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.

Reynolds Sweeps State In
Second Primary Saturday;
Lead Mounts To 103,000
TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridgc)
Man
fhere is plenty of evidence that
he typ?s of human beings which now
nhabit the earth are not the only'
tnimals of our species that ever
lived, fn Sumatra the natives have
ong known ot' thr existence of a
rihe of ap'-meii, who live in nn in
icccssible mountain country. 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.
