THE WEEK
(By Dan Tompkins^
The papers have been full of stuf f
about the wedding of John Cooiidge
and Miss Florence Trumbull.Just why
the marriage of a New England coup
le should be considered of enough im
portance to demand columns of front
page space in newspapers a thousand
miles from the scene of the nuptials,
is not quite dear.
Buncombe county is to have a Re
corder's court. Ouy Weaver Was sena
tor from Buncombe and Don Young a
representative elected to the General
Assembly, when that Democratic hold
went Republican, last fall. They pass
ed the act creating the Recorder's
court. Now Senator Weaver is to be
the judge of the court, at a salary of
$4,800 a year, and Mr. Young is to
get $2,400 a year in addition to his
salary as county attorney, for being
the court's solicitor. Mr. Newton M.
Anderson, chairman of the board of
commissioners of Buncombe, express
ed the belief that the court would lx
a source of revenue to the county. I
is a new doctrine that courts should
be judged by the amount of cash the)
produce. The traditions of free men
and of organized government among
English speaking peolpes have always
been that courts are established to
find out the truth of matters and
things coming before them, regardless
of what the cost may be in either
money or infinite pains, and then to
deal out justice.
Oscar de Priest, Negro congressman
from Chicago, speaking before the
Negro Republican Club in Seattle,
Wash., gave the following political ad
vice -to the members of his race:
"Don't take pay as a. campaign work- ^
er. If you are paid eleetion day, you.
! ?an't go to a jmrtyoouncil later and
daim it still owes yon something, ij
worked two years and spent $15,000 of
my own money doing preliminary
work for Bill Thompson, now our
mayor. When I started he asked me
how mueh I needed, and I told him
nothing ? that when the pie was
cut, I would point out my piece. I
did." Comment upon such political
philosophy, as practiced in Chicago,
is unnecessary, in view of Chicago's
record. However, the impudence of
de Priest should not go unpunished;
and if Senator Heflin will carry out
his announced intention of throwing ;
de Priest out of the senate rest
rooms, the first time he shows up
there, we will forgive Senator Hef
lin most of the hard things we have
said about him.
A Negro Jjank in Wilson has beenl
;losed by the bank examiner for the
jtate; which reminds us of the story
>f the old Negro who deposited $10.
n a Negro bank, one Saturday, and
?eturned the following Saturday to
jet his money, and was told by the
lusky cashier' that the interest had
'done et np his ten spot". I
The textile workers at Elizabethton
Tenn., voted against a strike by a to
tal of 2,883 against and 255 for. The
organizers were not satisfied with the
result and are holding another ballot

ton has had enough striking for the
nonce.

Shipbuilders charged with employ
ing William . Shearer to lobby for
their interests at the Qeneva Naval
Limitations Conference, which col

cal seem like "fool ideas", afterwe
are caught and they are brought out
into the light of day.
Governor Gardner has offered a re
ward of $400.00 for evidence suffici

MAY PAVE 106 ;
INTO SYLVA
< \ * ? - <
A conference of county an5 city of
ficials with Highway Commissioner
James G Stikeleather will probably
be called within, the next few days*
looking to the extention of the pav
ing contract on highway 106 from the
corporate limits of Sylva to the in
I terseetion of 106 with Highway Wo.
10.
If the paving should stop at the
city boundary line, as is contemplat
ed in the present contract, a little
more than half a mile of the roughest
and most! traveled part of the high
jway would left in its present con
dition, it is pointed out, and that in
addition the burden of its mainte
nance would shift from the State to
the "county..
However, civic leaders . in Sylva,
Dillsboro, Cullowhee, and other places
in the county believe that satisfactory
arrangements for the extention of
the paving, into Sylva can be worked
out, through a conference with the
Highway Commissioner fox this dis
trict.
ASHES TO HOLD REUNION
The Ashe family will meet at the

Judge Stacy, chief justice of the
North Carolina Supreme Court, may

Democratic primary, next spring, it

"HOW COME?" ? PASTOR'S
THEME NEXT SUNDAY
"The basis of one's obligation to
the church" will be the subject which
the pastor, Rev. George Clemmer, will
discuss in the Methodist churches of
Sylva and Dillsboro Sunday morning
and evening.
This theme was suggested to the
pastor by the inquiry of a young man
who had just received a statement,
in regard to his assessment, from the
treasurer of the church, "How come
I owe the church anything!". The
pastor recognizes this as a fair ques
ton. In the sermon Sunday he pro- .
poses to answer it.
Every member of the church is urg
ed to be present. The public generally
is invited. Special music by the choir.
Sunday is the last day in September
and in the Sunday school year. Come
to this last session and get the lite
rature for the new Church school
year beginning the first Snudav in
October.
The hour of the evening service in
Dillsboro is changed from 8 to 7.30.
