Editor, Franklin Press,
Franklin, N. C.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your qucstionai re pub
lished in recent issues of The Press
1 will state that I am in favor of
candidates for all offices letting the
people know where, the. candidates
stand on county matters. Therefore,
taking your questions in order I give
the following answers: v
1. Yes.
2. If the law requires an auditor
the commissioners will have to employ
one. Perhaps a part-time auditor can
be employed.
3. I want more time to s-tudy this
matter before answering,
4. I want to sutdy this matter more
thoroughly before making a definite
answer.
5. In conthes where a school super
visor is employed statistics seem to
prove that the supervisor is well
worth the money spent. As yet I
do not know whether or not conditions
in Macon ; county would " require a
supervisor. Hence, this is a matter
to which I would have to give more
thought. j
(. To save every dollar possible,
to stop air the small leaks and large
ones loo if there be such. I have
mA figured put how much the taxes
can be lowered but a casual study of
the matter convinces me that the rate
cannot be lowered -to any considerable
extent. , , ... . ". '
7. In the event the county is mr.!e
the road unit 1 believe .that a road
supervisor would be necessary. The
county should have- modern road ma-

More About W. H. Parrish
West's Mill, N. C, Oct. 8, 1928.
Editor Franklin Press: f see in
The Press of the 4th a notice of the
death of W. K. Parrish as given by
Moran News, Moran Tex., I want
to add more of the history of Uncle
Bill.
His father, Henderson Parrish,
moved from Orange county to Macon
county some time in the 40's or early
30' s settling in the bend of the river
above the mouth of Cowee creek
where J. T. Raby now lives.
The family consisted of Mr. and
Mrs. Parrish. five sons, W. M., E.
W.. N. H.. T. H.. and G. W.. and
three daughters, Mrs. A. T. DcHart
Mrs. G. W. Dean and Mrs. S. T.
Rnmsev, also several slaves.
Uncle .Will married niy aunt, Ella
IJrysr-n. (there may have been Rebec
ca her name).
Uncle Hill joined the Cowee BatS
tist church in June, 1855. After he
married he lived in the Onvce sec
tion until he moved west. He visited
his relatives and friends he-e in 1913,
tpkiivr dinner oc dav. w'th " , G.
W. Parrish, of Etna, is the only one
of the familv now living. We, 'the

School News
Let Us Read More
,It has been said that magazines
are mirrors of contemporary thought
and that we may gain more real
enjoyment from reading them than by
cither novies or radios.
In the movie wc can visit! only one
place and see only one phase of' lire.
On the radio we may find music,
speeches and sometimes drama, but
these may. not be, the things we" are
interested in at that time. In our
magazines we may choose what we
wish to read about and soon forget
all about our surroundings, and may
1 hcrnmc thp main actors in some
j thrilling story or view scenes in some
' distant land. .
Mnst Ampriran neonle are ambitious
and anxious to improve their minds.
In the magazines three-fourths of the
best brains of America arc engaged in
literary and editorial work. Current
questions are discussed and most short
stories and novels are printed there
before being published as books.
Aside from the literary magazines
we find others on almost every pro
fession, Agricultural magazines, which
have proved such a help to farmers,
are a good example of these.
Our school is putting many of the
leading magazines in the library and
the students should avail themselves
of this opportunity for reading.
Money invested in a good magazine
is well spent. M. M.
Football
Our boys have made a splendid
beginning toward their 1928 football

Franklin plays her next game Fri
day, October 12, 1928 at Hayesvillc
and Coach Kesler has asked that all
cars going, that have room for some
one else, see him. The boys will need
our support, so everyone who can,
go and help keep up the fighting
spirit. H. L. T. '29.

The Executive Committee of the
Republican party in session, directed
that our candidates for Macon county
offices make a canvass of the county
at each voting precinct and invite
the Democrat nominees to meet them
and tell the people ' what they stand
for.
It is in abedience to this order that
Mr. R. D. Sisk, as the' party nom
inee for representative, will make the
canvass as advertised.
Respectfully,
, JOHN E. RICKMAN,
Chairman Rep. Ex. Com.
Franklin, N. C, Oct. 9, 1928.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
It is true that just after I was
nominated Mr. J. A. Porter and my
self agreed not to make a ' joint
campaign. It is also true that the
next day I was notified that the
Republican Executive Committee had
met and demanded a joint discussion.
In a few days I was notified by the
Chairmans of both parties that, they
had agreed on a joint campaign for
all candidates. I then went to Mr.
Porter and told him that I should
comply with the wishes of the Ex
ecutive Committee and ask him to
join me. This he said he would not
V
do.
1 respond to the request of the
Committee because if elected I ex
pect to represent the people and not
myself.
Respectfully,
