Anderson Speak#
Attorney O. L. Anderson, was the
next speaker, and he made a sirong
plea for a better road from Hayesville
! to Murphy, and stated that although
the situation looked rather gloomy
for our roads in this section, that we
keep striving, working, boosting, and
co-operating and success would ci-r
I tainly crown our efforts to some ex
I tent. He cited numerous cases in
I the past that were more hopeless look
ing than what we now face, and then
pointed out the progress that had
been made in road building regard
less of seemingly unsurmouniable ob
stacles.
He told the story of the two frogs
which by misfortune found them
selves in a can of milk. One gave up
in despair while the other kept kick
ing. and by so doing made a small
bail of butter and victoriously climb
ed upon it and saved himself. If
we keep "kicking" he said, soon the
ball of butter would appear, and we
would have better roads, and by
j "kicking" he meant pushing, pulling,
; boosting and co-operating with each
1 other and the Commissioner.
Among the other speakers of the
occasion were Mr. G. H. Haigler, of
Hayesville, Mr. M. L. Mauney. of
Peachtree, Dr. E. E. Adams and oth
ers.
Among important business matters
transacted by the Lions were the ap
pointment of D. Witherspoon, E. E.
Adams, and B. \V. Sipe as a commit
tee to take up the matter of Patter
son hill with the road commission at
its next meeting, and of standing
committees of the Ciub by President

Through Mr. J. I'. Gray, the Clay

ciation to the Lions for the fine spirit
of co-operation shtwn for the better
ment of all roaus and i nditions in
this section, and f? ? sponsoring get
to-gether meetings such as this one
and pledged the < - peration of Clay

OFFERS POWER
CHEAP TO LOCATE
INDUSTRIES HERE
(Continued from page 1)
must be interested and induced to
locate in this section. When the pres
ent owners of the Caroiina-Tennessee
Power Company first entered this
territory, there were numerous mar
kets close by which needed electrical
energy, and there was a large de
mand for it at the great smelting
plants at Copperhill, at Rome, Ga.,
and numerous other towns within
transmission distance that were pro
ducing power by coal or were with
out power, including Murphy. It was
to supply that market that these gen
tlemen interested themselves in Caro
lina-Tennessee Power Company.
"However, during the interval of
many years, during which time the
question mas being litigated in courts
to determine what company had the
right to develop Hiawassee River oth
er water power companies built plants
on other rivers in Georgia and Ten
nessee and supplied with electric pow
er the copper fields and other then
existing natural markets for the Hia
wassee power, with the result chat a
new market must be created for the j
power to be produced in this vicinity.
"Send the energy over lines to the
industrial centers that are already
established, you say. Well, this would
seem feasible at first, and will be
feasible when the power companies
now supplying those markets have
develpoed all their undeveloped sites
which they arc holding in reserve.
But to wait for this would be too f
long. To speed up the development
a new demand for the power should }
be created, and along this line we are
extremely active.
"Our company is now layinv the j
foundation with the object of bring
iny to Murphy large electric furnace
industries, as enlargements of the op
erations of companies operating in 1
this country and abroad. This char- i
acter of industry uses very large
quantities of electricity and require '
? aw materials of the character found '
in Murphy, such as iron ore.
"Both the Southern Railroad and
L. & X. Railroad have been working
for some months to produce a freight
rate structure that would be attrac
tive to such industries. Both rail
roads have expressed their desire to
co-operate. With favorable freight
rates, I am confident that these in
dustries can be convinced that the
combination of mountain labor, raw
materials and electricity at Murphy
will give the basis for establishing
here a sound, solvent and successful
electric furnace industry that will '
absorb our power at fair rates. When
this has been accomplished the dirt
will begin to fly.
"These plans have been going for
ward as rapidly as possible, and noth
ing would please us more than to be
able to announce that actual construc
tion work on this great development j
would begin at once. The people of
this section can rest assured that the
development is coming at 110 far
future date."
The advertisement appearing in

New Hydro-Electric Power De
velopment in the heart of the big and
rapidly growing southern markets.
For economical production and
distribution Eiecro-Chemical Indus
tries were attracted to Niagara Falls
by cheap power. The Southern con
suming markets are far from Niagra
Falls. The South has aboundant raw
materials. Why not manfacture
nearer your consuming markets, near
er your raw materials and where la
bor is cheaper.
Is it because you think you cannot
jret power in the south in the quantity
you require and at a price you L'-i-t
afford to nay?
Let us help you to develop the fr?ctj
as to this subject.
Carolina-Tennessee Power Com.
pany owns very large undeveloped
powers on Hiawassee River near Mur
phy. N- C., and is ready to develop
them to supply responsible consumers

ly those concerns who get in touch
with us now will find it greatly to
their advantage.

FORT BRAGG MEMORIAL CHAPEL
Mr. Editor:
As most of your readers know.
largest Artiliery Post in the world u
at Fort Bragg, near Fayetteville. .V.r
Y< ung men from all over the nmnty
are there and our boys at the differ
ent colleges, where military tactics
are taught go there for training as
members of the R. O. T. C.
The United States has provided
many buildings, such as barracks, a
motion picture theatre and the like,
and although it furnishes a chaplain
it does not and will not provide any
church or other building dedicated to
the worship of Almighty God.
A srroup of patriotic men, headed
by Dr. .1. >1. Tilly of Fayetteville
have conceived the idea of appealing
to the good people of the State to
provide a suitable house of worship
for these young men. many of whom
are our own boys. The plan has the
unqualified endorsement of Brig.
Genl.. A. .1. Rowley and Col. T. E.
Nerrill of the 5th Artillery, as well
as of the Chaplain. Waiter IV. Zim
merman. and a SSate wide advisory
and sponsorship committee healed
by Gov. A. W. McLean is lending its
aid. The writer has been named as
committeeman for Cherokee county.
What religious services are held at
this post are held in the picture thea
tre. There is a Bible Class at the
post of seven hundred which meets
at the same place. We ail know that
a house dedicated to the worship of
God is badly needed and the atten
tion of our people is called to this
situation to the end that they may
have the privilege of contributing to
this most worthy cause.
The cause is indeed a worthy one.
It will not do to say that the Govern
ment should provide this house of
worship. Perhaps it should do so,
but the fact remains that it will not
do it, and so, unless our people, by
valuntary subscriptions provide it,
our young men must continue to do
without .
It is hoped that all who can will aid.
Please send your contribution, large
or small, to the undersigned, who
will forward them with pleasure. Make
all checks payable to "Treasurer Ft.,
Braggs Memorial Chapel Association"
The church is to be non-denomina
tional, and is to be a memorial to
those hero sons of North Carolina
who gave their lives in defense of our
Nation's Flag. As an act of genuine
beneficence to a worthy cause, noth
ing could be more effective.
Respectfully, JOHN H. DILI.ARD.
