THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
LAW ENFORCEMENT,
The strict enforcement of the Fed
eral fire laws is something which is
coming very much to the front in the
administration of the Nantahala
'National Forest, which includes parts
of North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia. Heavy losses from fire
during the past few years, in spite of
the active educational campagn
icrninst woods Tmrninir. has made
this course necessary.
Last week a number of fires were
started on Government land in Geor
sia and South Carolina by parties
traveling along a public'road. A few
days, later the parties were arrested
on a warrant secured by the loca
Forest Officers, and were taken be
fore United States Commissioner
R Ellard at Cornelia. Two of the
men were bound over to the April
term of the Federal Grand Jury at
Athens, while the other two are held
as witnesses.
For the willful setting on fire of
National Forest timber, undergrowth
etc., the Federal Statutes provide a
maximum penalty of five thousand
dollars, or imprisonment for not more
than two years, or both. For fires
started through carelessness the
maximum penalty is a fine of one
thousand dollars,, or imprisonment
for not more than one year, or both
Your 1924 Success.
We accomplish things by laying
bold and doing them, sticking to the
job everlastingly. Lolling around and
dreaming of a better day will not
bring it. We must work for it. Sue
cess and riches seldom come without
effort. The farmer has to tret down
.....1 A , J.,,. 4 a mr IJ.O ...--, A ,
hisscapital. He will not grow wealthy
by standing around and wasting his
time.
, The success of the average Western
Carolina farmer for 1924 dcoends on
what he plans within the next few
days. Soon crop time will be on us
and it will be too late to plan.
Are you going to content yourself
with the same old way of doing
things? Haven't you gained anything
.from reading, experience or observa
tion that you will convert into capital
this year? Why not apply the know
ledge you have gained?
Start with the boy and girl. Give
v"them a chance. Encourage them to
participate in the club work. Give
the boy a pig or baby beef for the
lively contest that will , be on. this
year. Give the girl, some eggs or
chicks and start her on the road to
'independence.
Having started the bby or girl right,
plant tomatoes, potatoes or straw
berries and grow them under contract.
Lift yourself out Of the old rut. Take
,a chance at doing something new this
year. Your county agent is ready and
t ever willing to assist you. Call on
; him for information when you need
it. Create some additional wealth for
yourself this year. Produce soime
- thing and co-operate JcloselV with the
Farmers federation and see u you
can't reach the end of 1924 with some
additional money to your credit.
Plan a big year and get at it im
mediately, or you will be too late for
,1924 success. Make your plans now.
POULTRY SALE
It has beer decided to hold the first
' co-operative car load poultry sale for
the season on Wednesday, April 9th.
There may .be some farmers who
would rather have the sale at an ear
lier date. But we want to be sure of
enough to make a car load. Where
possible it would be a good, idea to
put up the thin chickens to be sold
and feed on milk and other fattening
feeds for at least a week before the
. sale. This . should add ' weight and
quality. Those who are planning to
- bring poultry to the sale will greatly
help by writing County Aeent Ar
rendale a card telling him what you
. expect to bring. If you are too care
less to co-operate please do not howl
and growl when you are .disappointed
in me way inings nave gone.
In Memory of Ed Lpwe.
The people of our community wore
deeply grieved to hear of the death
of Ed Lowe, which occurred March
it
26, 1924, at , about eleven ociock
Wednesday morning. He took sick
about eight days before he was called
to meet his God. .
It w.as very sad to hear of his death
and he is' greatly missed by all who
knew hum,. He joined' the,. oyee
church twenty years ago and i has
been a faithM .'.member ever 'since.
Ed -has been a great worker iiuthe
B. Y. P. U. and has tried to lead the
young in the way that they should go.
He has been a faithful B. Y. P. U.
president, at Iotla ' ani Cowee
churches. It is very sad indeed $o
part with a dear friend like he was.
Although it seems as if we can't do
without. him; but by the help of God
we are going to keep our B. Y. t. u.
still going; and if each member will
do their part' we can depend on God
for His- part. We feel as if there is
no one that could fill his place, but
as unworthy as we are, I think that
each one should be willing to try to
do what they are called upon to do
and not be ashamed to do anything
that God tells us to do.
Ed leaves a father, two brothers,
four sisters and a host of friends and
relatives' to mourn his death. There
is in the midst of our sorrow a great
hone to look forward to, that we'll
see him again with the rest of . our
loved ones in heaven if we live a life
for the Lord. Ed always had a smile
on his face and words, of cheer on
his lips.' Even in the darkest hours
he could plant words of cheer in.our
hearts which would make us happy.
1 feel as if God's crown, is covered
with golden stars. So let us all .strive
to meet him some day. .. .
May God bless us B. Y. P. U. mem
ber' and show us what to do. Ed has
planted seeds in our hearts and I
.hope, they 11 keep growing ana some
of us will be great ' workers like -he
was. FANNIE GIBSON. .
Announcement.
To the Voters of Macon County:
After careful consideration from a
personal standpoint, I have decided
to withdraw from the race for the
office of Register of Deeds. Fot the
past ten years I have held the office
of Register and have discharged the
duties that devolved upon me to the
best of my ability. For the others,
who may aspire to the plate I am re
linquishing I have nothing' but tne
kindest feelings. .
I trust that my withdrawing from
the cfontest Way not be misinter
preted. I am doing so purely from
personal reasons. I have every as
surance that my friends would have
rallied to my support in this election
as thev have , in the past. Such
friendship as this makes one proud
of his country , and the people who
constitute its citizenship.
Thanking all who have aided me in
the past, and assuring all of my most
lively interest in anything that may
make for the upbuilding of our coun
ty, I am, Respectfully,
ELMER JOHNSON.
