A mighty good thing to remember
during the Christmas season: "As
ye did it unto the least of these, my
brethren, ye did it unto me."
Maybe one reason this guy Lind
bergh delivers the goods is because
everybody has confidence in him.
Morganton is discussing organizing
a chamber of commerce. The exper
ience of Sylva proves that sucht is
a great institution.
Mr. Clemmer, Mr. Murray, and the
others who staged the father and
son banquet, did a great night's work
for this community.
There is only Highway 106 to be
completed and Jackson county will
be ready to go forward as a ur.il'.
Fewer dollars mixed with our dip

We can send marines to Nicaraix'a
to maintain the peace; but we can't
send ministers on a peaceful mission
to help bring about world peace.
Strange kind of followers of the
Prince of Peace, we!
A few years ago we had the '' Was!:
ington Disarmament Conference",
and proceeded to scuttle and send
down to Davey Jones' locker a large
number of our best battle ships. Now
the secretary of the navy is recom
mending to congress that we build
71 new ships; and he is supported by
President Coolidge. The steel trust,
no doubt is delighted. Thus do we
forge ahead with bringing about

How fortunate is America to liave
Lindbergh! He flew to Paris end re
established. friendly relations th it
blundering diplomacy had disruptco
between our country and the French
Republic. N?w he has gone down, to
Mexico and the Mexicans are feeling
better toward us.
50 per cent of the North Carolin
ians entitled to the government bon
us have not sent in their applications;
and the time expires on January J.
Talk to every former service man you
sec and ask him if he has applied for,
his bonus. These North Carolinians
will lose many thousands of dollars
by indifference.
Mr. Thomas W. Alexander, in the
Asheville Citizen of this morning, ex
pressed! the fear that the paper mill
at Sylva will befoul the beautiful
Tuekaseigee as the Champion Fibre
Company's Canton plnat has the Pi
geon. We are assured that the Sylva
uiill wili be odorless and that the
waters of our streams will not be
discolored.
SAVE THE EVERGREENS
The holly trees that you sec grow
ing along the highways, in the fields,
and. the woods aren't yours.. They
belong to Somebody else, and you
have no right to take them without
permission from the owner. "Thou
shalt not steal" applies to the farm
er's holly and evergreens, as much hs
it does to the trees in the city man's
yard, or the money in his pocket.
A JUDGE AND A PISTOL
Judge Henry A. Grady, ex-Ku K^ux
Dragon, presided ovir the court 01'
Wayne county, Saturday and Sunday
when feelings were tense, and tlic
relatives and friends of a murdeml
girl, righteously indignant, and with
hearts torn aivd nerves, attempted |
to take the negro that was 011 trial,'
with a revolver beside him, saw that
the law was upheld and the majestv
of North Carolina was upheld.
The negro was convicted and will
be electrocuted next month.
Three notable things happened. A
term of court was held on Sund?.y.
Justice was speedy and sure. A judire
of North Carolina held off the mob
spirit at the point of his pistol. The
people pf North Carolina can f*l
pride in the whole of the Iriai.
What need is there of Mr. Cool

Georgia in deciding to immediately

the Asheville-Atlanta short route,

miles or more and there will be most
excellent results to both cities #.nd.

that the Georgia commission is doing.
STATES RIGHTS
J 1
A short time ago President CW-'
idge gave utterance to a speech thit
breathed states rights, and that ga\e
renewed hope that we might, some
time, getb ack to the fundamentals of
government in this country. AH be
lievers in local self-government and
the rights of sovereign states felt re
newed hope. Tn his message to con
gress, Mr. Coolic^ge recommends a
great federal department of education
Some mental gymnstics in that change
In his message, Mr. Coolidgc also
urged federal anti-lynching laws. Not
a word did he say on behalf of out
raged womanhood. No recommend \
tion was made for the federal gov-1
eminent to protect the white women J
of this country. Nothing was reconi-j
mended t? prevent murdter, or gang
warfare, or for the protection oif the I
unfortunate white men who arc some -1
times lynched by their fellows; but
Mr. Coolidge lauds the Negroes to
theisky and fee's that it is the du v
of congress to protect them, eve i
r.t the cost of his professed love for
state's riirhts.
And yet there are people who think
'that Mr. Coolidgc isn't fishing for
votes himself. .
