M. Iv. (laudhi has been lo'oasnl from his 1 year jail sentence, follow ing a seven day fast, which he had contended he wouid puisne until death released him. The Bri'ish gov ornn- rnt fears this little, emaciated piece of humanity more than it fears any power on earth. The Mahal ma has millions of followers in India, and it is the fear of what would hap pen if he should really starve him self to death that caused the British to release him. The death of the Mahatma, which could be attributed to British incarceration, might easily start an explosion that would rock the Empire to its very foundations. The British, who are wise in the ways of Statecraft and human na ture, know this. A mob in Hollywood threatened a drunken flier. It is 110 wonder (hat the indignation of people can he wrought to the pitch when' fear of mob violence is felt, if intoxicated men insist upon steering motor-pro pelled vehicles, in ait, on land, or water. The danger is too great to other people. Deshouliercs said: "Xo one is sat isfied with his fortune, or dissatis fied with his intellect." Which proves if it prows anything, the eternril dumbness of all of us. As horrible an accvdemt as has hap pened in North 'Carolina in many a day was that at Luniberton which re sulted in seven deaths, when a truck loaded with men and boys crashed into the side of a passenger train. The driver states that the track wa? obstructed bv houses. The view tc all grade crossings should he dem and all drivers should exert ti e ut most care when approaching grad: crossings. HILLIARD WILL PREACH Rev. S. H. Hilliard will occupy thel pulpit at the Methodist church, Sun day morning, in the absence of Rev T. R. Wolfe, the pastor. Rev. Mr. Hilliard, a citizen of Sylva, is one of the oldest and most prominent min isters in the Western North Caro lina Conference.

RUV. JACOB GARTENHAUS TO PREACH AT BAPTIST CHURCH Itev. Jacob Gartenhaus will preach at Sylva Baptist Church next Sunday night. ' Mr. Gartenhaus is the only 1 presmfative of Southern Baptists to the. half million Jews of ! the Smth. Mr. Gartenhaus spoke in Svlva four years ago and was also * j* *? * t *" # in "< ullowhee , two years ago. His life story is- a close parallel to that of S.tiiit Paul's. It will strengthen the fnitli of any Christisvi to hear him. This will be a tivat that seldom eon cs our way and it is hoped that many will take advantage of it. \ ' I WOMEN MAKE CLOTHES FROM HUSBANDS SUITS I 11\>T(> Demonstration flub Wnnirn in f naiii* their husbands* discarded suits to make attnul've t'luthcS fm themselves. ?'For many year- farm women have been tak'Wj their husbands* old -suits and cutting Miom down for th.? littl Imys ? now '.hev arc thf suits for tbe'r own wear," sai l Mhs Willie N Hunter, clothing srwalist nt State Coilcsc. She pointed out that m> n"? cloth ing usuall<r u i-iade of ?o"?d materi.il and that earv'ul f uttintr a?h i design ing ean 1h?

Sometinrws if a sleeve is worn, it is necessary to design a sleeve for the woman's coat with a deep cuff. "A plain gored skirt o:iHern is safest to use, bit often it s neces sary to put on a yoke to obtain the right length. However, the skirt may be eut with just a yoke in baek and sometimes the skirt length may be secured without a yoke. ''The first process in making the woman's suit from the man's is io rip and clean the suit carefully and thoroughly. Dry cleaning is rceom n ended, but some woolens will wash nicely with soap and water if hand led carefully. "After the suit is rapped and cleaned, press the material and be sure that there are no wrinkle? in the material. Then place the pattern on the material and cut." A suit of this type was recently modeled by a Lee ?ounty Home Dem onstration Club woman at the Short Course Dress revue at State college. Tt was attractive and did not cost a penny. Miss Hunter advises that farm women avoid that home-made look in making their suits by careful workmanship. Thorough pressing ii nst he done. Each seam and pro cess should be pressed as the su?4 is made and after it is finished a thorough all-over pressing is needed, she says. B. Y. P. tJ. OF SCOTT'S CREEK SPONSORS STUDY COURSE The Baptist Young People's Union of Sc.ot.t.', <4 Creek Bapitist church sponsored a study course of the B. Y. P. U. Manual.

Tt was ovei llii- route that lie went from his H'nutti r home at High Hampton to accept the nomination as Governor of South Carolina Ln 1870. About six miles from the State line on tli.? South Carolina side a large Reconstruction Camp has been built. This ramp also bears the .name of Wade !Iaa> pton, and it was there on August 1 7. that a beautiful stone marker bearing the name of General Han ptoli -pid these dates ''1876-1933' was iniv.ihd with appropriate and inipressi v?? t-.cyunonius. including the raising of the Hag of our country. 0.n tliis ?occasion an interesting and interested observer was an old colored man, clad in a flaming red shirt, the h?st survivor of a band of 14!{ Kejii'oisS wlio voted for llamp ton for Governor in the ltc<l Shirt campaign of '76. Camp Wade Hamilton is in charge of Capt. Sledge, and is not only ad mirably situated,' but appears to be most efficiently managed. There are 183 boys in ramp tlfere. Col. R. T. .layncs, who has been most active in securing the establishment of this camp, states that the boys will he used in constructing the Wade Hampton Highway from High way No. 2, near Walhalla to the North Carolina line. The government has instructed Capt. Sledge to ar range to care lor 00 additional men from Northern camps, during the winter, making a total of 243 for the road work. In the early fifties of! the last cen tury, a railroad was projected from Walhalla through Rabun (Jap to Kaoxville, and tie great Stump House Tunnel construction was begun i.i about 1 8.")3. Work was suspended when the War Ret ween the States came on, and I he project was never lesiiiii-d. The Stump House tunnel was to be two miles in length, and ;>!! but ajse t 1">00 feet Was com pleted. This tjMinel was driven through grai:i'e, and great piles of pir'idid mail 'is ruction stone re main pil.d at lli:' llipuths of the tun ?W l and il - '? |; of the several .-.baft : a'o ^ ii ? route.

Tt is the l.op;> of Western Carolina, and ( sw.eiiilly f Jackson county, that Highway 1<10 will be completed to the State line by Hie time the work is fini'hed "n 'lie South CaiV oliaa side. t" A grea* 'hroi,g of Sonlh Carolina people and a goodly number of North Carolinians were in attend ance on the occasion of the unveil ing of the Hampton marker, and were jubilant over the prospect of this important and historic highway being completed rapidly. Any one traveling over this road from Cashiers to Hi'rhway 2, in South Carolina will be greatly re paid, and the trip can be comfort* ably made in dry weather.
