-operate for the common weal of our common i region, if The Times can pledge its faith, that Asheville will really co-operate. Jackson, Haywood, Swain will be there, we'll guarantee, and we believe the other counties will. Come on brother, let's try it out. . ?? * ( rpl / The food (experts may not admit that it can be so, biit the tariff has put starch in the sugar prices.
