0UALLA MOON
Light SCHOOLS?

For the benefit of those interested
in broad-day-light and black-mid
night schools we honorably submit
the following light "epistle" on good
roads:
Do you know that we, Jackson in
general and Qualla in particular
have not been ashamed and dis
gusted to the point of vomiting anv
too long to boasl. But we are not
boasting when we give facts and a
few figures to show you that Quail l
Township is going to come with Syl-
va and Cullowhee Townships and
shake these dreaded hills and de-
testable fence corners. Gentlemen,
the Bible says, there's time for
everything, doesn't it? The time
came and passed for Qualla to have
preliminary road meeting to feel
her pulse; and SO per cent of the 80
p 'ople present at the first moon
light school expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of change in
our present poor roads.
The unanimous conclusion of this
body was to do something in the
WY of building roads.
New ambitions have aroused in
newer and better civilization in
Jackson and in Qualla Township.
The ox-wagon is passing and in
place of it the Ford is here-and the
nine passenger will 90 thru from
Asheville to Atlanta--and like wise
return-and sometimes they will
stop over at Sylvia and Whittier
and why lot Wilmot, too? The
Southern Railroad will make quick
er trips to Murphy-and the L. and
n. will make better connections
there.
On this highway lie these points
and near to them, an outspur from
these towns, Cherokee. Thousands
will then visit this school whereas
hundreds already do annually.
But enough in general and back
to that pint.
Three divisions and even another
division or Main Line are being de-
liberated upon. The first and most
logical one is to lead from Whittier
and Wilmot at meeting point near
Andy Martins just below the Qualla
Graded School, thence to continue
to the end of Swain County's New
Road or within a little ways from
the present Highway now practical
ly finished to Cherokee a Road
a good wide Road. Perhaps it's too
good to join to, but Qualla should
risk it and Withholding is too
good for Qualla! But the additional
plan is to make more perfect tri-
angle in place of a "pully-bone" is
to add to this pully-bone a road
from Wilmot to Whittier. This
road will come-No question about
that. Its there and will be rightly
graded and slightly changed.
Bonds? bonds? Bonds? Hands up!
Taxes, taxes, 0, We, Sheriff! How
we hate thee-and yet we will still
have a sheriff. If we vote special
Tax-all the better! But make
it enough to start something"
Let's raise row on a light bond or
heavy Special Tax. No. there's
no row to raise. I'd rather be on
good road afoot, with my earthly
belongings in my grip" a Good
Road l say and foot. Then some
body will pick you up if you faint
and there's no cussing to it. Then
we will drive the same kind of team
with the same kind of acid wood,
telephone poles or what not-and
wonder what they are pulling
will then not deliberate, or long

FARMERS CLUB BUYS BULL
(By Bueford M. Gile.)

Netherland Korndyke Johanna re-
Gently moved from Redwood Falls to
.Bemidji and is now located on the
farm of Peter Narum. Netherland
KOrndyke Johanna is a Holstein bull
and has become the property of the
Equitable Farmers club of FROM
township. This club has borrowed
money at the bank and will pay for
the bull out of service fees.
He is a fine, big groethy fellow,
evenly marked, about half black and
white, and is sixteen months old.
His sire is son of Earl Korndyke
Dekol, whose dame gave 20 pounds
of butter fat in one week under the
semi-official test. Bell Korndyke is
also behind this bull on the DANES
side, also the bull, Sir Johanna
Clothile, who has daughters that
have made nearly 900 pounds of but
ter in one year.
The whole neighborhood will use
this bull. They can afford to keep
one bull well and it will be much
cheaper and better for them than
it would be to keep in the community
three or four scrub bulls.
The club borrowed the money and
turned it over to the agricultural de-
partment of the high school with the
instructions to buy a bull. This was
done and the department is ready to
be of like service to any other COM
munity that might desire it.

Hav feedinu,

, A German experiment station has
been feeding hay which has been
stored for from one to three years to
find if it's digestibility has been influ-
enced by storage. The conclusion ar
p rived at was that hay was just as di-
gestible after storing as before stor-
ing, and that the chief loss was me-
chanical loss due to dropping of the
leaves. Experiments were made both
with meadow hay and clover hay that
had been stored in the loft.

and marked for pronun-

the same as in a die

CALL FOR PRETTY GIRLS.
LOUD AND HVSISTENT
Theatre Manager Urgent in
Demand, But Doubtful as
to Results

Has Philadelphia lost it's reputation for
having the prettiest girls in the country?
Manager McSween, OF the Chestnut Street
Opera House thinks So For the last two
weeks he has been advertising for six
pretty ushers, and II was specified that
their figures must be In keeping with
their looks, as they would be obliged to
wear short silk pants or knickerbockers
while performing the work of directing
patrons to their seats.
Fully 800 girls, who. thought they were
pretty, applied for the jobs today. Some
came from Haverford avenue, others from
Manayunk. some from Germantown and
many from Kensington, but there were
defects In nearly all. The applicants were
seated In the theatre and the spotlight
was turned on each. They smiled back
confidently and had visions of immediate
Jobs, but the inspection ended gloomily
Finally, In despair, Mr.. Mcsween Sc
lected eight OF the best OF the bad ones
and took their names He may be COM
PEELED 10 take six OF the eight as a last
resort.

girls" he said. Perhaps many OF them
are engaged and others are married. Real
pretty ones probably prefer other kind of
work"
II is possible that another erop Of
peaches expected tomorrow will pan out
better, but Mr.. McSween Is skeptlcal
So II there's pretty girl out OF work
she can 80 up tomorrow and be the star

JUDGES TRAGIC DEATH

Providence, R. l., Amazed by It's
Sudden Transformation From
Staid Cottage Town to
Murder City"
TRAGEDY BATTLES POLICE

PROVIDENCE, r. ! Sept From a
stald old cottage town. where a runaway
was an event, this city has become New
England's murder city" Two murders
that Of DR.. c. Franklin Mohr, physician
to Newport and Rhode Island society. and
OF Judge Willis Knowles, of the Eighth
District Court, both prominent-havc
made the city and surrounding country
n seething mass of theories, gossip and
mystery Neither of the killings is
cleared up.
Today the city is overrun with strang-
ers-detectives mostly. The murders. and
the possible apprehension of the sayers,
are the sole topics of conversation.
The mystery surrounding tine shooting
OF Judge Knowles yesterday in front of
his summer home in daylight was as
complete today as II was few hours
after he was killed. All the police knew
all anybody knew-was that three shots
suddenly rang out voice shouted
Now, I've got you, you -" and the
Judge fell dead with two bullets in his
back and ono in his jaw.
The local police, confronted with two
battling murders, were going round in cir
cles today. Two arrests were made after
the Knowles killing, but they were two
Italians and were almost Immediately ex-
onerated.
OF one thing there seemed no doubt
that the Judge was killed by some per-
son whom he had punished. He was noted
for his rigorous methods I'm dealing with
criminals, and threats had frequently
been made against his life. He always
went armed when he walked or rode In
the country. .
There were ugly rumors afioat today
that the Illegal liquor selling interests
were behind the killing. 1t was pointed
out that Judge Knowles was one of the
stanchest prosecutors OF 'booteggers. ="
Tomorrow there were to have been trials
of liquor cases In his court.
Harry Bodwell, former clerk OF Judge
Knowles and one of his closest confidants,
could throw little light on the mystery
today.
II do know. however" he said, that
Judge Knowles was disturbed by stories
that had come to him concerning people
who had suffered from some Of his deci-
Fions-particularly the liquor ones"
One OF the most perplexing phases Of
the mystery is the rapidity with which
the slayer made his escape. The Judge
was shot so close to his home that his
housekeeper-for he was a bachelor
heard each of the shots and the voice.
Yet, by the time she had run to the scene
only few hundred feet-there wasn't a
person I'm sight and she heard no one
running away.
