' i Juries frequently receive more punishment than anybody else con nected with a criminal law suit. If the people of the world don't succeed in making a fool of Lind bergh it won't be their fault; but his unusual immunity. v \ ? '' J t'y r J * ' / ? V' ( n. The Salvation Army Band was in Sylva Saturday for a real concert. The ]>eople of the community and en virons greatly enjoyed the treat by these meu) and women who represent the noble band to whom a man is nev er a bum, but always a man with a soul to be loved back to life, and hope, and immortality. ' COOLIDGE AND JEFFERSON Times have changed. There's iiO disputing that. It took a special train of nine ears lo convey the president the United States, dogs, pet coon and all other impedimenta to the Black Hills for the presidential vacation. The papers tell us of moving picturc shows, parlor cars, and "royal beds" for the president's occupancy; When Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated as president, lie went to Washington astride his old white mare, alone, got off her back, tied her to a tree, went in and took the oath of office of president of the United States. Simplicity itself; but then, remember what a whale of a brain Jefferson had! % GRAHAM STEPS OUT Graham county, unjtil a few months was one of the "lost provinces'' ?:v people, while splendid folks, c>/i?tnbuting much to the great ness of Western North Carolina, liv ed their lives placidly anj in the good 'old-fashioned way. Then progress came. The state built a splendid highway from North Carolina's Main Street to Robbinsville. A railroad was built into the county; and a big band mill is being set up. Large power developments have been made, and others are being made in the county and things took on new life. Now Graham has forged, we trust, years tthead of the rest of Western North Carolina, and, the other day, staged a real, city-like up-to-date pay roll robbery, in which the hold up meu netted some $6500.00 Even Chicago can't boast of# aiijything better. The only difference is that in Grahain, no blOod was spilt in securing the cash. THE PROGRESS OF CULLOWHEE Cullowhee State Normal, as an in stitution, is spreading its influence and throwing its light of education to the corners of the state from tho remote caves of the mountains to coves of the dCean. For years it has been as a light set upon a hill, spread ing the gospel of education in the mothtftins. Today the building pro grfttn allowed by the legislature by the Wraco of Mr. McLean and his bud get eomraission, can't keep paoe with the growth of the institution. They are crowded to death at Cul lowhee, for the summer school,. The dormitories are full to overflowing and the people of the community arc helping out, standing by the school, as they have always done, and have thrown open their homes giving ev ery available room to the students, and increasing the capamy -of the summer sehool. A practice school, for the benefit of the teachers, from all parts of the state, and to the great advantage of Jackson county chil dren, is being conducted, at the high school building. In fact Cullowhee is doing a noble work, and is becoming A power in the educational life of the state. -The state cannot afford to allow it to be hampered by lack of suffi cient dormitories to house the stud ents that are demanding entrance to the institution. i t DILLSBORO BASEBALL TEAM TO PLAY DOUBL-HEADER Sylva baseball fatys will have the opportunity of seeing two baseball games here Saturday, the first being played in the morning, at 9, between Dillsboro anjj Candler, and the second in the afternoon, at 3:30, between Dillsboro and Bryson City. Each o? the games will be played on thc| High School's park. SPEAKING OF THE TARIFF Speak to a mat^ on the iniquitous tariff that is driving the people from the farms of America, and that is forcing those who stick to the soil to the brink of financial rain, and that man, i^ne times out of ten, will tell you that he doesn't know enough about the tariff to discuss it. Thus has the insidious propaganda been spread about in this country, the peo ple lulled to sleep on this, the most vital economic problem with whica the country has to deal, and the grejK problem of the tariff well-nigh elim inated as a political question. While the people sleep, the privileged class es hold high revel in the industrial centers of the East, demand and re ceive what they wish in the Nation's capital, and the people are in dis tress. Oh, for the return of Sockless Jer ry Simpson, to enlighten the people and open their eyes to the cause ot their financial troubles^ ? ' Professor Dodd, a few days ag> dispassionately, and not in a political specch, reviewed the tariff in the light of the history an<j proved to the satisfaction of any unbiased mind that the periods of low tariff ha.e been the times of plenty and prosper ity on the American farms; and that every time there has been a high tar iff the farmers have suffered acute ly. The high tariff of 1828 almost ruined the ? farmer of the U. S and drove thousands westward ana ever westward in search of a decent living. The low tariff compromise ol the thirties restored the farms to their prosperity, and American ag riculture Revived antf thrived until tin period following the War Between the States, when a high tariff was again enacted. Then history repeated itself and the farmers again suffer ed financial ruin. . ? . Following the World War, Ameri ca repudiated the idealism of Wood row Wilson. We denied the doctrine that we are our brother's keeper. Tie Brotherhood of Man was thrown in to the discard; we enthroned mater ialism, refused to cooperate with the world in bringing about the reign of universal peace, held-aloof from rati fying any treaties of peace, building the highest tariff wall ii\ the history of this country, shut ourselves in our own shell and headed back to Not malcy. We have about arrived. Our denial of the obligations as a world power alienated the affection and respect in which we were held by the rest of the world. Our tariff wall made it almost impossible for other nations to trade with us, even if, m the state of mind in whieh they found themselves, they had so desir ed. And, with these insurmountable obstacles in the way we set about to cultivate foreign trade, and to seek foreign markets for the products ot our fields. Dollar diplomacy infuriat ed Latin America, and we the country that ten. years ago was the idol of th,c Worid, were left practically ! friendless. In the mean time, the tariff w*.?s taking every surplus dollar from the farmers and laborers and putting it into the pockets of the rich, privi | leged classes. The common people of America are paying the fiddler. They are becoming poorer day by day, as the tariff protected few become rich er and richer. Such an economic mon strosity is bound to end in a syste> of peasantry throughout the Unjtei States, unless the people rise an sfite it, while there is yet time. The only hope is for the minorit} party, the Democratic Party, to stop this eternal quibbling and squabbling over issues that are settled, and over non-esgentials and to wage a united battle against privi leges. 4 < Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." That is a great| doctrine, and the people, if properly led, will rally to the standard. I RECORDER'S COURT t) HAS LONG SESSION ) 5) (Continued from page 1) J ' CA George Mehaffey.

On Wednesday the trouble from Cashier's Valley was aired in the court. Judge Snttort stated from elm bench that there seemed to be two factions one favorable and the other unfavorable to the recently establish ed incorporation of the Town ot' Cashiers; but that there is no court except the supreme court of North Carolina that can pass upon the le gality of the act incorporating the town, and that all citizens must obey | the officers; and if any of them [ Kish to attack the legality of the in corporation, it must be done in a legal manner.

D. A. Bumgarner, mayor Of Cas-i iers and Julia Norris, were acquitted of a charge of fornication and adul try. It developed during the trial that Miss Norris, who lives with the mother-in-law of Mr. Bumgarner, had been seen frequently at his home and going into his room, last winter while Mr. Bumgarner was sick at his home, near the home of his mother-in law where Miss Norris lives. A num ber of witnesses for the state testi fied to this, aiyd to having seen the l in an automobile together; but no witness would say that he had seo-i Miss Norris entering Mr. Bumpir-j ner's room except during his sick-', ness, and at least one swore that she was helping to nurse him, and apply ing poultices and salves to his thro : and chest. Each witness who testi-j fied to having seen the two in- an automobile together, stated that il was when other persons were present, usually Miss Norriss' mother or Mr Bumgarner's mother-in-law. At the conclusion of the state's evidence, th? defense demurred an^ the court or dered a verdict of not guilty* Tho defense offered no evidence. The case came up from 9 warrant issued by a local justice of the) peace, in Cashiers, and there were some 25 state'8 witnesses, only some half doz en of whom were placed onj the stand, but most of" whom^ proved their attendance, and will draw pay from the county per diem and 35 miles travel.

CORNELIA-FRANKLIN ROUTE 1 Speaking once more of roads, Hab ersham county folks should not for get, nor should they allow the Stale Highway officials to forget that the shortest and most direct north and south highway east of the Mississippi is the one of which the Cornelia to Franklin section is the most direct link. We have no reason to be jealous of any other improving highway each one will help the whole region an,] eaeh one eventually become a part of some great scenic loop, but mark this prophecy: some day not many years hence an almost in conceivable number of cars will be irouted from Atlanta, the greatesr! southeastern metropolis, and from South Georgia by way of both At lanta and riiore easterly routes 10 Cornelia and thei^ee, to Franklin Asheville, the Shcnnandoah and Cum berland valleys to all the cities of the East. More and more also will Ameri cans indulge in a seasonal north and south migrations.?S. C. Heindel in The Northeast Georgian.
