Court Begins In
Columbus Monday
The citizens of Polk county will nb j
doubt very much appreciate the many |
changes iand valifed improvements j
that have been made since last term
of court. The Old Temple of Justice
has practically been converted into
a new one; as it has now all of the
specially needed modern convenien-1
|ces installed, water, lights, heat, etjc.
modern and nice convenient office
rooms for the various county officers
toilets for men and women, etc. The j
auditorium or court room is especial-1
ly modernized, being equipped with
new improved seats made especially
for the court house. Also the bar and
(judge's stand have all been changed.
I The jurors will be able to serve better,
owing to recent changes made for
, them. We believe our board of county
commissioners deserve very mujch
credit for all of these improvements.
We also believe the board of education
and their co-workers deserve
much credit for the extensive im[
provements they have made and are
[making to the already good school
building. It is to be hoped that those
whose business it is to see that th^se
- - . I
recreation grounds are provided tor,
as a good recreation ground is ond of
the best assets to a school. Now we
would like to mention that Columbus
is now getting on the map with her
modern court house and jail, improved
school building, stores, bank, modern
cotton mill operated by modern men,
cotton gin, the best in the county,
lumber plant?good as the best, hotel,
full to capacity all the time and a live

AUSPICES MRSj. E. E. RANDOLPH!
Music Chairman of North Carolina
Federation Womens Club
What is meant by a Music Memory
Contest?
The value of music in education is
becoming more and more clearly recognized.
Music is a mind trainer and
it prepares for a broader, fuller, happier
life. Music memory contests are
devised for familiarizing children with
good music and for inculcating in
them that love for music which makes '
it a resource, a companion, and an enrichment
in later life.
Acquaintance is likely to merge into
liking, and liking into love. The important
thing is for every child to become
acquainted early.
True, the schools do not produce
men and women equipped by virtue
of their school music study to pursue
the teaching or performance of music I
as a means of livelihood.
They do more. They produce men
and women equipped with a love for
the highest of the arts; with a standard
of what is good in that art; with a
desire for that art; with a means of
further culture and of wise employment
of their leisure; with a social
asset and a legacy for their children,
"which theives cannot break in and
steal nor moth corrupt."
This year the Consolidated schools
of Polk county are making a step in
putting music appreciation in the cur(Continued

In the midst of what today comprises

the Indian village of Oconolufte

perhaps thousands, of years before
Columbus set foot on the soil of the
New World, the Warrior sang his
love songs to his mate, stalked the
sleek and fat deer which were in
abundance, fished the mountain
streams for the choicest trout and
danced his war dance on the eve of
departure to contest with bow and arrow
and tomahawk the encroachment
of neighboring tribes who coveted his
mountain Paradise. What riot the
mind of an imaginative person runs
today when massing twixt two files
of blazed t" which once marked
the only thoroughfare through the

and wonder one examines arrow
