The proposed Great Smoky Mountains'' National park, on the ot j hand., R!i- nTuur scaics, is within a -lay's train ride of at least 60,000,000 of the 82.000.000 persons living K.a t: of the Mis>issipj i. ami ;?1 least a million persons could reasonably be1 expected to visit the park an..ua'ly.! because of the proximity ef the park to the people of this part of the country. "The huge sums of money dt rived from tourists travel is of increasing local importance," the article says. "It has been estimated that tourists' spend something like $.~>0.000.0u0 in! Colorado alone during the vacation' period. California is reputed i?? re-' ceive $500,000,000 a year from j this same tourists source; while in Minnesota the estimates are placed at $ 150.000.000. "If the estimates of those who have i studied the situation are correct, and a million persons visit the Great \ Smoky Mountains Park nnnuaily. j the income from this traffic woul-.l approximate $100,000,000. This! money would go to the shop- keeper, j the garage owners, and, of course.; to the whole business and p:ofe??ion-| al classes of this section. 1 "To compare the potential income from the national park tourists with the actual income of the state of North Carolina from the national forests may be an unfair comparison. .v ... uiicicsiiiiK ?-o" note, nowever that in the fiscal year ending June 30. 1025, the income to the state Ifiom its national forests was only i $8,!S68. The total income to the nation from the 158,305,056 acres I of national foiest lands in this same I fiscal year was $5,000,137. Of this national income the greater share [came from the sales of timber and from livestock grazing permits, $2,040,203 having been realized I from the timber sales, and $1,725.377 fr >m the grazing ] err..its. Permits for the use of nation)! forests for summer homes, and other forms of special use. including water power, brought in $334,376. In other words, the amount of money realized from the national forest lands, covering millions of acres of mountain lands in the Appalachians and the Rickic? of the West, brought in an income in one year equal to the amount left by tourists in the State of California in any five days of that year." l/T.

I remember the first grave tha was dug in the church yard. It wa the first wife of G. W. Hayes. Sh was the mother of .Mrs. Rolen. Xi only was the town quite differed then from tire present time, but a the surroundings were different. Th stock lived fat the winter throng on the cane brakes, on the creek-, an rivers, and the mast and winte range in the mountains. The river were alive with fish and the wood: abundantly supplied with game. Th pastimes and amusements were Uit lerent. The settlers were most); from the Kastern part of the State nr.i they weie intelligent and vvel to do farmers, and weie like a bam of brothers. The beai hunt and thi deer chase was most common; o?he wild animals ' were identiful?tlv wolves could be henred howling 01 the mountain t-'ps at a feariul rate and it was no strange thing to hca the war whoop of the red man, fot the." were hundreds left who has concealed themsche* in the fastness c- of the mountains. ?o the vigil!anc< of the soldier could ont reach them and squads could be seen on thi streets of the new town trading fo ammunition and begging for breat every day in the week, and whei they would chance to get a little 'fire water ' they would start oul single file, about ten paces apart, anc would think nothing of running ter miles without a halt to their home al the foot hill- near the valley.
