The supreme court of North Caro
lina is known as a bench of hard
workers. They have to live laborious
days in order to give each case the
consideration merited by an action
on appeal, and to set forth their
opinions with all the precision neces
sary in 'a final pronouncement by a
court of review.
These justices should have more to
study the appeals coming before them,
unhurried by the though that an
enormous task of physical and men-,
tal exertion awaits them in prepar
ing the written decisions. Asheville

THE HORRIBLE DESTINY OF
SISTER AND FRIEND
Dear friends I am no poet, and I
don't know where to begin;
But 1 want to tell the horrible story
of my sifter and friend.
And won't you please take warning,
before it is too late;
For just one drink of whiskey brought
them to' their sad fate.
Just as natural loveliness is pleasing to your eyes, the natural mildness
of Camel Cigarettes is pleasing to your taste.
Qamel is an amazingly mild smoke. Yet it is never flat never taste
less. All the mellow aroma of the choice tobaccos in the Camel blend is
preserved and enhanced through every step of manufacture. There's no
over-processing with its resultant insipidity no doctoring, for none is
needed.
Modern smokers have recognized the difference between mildness
and flatness. They're swinging to Camels choosing a cigarette that's
mild enjoying the real luxury
AM EL
Upoji Sunday evening, the thirteenth
of July, Garry called for sister
and I, to say to us goodbye.
He said that he was leaving to be
with mother soon that he would
leave for Roanoke at two that
afternoon.
At ten o'clock he called us and said
he had one more hour to stay,
Then he would be leaving on his
homeward way.
He hated so to leave us, but he said
he would not stay;
But he made to us a promise that we
would meet again some day.
We decided then to take a ride to
pass the time away. '
We drove up the highway two miles
or more from town, when Garry

decided to drink some whiskey
down.
He only drank one drink, and listen
what he did.
He drove the car like furry around
those winding turns.
He drove the car so reckless, I was
afraid to stay.
So I got out and left them on 285
highway.
Of course I did not think when 1
left them that day;
Before the evening sunset God would
take th cm away.
They had started homeward, and
eleven miles from town,
They hit an embankment
Which lay them, lifeless, down.

GREETliIGS
In assuming editorial charge of The
Press, I do so with mingled feeling
of gladness, gratitude and humility.
My life has been what is termed a
public life. Since I was eleven years
old I have been fighting at arm's
length for a place on which to stand.
In the realm of letters I have
gained a foot hold. In the pulpit I
have stood more or less secure for
a good while. On the platform I
have fared as well as many of my
more brilliant brothers.
But 1 am unaccustomed to the chair
of the editor. In fact sitting down,
reverses my machinery. I can al
ways thinkr better when standing and
faster when running; but the, dye is
cast and I am to be an editor.
There is a sort of sentiment stir
ring within me as I remember that
I am to be editor of my own county
paper, and speak to the sons and
daughters of the fathers, and mothers
with whom I spent the halcyon days
of my youth and young manhood.
My messages will always be PER
SONAL. The planet Mars may be in
habited for all I know, but if so, they
may arrange with one of their own
bunclv for the news. I am writing
particularly for the people of Macon
county, and then for the whole of
Western North Carolina.
The price of the paper has, been
reduced so that the humblest citizen
may put it into the , hands of his
children ;" and each week it will bear
to them a message found nowhere
else under heaven.
The Press will always contain the .
most choice bits of news ; but it will ..
also bear a real message to the people
of these winsome mountains.
No rooster was ever prouder of his
first spurs than ye editor is of being
a mountaineer. We might have been
born in New York but we didn't want
tp be.
Drop in and see us. Our business
manager, W. F. Curtis, is a courteous
gentleman and will pilot you to the
editor's sanctum. 1 am always in un
less I anr,out." , -

Invite me out to spend Sunday and
speak at your church or schooli
If you ever have a home coming or
a -hog killing and expect anything said
about it; you had better tell me be

Let's renew our fellowship and go
down the road together. '
Sincerely,
.CALEB A. RIDLEY,
