THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL DAN TOMPKINS, Editor Published Weekly by The JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered as second class matter at Sylva, NVC. Suppose all of us who have felt contempt to the senate should be sent stream ! ' Imagine anybody trying to live anywhere that is not within easy striking1 distance of a good trout si lvaju. Farm Relief Amendments Swamp Senate. The farmers were already swamped, and this makes ii/ unani mous. Suppose, in view of Nicaragua, and other recent cecurances, the Presi dent Monroe would recognize his own doctrine! So far the farmer hasn't even been relieved of Ills anxiety over what the relief session of congress is going to do to him. A scientist has invented a device that will open the garage door by three toots of the horn. Drug store cowboys have long used this method for opening front doors. BUNTOED AS USUAL Buncoc?l as usual, is the way the Asheviile Citizen sums up the 8f>, 000 word tariff bill that the commit tee of the 'rfarin relief" congress has presnted the farmers. 1 The Citizen goes 011 to say: "This was to lie, we were sweetly assured, a tariff for ag riculture. Well, the extent of farm relief granted the North Carolina farmers, according to John A. Livingston, of the Ral eigh News and Observver, is that North Carolina rutabagas have been raised to the dignity of Nirnips ?nd the duty 011 both tur nips and rutabagas has been fix ed at 25 cents a hundred pounds, or a little better than double the present duty of 12 cents on tur nips. "With the sugar tariff inrreas ed from 2.2 cents a jhhuhI to cents on fop grades, the sugar planters of Ijouisiana and the su gar beet gffiwers of the North west will profit ; but as Congress man Daughton jwints out, " for every dollar they receive the con suming public of America will pay' many dollars in the way of increased prices lor sugar, most of which is imported" "Raw cotton was left on the free list Duties 011 certain classes of cotton goods were increased, but mainly on the finer grades and with frank explanation that the purpose is to improve condi tions in New England Textile in dustry as far as may be possible by means of the tariff "The cotton people lost their tight over a tariff on .jute, but ? the manufacturers succeeded in having shingles, brick, cement, and other building materials re moved from the free list In the bill there is no Iiojki for the average man who lives on tin land Congressman Rainey of Illi nois says that that the new tar riff is simply a monster gold brick What else was to have been expected? HARRY SINCLAIR IN HOOSGOW Upon Harry F. Sinclair, serving a 90 day sentence in the District of Co- 1 lumbia jail, for coriTepmt of the sen ate, has been conferred the honorary degree of Ph. D. for 90 days, as the official druggist of the prison The mountain of the law was in labor and brught forth a mouse. ' Innumerable criminal nets were brought to light and dark and devi ous ways disclosed during the inves tigation of the larceny of the oil lands. Many men of station and of wealth were indicted. Some principals and some witnesses fled the country. Oth ers escaped punishment by one means or another. Nobody was really sent to prison for larceny. The only case of any of the crew becoming an inmate of a prison is that of Dr. Sinclair, who is a drug gist for 90 days, not for raiding pub lic oil lands, nor for interfering with the course of justice in the courts, hut for contempt of the senate in refusiug to answer questions pro pounded to him during the investiga tions. Cos thing is proved, however. It is possible to send a million dollars p >a in A? rio. - aMwgp ALICE IN SOCIALLAND. The senate may resolve, the diplo mats may agree; but the social war regarding the dinner status of Mrs. Gann, sister of our vice president, goes on apace. For what do decrees, resolutions, or decisions of mere man amount to, when the women are still to have their say? Alice Roosevelt Longworth, brilliant daughter of Theodore the Greater, and long a thorn in (he flesh of dwellers in I ; Washington who do not do as she would have them, has refused an in vitation to a j>arty where Mi's. Gann was to be seated where the biscuit, or whatever it is they eat f?r broad up there, are served the hottest. And the war over Mrs. Gann has broken out afresh. i We moved that the whole matter of Mrs. Gann's proper place at the dinner table be referred to a board of arbitration composed of Senator Tom Heflin, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Emily Pest, Sister Mable Walker Willebrant, and H. L. Menc ken. This would, give congress an op portunity to look after less import ant matters. ' \ I WHEAT INSTEAD OP TARES About forty years ago, in Jackson Co., tobacco, the weed, was raised from the seed, transplanted in the row, as 'twas meant to ."row, the I best of our laiul wat used for this plan. Then father and son, each and all, everyone went to, work with good cheer "Thirteen Mon.hs" of the year, hoping that when to market j they went, they would receive one1 hundred oer cent. J Tall barns wre eroded, ( h", "cur ed" night and ;'.*iy - every fellow, ?. that a rich brewn ilioy might obtain, I or a golden" yeih w. . Then with wage is piled hi; h with good weight and measure, o market they hied with their golden treaurc When at the warehouse tlicy ar rive, here itmust be classified. Then grading was do:ie by .ho 4 'Other Fellow", who spoke in feigned voice low and mellow - "Von have very, good stuff ot' the eommon kindl; but very little of first class grade J find. So he had to sell at half prioe tv | none, in preference to taking his load back home. So poor farmer returned with head bent low, " A lesson I've learned whercever I go." I I'll raise for my family something to J I in nourish their bodies and keep them sweet, that they cry not, as ; tfcey have, for bread and m?at, while 1 1 sowed tares when I should have sown wheat. | " So this is the reason for many years, for lack of food we've seen no tears but now we're advised by the" Upper Ten" to raise the vile stuff again to begin With it our children must in con stant contact be brought,and form the life long habit by their parents taught Although by school books it is de clared that by its use both mind and body arc impaired. So farmers of Jackson, whatever the need, ra is food for your children and not the vile weed to poison their bodies, their minds to impair ? "The Temple of God, whose te,mple ye are". MRS. J.

I ) m t Since we camc into this territory, various and sniulr. kinds of propoganda in various and sundry amounts and degixvs ?*!' vicionsness and malice has been perpetrated abont us. All we have to say regarding this is that, on the very l'aee of the whole truth it eniinatC3 from :i sad lack of knowledge of all the existing facts and the trend of future conditions. Further, we hold no malice against any individual or firm. Hut we will continue to do all we legitimately can to further our own business, as we have every right to do. Finally, the day has long | Mussed when any one can beat prices down. If and when this is tried there are a half do/en others rea-dy to jump in. F. B. Price, Jr. , Inc. SALISBURY, N. 0.
