PPESS ASSOCIATION j THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1926 MUD SLINGING A(JAIN Last week The Jackson County Journal burst forth with accusations that "selfish men in Waynesville and AsheviHu' were peeved be cause Congress lid not approve a bill which pro vided for trailing lands in the Park for land down Soto Creek for the Parkway. For several years, readers of The Journal were lod to believe that if Highway No. 10G was completed that Sylva would have an open road to the world at large, and nothing else would matter. I In t now, when a road that should lenefif Sylva as much as Waynesville is contemplated. The Journal renews their "road rampanting ay.ain." The Journal's latest editorial on the mat t or reads as follows : "The Aslieviile Citizen is terribly put out because, in the rush of the closing hours of Congress, or for some .other reason, the bill to provid'! for trading lands of I he Croat Sm:.' Mountains National Park to the Kastern Hand )f Cherokces for some of their' holdings, failed of passage before adjournment'.- "The Citizen is peevi'd about it; and gave vent to its feelings. We don't know whether or not tiie remarks of The Citizen wi re directed toward Representative Weaver. If .they were, they wjiv ill-timed. We hold no brief for Mr. Weaver, but cannot refrain from pointing out the facts, for '.his '' defense, if indeed The Citizen feels that the Congressman is responsible for its peeve. ''The' whole scheme was a last resort meas ure in ail. attempt to construct the Parkway down Soto (.'reek from Soco .Cap. The Indians don't want it there, and have said in no unmis takable words, on two., different 'occasions' and through their properly ;constituted authorities "There is no good reason why the Parkwav should approach and reach t he Park,, along the crest of: tiie mighty Iialsams, and then leave the Park, as it dips down into an ordinary val ley. To do so would serve no purpose except that of certain selfish interests in Western North Carolina. "There is no reason why Mr. Weaver, or any other member of Congress should take up the light for those interests, when in doing so he would be performing no public service, and would absolutely infuriate a large number of his constituents who.e businesses and propirty would be irreparably injured, without benefit ing anybody. "At best the latest plan of selfish men in Asheville and Waynesville has a tortuous jour ney before it. The bill must first pass both houses of Congress, ch is probable. It must then obtain the consent of the General Assem bly of North Carolina,' which is less probable. Then the approval of the Tribal Council at Cherokee must be secured, which is remote; for well informed Cherokees say that the In dians will never be willing to surrender their Soco Valley at the behest of those who want a little shorter route from Ela to Asheville; and that the present Co.unc.il is unalterably set against the plan. They further state that no Council can be elected that is not of the same mind." A MILLION MILES WITHOUT A SCRATCH Motorists in preserving safety on the high ways can get a practical lesson from Owen Meredith, a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. T. L, Green. Mr. Meredith is a bus driver out in Enid, Oklahoma, and just recently found he had driven 1,042,500 miles without a mishap or even scratching a fender. This record proves that safety driving on the highways is-possible. We recently talked at length to a man who lives near a main highway, over which a lot of traffic passes. Hfe home is so located that he can get a good view of the cars for some dis tance. He remarked, that he often shuddered to think of the number of "fool drivers" that speed by his home. The law-makers of our state have placed on the law books a law setting out forty five miles an hour as the maximum speed on any state highway. When drivers step up to sixty and seventy miles an hour as many are doing now, it is a miracle that no more lives are lost on our highways than are. RESPECTING OPINIONS OF OTHERS Basing his actions on a petition that was circulated in the community several weeks ago, J. E. Massie, owner of The Park theatre will have the first Sunday movies on this coming Sunday. Where the subject is discussed there are some who do not favor Sunday movies, whi'..? there are others who see no harm in attending a show on Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening after church service hours. This newspaper has always tried to look on all matters in a fair way, and at least be broad-minded on all such matters. Because of that policy, we feel it best to respect the pin ions of all on this one subject. There are some who will argue until they are blue in the face on such subjects as Sunday movies. Nothing was ever more foolish. Argu ment never convinced anyone. We are open minded on this question, and shall respect the opinions of others at all times. We would not for a moment even suggest that our readers follow our example. This :s just our idea of getting along happily with our fellow citizens. A BIG THING FOR THIS SECTION Already several nationally known publica tions have carried news articles about the North Carolina Press Association meeting in Waynes ville on July !), 10 and 1.1th. Every one of the articles have linked Waynesville with the (ireat Smoky Mountains National Park. The news this week that Mr. Arno ii. Cammerer, director of national parks, of the de partment of Interior, will be the speaker here on the evening of July 0th, gives some indica tion as to the high type of programs that are staged by the Press Association. of North Caro lina. As this is being written, th'ro are two famous speakers, "known, t he country over, that are being sought as the speaker at Friday's session. This en! ire area will richly benefit from the meeting: of the; Press here, and it is our duty to see that we put on our best appearance and behavior whiie they are our guests. I.iTTLK INTEREST IN SECOND PRIMARY On June fill), S.Old Haywood voters cast votes for the four candidates for governor. That was June tit ii . On July 1th. wh-n the second primary will be held, it is our belief that about 1,000 votes will be cast in Haywood. The absence of a race among local candi dates, and the general dislike for second pri maries in Haywood County are the facts on which we base our estimate. Not only do the facts above almost assure a small vote, but Mr. lloey got ?,,2(j$ votes in Haywood to Dr. McDonald's 1,738. Supporters for both candidates in this county are taking things easy at present, prob ably waiting for a grand last minute rush. How ever, to get out much of a vote, it is going to take money, and plenty of it. And since the first primary results showed this to be a strong Hoey county, we do not look for either candi date to spend much, if anything here. As for the other two state races, they are hardly mentioned. CHANGE OR ABOLISH The next legislature should either change the present Primary Laws, so that the candi date receiving the highest vote be the nominee, or else abolish the blooming thing altogether and return to the convention method of se lecting candidates. It is clearly shown that ,the primary system engenders bad feeling in Demo cratic ranks. Second primaries are expensive, and it keeps the people in a turmoil to have a second primary to find out which the first one did not accomplish. Another thing, the ab us 3, of criticism, that Democrats flung at each other furnishes the common enemy in the November election political ammunition to defeat the ends for which Democrats strive. I hope we'll have no more primaries likv the one we have just gone through, and what we will have to go through again. Change the law or abolish the primary ! "The Old Hurrygraph." I Jfo Ih niiwle up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little thlnrs, which Hinlles and kindness and xtiiaU obligations, given Itabltually, are what win and preserve tile heart and secure comfort.

Rvers brineino- smiles to the faces of staunch Democrats with his story about the negro woman whu recently graduated from a WPA night school. This old neuro woman .expressed her appreciation to fcvll the teachers, and others who had made it possible for her tr learn to read "the letters in the book." She was thankful that she could read anil write. When handed her -certificate she rose and in a shrill voice shouted: "Praise de I,orl, (Jlory hallelujah, and God bles.s Mr. Roosevelt." Of course the average Republican doesn't smile at that . story". John Slmok, the ()ld '-.stand-by Re publican at Clyde, argued it out with W. T. Denton and V. L. l.aiiipkin at the dinner table last Saturday, that he had the only right to claim the title of being the best Republican in Hay-, wood county. After the argument, he was given the privilege by the other two to claim the title. It so happens that Mr, Shook has been a regular reader of the Yelhiw Jaity.et for many years, while the other two hail let it pass by, and Mr, Shook argued that the fact that he had read the Yellow Jacket for many years well qualified him for the titl. Perhaps it is me, but it 'seems that there has been a big let-down in po litical discussions during the -past few weeks. After the Republicans nominated London, and Knox, it seems that people just furgot political af fairs, even with a second primary on the Fourth. Those who are always ready ami anxious to discuss, politics dwm to shun the subjevt now.' Maybe it is because most of the Haywood voters worked themselves up so before the first primary on June sixth. Instead of discussing the latest in political affairs,: the weather seems to be taking mast of the idle time. : And speaking of the weather, those who are supposed to know advise against trying to do deep thinking during hot weather, or wearing tight clothing, over eating, over exercise and over work. Since hearing Dr. Julian Penning ton at the Rotary Club last Friday explain that every person has a dual personality, and that features of the fact indicated character or traits, it has gotten some folks in town, includ ing myself, gazing at every person trying to pick out some feature of the face which we "can read." About the only one I remember is that a long sharp nose means that the person is always sticking: their nose in : other people's business. One of the most important things, reading a person's face, is to look at it squarely from the front, so if you see some folks dodging around to get a good look at your face, you might know they are trying to see a certain feature. And I almost forgot, a ring on the side of the nose means that a person likes to argue. For two days I've been trying to decide whether or not I have a ring on my nose, but have given up in utter disgust, be cause all I find at present is a ring of sweat. REPRESENTATIVE ZIONCHECK GOES HOME Representative Marion Zion'check, of Washington State, who has been held in a hospital for several weeks for mental observation, has gone back to hi8 home in Seattle, Washington, to prove his sanity and redeem him self. He was sent to the hospital after be had thrown clothes, furniture and other articles from a hotel win dow, had driven his car through red lights and congested traffic and up the wrong side of the street at high speed, had presented the President with two empty beer bottles and pulled several other escapades. LIKES THE MOUNTAINEER Mr. W. C. Russ, Waynesville, N. C. I've iust been reading this week's issue of the Mountaineer and I'm moved t0 write and tell you what a good job I think you're doing with your paper. I've only been reading it for three years, but in that time the change has been remarkable, and every change hafi been an im provement. Congratulations; and the town and county should be proud of the Mountaineer. Give my regards to Mrs, Gwyn, Uncle Abe and the whole force. I may see you in a couple of weeks plan ning to take some young people up to the assembly at the Lake. Sincerely, PAUL HARDIN, Jr. Wadesboro, N. C. Kditor The Mountaineer. Dear Sir: It is suggested that hotels, tourist information bureaus, boarding houses and gasoline stations cut out each week the church directory which this paper is so kind to publish each week, and place ready for reference. This would be an added convenience to our visitors. REV. HOWARD V. LANE, Pastor of Saint John's 'Catholic Church. . 23 Years Ad0 in Haywood (From the files of Ja!... .
