An Open Letter From Paul E. Bruce; Republican Nominee For Representative.
MARS HILL, October 25th, 1922.
To The Voters Of Madison County.
"LADIES and GENTLEMEN"
- . As the Election is drawing near and feeling that it is going to be almost impossihle for me to get around and see all my friends again before they cast their ballots the seventh of
November; I take this method of communicating with those whom I might not happpen to see on my trip over the County. My reason for this is two-fold:
first there has been a world of untrue rVports circulated regarding what I was going tcdo when Igo down to Raleigh next January as your Representative. Some of these reports that you have heard are al
most too redicilous to be given any serious consideration. Take for instance the story going around that I would pass a law to prohibit our Country Stores from selling MEDICINES; arrange the fees for DOCTORS
in certain cases and require the employment of trained nurses and all such bosh as this. Friends, I am fiureyou have not taken this seriously because I believe I know the men and women of our County, and such
flimsy talis as these are really an insult to their intelligence. No Doctor, Druggist, Nurse, or any person allied or connected wirh them ever mentioned to me such a law or has this crowd ever asked my support of
any law fcat would in any wuy be favorabla to them and I want to say frankly that no man with HONOR would favor such a measure if there was any possibility of its past-age. I know that if I should think ' of in
troducing such a bill Morganton instead of Raleigh should be the end of my journey. '
As I stated in the Primary. I will not introduce or sponsor any law that would not be to the best interest of all the people of my County.. Before I go to,RaIeigh, it will be my pleasure to call a MASS-MEETING
of the Citizens to meet me at the Court House in Marshall for consulation and advise; and I shalj obligate myself to carry out to the best of my ability any legislation foe t he general up-building of our County
that may be agreed upon. I certainly am a progressive and enthusiastic ROAD MAN and I have always believed that some plan should be worked out whereby isolated townships should be given all ' due conside
ration and help in connecting with the . main leading HIGHWAYS which the State is now building; and maintaining; and I pledge myself to use my best efforts in helping thesyneglected townships to secure their
just dues.. ' - ... , . r.-. . "
Another Law thas T am heartily in favor of is the FREE distribution of SCHOOL BOOKS. There are several progressive States of the Union that are now doing this and just reeently such an agitation has
been started in our State. I certainly feel that this is one approporation that our State should make, as it would lift a burden from our people and iusure the additional education of thousands of children; -and if
this bill is Introduced I shall strongly support it; and if notl shall introdue it myself and urge its passage
If I do not get around to'see each and every one of you and have a face to face talk; it will not be because I haven't tried as I have greased me old Ford up and intend to start this morning on the way to
your house. If I don't get there before November the seventh I want you to be thinking of Paul strongly on this day and when you .go into the booth just mark in the circle at the top on the good old RADICAL
aide; Then you have voted her straight friend; the kind' your father always voted before you. , r
I am standing square i on all four corners and I shall never break faih with you; and you will never regret sending me as your Representative to the 1923 Legislature. , .
.V . Your Friend,
PAUL E. BRUCE.

-Infidelity- W h y it exists
and how to get rid of it," will
be the theme of the morning
hour at 11 o'clock.
In the larger cities of the
country Infidel Night Schools
have been established for the
express purpose of getting the
boys and girls to disbelieve in
God shake the confidence of
the men and women in the Old
Book and getting altogether to
look with contempt upon the
greatest teachings in the world
those of the Christian Religion.

Shall Wildlife Be

. -i
1 V3 C""
Not only the rich timber stands
of the Southern Appalachians but
the varied plant life and the rem
nant of once bountiful game are
threatened by forest fires. Oth
er agencies have helped in ' the
the destruction of game, but Ira
T. Yarnell of the Forest Service
points out in an article in yester
day's Citizen how fires not only
destroy trees and plants rare and
beautiful, but eggs and the
young of birds and our drupeds
The contrast drawn by Mr.
Yarnell of the once great wealth
of game and fowl in these moun
tains with the scarcity here to
day is not pleasant reading for
anyone who wishes to see 3 the
forest regions maintained in
all their beauty and natural at
traction. In this immediate ter
ritory, wild life is , practically
extinct except in the re
gions of Toxaway, the Tuckasei
fceeand Pisgah Forest. Horace
Kephart says : "It is not unus-
1 f :r ens f 3 hunt f '1 chy in n
What should North Carolina do
to end such conditions? Mr.
Yarnell lays dewn three steps in
the process of conservation: , .
(1) The passage and rigid en
forcement of adequate state-wide
game laws, restricting bag liftiit,
designating open seasons and
prohibitingraffic in dead game.
(2) the establishment through
out Western North Carolina of
small game refuea who uu

against shooting.
(3) A state-wide prevention
and suppression of forest fires. .
These proposals offer to the re

iienerat Assembly an opportunity
to advocate laws whiVh

need of a uniform game law, for
instance is admitted

will not be supplied until son
