IWKS8N CO. mm * ? v * ?> DAN TOMPKINS, - Editor Published Weekly By the JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL GC Entered as Second class matter at Svlva, N. C. THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT There is much pother over the state about the enactment of legis lation providing a secret ballot ^ law for the entire staie. Governor Gard ner is one of the chief proponents of the bill, and it is said the Lieutenant Governor Fountain is opposed to it. The Governor thought the matter of so much importance that he appeal ed before a joint session of the sen ate and the house and urged its pas sage. Ouc of the chief reasons that the Governor advances for the enactment of the measure is that he does not want his party, which is the majori-l ty party in the state, to be accused of unfair election practices. A similar law is in effect in Jack son, Swain, Buncombe, and some of the other counties of the state; and we have not noticed any fewer charges of election malpractice since its adoption in those counties than before. A*: we understand it, oue of the chief bones of contention about the present pending bill is the method o . appointing markers? the Republicans in the assembly asking that they be appointed by the chairmen of the two parties in each county, and some democrat;- wishing to retain the pro vision in the bill tor their appoin. ment by the county boards of elec tion. The truth is that no provision should be made 'for any such offi cial. The clamor is for a secret bal lot, and SH-ret ballot should he the raud riU of thP election law. Any body who will stop and think for one moment will know that official mar kers defeat the very purpose of the law, and the very principle for which the women's organizations and others are contending. There is no necessity for such an official, t\\ the number of the physi cally incapacitated and. those who aie upon the permanent registration roll under the grandfather clause are so few, that the two judges of the elec tion can mark the ballots for those at their request without a great deal of over exertion. The demand of the |?eople is for a secret ballot. The principle of a sec ret ballot is the only fair and just way of conducting an election; but if we arc to have a secret ballot, by all means let it be a real secret bal lot, requiring each voter to mark his own ticket, except the two el9s{? above named. I*-* Then we can have elections that will register the true sentiment of the people in all the counties. Thrt will assure each voter the right of casting his ballot without intimida tion, without molestation, and ,th>)t will prevent those who buy votes from knowing whether or not the ?rood* that they havo offered to pay for have been delivered. WARFIELD TVRPIN ?BEAT WITH HAMMER ? ????? ? * < Wariield Turpin, Savannah town ship man, is in the local hospital, in rather a serious condition, and Frank Rhinehart, Webster citizen, is out un der bond of $1000.00 on a charge of having inflicted wounds upon Tur pin with a hammer. The affray occurred in the consult a tion room of W. R. Sherrill, attorney, andno one was present except Tttr pin. and Rhinehart. In tho adjoining room were "Mr. Sherrill and Esquire R. A. Painter, who heard the commotion, and rushed in, to .see Rhinehart strike Turpin a couple of times with a claw hammer, it is said. Rhinehart then rushed out of the room, and down the stairway, surrendering the hammer and him self to Chief of Policc Martin. Mr. Sherrill summoned medical aid and Turpin was taken to the hospital, where he is said to be doing as well as could be expected. It is stated by persons who have seen Turpin that there are marks of four or more licks with the hammer about his head. ? It is said that Mr. Turpin has said . . that Rhinehart .st nick him the first lick from" behind, as he was going toward the door, and without warning Mr. Rhinehart stated to police of " fieers that Turpin attacked him with a knife and that hq seized) (the ham-. ? mer, which Mr. Sherrill kept in the room for the purpose of breaking coal, and struck to defend himself; -v . . and exhibited! on? or two euts on his v coat, whieb he stated Tttfpin made -irith the knife, in tiding to cut !.'? ' v ? ? ' .? lii :> ?' ? . U.'- -- - . .. " ?* r > .? - v= ? Rhinehart, according to reports. Mr. Tmpin was bleeding profusely and was practically erased from tho effects of the blows from tho harnimr when assistance reached him, and seised Esquire Painter, who is one ,of the oldest men in ihe county, by the wrist, with a vise-like hold, not knowing what he was doing, or who he was "holding, it is believed; being almost blinded with blood, and insen sible from the blows. Mr. Tuipin is well known. He is native of Haywood county,- but mar ried in this countyxaj,id has made his homo of Savannah for several year.s. Mr. Rhinehart is a native of this county. "His home is at Webster, and ite has taught in the pubKe schools of this county for sqvexal years, un til Ac resigned as-principal of the school on Savannah a few weeks ago. BOOK REVIEW (By Mrs. 0. C. Buchanan, Librarian) Mins. Sugimota, author of A Daugh or of the Samurai (pronounced Ssiu u-ray) is professor of Japanese at Cliunbia University. The New York Hora ld-Tribune savs she canto toi -noisy, hearty, Mid-West America ! from a home where an everlasting' blame bunied before the ancestral shrine; in he village veterans wtill < bussed in gilt armour on festival days and l^te ealin faced Buddha still dreamed among the fire-eolorsd clouds of Paradise." She as village Samboy rebelled against the hate that made, all women inferior from the , tiny girl to the honorable arand mother." "Her hook is most interestu:'r as a study in contrasts," says the New York Sun. It is more than a juxta |K>sition, bizarre and amzzing, of ihe yellow raeo and the white race. In cidentally the hook, is n powerful 'arbitrator between two nations who' have not always understood each oth er. If the Prince of Wales is Eng land \s best ambassador, Mine.

IN MEMORY Whereas God in His wisdom and meroy saw fit to remove from oar midst our beloved sisted Mrs. R. W. Fisher, on New Years Day, 1929. She was a consecrated ChriiXian from childhood, and was a member of Scotts Creek Baptist church- She was also a member of the W. M. S., but' for the past year or .two was not able to attend much, although her eondition was not considered serious and her death came unexpeetejd to her friends and family. She leaves her husband, five sons and tWb daugh tors, two grand children and a host of otii. ...Hives and friends to mourn her moiii;,. .:ho was loved by all who knew her and chnra^er was so pure, ito be in L. i con. j#."""* was bliss. We feel keenly The los.-ri of this dpar one from our community but she will live on in our memor ics, while her pre, once bqp gxjne to oc cupy one of Those mansions Jesus went to prepare for His children. We needed her here with us, but God needed her most. She is now where i>ain and sorrow never comes and whci*( no new made graves ap pear; where the voice is not stilled by death, but where they sing around the Throne and praise the Redeemer forever, v Oirr deepest sympathies go to the bereaved husband and family. But ojir loss is Heaven 'a gain. Them fore be it resolved: First, That w? bow in humble sub mission to the will of the Heavenly Father. Second, That a copy of this bo seut | to each of our local papei-s tor pub lication and that a copy bo sent tc^ the lonely family, also one recorded on the minutes' of the W. M. S. book Mrs. Goo. C. Snyder Mrs T\,. C: Bryspn, Conmihtco.' IN MEMORY <hi January 7, 1929 God called from our midst our beloved sis* od and co worker, Mrs. YV. J. Fisher. She was a loyal member of the Scott's Creek Baptist Church and! a devof.ei mem ber of the W. M. S. For some time her health would not j>crnui her at tendance but her libe,ral contributions ^ind prayers were always present. We extend to her lonely husband our deepest sympathy and pray Godhs richest blessings limy rest upon him, linger with him and fill the vacant place in this world for him. To know her was to love her. She was * ray J of sunshine to those around her. She I was ithe type who always would cast gladness upon others. While gone , from us we think of her helping to fill the number in "The Heavenly Land" and waiting our going. We -are sorry ft> have ito give Jier up here there is a vacancy in the home, at the table, in the community, in our church; the voieq is hashed, her foot steps will be heard no more. Yet w? cant think of her as dead, she is only sleeping in a new made graw, while "her soul was waft away in a chariot that swung low into a per fect day. ' ' Cousin Sally" did not die,. She only passed by. As we go along life's woy We will remembdr that -sad day. He leaves our hearts all desolate!, He plucks our fairest, sweetefft flow ers; Transplanted into bliss, They now adorn immortal bowers. Mrs. George C. Snyder Mrs. T. C. Bryson, Committee.

Spitting At best a vulgar habit, which can be done away with if we would devote a little time and attention to the task. There is no cuspidor near my desk as I write this. I believe in the practice of what I preach. The saliva is a very necessary digestive fluid. It was not provided as a luxury, but as a necessity. To waste it is to disturb the normal bal ance in our adjustment. The habit of spitting is a symptom indicating dis - ease. We should be mor? considerate of our fellow-men than to willfully expose them to our throat and nose infections. Sputum may contain many forms of bacteria; in_ fact, the "spitter" usually has an infected throat, causing in creased secretion. To expectorate on the sidewalk, or on the ground about the ,home, i$ to smear the premises witfi germs which, after drying, are ready for a voyage into some imiocent respiratory tract. This is the way in wnich the dreaded "T.B." finds access to many lungs. In the same manner, influenza, diphtheria, pneumonia, scar-' let fever, and many other ugly proc esses are started. To withhold your expectoration, or, if you cannot, then to deposit it on a cloth, piece of paper ? something you can burn ? is to be a humanitarian on a small but very noble scale. To sneeze in your neighbor's face, I exhibits idiocy of course. To expec-" torate where it will dry and be carried to t|ie throat of an unsuspecting vic tim, is equally ignorant, if not posi tively criminal. I dislike to arouse resentment on part of my friends, but I know I'm exactly right about this matter.
