AN UNHAPPY PEOPLE
In an interview last week, Clyde II. Ray,
Sr., made the statement that people are not as
bappy toib.y as they were 50 years ago.
Dees t'hat mean, as well as prove, that we
cuinot lie happy and progressive at the same
time?
A common laborer of today has more than
did the world's richest man 50 years ago.
Modern conveniences has reduced our daily
burdens t a minimum, ytt there is not that
n;.i pine-..-, of !V) years ago, we are told.
Take a'i average man of today. lie arises,
turns a switch, and a stoker fires his furnace.
The turn of another switch gives him a razor
wit lout the bother of lather or a dull blade.
The br.atl for t aM is sliced by the baker. A
twist of a can o;,enii' opens' his favorite juice.
FL'gs are i-repared on an electric plate. The
sight of a cow is a noveliy, as milk is left on
.'the front poich.
He gets in his ear, steps on the starter,
arid now in many cars, docs not even have to
. hi ft jear-,, and away he goes to his 4 1-hour
a week job.
It takes more than progress to make happi-irt-r-s.
One of the best ways to assure happiness
is friendship.
Today, we seem to be in too big a rush to
ir.vjKe friends.
VALUABLE LEAVES
Right now home-owners are burdened with
leaves, and usually the quickest method of dis
fro.al is used, forgetting that leaves are valu
able if allowed to decompose this winter and
ijvud in the garden or flower pot next spring.
One authority on gardening farming, has
-vd that leaves should be raked while wet, and
piled in an obscure corner of the garden and
left to decay. If raked up while dry, they should
V wet then covered with boards or brush to
ktq from blowing away.
The decaying process may be hastened by
n ixing 20 pounds of dry leaves, or about 40
pounds of wet, with one pound of a mixture of
five pounds of ammonium sulphate, four pounds
of ground limestone and and two pounds of su-l-rphophate.
Nitrate of soda may be used for
tN ammonium. This mixture will be decayed
ey.vugh to u-e next summer to fine advantage,
fertilizing the soil and keeping it open and moist
ir iry vveather.
One gardner recently pointed out that an
irr..-roi-ed box made of 5V crimp roofing has
k-. ;-: all t'.ie stray leaves, dahlia stalks and other
vitiation confined around his premises for
sieral years.
"This has providsd a preparation the garden
r:is. and one that is difficult to purchase.
AN APOLOGY
Without fear of contradiction, we feel that
ti.t- bigge-t single worry of a newspaper is that
ir getting names correct. Yet, working under
"r,r ssure" in order to get to press on time, it is
o"iy natural that mistakes creep into the news
c.lurnns at times, which always brings about
errit-arassment to both the newspaper and the
persons envolved.
Last week such an instance happened in
fhin- newspaper.
It was, like all mistakes, unintentional. But
it was made, and we now sincerely apologize to
both parties for the error, which was made on
the first pag2 of the second section, when we
said that Glenn Brown was chairman of the
Haywood County Democratic Executive Com
mittee. The chairman is Clifford E. Brown.
Clifford E. Brown is making a successful
chairman. He is working day and night at his
tas, sacrificing personal business for the sake
and cause of the party 5ie loves.
We are sorry the error wa3 made, and glad
ly ake this correction.
HAYWOOD'S INACCESSABLE MINERALS
Those interested in the mining reserva
tions in the lower end of Fines Creek town
ship, are hopeful that some of the $4,000,000
just allocated by WPA for secondary road im
provement in the state will be used to repair the
Wilkins Creek road so that machinery and sup
plies can be hauled the 7-mile distance to the
property.
The Mountaineer has been told that until
the road is repaired, no mining operations on
any scale can be done. It is our understanding
that that area is rich in mineral deposits, but
with present highway facilities it would be im
practical to begin operations.
There is no question but what at some time
mining will become active in Haywood County,
and add materially to the wealth of the county.
BETTER BEEF CATTLE FOR HAYWOOD
The recent record made by Haywood County
4-II Club members with their showing of baby
beeves at the Asheville Fat Stock Show and
later at the State Fair, coming off, at both, with
high honors should be encouraging not only to
the 4-H Club members, but also to their elders.
Way Abel made a profit of $141.37 on his calf
and his brother John realized a profit of $92.06.
Haywood County has long been noted for
its fine cattle. Much of the county's prosperity
and development has been the result of this
industry.
At cue time there were more cattle ship
ped from Clyde than from any other point on
the entire Southern Railway System. As many
as a thousand 'head have been loaded there, in
one day's shipment, on several occasions.
Unfortunately the depression and the low
price of cattle of recent years have so discour
aged the stock raisers of the county that our
beef herds have been allowed to depreciate both
in numbers and in quality.
A great many of the older generations who
helped make Haywood noted for its fine cattle
have passed on, Among these may be listed
VV. D. McCiacken, --'Ellis Howell, Joe and Fulton
Osborne, Riley Ferguson, D. I. L. Smathers, and
many others. B. P. Howell, who was at one
time one cf the leading Shorthorn breeders in
the state, is now residing in Virginia.
It is gratifying to see the younger genera
tion of 4-11 Club boys qualifying themselves to
again raise the standard of this important in
dustry, for which Haywood County is so ad
mirably adapted.
No more progressive work could be em
phasized on the agricultural program in Hay
wood County today, than to promote along con
servative lines, our farms with more and better
beef cattle.
EXTRACTION OF TAXES
Carolina Power & Light Company, along
with other utility corporations, are constantly
bringing before the public the story of our in
creasing tax bill which the consumers have
to pay.
Last week in state-wide publications, the
power company presented in an advertisement,
a statement showing that their 1937 tax bill
was almost $2,000,000, or an average of $1.80
per month for each consumer, in all classes.
For a long time the gasoline dealers have
had in vonspicuous places, signs calling atten
tion to the fact that they were unfair tax col
lectors, and that gasoline was not high, but that
the 7-ccnts-a-gallon tax on the product was.
But the best and most impressive method of
making the consumer realize that part of the
bill is for taxes, is used by Southern Bell Tele
phone. They have the tax in a separate column
from their service charges. In that way, they
throw the spotlight on the "hidden" tax.
While we sometimes realize that we are
paying a stiff tax on certain comodities, too of
ten we forget and think of the item as carry
ing an exhorbant profit. Perhaps if each ser
vice station would give us a little check show
ing the amount for gas and oil, and the amount
of taxes, that we would soon realize just what
heavy "'hidden" taxes we are paying.
Yet, on the other hand, with the federal,
government somewhere near seventy billions
in the red, we must face the facts that we along
with the other 130 millions Americans must
pay the bill with taxes. So after all, we find
ourselves almost into that frame of mind, that
a "sightless" extraction of taxes is perhaps the
less painful after all.
NEW C. OF C. PLAN 1
The new election method that is being used
by the Chamber of Commerce this week is
another step in the right direction for the or
' ganization. ; .
The plan will give the organization a more
representative board of directors, taking lead
ers from every line of business and profession.
Any person can vote by registering at the
office. Ballots have been mailed to all subscrib
ers, and the votes will be tabulated on next
Tuesday night.
It is our duty as citizens, to take enough
interest to cast a ballot.

Story 9.
"VVIIO-WIIO-VVIIO, who aic you"
"Who-who-vvho, who uif you?"
Iilackio raised his head up from his
pillow and listened. Was he dream-
in;;-':
" Whi)-who-vvho, who are you?"
"V ho-who-who, are you?" '
No, sir-ee, that wasr.'t any dreani;
it was sure enoug-h somebody in the
woods not far away, and that some
body was asking somebody else, "Who
are you .'" BlaeUie didn't move a
foot. He just lay there as still as a
mouse and listened. Once more he
heard that same voice say: ..
"Who-who-who, who are you?"
He didn't know anybody that talked
like that but Mr. Man, and if Mr.
Man had found out where he lived his
time to die had certainly come,
Blaekie was about the worst scared
bear you ever heard of, and he wish
ed he had brought Dr. Coon home with
him to spend the night, but he couldn't
do much thinking about anything, for
the voice kept coming nearer and
nearer, and now it seemed like it
was right in his house and shouting
at him:
"Who-who-who, who are you?"
The everything was as quiet as a
mouse for a minute, and Blaekie won
dered if Mr. Man was fixing to set
fire to his house. And then Blaekie
nearly had a fit, for he heard some
body else singing right up by his
window:
"Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whip
poorwill." Who was it that was going to get
a whipping?" Blaekie listened hard.
''Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whip
poorwill," somebody sang again.
Blaekie felt they were singing
"Whip Blaekie Bear."
"Whip Blaekie Bear."
"Whip Blaekie Bear."
And he stopped up his ears to keep
from hearing any more, but that didn't
help much, for down by the little win
dow right above his head somebody
sang out.
"Joe Reet, Joe Reet, Joe Reet."
Blaekie didn't know anybody named
Joe, except Uncle Joe, who shot at
him for trying to steal his rooster
that night, and he felt sure that his
Blaekie raised his head up and listened.

name must be Joe Reet, and that he
and Mr. Man had both got their guns
and had come to kill him. Then some
body else called out:
"Old Bob White!"
"Old Bob White!"
"Old Bob White!"
Who in the world was old Bob
White? Blaekie had never heard of
him, but he was sure that he was
another bad man if he was with Uncle
Joe and Mr. Man, and he didn't ex
pect to ever get out of his house
alive.
Blaekie lay there and thought over
all the bad things he had ever done,
and he wished he had been a better
bear, for he was sure he had to die
pretty soon. Then he heard some
thing outside that made him sit up
in his bed and listen again, for it
sounded mighty like Jay Bird's voice.
Then a whole lot of voices began to
sing together:
"Old Blaekie Bear, what are you doing
there ?
Get out of bed and comb your hair!
Bob White's here, and Jay Bird too,
And Whippoorwill isn't going to whip
; you.
Little Joe Reet hasn't got any gun,
And Who-Who Owl just 'whos' for
fun;
All of us folks from up in the trees
Just flew in here on a breeze,
And thought we'd sing you a little
song,
Ai d then We'd all be going along.
Then Blaekie knew his friends were

li irlAT ARE, DREAMS AND
WHY DO WE DREAM TKEM?
T REAMS are the means by which
Nature insures to us the rest
which we should otherwise lose did
we not dream. When the entire
brain is unconscious during sleep
we do not dream. But when a por
tion of it is awake and some force
from the conscious penetrates to it,
a dream is set into motion. For
instance, we are asleep in a ham
mock On a hot day. The sun creeps
oh us and the heat of it causes that
portion of our brain which is not
entirely asleep to start dreaming
that we are on a hot dry desert.
The glare of the sun becomes the
bright blinding glare of the desert.
Were the dream not set into motion,
the sun would awaken us.
