May Yet Wage Fight ' Prohibition In This ^ I I -KiH TODAY and TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stoekbridge) Names .... nation-wide study What is the commonest name in America, ' 1 , 1 Right ? Sn ith. But in Brooklyn, N. Y.j and the Borough of The Bronx there are more Cohens than Smiths, and in The Bronx, almost entirely populated by Jew*, there are also more people named Schwartz and Miller. ) ? A study of the telephone liooks and eity directories of the whole na tion has just been made, end show* that the names which appear often est are, in order of their frequency," ?Smith, Johnsor, Brown, Williams, .Jones, Miller, Davis, Audi won, Wil son and Moore. Smith is a tmiversnl name. It means the worker in metals and it is the same whether written Smith, Schmidt or Fabcr. Johnson is usually Scand inavian in this country, hut it is also English and Scotch. The Browns mav have started out as Brauns or ? Ijo Brun, hut are n:ore likely to be of English descent. Williams and ?Jones are straight Welsh, as are the Da vises. The Millers are another iiutoma tionnl family, Muiller mid Moulin eaux being other spellings. The An dersons and Wilsons are Scotch, of course, and who ever heard of a per son named Moore who djdn'4 trace hack to the Emerald Me? Stamps Mnny rondos have written mo to ask the value of old stamps in their jKiswHsioni since I wrote something about the pricew some rare stomps bring. I am not nn authority on stamps, but experts tell nie that the value of any given stamp in what it will bring nt auction, where stamp prices are fixed. Most stamp dealers ar? honest, but one man who sent a vejy taaH stamp to a denlpyftiund himself victimized. The denier paid him $165 for the stamp, then fold it for $7,500. Tlie original owner sued the dealer aiul the epurts have ordered him to pay the difference. * The best, way to find out whether an old stamp has value is to send a photograph of it to the Ameriean Philatelic Society, Denver. Paper Within three miles of my home farm stand the ruins of the mill in which the first woodpulp paper ever manufactured was turned out. A young German engineer came into this paper-making region of the Housa tonic Valley in Massaehssctts about Aixty yeara ago with an idea thai revolutionized the newspaper business and immensely cheapened all kinds of paper. We still make most of ths high ?rade writing paper, and all the papc in which money is printed, In til' mills of Berkshire county. Linoni and cotton rags, such as the clippings from the shirt and .collar factories ii Troy, provide much of the bafie ma terial for writing papors, but most of the paper om which books an printed and all that is used in news papers, is made of woon. Canadn makes most of it, Jiecausi Canada still has great spruce for ests and we have cnt most of ours dowVi. >But Dr> Charles A. Herty, i r famous chemist, has found out how to make white paper from southern pine, and the time will come when the big "newsprint" mills will be in Florida and Georgia instead of Can ada.

The most exciting question air ing polit ical gossips: is: Will Congress try1 at this session to adopt a consti tutional (amendment on prohibitum i for submission to the States next fall t ? Both parties have pledged them selves to the submission of such an amendment. Why cant it bo done right awav? The difficulty will be in framing ani amendment which vjxn obtain a two-thirds vote in both Houses, which is the majority required by the Con stitution 'for, Jhe submission of n constitutional amendment. The Democratic platform Vails for an amendment explicitly regaling the Eighteenth or Prohibition Amend ment, although coupled with this in the demand that "the Federal Gov ernment effectively exercise itH power to enable the States to pro tect themselves against importation of intoxicating liquors in violation of thf ir law's." The Republican platform, however, Specifically says: "'We do not favor a submission limited to the issue of retention joi1 repeaS,'*' ajuH declares that the proposed amendment should contain provisions retaining in the Foderul Government power to pre serve the gains already mude in deal ing with the liquor traffic, -while allowing States to deal with their problem as their citizens nay de termine, subject to the power of the Federal Government to protect States where prohibition may exist. To submit a constitutional amend ment would require the affirmative votes of 200 members of the House of Representatives and of 04 Sena tors, two-thirds of the membership of each House. Neither party has enough votes in the present fm^'eiw to put such a proposal through as u party measure. The Democrats have 218 Represen Natives and the Republican ^21 4/mEf fosmy .Demoerattfl " TeprMffhtative could be counted upon to support a wet amendment fft this time, it would still take the votes of 72 Republicans in addition, to put it through. In the Senate neither [terty ha* n rrajority; there arc 47 Republicans, 47 Democraata, 0110 Farmer Iiubor Senator, and one vacancy. It would take all the 47 Democrat* ami 17 of the Republican Senator* to give n two-third* vote of approval \n *uch an amendment. Nevertheless, it i* possible that something of the sort might bo done during this mouth of July if a deter mined effort were made to get rid of the subject now, and so remove it from the Presidential campaign per manently. In view of the apparent popular interest .in this subjift, to the exclusion of all other campaign issues, those who would like to see the election result turn upon the ques tions of economics and deep-seated political principles would he glad to have tho prohibition topic wiped off the hoard* immediately. To achieve that result, it is bo lieved that a great many dry* and middle-of-the-roaders would be will ing to make concession* and modify their personal views, if uny hope were held out that by so doing a con stitutional amendment which would put the whole question up to the peo ple of the States could be drafted and adopted at this session. Tliat is regarded as mueh moro feasible, strange as it may seem, than the amendment of the Volstead act at this session, even though it would require qnly a majority of each House to change that, The Democratic party platform proposal advocates the immediate modification of the Volstead act to legalize, the manuf^etuile n^d sale of beer and other beverages "of such alcoholic content as is permissible j under the Constitution." The Volstead act declares that any beverage con taining more than one-half of one percent of alcohol is intoxicating and is, therefore, illegal. The contention of the wet* i* that fan alcoholic content of six or seven per ceint, which was the usual strength oP lager beer in the old pre-prohibi tion days, or even of ten or twelve per cent, which is also about the pro portion of alchohol i!n the so-called ."light wines," is not in fact intox icating, as such beverages qre or f Chairmanship ?KAuaBai Jamei A.

LIBRARY RECEIVES VALUABLE SET OF BOOKS Cnllowhee, July J4.?The library of Western Carolina Teachers Col lege recently received a gift of an eleven voiun.e net of "Messages and Papers of the President#" from Miss Carol Snider of Jtobbinsville. The splendid net of books is valued at almost a hundred dollars and the generosity of Miss Snider in donat ing them to the library here is highly appreciated by College officials and students. The eleven volume Bet of "Message* and Papers of the President*' was published in 1012 by tbe Bureau of National Printing and was prepared under the direction of the Joint Committee on Printing, of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. ? ? ' 111 *>"? ' PRISON EVANGELIST HERE THIS WEEK Captain Dan McDonald, Evangelist to prisons, visited Sylva Monday af ternoon in the interest of prison work. Mr. McDonald is founder and superintendent of the Piedmont Prison Mission, with headquarters at Charlotte. /The Captain will return in the near future and put his work before the county officials and gen eral public. Ife went to Bryson City from here. CHURCH HOLDS SERVICES ON WHITESIDE MOUNTAIN The Tuctfiweigoe Baptist church held its Sunday School and preach ing services ou Whiteside Mountain, last Sunday, a congregation of 102 being preseut. The Young Men's clash of the Sunday School had 18 mem bers present. The sermon, at 11 o'clock, was preachud by Hev. .W, N, Cook. The occasion was said by those present to have been a most enjoy able one. dinnrily used. The Democratic party's proposal is to amend the law and legalize beverages with an alcoholic content higher than the present one half of one per cent near beer. Some observers predict that there will be a more bitter fight over that proposal than there will be over tbi constitutional amendmenf. There are many members of Congress in both Houses and of both parties who are uncompromisingly dry. They will ac cept and vote for a constitutional amendment putting the question up to the Stains, because they believe that it will be impossible to obtain the ratification of such an amend ment by three-fourths of the 48 States. There are more than twelve States, they believe, which will never ratify prohibition repeal", either through the Legislatures or by con ventions elected by tbe people; and it takes three-fourths of the States to ratify any change in the Consti tution. So while wets and dry* find their - Belves in harmony on the question of resubmission, the drys . still think they are strong enough to block any attempt to make the statutory re strictions on liquor any wetter than they are now.
