Kisliilis; regulations have been cn aeted 1'or the sole purpose of improv ing fishing conditions. They do not tak?- anyone's privileges, but rather protect the enjoyment of this sj?ort from those who would abuse and de-t strov recklessly without regard for the future. Wholesale and unwise in dulgence now means the extinction, of the s|M)rt by the depletion ol lish ? lite, with regret in the future. America is a great nation largely outdoors and recreation which build strong bodies virile minds, cha rac- ^ ter, and a love of mankind. A true sport sman is always a good e it i/en since a considerate attitude toward hclphss creatures signifies the same feeling toward man and the laws| governing the relations one with an other. luKid iishing means more attroet ive outdoors and additional lacili-, lies for recreation. Fishing laws are ponsed, first tor. the benefit of the fishermen them-J selves, who are the ones who^profit j most directly from the existence of; ii plentiful supply of fish; and sec-, ond, to protect the interest which; the entire people have in this natur al resource. Fish life, as Well as game,, is the property of nil the people, and ; when the supply is diminished the value of this ownership is reduced and everyone sutlers, more especial ly the fishermen. Individuals, there-' fore, owe a duty to the jieople not to abuse the privilege of fishing and to observe the laws set down tor. their guidance. Better fishing brings new money into a community. The section that offers good Iishing > attracts many visitors. It is estimated that every; fisherman attracted to the State for fishing spends an average of 0100 for each trip. These expenditures benefit every person %i\y the community dj~, reetly or indirectly. The hot^l keep er, the grocer, the hardware mer-j cluint, the fishing guide, the filling' station, the garage, and countless others benefit directly from the pres ence of the visitors. Fifteen years before a hatchery was established at Diamond Lake, in Oregon, there was not a fish in those waters. A hatchery was established; and regulations enforced, and each, year found an increasing number of tourists and fishermen visiting the district. In 1027 more than 2,00 non, residents fished on the !akc| These 'paid the State more that $6,000 in - license fees and spent more than. \f200,000 in the State, most of it be-1 ing left in the community around the lake. . i Oregon is now enjoying better nun-' ing than was to be had in the State ! 35 years ago. North Carolina has, fully as'great, if not greater, oppor-l tunitV to develop fishing. Slate pruto,, love of s|K>rt, and financial profit j should stimulate her citizens to sur-j I pass the Oregon record. ^ J continuing through the month of.Tunc having Pentecost as its central theme j Sundav morning* at Sylva and in I'l,,, (>Vc -i ,r' ;<t Di'lsboro the subject, I of the sermon will be, "Preparation j ! for Pentecost" vPentccost is the real birthday of the church. It is, there fore, very fitting that, the J9th cen-, tenia! should be appropriately cel ebrated. The public is invited to join in with the congregations of the charge in the recognition of this event, which should be continuous m the life of the Church. Church schools convene promptly it 10 a. m. FfiLcagnc in the evening at 7 o'clock. THE WEEK (Bv Dan Tompkins) 1 By u vote of 257 to 124, j Bishop I |intiUK Cannon .Jr., was reelected to ^.te Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Service. Hisses, and cries ! ' ** wet" and *' Tammany'' were furled at the delegates who opposed the Bishop. Such conduct and epi thets might he expected from the yowdy element in a heated political convention,; but in a religious con gregation, positively disgusting. Just another example of the lengths to which fanaticism will lead even good people. There must be something going on from which it is necesessary to divert the minds of the people,?again the House committee is to make an in vesication of the "Reds". Propaganda attacking the Democ racy of Mr. Bailey has been spread broadcast over this section of the State. Mr. Bailey's reply is: '' I have never voted the Republican ticket. 1 have never voted for a Re publican. I did not support Govern or Russell. The Democratic general assembly of 1899?the white suprem acy legisature, elected me to office. The Democratic state convention of 19<>8 nominated me eleetor-at-largc. President Wilson appointed, me United States collector of internal revenue in 1913. I have canvassed for the Democratic party in every election for 22 years. My Democracy has never been questioned before''. Eleven persons killed and more than twenty injured in automobiles was the last weekend toll in North Carolina. So this is civilization! Anions; other contributions to the Simmons campaign fund is a dona tion of^$1,900 from William G. Mc Adoo, whose present home is in Cal- ( ifornia. I have the kindest of feel ings and considerable admiration ,foT_ MV. McAdoo; hut I am unable to see what a Californian has to do with a senatorial primary in North Carolina. Prohibition enforcement has been transferred from the Treasury De partment to the Department ot Jus tice, where it should have been all the time. Deets Pickett of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition, ami Public Morals, of the Methodist Kpiseopal; Church (X orthern), testified before ? Congressional committee that the light to elect Hoover "was won by tin- churches, the W. C. T. U., and the Anti-saloon League". And yet Mr. Priekett, a the same investiga tion, before the same committee, stat ed that the churches are not and have not been engaged in political activities. The Supreme Court handed down a decision holding that it is not a violation of the federal prohibition laws to buy liquor, provided the ques tion of transportation and illegal poscssion is not involved. That is the hardest blow the dry cause has received in many a day. Hold your breath now until the dry President rushes a message to the dry Congress on the subject, and the dry Congress corrects the defect in the law. The construction of a tobacco warehouse in Asheville, to care for the anticipated Western North Caro lina crop of between four and five million pounds of hurley, will begin within a short time. Growing hurley tobacco is becoming a real money maker in the mountain country, and will continue to be a source of reve nue, provided the fanners don't over do the thing, to the neglect of pas tures, trucking, food and feed crops, dairying, and other lines of agricul tural endeavor. The soil is the source of wealth and sustenance to which our people must turn; and a balanc ed farming program properly execut ed, is our financial salvation. Knox vi lie ami Charlotte Prcsbv eries sought the withdrawal of the Southern Presbyterian church from the Federal Council of Churches of j Christ in America. The reason for ! the requested action was mostly the political activities of the Federal : Council, "upon questions which i eiirist did not commission the church to settle*'. The movement lost; but 1 an investigation of the Council, fofr I report, next year, was adopted. Dick Byrd's Back vooy* - 0ttA Rear-Admiral Byrd photographed i ?!

FROST DOES MUCH DAMAGE IN SOUTHERN TOWNSHIPS .Considerable damage to corn, po tatoes, and other growing eroi>s, by' , frost, during the <ool spell, the first of this week, in Hamburg, Mountain and Cana la townships, and at points of high altitude at other places in ;the county. The sections of the county most .seriously affected by the frost are, where trucking is carried on most ex- i Itensively and most profitably. j 40 YEARS AGO (Tuekaseige Democrat May 28 1890) Mr. John A. Moons, speaking for the Ixmisiana Lottery Company of- \ fern! the legislature $1,000,000 a year for the extension of the chart er of the company for .25 years. Two Mormon elders, tramping through Washington and Holmes counties, Louisiana, were making con- ? siderable progress proselyting, espec ially among young, unmarried women. A party of eight women was secured and the elders started back to Utah. The father and brother of two of; the girls, with a neighbor, whose wife was among the ''converts", followed them, whipped the elders unmerciful ly, and tired u|ion them as they fled into a swam]>. The pirls were brought back, and every one of them was well switched, their parents making them whip each other. Hon. John (i.

Cooper, of Cherokee, are contesting for I he solicitorship of this judicial district. The only state-wide race that is attracting any attention is that lor United Slates Senator between Sen ator Simmons and J. W. Bailey. Ap parently sentiment in the count\ is so overwhelmingly for Bailey, that little discussion of the race is heard, nit hough Senator Simmons has some substantial supporters, and it is nob ni ways wise to judge things political from surface indications. Everybody has apparently forgotten that Mr. Thomas L. F-step, who is running on ii platform opposing the National Prohibition laws, is in the race. The Republicans are trying the novel sensation of a state-wide pri mary for United States Senator with Representative (icorgo Pritchard Major <Jorge Butler, Ervin Tucker, ami Rev. W. H. Dorsett engaging in a four-cornered bout. Very little is heard, herealwuts concerning this in teresting and unusual sjiectacle. 1 he congressional convention of the Re publicans, which met at Biyson City a few weeks ago, endorsed George Pritchard, but there "is uncjuestiou ablv some Republican opposition in this county to promoting the cong ressman from this District to the upper House. It is not known who the Republi can candidate for solicitor will be; but it is generally believed that this will depend ujioii the outcome of the Democratic primary, the RepiUt licans placing in the field, whom th^v believe will prove the strongest jftp jiositioii to the Democratic nomiiirtc. If Haywood's Democratic majority in the November elation should drop to near the figure that it was in 19'J8 and if the Democratic vote in the counties west of the Balsams should not show an increase, then the Re publicans would stand a chance, !<?? the first time in many years, to el ect a solicitor. The Republican ticians have their eves on the situ ation, and are going to play their cards to win an office that has been in the hands of the Democrats sino the days of Jim Mood v. started by syiontaneous combust i? ? in a pile of paper, in the plant i' the Sylva Paywrboard Company, f noon yesterday.
