JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL Published Weekly By Tha JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL CO. Entered as second class matter at the post office at Sylva, N. C. DAN TOMPKINS, Editor Miners in Illinois strike, farmers in l he bucolic west strike, textile work ers in Kutherford strike. We must be striking back to normalcy. Highway 112 will be let to contract on next Wednesday. That assures that there will be a main highway enter ing the Park by next summer, a high way that everybody can get to, and it also develops a great Jackson coun ty township. When cotton went down to 7c a pound, the South was ruined. Now t lint it has gone back up to 7c, folks arc beginning to talk good times. Unless human labor on t lie planta tions is pauperized, it costs as much now to raise a bale of cotton as It did then. Work out your own answer. Dick K evil olds is of the opinion that his brother Smith was murdered. The Forsyth grand jury must have had somewhat the same idea. Now watch the fireworks start over Smith's part of the estate, if his so called widow and her unborn child put in their claim. President 1 Too verbis so successful in tin- use of tear gas against the vet nans, that the deputy sheriffs, out in the west, are trying it against the ?striking farmers. Don't know how gas will work on 'em; hut the west- 1 ei n farmers have been held in line with hot air, for n long number of Years. Plans to build State highways to the top of Mount Mitchell, around through Soeo (Sap and down through the Big Cove, out to Cabin Flats, and such scenic, st mi-private, and private roads, aiv sillv. That is the kind of expenditure ot public, funds that lias foiitriluited to the present taxation distress. Build the roads that the peo p'e need first, then, if the State ha? any money that it wants to find a place to spend, we will talk about the pleasure and tourist roads. It develops that tlif home louu law of the federal government does not propose to lend money to the owners of homos; hut to establish u system of bunks that nre to lend money to other hank-; utd mortgage companies, who in turn will lend it to the home owners, when they {jet ;i rouii<l to it \Ve thought there was a catch, soine ? liere. It .seemed too pood to he true that the middle man could he cut off from his rake-off, especially if Ik was a big middle iiran. The money of tin1 people is loaned to companies to lend hack to the people. Have just been wondering what kind of a law they have, if any, or nre supposed to have, up in New York State, that gives a governor the authority to fire a mayor of a city, who has been duly elected by the people. Strikes us that if the purpose of the present rumpuu is really to nail Mayor Jimmy Walker'fc hide to the back door of city hall, and not to make a jtolitical issue that might in jure .Governor Roosevelt, who is also a presidential candidate, that the proper procedure would be to insti tute an impeachment proceeding in the courts, or, if New York has a re en H provision in its laws, to try a re call election, and let the folks say what is what. Chowan county commissioners have, with the hacking of a large number of Chowan citizens, entered suit to compel the State Board of Equiliz ntion to furnish funds to support tin schools in three districts in that county, where the people did not be lieve consolidation the proper thing do. and the State educational au thorities tried to force such action by wit hold ins; the school fluids. Public opinion in the State will largely rally to the support of the Chowan folks, specially in those country districts where consolidation came before good roads. What is the matter with the little red school house, anyway, Our observation, and the opinion of somr expert authorities is, that it and its one teacher did a pretty pood job. hack in the old days. But the qnes tion now is that the Chowan children entitled to a school to <*o to. and tlieir teachers are entitled to tlieir rm\ Tljo thine w-as hangine fire all Inst winter, and we are enterinrr on another sehonl to?rrv with the sil na tion still nnelarified. The farmers in the bucolic west are staging a strike, in an attempt to stop the movement and sale of products from the farm until such time as the producers can receive a fair price for the fruits of their land and their labors. Itoads leadiug to the markets are being picketed, and general discontent is evident, as the prices of stocks and bonds con tinue to rise 011 the New York mar ket. It was, you will remember, on the farm that the present panic be gan. The farmers were suffering, while the world was drunk on high stock market prices. This situation J continued for several years, and 1 i nally the farm dragged the financial world down into the slo.igh of de spond with it. Make the farmers am1 the laboi ers prosperous, and the country will prosper. Allow ttic farm ers to continue to get low prices for their products, and the vrfjpus circl.1 will begin all over again, sooner or later. But, our leaders in Washing ton can see no further than the Ilauiiltoniau idea of beginning pros peritv at the top, with the favored few, and letting it seep down to us J common folk. ^ editor al Nothing that has occurred in re cent years is more emphatic of the eternal change and reversal of things in this world in which we live than the appointment of Al Smith as Kditor in Chief of the New Outlook, which magazine itself is nil 'outgrowth of ii publicatie.il that was | founded by Henry Ward Iteecher. llceeher was a militant Protestant. Smith, as everybody knows, is ;i <le vouf Poinanist. Ueccher was n preach er of the I'lirilan type, who well' forth with the "Sword of the I .on' ami of (Jideoii," lo do buttle foi his hratjd of religion, and whose con science cominaiided that lie always do and say what lie thought, so lonp ?is it was politically ex|H>di<nt and lid not offend the wealthy mid in flucntial flock of which lie was tin shepherd. Above all, Needier was t leader of the Radicals, that ^ roup of Republicans, that upset the govern ment and wrought the crucifixion ol the South, during the period of so called Keconst met ion. Smith is a Democrat, or rather Ik was until the Chicago convention nominated his one tin e chief lieutcn int and his best personal and politi cal friend, Franklin I). Uoos? velt, in preference to himself. Since then In liasn t emphasized his Democracy. Although ho humi't mentioned it there in n possibility tlint, since the campaign of lO'JH, when the South desert ed the Deniocratifl party mid smote Smith hip mid thigh, I lint I here is one point of sympathy he ween the present editor of the New Outlook and its founder1, that- of t contempt for the Smith and things Southern. HOOVER AND CURTIS AS JANUF I , The two heads of the Republican party, Hoover and Curtis now up pear, so far as prohibition is con cerned, in the role of .1 alius, I lit two-headed god, who looked both ways at once, and for whom the Romans named the month of Janu ary, because it looked both back ward and forward. Mr. Hoover, for whom the drys tore their proverbial shirts, four vears ago, and overturned the poli cies of several States, North ('aro ma included, in an effort to save 'he nation for morality,, and from the Pope and tin' devil, and to preserve the Eighteenth Amendment in all ?ts glory, branded, in his acceptance speech, himself, as a States-rights Democrat, more died in the wool ?ban .tWf Davis. When the commit ?ev got around to notifying Mr. Vrtis that lie had been nominated 'o succeed himself as vice president, 'ie also accepted, hut declared him ?self as a firm believer in the Eigli ' oe iitli Amendment and all its works. So we have Janus (Hoover and Curtis) looking to this year's votes md last year's, also, at one and the nine time, so much so that the Meth ?dist Board of Temperance, Prohibi fion and Public, Morals, the nolitica' 'ebby that the Northern brethren 'Maintain, is high ) in its praise of Curtis and lets (forth the wail of 'Abscloni, my son, Absolom'', over 'he wandering Hoover. v ", ) TROUT SEASON CLOSES 31ST The open season for trout and for Jack fish or Muskalunge, fishing closes August .11.
