JNION MEETING UNDER WAY AT SYLVA METHODIST CHURCH ? 1 A I *ii ion Mi-eting, consisting .of ? seriefc of .evangelistic services, is under way at the- Methodist church, this week, in which both the Metho dist and Baptist churches ar^ par ticipating, and Rev. \V. L. Griggs, pastor of the Ninth Avenue Baptist church, in Charlotte, is doing the preaching. # S. Mr. Griggs is a native of Macon county. He i? well known in Sylva, having, conducted a meeting in the TKe ihemlbersliifr of tbe two church es, and the pastors, ' extend a most cordial invitation to everyone to at tend the services, which b?gan on last Sunday, and wi.l contiii e for two we<*ks. t Th:* 'hours of pi';*a t ing a (< 19 o'clock in tiio mornings and 8 in the evenings. the Eighteenth Amendment, and he is the most stalwart of *'drys " His friends ar(! pointing, out that it wasn't (iieccsfsa^y i.f'or him to /bolt the- party, since the Chicago Repub lican platform explicitly declares that adherence to that particular plank J shall not be a test of party loyalty, j Senator Borah r. enemies are quoting! a remark attributed to Calvin Coo'-| idgc, when the former Pr sident learned that the man from Idaho rides horseback every morning. "1 don't see how Borah and the hors'1 ever agroo which way to go," ho said, which epitomizes the Idaho Senator's wcll-knotvn tend'. my to get on the opposite side of every question. i ( Silver Lining in Finance / Senator l'ittntan's bill to authorise the Government to buy a billion and a half ounces of silver, coin it into silver dollars and issue silver cer tificates against it n-ay or may not become law. It would bring the ratio of silver to gold in our treasury up to where it was when the present law, authorizing the issue of 500-. 000 of silver certificates, was adopt ed. Then we had about a billion dol lars in gold reserves; notf we have about four billion. Whatever happens to that propos al, there is a strong1 belief that th" Rummer will see a rehabilitation of silver to the position it oecupied as money bofore the war, through inter national agreement. Plans are all laid -'for an international eonf-renee, probably in London, before the end of September. That would send up the priee of silver and put the silver nations on n:ore nearly an wpial basis with the nations in international trade. That, in turn, would send up commodity prices a^jl greatly help to bring back business and employment. Roosevelt The Governor of New York was born in the house in which he still lives, at Hyde Park.

One of hese was recently shot, although it is illegal to kill then:, and the body .ias been sent to Holland for exam ination by scientists, who think lh??fie '*orang letjos ' may be survivors )f one of the races which preceded rhe modern man iu the earth. In the Sahara desert the bones of everul members of a race, which was .iiucit like, yet curiously unlike hu man beings <?f today, have just been inearthed. Similar discoveries over .uany years in ? Germany, France . Jhina, and South Africa lead to the lelief that not one hut several dif ferent species of humans and near humans once inhabited many parts of the world. ... Perhaps the folk-myths of giants, ^a-yrs and earth-dwelling gnomes !iave come down from remote times when survivors of these primitive tyjies came into contact with our own ancestors, who themselves were better able to survive the changing rigors of a developing world because of their superior agility and brain cap acity. Fiankfurter In Washington, during the War, ir reverent newspaper men used to ca! hi hi the "Happy Sausage." That is a somewhat strairied translation of F.-lix Frankfurter's name, since ''Felix" is good Latin for "Happy" and everybody knows that a frank a jCurter is a sausage I But the same men who nicknamed him used to also say that he had the best-functioning set of brains in Washington, and that was saying a good deal in a time when Woodrow Wilson and Newton D. Baker were | both there and using theirs. Felix Frankfurter's appointment by Governor Ely to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts has started a storm of protest, because he was the cham pion of Sacco and Vanzetti, whose execution for murder was regarded by the radicals of the. world as due? to their Communist activities rather! than to any real proof of their guilt, j Frankfurter, since 19fi a professor i in Harvard Law School, believed thc*i two men were innocent, and said so. : That put him orb the "black list" of t the conservatives of Boston, who 1 were sure the men were guilty be cause they wiere Communists> /But j great lawyers, judges and statesmen . call Felix Frankfurter, the Austrian j Jew who came to America at the age ' of twelve, one of the ablest legal | minds in the world. j I l Sanders Like speaker Garner, Everett | Sanders, the new chairman of the i Republican National Committee, was! born in a log cabin. He \vas a mem- 1 ber of Congress from Indiana when ! President Coolidge made him his : secretary. In that job he won from ' Mr. Coolidge the high praise that he : was a '<man of great ability and dis- ' cretion.'' Sanders started life as a dejik in j shoe store, and sold more shpes than j anybody else who ever worked" there. Perhaps, his friends say, that "is one reason why he understands people from the ground up. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION! TO BE JULY 14th, AT DILLSBORO The Jackson County Sunday School Convention, held under the auspices of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, will meet in Diflsboro on July 14, for an all day session, according to announcement made by F. I. Watson, the president. ?The program for the meeting follows : Theme: The Child, the Home and the Sunday School. 9:45 Song service, E. F. Jarrett, leader. Robert . Rice Reynolds, Buncombe county attorney, who has been run ning for something ever since he was old enough, has at last come into his own. On Inst Saturday, in the run off primary, he defeated Senator Cameron Morrison for United States Senator by a majority of more than 103,000 votes, according to the latest tabulations. In Jackson County Reynolds re ceived a majority of 1261 for the short term and 1375 for the long. Ehringhaus, high man in the first primary for governor, fell far short of the expected large vote for him and only squeezed through the sec on id by the slim margin of 13,230. The mountain counties saved him from defeat, as huge majorities wye piled up for the Elizabeth City man in nearly every county in the mountain area, and won him the nomination over Lieutenant-Governor Richard T. Fountain. The vote in Jackscfti is indicative of how John Christopher Blucher Ehringhaus ran in the moun tains. His majority in this county was 1001, by the official tabulation. Fletcher defeated MitdhclJ for Commissioner of Labor. He received a larger majority than either Ehring liauH or Reynolds in Jackson county, where the vote for him was almost unanimous. His majority was 1834 here, hf- receiving 1973 votes to 130 for Mitchcll. Political dopesters throughout the country have been busy ever since the North Carolina primary trying to figure out the how come of the Reynolds victory over Morrison, and, outside the State, much has| been made in the papers of the fact that 'Morrison is a dry while Reynolds is a modificationist. However, most well informed politicians in North Carolina believe that this had little to do wlh the Reynolds victory. It is generally believed that Bob Rey nolds' personalty,, his ability as a vote-getter, coilpled with the resent ment against Morjrison bccause of the McNinch confirmation vote, the failure <of Morrison to nite stand on the payment of yie soldiers' bonus, and the fact that V; is a very wealthy man, or rathe\ that Mrs. Morrison is a wealthjn \ woman, were the chief contributing factors in the down fall of Senator ^ Morrison. Another thing that is be lieved to have contributed largely to the Reynolds victory is the known fact that the voters throughout the . country have shown a disposition io/ vote out every man who now occn/ pies a high office, every time th/y get a chance. They defeated Br^k hart in Iowa, and have done like wise to almost all of ?the ins. This same disposition is expected to play a large part in winning votes for (Tovernor Roosevelt against Presi dent Hoover in November.
