County Fair Plans
Gotten Under Wayj
Definite plans were gotten under j
way a few days ago for holding the1
annual Cherokee County Fair this
fall. The officers and executive committee,
representing every part cf the
i.cm m unci- uuur sc?uin in
the office of the county agent and
worked out some of the major plans
for the event. It was the unanimous
consent of all present that this should
be the biggest single event of the
year for this portion of the county.
Attending the meeting were W. M.
Fain, President. B. W. Sipe Secretary,
and the .following members of
the Execution Committee: Messrs.
J. U. Shackelford, B. L. Fox, A. E.
Sudderth, T. W. Cole, and J. F. Palmer.
County Agent W. R. Gray lent
bis presence and advice. Also, other*
dropped in from time to time and
offered suggestions. It was the aim
of the Execution Committee to adopt
such plans and regulations as to put
the Fair on a sound basis and so as
to meet the. approval of the greatest
numbfr of people, stated members of
the committee to a representative of
this paper.
Of major interest to the public
probably will be the announcement

that the dates for the fair were definitely
determined as October 14.
15 and 16th. This is about two or
three weeks later than the fair last
year, and it is believed that it is far ^
enough away from the equinox as to
reasonably assure good weather. j
A premium list was worked out.1
The total premiums will not amount
to as much as was offered last year,
but it is the hope of the officers and j
committees, it was stated this w.jt-k, I
that the fair would be able to pay the
premium list this year and possibly j
pafrfhr all of the unpaid premium list_
-- If I L. : i
"* " V,,t I" CIIIIUIIU3
cannot be paid this year, the record
will be ?tept and paid in the future
if oppbrole. Rain last year greatly
cut the gate receipts and therefore.
made it impossible to meet the premium
list. The catalogues will be sent
to the printer within the next few
days and should be ready for distribut.
ion by the middle of August, it was
stated.
The committee recognized that all
shows and amusement; features, could
not be birred from the grounds and
yet make a success of the fair, but in (
line with the desire* of a good manyi
, people, rtles were adopted that would
limit the kind of attractions allowed

years ago.
He has held a number of the highest
appointments in the Western

evangelists in the bounds of Southern
Methodism.
"We are very fortunate in securing
the services of Mr. Abcrnethy," j
stated the pastor, Mr. Rhinehart the |
other day, "as hti is greatly in demand!
all over the state and South."
Local Methodists are looking forward
to a great meeting during August

round about will avail themselves
of the opportunity of hearing this
great expounder of the gospel.
Special music under a comprjtent
leader will feature all the services. |
and every effort is being put forth?
to make this part of the services a
success. A cordial invitation is ex- {
tended to everybody regardless of j
denominational affiliations to participate
in the services to tht< end
that great and lasting good will be
accomplished.

ROAD MEETING
HELD AT COURT
HOUSE MONDAY
A lively road meeting was
held in the courthouse Monday afternoon
at which time the matter of the
completion of Number 10 highway
from Murphy to Asheville and the
selection of a road from Murphy to
the Tennessee State line were diseuess
ed. The meeting was a rotralt of a
feeling among sr.me cf the people ?*f
tha county that the road program
was not being prosecuted as cxnedit
lousiy as it might be, and probably
was directly precipitated by an article
published last week over the signature
of Attorney John H. Dillard. in which
it was statrd that Cherokee County
and southwestern North Carolina
were apparently not being treated
fairely ir. the road building program.
Quite a number from all parts of
the county gathered for th? meeting
in the courthouse. The meeting was
organized by the ejection of former
[ Senator G. B. Walker as Chairman
! and Mr. G. W. Car.dler as Secretary.
| Mr. Dillard was called upon to explain
the object of the meeting. He
stated that he did not know whether
i h could explain the object of the
meeting or not. but that he did have
[ some matters to mention, which he
thought, constituted distinct grievances.
The burden of Mr. Dillard's adI
dress was that number 10 highway.
(which is th main highway across the
1 state, was apparently being neglected
! in favor of late:al roads, for which
J Mr. Dillard blamed the highway
I authorities. He also haa somewhat to
I say about the engineer's recomniendat
ion as to the selection of a road to
the Tennessee Statr line, which would"
[be maintained by the State.
S Upon the conclusion of Mr. DilI
lard's talk, Mr. Stikeleather, the
District Commissioner. rose to answer
Mr. Dillard's complaints and to
make certain explanations. Mr.
Stikeleather explained that under the
circumstances Number 10 highway
through Nantahala gorge had been
j carried on as rapidly as possible,
i He pointed out that it was a dif- " ,
ficult piece of construction; that two
contractors had failed, that the bond,
ing company wanted to build the road
instead cf pay the forfeit to the
] highway commission, and that so long
I as th.3 company kept men at work
i th* *? --- * *
( ^vUU.u uui Hurijr up in?
| matter. Ho explained that the matter
of dealing with the bonding company
-xzz It. the hands of the ?h?irman
of the State Highway Commission
and that ty had done all in his
power to push the work.
In answering the statement that lat:
eral roads were receiving more at'
tention than tht. main highway, particular
reference having been made
to the highway from Dillsboro by
way of Franklin to the Georgia State
line, Mr. Stikeleather explained that
Macon county had received a concrete
road from Franklin to the
Georgia line because the county had
donated $341,000 to the completion
of the road, and that the road from
Franklin to Dillsboro w*as being made
concrete because the county was
loaning the State $150,000 for this
purpose, to be paid back out of future
state bond issues. This question
came up, because much of Number
10 highway is being paved with
water bound qracadam and penetration
macadam surfaces.
Coming to the question as to whether
or not Cherokee County had received
a square deal, Mr. Stikeleathcer
explained that the county, under
the method of alloting funds to the
vaiious districts unuer the Stat law,
according to area, mileage and peculation,
had brought into his district
$383,000 less than will have
been spent in the county by the time
the road to Andrews is completed.
Mr. Stikeleather explained, however,
that he was not building county systems
of highways, but part of a great
3tate system.
Following Mr. Stikeleather, Dr. L.
E. Kimsey of Ducktown was called
upon to address the meeting. Dr.
Kimsey explained the attitude of his
county and his state; with regard to
building a connection to the North %
Carolina line to meet a route connecting
with N. C. 10 and North Carolina's
highway system. Dr. Kirasey
is responsible for the scenic highway
in East Tennesce that bears his name
and stated its condition and how mucfi
had been spent on it, etc.
