AIAV ADD CAULIFLOWER
TO HAMBURG CABBAGE
( aulil lower growing may be added
to the profitable cabbage culture in
the Hamburg section of Jackson
county, thereby adding to the cash
crop of that great trucking region
Kxperiments have been made, this
year, in cauliflower culture, by J.
II. Long, on the Cullowheo moun
tain, and Samples of his product were
bro'i'irht to
Til!- veget allies which were brought
?o town Iron: Mr. I/ing's place, were
pronounced to he as fifie as have
ever been shown on any market, and
weighed around 3 .'5-4 pounds' per
head.
It is believed that, since cauli
flower brings a higher price llian
cabbage, that the lame of Hamburg
cauliflower may spread, as has that
of i he cabbage, and the growing ol
catilifiower I'm* the market may be
come ;i mo/^t in p trtaant cash crop
i.u upper Jackson county,
People who are acquainted with
the c-liiiiiil ?% soil, and other condi- '
lions in that part of Jackson county,
are convinced that. many vegetables
will gradually ho added to those al
ready grown, and that a great source
of wealth will come from the truck
ing industry in Hamburg.

JACKSON COUNTY FARMERS
SHIP 42 LAMBS TO MARKET
|By K. K. Vestal, County Agent)
Seven Jackson County Farmers
shifted 42 lambs 1?> Atlanta last
week, cooperating with Macon Coun
ty and the Indian Reservation in a
ear load from Franklin. The lainhs
were of much better quality than
the former load as they were carry
ing more flesh. These lambs sold as
follows:
7 lainhs, weighing 575 lbs. brought
6V*?c lb. ;13 lambs, 945 Lbs, Gc; 2
lambs, 1 GO lbs. 5 V?c; 2 lambs, 150
lbs., 5c; 16 lambs, 11(H) lbs., 4c; 2
lambs, 115 lbs., 2 3-4c.
The top lambs, bringing 6l/>c, w.ts
the top price for the year, ",h<- mar-.
| ket being higher than in July or
| the first of August. This advance in
pricethis time of the year is an un
| usual occurrence, as the price trend
' is generally downward. However, the
advance is no doubt due to the gen
eral advance in all classes of live
stock and in the meat trade as well.
The following n en were shippers
of this load: Mr. Jim Cook rind iJrice

TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
Smokers . . . lose last saxctum
One effect of the emancipation of
women lias been to leave mere man
with very few places to go where he
can enjoy the society of his own sex
[without feminine invasion.
Tim saloon used to be such a re
fuge, but they t??ll me that the speak
easies, in the big ctities at least, have
ns many women patrons as men.
They still don't let women into Ma
sonic and other lodges, but most of
the railroads are finding it impos
sible to keep them out of the smok
ing ears. 1 traveled from New York
to Washington a short time ago and
found that the so-oatled "club ear,"
formerly an exclusively male sanc
tum, had put in a lot of fancy sofas
and doodads for the benefit of
women smokers.
T see that the Santa Fc railroad
has put on a specifel smoker for
women. If the girls want to smoke,
they ought to have a place for it
where they wouldn't get in the men's |
way.
[ Amazing . . . Olympic Receipts
The most amazing statement I have
seen in print in years is that the
Olympic Games Committee has
enough money on hand from admis
sion receipts to pay back the million
dollars which the state of California
lent in 1027 to finance the prepara
tions for the great international ath
letic tournament.
I do not remember ever having
heard of a state or a government
getting hack any money that it had
lent. And what makes it the inor<
amazing is that there were 800,000
paid admissions to the Olympic games
this year of deepest depression.
It all goes to show that California
is a wonderful state, and that there
art! still some sports-loving people
with money left in the world.
Barometer . . . human suffering
Evn"ff<?line Booth says things are
Retting bet fsr. Shi -vil't to jStiow. j
She is the head of n. o
tion in the world that cl<>sc X to
human suffering. That is the Salva
tion Army.
The Salvation Army reaches down
to the lowest strata of humanity. Tt
deals with human beings as Individ
uals in trouble. Its officers know
better than anyone else when times
are hard and wIicji they are easier.
So when Miss Booth says that things
are getting better, J, personally,
would place more reliance upon her
report (han on those of. all tho econ
omists and statisticians in the world.
Tho demands upon the Salvation
Army for help arc an aceuratc bar
ometer of human necessities.
Wrinkles . . . Neckwear and skirts
The big industries of the future
are coming out of the research la
boratories every day. The latest is
a process of treating cotton, rayon
and silk fabrics so that they will
not create or retain permanent
wrinkles.
That should interest men as well
as women, for one of the heretofore
unsolved problems of civilization has
been how to wear a necklie more
than three times without getting it
all wrinkled up! And every woman
who rides in an automobile knows
how difficult it is to keep her skirt
from showing wrinkles.
W. C. T. C. SEEKS $5,000 FOR
EMERGENCY LOAN FUND
Western Carolina Teachers Col
lege is seeking' to raise $5,000 to be
used as an emergency loan fund for
students, the hulk of which will he
[ loaned to freshmen.
The method endorsed by the board
of trustees is to borrow $5,000 from
employees and friends of the col
lege, to be paid to the lenders by
September 1, 19.'J8, with interest pay
able annually at 4 per cent. The in
. %
eome from the hydro-electric plant
will he pledged to the lenders as se
curity for the loans, and it is .now
producing $1,000 a year.
It is expected that the employees
< f the school will subscribe $2,500 or
$3,000 of the loan, and the rest will
be raised from friends of the college.
Dean W. E. Bird has mailed out a
large number of letters outlining the
plan. Certificates showing the amount
subscribed, and the amount due each
lender to the fund will be issued,
and will pledge the income from the
hvdro-electric plant as security for
the indebtedness.
MEN AT WORK ON
FINAL SURVEY OF
CULLOWHEE ROAD
Engineers are at work making,
what is said to be the final survey
on the lower end of Highway 100,
beginning at Highway 10, in Sylva,
land connecting up Ihc three remain
ing links between that point anil
Dick's (rap nt Cullowhec; and it
is understood that the contract for
grading and paving of that part of
Jackson county's most important
road will he let by the middle of
this month.
The mass meeting Avill be held at
(jlenville, within the next few d?ya,
it is understood, in which all the
people of the county interested in
Highway 1,,(> are erpccted to gath'T
and take whatever steps may be
deemed necessary to urge the High
way Commission to speedily com
plete the road clear through ty con
nect with Highway 28 in Cashier's
Vinl ley.
It is generally conceded that tlie
tardiness oil the completion of this
highway, which is the backbone of
Jack son county# highway system,
is one of the most important of all
roads leading from outside the moun
tain area to the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park, and to the mid
dle west, lias been extremely costly
to the business interests of Sylva
and all Jackson county, and that it
must be completed -if the county is
to tnike the progress that it should,
This point was stressed before the
advisory committee on the develop
ment of. the park area, at Wayncf;
ville, hist week, by Mr. Dan Tomj>
kins, Mr. A. .1. Dills, and Mr. B
Knloe, and Ihr road ns

c?Ainty HiSsi* V'irr n'l
Western Carolina W-liuwl tlie
ment to get llighwny 100 <*omplct? i
at ns early a date as possible.
It is pointed out that the mas-<
meeting at (ilcnvillc may be product
ive of great good, as it is generally
believed (hat now is the time to
strike, while tin? iron is hot, ami
urge upon tlnf Highway Commission
this this road, over which the peo
ple of the county have suffered a
long aeries of disappointments, and
in anticipation of the completion of
Which the county has invested six
hundred thousand dollars in loans
and donations to the State, be com
pleted at the earliest possible mom
ent, and out of the present federal
funds in tlie hands of the State for
road purposes..
The unfairness of building other
roads, which wen; not on the orig
inal highway system, before this one
which was adopted by the Stotc in
1020, when the first fifty-thousand
dollar bond isMie for roads' was made,
is completed, was pointed out by Mi*.
Tompkins at the Waynesville meet
ing, and he stated there that Jackson
county will op]>osc any move to build
rjther roads until this one is finished
(o Cashier's Valley, as was contem
plated when the State assayed to
construct ?i highway system connect

institutions.
NEW YORK MAYOR NOW IN
SPOTLIGHT OF NATION
Washington, C., August 31. ?
It is not often (hat a Mayor of
Xew York becomes a figure of na
tional political importance, but that
is what has happened ju the case of
"Jimmy'' Walker. The belief that
Gov. Roosevelt would not dare to
throw him out for fear of incurring
the enmity of Tammany Hall and
losing the electoral vote of New York
State seems to have been dispelled.
Even the Governor's political oppon
ents concede that his handling of
his personal investigation of Walk
er's conduct as Mayor was an excel
lent piece of work. Also Mayor
Walker's resort to the courts, in the
effort to show that the Governor
has no authority to remove him, has
gone a long way to convince voters
all over the country that he is not
quite the heroic martyr which he hii
