PUSHING The BEE-KEEPING work

Raleigh. N. C. July 9-Mr. C.L.
Sans. Specialist in Beekeepine, is
this week engaged in holding local
meetings of beekeeker in the coun.
ties OF CASTOR, Lincoln. Burke. and
Mcdowell, and will then continue
the trip into the counties of Madi-
son, Buncombe, and perhaps Yam
cey.
In view of the sugar shortage
which will evidently continue seri.
Gus for years. all beekeepers are
advised to manage their hards for
higher production of honey, and
also to increase the number of their
colonies. At the same time con-
sumers are urged to use honey as a
substitute for sugar. A careful and
conservative calculation, based on
certain known facts. indicates the
surprising fact that at least 1000
tons of honey. the most healthful
sweet known. went to waste in
North Carolina in 1917.

Sylvia, N. c., July 10, 1918.
jackson County Journal: al:-Please
allow us space to thank the good
people of Sylvia and elsewhere for
their many acts of kindness during
the sickness and death of our pre-
cious daughter, Bessie Mae. And
especially do we thank all fo7 the
favors done and the expressions of
kindness shown Bessie Mae during
her sickness. all of which she SEEM
ed to appreciate so much. There
will ever be a tender place about
our hearts for each and every kind
attention given Bessie by any one.
No letters of coincidence, no ex-
pressions either by words or acts,
no power on earth can fill the place
made vacant by the death of Bessie
Mae. Joy las been turned into
sorrow, our hearts made to pain
beyong expression and the home to
look desolate.
But after all there is a gleam of
comfort in the thought that friends
are sympathizing with US; that they
are sharing our sorrOws. But for
friends life would only be the more
dreary.
Yours affectionately,
j. B. Ensley and Family.

THE POOREST COUNTY "A MISUNDERSTANDING

Below is a letter from Hon. T. J.
Harkms, Of Asheville, to Hon. Geo
W. Sutton, of this city. which is sell
explanatory:
July S. 1913.
Mr.. George W. Sutton, Attorney,
Sylvia, N. C.
Dear Sir:-It has come to me
from two or three different sources
within the past few days, that | was
billed to make a Patriotic and War
Savings Stamp speech in Sylvia
Thursday June 9th, and that quite
a crowd of the people of that COM
munity assembled at the Court
House at the time advertised, to
hear me.
cannot tell you how sorry am
to have had such a thing occur, and
| assure you, and those who were
good enough to come out expecting
to hear me, that l was in no way to
blame. The local Chairman of the
W. 5. S. campaign asked me if |
could 60 to Sylvia on the 9th and
Biyson City on the 26th, and told
him that ] would be very glad, in
deed, to fill the appointments at
these places. He then stated that
he would take the matter up with
the Committee at Sylvia and Bryson
City, and see whether or not a
meeting could be arranged, and that
he would let me know if he was
able to arrange the meetings on the
dates mentioned. He left town the
next day, and not hearing from him
| very naturally assumed that it
was found impracticable to hold the
meetings. He simply forgot to
notl1y me that the meetings had
been arranged.
Again expressing my regrets and
assuring you that when | heard of
what had taken place, l was more
disappointed than these who attend
ed the meeting could have been, for
| should have been very glad to
have filled the appointment had l
known it had been made.
With best wishes, l am,
Very truly yours
THos. J. HARKINs.

In: poorest county after the wal
will be that county that did least in
an effort to raise its quota in Wal
Savings Stamps. 1t makes little
difference as to what the county is
worth now. Unless it provides
against that period of financial de.
preston that follows every war
according to history, it will be hard
nit, and for the reason it failed to
protect itself against this period by
failing to take advantage of what
the Government had provided for
it.
There are two features of the
War Savings plan which provide
particularly against the reconstruct
ton period. One is tire investing of
all spare money in Government
securities-War Savings Stamps
which is to be returned with inter-
terest at the end of four years from
next January. The other, which is
better if anything, is that virtue
that comes from being trained in
habits of thrift and saving, that
foresight and distinction that leads
to wise spending and INTELLIGENT
saving.
These two Notifications, an aver
age saving of twenty dollars per
capita and disposition on the part
of the peaple to practice thrift and
save against non essentials as well
as extravaganza, will 60 long way
toward taking care of any county
or township in adversely. The
county or people who have nothing
in the way of returned loans COM
ing to them from the Government
after the war. or who have not
learned to save, and have not ac-
quired that habit of providing for
the future and unforeseen adversi-
ties, will be the poorest of poor peo-
pie after the war. They will be
poor not only in the things of this
world but in those finer and more
enduring qualities. The worst of
these will be the of that sense of
patriotic services gratefully render
ed. When the war is won and the
deeds of heroes are being sung, no
feeling will be so treasured and no
pleasure SO keen as that conscious
ness of having answered gratefully
and willingly every call of the coun-
try in its hour of neel.

FROM A JACKSON
BOY IN ENGLAND

Dear Mother: just received the
journal today. Sure was clad to
get 1t. and to read the news of the
jackson people. Was especially in
terested in the letters from the bows
On this side. Am very sorry that I
havnt been able to see any of them
as they were passing through Lon
don. But then we never know when
the Yanks are coming; neither does

have worked every night this week
but two. One of these l went to
the London Hippodroma, the other
to French class. A Belgian lady is
teaching French to about twenty of
us. She was a lady-in-waitine to
the Queen of Belgium, and speaks
French very fluently, as well as
English. think very soon she will
be speaking United States prettv
good.
Last Sunday l went out to the
---Camp and had a nice
flight in an Aeroplane. An Eng
lish Major took me up. 1 think il
was one of the most exciting rides
l ever had. We were in one of the
fastest types of English Bombing
Planes. AS soon as we were off the
ground, we began circling upward.
lhe green fields were falling away
from us at a tremendous rate of
speed. At 5000 feet the country
below began to look like a GREAT
colored map. and the atmosphere
was so thin as to make breathins
rather difficult for me, being unused
to the conditions, and perhaps lust
a little bit excited. But the Pilot
kept going higher and higher. Att
0OOO it. we seemed to be directly
over London, which looked like an
immense checker board that had
had an accident. l could see the
streets, railroads, and river, and the
largest buildings. We kept on up
until | could see the old Atlantic on
one side and the channel on the
other, and could make out every
town of any size in the southern
part OF England. The upward climb
wa nice compared to the descent
After two or three loops and a short
tall spin, the engine was shut off
and we began to descend in ereat
spiral loop, while the ground was
rushing to meet us much faster
than we had left. We had a nice
smooth landing and found myself
safe on old Mother Earth once
more. The Major shook hands with |
me and Said he hoped l had Jolly |
well enjoyed the little spin" and if |
l would come back out he would
take me for a real ride. Am going |
the next chance | have.
l was due my 1st Gold Service |
Stripe the 23rd of May, having been |
IN the war zone just six months
then, so as soon as l can get an or !!
der from my c. O.I will be sporting
one. l saw some soldiers who were
wearing two, and had had them
nearly two weeks, so you see there
have been American soldiers over
here for more than year.
Well, as don't know much more
to write, will close and 20 out and
try to rustic up something to eat.
Give my love to all, and best reeards
to the neighbors.
With lots of love,
Your son
