Of Historical Valu#
The music building had been
valued by the college and the
people of the community, quite
ag much from an historical view
point, as from its material con
tribution to the college plant,
since it was the nucleus of the
present college, was built in
1899 by public subscription, as
the first step in the dream of the
Dougherty brothers to establish
an outstandingly useful educa
tional plant in this community.
Dr. Dougherty recalls that the
huge frame structure which con
tained six big rooms and an
auditorium, was built by dona
tions of from $5 to $100 by people
of Boone and the sections round
about. that labor in many cases
was donated, and teams used
without cost in bringing lumber
to the building site. He recalls
that the lumber was bought at
$4.50 per 1000, that the weather
boarding, floors and ceiling were
hand-planed, Granville Sherrill,
John Culler, and Wilson Beach
being some of the builders em
ployed.
The structure was first used as
a public school, and later when
the State established the Appala
chian Training School was taken
over by that institution.
The art building, the second
permanent type structure to be
elected on the campus, was built
by the State in 1908, at a cost of
$20,000. The building was of
brick, contained twelve rooms,
and for many years was used as
class room space for the higher
grades in the Training School.

An Appreciation
I wish to express my sincere thanks to the people of Wat
auga County for their support in the recent election,
which resulted in my re-election as sheriff of Watauga
county.
There has been some criticism from the people in the town
of Boone because I do not help police the town. As we
have an officer to patrol the town, 1 do not feel that it is
my place to do so, However, 1 will gladlly co-operate in
any way with the city policemen and town officials.
Some complaint has reached me to the effect that home
brew is being made in the county. According to the law,
someone must make an affidavit of the percentage of al
cohol in the home brew or wine before 1 have the official
authority to capture same.
? o
Any time that I c^ui render any assistance or service to my
good friends and citizens of Watauga county, please do
not fail to call on me.
C. M. Watson,
Sheriff of Wat&ga County.
