A WORKING GRAND JURY
The Haywood Grand Jury Was' praised in
no uncertain terms Saturday by Judge Felix E.
Allev, alter their report bad been read to the
court.
The Grand Jury "was exceedingly diligent
m investigating crime," they were told by the
court.
01 course, there is much that the grand
jury did which has not been made public, but
it stands to reason that the recommendations
made by them are well worth while.
There is one particular item which we feel
has been neglected long enough, and that is
putting the name on the court house.
While in many parts of the state there has
been an increasing sentiment against the grand
jury system, but evidently there was a need of
one in Haywood this term of court, as they
worked until Saturday noon, and as one member
expressed it: "I felt like I was on a vacation
when I went back to my regular job Saturday
afternoon. It was the hardest work I ever remember."
HE FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
A. few. weeks ago a new store was opened
here with the intention of remaining open all
summer, but the management neglected to in
form the buying public that he was in business.
He took for granted that customers would
find his place and be eager to buv.
His assumption was all wrong.
People buy where they know their wants
can be met, and there are very few that spend
time trying to find these places they expect,
the merchant to inform them of what he has.
The buying public has also learned to expect
this information in the form of newspaper ad
vertisements.: The man who came here and opened for
business expected to get customers via the
word of mouth" system. But didn't. He has
closed, and gone.
Others have opened sim.lar places of busi
ness advertised, and ARE doing business.
. CIVILIZE THE DRIVER
Science and industry have done their part
in producing the automobile. Paul de Kruif,
m a recent magazine article, declares that
"hardly fifteen per cent of all accidents can be
laid to automobile defects." The culprit is the
driver. Collectively, he has not yet mastered
the new device, has not yet adjusted'his ner
vous organism to its demands, has not yet mast
ered the technique of making this invention a
part of his social routine with economy of hu
man wastage. He is, in short, not yet civilized.
But, to sum all, he lacks courtesy. The vital
core of courtesy is consideration for other peo
ple. Courtesy is a product of the fine sort of
imagination that instinctively pictures other
people desiring the treatment you would like to
have them do if the circumstances were revers
ed. Courtesy is not the cloak to be exhibited
upon occasion for admiration of friends; it is a
way-of-doing so regularly practiced that it best
may be described as a habit. Rotarian Maga

FAR-FETCHED IDEA
The Miami Daily News is quite upset with
the news that has drifted back to that city from
North Carolina (?) that the so-called "epi
demic" of infantile paralysis is nothing more
'han a publicity stunt pulled by Eastern North
Carolina against Western North Carolina for
alleged avenge resulting from the wet and dry
election in l(J:i'2.
As will be remembered, several Eastern
counties went into the wet column in 1932
while the west stuck solidly in the dry division.
For this, the Miami paper says, the East began
the propaganda in an effort "to get even."
The first that we had heard of the alleged
feud was in the Florida paper, and we believe
they have been misinformed. The citizens of
North Carolina are not made up of the type of
people that would resort to such tactics. It is
.rue that there was a difference of opinion dur
ing the 1932 election, but not enough to start
the damaging propaganda credited to them.
It would be just as reasonable for the press
of North Carolina to "assume" that the storms
which southern Florida is subject to in late
fall are due to the prayers of Floridians in and
around Jacksonville and Northern Florida, just
"to get even."
We fail to understand why such far-fetched
ideas as presented by the Miami paper nvi
even worthy of second thought, much less a
lengthly editorial.

POWER RATES ALMOST EQUAL IN
COUNTY
The Federal Power Commission just sent
out a report of a survey recently completed in
North Carolina of the present prevailing power
rates. In Haywood county, three of the incor
porated towns Canton, Clyde and Ilazelwood
are served by Carolina Power and Light Com
pany, while the town of Waynesville buys from
the same concern but resells the power. A com
parison of the rates shows that there is but
little difference.
Waynesville has a minimum charge of
$1.20, with 15 kilowatt hours included. The
other three towns have a minimum charge of
$1.00 with 10 kilowatt hours included
For .40 kilowatt hours Waynesville resi
dents are charged $2.95, while the other three
towns pay $3.00.
When it comes to lighting, small applianc
es and refrigeration rates, the other towns are
$1.00 cheaper on 150 kilowatt hours than Way
nesville $7.50 and $8.50.
The average charge per 500 kilowatt hours
in Waynesville is $3.45 as compared with $2.51
in the three other towns.
It is interesting to note the vast difference
in rates in many towns in the state, some hav
ing rates almost twice those existing in Haywood.

Cornfield Philosophy
TWO QI'KSTIOXS
Well do I rememhei- "that old ranse took stove
It stood in a corner of the kitchen down at mv old homr.'
.s..mc fony years !!:. There iviia ;i space behind tlv
old raiiKe that made a good winter-time warming place
for n small chap:; so into this corner the J-ounK Corn
field Philosopher would, offen ko after the evening
chores had been done to await supper perhaps, or to
warm a few minutes before the mid-day meal.' Xow
in that day. the price of a "J ome Comfort." ranne. was
considered -a 'pretty fair fortune, and as the old cook
stoc eoinmenceil to Kive awav in places. I had (lark
fereliodinus of the: day when it would be finally spent,
and a new .one'wuu'KI have to he -bought.
And about thai ;.:iiip another, and .more perplexirtr '
iiuestion took hold : o.' hiy mind, natii rally, ; graduaily
that of religion.. . Xaturally, I say, because in that day
people "took, their religion far more seriously than thee
do today. Such Iiible riuestions as the end of time the
judgment and separation of the righteous from, the
wicked and destruction of the latter bv lire and brim
stone were preached as being literally true back then
So the question of the end of time and that of the
final wearing out or end of that old cook stove were the
two most serious problems weighing -on' mv child mind;
and somehow I came to connect the two together that
is, I thought the end of time would be about when the
old range gave away. And why not. I reasoned; If we
could not afford to buy another cook stove,, if. would
probably be best for time to end then and there pro
vided we wej e all ready to die
Well, time went on. . .we. of course, managed to
buy another .cook stove, and the matter was dismissed
from my mind as being of little consequence after all
But the other question, that of religion: is one that
cannot be cast aside so lightly, although we live In a
day when It is no longer taken very seriously, not even
by those who preach it.

Time heals, time destroys and my how time
changes things! For an example of how changes are
continually being wrought all around us. look down on
Jonathan s Creek wheri the grading of highway No
284 is now In progress. The new survey, the second
within the past fifteen years, is not only straighter than
the old road, but it is about in the center of that fertile
valley, splitting it in halves. Farm houses that fronted
against the old highway will now be cut off a consider
able distance by the new road, and visa versa.
Another example of what changes have taken
Place in a short period of time is the did road leading
from the main highway on Jonathan's Creek via the
old Fowler place nd connecting at the Cass Leather
wood place.

THE GOOD SPORT-There is
something in all of us that impels
our admiration of what we term is
good vporumanship. We all like to
see a man who knows how to win, and
who i ;so., when fortune is against
him, knows how to lose. It is gen
erally conceded that he is a poor
uit who won't t'.kt hi.s own medi
cine. The person who persists in
p.'jy.njf the game of life his own' way,
who pays no attention to the sign
posts along the way, who Scorns the
ailvise and warning of wiser friends
and then when trouble inevitably
overtakes him comes crying on the
shoulder of those whose admonitions
he refused, is a poor sport. We see
them about us every aay. They tell
the world tha: they are living their
own me and playing the srames their
own way. They are squandering their
ume, tneir money, their youth with
the abandon of a prodigal. They are
indulging in habits and practices that
will eventually break down their
morale and dissipate their youth.
They are cultivating habits of idle
s intend of industry. They are
drifting instead of pulling against
he current.-' : Some day when they
r ive st the destination toward which
'h?v are definitely headed they will
wake up to their own mistake. They
will discover that they, instead of
their well intenticmed friends, are
wrong. At such a time they will
call for these same friends to come
to their rescue and loudly bewail their
lot instead of taking their medicine
as they should and would if they were
truly good sports.
