Editor Western Carolina Democrat. .
Pear Sir: " v
Believing your good paper to be the
repository of the grievances of. the
citizens of Hnedersonville and more
particularly the plaints of the parents
ol. the school cnildren or tnis com- meui iue uuucu omic uu uuwu
munity concerning their comfort and for their consideration a definite plan
health, I write you in regard to the . for the future treatment of the revo
condition of the closets at the graded I lution-torn republic in Central Amer
school.
From time to time my boy has been
bringing me reports of the outrageous
condition obtaining there because of
the criminal carelessness and wilful
naughtiness of the pupils uncorrected
cr unpunished by the authorities. Bu
ii was yesterday I sm f" -
girls' closets and wan ttsu.nn.i- fh
such a condition of affairs vnii
tolerated a moment. The water was
ali over the place; one's skirts had to
be raised to pass along the floor, be
hind each closet door conditions were
unspeakable. I am told that the girls
wilfully thrown down whole rolls of
toilet paper thus stuffing up the clos
ets; also apple cores, etc.
Occasional or continual lecturing
upon this subject by the principal will
Lave no effect. Drastic measures
should be taken and at once. Severe j
and condign punishment should be
meted out to such offenders. They are
a menace " to their school-mates In
every way and such lawlessness and
persistent endeavor to create trouble
produces children of the worst type.
It is' negligence o fthe worst order to
evince laxity toward such offenders.
Are not the members of the Board
of Education intelligent enough to see
to what physical and moral detriment
these conditions .will lead and are they
not interested enough to "exert them
selves until it would be impossible for
a child to so offend again? If a ten
minute emphatic address each morn
ing in chapel to the pupils upon thw
present conditions and an imperative
demand that all such acts leading tu
such conditions be discontinued at
once or final dismissal from the school
in disgrace, would be given by a dif
ferent member of the Board each day
for a week I am sure a beneficent re
sult would be obtained. If necesseary,
for a small fee, a maid could sit and
watch-for offenders from 8:30 till 2:30
and the trouble would be quickly set:
tied. Children, before now, have felt
the wholesome awe of determined
surveillance.
In the meantime it would seem that
small-pox isn't enough for the com
munity, but that the Board of Educa
tion by its lack of interest in the sani
tation of the school house is indiffer
ent as to whether we have the addi
tional anxiety of typhoid.
Very truly yours,
mf . . aJ&other.
Plenty Cnil Service Jobs.
The Civil Service Commission has
announced examinations for telegraph
and telephone inspectors for Decem
ber 1 and 3. These positions pay $720
to $2,700 annually. This affords an
opportunity for North Carolinians.
The declaration of the Treasury
Department that the income tax jobo
will not be given out until after
Christmas will hit hard some of tlm
candidates who expected to get on
the payroll before the holidays. In
addition to that it is said that th.
places will not pay from $4 to $7 a
day but from $3 to $5. It gets worse
and more of it. The appointments
or tne income-tax collectors win dh
made by Collectors Watts and Bailey
instead of by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue. The Overman amend
ment has the precendent over the tariff
bill in this matter.
John Eversman who is directing the
work of the Republican Congressional
Committee from-Washington, said to

Hells-Ion and Politics.
(High Point Enterprise.) ;
Any country which has so little re
spect for Ood and the Sabbath to con
duct a Tv)lit!cil election on Sunday
should be controlled by a Christian
covernrnpnt. Yet depraved Mexico
did this yesterday. No wonder that
rebellion and death are its portions
end fcave been for half a century or
more. .
European Towers to Consider Mexican
Trouble.

France have agreed to adopt, no new
'policy toward Mexico until the govern-
ica n

await a proposal regarding Mexico
from this government had been made,
and that three great European nations

No More Downbonler,,
Newbern, W.. O. Saunders, editor of
The Downhomer, a monthly magazine
issued at Elizabeth City, pleaded guil
ty to a charge of sending obscene mat
ter through the mails. Judge Connor,
before whom the case was to be tried,
suspended judgment upon the payment
of the costs of the case and upon con
dition that the publication of The
Downhomer be ceased. -
This case has attracted wide inter
est. It was first tried at Elizabeth
City and resulted in a mistrial. It was
then removed to Newbern. There
were two counts against the defend
ant: One in regard to an article con
cerning Governor Blease of South Car
olina. The defendant pleaded guilt7
only on one county.
Saunders was required to give bond
i nthe sum of $200 for. hi sappearance
before Federal Court at Elizabeth
City for the next two years and show
that he has not resumed publication
of The Downhomer.
What has become of the "down
trodden farmer?" There ain't no such
thing. The down trodden farmers of
old are now an organized army of
militants. The president of the Far
mers' Union of Texas has sent out a
circular in which he says that "the
union with its quarter of a million
members, is the greatest collosus of
power in Texas today and the big
giant has more potential energy for
progress than any and all other fac
tors in the state. Likewise the mem
bers of the executive committee are
stalwart men they "work and build
while they plan."
There is no taint of "downtrodden-
ism" in that statement. The union
had a meeting of its executive com
jnittee and Galveston last week and a
movement was started to corner the
cotton gin industry in Texas.
"We have 4,600 gins in Texas," says
the president, "valued at $46,000,000,
and the farmers of the state can take
the gins over and save the cotton
growers nine to ten million dollars
per annum which is now paid the
owners in dividends. It will also give
the Farmers' Union control of the
sale of the cotton seed and several
million dollars more can be put in
the pockets of the farmers, thereby
getting a just price fo rthe seed."
The farmers were a little late in
coming to it, but they have at last
learned the value of organizing. They
learned the lesson from the Tobacco
Trust and other trusts which at one
time they so roundly abused. And the
best part of it for them, is that they
have the authorities of government
with them. Newport News Press.
Mrs. Jefferson Case Dead.
Mrs. Jefferson Case, aged 81 years,
died at he rhome at Blue Ridge Tues
day morning of last week. The fun
eral services were conducted by Rev.

The deceased was a valued member
of the Ebenezer Baptist church and
hed death is regretted by her large

thirty years. Surviving are two sons.

Not Pleased at Alt
(Statesville Landmark.)
Much has been said in. the capers
about the mysterious light which can
bf seen from certain points in Burke
county a l'ght which rises from no
where, so far as thje natural eye car
disconcern, is visible for a time an1
then passes out. It has been observed
for years by many Burke people and.
finally so much interest was aroused
that the government was importuned
to send an expert to pass on the mys
tery. The expert appeared in Burke
a few days ago but his research was
not satisfactory. The Morganton
Messenger says the expert Mr. Star
rette arrived in Morganton with his
mind made up that the mysterious
light was the headlight of a locomo
tive and refused to take th matr
seriously. The. Burke people think
the phenomenon wn rot treated
with'' the consideration which its
nortance demands anxl they are. as a
result, somewhat in the state of mud
of the Alexander county boy who
found himself in the penitentiary
they are not pleased at all.
Hot Rased on Common Sense.
(Salisbury Post.)
There are lots of boys on the farm
who ought to be elsewhere, and boys
in town that ought to' be on the farm
If a city bred bov feels the call to the
farm, there is just as, much wrong
in retaining him, -as there is. wrone
In keeping the country reared boy on
he farm when he ought to be doing
other work. This thing of advising
every boy on the farm to stay there is
not altogether based on common,
sense. - '
Prof. J. R. Sandifer of Charlotte is
In Hendersonville making arrange
ments for opening a boys' school In
East Hendersonville on the Mountain
View Lodge, property next fall.
The Mountain , View property, In
cluding the 25-room house and ten
acres of ground, has been purchased
t n $6,300 and in addition to this build
ing, one of similar proportions will be
built of brick before the opening of
school. The new building will be usei
mostly for school room purposes, the
present building to be utilized for dor
mitory purposes.
Prof. A. G. Randolph, superinten
dent of the Monroe city schools, will
bo associated with Professor Sandifer
as co-principal, both of whom will l
assisted by a strong corps of teachers.
Professor Sandifer was the promote
of the Camp ' Sapphire school near
Brevard during the past summer and ,
has had ten years' experience in differ- j
ent Virginia schools for boys. j
It is planned by the new school to
secure a number of boarding pupils
between the ages of ten and eighteen
jears from various parts of the coun
try and . give them the desired ad
vantages preparatory to a college
course.
Professor Sandifer, his mother and
sister are making headquarters at the
Mountain View Lodge, where they
will remain permanently.
To Help Women.
The establishment of a branch of the
department of farm women, probably
will be undertaken by Secretary Hous
ton in the near future. The secretary
recently sent out broadcast to farm
ers wives and daughters a letter ask
ing how the department could be of
help to them. Replies are now com-
ing in every mail.

$3.50 to ETangelize World.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct, 29. Meth
ods for enlargement of the Methodis',
church were discussed today at 19 sec
tional meetings of the national con
vention of Methodist men. Each sec
tion represented the territory of a
a bishop. Effects in these territories
of the new financial plan of the church
received particular attention.
Prior to the sectional meetings, the
convention heard representatives of
three other churches tell what their 1
church organizations had been doing
in missionary fields. These speakers
were C. A. Rowland, of Athens, Ga.,
si-eaking for the Southern Presbyte
rians; A. E. Cory, of Cincinnati, for
the -Disciples of Christ, and J. Camp
bell White, for the United Presbyte
rians. Mr. White, who also spoke tonight,
said that if fifteen millions of the
twenty-three millions of Protestant
o'lurch members in America would
give as much per member $3.50- -ay
the United Presbyterians did last
year, there would be funds enough to
evangelize the world in the present
generation.
"The problem of our civilization is
the problem of the city," declared A.
W. Leonard, of Seatle, Wash., who
spoke tonight. He said preachers in
the pulpit should lead in civic right
eousness. A Necessity.
On November fifteenth there will be
held an election in Waynesville on the
question of issuing twenty thousand
dollars in bonds to extend the sewer
system of the city so as to fulfill the
provisions of the contract made be
tween Waynesville an dthe Southern
Assembly when that institution was
locate dat Lake Junaluska.
In a nutshell the whole proposition
this, that the sewer system of the
town should be extended so that it
wllT not be emptied into Lake Juna
luska, thereby polluting the water3
there. .
There was no "dissent at the mass
meeting held in Waynesville at which
this was agreed upon a sthe right and
proper thing to do. There will be no
el'ssent now. There is danger, how
ever that our people may be indiffer
ent on the subject and therefore fail -
to provide the bonds for the improve-
rent. -
The Southern Assembly is a part of
Waynesville. Already it has added to
the fame of this town and "attracted
here thousands who before, knew not
that there wa such a place on the j
map In the years to come it will be (
an asset ever increasing in value to;
Waynesville. From a purely selfish j
standpoint, therefore, the people of ;,
Waynesville have everything to gain
?n co-operating to make Lake Junalus- i
ka and .its surroundings as beautiful I
as possible. - '
On the moral side of the question
the town is bound to do this thing:
that was promised. The contract that
w&b made perhaps would not hold in
a court of law, but the town is mor
ally bound by its terms, and must ful
fill them. -.
Entirely aside from the effect on
Lake Junaluska the proposed exten
sion of the spwr system means that
thi needs o fthe town will be thf.a
cared for through manv vears to come
l ind a problem that will face the town
as It grows will have hen settled
There can be no argument a eto the
need of the improvements, and the is
suance of bonds I sthe only way to get
them. Waynesville Courier, 1 v
.The W. O.1 W. of this ' district are
now in the midst of an energetic cam
paign which they believe will, resuli at,
the addition of .400 new members.
On December 18 there will be a classx
ii-itiation, the degree work being con
ferred by that fine team of White Pine
Camp of Hendersonville'. A banquet
will follow the initiation and the
founder of all Woodcraft, .Mr. J. C.
Root, wiH.be present in addition to
the head officers of the Grand camp.
This district comprises 15 counties,
ana White Pine camp is the largest ill
the District. There are two million
members In the organization ;which
is a thoroughly fine one. ' During this
campaign the initiation fee has been
reduced from $10 to $3 and there
seems little doubt but that the 400
new members will be secured.
The Greater Hendersonville club
will co-operate with the W. O. W. in
making this gathering on Dec. 17 the
success it should be. It is really a
convention, and as such, properly

activities.
TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY.
Religious and Physical Conditions as
Observed by Charity and Children.
Through the county of Transylva
nia the French Broad river, the most
beautiful stream in North Carolina,
winds its way. The valley of the
Fiench Broad is notorious for its
beauty and fertility. Near the village
of Blantyre 12 miles west of Hender
scnvillfi the Transylvania association
met in its annual session with the
Boilston church on Thursday Oct. 16,
Rev. A. J. Manly was- re-elected mod
erator and T. C. Hendersonclerk.
The introductory sermon, which was
earnest and forceful, was delivered by
Rev. R. D. Cross of Brevard. The or
ganization was quickly effected and a
gcod delegation responded to the roll
call. The brethren were in good
j spirits, being kindly and considerately,
called up the report of the Orphanage
the firstthing. It was the first time
the writer had the pleasure of appear
ing before the body, and he was heart-
J ily welcomed and given a very atten
tive hearing. A great forward move
ment was made for the support of the
Orphanage. And - the churches re
sponded nobly to the call for pledges.
The Church at Brevard Is by all
odds the leading church in the associ
ation.. It is under the wise and pro
gressive pastoral care of Rev. R. D.
Cross. Its record last year was $1,
S00 for all objects. '
The Transylvania people are pros
perous an dintelligent. The -laymen
are growing tired of an inefficient min
Ictrv inrl aro rl cm qnriintr t hi&hbr or.
der of preaching. One field has called
a strong pastor and
settled him-in
their midst They are paying nlm a
living salary, and he is devoting his
whole time to his Ark. The breth
ren are ' coming to see that a man
cannot preach and plow both that he
must stick to the one or the other.
This is the s"preme need of that fine
section, and if the churches will group
themselves into compact fields, and
settle their pastors among them with
decent salaries the associations will
blofBom like the rose. ,
Nature has done everything for that
beauiful country. Situated between
the Blue ridge and the Balsam' range
it is sheltered from the rigor of win

DERATE ON-SEGRO QUESTION.
Rishops Cheshire and Kinsolving anJ
Dr. Pittenger Urge Separation.
NeW York. A heated debate over
he negro question enlivened the de
liberations of the Protestant Episco
pal House of Deputies at the general
convention. A majority report by the
committee on the racial episcopate was
presented recommending against the
establishment of separate churches,
d-ocese and bishops for southern ne
groes, while a minority report re
commended separation.' Amid a storm
of discussion the House finally made
both reports the order of business for
Wednesday afternoon, limiting debate
on eacu side to half an hour.
The proposal is a radical violation
of the principles and customs of dio
cesan union, asserted the majority re
port, read by Rev. C D. Bryan of
North Carolina. The minority con
sisting of Bishops Kinsolving of Texas
and Cheshire of. North Carolina and
Rev. Dr.. Pittenger of Raleigh, N. C,
took exception to this declaration,
saying that the white people and the
negroes of the south could not be
