CADDIES DISCLAIM DEING WD' DY ROBERT MATHIS ( \ . ) The following letter, from the cad dies al the Sylva Country Club, is by way of their explanation of the caddy strike, referred to in The .Journal of last week, aad is publish ed at their request. "It was printed in this pt?j. u" last week about the caddie slnile at the country club, and said that Bob Mathis was the caddie rulei. There is, no caddie ruler out there. There were four of us got the strike up; Hob Matins, Major Allison, Wiood row Cowan-, u.nd the names of all of who joined us are: Bill Bumgarncr, Hook Painter, Harry Allison, An drew Allison, Frank Bryson, Wil liam Ashe, Bill Cowan and also Char lie Bumgarncr, the green fee collec tor.1 The next day C. Z. Candler, S. W. I- j doe, M. B. Madison and Mr. Wolf, Meihodist pastor, came out for a round of golf, but did not ask us to caddie for then:. Charlie had told them that we were on a strike, so they started off and Mr. Joe and Charlie Bumgarncr caddying for the four mi.il. Mr. S. W. Knloe called all of til:- caddies out and told us for us to sret off the grounds of the golf course, that they could get their cad dies in the town of Svlva.< We all I : ft f::r a ft w days and Charlie said Mr. S. W. Knloe said if the boys wanted to come back and caddie lor 35 cents for 18 holes to come 011 back. Mr. Bulk Painter, Kdd Painter, Jo:* Bumsrarner and Charlie had hee;i caddying ever since we got orders to stay off the grounds, so we studied the matter over and thought: it would be better for us to go back and caddie it we had to caddie for 10 cents a round than, to let the mar ried men fret in a habit laying around there. I guess it would have been the best thing that ever happened if Mr. K11I0 ? had given us orders to .never come back for if it wasn't for that we would be at home doing something at home. We have been down there all summer and I don't guess there is a caddie that averaged two dollars a month this year. We just asked for 15 cents on 18 holes. 1 don't th'-nk Mr. Knloe would have cared to give the caddie boys the 15 cent raise, what the old price used to be, for be always gave his caddie Irom 10c to 50c. Mighty near all the time alt of the boys delighted in caddying iW Mr. Knloe. But 011 the other hand there was a (jolfer to come out and just played nine holes, and .nine holes is 20c; 18 holes is .15c, but he equals that 35 cents to 17 cents, 'and then did not have the change 'lie wanted. He wanted a half cent to make it seventeen and a half cents. But Mr. Bumgnrner did not have a half cent piece and he finally gave his caddie 18 cents for nine holes. We are trying to organize 11 caddie club for those fellows who are .not able to pay their caddie and if we gi't it organized and if they are not able to pay their green fee we will all chip in aiul pay it for them, for a man lias fcot to have something for eveiv'se. If we don't get it organized this season we will try to get in tune for the 1031 season. It don't seem like the same plane at the golf course. Nobody there but Charlie, aJid he looks like In has got the blues away 011 down in his shoes. He always was, before the strike, laughing and talk ing and having a fox chase all the time. But T think we, will get this strike settled before many years, and hope we gi't the 15 cenit raise 011 the 18 holes. I think most of the caddies have gone back to the Sylva Country club. So all the ladies and gentlemen who would like to spend the after noon at the golf course, we all wish you jov and happiness. LOCAL DOCTOR ON PROGRAM Dr. fl rover Wilkes, of Sylva, road n paper on "Reduction of Maternal Death Hate," at the meeting of the Tenth District Medical Society, in Hurnsvillc, yesterday. The Tenth District is composed of the connt'es of Avery, Buncombe, H'nvwood, Cherokee, Graham, Macon, Clay, Madison, Mitchell, McDowell, Jackson, Polk, Swain, Transylvania, and Yancey. Dr. Harley Lyle of Franklin, First Vice President of the society, pre sided at the meeting. 40 YEARS AGO Tucksseige Democrat, Sept. 27, 1893 Prof. E. R Mangom spent last night hero and went over to Ashoville this morning. Messrs. Zachary an<l Allison ship l?e<l a car load of she;p yesterday and Mr. Kitchen of Clay, a ear load of cattle! Several miles of new rail" is being distributed on both sides ??f- us and is soon to be laid. No matter how Soon it is done, it certainly will not be before it is needed. - ? Mr. .Fas. ]{. Love has brought iu a fresh apple blossom, caused to bloom this late by the continued fine weather and lateness of frost. , Mr. Love also has our th^uiks for a pres ent of extra fine sweet potatoes. The singular appearance of the oak trees of certain varieties is ex citing considerable speculation as to the cause. Soon after the great storm, which caused such destruction on the coast, the leaves of a portion cf the trees in the woods began to change very much as if the tiees were dyiiif?. The change is different from the usual natural change in the fall, and begun to take place sev eral weeks ago. ().nly certain local ities and certain trees seem to be affected, the leaves of the red oak and post oak being now a dull, dark color on certain ridges while other oaks growing alongside the affecteil trees look as green and vigorous as ever. Generally the changing of the foliage is limited to those trees which naturally shed their leaves earliest, such as the' poplar, black gum, etc. Some say the affected trees are showing the effect of the severe cold of last January, while* others attribute the damage to the late storm. On account of the c<?ntiiit?*c\ ill ness of Judge A nil t ic M no court is being hold this. week. Jurors si ml witnesses vere dismissed bv the Sheriff Monday. Tlis.t the Judge was not coming became generally known and only ;i .small crowd w:i!? present. The failure to hold court subjects the county to considerable extrsi ex pense, which, added to the lack of a jail and the severe damages to roads and bridge by the Isite freshet, presents a condition demanding the wisest and most economical manage ment of county finances. It is hoped and believed that our Board of Com missioners will prove equal to the oc casion and limit the expenses to the lowest practicable point. The subject of a special term of court is being discussed, but it seems impossible to secure ft judge until winter. From , ? <*C.II.J.," Warrior, Ala.: Yesterday at 2:30 o'clock, Mrs. Sarah Jean Brvson, wife of R. .T. Brvson, died at her home ?t this place, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Bryson had been i.n Alabama, just two years vnd hud been in very fioor health. The Brvsons came here from Jackson County, N. C., and have many friends and relatives there. Mrs. Brv son was a Fisher and was connected with the Fishers of .Tackson County. She was forty-five years old and leaves ii husband, a son, one married and two single daughters. Our community was painfully I shocked last Saturday morning by the announcement of the death of Rev. S. H. Harrington. Having pass ed through town only a little more than a week previous, in the appar ent enjoyment of good health, cheer ful and happy, the news of his death was altogether unexpected and. dis tressing. As the pastor of the Bap tist church here he had become well known and by his uniform sunny, cheerful disposit:on and exalted Christian character he had endeared hiirself to not only the members of his own church, hut to those of other dennminntions as well. Indeed he con-majided. the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in con tact. The writer deems himself as specially fortunate in having enjoyed the friendship of one, who ,as preach er and pastor, was so faithful, con scientious and earnest, as a friend so loyal and true, as a man so up right and blameless, and begs the privilege of pnyincr this jmor trib ute to his cherished memory, assur >ng his bereaved family of) our sm pprost sympathy. Expenditure Of $70,000 Within Sylva City Limits Is Planned By Commission CABBAGE HAULER DIES UNDER WHEELS OF TRUCE George Piiiiieiuan, oi' Greenville, S. C., was instantly killed, Friday morn ing, when a truck, loaded with 1 I<im burg cabbage, ran over his body, be tween Cashier's and Fairfield. Pinnemaii ha<l bought and loaded same 8,000 pounds of Hamburg cab bage, and bad started with pro- j duco to Greenville. Twt? negroes were with him, one driving. The truck was going down the mountain this side of Fairfield, when it got out of control of the driver. A State highway truck was standing in the highway, and the negro driving the Pinnemaii truck crashed, into it. .lust before the crash, Pinnemaii jumped to the ground and fell under the truck, the heavy load passing over his body.

That the State Highway Commis sion will spend the sum of $70,000 or more on the const ruction of an overhead bridge and relocation o? Highway Xo. 10 into Sylva, at the eastern end of the town seems as sured. -\ delegation of Sylva men met with Mr. Frank .Miller, of Waynes ville, and .Mr. Walker, district engineer, on last Friday at the Bat tery Park hotel, in Ashcvillo con cerning the project. Mr. Walker in formed t li?- delegation that two sur veys of the mute have been made, and Mr. Miller stated that he will bring the matter to the attention of the Iliuhwav Commission, when it meets on Friday, and reeommejid that the work be done in the imme diate future. It was pointed out at the meeling that the funds t h m t will be allocated to this project cannot be used on the construction of Highway 1%, for the reason that of the ten million dollars federal funds to be spent on | highway construction in North Car ! olina, the leileral government makes j it mandatory thai one fourth of the total amount be spent in the incor porated towns and cities on projects on federal highways, for the purpose of providing jobs for the jobless in lieu of th' relief doles. Air. Miller pointed out that the money must be spent on this project or that it can not be expended in the county. ]?7ith this understanding, and in view of the fact as < xplaincd by the commis sioner that the money can not be vscd on Highway 106, the Jackson delegation n quested that the com missioner do all in his power to fur ther the project of the overhead bridge and the relocation of High way No. 10. It is believed that the construction of the bridge this win ter will go far toward relieving un employment in .lackson county, and with that in view it is believed that the commission will act favorably re garding it at the meeting oji Friday in Raleigh. F.ngineers and represent atives of the Highway Commission have bee.n in Sylva recently looking into the matter, and have recom mended t lie project as one of the many that are to be constructed this winter inside the towns as relief measures, a part of the federal gov ernment's iceovery program.
