puohsned IN the journal of the last
TWO issues, a meeting was held last

plans Tor the trection of moD,,-

fected with c. C. Buchanan as pres

On account Of limited time it was
impossible to complete the orean-
lzatlon at that time, however, plans
are being worked out for carryind
the organization into every town
snip in the county, the township
organization and that Of the county
working in cooperation.
Mr.. S. c. Latham, of Greenwood.
;. e., an experienced monument
builder, was present and upon re~
quest Of the association submitted
designs. The one that was unani-
nously adopted is a Triunphanf
Arch Of Waynesboro granite and

with q bronze figure Of a Confeder-
ate infantryman. On enc column

the memory Of the Confederate sol |
1lers and upon the other to the

5oon as is practicable cut Of the
design will be published in the
journal SO that everyone may see
u8t what we are to build.
"A committee, composed Of T. C.

The contract was awarded to MIR.
}. G. Latham, he being the lowest
'idder, at $1850.00 for the job com

ELECTION CALLED OFF

Opposition. to theFarm-life School
having developed in several town
Smps, the Board of Commissioners
and education deemed il best to call
OH the election at present and wait
uhtH the farmers OF the county de-
ilahd further a school for the edu-
cation OF their sons and daughters
along the line of agricultural train
ing. When the election was called
50 Iar as could be ascertained Senuf
ment was unanimous all over the
county Tor the proposition. And in
some cases the ones making the
most aggressive fight against the
school during the past Two weeks
were equally enthusiastic for it at
hrSt. This is only a postponement.
Inc school will ultimately be estab-
hshed. The state superintendent was
called upon this week to visit al
ready two Of the best counties of
the state to confer with them con-
cerning the establishment Of similar
schools.
approximately three thousand
schools in the United Stat s in the
past ten years have either been
established to teach agriculture and
domestic science or have introduced
these subjects into their courses Of
study.
Every farmers organization in star
and nation are demanding the
establishment Of schools to teach
asrcdltnre. The farmers ce jackson
20: have no organization 0. aav kind.
The campaign for the school vii, ha
a blessing to the county. 1t has been
conducted honestly aas3 hoaorablv
and | believe I can say for everv
one who has taken part, we one and
all, stand ready in the future to ro
new our efforts to secure for Jack
'ol a school devoted. to the ednca
-ionof boys and girls for country
building and home ma,ins o,d
place Jackson County in the lead in
Western North Carolina.
We have the buildings and the
arm, and the county holds deeds in
ee-slmpie to both, and when this
ears taxes have been paid the new
'ourt house viii be paid for and
very bridge in the county, which
outstanding obligations have been
made the basis Of opposition to the
cnool at present. Practically every
pponent OF the school in the conn
y mas promised his hearty suDDort
no cooperation in its esta5liseb-
nent when these obligations have
cen met. We shall rely upon them
he school will be established VET
y the farmers of Jackson county.

can ever, sanction such move as
IS now on foot to fleece the REAL
FARMERS of the county out Of
their hard earned savings and pres
ti8e by those who know no more
about farming than a mere child
would know about running a loco

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Minor Sweeney


The students of the high school
arrested and tried the senior class
for "playing hockey" and kidnapping
their teacher, Miss Ethel Pope. The
trial took place yesterday afternoon
at the high school, the executive COM
mittee acting as jurors. Egbert
Swanson and Richard Perry were at
torneys for the plaintiffs and Harold
Thomson and Wiley Weaver attorneys
for the defendants.
From the beginning of the trial
the seniors had the best of the argu-
ment. Every one of them had sex-
cuses from their parents and permis-
sion from Professor Kerr to go. The
schools attorneys evidently had te
draw on their Imagination for their
Arguments and they contradictef
each other a number of times.
Judging from the penalty imposed
upon the seniors by the jurors it is ap.
parent that they are fond of ice
cream. The seniors are to treat the
rest of the school to five gallons Of
ice cream. However, they are willing
to pay the price.

INLAND Educational Day
Will Draw Big Crowd

Tomorrow is Educational Day at
INLAND. All the teachers and chill
dren of the Imperial valley are to be
the guests. Plus this, a trainload of
teachers and prominent educational
leaders are to be on hand from Los
Angeles. This delegation will be
headed by Professor Millspaugh, pres
ident of the State Normal. Every
thing possible is going to be done at
INLAND to make it a gala day in the
lives of the children. There is to be
plenty of "good things to eat" Beau
tiful large souvenir pennants are to
be given every parent and teacher
A feast fit for the gods is being pre-
pared for the occasion.
The one object of this great ex-
cursion is to let the child see first
hand what water is doing for this
valley and how it is enabling this
valley to place at his command the
best educational advantages to be
had. In other words, to learn how
the school taxes are made from the
soil. This will enable the child te
better appreciate his schooling and to

fifteen acres in the new Suez tract

"DAMON-PYTHIAS"
PRODUCTION WAS
GENUINE SUCCESS

With packed house at the Holt
opera house at it's first appearance
last night, the play of Damon and
Pythias as presented by the K. of
P. organization twas received with
the widest enthusiasm. There was
not a hitch in the production from
start to finish. Everything went off
smoothly and the greatest praise has
been heaped on the actors and act
resses who took part. The play will
be repeated this evening, after which
the production will be staged in Ca
lexico.
Damon as depicted by Mr.. j., Stan
ley Brown was without flaw. Not 9.
great many people were aware that
the youthful looking Damon was j.
Stanley Brown, treasurer Of Imperial
county, but that official appeared
without his mustache and goatee. His
son, Floyd X. Brown, was equally eff
ficient in the role Of Pythias, many
present commenting on the unusual
spectacle of father and son appear
ing as Damon and Pythias. Each of
these actors was thoroughly alert to
every dramatic situation and drew
repeated applause from the large au-
cience.
Floyd X. Brown has had extended
experience in stage craft and direct
ed all of the scenery and stage furni-
ture. None of the usual long periods
of waiting was in evidence last night.
Scene after scene and act after act
passed off with perfection seldom
see in amateur productions.
Herbert L. Iasigi as Lucullus. the
slave, was worthy of commendation
also, the young attorney exhibiting
real genius when it came to depict
ing the abject slave after having
killed the horse which would have
saved his masters friend.
Calanthe, one of the strongest char
acters in the play, was taken by
Hiss Velma kirkpatrick, her charac-
terization being extremely good. Her.
mion was handled efficiently by Miss
Agnes Atkinson.
Each costume was just out of the
bandbox. The X. of P.s were not
economical when it came to the stag
ing of the play. The scenery was
special and especially good. 1t was
ordered for the occasion and brought
forth frequent remarks of admira-
| ton.
