Liberty is not license, as has been pointed out ' manv times One nf the best definitions of liberty is e that each individual has the right to do as he pleases, so long as he does not interfere with other people's rights. When he oversteps that limitation, he is confusing his precious liberty with vicious license. The Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Sylva are cooperating in lifting Sylva's face and restoring her to her natural beauty. Do your part. Clean up the weeds, the trash, make Sylva look trim. All Jackson county should join in the movement, to make this the neatest county in the State, as it is already naturally the most beautiful. Hit Hitler with a kettle.

MISS MARTIN LEAVES . s The following editorial comment from the Even- c ing Herald at Rock Hill, will be of interest to Journal * readers, because it speaks the high regard in which r the York county newspaper holds Miss Margaret j Martin, Jackson county's new Home Agent: * "A great number of people in York county will ] regret to hear that Miss Margaret Martin will leave c her post as home demonstration agent for York county August 1st after a service to our farm women I of more than five years. * "Miss Martin has been most diligent in office dur- J ing the five-year period and the work of the home * demonstration department and the 4-H Club activi- \ ties have shown ma -:ed progress. Also has Miss Mar- 2 tin contributed to the county by the inauguration of * the rural youth clubs for older boys and girls. } "Active work in behalf of the less fortunate by the 1 mattress program and direction in better farm living as part of the defense program have been among * the many assets involved in the work of Miss Martin. c What will be York county's loss in Miss Martin's s leaving will be North Carolina's gain as Jackson c county in the Tar Heel state will be under her super- } vision in home demonstration work." * ~ t V-5 ? ~ ' C These symbols are appearing everywhere in the ,t German-occupied portions of the continent of Eu- s rope. V, the first letter in victory, is also the Roman f figure five. Hence, the numerous variations, the fig- i t ure five, the Morse code, for victory, the playing of j the Fifth Symphony, and so on, has spread through- i out the continent like wildfire. Hundreds of arrests i have been handed out. And, yet the V symbol appears g everywhere, on buildings, is tapped out in Morse on 1 the tables of cafes, is heard on radio receivers, appears t on windows, walls, sidewalks, barns, outbuildings, on \ the backs of German soldiers, on the German embas- <= sies in Rome, Instanbul, Madrid, and every conceiv- j able place from the fjords of Norway to the blue wa- ters of the Mediterranean. For V stands for victory t for Democracy and Christianity, over this new tyran- ] ny and new paganism. The V's are said to irk the ( Germans no end. It is the pledge of man to man and < woman to woman that the freedom-loving peoples ^ will rrvnt.irnip t.n .ct/rncrorlp until +V10 licrVit. nnr.p mnrp a """" J wipes away the darkness of this new night that has j settled like a miasmic mist upon Europe, the cradle < of our race. It also causes the Germans to tremble, \ for it is the living symbol of unconquerable man-. ( kind, a token of the great caldron of wrath that is , brewing. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the com- * ing of the Lord. He is trampling out the vintage ] where the grapes of wrath are storeji." i Little would one have drempt, a few years ago that htetory would so far repeat itself as to recur to ] the day# when Christianity was living underground j in the catacombs of Rome; when the symbol of the fish wa# the shibboleth by which the followers of the Light, Unit was brought into the world by the Nazarine and spread throughout the Empire by the fisher- ( men of Galilee, made themselves known to each * other, and defied the temporal power of Rome to for-' 1 M I. . . . : . I ' . . . .. THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, ;ver imprison the souls of men, or to keep light and iberty in hiding beneath the ground. There is a marked similarity between the then ind the now; between the V and the fish. Both quietly hurled their defiance to the tyrant and his cohorts, uid brought the rays of hope to the hearts of sorely ippressed men and women. There is one difference. The Christians of the catacombs were waging their campaign alone, ex:ept for the power of God, who always bides His time uid brings better days when the fullness of time ar ives. The V army in Europe has behind it the power )f the British Empire, the blessings of the United States of America, and the prayers of the Sons of Libirty everywhere. V stands for victory. And a British victory is the lope of the restoration of liberty to men and women, . >f a return to sanity, and the days when a human beng will be recognized as the most valuable of all :arth's riches. Liberty and Christianity are again joing through the fiery trials. The aim of the Hitler " A ' - * ! - P i-t . 'evolution is to wipe botn irom tne iace 01 me caim, md Hitler indicts himself of that charge in his own vords: "Two worlds are in conflict, two philosophies of ife. One of these worlds must break asunder. Can a iynamic revolution stop at a sharing of the world? Vlust not the struggle continue until the final world lominon of a single nation? My motto is, destroy by jvery means. So-called international law will not iheck me?one is either German or Christian. You :an't be both." There you have the truth, the meaning of all his titanic conflict, and from the lips of Hitler himielf. Germany has set about to blot out the Bible, )oth Old and New Testaments, to destroy by every neans known to man or devil, Judaism, Freemason-,, y, and Christianity, for the reason that the teachngs and philosophies of these stand in the way of lis hopes of enslaving the bodies and the souls of men, )f substituting Totalitarian frightfulness for Freelom, and of forcing all Germany to do the will of litler, and all the world to do the will of Germany. Winston Churchill has said that the mightiest veapon the Empire has is the spirit of the people, rhat is profound truth. It is impossible to overcome ipirit by physical force. For that reason, of all the liabolical weapons used by Hitler, the propaganda is ,he worst, for it is directed not against physical armanents, but against the spiritual bulwark of the free >eoples. By cunning lies, frequently repeated; by lalf-truths reiterated, the way was paved, between --- 1 J 1 ,mmrt L918 and 1939 for the present assauu Dy Lrermany up>n the free institutions of the world. How cunningly ;hat propaganda was devised, how potent it was, is )roved every day. It enervated France until she foldid up like a mushroom when the attack by force came. :t held the British people within its grasp, until the eal truth was so apparent that anyone could read, ind until it was almost too late 16 retrieve the threat:ned liberties of the peoples of the Empire. It was aught in the schools in America, preached from the )ulpits, hurled at our ears over the radio, published n our papers and magazines, and spoken from the )latform, until the voice of sanity and of the tradi;ional love of liberty in America was almostidrowned >ut. Its manifestations became a national disease, ind a national scandal. Youth movements, that recognized not the ancient landmarks of freedom as set lp by our fathers, swarmed over the land like a pestience. Pacifist groups were so powerful that the American Legion could not make its voice heard in ;he councils of the nation. The majority of Americans ictually believed that the Treaty of Versailles was in atrocity, although our country was not a signa;ory to it, and although a young German had been ;ent to a concentration camp for an indefinite time or expressing the opinion that its terms were not learly so harsh as those that would have been imrwmanv won the last war. Many Amer ;UOUU 11UU WVUiiMi"; cans, the majority, we believe, came to the concluson that American participatibn in the last war was i mistake, that our leaders were duped into enterng it, that those of us who waged it in mortal comjat were imbeciles and foots, and that our country vas actuated by the low motive of trying to save jomebody's money (whose, it was never said, except or the indefinite term "international bankers") in;tead of the high purpose of preserving the liberties ;hat had been so dearly won for us by our forebears. Ct is echoed by ape-like simplicity in the Congress tolay, by Bert Wheeler, Bob Reynolds, Charlie Taft, ind others. They have not yet recovered from the rirus. That is the kindest thing we can think to say 'or them, for surely they would not put their political fortunes above the welfare of the nation. It brought ibout, in twenty years or less a complete reversal of ;he thinking of a great nation regarding practically jvery principle upon which our country was founded | md for which it had ever contended. In other words t made us a different nation, for, "As a man thinketh n his heart, so is he." When the physical onslaught came, France fell* Britain had to again find her soul, and America had to regain her high principles. The V in Europe, the spirit of the British, and the reawakening of America are the answer to the jrerman horror. The spirit of freemen will again sweep the world clean of this unutterably filthy thing that Germany has set up for all the world to worship.
