HOW TO KILL A TOWN
Various and' sundry "Ways to
Kill a Town" are going the rounds
of 'the press of the country. Some
one has gotten . together a bunch of
new "ideas" on this subject, and as
* whole they are pretty good.
If you are interested in the growth
of your town, or if you *ve not in
terested in it, jaat read this list and
so# what you think Tins
unkaovn author says the best way to
kill your town is to:
Fight on the streets.
Mistrust public men.
Run the town down to strangers.
Go to some other town to trade.
Refuse to advertise in your paper.
Do not .invest a cent; lay out your
money somewhere else.
Bo particular to discredit the
motives of public-spirited men.
Lengthen y#ur face when a strang
er speaks of locating in your place; ?
If a man wants to buy your proper
ty ask two prices for it.
If he wants anybody elses inter*
fere and discourage him.
Refuse to see the merit of any
scheme that does not exactly ben
efit you.
Run down your newspapers.
Run down your officers
Run down everybody and every
thing but Number One. ?
Talk in t^e loafing plaoes of how
bad times are, how everything and
everybody is going to the "demnition
bow-wows." ? Nashville Herald.

THE DIFFERENCE

The booster is the party
Who is hauling down the dough,
The folks are glad to, grasp his mitt,
Wherever he may go.
He '8 the little ray of sunshine^
He is Johny on\the spot,
And his talk is welcome,
' Though it strains the truth a lot
There's a sort of benediction
. In his cheerful "Howdy do" "
And he makes your life worth living
While he's a joshing you. ;
The knocker is the person
Who '8 the sorriest of chumps,
He is blue and melancholy,
And he's always in the dtimps,
When the people see him coming
They walk 'round a city block,
So they needn't stand and listen
To his stone-age fossil knock.
He's a burden to his country; \
And a burden to himself, ?
And his victims shoUt thanksgiving
When he's laid upon the shelf.

The Cullowhee Summer Schools for
teachers opened, Tuesday, under dir;
rection of Mr. W, E. Bird, who re- ^
ports that there is a large enroll
ment in both county and state depart
ments, and that the prospects for the
continued growth of the popular sum
men school at ??' Cullowhee Normal,
hive never been brighter.
The state is spending nearly half
a million dollars at Cullowhce during
the next two years, in addition to
the laige sums that have already
been invested there, which will make
Cullowhee the equal of any school in
the state in equipment, which added
to the natural climatic condition?,
will undoubtedly attract more stu
dents that any summer school in this
part of the state.
A npw dormitory for girls, one of
the best buildings of the kind in all

JAZZING CHURCH MUSI.C
(From Durham Herald)
Dr. Hubert Poteat, of the depart
ment of Latin, Wake Forest college,
who is a musician of no mean abili
ty, in an address before the graduat
ing class of the Southern Conserva
tory of Music, Tuesday evening, con
tinued his attacks on cheap hymu
books in churches. He would have
sung during church services such
songs as have a real religious mean
ing rather than thesort of music that
one too often, hears. Dr. Poteat has
for some time been making war on u
certain class of singing now growing
iii use in the churches, and lie is urg
ing the people "to quit it and go back
to devotional hymns of real senti
ment and merit. Church music is be
coming too jazzed, and it is working
against the cause of religion. Dr. Po
teat is engaged in a worthy crusade,
and if he succeeds in stemming thu *? j
assault that jazz is makihg.an church "
music he will render a great Service.
