The people oPNanfahafa" township has just completed arrangements with the poultry co-operation of our sister county, Swain, to handle all our chick ens and. eggs. Sorry we can t patron izc our own county industries but its impossible on account of roads. We folks would probably grow some vege tables for the cannery at Franklin, abut whats the use of doing so when ' its an evident fact we couldn't deliver them just on account of no roads that we can travel. I must say that a majority of the citizens are sore, and very sore, on account of roads leading from this place to our county seat, and it will take more than an application of talcum powders to relieve the irrata tion. The infection has gone on so long that it has become chronic. Mr. Clifton 'Cross . was on Main street this week in his "Henry Ford." Messrs. Dan Boom, and Pat May returned home from Clay county where1 they have been on a logging 10b. ! Misses Monna and Ora ' Dewcsse were seen on the square recently. ; Franklin, N. C. Dear- Editor: Will vou please give us space in your valuable paper for a few words that we have on mind that will , come in connection with the scriptural pieces that were quoted in the last issue of The F,ress. We , think that scripture that was quoted by one of the writers is one of the greatest sayings that could be said. First cast the beam out of your own eye then we can see clear ly to cast the mote out ot our Dro 'ther's eye, and if we have cleared ourselves we have a perfect right to helr clear-up our own community . and others. After having the beam cleared from our own eye we can see the mote clearly in our brother's eye. . vvc linu in i tailing iny wi"u'v that the majority of the people are al ways trying to explain the scripture or teach some one the law ot living, when they don't understand it them selves. You will find iii first Timothy 1-7: 10 Desiring to be teachers of the law and understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm but we know that the ' law is good if a man use it lawfully knowing this that the law is not made1 for a righetcous man but for the lawless and disobedient for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murders of father and murders of mothers, for manslayers. We find in reading the columns of . The Press that the tongue is an ay ' ful member 'of the body; we find in searching the scripture that it de pends'" ori how we use "our- tongue.- Prov. 10-20:21 The tongue of the just is as choice silver, the heart of the wicked is little worth, the lips of the righetous freed many but fools die for want of wisdom. Prov. 20-21 :18 A man's belly shall he satisfied with the fruits of his mouth and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall cat the. fruits thereof. We have1' found a big word with only four letters. Now let us spell it: L-O-V-E. If we had more of it in our" communities there would be better times. St. Mark 12:30-31. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment, and the second is like this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Yours with the four letters, U. M. and jf. H. SANDERS. More From Sam Gastonia. ; N. . C., March 16. Editor Franklin Press: Dear Sir: I thank you very much for the proposed space in your paper to give vent to our feeling and ex plode once in a while, and now. to begin with, I just feel like apologizing to Mr. Kickman, tor 1 thought he was speaking of Franklin township, and I don't think he mentioned Cowee township. However, I think the list ing of the taxes costs the county more than it should, and I did not say that a man ought to have only $60. 82 for the job; but, thatt the $243. 30 divided equally between the 4 would be $60.82 each. What I was striking at, was the number on the job. And I also said that I thought that the job could be done for $100 or a little over. Now Mr. Rickman says the correct figures for listing the taxes in Cowee township is $256.80. So if this is corrects whydid he say that it was $243.30 in his. first state ment. Just a little error, I presume. Well, anyway, I would be glad to have the job of listing' the taxfcs for tfie whole county at $128.40 for each township, and that is only half what the listing cost for Cowee township. I sincerely hope Mr. Rickman don't feel hurt at me for I am satisfied he is a good citizen and will stand by the truth ; and I certainly appreciate that spirit in anyone. . So I must pass on to Mr. E. W. Howell, who claims to be a friend of mine, but I must say I don't know ' who Mr. E. W. Howell is bv the initials. But since he has sailed up so high and made a dive at me and lit right square down on me (like the house fly) all. sprad dled out, I guess I will have to shoo him off a little.- So T- am going -to lsyl??""', . I Mr,- Winford Howell, should have been" more carcfuPaboiit what he said. First : I am sorry to hear that our neighborhood is a chronic kicking community, and as for me taking a shot at most everybody, I am unable to understand what he means unless he just wanted to take a shot at me, for I have no ill will toward any of my neighbors, Mr. Hcwell included. I was only kicking a little at our county commissioners ' for our road conditions for we . know they have the right to lay off a road regardless of who kicks. And if said kicker wants to ' charge two prices for a right-ot-way over his land, the com missioners have authority to have damage charges settled without Mr. Kicker making any charge.' You did n't know that did you, Mr. E. W.? Well, as to our county commis sioners and all road authorities getting disheartened and not being able . to make a road through a community on account of a little kicking, you know that gets by me. I didn't know till now why they built the road around below our community instead of going through it. Now Mr. E. W., that high sound inn snccl vou spun off about us want ing the road to go around by . all the' houses, and by the heads of all the branches sounds rather small to me, for I know my neighborhood is not that selfish. We would have been glad to have split the difference, but we didn t have the chance, so 1 am just like I was last week, still feeling that it is a one-sided piece of business, and I believe I can prove to any unselfish person that I am right about this matter, for there . is not a single home on the west side-of this new road from Mr. Howell's to Prcntissj a distanoe cf about ! 3-4 miles, whereas in the same distance there i s24 homes occupied, and 6 or 8 houses. - Now, if that isn't one-sided business I must confess I don't know what the term -one-sided means. Of course if a party traveHing south dn said new road should come to the Keener gap and wanted "to "go only to, Prentiss- this new rote is O. K. But let's suppose he wants to go on up the riyer 3 or 4 miles. Which way is nearest? Why as straight from the Keener gap, to the Bristle ridge gap , and) on through Smith's Bridge township. But of course, we will not get a road through our community on the route mention ed until some road board can see further than from the Keener gap to Prentiss, . and will let ' some . engineer survey it out , for the good of. all and not for the selfish gratification of, perhaps 4 to 6 men. ' This is the way we see it at pres ent. 'Now, Mr. E. W. Howell in speakini: of the men . in my neighborhood try ing to meet the j road.- board, states that this meeting was long after said road had been surveyed and work started. I think he is mistaken about the work being started, and if he is the gentleman I hayc always regarded him to be, he will apologize for mak ing this statement, and if I find out that I am mistaken, I will likewise apologize to him through The Press for what I am now saving about him. I hope some one who was at said meeting will aid Mr. Howell and my self on this part of the subject. Second : The money end of the whole thing: Mr. Howell would have the public believe that we were try ingn to get the road changed up to the foot of the mountains, and there by tr.king it away from the heaviest tax payers. I wish he had not said that last part. I don't have any idea that Mr. Howell's land is rated any higher than my land, and my near neighbor's land. Our land reaches clear down to Mr. Howell's line and my acre is worth just as much to the county as Mr. Howell's acre. But it appears that some folks can't see things as I do no-how. Now Mr. Howell, I am ashamed of a whole lot that you placed before the public and I am, also, ashamed of what I have had to say in defense of myself and friends, you included. And now if you want to continue an argument, I am your buddie and friend. But let's come with the straight goods, and not go around by all the houses, and heads of branches and pay taxes that we don't pay, and start working on roads before we begin, and start shooting before we are shot at. - With best wishes to The Press and its readers. , Respectfully, SAM ANGEL. Cleveland, Ohio, 3117-East, 97 St. March 15, 1928. Dear Mr. Harris: Find enclosed check for one dollar and fifty cents (1.50) for which re new our, subscription for another year. I read a large part of the paper since being away from home, and know-such a -number of- people -of Macon county. I feel that I can not be without our home paper. Since being here I have often thought of Harry Barnard's letter in your paper several weeks past. There were important statements made which we should give attention to as Bar nard said. , Yours very truly, , MRS. W. R. PENLANI). Franklin, N. C, March 6, 1928.
