' Seventy Head of Fine Registered Jer sey Cattle in Dairy Shew The competition was hard in all . these classes and it upset the opinion of the owners very" much even about their own cattle. . ' The outstanding thing about the judging was this; in the mature cow class the two cows that stood at the head of the list was this, they were not four gallon cows or five gallon cows or three gallon cows, but they were Register of Merit cowsr These cows had seven thousand pounds of milk aft£ over four hundred and fifty pounds of butter fat in one year, this is practically three gallons of milk for three hundred days in one year not five gallons per month, three gallons per month; two gallons per month and a gallon and onc-haK the rest of thei rmilking period. They were consistent high producers. And in the herd class the Blue Ribbon Herd had the Mature Blue Ribbon Cow ang. under three year old Blue Ribbon cow, and' the second in the Junior Yearling. In the sixteen cows that were en tered in the mature class they were! the yery best, eight of these were lin- ( ed up as hard competition, any cow in thi« eight was a wonderful cow and worthy of praise. In line they were as follows: First to eighth, B. Neal Haigler, Andrew Padgett, Ed Mease, G. R. Ford, Andrew Padgett, Carmen Anderson*, G. R. Eprd and Ed Mease. All of these cows might have been changed* under different milking per botter under better conditions. ly would have shown up Despite the fact that chickens a*» gelling lof- only about thirty cento u pound, Henry Dockery, who operates • retail grocery and feed business just across Valley River, has diseov C.od that thegiward el. one ot Urn barn-yard inhabitants Is' Worth ivs weight in silver, ..

OMAN PARTIES SPlir COUNTY TICKET IN CHEROKEE Republicans Lose Offices Of Sheriff, Coroner and Clerk; Race Close Several Others Keen competition at th* polls dur ing the county election last Tuesday resulted in the Democrats filling three offices and making exceedingly close races for others. D. M. Birchfield, Democrat was elected Sheriff over B. B. Morrow by a majority of 677. Dr. J. H. Crawford of Unaka was electer coroner over J. S. Dockery by a ma jority of 56. Paul Hyatt was elected Clerk of the Court over E. E. Davis by a majority of 347. ey Democrat for representative, Odom Exceedingly close races between W. F. Odom, Republican and M. L. Maun receiving 41 majority; T. W. Axley, W. T. HoHand, W. J. Martin, Republi cans, incumbent, and S. W. Lovin good, W. T. Moore, and John E. Hall, Democrats, for County commissioners; \V. A. Boyd, Republican, and A. A. Fain, Democrat for Register of Deeds, Boyd being elected by 77 majority. The election was hotly contested by both parties, and for a while it looked as though the county would go Dem ocratic, but the final county of the ballots left the Republicans in pos session of all county offices except three. Cherokee is normally Republi can by about 500 majority. The total county vote is given be low. It is regretted that delay in ob taining the official count prevents the Scout from giving tabulation of the returns by precincts. For Clark E. E.

I heard Jordon’s dying statement and also saw the Dr. dress him and do know Jordon of Colvard either one did not have_any weapons at all. Jordons statement was as follows: “Albert Colvord stopped on some busi ness at tbfe home of Bob Colvard’s where P. Colvin was staying, said he, Jordan, waited in the highway some few moments for him to return, so Jordan being in a hurry to go home, he stepped to the gate to call Albert Colvard when he met Colvard coming and Jordan turned to go back to his car when he heard a voice from the yard say with a oath I will let you know I’m here yet apd Jordan and Colvard turned to see what it meant and they saw D. Colvin was standing behind them with his pistol in his hand and-began firing. He shot Al bert Colvard first and then turned to shoot Tom Jordan, Jordan begged to not be shot, said 1 have not a thing ! CULLOWHEE.ON ASH HIGHWAY Cullowhee, November 3.—Cullo whee State Normal is on the Appala chian Scenic Highway. Although technically speaking the school is eight miles south of where the road passes through Syiva it is nevertheless taking membership in the great high way association and will, therefore, hereafter be ; ecognized as identified with the highway movement. The name •‘Cullowhee” will be printed on maps as a point on the scenic route, and in front of the administration building of the school will soon be placed the regulation ASH Highway market. Tourists desiring informar tior concerning highways will find lit oral u;e and mags at the school. Last Thuisday three representatives of the ASH, the head photographer, the field secretary, and the publicity director, spent several hours at Cul lowhee and took over one hundred feet of motie film of the school, to be used as part of ti e great picture that is being prepared of impo tant and in teresting places along the highway. The pictures taken at Cullowhee in clude views of the students body in ou-tdoov pbvsica! activities and in door scenes of the new Moore Dormitory for young women. AUTUMN (Copyright 192fi W. T. Hunt) Old lady Summer is ready to move. And there are many who will not ap prove, But she is not now the sprightly young thing Who came to visit us late last spring. Her dresses are old her features have shrunk. And l care little when she packs her trunk Because, in her stead, there is com ing a maid Far more beautiful and not quite so staid. A maiden on whose cheek there is a blush, Prettier than ever came from paint ers brush, Miss Autumn, if you please, in gold, crimson and brown— The very latest craze in her fall gowns; And whether cut long or about Ne-hi, No color of fabric can with them vie— - She pi esages her presence on vale and hill, And on the maples, down by the mill; So, good-by, old girl, we have no re gret. ; v Howdy do, Miss Autumn, we’re glad we’ve not, Because your days are not “melancho ly days”— The man who said so was a grouch in his ways; And your woods, to me, are not “brown and sere"— You we just the best pal of all the year; And the company you bring is not ta-boo, For Mr. Jack Frost is as gay as you; And if in fun he bites the old dames nose. And just for a prank he pinches her toes Who cares? For late next spring she will be back, And lay us all on her sweltering rack. to fight with and I don't want any trouble. Colvin did not heed. He shot Jordan and he fell and begged not to be shot again. Colvin come up to him where he was lying and shot him through the head. He was so close Jordon’s face was powder burnt considerably bad. Jordan lay where he fell for two hours in the rain. Colvards did not > even offer to spread a quilt or any thing over the dying man. He lived four hours after he was shot and told the Dr. he was prepared to die and that Colvin had bush-whacked him.” I notice in some of the papers they' call him young olvin, I do riot think he is so very young, he is old enough that he has murdered 3 men, not tak ing to notice those he haa wounded. —The. Cherokee Scout.
