JACKSON CO. JOURNAL DAN TOMPKINS, -) -r Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered aa second class matter at Sylva, N. C. The Georgians keep coming up to get a line on Carolina. \ *j The mountains of North Carolina suffered a distinct loss when our other congressman was defeated in the Atlanta district.. The Journal regrets the defeat of Will D. Upshaw, in the Fifth District of Georgia. We rather enjoyed hav ing two congressmen. ? \ Boy, page the K. K. K. The Jesu its have taken over the Hot Springs estate in Madison county, for tlic purpose of establishing a Romanist college. Our opinion as to the intelligence of the average%Chinaman is confirm ed by the similtaneous twisting of the British Lion's tail and pulling the beard of Uncle Sam. Paul Whitlock broadcast a mouth ful, when he told the radio listeners that when a state tries to build roads )n the j ay-as-you-go- plan, there is more pay than there is go. AVith the completion of the pres ent municipal improvement program, Sylva will be the best paved town in North Carolina, population consider ed, which is saying a very great deal. The supreme court of North Caro ina is to be called upon; to decide who owns an old road. If it is like most of the old roads we used to have in North Carolina, before we came to our senses, it is hard to imagine why anybody should want it bad enjough to go to litigation over it. Mr. Coolidge, when pressed by the democrats for further tax reduction, states that the much-heralded sur plus in the treasury is only theoreti cal, and tnat tse government is bor rowing money in large amounts to pay its debts. Figuring on the same basis, we .ire a millionaire, with a big surplus in; the banks. TKede North Carolinian^ of the youn er generation are becoming positively extravagent. They spent $176,270.00 for marriage licenses during the last six months, not taking injto accout those who crossed the state line into other states to do their license buy ig. And it should be remembered that this is only first cost, nothing having been said about upkeep. Towns can grow in more ways than one. They can iiijcrease in influence in the affairs of the state, in morals, in refinement, in better homes, and ii^ better living conditions among the people; but most remarkable of all is the amazing growth of Waynesville of 265 feet in altitude in the pa^t; twenty years. Then, when tire writer lived in that beautiful little city, its most ardent boosters only claimed that it waa 2750 feet above tlie level of the sea. Today, we are all injvitcd to "Come on up" where the altitude is 3015 iVet. AUGUSTA CHRONICLE FAVORS HAMPTON MEMORIAL ROUTE. l"> ? \ Under the heading "Augusta and More Highways", the Augusta Chron iele, of September 2, speaking of the trunk highway from the South to the Smoky Mountains National Park and to KiifOxville, of which oujr high ways 106, from the South Carolina line, and No. 10 from. Sylva west, would form: important links, has this to say: ? , 'Ar^ Augustan has just been from Augusta to Smokcmont in his car over a good road all the way. He was told that it ^vas only nine miles from Smokcmont to Indiau Gap, with four miles of this road, now passable only by wagons, already largely grad ed; and that it was an easy as cent to Indian Cap. Aug-ista and many other pit ies, towns, counties and states are interested in seeing that sec tion of road on either side of Indian Gap opened up as speed ily as practicable. It will give a good road from Augusta to Knoxville about 75 miles short- v er than any that now exists?or that can probably ever exist? for this will be practically an airline highway. Besides other things, it will enable Augusta, Beaufora, S. C., Savannah, Ga. and 'nuch of Florida to get to and through the proposed Great Smoky Mountains National Park." FOR SHAME If it is true, and there is little doubt that it is true, in certain in stances, that some of the lumber con cerns are deliberately rushing up the work of cutting the timber in the Park aera, in order to get it off be fore the government can acquire it, the people who are responsible for such conduct should be ashamed of themselves. The primary object of the park, was to forever conserve, for the ben efit of this ai^d all future genera tions, the mighty spruce and other original forest trees that yet remain in the park area. The park without the original timber would be of lit tie value, and America would rue the day that it was destroyed. If certain men are wantonly cut ting the timber, they arc doing so against the desira of the federal gov ernment, against the wishes of the vast majority of the people of East ern America and are doing an irrc-1 parable injury to the state of North' Carolina a?,d Western North Caro-1 lina in particular. , 1 It has been reported that one con-' cern. has reversed the usual order of timber cutting and has built its logging loads into the remotest back country, near the tops of the Smok ies, and is now cutting the heart of the sprucc forests. If this is true there may be no law by which the re sponsible people can be punished; but they can be made to feel the lash of public opinion until they will feel that there is no place in North Carolina for men who are robbing our* state of her birthright. Mr. Harris Addresses School. ) In compliance with an invitation from Prof. P. I. Watson, the able Supt. of the Dillsboro Schools, Mr. D. H. Harris addressed the school and was much pleased with the progress that has been made the past ten years. If the whole state, during this goi den age of North vCarolina, could keep puce with Sylva and Dillsboro, .the children would not be robbed of latin in the high schools, which is .their birth right says Mr. Harris. ? o JOURNAL ADS.
