not seem to be able to pay what is re

in our own commuity there was sold

and also a higher assessment, and
really must have it in order to pay for
certain schemes that are on. It s
been "paraded around" that the com
mon man does not have to pay any
State tax. If you own an automobile,
sell a casket, or about a hundred oth
er things, you pay state tax and lots
of it. The last legislature passed a
bill requiring a small card to be pur
chased by every owner of an auto
at a price of twenty-fiv cento for
each card, or a sum very near $lo0r
000, and, too, the particular card can
only be furnished by one Party that
has the patent on it. Isthis not sweet

POINTS ON MARS

Mr. Jim Stikeleather met with the
Madison County Board Commission
ers Tuesday, when quite a discussion
arose as to the location of the road
from Marshall to Mars Hill. The out
come of the meeting seemed to indi
cate that the road will be so located
as to touch Marshall, Petersburg,
Mars Hill, and Coxe's Bridge. But
the State will not consider following
the old course. It was agreed that
Madison County would lend the State
$225,000 to apply on roads as 101

Hot Springs and Bluff, and $50,000
on the road between Walnut Gap and

The days ot miracles have passed to
some extent on account of unbelief.
On the first of last August, I was
the bed of affliction. I had been
in poor health for a long time. The
doctor said. I had bright's disease in
n advanced stage, a weak heart and
bad nerves. The doctor did all that
he could, and he and the people all
thought that I had to go then, but
praise God, I held on to His unchang
ing hand and His promises. 1 went tne
Bible way by calling the christians
and the elders of the church to pray
for me. James 6th chapter. There wns
r.ne thinor that I had not done ana
that was to be annointed with oil. My
husband wrote Rev. K. V. fceii co
come and annoint me but he sent

Please read 1st Corrinthians, iz cnap-

of healing. She came the first Mon
day in August. 1 was in Dea, very
weak, but God gave me strength to

until a short time ago. I asuea uoa
restore my sight so that I might be
able to see to read His blessed word.
Now I can see to read through the
classes that I used for walking ana
can read without glasses. I can also
thread a small needle. Read James 5,
13 11 and lfith verses. Is anv among
you afflicted let him pray, is any sick
let him call ior tne aiaers ui. ww
Church and let them pray over him
annointing him with oil in the name
of the Lord and the prayer of the
faith shall save the sick and the Lord
shall raise him ud and if he hath
committed sins they shall be forgiven
him. Read Mark 16:17,18th , verses
anH these sisms shall follow them that

and if they drink any deadly thing it

Mrs. J. Kj. namsey, dr.,
Marshall, N. C, R.
W. Irving Glover, second assistant
Postmaster General, makes the inter
esting prediction that before very
long the railroads of the United
States will be forced to go into the
airplane passenger service. For a
long time, says Mr. Glover, the rail
roads ignored the motor bus. "but the
latter has now supplanted the railroad
i, a number of ulaces for quicker
-transportation, and the plane will cut
the rauroaa scneauieB in a uuiuun v
places by more than half."
In the western part of the country
good progress is reported by Mr.
Glover in the development of passen
ger travel by air. He makes the
point, and it is a good one, that com
mercial aviation has been retarded in
America by aviators whose "air
stunts" and "air-circus riding" ha
frightened the general public. When
the automobile was young many peo
ple were afraid of it for a like rea
son. Mr. Glover in a statement on Mon
day said that he had no information
regarding the futuro plans of Pit
cairn, Inc., of Philadelphia, contrac
tors for the New York-Atlanta air
mail route, for night ilying, but gave
it as his confident opinion tnat mis
firm "will follow in the path of others
in developing commercial aviation."
The route, he said, win De in opera
tion as soon as the woric oi ngnung
the airway is completpd.
In New York on Tuesday the de
signer of the Bellanca plane announc
ed the letting or contracts ior nv
large triple motored airplanes to be
used in a regular service Deiweeu
New York and Chicago, the flight U
take approximately seven and a hall
hours. The prediction was maae was
within two years New i oik win nave
an hourly air service to Chicago ana
that a route to Miami is under consideration.
Aviation in America seems to nave
secured at last the impetus it needed
to insure it advance. All the more
reason, therefore, why Asheville
should speed up in the matter oi au
airport.. What's become or tne pro
ject? It means too much to the city
to let it languish. Ashevlile Citizen.

for the prizes offered by the National -Farm
News for the best letter giving
a solution of the present farm depres
sion, it remained for a Tarheel from

Fred W. Vaughn is his name and
he published the Peoples' Advocate.
Hunareas oi suggestions were ui
fered in the contest. Letters from
all over the United States were re
cived by the National Farm News and
considered by the judges but the
short pithy letter from Mr. Vaughn
was adjudged the best and he was
given first prize of $100.
The extension woncers oi ow
College feel flattered that thruout his
letter, Mr. Vaughn followed the same
line of thought upon which the agri
cultural program of this state is being
builded. His letter and the activities
of the extension forces are in peneci
harmony.
In part, Mr. Vaughn says, "Fann
ing,, like every other productive en
terprise, cannot be successful with
out sound business managemnet. The
lack of this is the chief hadicap of
the great majority of farmers.
"Inasmuch as the farmer has to sell
his products on an unprotected mar
ket, and buy his supplies in a pro
tected market, he must overcome this
difficulty as far as possible by hying -at
home. That is, he must produce
on his farm to the extent of his abil
ity wbt he consumes. He will thus
have less to buy.
"The farmer must learn that toe
price for which a product is sold does
not determine profit nor loss except
when considered in connection with ..
the cost of production. . . . In-

many farmers from bankruptcy. . .
