To Training Camps
ir.
When the first contingent of b<
selectees went to camp for one ^
year's training, last November, .
The Journal adopted the policy ir
of sending its paper to every
man from Jackson county who
i. ; ii? ?? * * - --
is in uie armea services 01 tne ;
country, free of charge, for the ir
duration of the emergency.
We accepted this as a part of b<
our contribution t0 the welfare,' a(
morale and well-being of the P
county's men in the defense
forces. The list has grown week ^
by week; until it has reached C1
sizable proportions, and is ^
steadily increasing. The Journal T
is and has been going to every ^
man from this county, whose ai
address we have been able to
obtain. al
The publishers of the The ai
Journal are proud of our county
paper, and we believe that the
men will be and are proud to
have a county paper of the c(
character of the Journal, to read
and t0 show to the men from (
other counties and other parts ^
of the United States. It has long
been known by newspaper and
advertising experts that a community
or a county is judged A
more by the character of its rc
newspaper than by any other i ci
one agency. ^
On the other hand, The le
Journal is proud of the men si
from this county who are in the i a
defense forces. We are proud of ti
the record of North Carolina of tl
having more men in the armed fi
forces than any State in the f(
Union, regardless of population; fi
and we want our men to have tl

[ ADVANCE IN THE COUNTY
ten Ordered
it Of Sylva
hree Years
The Journal hazards no guess
as to whether the order of Judge
Johnston that Anne Tramper,
Indian woman, remain out of
Sylva for three years, and not
take a drink in that time, would
come under the Constitutional
prohibition against cruel and
unusual punishment. We know
of people to whom either provision
would be cruel. But, that
was what the Judge told Anne,
in superior court last week when
she was found guilty of an assault.
He sentenced her to 12
months in jail, and suspended
the sentence upon provision
that she refrain from intoxicating
liquors, and stay out of
the town of Sylva for three
years.
A number of caih bonds were
ordered forfeited, and the school
fund of the county profited considerably
thereby. Helen Eastridge
had up a cash bond of $75
for driving drunk. She failed to.
appear, and the bond was forfeited.
?arl Tritt was called and
failed on a prohibition law
charge, and his $100 went the
same way. Janet dinger was
charged with drunk driving.
She had up $100, and the court
got.it for the schools. H. P. Talbot
was > charged with drunk
driving. His bond of $101 went to
the schools. Howard Jones' $100
in cash was taken to the school
fund, when he failed to appear
to answer to a drunk driving
charge. Ray M. Cope had up
$100 in cash for his appearance
to answer to the drunk driving
charge, and the schools got that
when he did not put in an appearance.
.. 7?,,
Garland Green drew $50 and
costs for carrying a concealed
weapon. Sherman Hunter* prohibition
violation, $50 and costs.
Roy Settlemyer and Dollie
Raby, F. and A., jury brought
in a verdict of not guilty. Roy
Settlemyer, assault with a
deadly weapon, 18 months, suspended
for three years.
Lillian Tramper, assault three
years probation, under Mrs.
Charles Hutchins, probation officer
for women.
Sam George, assault, three
years probation.
Major Sutton, forgery, two
years probation.
Ruth Bryson and Sadie Hooper,
assault and blocking the
road, sentenced to serve two
years at the Industrial Farm
Colony at Kinston.
Grady Beck, operating a motor

Glenn Wilson, assault and
