In the past it has been customary to hold only one cleanupcampaign during the year, hut this seems insufficient In the course of a year much debris and refuse matter can accumulate and become an eye sore. The business part of town Is cleaned up twice a week, hut obviously it 1? impossible to visit al) residential section# very often. The sanitary department goes to houses whenever they are notified of an accumulation of waste material. On Tuesday, however, every residential section will be visited and all residents having refuse nuuter t? be removed should have it collected and piled near the street so that it can be easily gotten. It takes co-?pc ration on the part of all the people to make these clean up days successful. STACEYS DECISION RATHER than to head the law school of 4 great University, Justice W. P. Stacev nrefers n>mai? ? Supreme Court, so he told a committee of the Trustees of the University of >?orlh Carolina a few days ago, after having considered their tender of the deanship of the law school. Those whu know Justice Stacey and those who wish well for th* ir State University are sorry that this brilliant young legal mind could not see hi.? way clear to heading the law school. Those who know with what capacity the late M. H. Stacey presided over the University's academic school could form a mental conception of the brilliancy whit which this younger member of ||e Staccyfamily would have guided the destinies of the school of law. CHIMNEY ROCK DEVELOP./ENT WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. Inc. a non-stock company organized to development and advertise Western North Carolina, has recently made public in a lengthy article an outline of a plan to develop a large resort section about Chimney Rock. The development conten^plaies a huge lake in the natural gorge at the rock, which will supply power for lighting the development and a surplus for transmission to other points. The lake will be a place of amusement for fishing, boating and other water sports. "Lake Lure" is the fascinating name already given the proposed lake, which will cove 1,500 acres and have a shore line of 27 miles. Golf links, polo grounds, tennis courts, an elevator to carry passengers to the top of the rock, trails to the top of the mountains, tw? hotels and other developments are i contemplated in the immediate future. I W1 * THE CHI This is only one of many such develop* meets that may be looked for in this mountain country in the next few years. There i are no natural lakes in the mountains but therq are many possibilities of constructing them and when the food roads are com pitted. they will be constructed. Pleasure seekers want water for the pleasure it affords; then love the cool breezes of the mountains ?nu the wuur.v.- and r:atura> beauty of the mountains. Man must maintain the natural beauty and supplement it by the building of lakes and other artif:c:u: developments. "Lake Lure" n:. :r.t r.. .u anywhere in this mountain i ^.io. \ uld draw people.

State was twentv years ahead of her sister ^ /thern Stat:*, which led her in nearly every field of endeavor a quaiter of ? century. Attendants up< n the recent American I Legion Convention in San Fracisco have I brought back word thut the Tar Heel StaleI was better reprtseted there than many of 'the Southern States and the opinion was ox ' pressed that this was an evidence of the pro1 gressive spirit of the State. , Sale-men of all kinds find the North Car, olina field fertile for peddling their wares, j j Depression following the war wag driven j from the borders of North Carolina by the) , road program undertaken in 11*19, which put into circulation thousands upon thousands' of dollars af-?l Rave employment to those who could not find work. One of the latest pronouncements upon North Carolina progress and prosperity was I that voiced by a drug salesman of the United Drug Company, who used these words: North Carolina, as our Tarheels nuiy have h' ard, \vj1o are staying at home instead of running away to other states, I is just now very much in the public eye. You at home here do riot apprrciaate. perhaps, :h utsid, view* of North Carolina and the astonishing change of opinion which the outside world has formed of your state in the past few years. Everywhere you hear people freaking of its development, its great wealth, its potential wealth. and its bright prospects for the future. You of course under-tand that people at the head of big business entrprisos .. v.o.n . .. rcss and prosperity is located on the | business map and there's: many a man outside of your stat. who hat. intimate and accurate knowledge of how North Carolina has waked up in the past few year- and is almost leading the van of progress, if not being entitled to the j ! lead in the procession. VIOLENCE WHEN a mechanic wishes to screw a nut or a bolt he goes about the business J gently, as the villian in melodrama handles the knob of the safe. ' Ht? adjusts the nut with precision before endeavoring to advance it. it if rebels, he removes it and applies a little oil. Ht has learned that violence pays no dividends. The amateur, on the contrary, will adju-t the nut hastily and endeavor to urive it forward while it leans awry. When it rebels he will seize a wrench; and do violence to the threads to prove him- i self the master. A child, wishing t0 drag a chair through a doorway, will not present the chair's narrowest width to the opening. It will seize the chair by the corner and when th*. rocker catches against the side of the doorway it will jerk and pull, and at last in desperation howl for parental assistance in over vomiiin uic cnair s mncrent siuooomnrss. Back in 1914 there was an ugly matter to settle. The settlement required cool heads afid common sense, and1 nothing more. But powerful men wh0 had an interest In the matter took counsel of their feelings and their desires and appealed to force for i a settlement, so that the world was a travail ' so many years that men forgot what thing it was that brought about the crisis. Cool heads and common sense could have prevented* the occupation of the Ruhr; but again feelings triumphed over sound judgement and violence was made party to the problem. As a result Germany is the poo*- f er by untold millions of dollars, and Frarce { and her allies are the poorer by many mil- < EROICEE SCOUT.

Mountain Baptist Church five miles fror Asheville. N. C. While in my study a ma walked upon the porc^ and called for me I went out and as I fared a fine Isckinj man he said: "I am looking for soniebou; to pray for mo." I said: "You have fount the right fellow; let's go." He and a fried of his. and me walked to about a quarter of a mile and made our wa; into a weave shop of the French Broa? Manufacturing Co., and bowed between twi looms. The man who had asked me to pra; for him was converted in a few minutes, an< he was no other except Harve Stanberry, th railroad preacher. Harve did some great work last summer and I am asking the editor for a little spac to give a brief nummary of his work. He preached at Allen's Creek Church, nea Hazlewood. N.

We have> one fire ! ? truck and an electric siren alarm. ' The health officers are very efficient in looking after the health of the people and " preventing diseases, while the police force < is composed of men who are not afraid to do their duty. The town also has in its employ an elee-1 trician. who looks afteh the lights; a water 3 superintendent, who manages the distribu- 1 tion of water; also street clean* rs. who are ' required to remove all rubbish from the streets twice a week.

' Our mayor is a youtig man. who is rr? 1 spec ted by all good citizens and a man who ' * is very much interested in th nrogress of ' the town, and is not afraid to enforce the < law. The town council consists of men who are God-fearing at.d who l ack every good move- 1 iiu nt, and who back the mayor in the enter- ' prises of the town. The policemen are men who fear no one 1 r? and who stand for law and order. The people arc required to obey all laws in general and to park their cars in the mid- i3 die of the street and to respect all health j laws. We have the best school this year that has ever existed in Murphy. Our superintendent J 5 is a stern man and i^ backed by a capable faculty. There are over five hundred pupils enrolled this year and fourteen teacft- ' * rs employed to give instruction. We have several Industrie', mcrt of which ? pertain to lumber.
