Business And Politics
One of tlio weeklies in its fi
nancial column states that the
present political situation is
causing no anxiety disturbances
there may be, but are largely per
sonal. "The encouraging fea
ture is that the dependence of
business on political conditions
is decreasing steadily" Time
was when business felt a shock
every time a presidential year
come around and men expected
conditions to be unstable but to
day there is less attention paid
to it than ever. Men go on in
their life and leave the fighting
to tho politicians and less and
less do the people feel an inter
est or let these things disturb
them. It makes very little dif
ference who is in power and the
great catastrophes prophesied
are no longer a bug bear to the
people. Panics respect no party
because all parties suffer from
them. An era of prosperity leads
to looseness in money matters
mid later a stop is made. A
sudden contraction of spending
and speculation and the result
is a panic.
However all that is with us the
common people. Panics are
inado by the people when they
have too much money and- it has
come to easily. e are glad to
nee the blame placed where it
belongs. Formerly the business
world have little confidence
t ie people at large, today they
know that the people can be tfe
pended on to do what is right
and the sober second thought of
the common people is going to
lead it right. This government
is by the people' for the' people
and it is going to do what is
right. We ' are no mob
to be led by demagogues to our
own detriment, we are a think
ing machine and we Amercians
think. We'get excited sometim
es but when we calm down,
usually we do what is right and,
we can "-depend On the citizen to
do what is right.
So business goes on. There
are fights between leaders but
the final vote is given by us. tye
are "it" and lets use our com
sense and presidents may go but
we go on. It is the educating of
the mass that is doing it.
They say the American soldier
is the best in the world , because
he is no mere machine moved by
others like" pawns on a chess
board but is a thinker. We say
that the American citizeiiiia . the
best in the world because he
thinks and does what is best.
The general diffusion of learn
ing the native independence of
thought make him a power.
This .is seen by the landslides
one way or another in the politi
cal world. when our party does
something wrong, when it does
not live up to its promises, the
people take their affairs into
their own hand and demand an
acc6untng oft,, the stewardship
and there is going to be one now.
That ia v. tftyeasenbusiness
freJsWerlrturry although it is said
"foat one ol the greatest strug
gles is on, , one ; that will cleave
both parlies..' 'Business has per
fect confidence ' in the people
not in speculators and trusts
but in the people lets not fail that
trust. . '.

Farmers Institute
It is hard to. estimate the agri
cultural poslbilities of Madison
County. While it is true that it
is very rugged. and rough yet
few counties ih our state are so
fertile. What we need now is a
genuine revival of farming inter
est. Every farmer should farm
not only to make a living but to
make all the money he can
Thero is no taint aboutthe dollar
made -on the farm, its harvest.
The farmer is the real producer
of wealth. The farmer should
take as much pride in the ap
pearence of his farm as the artist
does in the appearence of his
painting. Ho should bo just as
interested in turning off first
class farm products as the manu
facturer is in turning off high
grade manufactured products.
He should be just as proud of
his herds of cattle, sheep and
ect as the lawyer is of his pro
fession. He should be just as
ambitious to educate his children
and to have modern homes and
conveniences as the city man.
What is the great essential to
successful farming?- Its know-
edge. The common Impression
that just anybody can farm is
erroneous. That when a man
hasn't got sense enough to do
anything else, he can farm, is
a stander to one of the most
honorable vocations of life.
True anybody can dig the
ground but knowledge only can
tell you how to get the maximun
results from your work. Are
... . i i..
you getting tne oest rcsui
from ycur labors? Are you
making two blades of grass
grow where one formerly grew?
Do you know all about farming,
stock raising, gardening ana
fruit growing? If you do not,
why not attend the Farmers Ins
titute in the county July 22 and
23, and get suggestions from tho
experts sent out by the state to
help you as well as confer with
the other farmers of our county?
You may not be in a position to
apply all you learn it may not be
wise for you to do so, b u t
"provo all things and. hold fast
to that which is cood." You
will cct ideas from them that
applied, will put more corn in
your crib, bigger hogs in your
pen and better apples in your or
chard. These Institutes cost
you nothing and you cant afford
to miss them. The teachers of
our countv are holding now a
two weeks institute.
The merchants have their as
sociations, the bankers, the law
yers, the doctors all have theirs
and if they can benefit by an ex
change of ideas, why can't the
farmer. If you know all about
farming yourself then should
you not attend anyhow as a duty
to your fellow man and give him
the benefit of your vast know
ledgeand information? Come any
how. ,
Help Somebody Today.
The world needs help all the
time. ; There are a great many
things that we can do that will
make the world better.
.The temptation is to wait un
til something great comes to us
and in waiting all of us let slip
opportunities that may become
great by growth.
One of the easiest things to do
is to help some one each day and
there are many persons who
need our help by comfort, by
favors, done by aid in any way
that comes to us.
It is a good motto to have and
a good resoraCib'n'fo make each
day, to do some one a benefit in
order that they may be bettered
and perhaps pass it along.
We sing the song with this re
frain but do we act upon it and
do we seek the opportunities and
enjoy the priviliges that lie in
our ways, vwany aneari is Help
ed along in its way by some little
act of ours and, the world made
better and a life-brightened. See
if you cannot help some one to
day and helping, make the world
better.

Celebration on Pine Creek.
The ceieoration or the 4tn on
Pine Creek was one of tho best
that has been held in our county.
Every one from the districts em
braced by this school out did
themselves to make that' day a
success and it surely was a sue
cess. The occasion was tUfc da
dication of the new school build
ing and early the people began
to gather. . "
Tables had been made out on
the grounds where dinner was
to ho served Mer.
At 10:30 o'clock the people
were called together to hear the
singing and the addresses. There
were four classes present and
each one vied with the other to
make the occaasion one to be re
membered. After all the class
es had been heard, lion. R. M.
Sams began the meeting in his
usual pleasant way and placed
it on a high plane to which dur
ing the day. He introduced the
lion Jasper Ebbs who as usual
filled every one with delight
Mr. Ebbs with wyt and quip kept
his audience in a good humor
anefdrove hour the truths he so
well knows how to enunciate.
Mr Sams also introduced two
more sneakers wno were not
there but who arrived afterward.
Hie hour for dinner had arri
ved and the many persons found
ample food and to spare. It was
calculated that a thousand- per
sons were present but the boun
tiful provision was enough for
double the number. Everybody
was in a good humor and after
dinner the classes again come to
gether and sang after which
Prof. Buckner was asked to in
troduce Prof. Allen, who is con
ducting the Institute at Marshall
Prof. Allen felicitously began
his address and then laid down
some fundamental principles that
underlie all good school work.
Prof.. Allen spoke for some
twenty five minutes and held tht
audience well undor sway.
After another song the editor
spoke in the place of Hon. T. J.
Murray regretting very much
that Mr. Murray was not present
to speak for himself and do what
no one else can do, entertain and
lead the audience to better
things. ,
After another song Prof. Buck
ner County Supt, was intro
duced by Mr. Sams and for quite
a while delighted the audience
with a well delivered address,
dwelling upon the merits of the
people of Little Pine in building
the house.
After this address Mr. Ebbs
again asked for the floor speaking
about the need of benches for
the school.
Mr. George Wild of Big Pine
spoke much to the point and sug
gested that the outsiders give
money for the bell. , After the
contributions had been counted
it was found that the audience
had given $24.75 for this pur
pose. The people of Little Pine and
some friends from outsWe gave
the lumber . and . the ; County
School Hoard promised to have
tbem.ma.de. About $50.00 was
given for this.
After all this the crowd .began
to leave feeling that the day had
been well 6pent and that Little:
Pine had done itself proud in en
tertaining and giving such a
proof of patriotism and liberality. I
The building of the the Little
Pine district is a very fine build-1
ing, of three rooms , capable of
seating we should judge about
200 pupils. With our law as it
now is, this will likely be. suffi
cient for a while. '
There are 327 pupils ' in the
district. . : ,"
We wish to congratulate . the
people' on their enterprise and
enthusiasm and wish for them a
most successful year. '

Civic Betterment
We are sure that something
should be done. for civic better
ment. Lost week we published
an article about Murphy and in
it was mentioned the fact that a
civic betterment club had helped
wonderfully. One person or two
cannot do all things but quite a
number who have clubbed to
gather can do great things. Civic
betterment could ba started by
the ladies.
We are sure should they take
ahold of it, that our town could
be cleaned up our yards beauti
fied and paper, and trash could
be kept from the streets. 'Cry

ACCIDENT.
Last Thursday night an acci
dent happened at Craggy In
which several Marshall boys
were implicated. It has peen
the custom for the boys to leap
on freight trains and ride and
some of our boys Preston Ball,
Arthur Cook, Major Lowe, and
Henry Fortner got on a freight
and rode to Craggy where they
decided to get off.
In doing this Major Lowe was
seriously hurt, it being reported
for a time that he had been kill
ed Henry Fortner was badly
bruised, and skinned up the oth
ers escaped Lowe is in the
Hospital at Ashe ville and is seri
ously hurt,
Time after time such accidents
happen and still the young boys
will not learn their lesson but go
on swinging on the train.
We are sorry this has happen
ed but would impress upon all
the dangerousnesa of doing these
things,
George L. Illgble, Manton, Mich,
used Foley Kidney Pills for kidney
and bladder trouble. He says: "I
find for my case no other medicine
equals Foley Kidney-Pills for bene

FOURTH OF JULY.
Last Thursday evening there
was a good display of fire works
on the hill surmounting the Cot
ton Mill.
Quite a crowd was present and
enjoyed the display which lasted
for over arid hour. The people
of town appreciated,, it from a
distance and watched the rockets
and wheels which were very
beautiful. ; .'
The giver of this is to be con
gratulated on the pleasure given
to all.

French Broad Association at
Waynesville
On June 26th and 27th a - con
ference of the Western Division
of the W. M. U. of North. Caro
Una was held in Waynesville
First Baptist Church. Out of
the eleven Associations in this
division, seven were represented
which shows that our energetic
superintendent, Mrs. Woodall
bas been prayerfully and cons
s'.entiously at her post of ' dutv
writing letters, making personal
visits and i inspiring each - asso
ciation by having the hearty co
operation of all of - her vice pre
sidents. The good to be obtain
ed from attending these Insti
tutes cannot be estimated. .
Let us as an Association rally
around our vice president, Mrs.
R. L. Moore, so that next year
will find all our churches repre
sented instead of one.
The Standard of excellence is
worth our time and thought, If
wo cannot keep the nine points
we can keep some of them, so
for this year, suppose we . select,
at least, four points and earnest
ly endeavor to carry them - out.
If you haven't this . standard
write to your vice president for
it and ask any questions that
puzzle you that is her duty and
privilige. to help, you.
We must not forget our, watch
word for the year, Prayer and.
the responsibility resting on us
for organizing and keeping alive
the Junicr Societies, Our girls
and boys need our help, shall
we go to their rescue or leave
them to struggle alone or per
haps to die from want of support
and encouragement? Let us look
to the hope of Christian Ameri
ca. The first day of' the Confer
ence was spent in discussing our
watchword "Prayer; the Stanl
ard of Excellence; the needs, op
portunities and responsibilities
connected with our mountain
schools, and difficulties in county
churches. Dr. A. E. Brown gave
us a splendid address on Home
Missions and Mrs. Scruggs of
Canton told us of the bright
prospects for China.
That evening. . Rev. E. T.
Scruggs brought China before
our eyes with his well selected
pictures. . ' 1
The second day such strong
appeals for Christian steward
ship were urged, that many re
solved to tithe the coming year
Sisters, is it not worth while?
Think on it and think so strong
ly that you will act
The conference was fortunate
in having; the corresponding
Secretary. Miss Blanche Barrus
of the W. M. U. of N. C, pre
sent.. She brought sunshine and
inspiration and we surely trust
to have her each year.
As a grand climax Rev. W. N.
Johnson, of Wake Forest, spoke
to us on State Missions,- causing
us to look within our own bord
ers, and Dr. Waller, of Ashe
ville, on "The Field is the World"
lifting our eyes to see the .whit
ened harvest. ' u '
. For the welcome of the Way
nesville folks Into their lovely
town and the opening of their
hearts and homes to us we give
many thanks but, especially, do
we thank Mrs. Woodall, who
has so faithfully served the' Di
vision, for the success of the
Institute, - Realizing that a 1 J
things come through -Him let us
thank Him and prayerfully work
for ther next conference. .
