Mr. Burrajre will likely make his head quarters in Asheville in the near fu ture, but at present he is traveling over the western part of the state on foreiit fire prevention work. He is a former resident of North Carolina, a graduate of the Univer sity of Georgia, served with the A. E. F.. and for several years was with the U- S. Forest Service in North Carolina and various other sections of the country. A good many of the counties are cooperating with the Survey in this work, among those in this section being Valcson, Haywood and Bun combe. When the counties cooperate they are adequately covered by forest w'ardens who bring to their neigh bors the importance of preventing forest fires and enforce all forest laws as Avell as to fight fires after they start. *. In addition to the wardens in these counties, the Survey has appointed a few wardens in other counties ad joining the National Forests in order to help the U. S. Forest Service and to show the people what it ig trying to do. If the counties do not co operate within a short time, the Sur vey, because of its limited appropria tion, will probably have to drop these wardens and use the money in coun ties which are cooperating. Wardens have recently been appointed in Crer- okeen. Clay. Graham, Swain, Macon, Madison, Mitchell, and Yancey coun ties. This region should be especially interested in forest prevention from the tourist standpoint. Forest fires destroy the forests which shelter game and fish and furnish the best kind of a playground for the vaca tionist. In Pennsylvania along the Allegheny River a short distance above Pittsburgh there is a stretch of high hills which were once cover ed with magnificent forests of white pine, hemlock, and hardwoods. The timber hag been cut and fires allowed to run unchecked until now there are i^iiles and miles of country cover- ‘ ©d only with blackberry briars and worthless shrubs. Of course there is little fish and game left. The people of Pittsburgh are forced to go ’to the hills in the eastern part of Pennsylvania or to the Adirondacks or White Mountains for their recrea tion. The U. S. Forest Service has just begim the purchase of land in this region for the creation of a Na tional Forest, but it will requre many years of protection from fire before this region will be attractive to tour ists. ^ 'Bather curious news from Vienna Is that Czechoslovakia will lend Austria half a billion of Czech crowns. How much these are worth we do not know, • but thejr can’t be as much depreciated • as Austrian crowns. The singular thinf about this transaction is that* ’ Czechoslovakia is one of the new na- ^ tlons carved from the dual monarchy; ' or perhaps it would be nearer the truth to s-.ij that it is one of the fragments into which the dual mon- •• archy broke when it fell. One would suppose Austria, a going concern, even If greatly reduced, would be in a bet ter position to lend to one of the new states than the reverse. But Austria seems to have been sinking deeper an;' ;?ei>er Into the slough, outdoing Gcrmi;ny In the issue of irredeemable pape^ mcney; and while the Austriaq consi^ g. 'eral in New York brings back flro;; his own country news of Improven: ' t, the economic situation is still very rious. “Scraps " . ells us that there are more (than 8,000.‘ K) women and girls wor'.:- ing In the I nited States. The wome"> rwho are not working are those on th farms who have nothing to do, excer to build fires, cook meals, clean house, •.wash the clothes, worli in the fields and probably attend to one small baby land six other larger (hildren. The original letter, said' to have apen written by Christ, was found u the early dayg of Christianity by I child. There is promise whomever aay have a copy of ths letter in hei.. possession will prosper and be followed by good fortune if they jubliah it, but if they do not heed he command, bad luck and mMor- une will follow them until it is made oub'ic. From the hands of a child who Lound it, the letter is said to have :>assed into possession of a convert of the faith. For some reason t.hig convert failed to have the letter pub lished. He- kept it however as a ^^^acred momento of Christ, and it pasied on to his oldest son, and on iown through many gerenations, but v?.s never published. The tradition being that when it was finally given publicity, it had Ijoen in one family more than a thou, ■and years. During all thig period of time, the rtory goes, the family suffered re- ^nated and contiuous misfortune. I'iscouragod members of the fam- ' / •' i'^ rated to countries other than where the letter was found, which v/as evidently Palestine, and finally one of them came to America, bring, i ig the fateful letter with him. The family having possession' of it set tled in Virginia, stll keeping the fact of the letter a secret. Descend ants of the family moved farther South, still followed by misfortune. Finally the last meniber of the family lay on her death bed called a neighbor woman named Thompson and gave the letter to her, relating its history. The Thompson woman’s attempts to have it published were rewarded in Rome, (Ga.,) Tribune October 31, 1891. From there it was printed in the Dalton (Ga.,) Citizen, and Miss Fannie Wortman, of Marion, Ind., clipped it from the paper, keeping it many years. Recently Miss Wort man had it republished in a Marion paper, stating that during that time she had retained the letter in her possession without having it publish ed or attemptng to, she had a species of bad luck which she attributes to the failure to secure publicity for the letter. It is my prayer that this be published. Here is the letter: “Whosoever work on the Sabbath day shall be cursed. I command you to go to church and keep the Lord’s Day without any manner of work. You shall not idle or mis-spend your time bedecking yourself in super fluities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered it a day of rest* I will have the day kept holy that your sins may be forgiven you. “You will not break my command ments, but observe and keep them, they being written by my hand and spoken from my mouth. “You will not only go to church yourself, but also your manservant and maidservant. Observe my words and learn my commandments. You shall finish your work every Satur day at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, at which hour the preparation for the Sabbath begins. I advise you 'io fast five Fridays in the year begin ning with Good Frday and confin ing the Fridays in the year being membrance of the five blood .vounds he received for you and mankind. “You shall love one another and cause them that have not been bap tised to come to church and receive the Holy Sacrament—that is to say. Baptism and then the Supper of the Lord and be made a member there of, and so doing I will give you iong life and many blessings. Your lands shall be replenished and bring forth abundance and I will comfox*t you in the greatest temptation, and surely he that doeth the contrary shall be cursed. “I v/ill also send hardness of hearlii! on them, and especially on hardened and unrepented unbelievers. He that hath given to the poor find it profit able. Sabbath day injunction: Remebber to keep holy the Sabbath day. For the seventh day I have taken as r ting day unto myself. “And he hat have a copy of this letter fron. my own mouth and keepeth it t- himself, shall not pros per, but he hat publisheth it to others shall I - blessed by me. and if their sing be a*, many as the stars at night, and if tl^ey truly believe they shall be pardoned, and they that be lieve not this writing and my com mandments will have my plague upon them and yoU will be consumed with your children, goods cattle and all other wordjy enjoyments that I have given you. Do but once think of what I have suffered for you; if you do, it will be well for you in this world and the world to come. “Whosoever shall have a copy of this letter in their house nothing shall hurt them, neither pestilence, light- :h\g, nor thunder, and if the woman be in birth anc' put her trust in Me, ~he shall be c ilivered of her child. You shall have no more news df Me, except through the Holy Scripture until the day of judgement. All oi-oodness and prosperity shall be in the house -v^here this letter be found.” NOTICE To the DEMOCRATIC VOTERS of , Transylvania 'county: As the primary for county candi dates which is to be held on Satur day, June 3, is not a legalized pri mary, and therefore the State has not furnished a sufficient number of ] absentee voter blanks to supply the demand, it has been decided by the County Executive Committee, that any Democratic voter who is prevent ed from coming out to his precinct poling place on said June S by sick ness or other unavoidable circum stance, may vote in said primary in the following manner, namely; Said voter shall write a letter to the Re gistrar giving in said letter the names of each candic^ate for each office whom he desires to vote for, the names of said candidate to be writ ten in the body of said letter, and if the voter can secure same, he shall attatch to said letter the printed bal lots for the candidate he desires to vote for. If the names in the letter differ from the names on the printed bal lots, then the names in the letter shall be construed to be the candi dates for whom the elector wishes to vote. Of course if the regular blanks as furnished for absentees are properly filled out, they shall be accepted. This is to give every Democrat in the county an opportunity to vote for the man he wishes to receive the nomination. Respectfully W. E. BREESE, Chairman MARTHA G. BOSWELL, Sec. Adv.-pd.
