DECEMBER 1"), 19.52 REDUCE COURT EXPENSES There is one it urn of expense in North Caro lina which stands in sore need of reduction about which very little is heard. It is the cost of courts. There is nobody who has the, duty and the power to check these expenditures. County commissioners have no voice as to spec ial terms and judges and solicitors are not fixed with responsibility for keeping down the costs. Much money could be saved here. In opening Forsyth Superior Court. Judge Thomas -I. Shaw deplored the large number of grand jurors now used, saying nine or twelve would be sullicient and save time. ADVERTISING FOR HAYWOOD COUNTY THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BOUGHT Few weeks pass that The Mountaineer does not have something to say about advertising this county to the outside world. As there are several ways in which a community may be effectively advertised, we have not mentioned all the methods, but one of the best ways, which I has been mentioned before, is illustrated by the article which we trust you read last week in this :-oiumn Dr. I'oe's version of mountain farming Dr. 1'oe was invited here to speak at a group meeting of the civic clubs of the county. ) He accepted the invitation to speak and 'ilso to speak at the community fair at Bethel. He was so enthused over the conditions he found in this county that he devoted a page in his magazine about Haywood County. Money could not have bought that space, and besides it would not have been nearly as effective. So, once more, we suggest, urge, and re quest that more stress be given to letting the world know about us. What did Dr. Poe's visit cost nothing. What was it worth untold thousands. Some day we'll realize that this was true. Why not get others to come here at our invitation so that they may go out and tell the world of the county. 'here is no good reason why a jury -houh be coinijwsed of twelve members. . Six would -ervi' jusi a.s well 'as the present number. The Uar Association has much to say about judicial' reform, but raiely presents am con crete okii! that would reduce court expenses. In lhe.- days when all other costs are comine; down, why not reduce court costs? The. above editorial appeared in the Raleigh News anil. Observer recently, and since Hay wood county, has just had a', termed' criminal court it ;eems most fitting to bring to mind. a few facts about court costs. We were impressed by the remark' matte by Judge H. Hoyle Sink about the jury system. Judge Sink said that when he was a lawyer he was often led to believe that the present jury system was all wrong, '-but. since he had gone on the bench he was becoming convinced daily that it was the best method after all. This has been a subject of much debate for many years, and it seems that there is little enough senti ment against it to do away with the present jury system, but there does seem, however, to be milch sentiment growing against the grand jury. Ttie general opinion of many is that the grand jury should be abolished, or as the News and Observer says, at least reduce the number of members of that body. We would like to see the suggestion mack by the New.-, and 'Observer tried, but i; seems to us that a long as ha dockets.are being over loaded with cases tliat the trend is toward an increase in coui';. expenses instead of a decrease. What really should be dona is more cases settl ed out of cf. tut and fewer crimes committed bill hoc. i ; i iiat io. be brought about V Uatier . men than we have fa i lad to gat the satisfactory answer to : that question. hinlv we know when- the trouble is. but v,e don't know how to remedy it.

This is said to be the highest .price ever, paid for a single book, but within a few years it may bring a great deal more. A similar bible sold for only S2."ou about S years ago. ' -. When J. P. Morgan, the elder, died in 1013, his art treasures were, valued at close to SlOii. 000,000. IIK manuscripts included the origi nals of nine novels by Sir Walter Scott, Dickens' "The Christmas Carol," Thackeray's ''Vanity ' Fair" and many works by Keats, Poe, Whitier, Longfellow and others. A single purchase of 700 books by Mr. Morgan in .'11)02 cost him a million and a quarter dollars. 1 : The late Henry Huntington left a collection for which he had paid about twenty millions. The finest collection of Shakespeare's works ini existence is in the Folger lilirary in Brooklyn. ; Europeans have long deplored the acquisi tion of their library and art treasures by Ameri cans, but so long as they are highly prized by our wealthy men, they will continue to come to our shores. 24 Years Ago in HAYV00D Do You Know Your County Officials?

Last' week Judge II. Hoyle Sink passed a compliment to Haywood county citizens that we feel is worthy of mention again in this column, for seldom does a judge praise a thousand peo ple who are attending a murder trial or some other capital oll'ense case for the manner in which they acted white attending the irial or 1 rials, as tile case was here. A .judge' studies human nature and can readily see the good and. bad trails of a people evi it when the.v 'are not being tried before him. '.Impressions' on an audience's faces tell what ihey are thinking about and have in their heart:; and with this in mind to have a judge made the '.'complimentary remarks 'that -Judge Sink .made, speaks 'most highly for the citizens of the coun ty. .' Judge Sink termed the audience as acting refined and dignified and exctedingly quiet, thus portraying all the traits of a most Cultured audience. We would have expected a politician to say that, but coming from a judge it means much more, because it is not their nature to pass out llowers very Often to their audiences. M: and Mrs. I). I).

There was no.-elaborate ceremony to mark the beginning of their ad ministration 'except for the fact that they got right down to business,, without hesitation. Dili' in i' the campaigns, in June and Novem ber all three members of the board made their campaign on econonn- i" i the county, and n longer had they been in office than a few . hours' when an investigation was underway to find the cause of' certain-' county expenses. Of course, ; it will take some f e w weeks to get things goiii'C their' v.ttv. ..f Ti,e r.ew board has changed fne old obey p.Vo'vi'd'ing for : the poor and is cooperating .. Wit ii the county welfare ollieer ins'.ead of htind! ing all caesv themselves.. The board is furnish ing materials, and tools for many different' pfo- ject s in tho; county oil piibbc improvements and tile labor is; being hired from the feileral aid funds that were acquired by the county, thus Ike county is getting projects improved and construction without cost for labor and at. the same time caring for .the needy of the county.. This is a real service to the needy of the county and the board is to be commended for the im mediate, action they, took in this matter and the refusal to follow the dole system to care for the needy. .'- '; Under the new policy put into force by tho board, Haywood county taxpayers will be saved, money, and certainly the people that have been getting donations from the county will find that they must now give some work in return for the money received. i If the new board accomplishes nothing more during their administration other than to see that these policies are kept in force they will have re V.ered to Haywood County a greater service than the citizens of the county can pos sibly ever repay. Let us do our part to cooperate with the new board and by helping them, we are in turn helping oif vivos.
