FIVE DAYS WORK WOULD
COMPLETE HIGHWAY WORK
The paving project on Highway
10(i between Sylvn and Cullowhce
is. finished to a short distance on
the Sylva side of teh Love Ilill, and
but five more working days are need
ed to , eomplel^' it 4o the x corpora^
limits of Sylva". %
The Wilson Construction Company
is pouring concrete every day that
the wenther permits.
The work of laving the paving
would have been finished and the road
ojH'ii for traffic had we enjoyed the
usual autumn weather.
It has been erroneously refiorted
that the last 800 feet that was paved
froze, and had to bq taken np. The
weather did turn bitterly cold x im
mediately after the concrete was pour
ed: but the contractor protected and
saved his work, by covering the new
pavement with dirt and straw, and
by building bi&JireK "near it.
If favorable weather will hold
good for live days, we will yet have
our road open before Christmas.

Jackson People Urged
To Buy Christmas
Goods At Home
- \ 9 s
The Jourual, in- all seriousness, urg
es the people to look over the offer
ings of the shops hi the home town,
before going away to do Christmas
buying.
We believe that ths shops here arc
| most creditable. We know that they
arc equal to those of most towns of
i this size, and would do credit to
| s
( towns many times this size.
j We believe that you can come as
near getting full value for your dol
lar here as you can anywhere, and
'that it will buj^more here* than hi
most towns.
Decide on what vou want for those
c*. *
Christmas presents and carry your
j wants to your garage, your druggist,
! your jeweler, -your furniture mail,
your hardware dealer, your clothier,
your haberdasher, your department
store. The chances are ^hat von will
find just what you want. If it is
something unusual, tell your own
merchant about it, and let him get
it for you.
That is the sensible way to do the
thing, and it saves time trouble, and
in many cases, money.

J W. BAILEY WILL
OPPOSE SIMMONS
It Is only six months until Jane.
That is the month in which the pri
maries are held in North Carolina;
and we think we see some lively
times in the offing.
A few weeks ago Cam Morrison,
than whom there is none than w hom
er, when it comes to a scrap, threw
down the guantlet and declared war
upon the Senior Senator stating that
he will support any good man who
will bid for Senator Simmons' toga.
Ever since the unpleasantness of
1 1928 the i>olitically wise in the State
have had an eye cocked toward Ral
eigh, and an ear to the door of the
office of Josiah William Bailey, at
torney, Sunday School teacher, and
i politician.
Opposition to Senator Simmons,
and a friendliness to Bailey's candid
acy, should he indeed become a can
didate, have Somehow seemed to go
along together. An there has been a
strong undercurrent that has been
demanding that somebody oppose v
Mr. Simmons.
Other names have been mentioned,
Chief Justice Stacy, Judge Brogden,
and some others. Now Mr Bailey has
broken the long silence, by saying
that he is against his old chieftan,
Senator Simmons and fo r whoever
the party wants to oppose him. His
position is that he will support Stacy,
Brogden, or any other strong candid
ate, as against Simmons, and if no
other candidate offers, that he will
make the race himself.
The Journal never takes sides, or
rarely, in a primary fight; but Vc are
against Siiuir-ons, the same as we
have always been. We believe that
either Chief Justice Stacy or Mr.
Bailey would make a more suitable
candidate, and would better repre
sent the real North Carolina in the
Senate.
Coming down to county affairs,
there has been less talk abont candi
dates,, this close to the primary, than
we ever remember hearing before.
The Democrats hve have had two
