frHB JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAI . DAN TOMPKINS, Editor PabUaked Weekly by The JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO Entered u second class matter a* By lva, N. C. ' ' Coolidge Glad toJ3ee Prosperity". Yes, we would be delighted ourselves. And now the North Carolina Feder aion of Labor refuses to recognize Gastonia. ~~ ! One way of seeing things is for Am erica to save its financial hide by a heavy duty on leather. The Tuckaseigee Baptist Associa tion is 100 years old, but it is just in the infancy of its usefulness. North Carolina is always starting something. The first successful air plane flight was made at Kitty Hawk. The danger is that the average An.erican will merge like Jonah did with the fish, and/ unlike Jonah will not emerge. 1 ? i, The cnly trouble about applying the big business idea to farming is that in these mergers it is usually a case of the big fisli swallowing the little ones. Its tough on a fellow to have to put in his birthday trying to fill up a column or two in a newspaper, es pecially when he is getting along. The Asheville Times tells the whole story of education, this way: " The old log school house is disappearing from North Carolina, and* with it goes an intimate knowledge of how to spell ". The juryl did its duty in the case of Dr. Snooks, and did it quickly. The burden is now upon the courts and the attorneys, who will probably wear it out in delays, motions, and appaeals, to Bay nothing of requests for commu tation and pardon. The Augusta Heral^ of Monday re cords three several automobile acci dents, in that citv# in which one of the cars involved was driven by an "unknown party." It is easy enough to see the cause. Almost every time that more than onei person attempts to drive the same car a smash re sults. - So far as we have been able to learn, a high tariff duty has been proposed on everything except hick ory leaves and blackberries. These two items must be included, the first for the protection of the manufactur ers of natural leaf chewing tobacco, and the seeondf for the benefit of the home brew industry. Bishop Cannon has gone to Europe tq get a rest from politics, so we will say nothing further about him until his return, despite the fact that the Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Service, meeting way down in Arkansas, the other day, again abro gated uiit.o itself au exclusive func tion of the General Conference, of which it is supposed to be a creature, not a boss, and tried, and| applied, through a resolution, an immaculate coat of white wash to the blameless Bishop of Politics. HARRIS BUYS HARRIS Lyles Harris, former county agent of Macon county, has bought the Franklin Press from Maj. S. A. Har ris, and will publish the Macon paper. ' Mr. Harris, or Editor Harris, is| well acquainted with Macon county,' its possibilities and its problems, and will, no doubt, publish a sheet that will great service for our neighbor county. The Journal hastens to be the first to welcome Mr. Harris into the great and suffering fraternity of country journalism. A 30 CENT TAX CUT It will certainly prove most wel come and relieving news to Jackson County tax payers that they are to be the beneficiary of a tax reduction of some 30 cents on the hundred dol lars valuation of property, effective in the 1929 general levy. This inform ation is unofficial, but is believed to be substantially correct. In addition to this relief in the general county rate there will be a out of from 5 to 10 cents in the rate in special school districts. The Journal pointed out, last win N ter, that the general assembly was cQd ing a great service in^ making such re dactions possible in the counties. We now rejoice in the fruits of its labors. We have been waiting none -too' hopefully, for Mr. Hooter to get around to the journalists, in his pro-l gram of abolishing poverty. In fact, the profession would be a fine spec imiue for him to practice jon. HIGH SCHOOLS GRADUATED 12,000 DURING FAST TEAR Raleigh, Aug. 14. ? More than 12,000 I white boys and girls gradnated -from the public high schools of the State at the end of the year just closed, it is revealed from tabulations eom 1 pleted and released today by the State Superintendent of Public In struction. A total 12,145 finished^ this year and 11,278 the previous session, or an increase of 867 graduates dur ing a year's time. ^ Of the total number of pupils who graduated this past year, 7,795 "were ' from rural schools and 4,350 from special charter or city schools. The year 1927-28 there were 7,073 rural and 4,245 city graduates of white high [ schools. In other wordsj the number 'of rural graduates increased firing one year's time 10.2 per cent, or ex actly throe times the jiercentage that city schools increased. Comparing this year's figures with those of five years ago, 1923-24, there is found a 75 per cent increase in he total number of white public high school graduates. In 1923-24 the total .lumber of graduates of the, white high schools was nearly 1,000 less than the graduates of only rural schools this year. * I The largest number of graduates from the rural schools in any one county was Buncombe, where 273 boys and girls were given diplomas or cer tificates of graduation from high school. Johnston County liaoj a total of 231 white high school graduates, and Mecklenburg had 210. There were only t'i\ r graduates of rural high schools in Scotland County, 15 in, Chowan and 16 in Camden. There was not a county that did not have at least one standard rural high school sending out its graduates. I liost- Sheaf fer's Fountain Pen, Color green. Has initials "D. T.' 1 engraved on side.

ABRAHAM MOORE ^ ' ' Whereas, on June 17, 1929, it pleas the Great Architect of the Universe, who doeth all things well, to call onto himself our beloved brother Abraham Moore from this transitory existence to that which eudureth forever: Therefore be it resolved: | 1st. That in the taking away of Brother Moore the community has lost an exemplary character, whose absence we mourn, an<T whose place in our hearts can be filled only by the recollection of his kind' nature, his many virtues, and his nobility of character. 2nd. That in the death of Brother Moore, Unaka Lodge, No. 513 A. F. and A. M. has lost one of its truest members, a good man, and a true Mason. 3rd. That when we grieve over our loss, we submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and we com mend his spirit to Go<\ who gave it. We are confident that he is resting from his labors here. 4th. That we extend to his bereav ed family our sincere sympathy in this their hour of grief, with the as u ranee we will be ever ready to ex tend to them sympathy and help needed. 5th. That a copy of these resolu tions be spread upon the records of this Lodj^e, a copy sent to the be reaved family, a copy to the Jackson County Journal, and a copy to the Orphans Friend and Masonic Journal, for publication.

Renew Your Heaith By Purification Any physician will tell you that "Perfect Purification of the Sys tem is Nature's Foundation of Perfect Health."

Calotabs are the greatest of all system purifiers. Get a family package with full directions. On 1 ly 35 cts. at drugstores. (Adv). in > A REVERIE ?Years ago a beloved poet wrote, "There's nothing true ? but heaven." This, after saying how deceitful were the smiles of joy and the tears of woe. To my then youthful soul, the poet's words rang in the sweetest of chimes. Something at last would prove true! Last week I read in a well-known publication the cold state ment of a professional writer and orofound theorist that this thing we call heaven is nothing more than a film of the fancy ; that there is not an iota of ground for any such belief ; that the idea is too silly, even for respectable fiction. He would have it that way. He would wipe away at one sweep, the prop that has sustained many a pure- life to the very margin of the grave under the weeping willows. This modern wise man did not waste any time on the smiles of deceit, or the baby-tears of imaginary woe, although there is much that he might have said to (he edification of the human race ; but he aimed his poisonous shafts at the most precious of promises. He seemed to float in his ability to tear down something pure, beautiful, good, reassuring. The heaven of which I have been hearing from my childhood up, has been one of the strongest of incentives working within me, to make of me a better man. I cannot think of a single atom of harm that my belief in a heaven has done me or any one else about me. I am persuaded that such a belief can never harm me. Just why any individual should buckle on his sword and rush to my rescue from such a belief, is too deep for me to fathom. Per haps he has nothing else to do. And wants to be busy at something notoriously vivid. So far as I am concerned, he has wasted his time and energy, though he may realize the few cents the editor paid him for filling the page sensational. I am for anything that goes to make men better, not worse. Aren't you? j ? NOTICE WEEKLY POULTRY SALE We are Here every week Regardless h B. Price, Jr., Inc. Salisbury, N.
