Annual Pisgah
Dear Hunt Will
Commence Mon.
1000 Allowed To Participate.
Will Remain Open Until
December 3.

The fifth annual public deer
hunt in the Pisgah National for
est near Asheville will start next
Monday, November z, and last
until December 8.
A total of 1000 hunters will be
allowed to participate in this big
hunt and it is reported that al
ready over 1900 have made ap-
plications.
Though bears may be taken
on the hunt, the main attraction
that will draw hunters to the g.
900 acre of hunting land will be
the odecoileus virginianus, which
in plain English is the Virginia
white tailed deer.
Although the hunt provides
sport, forest authorities plan it
for another purpose. The deer
and bear stocking on the forest
preserve is we'll over the carrying
capacity and, since their is not
enough winter food to support
the number of bear and deer on
the forest, the hunt must be held
to prevent starvation.
In the 1887 hunt, 700 deer and
10 bear were killed. The latest
census shows approximately A.
500 deer on the preserve and the
rate of increase is at minimum
of 1000 fawns each year. The
last census showed $50 black bear
on the preserve, about 30 over
the carrying capacity.
Although most hunters will use
guns, bows and arrows will be al
lowed in connection with all
hunts for those that desire to use
them. The hunts will be held in
three-day periods, with $50 hun
tiers participating in each period.
Each hunter will be required to
wear a red hunting cap while IN
the hunting area.
B. D. Barr and Thomas Bowie,
Jr., are expected to be among the
Ashe county sportsmen who will
take part in the big hunt.

When she came to New York,
she caused an uproar by going to
the swanky horse show in Madi-
son Square Garden and publicly
denouncing Mrs. Alfred Wander
bilt for wearing evening clothes.
Was Carry Nation crazy? Well
her daughter had to be shut up in
an insane asylum; and Carry may
not have been entirely sane her
self. But who is?
She did many beautiful things.
For example, her father died,
leaving lot of debts; fifteen years
later, she, paid those debts. She
didn't have to, and no one ex-
pected her to, but she did.
When Carry Nation first began
breathing fire on the plains of
Kansas, the anti-saloon move
ment was a weak, impotent affair.

The Eighth Commandment,
which is our Golden Text, reads,
Thou shalt not steal" Here the
sanctity of possessions is enpha-

priority of human rights over

Seek Wedge Jobs
.Pitkin COunsels
Ambitious Youth

Get yourself a wedge job!'
That's the advice Walter B. Pit
kin gives young people eager to
get a running start in life. Lum-
berjacks use wedges to topple
mighty trees, says the psycholo-
gist and author in the current Ro-
tartan Magazine, and youth can
use the same device to crack open
the doors of opportunity.
ITO get a wedge job, develop
an accessory Skill" Pitkin coun-
sells young men and women ex-
planning that high competence in
a low field is necessary first of
all. "You seek work that brings
you into close contact with some
man at or near the top. The work
must be humble. But your skill
at it must be, as the movie adver-
tisements say, supercolossal, II
not positively mastodontic."
Many of today's 'big shots"
started as aides to private Sec
retaries, then became private Sec
tetaries, then executive secretar-
.}Ses, and so on up, he says. For
that reason mastery of stenog-
graphy, bookkeeping, or a similar
skill give a young person with
ability and ambition an unparal-
leled opportunity to learn about
company trends and conditions.
AS he makes himself useful In
small jobs, bigger jobs will come
to him.
Law may be a wedge skill, Pit
kin informs impoverished young
attorneys looking for clients. BY
studying new and proposed laws
as they affect a specific business
an able lawyer may create a job
for himself. Facilities in writ
ing may enable a young man to,
make technical reports and sclen-
tific abstracts readable to the
public and thus make himself
useful to an industry. Door-to-
door selling, mechanics, photog-
raphy, and many another skill
NAV be used to serve similar
purpose.
mo skill, well mastered, is too
slim or inconsequential to be
laughed off, if you think hard
enough about how to use it as a
wedge" concludes Pitkin. use
it ingeniously, not to begin at
the bottom and work up, but to
crack into the big stuff with
small tool"

At the same time it is clear that
the worlds goods are distributed
with a shocking lack of loyalty
to both common sense and fair
play.
Experts insist that the 200 larg-
est American corporations control
1870 or more of the entire bust
ness wealth of the nation. There
is an abundance of similar sta
tistical testimony indicative of
the unhealthy concentration of
ownership in the hands of the
relatively few.
In the face of this inequity it is
no wonder that the Eighth Com
mandment seems a kind of mock
cry to the ill-fed, ill-clothed one
third of our people, close to
twelve million of whom are out
of work. When wealth is made
available for all, on principles of
social justice, our Commandment
will arouse much more respect

Carry Nation, A Cyclone In
PetticOatS Who Startled
meri ca.

On January 81, 1901, one Of the
most sensational women in Amer
lean history walked down the
streets of Wichita, Kansas, sing
ing "Onward Christian Soldiers"
She had a Ratchet in her hand
and when she reached Jim Burns
saloon on Douglas Avenue, she
rushed in through the swinging
doors, waved her Ratchet in the
air and shouted: ''This is the arm
of God. have come to save you
men from a drunkard's hell"
The customers fled out of the
side door.
The bartender ducked behind a
table, while Carry Nation threw
beer bottles at the mirrors and
smashed in the heads of whiskey
barrels with her Ratchet. In
few minutes, the place looked as
if it had been struck by Kansas
cyclone.
And it had. It had been struck
by cyclone in petticoats.
Carry Nation, the Joan of Arc
of prohibition, was in the war
path and telegraph wires and
cables flashed the news all over
the world.
By her fiery and spectacular
crusades, she helped arouse the
indignation that made national
prohibition possible seventeen
years later.
Carry Nation had good and suf-
ficient reasons for despising the
saloon. Whiskey had broken up
her home. Her husband had died
a drunkard's death, leaving her
penniless, with a baby to support.
When she was dragged into
court, she insisted in acting as
her own attorney and when the
judge quoted the laws of Kansas
she cried: eve are going to try it
according to the laws of Ecclesi-
astes." And then she would stand
up and begin reading her bible.
When the judge told her to sit
down she SNAPPED back at him,
Don't you tell me to sit down.
I'm old enough to be your
mother"
Four years after her first hus-
band died, she married David
Nation, a newspaper editor, far
mer and preacher. She thought
their marriage was an answer to
prayer. David Nation finally be-
came pastor of church in Hol-
ton, Kansas.
But Carry felt she knew more
about preaching than her hus-
band did so she chose his texts
for him and often wrote his ser
mons. While David stood in the
pulpit trying to inspire his little
flock, Carry sat in the front row
and told him inaudible tones
when to raise and lower his voice
when to speel it up and where to
gesture.
When she thought he had
preached long enough, she would
step out into the aisle and say in
a loud voice: "That will be all
for today, David" If he didn't
stop preaching Immediately she

marched right up to the pulpit,
banged the Bible shut under his
nose, handed him his hat and told
him to go home.
After a few months Ct this, the
Church Board asked their pastor
to resign and he did so with pleas
sure.

"HS testimony was material, but
his absence will in no way impede

tonight to resolve to free this country
from all oppressive dictation," whether
by government, industry, finance or
labor
Addressing the annual New York
State Young Republican Clubs conven-

cratic party, derives from Thomas

and the enemy of omnipotent PLAN

oppression as WELL" he said.

Of the Republican party" the 1896
Republican standard bearer declared
that the party might attract practical
liberals" by opposing oppression.

The party, he continued, must re-
solve to free this country from all op-
pressive dictation, whether by bureau
cratic official or financier, whether by
industrialist or by labor leader,
whether by public money or by private
money, whether by the force Of the
militia or by the force of the mob.
If the Republican party can take
so broad and honest a view of its
mission" he continued, "it will last
through a multitude of years. 1t will
stand as a bulwark against hitherto
unknown oppression in America. 1t
will be of immeasurable service in time
of need"
He continued: Il don't want to see
the pendulum swing back to the DOM
inant rampant individualism OF old.
Neither do I want to see it swing
toward the complete elimination Of in
diWdualism with the destruction OF
all the precious freedom that makes
democracy.
None of us wants to see society
ruled by Fascist or bureaucratic gov
ernment on the one hand, or by the
power of money on the other. The

economic security either way"
