$2.00 Year in Advance Outside Comity
A hi II whs introduced in the senate,;
Monday evening, by Senator Gallo
wav, of Transylvania, senator from
i his senatorial district, with the pur
pose of abolishing the .Recorder's
Court )? Jackson county. A great
?leal <>l interest is being manifested
in Jackson county over the measure.
The court was established in 1921
hv an act of the general assembly,
at :i time when all the courts of
the state were n?orc or ^ess congested,
the court was given jurisdiction
0i misdemeanors and of civil actions
,it ;i minor nature. Joseph J. Hooker
w;1> the first judgo of the court and'
served out the term. He was suc
t'ccilcd hy F. E. Alley, Jr., who in
turn was succeeded by George W.
Sut nm, the present judge, who is
serving his second term in that cap
acity.
A companion bill, introduced by
Senator Galloway would name a non
partisan jury commission for the
county, which commission would hav0
charge of making up the jury list ox
such citizens as are qualified under
law to serve on juries, to place the
natues in the jury box*, and to super
vise the drawing of the juries for
each term of the court. The bill
would take those duties from the
county commissioners, in whom they
are now vested, and place them upon
the jury commission.
It is generally believed that Rep
resentative W. H. Smith is oppossrd
to the abolishing: of the recorder's
court, and that he will object to its
passage through the house, when it
comes to that branch of the general
assembly, should it pass through th.>
senate.
Advice from Raleigh is to the ef
I'cct that a compromise ha{ Xeen
reached on th0 ewo measures, where- ,
hy Representative Smith will nllow. |
the jury commission bill to pf?sa '
through the House without opposi- '
tion, and Senator Gallowny will not .
)>re<s the measure for the nholitioii j
of the Recorder's Court.

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED IN BEHALF
OF SYLVA C. INST
(By J. Glenn Travis)
Feeling (hat support of the insti
tution would be more generaf and
generous if the Baptists of the sec
tion and state, as well as the public
at large were better informed of the
merits, worth, needs and aims of the
school, the management of the Sylva
Collegiate Institute is launching an
advertising campaign with a goal of1
patting literature concerning the
school into the hands of every Bap
tist, Baptist adherent, or sympathizer
iu Nortjfc Carolina, ift an effort to
pat bei&te ffie pewple just what the
school is, and what it is hoped .that
it will be in years to come.
The first step in the campaign,
which has already been accomblished
was to send postal cards to the two
thousand Sunday School superinten
dents in the state, asking thc names
and addresses of the pastor, Sunday
School superintendent, president o? 1
the B. Y. P. U., president of the
Y. VV. A., president of the young
men's clasps and prfesident of thq
young women's class, of his church.
The response to this request has been
very satisfactory, about half of the
cards having been returned the first
! week. It is planned to send copies
of THE'S. C. I. HOOSIER, the school
news bulletin, to one of these ad
| dresses at least once a month. In
' such course the entire active member
ship of the churches will be reached
once or more times during the school
year. The bulletin is to be followed
at intervals with other appropriate
matter. It is also planned to send
worth ^fhile news dispatches to the
leading county and state papers us
such news become available.
A circular of greetings which tells
in a vejy brief way the History and
service of the school is being sent
to the W. M. U. of North Carolina,
in conveention next week, March 5,
6, 7, at High Point. The greeting also
gives a list of the improvements of
this year and a brief summary of
the needs of the institution. Other
plans are being formulated which will,
as do all the others, not only ad
vertise the school, but the town of
only the school, but thc town of
Sylva as well.
A list of S. C: 1. needs follows:
$25 to paint inside of girls' home;
$25 to buy bath tub; $25 to install
same; $25 to calcimine girls' home;
$50 to install laundry equipment at
hand; $50 to paint dining hall; $100
to paint outside boys' home; $100

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS TO
GO ON OBSERVING TOUR
' i
By A. V. Washburn,
District Field Worker
On Saturday March, 9, a delega
tion of more than twenty Baptist
pastors and Sunday-school superintea
dents and workers of the Tuckasei
gee Baptist Association will leav'c
for a short tonr in Cleveland County,
observing churches and Sunday j
schools.
Leaving Sylva Saturday morning
.the party will drive to Kings Moun
tain and Shelby. While in Shelby,
they will look over the new Sunday
school plant recently erected under
the leadership of the pastor, Dr.
Zeno Wall. This is one of the most
modern working plants in North Car
olina, and would be a credit to any
town many times the size of Shelby
A vi3it will then be made to Double
Springs, a country church six miles
out from Shelby, where a real coun
try supper will be served in the base
ment of the church. There ihey wil
observe them in their 4 ' Weekly Teacl
eis Meeting" from 6:30 to 7:45
then drive to Boiling Springs Junto
CrUegc, a distance of seven nutas
' i
and attend the annual debate of one
of .the literary socitieties.
The visitors will be entertained in
the homes of the Double Springs peo
ple and on Sunday morning will ob
serve them in their Sunday school
and attend an associational Sunday
School Convention in the afternoon
which has been scheduled for that
church at 2:00 o'clock. After this
meeting the party will again turn
their faces toward the Balsams of
Jackson founty.
The Baptists of Cleveland county
are looking forward, with peuuLiar in
terest to the opportunity of having
this band of co-workers as their
guests and will do all in their power
to make the visit pleasant.
We are of the opinion that Sun
day school workers might profit as
well as farmers and school teachers,
by visiting and observing others.

! to the grade rooms in the administra
tion building, before the end of the

The most visible changes have
taken place in the Brown Home for
boys, where every bed room that is
in use has been covered with at
least one coat of freshening white
paint, the lobby calcimined, and furn
ished, the furniture varnished, and
the bathroom 're-equipped. Rfecefttly
new furnishings for the infirmary
have been donated by the W. M. U.
of Waynesville. The boys are taking
great . pride in making their roams
as home-like as possible and keeping
the building clean. It is required tint ?
all rooms be ready for inspeotifA by
8:15 in the morning. ?
In the Cowan Home for gi|is the
improvements are less visible, tko^gh
not- less helpful or important . Ntw
mattresses fort the entire building
have been bought, the furniture' ?var
nished, new draperies and furniture
secured for the reception halt- and
twoHbath rooms installed. -

grounds. Additional work whieh in
cludes a circular road touching all
the buildings, planting flowers, sow
ing grass, setting out shrubbery and
raking and cleaning in general Is
