PRAISES GuARDSMEN

The Tennessee national guards
men have proven their ability to
protect lives and property was the
statement OF Lieutenant Colonel H.
M. Gambler last night. In my opin
ion, it was their preselce in Knox
vile which proved 70 be the margin
of safety guarding against possible
outbreaks last Monday following
the disorder Of the day before"
Col. Gambler has been left in di-
rect command Of the 500 Tennessee
guardsmen now in Knoxville, having
assumed control with the depart
ment of General E. B. Sweeney who
left last mig ht for Nashville, where
he is to remain on official business
until Friday,
Col. Gambler went into some de-
tails explaining the development of
the state national guard, and de-
clared that their value as an ele-
ment 10 put down suddenly rising
disorders, and to prevent outbreaks
| has been proved.
The Tennessee state guard today
is not the green and UNFRAMED
youths which composed that organ
ization at one time" he said. 1T i:

that of the 800 state guards il

JACKSON COUNTY
By HAZEL BATTLE

D4 HAZEL DATTLE
The article printed below is a
composition on Jackson County,
which took first premium at one of
the Community Fairs held this fall.
Jackson county is located in the
Blue Ridge and Smoky mountains
of Western North Carolina. 1t is
completely surrounded by high
mountains.
The scenery is very inspiring.
Among the most beautiful scenes
in the county is large and famous
mountain known as white Side
One side of this mountain is preci-
piious rock with an altitude of about
two thousand feet. Rocky Face" is
another picturesque old mountain
peak; "Tuckaseigee Falls" with an
altitude Of one hundred sixty-fveI
feet and in the mist around the base
Of which the rainbow fingers sever
al hours each day is unsurpassed in
grandeur. These are visited by an
increasing number OF tourists each
year.
ln 1851 Haywood county was di-
vided into two counties. The new
one was given the name jackson"
III honor of General Andrew Jack
sen. the seventh president of the
United States.
When the county was organized
there was only one school of two
months duration in what is now
jackson. This school was at Qualla.

with the hoe. The result of which
