Phone 663 Heard And Seen ON MACON BYWAYS By ROLFE NEILL Mark Twain said it: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. "Hiis is the principal I difference between a dog and a man." ? THE STAYING power of qual ity ink combined with quality paper amazes me. Folks bring in documents 50, 60, or 75 years old and the writing or printing on them still is bold and easy to read. H. A. (Chub) Wilhide brought an 1880 vote tally sheet to The Press office which his wife found among some other papers. Family names on that paper still are prominent about the county . . . George A.

IN THE courthouse vault. Reg- , ister of Deeds Lake Shope has books which go back to the 1830's. proving the point ? which none of us seriously doubted ? that mort gages are hard to get rid of. ? FARM TENANCY drags on an . area's economic and political pro- ; gress wherever it flourishes. Part < of the independent spirit of Ma- j con County people, I think, is at- ] trlbutable to the fact that they ] own what they live on. A man is more likely to take Interest, more likely to speak his mind ? and less likely to be the tool of others ? when he owns his land. This county has one of the five lowest tenancy rates in the state, with a figure of only 6.2. ] Contrast that with 68.5 in Nash , County, or 75.2 In Wilson, or 79.1 i (the highest in North Carolina) , in Edgecombe. i The free farmer, spine of ] America. ? SIGN IN a tavern: "By special arrangement with the First Na tional Bank, we do not cash checks and they do not sell beer." ? IT WAS dusk at 6:30 when I came through Sylva this week. Got the time of day from their court house clock. When I got to Frank lin, our courthouse clock said 3:20. Would the county commissioners please give the repairmen, who have a contract with the county, a gentle nudge toward the clock tower. ? ON TURTLE POND Road last week I saw neither turtle nor pond. Was/is there either?
