JACKSON COUNTY
We HAVE PROGRESSED ALONG ALL
LINES SUPERINTENDENT DAVID H
BROWN.

Educational Edition of the News and
Observer
During the past year education in
jackson county has progressed along
all lines. Three new school houses
have been completed and eight,
others are in course of construction.
All of these houses are being built
in accordance with the plans ap-
I proved by the State Department of
Public Instruction and the average
cost of them will be about one
thousand dollars each.
Pupils patent desks teachers
desks, blackboards anc other furni-
ture have been bought to the amount
Of about three thousand, three hun
dred and sixty-nine dollars and we
now have an order placed for nearly
three hundred more patent desks,
Out of enrolment of three thous-
and five hundred and four we had
an average daily attendance of two
thousand three hundred and sixty
four which was very remarkable
considering that nearly every dis
trlct III the county was scourged
with an epidemic of measels in
some of which as high as ninety per
cent Of the pupils hai
We have two State high schools
IL the county besides the State
Normal and Industrial School at
Cullowhee and seven other schools
which are doing high school work.
We cave twenty-three special
local school tax districts in the
county from which is collected nine
thousand two hundred and sixty
three dollars and sixty-nine cents
which is more tax By a good deal
than Wilkes county collected from
folty-one districts.
The County Superintendent is
employed for all of his time and had
we been able to seclre suitable
person for the position we would
have had a lady elementary super
visor for ten of the special local tax
districts which are situated on the
railroad
Our county commencement was
very well attended and | think
greatly enjoyed by all present.
Those having completed the seventh
grade were awarded diplomas. At
eleven a. m. we had a very enter
tanning address by Prof. C. H. Utley.
In the afternoon the contests in
recitation, composition, defamation
and spelling were held. Gold medals
were given the winners in the reci-
tation and defamation contests.
gold and silver pins were given
those who stood first and second in
the composition contest, and an un-
abridged dictionary was awarded to
the winner of the spelling contest.
We have had eighteen district
teachers meetings the past year. At
the meetings the reading course
books were given and any other
matter which it seemed to be neces-
sary to bring before the teachers of
the county. All of these meetings
were well attended and the teachers
take great pride in making them
interesting and profitable.

bible CONFERENCE

ference is over. The next session
will be next summer. Already the
management is making preparations
for the third annual session.
There is nothing perhaps, that
means more for the intellectual and
moral good of this section than the
annual Bible Conference. For last
week we had an example of the
magnetic influences of the Confer
ence in drawing here men of power,
men of ability. men of stability of
charactar, men who have lived lone
and wrought wei, men who think
deeply and have the faculty of put
ting their thoughts into words that
others may think with them and
into action that others may be
blessed.
Judge Pritchard told of the fight
Tor manhood that has been by him
self and others in Western North
Carolina, Of the eternal battle that
has been Waged against vice and
crime, of how king alcohol has been
dethroned among our people. Judge
Prlchard dropped the cares of a
busy life to come to us and speak
a word for the Masters kingdom.
DR.. Walter n. Johnson of Wake
Forest one of the best thinkers and
most forceful and logical speakers
IN the state delivered a number of
addresses making profound i'm
preston upon his hearers.
Dr. Calvin B. Waller pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Asheville
and one Of the hest known pulpit
orators Of the South was one OF ,the
principal speakers Of the week.
Dr.. Caleb A. Ridley, the ini1nitable
was also II much demand during
the conference.
L through the means Of the West
ern North Carolina Bible Conference
we shall continue to bring men such
as these here we nave so'nstiin9
that IS very much worth while.
The officers Of the Conference re-
elected are: manager Thad T. Deitz,
Bryson City, president Caleb A.
Ridley, Atlanta, vice president Chas.
I. Allison, Sylvia, secretary M. D.
CoWan, Sylvia, treasurer E. B. Nc
Dade, Sylvia.
The efforts Of the MANAGEMENT
and speakers Of the Conference are
not III vain. They are building an
institution that is destined to be an
important factor in the development
Of Western North Carolina for, after
all, the greatest asset of our mount.
ain country is our people.
The influence radiating from the
Western North Carolina Bible Con
ference is striking q responsive cord
in the hearts and minds of the
people, and it will continue to reach
out until it penetrates into every
cave and creek and mountain side
in Western North Carolina.

dad, y en- varios puntOs, como
en- Leon, las guarniciones ca
rrancistas Sc han undo al lea

JUDGE KooNcE CANDIDATE FOR
STATE ATTORNEY

Good news cones from Ocala and
Marion county of Judge Koonce's can
didacy for State Attorney. This is as
we hoped for and is very fitting rec
ognition of an unselfish interest mani
tested by Judge Koonce for Ocala sew.
eral years ago when that city was a
candidate for the State Capitol. At
this time he was publishing this paper
and week after week he devoted much
space in his paper advocating Ocala's
claims, and even printed extra copies
to send out over the State. His edi-
torials for Ocala were strong and logi-
cal and they were without cost to
Ocala. He would not receive pay for
service rendered our neighbor city
and besides he stoutly refused to ac-
cept advertisements from either OF
the other cities wanting the capitol.
Several proposition were made to him
for advertising space, and even an Of
fer to purchase the paper during the
campaign, but because he believed
Ocala to be the proper place for the
capitol he would not consider even a
paid advertisement for any other
place. That is characteristic of the
man; he can always be depended on
to fearlessly and strongly stand by
his convictions. Another reason why
Marion county should feel friendly to
Judge Koonce is the very active in
terest he took in the last fair at Ocala.
1t was by his suggestion that the
Bushnell board of trade first took the
matter up, and it was by his efforts
and that of other public spirited men
that Sumter county was able to make
the creditable display it did. Judge
Koonce went around to the various
places with others, and urged the peo-
pie to take part in this exhibit. Then
he went to Ocala and spent the entire
week, without compensation, helping
i've manner. He not only gave his
time but contributed literally in
money to insure the success. There
was no politics in this work, but with
him it was a labor of love- because
he is always found in the foremost
rank when it comes to doing some
thing to benefit his fellow man. And
so we say that Sumter county will
deeply appreciate the kind interest
which Marion seems to be taking in
his race for state attorney-Sumter
County Times.
