During April, Ohio slipped down to fifth place, while Illinois jumped into third and Michi gan filled fourth place and New York went in for the sixth place. ' Our interpretation of this, would indicate that the Park is becoming known farther away, and in the thickly populated centers of the na tion, the word is just getting there of the won ders of the Smokies. Another encouraging sign for this side of the Park is that there are more "foreign" cars counted at the Smokemont entrance than at either of the others. , The mere fact that almost 43,000 people entered the Park during April is proof enough that its popularity is increasing, 1 THE OLD HOME TOWN --"- By STANLEY ' r : 1 .. .,...- . .. .m OUR TWAW HAS A MASAJETIXEO 1 . 1 AVC AMfS o & ft THE METHODIST VS. LIQUOR The three branches of the Methodist Church meeting out in Kansas City the past week in united session now forming the largest Protes tant religious body in the country, ran into a snag when an attempt was made to relax the rules affecting the use of alcohol. As a result the lines were drawn closer, for the united congregation that had previously fceen the case in some branches of the newly united group. The delegates adopted a proposed section of the church discipline providing that any member "who persists in using, buying or sell ing intoxicating liquors," shall be brought to i trial, "with expulsion the penalty on conviction." The Rev. George Fowler, of Chicago, asked the conference to temper the final step and make trials of members discretionary, arguing that he would like to give full time to fighting the liquor traffic and not to any one victim of the traffic. But the suggestion was voted down, after a minister from Baltimore argued that if the church, by even a change in a comma, let it be shown to the world that it was letting up in its opposition to the liquor traffic, it would be mis--understood. So the liquor section of the new discipline of the church leaves no doubt in the minds of its members as to its views on alcohol. The section relative to this question was adopted verbatim from the discipline of the Methodist Church of the North, as heretofore the Southern branch of the church did not make trial manda tory for a member "using" liquor. TO WORK FOR PEACE "I think the only way to have peace is to talk peace," said Alfred M. Landon, former Republican nominee for President in a recent speech, which is one of the best antidotes we have heard for the present war filled atmosphere of the world in general. ' He does not like the assumption that a con ference of interested nations would necessarily end in defeat of its puipose. He claims that, "The love cf and instinct for liberty ; the dreams that man has always had of a better interna tional order and a reign of peace under God, are stronger than hatred, and stronger than periodic struggle for power." He takes the point that the greatest use fulness of the United States as a member of the conference and of President Roosevelt as a mediator will be served by preserving as great a degree of impartiality and disinterestedness as may be, rather than entering the consulta tions already on the side of one contending group of nations. In other words, Mr. Landon feels that peace is something worth working for, and that every effort should be placed on the situation from this angle, rather than spend half hearted energy working for peace, and on the side get ready for war, for with great concerted en deavor, he thinks that peace can be preserved. .

SAM COX SOME GUNS, LIKE SOME RULES, WORK BOTH AVAYS Story 36 PREPARING TO BOIL -. :.- the counl-y are signs and prepa rations for the great political campaign of 1940. "Kindling" is being gathered in cities and ham lets over the lrition, and i;v i.ia.iy case.; the fires have already oeut lighted ftr inc boil.ng of tha: political pat, which if indications are prophetic, will maintain a fast and iuiious heat at tne ap pointed hour. It is merely history repeating itself. No patty has held the reins of power as long as the Democrats have at this time without gathering critical momentum, that is reflected in the fol lowing elections. The Republican party was so overwhelming ly defeated after the "promised prosperity" of President liooyer, that its forces became de mobilized and scattered, but they have been bucking on the arms cf warfare, and falling back into line, and making pie out of all the Democratic mistakes, so the temporary party in power, will have to watch its step very care fully,: lest the Strength of the past eight years . be swept from under them. For some time now there has been criti cism and discontent in the ranks of the Demo cratic party, which is a dangerous element, for in the final count the election will be Demo crat against Republican, and the Democratic party will(have to win or lose on the issues of the Roosevelt administration. If the unhappy Democrats let the Republi cans win, them from former party affiliations, it will result in the election of a Republican president. Family rows are always spicy soup to "outsiders." So any way you look at the situation it ffers a picture of one glorious fight from be ginning to end. Each, side will have to start early to get their pots boiling, and be very care ful, as to the mixing of the ingredients thereof. About the same time the sawmill boiler sxploded near here last week, a similar acci dent took place in Columbus County, thus break ing records for such industrial mishaps, j TIME WILL TELL On May the first, the speed limit on the highways of North Carolina became 60 miles an hour, in compliance with an act passed by the recent Legislature. We have been rather surprised at the small amount of publicity the matter has had in the state. With traffic fatalities on the state high ways, totaling such deplorable numbers, we could not see the wisdom in such action, so in order to get a broader viewpoint from which to judge, we decided it might be advisable to get in touch with a member of the legislature, so we took the matter up with Senator Chester Cogburn, who brought out several points in defense of the new rtgulation. ; Mr. Cogburn stated that heretofore there had been no speed limit in the state, but by common understanding it had been generally recognized that 45 miles was the limit. He explained that the passage of the law was in an effort to maintain greater safotv on the highways, and that if the limit had been louy the public would not have regarded it with respect, and the officers would have been inclined to laxness in their enforcement, and thai tiie members of the legislature felt' that to make a high limit, would be more conductive in bringing about a stricter traffic enforcement than a low speed. Another reason for the 60 miles limit, ac cording to Mr. Cogburn, was that it was an at tempt to bring about a uniform traffic system, that would conform to our neighboring states,' most of which have regulations around 60 mile limits. As he pointed out the traffic of the : ccuntry is becoming so heavy, that all states are making an effort to have a uniform law, so that in traveling from one state to another, the drivers will not be so apt to break regula tions, and in the end the network of U. S. high ways will be safer. ' Mr. Cogburn also stated that, as in the case cf North Carolina, there are still a number of states, that do not have laws regarding speed limits, but that the sentiment is growing over the country to have uniform laws. On first thought, to us, the 60 miles seemed a cordial invitation to disaster on the highways, but as we have not studied the matter as the solons in Raleigh, maybe they know best. At any rate the new law is not only a chal lenge 10 tne driver of a motor, but to the officer whose responsibility it will be to check the am bitious motorist, who throws discretion to the winds in his desire to make a record. We will await the totaling of accidents on the highways of North Carolina for the ensuing year under the new 60 mile limit, before we are entirely convinced that the new law is an im provement toward greater safety. "We've got his gun; We'll have some fun, And see him run: Before we're done." That's the song all the Creek Folks were singing the next day after thev had such a good time eating Mr. Man's turkeys. Jocko Monkey was the only one of them that could shoot the gun, and so he had to kill all the rabbits for the neighborhood. It was lots easier to shoot a rabbit than it was to run him down and catch him. But Blackie said it wouldn't be safe to shoot the gun close enough to Mr. Man's house for him to hear it, and so they had to go a long way up the creek, even the other side of the old ETOat hoilsp, hpfm'P fYtatr thought they were far enough from Mr. Man's house for him not to hear it. It looked as if everybody on the creek wanted to go along to see Jocko shoot the gun. Even Who Who Owl, who always sleeps in the day time, was going with them. Who-Who is a pretty wise bird, and he asked Blackie if he ever seen a gun kick. Blackie said he didn't know whether or not a gun could kick, but if anybody wanted to know whether a donkey could kick he could tell them. Of course this made Billie Possum grin, for he had donkey kick. They hadn't gone far past the old goat house when Blackie reared oh his hind feet and -said:' "Listen!' T am sure I heard a goose. I'll bet some of Uncle Joe's eeese are swimmino- down the creek. Fly ahead, Jay Bird, and come back and tell us what you see. In a few minutes Jay Bird came back and told Blackie that about a dozen geese were in the creek swim ming, and were just around the bend. So they all crawled along right easy till they got in sight of the geese. Then Who-Who Owl sooke ui) a en in and said, "Jocko, that E-un is mie-htv heavy, and it's loaded for bear, so, of thui L, H.

CANADA'S AXTHdI UUAWA.-Tlu. XatiMi not recognized by anv !iJ for fear it should kick as I have seen a "question of guns do, you had better rest it on Blackie's back. Then have Dr. I ,onn and Billie Possum stand behind you to hold you up if the gun should kick." So Jocko put the gun across Blackip'a back, and Billie Possum and Dr. Coon stood close behind him so as to catch him if the gun should kick. tilackie stood right still while Jocko got a good aim at the geese and nred both barrels. "Pow-pow!" If anybody should asked Jocko Monkey, Dr. Coon or Billie Possum whether a gun can kick, he would hear all three of them scream "Yes." That, o-nn certainly did kick, and all three of them rolled over each other just like the somersault fellows you see roll ing over in a circus. It was the only thing that ever hannened that r1iWt make Millie Possum grin, but he cer tainly counldn't find anything in that Dump to laugh about. When he pick ed himself ud. and was nhlp ,oii. he said, that he always thought a gun couian t shoot but one wav. Then Who-Who Owl sairl- "iVpii "' a rule they do, but this is one of those rules that works both ways. Besidps you know -Mr. Man had that gun loaded to kill Rlapkiplnoj - - ivuucu 1U1 bear as he savs anH ita -r, it kicked." That brought the grin back to Billie Possum's face, and everyooay had a good laugh. COnvpntinn 1 torn, ..according to a replvi me uovernnu'iit in the Hoi mons. T. L.
