CHURCH INDIFERENCE
Indifference of the members is the greatest
drawback of the Christian church today. The
church's greatest enemy is within its own mem
bers. In most of our Christian churches, a few
members must bear ah the load. Many mem
bers do not attend church only oiv special oc
casions. They do little work, pay none and
pray little, if any.
Discipline in most of our churches i.; a
thing of the past. The outside work: can tell
little oiuerence between church members and
non-members. Members can get drunk, serve
sentences on the chain gang or state prison,
curse, fight, gamble or live immoral lives and
nothing is done about it. The leadei's. usually
are "afraid they will hurt somebody's feelings."
If more church members were on the "job" it
would be a different world. Think about this
if your name is on the church roll. Suppose
every member was just like you, "what kind of
a church would it be?" Rutherfordton News.
MUNICIPAL SCHOOL BUILDINGS
"1 should not be surprised if this new
K-hool law and the redistricting under it should
not prove a 'hot bed of litigation," remarked an
outstanding member of the legal profession to
the writer a few days ago. The barrister was
figuring it from a standpoint bf municipal own
ership of school buildings by the state. Take
Mocksville for instance. The people of the city
voted a tax on themselves wit'i which to erect
our school building. The ''.school building is
therefore the property of the municipality and
the town is a corporation a person capable of
suing and being sued; capable of purchasing
and holding property the same as an individual.
Now, the state takes" over the school and if the
town owes any bonds voted for the erection of
the building, the burden is left upon the town
to pay these bonds. It can therefore be easily
seen that the town will demand payment for
the building and equipment, -'and will be entitled
to recover the -value of the building out of-the
state. This is nothing more than fair. Of
course, just how the state will 'manage to ac
quire the property is another question. It might
be possible that the building could be condemn
ed under the right of eminent domain, but that
brings about an interesting discussion of law.
Anyhow, indications are that the reorgani'.a- .
tion of the school system under the 19::! law
is. not going to be the easy problem that many:
might think. Mocksville- Enterprise.
THE MOUNTAINS AS A PLAYGROUND
(F. YV. Hicknell, in The Avery Advocate)
The mountains are coming into their chief
.fraction now as a playground, and the crowd
that is coming to see our beautiful flowering
shrubbery indicates that it is vvell advertised
and much admired. Somehow, people find the.
money with which to buy gasoline and come to
the mountains when hot weather and the flow
er show begin. , Let us not do anything to dis
courage them from coming, for even if they do
not spend, they talk about us and send others,
so when money, is easier to get we shall have
plenty of "paying guests." It is irritating, to
say the least, to find flowers and great branches
of flowering shrubbery lying in the road, thrown
down a few minutes after having been thought
lessly broken off, but this is becoming more
unpopular every year. Our visitors are heed
ing the request to "leave flowers for others to
enjoy,"-; :-';.
Motorists traveling on Highway No. 10 at
Clyde can't help but be impressed with the
roses now in bloom along the road-side. Almost
at every house there is a rose bush climbing
along a fence or trellis. It is things like this
that make a community more attractive and
a better place in which to live,
BRICKBATS YS. BOQUETS
Dan Tompkins, editor of the Jackson Coun
ty Journal, got off on the wrong foot last week
when commenting on the appointment of Frank
W. Miller as a member of the high-way-public
works commission.' It seems that the Jackson
County citizens were anxious that one of their
citizens be named on the commission, and when
Governor Ehringhatis saw fit to name a Hay
wood man it did not set so well in Jackson Coun
ty, or at least with the editor of that county.
Editor Tompkins said in part:
"Haywood county has been most fortunate
in the appointments and in holding State offices.
Mr. Jeffress is a native of Haywood. Mi'. MHler
is from Haywood, giving the chairmanship and
one member to native sons of Haywood. VV. T.
Lee, of Haywood, has been a chairman of the
Corporation Commission for many years. The
solicitor of this judicial district lives in Hay
wood. It so happens that, due to the rotation
agreement, the present State senator from this
district is from Haywood. When Judge Walter
E. Moore laid down his working tools, last wint
er, and passed on to his reward, Governor Eh
ringhaus immediately appointed Felix E. Alley
of Haywood as his successor; and the Governor
again went to Haywood to make his appoint
ment on the Highway and Prison Commission."
Now let's look into the thing a little. Mr.
Jeffress was born in this county, but left when
just a boy. Mr. W. T. Lee was elected bv the
people of the state to his office and not appoint
ed. The office of solicitor is voted on hv thi
people, and the agreement as to senator is self
explanatory. Judge Alley is a native of Jack
son county, having lived there until a few years
ago. He is filling the unexpired term of Judge
Walter Moore who was a Jackson County man.
It seems that the Jackson County paper is not
laying any claim whatever to Judge Alley being
a Jackson Man.
Evidently Editor Tompkins in his wrath
forgot the pleasant things which he could .have
said regarding the appointments Instead of
trying to make it appear that Haywood County
was greedy and being shown partiality, he could
have used it to his advantage, we believe. In
stead of that he goes on to say:
"ReaJly, Haywood has been most fortunate.
The only time that his excellency has had an
opportunity to make an appointment to a major
office in these parts, that he overlooked Hay
wood, was when ; he appointed Mr. Holler, of
Rutherford,; way. down east of the Ridge, on the
School Commission, and, so far as is known, no
Haywood citizen had any aspirations in that
direction.
"It is an unusual thing for the judge and
.solicitor of the judicial district to be from the
same county, and a county that is thus honored,
is considered as having its full share of the
political power; but when the honors continue
to fall to the same county, it is considered -.as
being more than fortunate.
"There is no especial kick against Mr. Mil
ler, it is hoped that lie will take a large view of
the big job that he now holds, and will hold the
scales of justice to the several sections of the
district to an even keel but there were many
people in the district who IVlt that Haywood
had already been sulliciently honored, and. that
the ends of political justice to the counties that
nominated ( iovernor Ehringhaus could be bet
ter met by dividing up such honors as hi Ex
cellency had.; to hand out. ;.
: "In fact, most people believed that Jackson
had the job in the bag on Friday morning, until
something happened that evening that upset
the apple cart and people are ; wondering who
upset it, and why.
"It would have pleased the district mighti
ly for the Jackson man to have been appointed ;
and it would at the same time, have been giving
recognition to this county that gave; Ehring
haus a larger percentage of the vote in the pri
mary than did any county in the State, not
excepting his own baliwick, way down in .Al
bemarle." We wonder if Mr. Tompkins forgot about
his pet project, Highway KMI, when he was
writing the above.

During the past few weeks there have been
more business houses in Waynesville repainted

Nothing; looks better than a nice clean business

business than a dirty one. We predict better
business for those improving their places of
