G ' ) Huge Black Bear Is Killed In Caney Fork Balsams A foot of one of the largest bear killed in recent years, was attracting ? a great dv'al of attention in Svlva, | last week, when it was on exhibition j on the front of an automobile. Sixteen hounds, and fifteen men eombrjied in bringing the big biuin to his end, and incidentally stopping his depredations among sheep and other stoek, up Caney Fork way. It was iast Wednesday morning that tho bear fight occurred, partici pated in by hunters from both Jack son and Haywood sides of the Caney Pork Balsams, and some of the fam ? " 1 ous bear dogs of the region. Among Ihe dogs taking part in the hunt and fight was a part of the pack belonging to Wilburn Parker, of Spruce, veteran of many hunts. Lester Parker was credited with hav ing fired the shot that killed the bear, though both Ralph Parker and Holmes Parker had opened fire. ."Winner, one of Wilburn Parker's t | dogs, was seriously hurt in the fight, J while Hardwood, and Maud, two of I his other dogs did gallant work, as | did two pups, belonging to W. R. ?Enloe,- of Dillsboro, that are being trained with Parker's dogs. The bear was killed 011 Beach Ridge in the Bear Wallow region, on the Jaokso'i county side of the Bal sams, oil the property of .the Black wood Lun i>er Company. The dogs and hunters tiackcd the big bear from where he had killed a hog the night before. Another huge bear had been with the o.ne killed, acrording to "sign" read by the hunters. The running fight between bear and dogs lasted about half an hour, and covered more than a mile of ground. It is said that it has been many years since there were as many bear in the Balsams as is the case this year, and a number of sheep and hogs have fallen prey to their de predations. WEEK By WEEK (By DAN TOMPKINS) Maine, first f^ate in the Union to adopt prohibition, joined the repeal l>aradc, on Monday. Tuesday, Mary land, Colorado and Minnesota joined the parade, bringing the total to 29 States that have voted to adopt the 21st Amendment, and none against. Ft is apparent that the 18th Amend ment is doomed. It is possible that North Carolina eoidd start the tide the other way, bat not probable. Ad mit ting that the prohibition amend ment is doorr-ed, there is no reason f?r either wets or drvs to fail to nee that the only issue that will be settled by the vote in North Carolina mi November 7, is what policy this State will follow as a State, regard ing Prohibition. If North Carolina votes dry, the General Assembly will in all probability maintain the in tegrity of the State prohibition laws. If the State votes wet, the probabil ity is that it will thereby write the doom of prohibition in this State. It is up to North Carolina people to say their say on November 7. The 21st Amendment, the one which it seems inevitable will replace the 18th, for bids the transportation of liquor from a wet State to a dry onte, in violation of State laws, thus putting the force of the federal government behind the maintenance of the State's rights to regulate or forbid the sale of liquor in the erercise of its police power. If, after the Amendment is repealed, there should be an extra session of the General Assembly to deal with the liquor situation in this State, most members of the law-mak ing body would cast their votes as the people of their counties vote in November, taking a wet majority ii> a county to mean that the people are wet. The course of events, while they have brought higher prices for labor and farm products, have also in creased living costs, thus leaving the purchasing power of a bale of cotton or a day's labor, at about what it was before the increase came. This is the reason why the demand becomes more insistent that the currency be in flated, as the only way out for dis tressed fanners, to save the small business man, , and the owner of the; mortgaged home or farm.. A thou sand one dollar bills, worth 50c each would m.iv a thousand (foliar debt ? ? jiu-t the ?ame as a thou.sn 4 o?ie dollar Li II-: worth $2.00 each; and it is debt, personal, county, and municipal that( has reen crushing the people. Tt seems likely that a currency inflation will be the next relief step. ) The State Board of Education de clined to follow the recommendation of the State School Commission, and give the teachers of the public schools a raise of 10 per cent. The Governor and others interested in the finances of the State, aside from schools, are on the Board of Education; and it appears that the idea is to take the overplus of the sales tax and apply it on bond payments instead of rais ing the pay of teachers above the low salary schedule adopted. Seems we have some recollection of the mem bers of the General Assembly saying that the sales tax, if passed, must be earmarked for schools. It was cer tainly the intention of the Legislature Will Observe Home Coming Day Next Sunday At Webster Next Sunday at the Baptist church at Webster, is to be held a home coming, for former members and friends of the church, at which time a program will be rendered, from 9:45 in the morning, with the Sun day School, and closing with an ad dress at three o'clock in the after noon. Dinner will be served at twelve o'clock, on the grounds of the church, and those in charge of the exercises arc inviting and urging all former members and friends of the church to be present. ?'

C., today, the former mayor and present chamber of commerce head much improved in health and ready for the winter's work. Baggett emphatically flcnied im ports that he will ruu for any office whatever this winter, claiming he finds chamber of commerce work more agreeable than political office. He expressed enthusiasm for the "school self-supporting sales tax'' just put into effect in North Caro lina, which he said has enabled the state to chop one third of its ad valorem levies. "This would be a life saver for Florida, " he said. ? Daytona Beach News-Journal, . Sept. 8. MASON DIES UNDER WAGON Luther Mason, 85, brother of .T. J. Mason, of Dillyboro, Mrs. X. L. Sutton, of ?ylva and William Mason, of Beta, was crushed to death be neath the wheels of his wagon, near his home at Candler, Friday afternoon Mr. Mason, who was well known in Western North Carolina, was in com pany with his son, James. They had filled the wagon and started through a field to the road, when the brakes gave way, throwing Mr. Mason under the wagon. to give the teachers the benefit of any surplus sales tax money above the estimate to compensate them for any possible raise in commodity prices. There is no justice in taking money that was intended for schools and using it to pay New York bond holders, and I doibt if the members of the General Assembly, which passed the sales tax and the school law would approve what seems to me to be a diversion of funds from sales I taxes above the estimate.
