Thomas M. Seawell j
Thomas M. Seawell. former editor and ;
publisher of this newspaper died Friday, j
following an illness extending over a long !
teriod.
He was editor of The Mountaineer fro.it
1928 until the fall of 19.U. when he sold hi,
interest to the present owners. j
Dunne his editorship of this newspaper,
lie devoted much time and space to the de
velopment of progressive movements ;n this
area. He was particularly interested in the
Park, and a strong advocate of a better agri
cultural program for the county.
After selling his newspaper interests here,
he moved to Winder, (.la., and later returned
! inter another field of business.
He loved Western North Carolina, and
wherever he lived. ie served as a goodwill
ambassador of this section. For many years
lit held a perfect attendance at the weekly
Rotary meetings.
One of his ambitions in later years was to
u'.urn to this area and devote his time to
v.i.ti.ng about Western North Carolina. Ill
ness prevented him from fulfilling his de
Mios. He was an excellent writer, and his
pi:i w ould have been an. important factor in
helping publicize this area.

Another 'Representative' In Congress
Haywood county has another representa
tive in Congress while not actually on the
tlour. he is in a position to make daily con
tact with those who are members of the
United States Senate. We speak of W. G. OM'iccrs capture 40-gallon coppei
Pvt.,-- ,,-,.u u., , tt l . , ' i still outfit and 8' u- gallons of "mer-
LAei.-v well known Haywood man who has j chaiulw'''
recently assumed the position as assistant!
H'i eant-at-arms of the senate.
This newspaper has said before that this
county is "well represented" in the 81st Con
ures and with the addition of Mr. Byers in
daily contact With the lawmakers, we are
perhaps the best represented county in the
nation.
Richard Queen is a special secretary to
Senator Hroughton, while C. E. Brown is
.secretary to Representative Redden. On top
of that, both Tar Heel Senators are close to
Haywood, as is Representative Redden, and
,.!m- Representative Smathers of Florida.

Setting A Good Example
Many North Carolina counties are finding
it hard to raise their polio quotas. That is
hard to understand here in Haywood, where
the quota has been exceeded by almost $8,
n"0. and more still coming into the treasury.
Dave Hyatt, general polio chairman of
Haywood, gives his version of the matter,
1v stating that the citizens of Haywood have
taken the polio weirk, as well as all other
v.'n th while projects, as part of our duties
atid responsibilities to society and the world
at large.
It has come to our attention that some
cunties are consoling themselves on failure
to meet the quota, by pointing out that
' many others have failed, too." That atti
tude of defeatism will never win.
They would do well to look to Haywood.
The quota was $13,000 and already well over
S20.000 is in the treasury.

A program is underway in Cherokee coun
ty, sponsored by the Boy Scouts, of plant
ing dogwood trees, the state flower.
In one week the Scouts of Cherokee coun
ty, in and around Murphy, planted 139 dog
wood trees.
Within a few years, we expect we will be
hearing of that area as the land of dogwoods,
somewhat like Morganton has become known
;or the mimosa, and Washington for tulips.

Letters To Editor
es the fear that, Just as earlier
machines "devalued the human
arm," present and future ones
may leave men of average intelli
gence with "nothing to sell that is
worth anyone's money to buy."
But for one thing, until children
can be educated by machinery,
there will always be a job for
anyone wbo wants one.
Hove you a right to expect to be appreciated?
Aswer: This is a case where a
"right" means nothing because
there is no way to enforce it; you
can't possibly make anyone feel
toward you as you feel that he
"should." And while you may get
appreciation often mpre than
you feel you deserve it will be
based on what you did for some
ope from his standpoint, never
from yours. A friend will be grate
ful for what he feels is a favor and
may resent what you think is a
much bigger one because he
doesn't want it. In general, the
its appreciation you expect, the
juorr ou win gel.
Will machines ever replace
men?
Answer: There are scientists
who think it dangerously possible.

DM mental symptoms of O.l.'s

Answer: Yes, says Dr. Isadore I.
Weiss in the Journal of Clinical
Psychopatholpgy. While Insanity
that is developed In the military
service is muck- more apt to be
temporary than similar illness in
civilians, being partly due to
abnormally disturbing circum
stances, the type known as "manic-depressive"
is said to have been
more common among officers,
while enlisted men more fre
quently became "schizophrenics."
One reasop plight be that the tn
troycrtcd type who is niore apt to
have schizophrenia would ot care

WAYNE" CORI'EMNG, THE
HAYWOOD MAN OF 1948
Editor The Mountaineer:
It is execedinply gratifying that
the majority of persons in your
"Voice of the People" in a recent
issue of the Mountaineer staled
thaf Mr. Corpenine had done more
for Haywood in 1943 than any oth
er citizen. The honor, in my .judg
ment, has been v. ell hi Mowed His
work as County Farm Agent has
been truly outstanding. As a found
ation, he has taken the work of
his predecessors and has widened
and strengthened it bj. his own
efforts. I have unfortunately not
been able to observe this at close
hand as 1 have w b-!ied. But the ad
mirable reports in the Mountain
eer of his work and thai of Hie
County Home A cent . plus what I
could see when home last summer,
make sure the great forward prog
ress of old Haywood in agricul
ture, dairying, cattle-raising, and
the development of farm homes.
Just in proportion as our county
people turn to Mr. Corpening and
Ihc other scientifically trained ad
visersin that way lies progress
in farm livina and h mie comfort.

REVALUATION' . . . Nothing
was -aid about it in the press, but
Long John Skinner of Littleton,
big wheel of the North Carolina
County Comi iissioiiers Association,
and Kerr Scott tossed some rather
sharp darts at each other in the
privacy of the governor's office
here last week. What they had to
say in that little meeting should
be ol interest to every landowner
in the Stale.
Saitl Governor Scott to Long
John Skinner: "Your commission
ers are too conservative. When
are you follows going to get on the
ball.' It is time for an upward re
valuation of property in North Car
olinaall over the State."
With that. Skinner virtually hit
the ceiling. What'.' Revalue proper
ly in these inflationary times? He!
tout ol Hie revaluation experi
ences of the 2(l's and of the fore
closures, tic., during the depres
sion. He's agin it -dead agin it.
However. Governor Scott has said
privately during recent weeks that
the value of property on the tax
hook.' is tremendously out of line
with its actual monetary value-.
II is his opinion that counties
would not ;ind it necessary to come
crying for Slate aid for school
