The future of Haywood County Will be
written at the polls next Saturday, when the
Democrat ic nominees are elected by What in
dications show will be the largest vote ever cast
in the history of the county.
Because of the fact that ;!1 candidates are
in the race for county oilices, and a number of
township races, the voters will turn out in large
numbers to do their part towards their choice
of candidates.
It is not our ..intention to try and persuade
any voter how to vote, but it seems that under
no circumstances should any 'candidate even he
considered who is iiot progressive and. willing
to-see the -progre.-s of Haywood ''move forward.

TAXES MIK ALW AYS PASSED ON
"I wish to heaven tha: we could once rea
that every tax paid is a burden upon indus.
upon agric'iilt ure, and upon commerce. 1
would that we can lay a tax on a big bank, or a
big coi poi al ion. oi a rich man and run the gov.
eminent. The taxes are passed on, and always
will be. If I understand I he laws of the United
States aright , they are intended to he passed on.
They arc described .in the Constitution as .im
posts and excises, and -imposts and excises are,
in contemplation of law, always to be passed on."
That isn't a declaration of a "0ig Business
Man. " It is found in t he ( 'ongressional Record
and -was .said by Senator Bailey, Democrat,
of North Carolina.
It would be- a line thing if every worker,
every property owner, every investor, .would
read and ponder-that. It is sound economic
truth. No business, no industry, can pay a tax
itself. It must get the money from its custo
mers, or it must take it out of the pay of its
employes, or out of dividends to stockholders
who, in most cases, are just average citizens,
with a few hundred or thousand dollars of hard
earned savings in investments which they rely
upon.
Excessive daxes confiscate property. They
.confiscate jobs and savings. They .close, fac
tories,, and foreclose homes and farms. They
stand in the wav of industrial expansion, and
the investment ol the capital that would pro.,
vide more employment, more opportunities,
more purchasing power. Thev are a harrier to
recovery.
Kllieient, .economic government is essential
to regaining and maintaining 'normal times.

i '.vioie men ot I'roj. .Sentelle as a
public olii.ial; now 1 write- of him as
a man and as mv old teacher.
I .lust before the middle Til's of the'
I hi-t century, lie Masonic Fraternity,
'seeillii thai there was no school of
'-tan iing in ou'r county, built the old
.Masonic or Waynesville Academy right
luh' re' the ,-tree t now is between the
M t hod is: Church and the Elementary
j .School, and there for a number of
yiais maintained a school. It consist
ed on the first floor of two rather large
s.-hobl looms, and in front an entrance
hall with a small room on the north
side; and on the South a small room
containing a .stairway leading to a
school room above these little front
looms, and behind to the large lodge
rt.cm with its anterooms.
In this building and I believe in
this second story mom, I'rof. Sentelle
taught .me, a little boy, about lS7d
and afterwards. I distinctly remem
ber tlv.it there he was the first to in
troduce mc to the complexities of
English gramrinar. I do not remem
ber how many years he taught' me,
but I do know that teaching me over
a number of years he did much to lay
the foundation of my education, and
to this day I am grateful to him.
Another thing I remember of him is
that he used occasionally to take me
with him to his home in Pigeon Gap.
We would walk the dVs miles there in
the afternoon after school, and walk
back the next morning by about 8
o'cloe'k. Today like the Roman poet
i write mat "nappy is the remem
brance of these things."
I '.have known K. A. Sentelle long
and well. So man in Haywood has
served better his day anel generation.
He unselfishly gave the many years
of his life to the people among whom
his lot was ca.st serving them by both
teaching and preaching, and bv living
an honorable and upright life based
on character and integrity. Full of
these long and' well-spent years, he

Xo time witliin the past four or live years
has this community done as much in prepanu
' lion for (lie summer tourists as has been done
tln.s jear. "I here hae been .more houses .paint
ed, repaired and new furniture used than in
several seasons.
There are more boarding houses open Cor
summer, visitors this year than at anv time
within the past five years. There has been a
more definite program made by individuals and
the community as a whole than at anv other
time.
Kve.ry indication is that all this work is not
being done in vain, because alreadv the people
are coming here from the regions that do not
afford the moderate temperature as is found
heie. La.st Tuesday week thirteen tourists reg
istered at i he Chamber of Commerce. Each day
brings in new ones some passing through and
spend the day or a night, while others are com
ing for several weeks or the season.
i Tile Chamber of Commerce is doing what
they can to make the visitors feel at home when
they arrive", but they cannot contact them all,
it is left up to the individual to extend to "the
stranger within our gates the glad hand.''
The advertising committee is doing the best
they can to interest people from afar to come
here, but the best advert iseing that can be giv
en Waynesville is a cordial welcome to visitors
after it hey arrive.
After summing the whole situation up, we
believe that this section is headed for the best
season in years.

"From one end of North Carolina to the other,
there is more politeness, more courtesy, more
thoughtful consideration and more affability
being displayed than probably ever before in
history," savs The State. '
And, as a result of all this sunshine, it is
apparent to The State that the glum taxpayer
is beginning to unburden himself of woe and
to smile, too, responding to the glow of so many
admiring, considerate candidates. "God bless
the politicians!" cries the benign State, begin

no reason why they shouldn't be blessed. Like
Pollyanna, Alice in Wonderlad and Dr. Wirt,
they make a his little old world a better place
to live in."
And so you do, little politicians, from con
stable to senator-you do bring some needful
cheer, and humor along with your lusty self-
interest. And to be sure, not all of you are
mere politicians. We know of many who are
