Inauguration Grand
Event, Say Those
Attending From Here
The inauguration of President Coo
lidge was a spectacular and glorious
event, according to Postmaster A. B
Dicker. Rev. T. L. Sasser and Mr
Ji hn Odell, who attended the ven
fr rr. Murphy.
These three stalwart Tarheel arrive?
.n the capita! city on the morning o1
March 3rd. and. according to inforj
mation given out on their return
found the ritv verv- mucK
ople from all part.- of the country
The city was one mas- of decorations
the national colors in flags and drap
erics heing disphyed from every win
How. shop, store building and resi
dence. The city was a veritable rec
white and blue flower garden.
They spent the greater part of th<
day sight seeing, visiting famouplaces
.such as the Washington Mon
ument, Mt. Vernon, Smithsonian In
-titute and National Museum, tht
Graphic Arts building, the Librarj
of Congress, the White House, anr
many other places of historic inter
est. They also visited the nationa
cone-res* while both the House of Representatives
and the Senate were in
s-esion, and were much impressed with
the law making hodv of the greattst
nation of the world.
On the 4th. the parade that followed
the inaugural speech of the Ilresident,
lasted for more than an hour
and will be long remembered. Mr.
Dickey says he was greatly impressed
by the great showing of horseflesh
and horsemanship of the Third Cavalry,
the horses all being one color,
buckskin, which was matched by the
uniforms of ihe riders. All three
were unanimous as to the wonderful
display and great showing of the parode,
which they say was beautiful beyond
description.
Mr. Dickey, Mr. Odelf and Mr. Susser
were nrivligcd to be close to tht1
[grandstand from which President
Cooli'lfte spoke, hearing: every word
that he uttered, being: as close as forty
or fifty feet. The keynote of Mr.
Coolidue's inaugrural address was
economy in government.
Mr. Dickey spent one day in Baltimore
while away, and he and Mr.
Ddell returned to Murphy the latter
tiari of lust wec-k. Mr. Kasscr spent
*eveial additional days in Virginia.
While there he visited the home of
Thomus Jefferson, "Monticeffo," at
"harlottsville, and the University of
Virginia, and enjoyed a trip through
the famous Shenandoah Valley. La-1
ter he visited the Foreign Mission
Board, and with a group of pastors
Attended a conference with the Governor
of Virginia and the head of the:
Department of Social Service of Virginia.
While in Richmond, he also
made a study of a number of churrh
buildings, with reference to their
structure, capacity and equipment."
Large Distillery Outfit
Captured Near Tomotla
A large distillery of a capacity of
about fifty or sixty gallons was raided
an captured Wednesday morning
about three milts southeast of Tomotla
on a water shed of the Valley
River by Chief of Police D. M. Birchfield,
Federal Prchibition Officer J.
Crisp, Sheriff B. B. Morrow, and
Deputy Sheriff J. A. Cearley.
The operators had evidently just
left as it was warm and there were
about two hundred gallons of beer
and mash and "pl^nty of malt on hand.
The officers lay in wait until late in
the afternoon but the parties supposedly
received a tip that they were
there and no one showed up.
After pouring out the beer ami
mash and destroying all other accesories,
they brought the still and
condenser into Murphy where it was
placed in a room of the jail
along side of a number of other historic
relics of prohibition days.
No arrests were made.
County Fishing Law

Engineering* at West Raleigh.
Mr. Gray ha* a pleasing personality.
He is easy to get acquainted
! with and know- farm conditions in
I Western North Carolina. He is a
native of Macon, our neighboring
j county to the east. His experience,
training, knowledge of Western North
I Carolina and his personality should
make for a successful career in thif
II county.
Mr. Gray is an indefatiguable work
er, but in order to make his work
successful from the beginning, he
must have the full co-operation of
the farmers of the ounty. Mr. Gray
' is living with Mr. R. R. Heal in the
western part of Murphy. He will
porbably have un office in the court
house and establish regular office
', hours, but most of his time will be
| spent in the field. He will reach all
parts of the county just as soon a*
possible. However, if any of the
I farmers have any particular problem
that they would like to have his aid
in solving, they should communicate
with him here at Murphy.
For the. first few days Mr. Gray
i will be engaged in signing up acreage
! to grow tomatoes for the proposej
cannery for Murphy. Any farmer lnj
terested the least in this matter should
; see Mr. Gray at once as the acreage
' must be signed up within the next
few days or it will be too Into to get
the seed sown and plants started.
If the farmers want a market for theiv
j tomatoes in the middle of the summer
when thry have nothing else to sell,
they should take advantage of this
opportunity.
