C. K. CABF., the county manauiT, was asked to express biniself : '"J'lie bank has a presi-lent and a board of directors. The town is a biicr concern than a bank, and should have : a city manager who would be re sponsible for the administration of its x.affairs. The county, of course,; is biy- ger than the town and, in my opin ion, needs a manager even more than the town. "I am in favor of selling the power plant because power goes to waste at present which a business con cern could sell." . W. B. McGuirc: "I believe that the' power , plant should be sold. It ' is used largely for lights. Wc have what we want out of it, and should now let it go, if a profit can be realized on its sale. "I have not -yet fully decided on the plan of securing a city manager, but believe that the town is too small for the change." LEE LEACH: "Have you ever .known of a municipally owned con- f cern to succeed? Politics are too ' -much involved in the operation of such a concern. I would only favor (keeping-the power plant if the pow er could be sold." HORNER STOCKTON:. "A mun icipally owned concern of any kind is never .successful. 1 am highly in , favor of selling the plant." ALEX MOORE: "1 am in favor of selling the power plant for the reas on that a private concern could -sell more power." LOGAN ALLEN : "I am decidedly in favor of selling the power plant if the ' town can secure a reasonable profit through its sale. I do not think it would be best to charge an cxhorbitant price. Private owners -could start industries that the aldcr--anen would never think of getting. . "As to the city manager plan, my "idea would be to investigate other forms of town government, comparing tthe aldermen . and mayor plan with the city manager plan, and then W '.guided by the results." 1 DESCENDANT OF FRANCIS DADE HERE ON VISIT Great Interest: In Methodist Revival Jf St. Paul and all the redeemed were put into hell ,thcy would set up a prayer 'meeting and turn it into heaven, 'asserted Rev. U. F. Mock at the Methodist revival meeting last Sunday night. On the other hand, if the lost were placed in heaven they would 'turn it mto hell, the Methodist pastor stated. Pig congregations have been in at tendance, all week at the revival. AH other churches in town have tempo rarily discontinued their, night ser vices in order to co-operate with, the Methodist people. The preaching has all been done by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mock, who reports widespread interest in the meetings and a num ber of restorations and conversions. According to Rev. Mr. Mock, the services will probably continue throughout the present week unless they are closed Tuesday night. "Hell" was the subject on which he preached Sunday night. What is hell? Why is there a hell? Where is hell? Who are the occu pants? These were questions asked and answered by the Methodist pas tor. He quoted the scripture as to what hell is; stated that there is a hell because no law is made without a penalty, and that sin deserves such a penalty; asserted that he did not know where hell is, and that he hoped nevep- to find out who the occupants are. "I do not know where hell is, but it is a . place somewhere in time and space where all are without hope,, without faith in God, .where the oc cupants cannot pray or hear the songs of Zion. '-To-be banished from God is hell enough. Whereever it is, it is the sinner's home, and he must 'go there because there is no other place to go. "He must go there because he would , not be congenial in heaven, because hell is his just dessert, be cause it is his home by choice, and his destiny as a result of choice." "Enoch Walked With God" was the subject on which Rev. Mr. Mock preached Sunday morning. The min ister pointed out that under .the old dispensation, men were apparently in closer relationship with the Almighty than in present times. He showed that Abraham and Noah also were sparkle in ha- (ye, I might." she sail: "Well, Thrived On Trouble And it is this daring spirit which has Varried her through the fight I 1, I. , 1... . 1 ' 1 w I r in. u mil- iuim uau tu maKc lor Hie, her friends, say.

School Girl Writes Dear Tax Payer: Your article in The Franklin Press sure did make me feel, like answering it. I am one that took the state test. But 1 1 failed. It wasn't because I didn't have a good teacher or be cause my report card wasn't any good. It was because the test was not a fair test. Some passed that didn't get as good daily grades as others. I want some one that knows; per haps Mr. Billings can answer this one question for me. Whv is it that tlio teachers at the country schools ami public schools do not have the right to pass the seventh grade students that can pass to the eighth grade? Wow just why is that? I suppose a teacher that has taneht for twenty-seven years should be able to know where her seventh crraHe students could take high schol work or not. I would be verv dad if some nno would answer that question for me. A SCHOOL GIRL. Atwateii Kent RADIO- It costs you nothing to try an At water Kent Radio in your own home. Plug it into your lighting circuit and see how good it is. We want you to know by actual experience in your own home, the reason for its overwhelming popularity all over the United States why 200,000 families have bought it since January 1st.

They finally f-hung up a white flag m surrender, Ibut the Indians disregarded it. ""Nothing was left to do except to -march out and trust themselves to to the merciless Seminoles. With the xception of two who were wounded and left for dead, the entire . party -was massacred. These two are re sported to have literally ' crawled by might back to Fort Brooke, a distance vof about 65 miles. "The burying party, strangely enough, found that bodies of the vie tims untouched by Indians, vultures or wolves, although the bones of the , ,horses had been picked clean by -vultures. Decomposition had not set v "in; instead, the bodies of the fallen - :had literally dried." "The victims of the massacre have , " been reburied in St. Augustine, Mr. Dade reports, and three pyramids ' have been erected there in honor of "the fallen heroes. The bodies were originally buried at Fort Brooke. "Mayo Dade evidently has inherited -some of the rugged qualities of his ,, ancestor, Major Dade, for himself, r jhin addition to being traveler in the t tropics, is an experienced hunter and "fisherman. Bears, deer, and alligators ".have fallen before his rifle. He ex hibited a newspaper clipping from a Florida paper which gave an account sf ' his feat of landing a 400-pound turtle. It ' was like a small island, - Mr. Dade asserted, and had to be lassoed when broimht to the surface of the water in order to be landed. Mr. Dade had his first orange grove on the1 St. .'Johns rive1- ir ':'..' Florida. Since then lie has visited ' the West Indies, Jamaica, Fnnam'n, Costa Rica. California, and .points in South America in the interests of the fruit concern for which lie is General agent'.-' On these trips' he ' has written . many articles for Flor ida papers .describing the conditions and the people of these countries. ) He was in Panama at the time of the construction of the Panann canal. While there he Wrote articles de--srribinc in minute detail the plan and difficulties of construction. ' One note " in the article states that a man died for every cross tie that was placed in , the railway constructed across Panama at the time. The cross ties were placed fifteen inches apart. The orange is the fruit which Mr. Dade has made a specialty of buying. ' One ship load ' which he sent back 'to the United States was sufficient 'to fill 64 box cars. These were load i ed almost entirely by women, said i Mr. Dade. They carried the fruit in baskets on their heads. The men, he reported, are too indolent to do work of this nature themselves. Among the interesting souvenirs pasted in Mr. Dade's scrap book are cancelled checks, drawn in English pounds and shillings, which he has issued irf payment for fruit purchased In Latin American countries. Three i -of these translated to dollars and cents, are for amounts ranging from $10,000 to $2S.000. ; The Dade family is well known- in fronT nor free from fault," Rev. Mr. Mock declared. To walk with bod means to have faith in God. Walking with God means to think in the same chan nel, to have the same purposes, aims 2nd ideals as God. Rev. Mr. Mock showed that Enoch purposed to become like God. He obeyed and trusted the Aimignty m all things until he did become uoct- like, whereupon the Lord took Enoch unto himself. Dlys of Mexican War Are Recalled by Macon Woman As Birthday Is Celebrated (By Margaret R. Siler) With five generations p resent, and 88 candles on her cake, "Aunt" Betsy Jane Grant this week celebrated her eighty-eighth birthday anniversary, at the home of her niece, Mrs. Frank Murray, and amused the guests bv recalling the incidents of other days, "when Macon county reached from here to Tennessee." There, were more than 150 per sons present for the clebration from South Carolina, Georgia, and this state. And the old lady remarked next day that, after she went to bed that niaht, she counted, up about 200 more of her relatives who weren't present. Aunt Betsy Jane, as she is gen r erallv known, recalled the - drawing which three counties had at' Frank lin to sec which county should take ther set her up before him in the sadddle -as he rode into Franklin for the drawing, she related. Men from M aeon, Cherokee and Haywood met to draw, and Cherokee was "it," she said. i Other Incidents Recalled Asked why Jackson and Swain didn't take part in the drawing, she pointed - oul - that "there ,' wasn't no Swain and Jackson counties then, Macon reached from here to Ten nessee." Other incidents recalled by hen were adventures that had to do with Indians, the days when Wallhalla S. C, was the railroad market for this section, and the way women in this country worked during the Civil war. Mrs. Grant was the mother of two children when her . husband marched away. Riding on paved roads x in auto mobiles is "most like flying" she remarked, and somebody immediate ly wanted to know if she would fly if she should have the opportunity. "Aunt" Betsy Jane looked away and swung her foot for a moment, then turning a smiling face, with a Florida.

J- muLAi5 ALL TKJliCUfMJS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS In May, Durant Plants shipped 18,125 cars, exceeding April by 15.4 and the best previous record since 1923 by over 29. This is no chance occurrence it is a result of consistent gains begun last Fall, when the main plant at Elizabeth, New Jersey, broke all records for September, October and November. March, April and May have exceeded the best previous three months' total for all time at the Elizabeth Plant by 57. At the close of business of each of these months there have been more unfilled orders on hand than ever before in the company's history. Even with this record-break-ing May production the same condition holis true.
