That creates much the same sort of a situ ation that existed in 1896, when both the Republicans and the Democrats vied with each other to see how much thev could grab off for them selves of the platform of the vigorous young third party, the Populists. Be tween them they killed the. Populist party, but its doctrines survived and every one of them is now the law of the land, save, only the free coinage of silver; and that seems closer now than at any time in nearly forty years. -->.?<?' ?

Long, of Franklin, secretary 'rea surer of the FranJcl'n Proidnctio: ' Credit Association has just receive! word from Governor W. I. Myers of the Farm Credit Administration i' Washington, D. C., that the interes ?ate on new loans from productioi credit association^' has been reduce#' from 5V2 to 5 per cent. Accord'ng to Mr. Long the new 5 |>er cent interest rate becomes effect ive immediately, on all new loans and advances made by the association anil will be applicable until further no Hfcr ? ? "The new interest rate of 5 pe: cent will not affeot loans already ad vanoved in full," Mr. (Long said. 'These will continue to bear the rate >f interest prevailing at the time he loan was closed.' The interest ?hargrs on loans from the association "?.re collected when the loans mature. The Franklin Production Credit as sociation is now -ranking loans on. icceptable crop and chattel secur'-tj to farmers ini Macon. Clay. Cherokee Graham, Swain and Jackson counties, v; "The reduction of the interest to per cent on new loans," Mr. Long continued, "is made possible by a recent sale of Federal intermediate credit bank debentures to' investors at an unusually low rate of interest. The association gets ' money to liuia farmers from the Federal in termed iate credit bark of Columbia. "The lowering of the interest rate on new loans to 5 per cent is the second reduction,' in two months, the rate having been reduced from 6 to 5% per cent on March 16 "According to Governor Myers, said Mr. Long, "the Federal inter rocdiate credit bank is passing on immediately to farmer-borrowers from production credit associations the saving made possible by lower cost of getting* motley. The confidence of investors in the security of the intermediate credit banks has been such that the banks are able to get money to lend at thie lowest discount rate in their history. Governor Myers says that the resulting low rate ct interest on production ereidit associa tiom loans is enabling farmer-borrow ers to save thousands: of dollars on the cost of their farming operations this year. If the associations make sound loans, and loans that are col lectible, an adequate supply of low cost rronev will continue to be avail able." ?: * . Consult your County Avertt or E. "W.

Wes Bryson Is Declared Outlaw By Judge Alley , In Proclamation Issued i * I Wrote Bert Editorial v ; ATLANTIC, Iowa . . . Shown ?bore is the moet recent photo of Editor B. P.

B> that he meant someone who had ev erything done for him and was in capable or afraid of doing or trviu to do anything for himself. I think looking ba?k over the preceding pai agraphs, that I have been taking : leaf out of Col. Roosevelt's book. There isn't any way to conn; them, bat it seems to me that mollj coddfes are a great deal more nuiuer ous now than they used to be whei Col; Roosevelt and I were boll young. I wonder, sometimes, whethe> 111# WfKdT U?la v IPfl" If*' Unfiled be anything else. Keeping boys ii school until they are sixteen, forbid ding them to work if they are unde eighteen, seems td me to be excell*-'" ways of rearing mollycoddles.

DEFEATISM . . . since the war I am sometimes aghast as I lister to young folk talking about then being no opportuuities left. Then seems to have grown up s; tree th war a school of thought which I cat only characterise as "defeatism," i belief that the last frontier has l>ee; conquered and there is I no mon chance for enterprising youth to sai isfy the spirit of adventure and th. urge to rue by his own efforts. Unfortunately that feeling ha been encouraged by those in higl place who ought to know better. 1 cannpt- help feeling that President Roosevelt did not stop to think hi: subject through before he promulgat ed the notion that -this, country har become so wnapletriy.. settled am1 explore*! that there is nothing ahea?' foT the young except -to find a gooo safe hole and erawl into it. And that the government mst help them find the holes. 8B0UR1TT . . . Ave is none There is no sash thing as seeqrrij^y. of property, of ineome, of artptyife}' else, for thai matter. How caa^mrc be, when there is no security oflife itself? One of the present day tendencier that makes me wonder whether there are uafc a lot of wrong ideas in cir culation is the idea that so manj youngsters hare that they are en titled, to security, to a job as soon as tbev graduate from high school 01 eollege, to a safe place jn. which to earn big money for little work. I think that idea, that everybody is entitled to security, has been fos ,tcred- by- the distribution of enorm ous sums of pnblie money to persons who have rendered no return for it and who, in many instances, could have god by, somehow, without it. 11 may take us a long time to get back to the realization that unearned se curity is the brand of the paupp*. AdVENTUSE . ? . means risk The (?ily life worth living is the adventurous life. I do not mean by that that everyone should be an ex plorer or run into needless risks, but I do mean that the most dqgpading and softening influence upon knaan I Judge Felix E. Alley, resident? judge of this juddeial district, issued a proclamation of outlawry against Wes Bryson, Cashier's V alley man, who is alleged to have fired upon K. E. Bumgarner, and his father-in-law, T. A. Dillard, prominent Cashier's citizen, and former chairman of tb'J Board of County Commissioners, as they were walking down the road in Cashiers, Saturday morning, last. Mr.'. Dillard was struck in the leg, and was given surgical treatment. He is recovering ait his Cashiers home. j Jackson county officers have been searching for Bryson since the inci dent, Saturday and have been unable to apprehend him. Bryson is a son of Bob Bryson, and a brother of Frank Bryson, who was shot and killed by K. E. Bumgarner, a nephew of Judge Alley, in Cashiers, last January 3. Bumgarner was triedl at the February term of court of Jack son county on a charge of murder, He entered a plea of self defense, and was acquitted by the jury Bumgarner made the affidavit up on the basis of which Judge Alley issued his proclamation of outlawry against Wes Bryson. The affidavit alleged that Wes Bryson, alias Dick Bryson, made a secret assault upon Mr. Bumtgflaraer and, Mr. Dillard, and that he has both publicly and privately, in recent weeks, made repeated threats that he purposes to kill Kay Bumgarner, T. A. Dillard, H. A. Pell, H. A. Pell, Jr., Thad Cloer, Eb Bumgarner, War ren Alexander, Chris Passmore and Weaver Swayngum. All the men namde in the proclamation, as being the objects of Bryson's threats, were interested in the trial of Bumgarner, either as witnesses or otherwise, in the superior court at Sylva, last February; and all of them, except Mr. Swayngum, live in Cashiers Valley. - ffry' TfrtfrrtMHfttion J rails opart Bry son to surrender himself to th?? Sheriff of Jackson; county, command* the sheriff to take such power as is necessary to apprehend Bryson, and warns Bryson that if he fails to im mediately surrender himself that any citizen of the Slate may capture, him and bring him to justice, and m ca*o of flight or resistance, after bewtr called upon to surrender, may slav him without accusation or impeach ment of any crime. Judge Alley ordered that copies of . the proclamation be j>osted at the door of the Jackson county court house, in Sylva, at Glenville and nt Cashier's Valley, and that a copy bo published in The Journal. The proclamation states that it has < been made to appear to the eonrt that Bryson is a furtive from justice, concealing himself in the fastnesses j of mountains and forest in upper ? Jackson county, or elsewhere, and evading arrest, and that the usual processes of law cannot be served upon him.
