' George Cole of Haielwood, aged 19, -was instantly killed Saturday night t about 9 o'clock at the end of the nef .Hominy concrete, road, opposite R.-J. Gaston's store, when the car in which he was riding failed to make the left hand turn which crosses the over head bridge. The car went straight over a bank and turned over once or twice. Cole's skull was crushed and his neck-wos broken. He wag driving an Okland roadster for the J. 0. Plott wholesale grocery concern at Canton for whom he worked and had been making some collections that afternoon. It was thought the car was driven with too much speed. In the car was a son of Deputy Sheriff Sharp of Canton who was also painfully, but not seriously, injured. He was taken to a physician near by, and later in the night to his home. Cole's body was carried to Canton and later brought to the Medford undertaking establishment here to be embalmed, when it was taken to his home in Hazelwood to his aged, heart-broken mother, who had lost her husband, the late Dr. Cole who came here two or three years ago from Elberton, Ga. on account of his health. The boy is survived by a mother, one sister, Miss Lilian, who is a teacher at Winthrop college, Rock Hill. S. C. and three brothers :Charles of Jack sonville, Fla., James, who is in the . Navy, and Frank of Hazelwood. ' Funeral services were conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon by Revs. Geo. D. Herman, H. H. Hyde, R. H. Herring and S. R. Crockett with a large crowd in the home, on the veran dah and in the yard. The interement was in Green Hill cemetery, Waynesville. WAYNESVILLE PROGRESSIVE , CLUB. . Some dinner we had at the Bon Air on Monday night. The executive .committee, sat around the. ..festive, board and enjoyed Mr. Dunham's hos pitality to the full. Our President, Charles E. Quinlan, presided in his usual gracious manner and kept things moving along. Our guests, the County Commissioners, seemed to have a rattling good time and the Chairman, Mr. Osborne, certainly made one fine speech on Haywood county and its assets. From what he said, as well as what was said by the other speakers of the evening, the old song, "Haywood County Ain't What She's Going to Be in a Few Years From Now" was surely appro priate. Mr. Quinlan called on the chairmen of the various committees for some word about the work they were try ing to do, and all in all, we had one great good time and surely we agreed that Haywood county is the finest in the land. After listening to talks by the va rious men, and particularly that speech of Mr. Loden's, the man from Orlando, we' are. convinced that we should not depend alone on tourists, bat by building hard surfaced roads and opening up our back country which la rich in agricultural and hor ticultural possibilities, with, everyone pulling together, not alone for Ha te! wood, or Canton, or Wajmesville or the Lake, but all working together for good old Haywood county, we can put ourselves on the map in such a way as will bring thousands of dol lars into our coffers in the next few years. Yon should have heard Loden's speech some booster from Orange County, Florida who told us about hia county, with an assessed valua tion of twelve million, has gone into debt for hard roads and other per manent improvements , up into the millions. ' Wfcat about our beautiful county with an assessed valuation of twenty-six million owing practically: nothing In comparison to our re sources T Let's get behind the Coun ty Commissioners and by co-operat-'r ing with them and not quarreling at them help to get hard surfaced reads back Into our large and fertile val leys. ' , , c . Better join the Progressive Clnb with the other one hundred and twen ty-five already enrolled. - Ufa go! NOTICE. Hereafter anyone wishing to . see the Red Crees Secretary pleas call at the eflVe over Western Union on Monday, Wednesday and Friday From 10:00 to U:80 A. M, and to. 4 Pi M. SEPTEMBER TERM OF SUPERIOR , COURT. Superior court opened Monday morning for a two-week's term, pre sided over by Judge Harding of Char lotte. Misa Lassie Kelly of Frank lin is court stenographer. Hon Gilmer Jones of Franklin was on hand as solicitor to prosecute on behalf of the state in criminal cases. The following were drawn as mem bers of the gran-1 jury: Marian Mcd fora, Foreman. F. A. Justice, J. R. Terrell, John Ca'dweU, John C. Hoxiti, Robert Ferguson, Robt L. Crawford, J. D. Israel, Way Mease, T. H. Haynes, T.V. Long, J.E.Burnett, Zimri Messer, M. L. Hooper, Jarvis L.

Cabe, were on hand to perform their duty as officers of the court. .

He also paid high tribute to the county for the county home and farm which he had understood were highly creditable. Ju(a;e Harding called especial at tention to the crime of perjury, which is often committed, but seldom tried and punished. He said that in all his experience on the bench and as a practicing attorney that only one case of perjury had been tried. He said perjury would likely be commit ted here today. He also called attention to the speeding of automobiles. It as against the law to drive more than 25 miles over the roads of N. C. He referred to the distressing accident on Saturday night on the Asheville road at Hominy when one man lost his life and another was injured due to speeding, according to the papers.' If only the reckless auto driver would be injured it would not be so bad, but the lives of innocent persoYia are in jeopardy. He also called attention to men who do not display proper tags on their machines, men who are defrauding the State out of revenue and dodging in many ways the pay ment to the State of dues. He said it is estimated that 25,000 cars and trucks are running over our roads which have no right to run because they do not belp to build and main tain the roads which the other owners help to keep up. i He said that in a recent address Dr. P. P. Claxton, formerly U. S. Com missioner of Education, said that North Carolina is making more pro gress, educationally, than any State in the Union. He called attention to the school attendance law requiring parents and guardians to see that all children between seven and fourteen years of age attend the public schools. He also paid his respects to the moon shiners, bootleggers and the so-called respectable men who buy liquor.

Tate, Tern Ed- Trying to Ban 'By JESSE They're trying to ban the Ku Klux Klan Because they do not understand The workings of that secret band. Why not be fair? why cuss and swear, Because you do not know these guys Who wear white suits and don disguise? , Speaking of bans, some other clans Should be remembered for their deeds, Their oaths and arms and hateful creeds. Our states all reek with gangs who seek To put America on the blink While men in power nod and wink. Yet the Ku's declare that they are fair To all good men, and women, too, . Respecting law and all that's true. They make it plain that once again, America has a trusted guard To make the lives of scalawags hard. t Their holy creeds may help our needs Just now when men defy all laws And tear our social life with claws. These men profess to love and stress The Constitution much as life And will guard it s if child or wife. The I say to you, i it be true, Why all this fuss and hulla-baloo, To nag at men who are friends to you ? Those men have ways that may amaze, Which may deter some men of crime, But they seem saviors at this time. wards, Sam Miller, Lucius Bramlett, Clem Smathers, Joe Tate, Tom Davis, Lucius Haynes, Phil Morgan and Lloyd Tate were fined $50.00 each and costs for fighting chickens.
