T. 0. Culloo'w hee, April 22 ? Jackson couii ty students came in for lion's share of honors in the various selections re cently held at Western Carolina Teachers College. Ned Tucker of Ocdlowhee was elect ed president of the newly-organized Day Student Council, as well as presi dent of the Student Assembly for next session. Ernest Wilson, of. Sylva. is another Jacksonite on the Student Senate. Dot Higdon, Burch Allison, Herbert Gibson, John Wilson, ,Fr., of Sylva, we^-e also candidates for the Senate. This in itself is an honor, a-s the candidates are named by thror re active college classes. Tbe student body simply elects by popular vot* the members of the Senate from th?* "?;t nominated by the various classes. For Jackson to have six of the four teen nominated for this governing body is quite a distinction, Bi>.vch Al I'snon was elected business nuanagei "or next year of both student publi ations, The Catamount, and the Western Carolinian. Matit Parker, of Tnckaseigee, was made vice-president of the Day Stqdent Council. Lawson Allen, Sylva, won the hon or last year in being selected by the faculty and students as the Best Col lege Citizen among the young men. The preliminary selections have been made this year from which the final selection is to be made by a joint faculty-student committee. In the se lection of the preliminary group from which the best college citizens will be finally selected, the faculty and stu dents agreed on the same two young men: Lawson Allen, of Sylva, and Marslwill Watterson, of Dana, Hen derson county. The three girls select ed included Frances Brown, of Cullo whee, Rachel Williams, of Cabarrus county, and Velma Greene, of Nash county. Frances Brown recently had a further honor, in being, Qtt^-.of Iha. three students to be sent to New Or leans ns delegates to the South-wide Student Government Conference. Miss Brown was also recently voted the most scholarly member of the four yena senior class. Margaret Coward, of Cullowhee, and Dolt Higdon, of Sylva, were elected members of the Queen's court for the May Day Festival. "Raleigh, April 20, Dear Dan : I have road your inter esting article in the Jackson County Journal of Thursday, April 38, and while I ean't agree with you thht 'hero is anything like a conspiracy to bofitle up Sylva or to reduce its im portance in the western scheme of things, 1 do see that y<*n have a good oase in behalf of 106, and I trust that we will be able to do something to improve that road for you. "I might say too that I will be g'ad for you to appear before the Commission and discuss the problems there at any time. Cordially yours, Capris M. Waynick, Chairman". To which we replied on April 22: "Dear Mr. Wuynick: I have your gracious letter of the 20th, and thank von for it. I shall be glad, and the ?eople of this county will be glad to -ipjM'ar before ymir commission at any rime you s.^gesl , and lay our claims "u'loi" the commission, discussing in !he most friendly manner the needs of tin- county anl the injustice which we consider is being done us. The pooj >1:' feel so keenly the need of 106 that they believe that its present state is seriously injuring the entire coun ty, present and future. I think the records in your office will boar out the fact that, with the single excep tion of short 112, from High-way No. 10 to the Swain county line, not a highway of the entire program ha? been constructed in the county that was not at least paid for in part by Jackson county money, either dona ' ion or loan, and that 106 whs the first road asked for in this county, that it I is the one the people of this county' have insisted upon all the time, and that in order to secure it<s construction the county burdened itself with bomd?. I am still of the opinion that the present status amw.nts practically to 'a conspiracy' to defeat the purpose of Jackson county, and I believe that I can prove to your satisfaction, and to that of the people that this Is true. However, the people and I feel that you, the chairman, are friendly to our interests and are disposed to assist (Continued on Page two) Legislative Session*^ ears Sound Of, Closing Gavels ?> (By Dan Tompkins) The Day bill, House committee sub stitute for the original brill, and the House counterpart of the Hill lujaor control bill, pending in the Seuale, was passed by the Houe of Rerpesen tatdves in Raleigh by a vote of 49 to 41 on its second reading last might, as wets in a depleted House overrode their wet compatriots. The bill calls for a referendum on the question of setting up a State-owned chain of stores for dispensing legal liquor Thore was no ease on either side, after the vote, and it is freely predict ed and believed that today when the House reconvenes, enough of the 30 absent members will be back in their seats to defeat the bill on its t&nd and final reading, and to put the well known legislative clincher, a motion to reconsider and to table the no tion, on the top of John Barleycorn's grave, precluding his coming legally to life daring the present session. '? On the other hand, if the lipase does pass the bill, it is almost certain that the Senate will follow su&t, sod that the people will have to express themselves all over again about the liquor business. There was no roll call vote on the bill last night, and it ia certain that one will be foreed today. Many men vote differently when they go down on permanent record, from when they simply yell yes or no, and nobody knows who voted how. Western representatives warned < that the enactment of ttihe bill would1 mean many republicans in the next*. House from mountain and other West-? era counties. Even that would not be so very distasteful to sone easterly leaders, who are qoite jealous of thf growing powor and influence of thd west, and it is believed that many el QUALLA The funeral service of Mrs. Albejk Reagan, formerly Miss Sue who died at her home at OKvet mpa church Tuesday afternoon by Rev.

It carried an estimated deficit of some five million dollars for the biennaum, and went hack to the House, where that body refused to concur in the Senate amendments. A conference committee was appointed, and the con ferees are now wrestling over the same general problems that have be deviled the whole General Assembly during the entire winter and spring. If, when the confer ce* mak? their rapoct, it ia accepted by the two houses, there will be nothing left to do except to make provision for the j budgetary reduction of appropria tions, in case revenue is insufficient, I pass the school mechinery act, adjeo/n | and eome home.

I There have been no major problems ? before the present General Assembly j that were not discussed fully two years ago, no debatable ground that was not the scene of major engage ments then. No far-reaching and fjti damental changes, such as the trans J fer of the school system, on an eightf i months basis, as was done two year* ago, have been proposed. j The Assembly has, however, been de eidedly more liberal in its appropri- !
