Entered as second class matter
at Sylva, N. C.
Sylva is now a concrete example of
a well 'paved town.
This is the time for the year when
it'8 most too hot for Haynes' knit
and most too cold for B. V. D.
"Still Captured Bird Flown,*'
reads a headline. But how could it
fly while still captured f
when yon shoot shoot straight. This
applies to your mouth as well as your
gun.
Concrete to Cullowhee and paved
106 all the way to South Carolina is
an urgent necessity. j
* I
At any rate Sylva is permanently
out of the mud; and the trout season
will open in nine da^. V
The presidnet is willing to relieve
the Western farmers by going out
and spending the summer with them
Our other congressman, Will Up-J
shaw, while no longer a congressman,.
will continue to live in Western'
North Carolina.
The interests of the commercial.
New England an(\ bucolic trans-Miss- j
isslppi are as far apart as the East,
is from the West. \
Of course cotton went up $3.00 a
bale as soon as it was out of the
hands of the producers and had be
come the property of the speculators.
As we understand it, the Asheville
people want a stationery railway sta
tion, and not one ehat is moved oc
casionally. '~
;The survey of the Parks lands
starts next week; and Dr. Hubert
Work, Secretary of the Interior, will
visit the Great Smokies, in May.
t"? i
As soon as the peach crop is killed
twice more, the Journal will make
definite announcement of the arrival
of Spring.
President Coolidge has decided to
take the advice of Horace Greely and j
go West and grow up with the coun
try; but not because he is young in
the political game.
With the addition of the six for
gotten miles from Cashier's Valley
to the South Carolina line, 106 will
be changed from an important com
munity road to an interstate highway
of the first magnitude.
Attention should be repeatedly
ealled to the relative value of a pint
of liquor and a human life. Enforce
the law, of course. Stop the liquor
traffie; that is the mandate of the
psople. But do not jeopardize human
life or violate the laws of the land
in so doing.
Maintenance Supervisor Gaffney,
of the Southern Railway, was in]
Sylva last week in connection with
connecting np the railroad property
with the new city improvements; and
took occasion to remark that Sylva
is the fastest growing town on the
Murphy Division, and that the
Southern officials anticipate a great
er growth for the town in the next
few yeans.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
It has been said, and we fear there
is some truth in it, that Sylva has
plenty of organization; but not
enough cooperation.
The town now has a great oppor
tunity reaching out through the
months and years that are ahead of
us. The only question will be to seize
that opportunity and make the mo3t
of it, by a hearty cooperation and a
winning team work among the people
of the town.
The Chamber of Commerce will
eleet new officers, or re-elect the
present ones, within the next few
weeks. The Chamber hap been success
fid, and if we reflect upon the
things that have been done eince it
was organised, two years ago, we can
but marvel at the things that have
been accomplished. Yet, we are
forced to the conclusion that perhaps
more could have been done, if there
had been less bickering, Jess criti
cism, and more pulling together for
the good of Sylva.
With the election of the officers
for the next year, let xm all join in
heartily with the purposes of Syl
jra's great civic organization and
, ? (i
work with the officers of it? tot the
coming of the-greater Sylva that is
to be. Let us forget Our differences,
ignore the factions, stop hindering
each other in our enterprises, and set
ourselves unselfishly to the task of
furthering the common interests or
Sylva and Jackson county. We wid
all greatly profit thereby, and the
Chamber of Commerce will have a
most successful year, regardless ot
who the officers shall be.
OUR STATE GOVERNMENT
The Governor-elect of Georgia and
a number of the members of his leg
islature arrive in Raleigh to study
North Carolina's governmental prog
ress. It is really amazing how the
other states ca^t wistful eyes upon
North Carolina's way of administer
I ing government. It is a great com
: pliment to the state to have the
leaders of "the Empire State come
here to find out how we do it.
Our system is not perfect, tarj
from it. These who choose to be
I critical can find many flaws, and
I can fill platform, press and village
1 store with suggestions and criticisms;,
; and yet, we arc persuaded that North
Carolina has perhaps the best gov-j
eminent of any state in the union,
that this is indeed what John Sprunt
Hill called it, "A Triumphant De
mocracy." .
It is admitted that our educational
system is not yet what it should be.
It is a fact that the cost of educa
tion, as between the counties and
school districts of the state shows
isueh glaring inequalities, that it is
apparent that something must be
done. The cost of schools is higher
in the poorer counties, hach child 111
the state is entitled to equal advan
tages to obtain an education and yet
this cannot bc provided under our
present system without placing an
unbearable burden of taxation upon
part of the jstatc, while other sections
have little to pay to maintain then
schools.
The highways of the state weic
poor in certain sections and good
in others, while the taxes for then
construction were incqual, until the
state saw the wisdom of a state sys
tem of highway contsruction and
maintenance. The enlarged eqir hzi
tion fund will help to relieve the
school situation, to some extent; but
the only remedy that will cure its
defects is a state system of public
schools, maintained by the state asi
a whole. North Carolina is coming to1
that. It is a wonder that it has been
delayed so long, for it is in keeping
with the policy of the state in all
other matters.
" With these defects before us, we
are still forced to the conclusion that
North Carolina has made more prog
ress than any state, that our govern
ment is doing more to further the in
terests of the people, and that we
have but started on the road to much
greater things. The detects and in
equalities will be wiped out, gradual
ly. North Carolina will continue to
travel.
CARD OF THANKS

We wish to express our thanks 1o
our many friends for their kindness

PRINTING PEDDLER
WORKING BREVARD
Brevard News.
Some gentleman was in Brevard
Saturday soliciting orders for job
printing. Just how many orders were
secured cannot be told. The printing
office for which this gent was work
ing is locatcd in Cincinnati, or some
othdr (seaport town, far removed from
Brevard. V
The Brevard News is interested in
(this man's work, because every dol
lar he takes out of Brevard is a dol
lar that is gone for good. The Bre
vard News is doing this kind of
work, and every dollar spent with
The Brevard News for job printing
ptays right here in Brevard, and the
merchant who pays for job printing
done by The News always gets that
money right back into his cash reg
ister.
/ Here is the way it works: That
man who was soliciting orders for
printing sends the money, minqs- his
commission, to the printing office in
the distant city. The business man
who buys from him kisses that mon
ey good-bye. '
On the other hand, when a business
man in Brevar(] pays The Brevard
News for printing, that money goes
to Doug, or Frank St a net to, or Miss
Alma, or Henry Henderson, or to pay
the office rent or taxes?but what
ever it is used for, and whoever gets
it, that money goes right baek into
circulation here.
One business man who was solicit
ed by the stranger said this to him:
"No, I haven't an}' order to give]
von. We have a printing office here,
and the boys are giving us one of the
very best county papers in the coun
try. Whatever money I spend for
printing is going to The Brevard
News." ?. )
And we thank that merchant, and
all others who made like answers to
the traveling (stranger who was try
ing to get Brevard money to send
into the big cities of the Middle
West. >
