Jackson county journal DAN TOMPKINS, EDITOR Published Weekly By The JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered as second class matter at SyJva, N. C. Yes, they bit right well, Tuesday. The fishing .season came within the promised .sixty days, anyway. . SUCH IMPUDENCE . Speaking ot' impudence, the Negro! Society for the Advancement of Col- j ored People presuming to -say to the Resident and Senate of the United' States who is and who is not fitted! to be appointed to the Supreme, Court Bench heads the list. We can imagine Old Hickory say-j ing, if lie were there, ''This is a white man's country, and by the1 Eternal, white men are going to run! t 9 ; . i There hi've long been too many or" ganizations making good living forj their officers by trying to help the i duly elected representatives of th?, |H-ople run the affairs of the govern.' ment. .Most of thrni are impertinent; but when a few Negro organizations, seriously threaten the confirmation j of an appointee to the Supreme, Court because he once said what cv- j crylKwly who is conversant with the! farts knows, iluit the Negro race is i uot yet iitted to participate in polii tics, it is time for somebody to callj their hand. EASTER "U ?<* nihit die, sluill he live' again?" sighed -lob, way back when1 the world was young. The wail o?| the ma u has come down the centuries 1 tut one answer has been vouchsaf ed by the years, and that answer is imt in the* realm of science, the mind til man, nor tin1 ratiocinations of the reasoner. It can ouly be found at the empty tomb iu the Garden of one Joseph of Aramilhea, just outside the ancient city of the Je>vg. As the years come and go, one by one, those we have known ami loved pass through the shadows and are no more. Our hearts yearn for the gentle smiles, the hearty hand clasps and the sweet companionship that was but is not, and Faster, glorious, happy Easter comes to us with a clearer, sweeter meaning each spring time, for more of those we loved have left us here. What of them? Shall our eyes ever again least ujhmi the sight of t hose i From a million ravished cities, from bloody battle fields, long since forgotten, from peaceful beds of those who gently fell on sleep, have trone a omit less caravan. All were known and loved. Shall thi' countless cities of the silent dead, shall the nameless graves in far places of the earth, shall the depths of the seven seas ever again i * liiu|iiish the ir priceless treasure, and give us back those we lovef TI "'y shall. Of this, Faster and the Finpty Tomb bring <*ood tidings of great joy. j We do not speculate. We do not guess.-\Ve know, by faith in Ihe re, ydeeuiing jxiwer of .ludah's Lion, that1 dead shall live again. Kejoicc and be exceeding jjlad, for 'Now is Christ risen from ^1 he dead", * and if, by the power of J lis own ini^ht lli could push back the icy hand of the Last Rneiny from dim self, and break the sealed tomb, by that same jiower, can and will He awaken the cities of the dead, and send new and glorious life that is .Immortal through the veins of those who are beyond our present vision, and we shall see them again, when,' in the fullness of time His good ? piranie wills it so. j NEWLYWEDS THANK US Fdiior Journal?We wish to q\. pre** our apreeiation for the sij; months u Inscription to your {nnpe-r i We enjoy having and reading it.

Do we often think on Faster morn, as shadows pass and new day is born, this day that brinsrs light and joy in its wake, to all who repent and their ins forsake, I too mfcht visit ?t break of flay, the empty tomb \. ....???' A .Ma FPANKPARKE 1 | BAKER George1 F. Baker celebrated his i ninetieth birth Jay the other ikiy. He is still the active head of the First National Bank <?t New York, one of the world's greatest financial institu tions, in which he owns a controlling interest. George L'aker was a country boy on Crpe Cod v,lien he heard his uncle tell ;i!-o:it Sei; Jit:-* n:< i;ty out at inter est. It struck the boy as a new idea that you cmid I'n1.': yotir money work for yotj. He resolved then to go into the business of making money earn money. He has never b**?u a speculator, a iircnwr or av-ythiiig hut a banker. l?vif ot'ier hanker in New York jo.;!;s up to h'm and relies upon his j .^f.mcnt. He never made a speech, ll- .says that most of the talking peo f !e do is unnecessary. But when he nvs "no" to a man who wants to bor ; ,)\v money from him it is as convinc ing as if lie hail talked for an hour. * ? i* I CHICKS" ! I went to a movie theatre the other ! right a tul saw a "comedy" which made jie Iniil X- was a_ "talkie" takrn direct Jrpn? the vaudeville stage, and it repre sented the people of a country town in caricature of costumes which might have been worn forty years ago, and with manners, dialect anil habits which prevail nowhere in the United States today. ? I live a good part of the time and vote at every election in a country town of a few hundred inhabitants. It is distinctly rural, yet its people are as up-to-date in their clothes and as correct in their manners and speech as well-bred people in any city; much more so than the general, run of New j Yorkers. Yet New York and the j other cities get their impression of small towns from such movies as this one. t No wonder they call village folk "hicks." They forg.et that the men who head the business enterprises of their cities?New York. Chicago and all the rest?nine times out of ten grew up in these country villages and have proved themselves better than city-bred folks in the competitive game of life. ? * * MOVIES According to Mr. Will H. Hays, President of the Association of Mo tion Picture Producer?, the movies are going to clean themselves up again. They are going to eliminate indecency . and suggestiveness, incen tives to vice and crime and about everything else that censors have ob ) jected to. ? That is all very good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough. What the movies need more than any thing else is some relation to real life. Their real danger to the young is the false impression they give of the way in which people of different kinds an<l classes act and live. Elmer Bice lias written, a. book-. "A Voyage to Purilia," in which lie satir izes the movie standards of trath morals and ethic? It is a Iwk wh;clj everyone concerr.ed with tiic training of children ought to read and profil by. ? * ? <? HOUSING The British Government proposes to rebuild all of the unsanitary dwellings in the British I&les. The program will take forty years. Owners can be com pelled, under this plan, to tear down old houses and rebuild them. We rebuild everything every forty years- That is the average life of a building in America. Many dwellings are much older than that; I live in Winter in one that was built in New York about 100 years ago and in Sum mer in a farmhouse that is 144 years old. But ideas of construction, sani tation and the utilization of space change so rapidly that most people W.ant a new house every twenty years or so. % ? ? DIET * Members of Congress are eating a new diet; recommended by Dr. J. W. Calver, the physician to the House of Representatives, as being the best food' for brain-workers in warm weather. One of the popular new diet dishes is served on a single plate in the iioose ? restaurant and consists of raw carrots and raw cabbage, chopped small aid served in tomato jelly, rye toajt, Philadelphia cream cheese, a baked apple and either tea, coffee, milk or buttermilk. The tea is served with lemon and one lump of sugar, tka coffee is half milk. ? The realization that people who take no exercise should not ml selves with starches and meat if coming, general whore once Christ Isiy. Thai I with the women and Peter and John, might behold that His body had ris en and >?one from the sepulchre that for three days held His remains, tho' now and forever has lost its cluiins. Or if, like Mary in days of old, the augels in white I could be hold and hear them speak, "Doubt >101 nor I'ear, the Christ is risen, H? is not here". If I walked in the gar den F would rejoice. Could I bow at His feet and hear His voice snyin? to me <l (Jo now proclaim to my di triples, I live again'. .j. .'li. "? ? ? V zlL if -1 . >BRU? fciifcr Ctofl IIIS is the business record of John Snmn, who is now forty-one. _ _ ? He started work on a newspaper, and while he was there, he pieced out his income by stlling real-estate. Then he transferred into the Ijond business and sold insurance on the side. He is now selling wall-paper, which, according to him, is such a poor job that be has to carry samples of floor-wax and a patent attachment for radiators in order to keep going. John is honest and hard-working. His complaint about the meager returns which tlie^ business world has given him called a friend of mine to make an investigation. It revealed the following facts: One of the men who started on the newspaper with John Smith is now part owner of the paper and has an income of more than twenty-five thousand dollars a year. Real-estate has steadily advanced in the city where John Smith played with real-estate as a side-line, and a number of real-estaters. no older or smarter than John, are now very well-to-do. lloth the insurance business and the bond business have prospered in John's old town, providing automobiles and comfortable homes for several men who were formerly his 'colleagues. As for wall-paper. I myself happened to be riding with the sales manager of a wall-paper company a few days after ?Jhearing John's story. "1 understand your business is a poor business," I said. "Does anybody ever make a really good thing out of it?" Said he: "Old Adrian Meeker is the best answer to that, lie worked for us as a salesman for twenty years. Hard territory !his was, too. The other day he retired with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and took his family out to California." f * So it seems that each of the businesses which John Smith tried on the side has been very good to the people who stayed with it on full time. 1 J. C. Penney told me the other day about a young man who might have been one of his first partners. The young man played the trombone and uar> compelled to leave the store early every night because he made five dollars a week by tooting his horn in an orchestra. He is still tending store in the daytime and tefbting at night. Mr. Penney is the head of more than eight hundred stores. There are men who have made fortunes by running boot black stands, by buying junjc from automobile factories, and even by contracting with a city to collect its garbage. Almost any business seems to be a good business if a man gives it all he's got. ? ftut tse side-line is the slide-line. ? .. ?? Now, why so s;ul, so anxious bo, hat such was not mint* (o see. Should _ doubts this Em stor day arise to ilinr the brightness of our skies? Cae we not trust, Jlifi word receive, that ''Hlessed are they that have (Ol seen, yet have believed M.' If in our hearts He lives and reiyi s 'tis ours to know He lives aga'.i. When if .by Him we're daily lo?'. our souls on heavenly manna led, it jlonco and .joy with us remain, the promised Comforter we can 'claim, with Job ol old, what joy it gives to sav "That Mv Hedeemer lives". FROM COWARTS iv I i tor Jackson County Journal :? : Well, I have li\?m1 through iimny .-hanges' in our ^overimient, and have heard all the presidents and congress es cursed by somebody; when we w;mv the ones that were to blame. It is at home in State and county; and it is true of nil the States, regard less of.politics. There is a cause; and, as I see it this way: When the World War came it stirred every nation to some extent, and in the United States it was necessary to run the price up wonderfully on everything. We had, all could do to a mark tin-' iieaid of; and the demand for lalior was so great, to do our part, that it took the women, and es|>cci;tlly la bor and salaries in offices went so high that we were feeling ourselves in a wonderful state of prosperity. That spirit (-..used graft in many lines, and it was without competition. The war closed, and, of necessity, the price on all things tell oft, au.l iirst of all on wages and profit, so iien are not so ei'iicient on cut .wag 'S, and they fell into a state of ad versity, except man\ that had got ten on top* That made two distinct .das.ses of men- the upper ami under ?jirrent. Now all men that do no manual labor are held together in the upper current, and they are so organ ized that they cut out competition jn the necessities of life, ami now, because we have some competition through the chain stores and a few i lews, they had to coriie down some; I but yet they inTer that if we trade i with them, they will have nothing to do with us. Well, as for "me, I am an Ameeiran, ^nd believe in freedom of will, and will so a?t; but I wish, in their light against them, they would put up a better bait to me than that the chain stores pay no taxes and send their money to New York; when many of oitr merchants go to New York and other big cities ont of what we call our county and |spend their money there. Lot's prne i tico what we preach more. ! We are now like all other na tions, full of idle men, and there are ' small men cutting wages of old hands ! on peanut- jobs; and we fcavc been \ h ,Vs ; taxed so high that it is setting men roiifrh. They look at their tax receipts ami see in many cases that their school tax is half the amount. They they look at the children in School and learn the system ol' the school, hi iiiiiHiiiitiiiiiiiiii nim iim mini mum iii i ami sco so much idleness ami some- , at liicli Mountain i?? i ?* ' ?
