HAYWOOD RICH IN MINERALS Haywood County, North Carolina, in whicii is situated the beautiful little City of Waynes ville, has before it an important future in its mineral background. Near Canton, low grade copper is found. A very valuable vein of copper ore has been lo cated it is stated in Fines Creek Township. Cold ore has been discovered and although as yet never commercially developed, it is be lieved that on the slopes of Lickstone Bald the showing merits intelligent development. Near Waynesville the minerals of proven economic value are kaolin ; mica and feldspar. Kyanite occurs in Crabtree; mica is being mined near Lickstone and on the Big Ridge south of Hazelwood. . Near Woodrow, kaolin clay has been mined to a considerable extent and further deposits are known to exist near Hazelwood and Clyde. Added to its fame as a tourist and recre ational center; its other developed resources and industries, Waynesville has a right to look forward into the future with the greatest con fidence based on the new interest in the mining industry and will surely take its place as an ac cepted mining district jof importance as its mining resources are gradually developed on the basis their merit justifies.

We tell others no; ; , v.vrry, that everything will come out all right bu t we seldom take our own ad vice. The ".; of the matter is. there are only: two reasuns for worry. Your health is either good or you are sick. If your health is good there, is noth;r.g to worry about.. If you are: viek there are two things to worry about you are either going to get well or you are going to die.. If you are going to get well there is noth ing to worry about. If you are going to die there are only two things to worry about you are either going to heaven or you are not going there. If you are going to heaven there is nothing to worry about. If you are going to the other place you'll be so busy shacking hands with your old friends you won't have time to worry. So why worry? Reidsville Review. Within two weeks, two new Western North Carolina newspapers have made their 'appear ance. The Daily News, an Asheville tabloid, and The Graham County News, Robbinsville. The first copies of both papers were impressive, and indicate that: they will serve their com munity to every advantage. The fact that eighteen cases, mostly for drunkenness, were tried by one magistrate here the Monday after the fair, seems like a great number, although it speaks well for the officers, so the report can be taged a's either good or bad. WHEN THE CROPS ARE GATHERED IN! James Edward Hungerford In Progressive Farmer Country life is full o pleasure, and sometimes it has its woes; Ev'ry farmer has his troubles just as ev'ry farmer knows; There are days chock-full o' sunshine, when the world is good to see, An' dark days when Nature's Storehouse seems chock-full o' deviltry! There are times a fellow feels like he could strut around an' smile. An' then times when life seems full o' things to agravate an' rile! Oh, a farmer has his worries, an' sometimes they wear him thin, But he gets his compensation When The Crops Are Gathertd In! Yes, his days are sometimes burdened with their cares an' wears an' frets. An' he surely is deserving all the good things that he gets! There art times when too much dryness withers up the growing grain, Or he's filled with depression on account of too much rain; There are weeds an' worms an' insects that ha always has to fight; There are frosts that come unlooked for, an' play havoc over night; Yes, he has tribulations, an' he has to work like sin But he gets his compensation When The Crops Are Gathered In ! Then's the time he's feeling happy, with a heart full o' content! Then's the time that he's forgetting all the weary days he's spent, When he reaps the golden harvest an' it's safely stored away; When his bins are full to bursting, an' his mows are full o' hay; When his cellar's full o' good things, an' his grain-house full o' grain, Then he knows his days o' labor have been far from spent in vain! Then's the time he feels like strutting, with his face wreathed in a grin, For his woes are all forgotten When The Crops Are Gathered In! Random SIDE GLANCES By W. CURTIS RUSS The rains over the week-end did much to sliminate the dangers of forest fires. The woods were completely dried out after about six rainless weeks. It is times like this that ex treme care should be taken to guard against fire, and thus far, as far as we can learn, people have co-operated in protecting one of the coun ty's biggest assets the forests. Contractors are making progress on the road from Asheville via Enka towards Canton, and the announcement that a new bridge will be built over the railroad at Enka will be wel comed news for this entire section. One no ticeable thing, is that the new road will not only be wider, but much straighter. Cornfield Philosophy TOl.KK ANCi:. Will Hi: AItT TIIOl? "(joimr t" church, are hi'.r asked, a little tirl, .

Kank church intolerance like that ig dnpsterous ninninft rampant in the community. Do you not think so? The late Phillips Brooks said that we should be more afraid of the littleness than of the largeness- 1st ' life. Now, it Is not necessary to ro into the littlenesi of all this contention and argument about certain church piaotices and beliefs. If you want to be a "whole-soled, four square, dyed-in-the-wool' Baptist. 'Methodist. Presbyterian, Mudhead. Holy Roller or What' Not . why, you can be it without having to snub, insult or hurt the feolinps of your neighbor or neighbor's child. To be loyal is all that is required, or should be re quired, of anyone; loyalty doen not imply hatred, jeal ousy and bifrotry. And let us remember, also, that from childhood on through life there are many qualities, duties and responsibilities that we are called upon to exercise be fore that of loyalty to the doctrines of a certain church: Christianity, love, truth, obedience, honesty, -neighbor-' liness. Rood citizenship, etc. The Cornfield Philosopher does not claim to be consistent In all things; but I so loathe, abhor and detest this thinpr of church intolerance that I know I'm consistent along the line of church membership I have always let my children attend Sunday School and church wherever they wanted to attend; and further more have told them to Join what ever church thev desired to join if different from my church okey' It has been a long time since I've heard of a man having harder luck than did T. L. Gwyn last week. To begin with, he ate a bar-b-cue sandwich which made him sick. Jast as he was getting better from that, news came in that two of his choice cows had died that same noon. That seemed to be enough bad luck for any man for a week, but that evening as he was resting at home, he heard a crash out in front of his home, and upon looking saw where a careless driver had come all the way across the street to side swipe hi new car, doing about 5o0 or $60 damage. Now in that instance, Vhafe-ovas one more day of genuine hard luck. At some time or other, it seems that every columnist on this paper has resorted to poetry especially Uncle Abe. I found the following piece the other day that more or less impressed me: Mary had a littie cold, but wouldn't stay at home, And everywhere -that Mary weilt, that cc-ld was sure to roam; It wandered into Molly's eyes and tilled them full of tears. It jumped from there to Bobby's nose, and thence to Jimmies ears. It (minted Anna's throat bright red and swelled poor Jennie's head, Dora had a fever, and a cough put Jack to bed. The moral of this little tale is very uuickly said . She could have saved a lot cf pain with just one day in bed! I wasn't as foolish as Mary I've stayed at home yes, for over a week not only with a cold, but with almost as many ailments as Uncle Abe numerates semi-monthly. In fact, I've caught up with Mr. Gwyn in the number of hard luck breaks, It wasn't a cold I had it was "flu" according to two doctors. That was bad enough. But that was only about a third of the trouble the second being an infected foot, and certainly "ilu" and a paining infected foot was sufficient, to say nothing of the case of pois'c-n- oak. Two-Minute Sermon By Thomas Hast well Wonder how Mr. Gwyn would swap? 'Course, I know, it isn't nice to talk just about one's self, but what else is there to talk about when in bed, with one foot "hoisted" high above your head, and pills to the right of you, and gargles to the left of you, anil pains "all around?" The only enjoyment I've had dur ing the "ordeal" is .that for four days I refused to shave. If I were a poet, or even thought I were one, like some of these folks who aren't, I'd pick the fall of the year to write about instead of the "Flowers ' that bloom in the spring, .

The other day I received a letter from a young man who had gone to distant city to seek employment. His letter was in answer to one I had written him in which I advised him to complete his education before he took up perma nent employment. His reply was that he had no money for an educa tion, "for as you know," he said, "my father, when he died, left me noth' ing..' For years I had known the fam ily well and knew his father, who had died recently. He was one of those men the like of which the world will never have enough: honorable in all his dealings, upright, temperate, industrious. A man of high ideals, strick integrity, a man without hy pocricy, kindly, considerate, chari table. With these things in mind I wrote the young man and told him that in my opinion his father had left him a great fortune. I called atten tion to the fact that his father had left him a sound body, a keen mind. clean blood and a steady nerve. He had left him a heritage of honesty and industry and sobriety, an appre ciation of the real values of life, a hatred of sham and hypocricy and dishonesty and meannes5 and little ness, a high regard for the true and honorable and upright. With such a heritage, I told him, any young man with the right stuff in him could suc ceed in securing an education or any- tning else he wanted. With such a heritage the best in life was his for the asking. Without it all the money, all the stocks and all the bonds his father might have left him would be of no value in the making of a life. 24 Years Ag in HAYWOOD Marri arriages (As Recorded to Monday Noon of this Week) . .Harrold Norria to Margaret Mc Kinnish, both of Canton.
