THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKINS) '
Senators McKeller of Tennessee, i
aiul Blease of South Carolina humph
ed bitter attack upon the method of
distributing federal patronage in ''i
South as practiced by the Republi
can party. President. Hoover, virtual
ly admits that, the charges have been
true, when he says that he changed
all that by executive order on March
20, 1929.

Somebody up in congress has pro-,
posed a plan to tax the stock gamb- j
lers out of business.
It has bven suggested that the
reason the politicians up in Wnsh
ingto keep kicking up so much dust
about prohibition is to keep the evcsj
of the jieople of! their real troubles.}
Thomas A. Edison says that, he i
doesn't expect to live to he 100; but
that he docs expect to stay here
long enough to' see goldenrod be
come a source of rubber supply. '
They are still trying the Teapot
Dome oil scandals, and as far as
they have ever gotten was when they
gavi< Harry Sinclair a Jiitch in jail
for ontcmpt of the sjenatc, something
nearly all of us have been more or
less guilty of, at one time or s,in
other. This week they rre 'trxiiig I'O

action was merely n matter of a

like, ii friend with that mvtch to let
its heave for a few days on a per
sonal note. 1

THIEVES ROB
FILLING STATION
Tin; locks on the gas twins and oil
at McCoy's Filling! Station at the
junction of Main street, Keener
street, Mill street, Savannah road,'
and Highway No, 10, were broken,
on Tuesday] nicrht, and an undeter
mined quantity ofl gasoline and oil
stolen.
Lust week John A. I'arris' jewel
ry store was rol>bed of near $1,000
worth of watches and jewelry.
Other robberies have occurred here
in recent months, notably those of
The Man Store, and Stovall's Fruit
Stove.
Petty pilfering ' of cars for gaso
line and hen roosts tor fowls has
been going on hereabouts for many
months, in fact the chicken steeling!
business once became quite an indus-j
try. !
If our readers will pardon our ns-j
ing the news columns for editorial
izing, The .Journal would like ti sav,!
* i
in this counetien, that it is more j'
than time that such practices! were
slopped. There are young men, who!
are not known to strike a lick of|
work, who have no visible means of!
support, mid yet who drive automo
biles up and down the streets and
highways. The fuel for motors has
to come from some where; but wej
see no reason why, thegood citizens'
of the eonununitv should furnish it.'

The indifference of the jjeople of;
Sylva aud vicinity in regard to their
attendance upon religious services is
ar source of keen regret to those who
believe that it is not only an inesti
mable privilege, but an imperative
duty to go to church, at least on
Sunday, even though it might require
some sacrifice. A properi observance
is commendable, and the habit oft
church going never leads to harm.'
Staying away very often does.

REVIVAL STARTS
HERE NEXT WEEK
The revival services which began
on Monday night at East SyKa
Baptist church have grown in inter
est and attendance through the
week until a few felt that the series
ought to he moved down town
where a larger auditorium could be
secured to accommodate the crowds
which have filled the little East Syl
va church to overflowing each nighr.
The matter was mentioned to the
local pastors, .1. (iray Murray ami
George . Ck-miucr, and they offered
the use of either of the down town
churches for the continuation of
these efforts that have been so suc
cessful in East Sylva.

of the East Sylva church, and his
son, Kev. Harve Stansberry, of Ashe

church of A>heville, and Ls well and
favorably known ini this section of
the state.

been selected because of its larger
auditorium. There will be day serv
ices at some hour in the mornings.
