XXVI, No. 47.1 THE OPENING DAY AT Wednesday rrtorning, September 3rd, Nacoochee Institute, in the beautiful Nacoochee Valley, White County, opened its doors for the twenty-first year of school work. If “well begun is half done” still holds true, Nacoochee will have a good year. The eager, enlhuiastic faces of the large and promising student body, together with those of earnest parents and interesting friends bespoke oneness of purpose and loyal co-operation. The house was crowded. Chairs were in the aisles. Upon the plat¬ form on one side sat the faculty and on the other side lion. J. R. Lumsden with two distinguished visitors, Col. William Lawson Peel and Mr. W. S. Witluim, Sr., ot Atlanta. Rev. J. K. Coit, the Superin¬ tendent, presented Mr. Lumsden as the father of Nacoochee Institute and for twenty years a faithful trustee. Mr. Lumsden br ought an earnest message to the young people, speaking of his own satis¬ faction in the steady growth of the school. Cot. Peel, lover of young people, was the next speaker. He told ot his interest in the Young Harris College and The Georgia Militurj Academy, College Park. lie urged the young people to deter tniued effort to be something and to earnest concentration and thorough¬ ness in all their studies, “Do nothing carelessly.” “Understand what each word means and then you will keep it.” Courteous!/ acceding to the re¬ quest of Mr. Coit, Col. Pee! gave the young people some glimpses of his own boyhood days. “Raised on a farm twenty mile* from a railroad I learned how to do every thing that was to be done.” We saw him at the age of tnirteen driving u four mule team loaded with cotton, camping at night by the roudside with only a cur dog for companion and pi elector. We saw him in a country store where his partner gave him opportunitj to do two boy’s work which lie eagerly embraced, resulting in the early dismissal of the other fellow. Col. Peel’s messages were par¬ ticularly fitting at Nacoochee where the students labor and the dignity of labor is upheld. Mr. W. S. William, Sr., was the next speajier. His large in¬ vestments in the education of young people endeared him to the hearts ot everybody. “Uncle Billy” spoke in his own peculiar, happy style. He pled for more real scholars who can speak to the ghosts of superstition, ignorance, disease and sin. “Your personality is your only capital.” And as the old negro once *aid,”I want to be what I is, and not what I ain’t, 'cause if I is wnat I ain’t then I ain't what I is.” He pled for sincerity and earnest¬ ness and urged the young people to remember that “nothing in life is worth living for except the good I can do and there is nothing in life worth having that is not worth giving to another.” He closed by pointing all to the one and only sppree qf help—“The Fountain filled Witli Blood-” Mr. B. H. Stone and Mr. Lyle, u contractor on the mountain part of the highway in Union county, passed through Cleveland since our last issue on their way to Atlanta. Mr. Lyle stated that he would be in the gap of the mountain by Oct. ist. Mrs. Penhallegon left Tuesday morning after spending several days here. Devoted to the Agricultui 1, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County Cleveland High School Opens Wilh Record Attendance Patrons Demonstrate Deep Interest Cleveland High School Monday, Sept., 8th, with largest attendance tn its history, and prospects indicate one of most successful years. The large attendance of present manifested interest and thusiasm and expressed deep cern in the school and confidence in Supt. Wilson tfie faculty. Col. Thos, F. Underwood, Chairman of the Board of acted as chairman. After order America was sung by splendid audience. Invocation was given by Rev. Win. Greenway. Col. Underwood told of the trying conditions the boarc had labored under and asked for deeper concern in the sciioot by the patrons and pleaded for their co-operation. Col, C. II.

Underwood told of the great possibilities of today. And the many more advantages the youth has in securing an edu¬ cation. Hard study and good con¬ duct in the school house by the pupil is paving the way to good citizenship he said. Col. A. II. Henderson in his address warmly landed the head the school. He asked how much interest is manifested by the pat trons? He told the boys and girls that they were capable of doing anything they undertake. Col. M. A. Allison and Rev. Win. Greenway pleaded with the boys and girls to study hard and obey tneir teacher. Mrs. J. II. Telford and A. L. Dorsey pledged their support. Miss Tuggle, sent here by the State College, talked of the advan¬ tages her work would be to the girls. Prof. Wilson in his address told his (fearers that he was glad to be head of the school. lie was born Tennessee but came to Georgia 20 years ago and married a Georgia girl. lie said that if he failed to make a good showing that it would be nothing short of a tragedy with the confidence the board and people have in him. He said when his school flours were over he would not sit down, but would be on the Job to do anything for the better¬ ment of the town and community. Prof, Wilson asked for co-opera¬ tion and assistance that bis desire may be fully carried out. He is deeply interested in the boys and girls and wants to see them climb. As a man is not infaliable he said that if any mistakes occurred it would be from the head and not from the heart. If correction is uecessary be certainly would not hesitate, but assured the parents that it would be for the good. He desires to elevate the moral conduct of the boys and that lie would live a life that would be a patern for them to follow, and above reproach. He said he was here to make this school the best in the state. The enrollment tor the first day reached 220. Miss Bessie Westmoreland left last Saturday for Cedartown, where she will teach this year. Mr. Ed Trotter will leave the latter part of this week for Frank¬ lin, N. C., where he goes to accept a position in a drug store. CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEl’T. 12 1924. This Pullman sleep is not pleasant, yet it is better spending part of a night in a Well, we were tired and soon asleep. The Pennsylvania Railroad has wonderful system. They have tracks from Newt York to ton, Del. 'The water used in the boiler of the locomotive is sucked from a concrele trough that is in the center of the track til about the same distance as. the water tanks used by railroads in the South. These troughs are between one-half and a mile long, we judge. Be¬ tween Washington and New York one would think he is in a city all I he while. It is very thickly jopu lated. We arrived in New York next morning in the great Pennsyl¬ vania terminal and went direct to the Pennsylvania Hotel, which is just across the street. This hotel is the largest in the world. This was our first visit fo New York City. Afler we found where to register and when assigned a room we went up to look it over. This big hotel’s manager is a fine fellow. We met him when M. Knecht, ot Ee Matin, Paris, entertained our bunch. Managing a 2000 room hotel is no easy job. We made our way down 33rd street to Broadway then to Times Square, where we seated ourselves and took a view of uptown New York, in a* sight-seeing car includ¬ ing the tashionuble multi-million¬ aires “hang outs,” The guide poin ed out where John D. Rock feliovv, Vanderbilt’s and others live on the famous Fifth Ave., of up¬ town New York. Then by Columbia University Ic the fashionable Riverside Drive on the Hudson River, stopping for a few minutes to view Grant’s tomb. From Times Square vve took a down-town sight-seeing bus, which took us into the famous Wail stieet district, Bond street, Trinity Church, Woohvortli building and Chinatown. Here we left the bus to go up tli narrow street of Chinatown, There are somewhere around 3000 binese living in New York. But a were really sur¬ prised at New York’s Chinatown, It is not as large as we expected to see. The guide took us in some of the old opidtn # place, which made a rather creepy feeling come over most of the bunch. New York's Chinatown is widely known tor its crimes. We entered Chinese church where the idols were worshipped. Tile guide ex¬ plained the form of this worship, especially did he stress the Chinese wedding. You know a Chinese girl never knows her fiance. Her father and the boy’s father do the trading. So you see money is in¬ volved. While we were in China¬ town we viewed a Chinese funeral possession, a postoftice and saw a Masonic lodge. Usually Chinese are very quite people. On our return the guide pointed out where A 1 Smith was born, and he still maintains the house. New York is a city of t^ill build¬ ings. Manhattan Island is not so large, but on this small aera is placed more real wealth than in any other spot iti thp world. The traffic system is well managed. Riding by the Woolwcrth building and looking up at this very tall structure almost makes a ertek in one’s neck. By this time we de¬ cided vve could get around in New York without much assistance. Really, New York is easy for strangers to get around, provided they know where they want to go. New York’s subway is difficult. Too bad they don’t have a more simpler system. We wouldn’t think of telling you our experience on the New York subway. Visiting big cities and observing the system of big firms one is re- ASISKSTOS BUZZINt Mr. John Sosebee, of Habersham Mills, was visiting here Sunday. Miss FreddiqJackson,of Atlanta, is now visiting relatives here. Messrs. Frank and Tom Turner and their families were in this section last Sunday. Several from here attended the baptizing at Blue Creek last Sun day, Mr. C. A, Thurmond is now making syrup for the public. Mr. Irvin Pardue has found some attraction in this part for he can be seen every Sunday. Some from here are helping rip up steel on Town Creek lor Morse Bros, \\ e had a light shower here Monday night. We are looking tor the equinoctial gale about the 2 tsf o! this month. There is generally much rain about that time. There will be no excuse if the young of today fail to get at least the element ot an English educa¬ tion. We sometimes think that education is too free for if there was some expense attached it would be appreciated more. The door of opportunity stands wide open to ail—the rich and poor. But at last it depends upon our¬ selves where we will be educated. Every tub stands on its own bottom. There were some excuses for our fathers tailing to get an education. They came up during the bloody sixties. minded of how great it would be if everybody could but only see them there would be considerable more patience among the people of the small towns. But with all the system of a big business it: is utter ally astounding to know just how little some of the employees know about the other departments. We had a little ol such experience in the office of the U. S. Linss at 45 Broadway, This office had one man who hud charge of the issuing of tickets to Veterans. The ticket was identically the same as any other ocean ticket. This man knew his job, but the application of ticket had to go through one or two other offices before it reached the cashier, who issued tickets. Here J saw just how little the other departments knew about Mr. Lane’s department. My trans¬ portation was being paid by the Georgia Society in New York City and I bad a letter from the U. S. Lines office in Atlanta stating that my ticket was at 45 Broadway and to call for it. I got it settled after getting Mr. Lane to fully explain in person to the manager ot each department. Oh! well, it all goes to show no peison knows it all. We went to Liegfield Follies, but could only secure standing room. At the intermission we shook hands with Major John S, Cohen, editor of The Atlanta Journal. Mr. Cohen was with Mr. McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo and his family sailed for Europeon the same day we did. Will Rogers was at iris best that night at the Follies. Will has a ranch in California, and being a good friend to Mr. McAdoo, pull ed some good ones on him. Well, yes, the Follies do have some wonderful scenes. Mr. Tollie Allen’s mother, Airs. Nora Stillwell, and sister, Miss Lucile Barnes, of Long View,Tex., are on a visit seeing how Tollie is enjoying life. Messrs. Bryant, Tollie Jackson and D. G. Head are on a (rip to Florida this week, [PRICE *1.50 A VEAL IN ADVANCE Dorsey, Bell and Harris Win By Big A. L.

J like to tee a man live in it <0 that his place is proud of him.”—Abraham Lincoln. J. H. Telford says,“you Can’t be too careful how you slap a man on the hip these days.” Correct you are, we noticed a few days ago where a Virginia man slapped his friend on the hip and the poor fellow had some dynamite caps in his pocket and the pesky things exploded causing one mail to lose an arm and the other part of his hip. Moral : Be careful. W . M» McGhee gays “‘talking calamity isn’t good for anyone.” Precisely correct. Calamity howl¬ ers aren’t welcomed anywhere or by anybody. Loeb and Leopold, Jr., the thrill murders say:‘-There is no happiness in murder.” So awful they could not have learned it be¬ fore now, VVe wonder if their parents aren’t somewhat responsi¬ ble, Boys should be taught from infancy. And il rightly taught • hey will follow the right course in life. “Train up a child in the way it should go and when it’» old it won’t depart.” This bibical pas¬ sage is true.
