TWO COWS BRING 12 00 FOR CREAM (By tc W: TitVMI) _ ; . Accurate records show that the cream. checks received from sale of tream from two trood cows on the Irrm of Mr. a ml Mrs. C. P.

JACKSON CREAM SA?LBS* SHOW BIG INCREASE; (By C. W. Tilson) The cream check every two weeks coning to many of our farmers* has caused them to increase their output I of cream on the farm and has indue- ' ed many more farmers to start sell ] ing cream. This fact is shewn l?v ! the increase of cream. sold lit tin' j creani stations in the county and by ! the number of new creani selling! farmers. \ The volnme?of ereaiu at the Sylva, Savannah, Barkers Creek, Wilir.ot and Whittier stations is growing au-.i the number of (Nitrons nl^o. This has come about because our valley farmers are now certain that it pays them to keep cows an<l sell cream. Records at the Whittier station show that On the 2nd week in May of last | year 16 patrons sold '284 ]>ouuds pf cream. The second week in May this J year 28 farircrs sold (i(>4 |>ouiids of| ?ream. Twenty four of these patrons j are Qualla farmers in Jackson county This shows tliat the volume of cream from Qualla is 2 1-3 as great as the output a year ago. This is strong | evidence that Qualla farmers are mak ing money. Duiing April, which is a., month of low priees on butterfat, usually,! the Xantahala Creamery paid Jackson county folks the same price as Ma con farmers or 43 cents j>cr pound for butterfat sold. The creamery ap propriated twiee the amount of butter in April of this year as they did in April of last year. This butter is of the highest <|iial ity '? made by any creamery in the itafo it" "r4 *?*** scores made on creamery butter. The creamery is not yet able to get near the volume of cream to ni&kc the but ter they can and are siting at a good i price. At any time we can produce a steady volume greater than the capacity of the Xantahala Creamery a plant will be plaoed in Jackson county. Of this fact wc have abso lute assurance now. Haising cows and building up a herd of* ti to 10 cows takes time and preparation, but many of our river valley fanners are making progress and they wiH soon be where the cash income will be such that the taxes on the high valued bottom lands wont worry them so much. One hundred dollars cash income from sale o( cream from each cow, and 900 gal lons of skim milk, a good calf, and two to three tons of "Barnyard Gold" and the cow herself left on the farm for every year that colls ( around makes a difference to our valley farmer. Some of them doing the job have already realized the truth of this statement. MISS KATE BAIRD WEDS OHAS. PERRY Franklin Press, May 17 A wedding of much interest to a wide circle of friends of the con tracting parties took place here last Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o 'clock j when Miss Kate Baird became, the | bride of Mr. Chas.

JAOKSON MA* HELD ON PERJURY CHARGE ! Asheville Times, May 22 Stopping a jury trial in a liqiio'i ease, Federal .Judge M. Yates WeMij Tuesday * morning ordered Curtis Cooper, Jack*on County defendant' and witness, hound over fo the No vember federal grand jury under 00() bond on charge of. |K>rjury. Coop:T, charged with his father in-law, Jim Parker, with moonshin ing had made an affidavit that he was too jwHir to transport his own witnesses to Asheville to testify in his behalf and in this al'fidavt stat ied that Id* owned no property. But on the witness stand under a caustic grilling by Assistant District Attorney Frank Pat ton, he l inall.x admitted that he did own land in Jackson county, althuogh he said tie is a Cherokee Indian and has no proper deed to it. At that, Judge Webb ordered a mistrial entered in the liquor ease, and placed the defendant under ar rest for pejrury. "This man will likely he sent to Atlanta for that," the judge declar ed. "There's no excuse for a man who has property and was able to operate a restaurant as this man did, putting the government to the ex pense of bringing his own witnesses, to court. I 've always been proud of the fact that our Carolina jieople were not perjurers Perjury is a hor rible crime. If this man can't, make the $5,00(1 bond he can stay in jail."

He will start his drive from the Lyric# Thea tre at 3:30 P. M. Monday, May 28. Every one is invited to see him per form this difficult feat. A ? Speaking before the Sylva Rotarv Club Tuesday, Judge Roy Deal of Winston-Salem, launched an attack against the North Carolina judicial system, whicly he characterized a* an tiquated and inadequate. Judge Deal, who is 'holding the j Jackson county superior court, this I week has resigned from the bench ef fective, Saturday; and based his re marks at the Rotary Club upon his reasons for his action. The Judge, the youngest on the superior court bench, first attacked the jury system, which he said should be modified, requiring juries to puss U])on only important civil actions and the larger criminal cases. He stated that the jury system grew out of the fact that the jury was the only safe guard of the liberty of the people, for many years; but that now the people have the suffrage, and other means of protecting themselves. Another fault the Judge found with the judicial system, is that the judges have to work too hard, that is they hold courts continuously for as long as twenty weeks at a stretch, putting in Saturday and Sunday go ing- from one court to another, which he stated', renders them unfit for the best service. This, coupled with the ]>oor pay, Judge Deal asserted, keep* many of the best lawyers off the bench, and often gets inferior ones as the presiding officer of the courts. If, Judge Deal stated, the rotation system could be modified, so that the Judge would be only a short distance from his home, and if he were allowed sufficient vacation to . * ' ' regain his strength and vigor after v folding several weeks of court, it would be a real pleasjfre to serve in the capacity of superior court judge, and the people would get the best of service from the courts; provided the judges were given enough power to enable them to run the courts in the interest of good government. JUDGE DEAL HOLDING JACKSON COUNTY Judge Roy Deal of Winston-Snlcin is holding the May term of Jack. -on county superior court. This court is for the trial of civil causes, only and it, is cxpected that the two weeks' term will be completed before Sat urday, at which time Judge Deal's resignation from the bench becomes effective.
