Daisy's friends here send her their heartiest congratulations. It was our good fortune to be at Dillsboro this morning when the ma chinery of the Blue Ridge Lumber Company was set in motion for the first time. Everything worked satis factorily and a log was taken from the river and turned into merchant able lumber with great rapidity. Next week's Democrat will contain an article descriptive of this great enterprise, which is one of the fin est mills in the South, its history, its plant capacity, etc., which we are sure will prove very interesting reading, i FARMERS WILL SHIP CAR OF LAMBS THIS WEEK The farmers of Jackson county will make a cooperative shipment of Iambs to the Cincinnati market 011 Saturday of this woek, through the Jackson County Farmers Mutual Ex change.

Anti-Hoover Campaign Is Begun Early (Special to The Journal) Washington, I>. C., July 22.?Pros idftnt Hoover's statesmanlike hand ling ot the debt holiday, which was entirely his own brainchild, has had the unexpected .ei'i'fect of starting up the anti-llodver campaign which had not been expected before the coming winter. Instead, when his opponents found he had reestablished himself in the favor of a majority of the voters by his position on reparations, they decided to open the attack im mediately. As a consequence the country is be ing treated to virulent attacks on the President. Most of them date bark to happenings several years ago. One of them, which wis featured in one [of the most powerful Democratic pa ! pers in the country, harks back to ! the story that Mr. Hoover had prae [ ticnlly decided to run for President i on the Democratic ticket when Henry Cabot Lodge got to hiiu and turned him :utp a Republican. The story docs not lack for con vincing details, which tells of the in tim.icv that .existed between him and Gov. i-'ranklin 1). Roosevelt, then As sistant Secretary of the Navy, and Franklin D. Lane. It adds -a deft touch by telling how Mi's. Hoover and Mrs. Koosevelt used to prepare their modest Sunday suppers with their own hands) while their hus bands chatted. It then tells how Lodge converted hitn and Mr. Hoover "became ,a Republican, at least in name." Another paper, also unfriendly to the Hoover policies, goes 011 to re late that President Coolidge practic ally paved the way for his successor by his famous hesitation, when asked to run again, and allowed it to he in ferred that he might stand for being drafted. Meanwhile, the gossip runs, Mr (Joolidge secretly told- Mr. Hoov-. er that he would not run and the latter then laid his plans for the nomination. By this inside informa- i tion, Mr. Hoover was the only candi-| date ready when the " 1 do not choose j to run" statement was issued. It gave! him a. walkover, the article says. And! it adds, not without a touch of ma lice, that Mr. Coolidge actually did; not like Mr. Hoover, backing it upj with some corroboration. ! The President's advisers look od the campaign none too seriously and apparently have warned Air. Hoover that any reply would he had poli tics. The only reaction to the cam paign, if it can he called such, was President Hoover's attack on short sellers of wheat, whom he charac terized, by inference, as unpatriotic and unjustifiably selfish. He elim inates from his condemnation those j men, like farmers and legitimate [ dealers, who are actually the owners) of wheat and who sell short in or-* der to hedge. The step was taken be yond question in an effort to curry favor with the farmers. Kansas' bumper crop, whioh is again beyond expectations, has had an immediate effect in sending the 1 price of wheat down still more, until; the old fetish of dollar wheat has \ been iost sight of in the fact that almost four bushels can be bought for that figure. The Department of Agriculture, which urged lessened pro duction at the start of this year, only to have its admonition go un heeded, now says that wheat will go still lower next year unless a thirty per cent reduction is planted. Political observers here assert wheat has ceased to be a concern for politicians and has moved over to the field of economics. Unless: farm ers cut down their acreage next year they will hardly get enough out of their 1932 crop to pay for their seed. Already there are sijrns that Kansas will go in more heavily for cattle, pigs and poultry next year and de clare u "wheat moratorium" in or der to allow demand to catch up with supply. V , - 1 One measure designed to afford relief to people living outside of the I great cities has been adopted bv the | Interstate Commerce Commission, which has authorized the Post Office Department to accept parcels up to one hundred inches in height and girth. This means, roughly, that par cels three Feet by three feet and more than two feet thick can be mailed in zones four to eijrht, or within 200 'miles. The additional mail that will be created is expected to add $5, 000,000 to postal revenues, besides 4-H Members Return From Encampment Thirty-one boys and girls from the six 4-H Clubs of Jackson county were in camp at the State Test Farm at Swannanoa, last week, ami report a delightful time.

" ? ? creating cheap .express rates for lar-' jger packages than have been mail able up to now. More direct selling | from tam: to consumer may result. Selling by mail is steadily becom ing an increasing factor in small! 'communities and many of the big I city newspapers are carrying a sep- j jarate classification under "parcel] J post" in which farmers offer eugsj j and fresh poultry direct to city' I homes. One New Jersey woman is i finding it profitable, apparently, to advertise "fresh, home-cooked nieala" to Detroit consumers by mail. Among the items recently noted by Jess C. Harraman, of the Post Of fice Department, as being offered by | mail are honey, svrup, sorghum, hams, ; bacon, preserves, jellies, broilers and squabs. Fishermen are also selling huare quantities of fish, lobsters and other ocean product by parcel post. Many .farmers ara becoming pros perous through this method, it is pointed out in the report. j TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frailk Parker Stockbridge) 1 Courage j Soni'.' surprise has been expressed that young men wealthy enough i to own seagoing yachts should have the courage to sail their own ! craft in the ocean race front Nevv jiort, R. I., to Plymouth, England, especially over the dangerous north 'ern route. This surprise is voiced l?y newspapers and individuals who re gard courage as an attribute sole ly of the so-called "working class.'' ! That is a peculiarly American point of view. We have come to regard the man who does no useful work, but lives on inherited wealth as a feminized sort of person unfit i to associate with "he-men." The fact is that courage has nothing to do with wealth, occupa tion or social status. Brave men ar? to be found everywhere. Gold The great gold reef in South Africa, known as The Hand, is stiil producing as prolific-ally as ever, according to a recent report of the J world's largest gold mine. Since I gold was discovered in the valley j which the Boers called " Witwaters-] rand," in 1880, more than five ltil-j lion dollars of the precious metal | has been taken out of this one group of mines. Two hundred thousand na tive workers and 22,000 whites are | employed in the mines, which aie [ now down 7,000 fer-i below the , face and show no sign of petering ' out. So long as the world's trade is carried on with money which rep resents gold?and n'? other kind of money is of value in in temat ion ill commerce?there is need for a con stant fresh supply of the metal. Service I Ihc suggestion that Atlec Power ene, former United States Senator from Uliiu, shall run for Congress in the Cleveland districl where he lives, where there is a vacancy to he filled, brings up one difference he- i tween public life in this country and Kurope. On the other side, when j a man embarks 011 a career oi pub-1 lie service he usually remains in it, j regardless of whether lie keeps 011' climbing the ladder from one office j to a higher one. 11' he loses his seat I ill the Britisii Cabinet he is content! to continue as an ordinary member | ot' Parliament. Thus at the present' time there are two former Prime Min isters in the House of Commons, Lloyd-George and Stanley Baldwin. The men who had been President I of the United States served later in ! Congress; John Quincy Adams in the' House of Representatives and An-! drew Johnson in the Senate. Theo dore Burton of Ohio, after being a Senator went back to the House, to be el"eted Senator again later. But the usual American custom is to re tire rather than take a ''lower" of fice than the one last held. Happiness Dr. C. E. lv. Mees, research diret-! tor of the Eastman Kodak Company, i thinks people were happier as u rule when they had Jewel* modern im provement*. Of course, Dr. Mecs is right. Hap piness has nothing to do with money, "possessions or comfort. Nobody can confer happiness; it must come from within one's self. These things which we lump under the general term of "'improvements" merely give the in dividual more time in which to pursue happiness. All of those things do not make happiness, however. The only source of happiness is in fitting one's self into Ihe social scheme in such a way j as neither to interfere with the lives 'of others nor to be interfered with 1 by others, and to find something con j genial with which to occupy one's leisure time. And that is, 1 am con Tinced, easier to do now than it ever was before. Jefferson Taomas Jefferson's home, Monti cello, at Charlottesville, Ya., has been bought* by the Thomas Jeffcr !son .Memorial Foundation and re stored to its original condition.
