Asheville times. Politics are warming up in Haywood coun ty perhaps more than in any other county in the mountain section. Not only is the campaign for county offices causing much speculation, but the state offices as well, especially that of gov ernor. . . , Haywood county, generally speaking, has been a "Fountain County" ever since the politi cal pot began to boil until Mr. Ehringhaus spoke at the court house here several weeks ago. Air. Ehringhaus made such a stirring appeal to the large audience that heard him that he brought most of his hearers to his side, and few, if any, turned away from the Easterner, until last Saturday Mr. Fountain made a similar trip to this county, and spoke to a larger number of voters (it being Saturday afternoon) and he told some things that had been previously ig nored and it seems now that he has gained back all the votes he lost to Mr. Ehringhaus some time ago. , , Unless there is a lot )f propoganda spread between now and June 4, or Mr. Maxwell, the only other candidate for nomination for gover nor, comes to Haywood and makes a speecn, that Haywood county will go is.it was .nrst thought she would, "A fountain County, This much must be said for the Ehringhaus 4.u of. 11 wnvU'mv hard and hone- f ul and will probab'v win back some of the lost votes, but anyway it looks now like we are in store for a good race for governor, as well as for a number of county offices. JUSTIJE SHOULD HANDLE THE LiND 1JERG1I KIDNAPERS AND NOT A MOIi One of the most deplorable events that has come to ihe attention of the American people in years was last mursuay aitexnouu uvu v decomposed body of the Lindbergh baby was found m the woods bout five mi es irom the Ll.'dbevgh home where the baby, was kidnaped 73 days before. Th kidnaping has created world-wide in terest and the largest man-hunt in the history of the country has been started. There -v no doubt in the world that the L .-astly murderers will be brought to justice, and that within a short time. We believe that the officials have a good clue and we would not be at all surprised if the inhuman person doing the act ; is"-' t al ready m the hands of the law. We do not be lieve that it would be wise to let it be known at present that the murcLrer had been caught, for fear that he or maybe "she" would be taken into th hands c " a mob. The citizens should demand that this pei son or persons cloint? the act sho Id be given the full ponalty of the law, but under no circum stances would it be right for a mob to try to handle the situation. Special care should be take" that the right parties are brought to justice and not take for granted too quicklv the fust person arrested. Jt n'tms from all reports that the tuat in tention was to murder the child and then re ceivp the ransom demanded ar never return the child. Even if their intention was a plain case of kidnaping, which should carry the same penalty as murder, the criminals should have been dealt with just as severely. The crime ! i ,uto,i inH rmrhintr can bring the lias ueiiM tuumuw-vi - lit i child back, but every precaution should be used to be ture that the rght ones are brought to justice and not convict any that are not guilty, for the ones that are termed guilty will surely die. 24 Years Ago in HAYWOOD . .,.n.:iiixi the erad- I aan.g class ot; the Graded Scnool and a number ot menus lasu 6- -nome on Main street.

PYPKIXG HOUSE IS NEEDED IN WEST- EIIN NORTH CAROLINA Every farmer interest in the future ot his family and community should take advan tairp of the livestock field day that is being lield' it the Lenoir C.wynn farm on Alay -j. ine purpose ot this event is to show to the tarm ers antl stock growers in Western North Caro lina the type of stock necessary to be raised here in the mountains for the proposed packing house that Swift and Company are willing to establish here, providing they can get the type of animals desired to operate their business. This is not a private business venture. It is one that v"l affect every person in North Carolina's most progressive 18 counties, West ern North Carolina. The packing house can be had if tl.o stock will be available. It seems that the demand for hogs is the greatest need at the present time. We pork eaters here m tns mountains are eating about 70,000 more hogs a year than we raise, and at an average profit of S3 per hog we are losing $210,000 a year income Irom porkers alone. Hogs are only one of the many varieties of meat that the packing house would use. . i j j There are many advantages to be derived from the establishment of a packing house near here: t would provide a direct cash outlet for livestock; it would necessitate an increase in uumlxv of cattle; provide a large and steady flow of money here at home for the farmer; and it would keep thousands of dollars at home that are now being sent to other parts of the country . Former Senator Helfm, of Alabama, who J was defeated last election, msuu .j . - speech beiore the Senate last week, demand ing that that bodv deny his successor a seat in the Senate chamber. It seems that making a five hour speech is no way to try to get back in an organization, especially when the speaker repeats rs much as Ilefiin. The farmers received 31 million dollars less ,v'iqii fV.nn in 1920. according to late farm figures just released. These same farmers paid over 11 million taxes on their property, which is considerably less than they paid in lf30. After all, it seems ttiat every thing works together for the good of us all, when we receive less, we pay Ies3 and when we pay less we receive less, so there we are just rfprl After 'all. .what's Ihe use V AlVX W J 1. w r I to grumble? and his prouuets. .
