He seemed too harmless, too cute, to be thus cruelly sent out of earth ; so was the firs: reaction of the onlooker, uninformed as to the devastating habits of these odd denizens of the forests. Tha viewpoint c'hanged when the fhcts were learned. Porcupines have a special fond ness for any wood that human hands have touched. Their food is wood pulp, which they make by chewing wood with their sharp teeth. Their ability to destroy is almost incalculable. The woodsman's axe handles, the boatsman's oars, t!he parts of houses which people have touched, in short, anything that has value to people is their choicest morsel of food. In a brief period they can destroy structures that have cost time, labor, and money. They are the bane of men who make their living by work ing in the forests, and of persons who live there the year round, or sojourn there during th? summer. Men who shudder at the thought of killing any other creature of the woods deli berately go out of their way to kill a porcupine. N. So what at first seemed a ruthless act of cruelty was really a means of protection. It was a look into the future for the baby porcu pine would be grown up, a menace to valuable property, by another year. Besides, there is no known way of changing this destructive habit; it is inherent in his nature, a character istic of his ancestry, from which he cannot de part. So we have learned not to judge what people do until we know why they did it. Often motives of which we are not aware justify deeds that at the time are shocking to us. Young Folks. SCHOOLS CHEAPER THAN JAILS Tax payers -have a right to take their choice between paying $.'300 .a year to keep a boy in jail or .$90 to keep him in .school It's peculiar t.':iat with these statistics- of comparison Hashing themselves into the faces of people, they still insist, some of them, that they are being bled to death to support public education, but never a chirp comes from them as to the cost they are being made to bear be cause of crime among these young people. And it is the young people, unhappily, among whom crime is the most prevalent. The United States department of .justica reports that two-thirds of all arrests in this country involve persons between the ages of 15 and 21. The age of greatest peril seems to be. 19 years. The schools that are properly supported and efficiently conducted are the best antidotes to crime that have been secularly created and far cheaper to support than the jails running to Latch the delinquents Charlotte Observer. What do you remember about the Hay-, wood County Fairs of the years past? There are many pleasant memories of those days, and this paper is making an effort to revive some of them for next week's paper, and we ask that you please help us. If you have a picture, or some relic of the Fair of the years gone by, we will appreciate your calling it to our attention. WHAT ABOUT THE BRAKES? The new patrolmen are hauling a number of citizens to court who have never darkened a courtroom door before. Of course, the ma jority of the cases are of minor importance, such as driving with one light, tail light not burning and the such. There is one thing we would like to see en forced more than has been heretofore, and that is the requirement of proper brakes. There are entirely too many cars without adequate brakes that are being used daily on the highways. We can see where a light bulb can burn out without the driver's knowledge, but worn out brakes don's get bad within the twinkling of an eye. While we fear meeting a car with only one light burning, we do have some warning of it in advance, but there is no way of telling when the brakes on an approaching or passing car are not sufficient to hold. Perhaps we're not familiar enough with the law, but it seems a little more "bearing down" on drivers with bad brakes would ac complish as mudh as any other one thing at present. THE GREAT BOOK The New York Times has called attention to the fact that the fourth day of October is the birthday of the Great Book the Bible. It was on October 4, 1535, that the final sheets cf the first printed English Bible came from the press, making the date mentioned above, this year, the four-hundredth birthday of the greatest of all books the Bible. The Times says: "The Pilgrims brought out of England the Bible when the King James version was only nine years old. Knowing this book of books, they were not uneducated. It was Webster's speech at Bunker Hill which reminded their descendants that it 'teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dig nity with his fellow men lessons never more needed than today." Sampson Independent. WIDOWS OF 2065 A. D. It doesn't take long to raise an army but it does take a long time to pay them off. If the law cf averages hold out Uncle Sam will still be paying pensions to Civil War veterans until 1955 and to their widows until at least 1980. While there are now less than 50 actual pen sioners of the World War (not counting those receiving compensation) either pensions or com pensation will likely continue to be paid these veterans until 2025, and to their widows and dependents until around 2065. According to the records of the Veterans' Administration the last Revolutionary veteran died in 1869 (the last widow in 1906;) the last survivor of the war of 1812, in 1905; and the last soldier of the Mexican War in 1929. But at the beginning of 1935 there were 15,637 Civil War veterans, and 106,901 of their widows and dependents on the pension rolls as well as five widows or de pendents of the War of 1812.

FARM Xo. not so a,s you can notice it. . To be sure,, about . four rr five years asa whei factories were shut down everywhere there was a . noticeable back-to-the-farm movement.' But that was a. forced movement, and some of the very ones that went out as ijeniint farmer.1- have since then gone back to the factories. '., The most noticeable improvements to be seen in the rural sections of Haywood County are in those sec tions near manufacturing towns. For example, em ployees of the Champion Fibre Company have con tributed very much to the growth and development of the suburban population around ' Canton, even for several miles out as far as Clyde, Thickety and Wood fow. And the same is true as regards the country-' around Hazelwood, that is, in the Aliens Creek, riotts Greek and Brendle Creek sections, though not to so great an extent as around Canton. .This, together with several new residences that have gone up in Ivy Hill township accounts for most, of the development and increase in population in this county outside of the towns in recent years. Cataloochee has lost in population, and Jonathan's Creek, Iron Duff, White Oak, Fines Creek, Crabtree and East Fork town ships have just about held their own. No, with all the improved methods In farming. modern lighting systems for farm houses, good roads and high schools, there has not been as yet in thl3 county any noticeable back-to-the-farm movement. ft.

Two-Minute Sermon By Thomas Hast well CIVILIZED SOCIETY MUST SPEAK OUT: Italy threatens a war cf aggression waged merely for the acquisition of territory which threat ens jn its implications to involve the entire civilized world. The League of Nations, the only constituted power fcr the discouragement and dissua sion of unfriendly powers from war appears helpless to avert the ap proaching catastrophie. It is general ly conceded by thinkers everywhere that owing to the close relationship cf interests jn the world today that the war, insignificant in itself, may easily eventually result in the entire world being drawn into the conflict. Each day for weeks and months past the press dispatches have stated that every resource has been exhausted and that the prevention of war is now 24 Years Ag( in HAYWOOD I T?mn l. CI. . - , Mr. A . E.

The, young Waynesville mother society leader would have a nervous break down (??) if she knew that the nurse had her small daughter in the "slums" last week. The child, cry ing, and begging to go, was given a niece of candv which had been drop ped in the sand to keep quiet until the nurse finished her visit. A man walking down the street, carrying a sack of dried peas, stops to chat with another, explaining that he was paid off in peas for some work He was all smiles, and why shouldn't he have been what's better than peaa and rice in the winter? In New York the other day, a man threw acid in his wife's face, in order that she would be made ugly and no one else would want to marry her now you tell what that man is, words fail me. A poor, ragged, man entered a cafe, called for the manager, and explained that he had been without work for months, and was hungry and without funds with which to buy a meal. The cafe owner's heart strings were pull ed, so he prepared him a "charity Plate." As the man-of-the-road was taking the last bite, he pulled from his shirt pocket, a package of cigar ettes and out fell a twenty-dollar bill, right in front of the cafe owner, eyes met, The harrassed stranger stammered that he was saving the twenty to take to his sick mother in Texas, The cafe owner doubted the yarn, and took the twenty and gave the man $19,155 in change,, and bid him a hasty farewell. : The cafe owner later in the day made a deposit at the bank, but for twenty dollars less than he had ex pected the stranger's S20-ct!l was counterfeit, has again come to the cross roads he legardiess of the pronouncement of the League of Nations whether or not the world will be plunged into an other War, whether or not Italy can set an aggressors foot in Ethiopia. It is civ'.ization that must pay for this w:"r and it is civilization's right to say whether or not it can go on. And in view of its devastating possibil ities civilizaton has but one answer but one verdict. The war must be stopped. It is folly to say or think otherwise. The time has come when civilized society must preserve peace even though it is necessary to resort ta arms to do it. This war if it is fought will be an indictment against civilized society, not Italy. The time has come when outlawry must be put down among nations the same as it is put down in communities by the su perior force of popular demand. ng this wtel i IN THE DAYS OF THE PONY EX PRESS An intensely interesting story of pioneer days when daring men gallop ed over the prairie routes, defied In dians and robbers to bring "the mails through."
