$7.50 YEAE IN ADVANCE IN THE COUNTY SYLVA, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1930. $2.00 YEAR IN ADVANCE OUTSIDE THE COUNT* PRESIDENT WILL SPEAK TO PEOPLE Washington, Sept. 2<* ? I?ok for sort of u Htatnnxmt tihortly ,'i.nii 1'ivsident RooseveM designed to business and industry (thai prolit system is not going to be ims! niul that there is nothing to .. i v about. Those in close touch ,uih the President and his intimate :nlv isers say that he intends to make . ,,inc utieranee shortly. This, coming ,,n i he heels of reassuring statements U Cabinet members and otheis, will i mieiided to offset the rising tide ,.t dissatisfaction with the methods i he l\' eeovery program. 1 low far any statements from any miii re, e van go in that direction re gain* 10 be seen. There is a strong l?.j i | here, shared by many of the mine conservative members of the Administrator, that Washington does not yet realize now deep and wide ??prcad the demand really is tor radi cal clianges in the prograuu. L aving political and partisan an ??li-s out of consideration ? for most of the serious criticism is not partisan in its origin, but comes from sources jill over t he country, which are suffer ing economic distress because of what t he v believe are impractical theories, i here is little or no personal criticism ot the President. On the contrary, :? l,?.|?e amounting almost to belief that when he fully understand^ t lie situation he will use his powerful 1, a.lership to set matters right. There was nothing political in the v,, i.-t meeting at Hot Springs, Va., of ) ,u of the nation's foremost- indus tiiah>ts a week or so ago ait which the whole New Deal was discussed and a f,.nM motive program of amendments to the present set-up was agreed upon W\ much influence ithat may have m>W\\\ of course, can predict. Ru< uii/i h.buiess in general getting no better, ?nJ with prices rising and n.iuis being forced up while profits di-uppeju- and reserves are vanishing, it is not surprising that many of the big industrialists take an extremely gloomy vjew of the situation. liepoit.-; of disaffection among the f tinners in many regions over the AAA ptoirrani are coming into Wash ington in increasing vohtane. Then i> probably more concern in high Ad ministration quarters over that than ovi-r the plaints of the industrialists. Tin- fact that Under-secrctary Tug wcll has gone to Europe on an "in fection trip" of two months or more taken here to signify that he is on his way out, and that his theories will m? longer control the AAA. It must be stlb down as a fact that tli. Administration as a whole learns from experience. Mr- Roosevelt has hall the first to (admit thaft some of liii experiments haven't worked out. just as he nvas frank enough to an nounce at itheir inception that they v.riv purely experiments. So there is -rioiuul for'the belief that the reorgan i/at ion of tho XRA and easing up of it iii-.m* onerous burdens upon indus try, wlvi'-li has I wen discussed freely lor -niiii' time, will actually take place It will take time to unscramble the i l'n Init this Administration is noth ing 1 1 not optimistic, and business nan in touch with matters here are In Tomim; more hopeful that free cotm pi tit ion, which has always been re garded as the "life of trade," will mine bark, although on, perhaps a burlier ??tliical scale. Also, with reser \ at ions permitting "cartels" or sim ilar combinations in industries in which competition is not based u|>on \ i :iin. is in the product. "m- meat reform which scorns to on the way will involve funda I i hanges in the banking system ii- a whole. It is no new discovery 'ii it tin- banking system in the United -Mile* is the worst in the worjd; ec "'"ii isis and bankers having been * ?' y i n it thiit for forty years. ! lie recent conference of govern 1'iefit financial departments and bank '?^miners has resulted in placing the principal resjionsibilitv f?r bank ex ?"?liiuilions with the Federal Deposit liMirance Corporation, and instruc tion* to examiners not to order loans 'In wi out where the interest has ''ecu promptly paid, even though there lias been no reduction in principal.

Critical tlfe logiaus may net: approve their doc lues ? I don't even know what they are ? and formal ritualists may frown ' poll its methods; but I think ther?? is pretty nearly unanimous agreement that the Army reaches down and lifts up more of the submerged and hope 'es< Ithan all the churches. BARGAINS . . . in property People with ready cash? and there :ire still a lot of tluvn ? are hunting bargains these days. And a good manv ot fhem, to my knowledge, are pitt ing their money uito land and build ings, confident that the rise from the present low juices will not be long i delayed. One 300-acre dairy farm, well stocked with ample buildings in good repair, which its owner held at $25, 000 only five years ago, was sold the other day in my neighborhood for $7,500. The buyer laved down ready cash. T know of 5 other farm projier ties that have changed hands for cash near, my home in the past month, at figures from half to a third whwt they were held at lately; and one great estate a few miles from me, in which more than a quarter of a mil lion dollar^ had been invested, went for $25,000 because it he owners had to have cash. , v. Money will buy better bargains to day than at any time in the past (twenty vears. PRICES . . . today There is a good deal of nonsense being talked about commodity prices. Foodstuffs are going up rapidly; no question about that. But that is not true in the case of manufactured goods. The automobile code fixes a defi nite "trade-in" price on every ujwH car. I thought of trading in a 1920 Ford against credit for a new car next Spring, and approached the local dealer. "I can only allow you $90 in trade," he said, "but I have cash buycra looking for nsed cars like yours, and if you tell me to sell it for your account I can get $150 or more' 'i I had a furnace concern go over my old farmhouse, which has relied on stoves and fireplaces for 150 years. They estimated $950 for a heating plant. I told thtvn to go fatrher. Next week they were beak with an offer io install the plant for $450. I dickered wtih them a while and (the price came down -to $375, with $25 off that for cash. 0\? RUMMAGE an economy An annual event in my home town may provide the means tor backing pp the "manage! currency" program of the Administration. Look for much more serioirs and im aitial consideration ot the Labor situation this Fall and Winter. It fe too soon to predict what ithe attiudr of the next Congress will Im? on this or any other question, but in the Ad ministration the feeling is growing that the free hand granted to organ ized labor has not proved entirely a success Much study is being given to the way in which England and Aus tralia have handled the labor question which has been a matter of Govern, ment concern in those countries for many years. / . The principle of making labor or ganizations as responsible as empjoy incc corporations, by reqnmng them ^incorporate and so become subject to the same sort of Governmental reg ulation as industry is under, is being ?riven a good deal of attention. There seems to be a sti^ong pirobability, in any event, that Federal laws defining "justifiable" and "unjustifiable" strikes, the right of picketing, pro hibition of intimidation and punvdr fent for lawlessness will at least be proposed.

A ul it is amazing how well-to-do women flock to fthe sale and buy other folk's cast-otfs. My wife tends the ladies' hat coun ter at these rummage Miles. This year she had to dispose of a grealt quanti ty of fine hats bearing labels of fash ionable New York, Newpoiit, Boston, and even Paris shops, discarded by women of the wealthy families in the count} But, she told me, among the buyers of these hats, at from 25 cents down, were women whose hus bands have always been accounted wealthy, or at least w.?ll off. They were frank to admit that they, like evervbody else, hud to iH*onoroizc. INVESTMENTS .... a search One of my neighbors rcceutJy cam-; into a good many thousand in ca h, the proceeds of his fathefs life in surance. He asked several business friends, including two halikers, to suggest sound, safe investments. Everyone he asked threw up his hands. My friend had no use for an other home or1 any more land, and he did no* want to take a speculative chance with the money. Finally he decided to buy a joint annuity for himself and wife? they are both close to sixty? payable as long as cither of ithem lives. He found he ould gU $3,500 and more a year for 'lis fifty thousand" dollars, or better ? han 7 per cent on his capital. That, he de' .ied and his banker i . ? rrpeod , was about as .close; to securi ty as anyone can get these dayB.

Ovit-r near Webster iu a long brick I construction live the blind, the aged the j>oor, the hu.i.elcss, tin* friendless. \es, it is the County lloiue of Jack so.i county. So few prcaciters ever visit there it is a shame and a dis grace io i he preachers 4.1' liJiis county, these pcopLe are so app.eciative of any religious service; they appreciate .vith an theii hearts an\ little thing I halt, is done for them, lea it is sucu a good opportunity l\n' the ii.

U. of any (church iu the .county to go over there in a body oil Sunday ai teruoon and put on a progiam there, yes, it is such a good opportunity lor an Kpworth League or any kyoung people's union or group to visit the coutity home with :i religious service. Sunday school classes and teachers can cap-iv their class out there and every Jri'racher in the etrtin ity should get out of his la/iness and get over there in least once a year ? "If ye did it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto me. ' ' Revivals are most over now and the ]>eople feel secure for the win-, ler. That's the general ailtiude of the average mail. Well, the only test of a revival is the ]>eriiiancnt good that it does. It is not the shouting aiieople of this section a:id county are listening and watching and studying the | candidate*. - The people of this county do ap preciate the stand brother Dan has taken iu regard to the advertisement of beer and if every county editor in America would follow the same ride and fighit the evil of beer and liquor, the American people would soon see their mistake. Liquor is only good in case of emergency and when the depression is over it will slowly lose its popularity in Amer ica for sin and evil can never win in the long run.'

The Thirtieth Division, the combat troops that broke the Hindcnburg Line, that had been considered im pregnable, and that had held against all allied assaults for four long years, was composed largely of men from ?the two Carotirias and Tennessee. The feat, considered one of the great and important battles of all history, and perhaps the decisive bat tle of the GreaJt, War, was performed on September 29, 1918. Many veterans of the Thirtieth liv;* in this county, as the Waynesville .Military Company and the Sylva Ra dio Company, in which most of the volunteers from this county enlisted, formed units of the famous Thirtieth NBA WORK DISCONTINUED All NERA work in rural sections of the State has been discontinued, it has been announced by Mrs. Thom as 0 'Berry, State Relief Adminis trator, who srtated that it is due to the seasonal increase in farm em ployment in harvesting and marketing cotton, tobacco, and other crops that the rural work has been discontinued.
