FROM FAIRFIELD.
Dear Editor:-Far back in the ancient
days, when Job, the righteous man",
for reasons that our feeble intellect*
cannot know should not question, was
to be tormented, and Satan appeared,
strangely out of place, as it seems t(
us, "Among the sons of uod", mo
tion was Satan's problem. "Going tr
and fro in the earth, and walking nj
and down in it." The highway fron.
this section to Sylva and also to Bro
yard will soon be open so that we can
crank our flivvers and make the dis
tance either way in a little over an
hour. When the Greeks won the
great victory at Marathon, the mes
senger that brought the news to Ath
ens, falling dead as lie delivered- hit
message, ran the distance, more than
29 miles, on foot. Today he could
have turned on the gas, or put his
mouth to the telephone, saying "The
fight is just over; we beat them to a
frazzle. Details later."
Mr. E. L. McKee is making consid
erable improvements and additions tr
High Hampton Inn and is lookim
forward to a great season. Fairfield
Inn is being rofurnished anr
thoroughly renovated and when fin
ished, will probably be the bes'
equipped country ohtel in the tsa<?
Both will be run under the sai.v
management as last year.
Some of <W county, officials wen*
found in a "pisend condition" la
Sunday on the public highway. "Gr
ing to and fro in the earth", an
yet when Cashiers does not roll r
a large majority in the elect5, *
they call it "Republican money'

FROM GLENVILLE
Dear Editor:?I want to say a few
words in our county, paper, as. a
mother, I want to ask God's people
to pray more faithfally and work
harder than ever before to hold up
the Bannr for our Almighty God,
and also ask cooperation and help of
our good- ?cber citizens and officers
to help d n tho moonshiners, boot
leggers ai'.i whiskey drinkers in our
county. E: socially do I ask for Ham
burg town; .ip. We all realiza that
we have n v;: been as faithful to our
God in thi:. work as wc should have
been. It ,-ms aS tho we have been
asleep for wo years, almost.
We can realize that the whiskey
workers arc gaining ?wy months
getting worse and bolder, until whan
we go to church and Sunday School
wc have to keep out a careful watah
to keep from being run over by a
car driven by some hootlegg*r or
whiskey drinker.
We reel our weakness as mrthai*.
but are thankful to say we feel the
strong hand of ouj Almighty God
about us. We beg and plead for the!
mercy and help of our good citizens
and officers of Jackson countv.
