The people and authorities of Frederick, Ya, are in trouble. An army of polecats has invaded their town, and established headquarters. They want advice in their quandary. We would suggest that they start a perfume factory. The Pennsylvanians who' have been chasing negroes out of their township, state emphatically thai they were in no wise prompted by race prejudice. Ob, of course not. Such a thing couldn't exist on the shady ; ide of the Mason and Dixon line; but the negroes were forced on! as effectively as if that had been the motive.

A ITltWlT; VK FACTORY 11KKK.1 We do not know ; a better location than Sylva for factories iu the -?i!| eve industry. Daily cars of luiu ber are leaving here going to other points to be manu actured into furniture, part of which is returned here, we paying freight both ways. AVe have the raw material. We have the labor. Freight rate conditions have much improved. Railroad facili ties are greatly improved, and the Southern is spending thousands on its track on the Murphy Division, to still further improve the transportation facilities. We have the water power, llowing to waste along our streams. Climatic conditions are ideal. In fact everything seems | to have been combined by nature, to makeSylvaa furni- , lure manufacturing center equal to Grand Rapids or High Point. All that is needed is the money to finance the project, to get it started, and Sylva as a furniture I manufacturing center would be established. ^t's go. ^ LIGHTS IN COUNTRY HOMES #? There is 110 reason why every country home in this, region should not be lighted with electricity, and the ft? mi machinery operated with the same power. Streams capable of turning small dynamos are running through every community, and through almost every farm in Western North Carolina. The first cost of building small dams and installing sir.:. II dynamos for individual or community plants would be small. And there ife no good reason wliay the [Work of the women and the men of the farms should not be materially 'lightendcd by the aid of electricity to hel;> them work in the day time, and make their homes more comfortable and cheerful in the night. . The., other day w<? noticed a com mill operated. with a gasoline, engine, beside a strehrn that once turned a water power mill 'and on the site where that mill once stood. We seem to have gone backward in utilizing our water power. Speak of carrying coals to Newcastle, rhat isn't in the same class with hauling gasoline to Western North Carolina, paying 30 cents a gallon for it, and using it to turn mills and machinery, with untold thousands of "flowing gold," passing down our ravines, jumping ,over our cataracts, and flowing through our peaceful vallies, every hour in the day "and night.

IF T1IK PPOPE WANT IT .Tin hro Uryson spoke the truth when he stated that any town, county, or community can have prohibition, real prohibition, it' the people want it. And there is just the hitch. Most people are for prohibition, strictly enforced ,for the other fellow, or for luost other people. They don't want Hill .Tones or John Smith to have liquor, and it either of these gentlemen is caught with the -.roods on him, they want him sentenced to the roads; bill t Hie same time, a great many of these same folks, wouldn't turn over their hands to sec that either John or Hill was caught with the goods. A great many very excellent people wash their hands of the whole business of law-enforcement, leave it up to the olficers, and the courts, rind i,po tbeir way, thinking that they have done their duty to their neighbors, (themselves and their country, when they have attended church services, Sun d.iy school, praycrmcet ings, and voted the ticket of their especial political party. How many good "mothers in Isreal," who would be shocked if they had any idea that anybody thought they were upholding the violations of the prohibition laws, and who would wade mud to their knees to vote for prohibition, and yet have within the past twelve months ?gathered blackberries or grapes, and made them into wine, and stored it in their own homes "for sickness", in strict violation of those very laws they uphold ? J low many good men have drank of that same wine, either from their neighbors or their own sideboard, or taken a drink of blockade, "when they were feeling l)ad", or have seen the law violated and have failed to report it? (letting down to the truth of tha- matter, do we really want prohibition, for everybody, ourselves included? If we do, we can have it. It Is Time 1 ? ? ? ? v> , : f>' ? . *? (? .

By 0. J. JONES The great Bible verse on it is ' ' B<: , thou faithful unto death", Rev.2:10.j The person who lives in obcdicnce ; to that command of the Savior can j express his relation to his Christian ! task in the words of a terse state ment we have heard, I'll do it or die. One trouble is that too many are looking for another job instead of doing their .present task with all their might. Another trouble is that we will promise to do things and not do them. "They say and do not". Jesus spake a parable to this very point (Matthew 21:28:30) "A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first and said, Sen, go work to-day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not; but afterward ho repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said,] T go, sir; and went not." The first ! was the better of the two, but thei;e J are a lot of the second kind in all walks of life to-day. You used to hear it said of certain men, "Ilk wor^l is as good as his bond" but I suspect that from most people to day one would feel safor to have a bond. That (lod looks for fidelity in us is evidenced by a strong state ment 'in Luke 9:20 "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and look ing back, is lit for the kingdom of God." Lot's wife looked back and became a mere marker on the plain, j Hardly as much can be afiirmed of others who have turned back ffr.m ' their good profession. We greatly need a revival of fidelity in one's job. o TUCKASEIGEE , j On last Thursday evening, Ovt. 4th a party of young people motor- j fed from Tiicksisciucf !<< < ? beautiful spats near I'm tlie Uti I saw mountain* : ?
