Looking Backward
In Jackson County
49-30?-20 years ago I
Tuckaseigee Democrat,
February 28, 1889
The Legislature parsed a bill abolishing
all the white normal schools
in the State, eight in number, and
applying the funds set apart for them
to the county institutes, which will
be held under direction and control
of the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
In the Legislature the joint committee
on the railway commission re
ported a bill to create a commission.
There was a, meeting of the leading
railway officials at Raleigh with the
Legislative committee. Among the
railway men present were Sol Haas,
T. M. R. Talcott, and,A. B. Andrews*
of the Richmond and Danville system;
H. H. vJaters of the Coast Line, and
John C. Winder of the Seaboard system.
It was agreed by the railway
officials that the provision in the bill
that the commission should make
all rates was harsh and improper. It
was also contended that that the
minimum penalty for a violation of
* 11 tirh ir?Vt
the ruies 01 uic tuuuuiaoi^u,
was one thousand dollars, was excessive.
In 'the bill as reported, the
minimum, penalty is made one hundred
dollars. Another change made
in the bill as finally presented is that
the right to elect members of the commission
shall always rest in the Legislature.
More interest is felt in the
measure than any before the legislature.
The news of Rev. Jos. E. Carter's
death will bring sadness to many
hearts. This estimable christian gentleman
died at Hendersonvilla last
Sunday, after a brief illness, of pneumonia.
Mr. Carter, it will be remembered,
was editor of the Western
? * ' e 4imo
North Carolina uapusi iur SUUiC Uiitv>
He was a zealous worker and his loss
will be keenly felt and not easily
supplied.
Messrs. S. A. Davis and R. A. Moore
have fitted up a shop in the rear of
W. A. Enloe & Co.'s store, and are
now prepared to do all kinds of woodwork.
We were shown, this week, a
hack bed, made by these gentlemen,
which shows great skill and reflects
much credit upon the manufacturers.
Our friend, Maj. W. M. Rhea, tells
us that, while attending the Quarterly
i meeting last Sunday, he met with a
family of six persons, all of whom
nave reached mature years, and not
one uses sprits or tobacco in any
form. The instance is no less com.nendale
than it is remarkable. The
family referred to is that of Mr.
t \Tnrk Hooper," of Cullowhee.
The county paper is regarded as the
reflector of the county. It the paper
is sprightly and . prosperous, people
say: "That is a live and progressive
county; it is vforthwhile to examine
that county's claims. If it is languid
and sickly, they say at once: "Thaf
county is dead; no enterprise there."
Which shall they say of Jackson? You
can determine.
Messrs. Coward and Hunter shipped
to Charleston, S. C., this week a mixed
carload, consisting of cattle, hogs,
about 1200 chickens, ducks and tur<?
keys, 1200 dozen egga. These gentlemen
are doing quite a large business
in this line and Jackson's poultry
and egg crop is immense.
Mr. F. H. Leatherwood and hi;
daughter, Miss Lillian, were in towr
today.
During the temporary suspensior
of Jackson Academy, incident upor

SYLVA. NORTH CAROI
Lumber Company
Buys Large Tract
- Announcement was made Wednesday
by the Carr Lumber company of
Plsgah Forest that the 17,000 acre
tract of timber on the O'Connor lands
lying in Transylvania and Jackson
counties had been purchased by the
local concern and that operations on*
the boundary would start immediately.
The O'Connor tract is one of the
few remaining virgin hardwood* timber
tracts in the Appalachian area,
and is covered with a fine growth
which will be manufactured by tjfce
Pisgah Forest concern.
Th* purchase was made from the
Morris-Taylor Lumber company of
Asheville, for an unannounced sum,
and the deal was announced late Wednesday
after all papers had been signed
by the Carr and Morris-Taylor interests.
'
W. W. Croushorn, secretary-treasurer,
and general manager of the Carr
Lumber companay said plans of his
compaany were to sta :t logging in the
vast boundary immediately, and-that
present employes of the Pisgah Forest
company would be used entirely in all,
operations, and that no new workmen
would be engaged at this time,
Mr.; CroUshorn said that under normal
operations, the 17,000 acre, tract
would provide employment for * his
worker^ for a period of around ten
years, and that a very conservative
estimate would place the fine hardwood
on the lands at around 50,000,000
feet.
The hardwoods on the big tract will
be brought to the Pisgah Forest plant
of the company by trucks and rail
? where all Sawing and finishing will be
done. It is probable} tha^ the timber
will be trucked to Lake Toxaway from
I the first cutting on the boupdary, and
shipped by rail to. Pifl^ah Forest

QUININE . . . 800 years old
Malaria has. been one of the most
wide spread scourges of the human
race since the beginning of time. Not
antil modern times was any cure or
palliative for the disease known. Only
within, the past fortKy years was it
discovered that malaria is caused
by the sting pi a certani type of
mosquito. In thickly settled coqntries
mosquito control by draining marshes
oiling standing water, and similar
measures ha spractically stamped
out the disease, but over a large part
pf . the world it is still a scourage,
and th^.only means of combatting
i tis the #se c? quinine.
. In Felj^uary, this year the 300th
anniversary di[ the discovery of quinine
is celebrated. In 1638 an Indian
told a Spanish doctor in Peru of a
curative properties, an dit was used
to . cure the Countess Chinehon,; of
malaria. Botanists took the bark
Europe and namedit Chinchona,

Quinie is one of the very few specific
curatives: known to mecfi&ne.
A large part of the world would be
uninhabitable without it.

I think there is no question' that
the yougsters of today are hearing,'
better voices, speaking English mate
accurately, than children of iny gen

Whole, a-liberal education in how to

I have often wondered why women
