' Being a native op--Macon county and Franklin, Mr. Jones , comes to the Press with a full de termination ' to become an ; integral part of the community and to devote " his great talents to 'the upbuilding of Macon county. , The Press takes this opportunity to ''thank again the advertisers and sub- . sctiucis who nave a..vjr.v , ""i- ' ported the, Press under the present " management. A newspaper that is '' not supported by'the county in which k is oublished cannot hope to render the best service. The, Press win con tinue to advocate measures which it " tonsiders are for the best interests of the county. We thoroughly be lieve in the possibilities of a glorious luiure or ine tuumj. rftrl ritienshio. undoubtedly the best in the State, nothing is impossible. The, Press hopes to play no small part in presenting the advantages of thU countv to the citizens of other ' rotmties and other states. With the able assistance of Mr. Jones .the subscribers of the Press may expect to receive a much' better paper in the future than it, has been possible to publish in the past. - A Task For Civilians ' ' In an editorial under the aboyc caption the Asheville Times in its v issue of August 3rd believes that the Philippine islands should have . a civilian governor. The Times has no fault to find with the administration of General Wood, but states that the islands are not conquered territory and that therefore ' a civilian should be appointed as governor-general to avoid any display of force in rul ing the islands. That -may be true. At any rate we , do not ' take issue with the Times as to the character or profession of the man to govern . . !.f I- - T..a ...Iiam TtmvK states that the Philippines are not conquered territory it is making a rretty broad ' statement. Those who were present on outpost duty around Winila on the night of February 5th, 1899, when the hordes of Agui,naldo opened fire on the American army will disagree wMi the Times. Those who marched through the tropical jungles for almost three years -. and f out t a treacherous eney to a stand- DUE FOR A BUMP " f I CAN'T STAND THAt V FELLOW DOWN THERE rS ( I CONSIDER MVSELF J . A80VEHIM 1 " The man who considers himself too big or too important to take an in terest in local affairs is seldom missed. He may imagine he is traveling along above the rest of his townsmen, but no one envies him or seeks the perch upon which he rests. ' v ". . , ; ' It is poor policy to run contrary to the community spirit of the home town. This is something for our mutual protection and benefit, so all effort should be devoted to building it up, not tearing it down or ignoring it. By setting himself up as better and above the ,town, the knocker imperils his own fortune and opportunities. So long as he lives here, he must go along with Franklin, and if he does not come down a bit and be sensible, he is apt to regret it. t . ' Besides, the booster is ready to testify that one can enjoy life immensely by holding, the right attitude toward the community in which he lives. still in jungle warfare will disagree with the Times. If the statement of the Times is" correct,' General Funston, if alive, would probably ponder over the. why and wherefore of the weeks he and his redoubtable comrades spent in the jungles, of Luzon on the expedition which captured Aguinaldo Certainly the fifteen surviving mem bers of C. Company, 9th U. S. Infan try, who with baseball bats and sticks of stove wood fought off hundreds of savages at Balangiga on the. island oi samar win wonaer wny 03 oi tneir comrades were killed by a supposedly friendly people. Those fifteen out 6f a total of eighty escaped to the boats. On reaching the middle of the broad rivet; on which the camp was located they looked back and saw the Stars and Stripes flying at the top of the flag pole. ' Without, hesitation they returned for the flag. If the Philippine islands are not conquered territory, more than 100, 000 Americans Who took part in the subjugatign of that territory would like to knoW what it was all about. Now we hear much about giving the islands independence. Philippine politicians, men whose chief aim in fife is to get their hands on the purse strings, howl for independence. Mis guided and ignorant Americans take up the cry. Be it understood now that the great mass of the Philippines do not want Uncle Sam to leave the islands. They have more liberty and prosperity now than they ever dared dream of 28 years ago. - Governor General Wood has prevented raids on the treasury, therefore he. is to be kicked put if the Philippino politi cians can accomplish their , object. So far as the army is concerned the Philippinos may have their indepen dence. Service in the tropics is not so desirable as. service, in the home land. But when we give the islands their independence let's do so with no strings attached. No protectorate must be provided. V Five years from the time independence is granted the youth of America must not be called upon to protect the, Philippinos from another nation or to supress internal disorders. . ' ;" " Look at Belgium France is making a holy snow of herself by mistreating American tour ists because she is angered to think America will not cancel millions of dollars in war debts. Russia has com pletey repudiated her obigations. But little1 old- Belgium, scapegoat of ' the World War, is as true as steel. She was hardest hit of all the nations and had. to borrow $47,000,000 from the United States. She has been told she can pay it over a period of 62 years, and she has started to raise ' the money -without a whimper, by leas ing her - railroads td private corpor ations. Little Belgium is setting the world a good example. But France is a good deal like some pcople we know around Frankin. They ay . your friend until you call their attention to a little obligation, a ittle bill that has long gone unpaid and then they get mad at you. Going Fishing Along about this season of the year the average Franklin man begins to feel the effects of the warmer tem perature. He rolls out of bed minus a good deal of the "pep" he feels when he gets up from a good night's rest in the Wl and winter months, and by the time the sun climbs to the center of the sky and sheds its warm fays straight down he feels the temptation to yawrt, and lessen his, speed in walking and working he sort of wishes he had a good ex cuse to go fishing. Man, you don't need any excuse just pick up and go. The fact that you are some day going to be where you won't be able, to' fish is excuse pnniio-h for doinff a little of it now. ; President Coolidge once said he ' couldn't see anything to it, and yet since he caught a fish a few weeks , ago they can't get him up as early in the morning as he would like to get . up just to go fishing. It isn't the ; fish a fellow catches that does bim the most good, it is the fact that he is while he is fishing, at peace with the world and himself, fishing brings a fullness of heart and a .quiet, peaceful joy of living that no Other outdoor sport can produce. It is restful, and that is what the average man needs for both body and mind along about this time of, the year. Don't wait for an excuse-to turn up take a day off and go 'fishing now., You'll be worth twice as much to vaurself and vour community to morrow. You may not catch any fish but that doesn't make any ditter ence. YouH get rest, and rest -is often far better than medicine. Co-Operation Equals Success Perhaos the most imoortant oart of the work of the Chamber of Com merce to date is that not visible on the surface to the casual observer. The Chamber, however, has done an important job, r one that strikes the eye the . moment it surveys Main street. ' .- In requesting and securing the pas sage of the- new parking ordinance, the Chamber of Commerce has done a thing worth while. The new system gives the street a well-kept appear ance; it simplifies the parking prob lem; it provides parking spaces for visitors a type of courtesy that is not only in good taste but is worth while from a strictly commercial standpoint, The system is on trial, chamber of commerce officials emphasize.- It may or may not prove successful. Its success, they say, will depend largely upon the co-operation given by the public; ' . . . , y v.-v,::'.; The chamber has shown itself on the' job in making this suggestion to the board of aldermen ; that body has shown the ''proper spirit of co-operation, and those connected with the chamber of commerce have expressed a sense of appreciation for the co operation given by the general public. This is the sort of : co-operation, which, if continued, will make the chamber of commerce a success snellpd in panitals with resulting in estimable benefit to the town and county. Episcopal Bazaar to be Hejd Tuesday, Aug. 1 7 TJie ladies of the St. Agnes Guild will hold their annual bazaar Tuesday August 17th at the rectory. These bazaars have become -more and more successful each year .and the, ladies ace. preparing for the best one of all this year. Come and bring your friends. Bazaar will open at ten o'clock and run until everything has been sold or given away, Chamber of Commerce And a Visitor By C. T. KETCH AM Thin ttiorninor as I ' was readv to write a weekly "word" and under a caption quite different than the one now chosen, a visitor came into the Chambcf office, and it is about him that I now write, , This visitor came with a kindly smilp a Htte hesitanev of expression, wearing his working clothes, but with all, to me, has lett alter his going such a spark of encouragement that it seems worth while passing along to you. , , ' He carried in his hand a letter that told what the Chamber of Commerce program is. He said that he naa studied over it quite a spen. ne was employed in: such a manner that it urmiM S vprv difficult for htm to work just when he might be asked. But he didn't reckon that an tnc work would be done right soon' be cause it would take time to do any big job. - Then he told me that some day he might get out on a little farm anH hp would have some time to work. . He told me -"that right now we could depend upon him to ao nis best on any job we asked of him be onco Via .uinntpd In see all of It done. He asked me for a pen. He wrote a check payable to the Cham ber of Commerce. I found out that he had not been asked to subscribe anything 'because the committee soliciting funds be lieved him unable to afford it. I dis covered that the place where he works is in appearance a credit to TTranVtin T discovered that' this visitor buys only when he pays. Somehow it makes me proud to nave shaken this mild, kindly spirited iwtin man hv th hand. And after he had gone to his work I felt myself charged with the responsibility oi doing the very best possible; that this visitor shall not.be disappointed. Perhaps, although his life has been spent in. this community, the identity nf thi man is not known to haf of you who read. Yet, to me, his spirit is tne greatest i nave mci -ia.-lin, and his five dollars are the largest AnUre in hp fhamher of Commerce fund. And I sort of muse and won der to myself; "Can it be possible that Franklin harbors an hundred spirits kindred to his?" ; Notice of Sale ' North Carolina, Macoii County : Under authority vested in tbe un dersigned Commissioner, by virtue of a Decree entered by the Clerk Su perior Court n the 3 August, 1926, in a proceeding entitled C.
