It began to rain Monday morning! and rained almost without ceasing for three days and nights. The streams have been wry high, the Tuckaseegec river reaching a point several feet higher than has been reached for many years. The dam age, while quite serious . at some points, has, so far as we know at present, not been so disastrous as might have been expected. One end of one of the small trestles below Beta, together with about forty feet of the embankment is washed' out. At Dillsboro, the track just above this place is slightly damaged, and at Dillsboro the damage to the track is more serious. Owing~?o the break abovo us no train has reached here since Tuesday. Scott's Creek was on a regular "tear'' but beyond drown ing a hog in a pen and some chickens roosting in some bushes, no serious inconvenience was experienced. At Dillsboro, from Dr. Candler's drug store down the lower part of the town was entirely submerged The water was up to the door of the drug store and over the counters in the store of T. B. Allison and Co. In Squire Watkins' slore the water did not quite reach to the tcp of the counters. Thursday at noon a boat was being used to get into the store of T. B. Allison and Co., and paddled about between the counters. Now tre water is rapidly subsiding and we hope our troubles from this source are over. District Meeting To Be Held Here There will be a meeting of the Kingdom Extension workers of the Methodist church of the Waynesville District at the Svlva Methodist * > church, tomorrow, Friday, beginning at two o'clock.

Conference For Schools Is Organized (liy John Parris, Jr.) A Great Smoky Mountains Athletic Confenenie loomed on the sport horizon this week. As a result of the nioet'og of tlie "Four Schoolmasters Club,'" in Dillsboro last week, plans were made to hold a meeting at Cul lowlu'e this week and elect officers for the Coiiference. Schools from the counties of -lack son, Ilaywood, Macon and Swain are I to be in the 'Conference.. There is a possibility that Cherokee, also, will be admitted. Most of the schools were represented at the meeting. The meeting which is to be held at Cul lowhee will have representatives from the various schools of the above men tioned counties. Th?*te must be six schools ( in the Conference. The schools that are 'be ing admitted to the Conference have already made applications for places in the organization. Perhaps this organization will bet ter sports, conditions in Western N. Carolina. That is one of the pur poses *)f the organization. It will also add greatly to bringing the schools closer in relation to each other. There have been several at tempts to accomplish this, but none of them proved successful. At the next infecting of the Con ference all matters governing elig ibility, officials {of the game, by laws, etc., will be taken up. It will probably take two weeks to settle everything and set the Conference in | motion. . ..

TODAY and TOMORROW (Bv Frank Parker Stoekbridge) Oulahan A few days ago the PresidenT of the United States took time off from his arduous duties to attend the funeral oif a newspaper reporter. A hundred more of the highest officials in Washin-^ton, members of the Cab inet, foreign diplomats, joined Mr. and Mrs. Hoover in paying a last tribute of respect to the memory of Richard Victor Oulahan. I think it is the only occasion on which a simple reporter ol' th<r news has been so honored. Disk Oulahnn could have hefdi al most any public office he might have aspired to, he could have been editor in-chief of almost any great news paper, but he -preferred to remain a reporter in the city of his birth, writing every day for the New York Times the news of Washington so truthfully and in such a dignified manner that he won the respect of everybody in public life, while his personal charm and character made presidents and ambassadors his per sonal friends. Dick Oulahan was my schoolmate fifty years ago. His life Jtn^i career were the model upon which many young newspaper men tried to shape their own. ?l^wWiasfciy wriEm York und Chicago gang murders have got, the public hats a notion that those cities must be <]iangeroun places to live in. But an Alabama college professor who has been collecting the Xncts about murder in the United States reports that there arc 77 cities in which tnere are more murders in proportion to population than in New York, and 39 that have a higher percentage of murders than Chicago. There are more murders is, Memphis, Tennessee, in proportion to popula tion, than any other American citjf. There is no such thing in any American ?,itv as gangs of murderers roaming^ at large and shooting total strangers because they don't like the color of their neckties, though some such impression of life in the big cities seems to be prevalent. I Have knocked around this world/ a good deal, and as a newspaper re porter have had to go into some pretty tough districts at all hours of day and night, but I never found it necessary to go armed, nor have I ever known of a sober, peaceful cit izen tending strictly to his own bus iness being killed cxcept by a lunatic Prohibition Anti prohibitionists are incurable optimists. Finland lias just repealed itff prohibition law and American "wets" are jubilant. H<>\v little chance there is of any such action in this country is clearly indicated by a poll of the entire membership of both houses of Con gress taken by International News Service. Only 155 members of the Houne of Jiepresentatives were will ing .?ven to submit the question of repe.'tl to !?. popular referendum. It Last Rites Held for Mrs; Dillard Funeral services for Mrs. Ralph Dillard, who died early Sunday morning in the C.* J.

Interment followed in the Dillard family cemetery. Mrs. Dillard is survived by her husband, three .small sons, four brothers, Ellis Beasley, Zaeh Beasley, Arvan Beasley and! Hayes Beasley, and one sister, Mrs. Paul Sheppard. Meeting Qf Farmers To Be Jan. 23 A meeting of the fanners of Jacksdn County will be held iu Sylva on January 23, beginning at 1 P. M., at which plans for the year's work in the co(unty will be laid oul, and addresses will be made by lead ing agriculturists, workers from the extension department, and interested people.

ORGANIZE JACKSON COUNTY CLUB AT TEACHERS COLLEGE 'Special to The Journal) the Jackson County Chib at West ern Carolina Teachers College was called todj'y for the purpose of re organization. Roy WatSon of Sylva was qlectjed president, Mia|s Willa. Mae Dills of Sylva was elected vice president and J. (). Terrell of Whit tier was elected secretary-treasurer. The Jackson County Club has more members than any county organiza tion on the campus. Counting tBese who have enrolled for the winter quarter, the enrollment in the club has reached, about forty, takes 218 to make a majority in the Jower house; of Congress. Thirty-two senators, or exactly one-third Were in faVor of a referendum. A^id the question of legalizing beer conlaJhus ter only 125 representatives andl 21 senators to its support. I think that that proportion is a fair reflection of public sentiment in the United States. "The anti-pro hibitionists are indulging in what Emerson called "wishful thinking." Wages The Intel national Labor Office of the League ot Nations set out to com pare "real wages" in European in dustry with American wages. "Real wages" means the actual purchasing power of the workers' earnings in terms of commodities. As was ex pected, the investigatoi*s report that living costs in European cities are excessively high and that few Euro pean workers arc able to buy more than the bare necessities of life even in the best of times. If this investigation results in in creasing wages and giving overseas workers & greater purchasing power it will help a lot toward restorimr economic prosperity in Europe, and that will help all the rest of the world Davis ' 1 Several weeks ago in this column I called attention to the public ca reer of Norman H. Davis and) sug gested that he was a good man tn keep an eye on. President Hoover has just appointed him as one of the American delegates to the Gen eral Disarmament Conference to I?p held in Geneva, February 2nd. Mr. Davis is already a member of the 1 Finance Committee of the League of Nation?1. Few Americans are bet ter informed on European affairs and international finance. Mr. Davis is a Democrat, and if a Democrat 'should be elected President this vear there is little dotabt that he will hold a high position in the nut idnioiitiilM - . - ... ?
