It can b. adequately described only by calling it a riot on wheels, from the time the train left the Asheville dejmt "until I left it at Sylva, and the riot was i;i a fair way to continue till it got to Murphy. Drinking, cursing, black guarding, pistol shooting and almost everything savage, degrading and in human were indulged in, and the eon chictor and train crew were utterly powerless to enforce order or protect decent passengers from the offensive and indecent conduct of the mob. It could only he looked upon, as a burn ing disgrace to the boasted civiliza I (ion of the nineteenth century, to Uiiuk that such a thing could realh exist in this uountrv.

OiPENS NEW GATE Mrs. Floyd Askey has just opened an attractive eating place, in fhe legal building, in the rooms formerly occupied by the Union Bm Station. i Merchants in Sylva report that the j holiday trade, so far, is the best that they have had in years, and that pros pects are that Saturday and next week will he record-breaking for th< five year |>eriod. The general iraprow ment in business conditions is held to he pertly responsibel for the increase The Sylva slioj? are well-stocked with an especially good array of mer ehandise for the holiday trade, and are attractively decorated for the Yuletide season. That many remarkably low-priced articles, suitable for Christmas giv ing, are to be found in Sylva, ha; been frequently remarked during th ? week-; and more and more the peopl ??f this trade territory are realiinii the splendid advantages Sylva offer as a shopping center. The range of selections is wide, and the prices are reasonable. The wis? shoppers who come to Sylva to do their trading are saving money, not only on their purchases, but also on transportation to larger towns. As the Christmas buying season gains momentum during the remain ing eight days, it, is expected that the shops will be thronged with wise shoppers, who believe in buying at home, where they can find what they want, and can save money on what they buy. Many Jackson County people, and those from adjoining counties, make up their Christmas list, read through the advertisements in The Journal, knowing that the best merchants arc Journal advertisers, and then conn list in hand to Sylva, and seek out the stores, whose advertisements they have seen in The Journal. A list of the retail plances in Sylva. that is inside the corporate limits, and exclusive of filling stations and re* tan ra nth, includes: Rayrond Glenn, Jeweler, Sylva Pharmacy, Mcdford Furniture Company, Hooper's Drug Store, Sylva Furniture Company, Svl va Supply Company, Stovall's Fruif Store, The Leader, Jackson Hardware Company, Clouse and Warren, The Radio r?nop, ftcmuman'S i/qmiiuici Store, Hale's, Stovall's 5 and 10 Cent Store, Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co..

The program, n debate on wheth er the world \\a.> becoming better 01 gradually iroinu" t<> the bow-wows, wa very well prepared and deliverer!, with an enthusiasm which broughi howls of lausht* r from those gathered around the Rotary tabic. The optim istic point of view was upheld by Jack Walters and Charley Poindestei who took advantage of the time a! loted them by bringing up every pos nible improvement they could get in. Charley conldta't oven stop to catch his breath, so great was the context of his argument. They were opposed I by the long fared, grim looking poss imists, Doc Chapman, and Tom Wolf ? . who told their tales of woe in dejee' ed and discouraged tones. E. L , McKee made the remark thai/ even' though Doe Chapman had not opened his mouth in defense of his pessimis tic opinion, he would have won tin debate on the way he looked. We arc pleased to hear that our neighboring town, Bry -ni City, has formed a Rotary club and we wish them great success. The'r club is meeting at the present time at th-> Freeman house on Thursday evening. This will give the members of Sylvs: Rotary a chance to mnkc np any meeting which they are unable to attend here.
