I ; | Murphv. North Carolina, Thursday. August, 22. 1935 . IT WILL BE BilLT~A\l) SOOM There still lingers in the minds of sonic doubt as t . whether or not the TVA will buiid their dam 011 the Hiawassee river just below Murphy. We have predicted for a long time that it would be luiilt and it seems, in spile of our more pessimistic critics, that we might be right. The editor even went so far one time as to say that work on the dam would staTt Ma\ 1, and because he supposedly missed it by a couple months ,found life wasn't hardly worth living. Of course we were well within the law on that statement as work has been going on there for more than 15 months, but what we're interested in now is actual construction which, if our information isn't misleading. will hegin sometime within the next few weeks. Many fear that because official announcement of the dam lias not been made in the daily papers that it has not yet been signed by the President. Some time ago we received word that the chief executive signer! the bill and to erase doubt we wired Dr. j Morgan for official verification. In his absence, W. L. ! -liirdivant, head of the publicity department of the T\ \. wired that the President has signed the TVA bill lad that the organization was now studying plans for op ration. What the president signed was the second deficiein 1 bill as amended by Senator McKellar, of Tennes-cc iv bu ll names the Hiawassee dam as project No. I | ami .minding immediate construction. We naturally suppose that the Hiawassee dam, al-j 'I ,-h the next thing to breath itself to us, is not of suf- ; lici.nl interest to the world al large as to rate headline' news in out-of-town newspapers. But unless both Sen-! Hoi Bob Reynold's secretary, W. E. McDonald, and the l\ \ s publicity department is wrong, operation- will I uin in the near luture. Moreover we have received information that officials will be here soon to hire necessary help. At any rate we refuse to pessimistic and still niaintain that dam will be built here?and soon. THE ETHIOPIAN SITUATION Vi e are informed by the National Geographic Society that the proper name of that African kingdom against which Italy is making threaten 1110 w o O" "Ethiopia." We are glad to get that information. It is mm h easier to write "Ethiopia" or pronounce it than to say "Abyssinia." Ethiopia is an insignificant little country, inhabited Al lusively by dark-skinned people of several different id ial origins. Officially it is ? Christian nation, the r I a ion of the ruling classes being Coptic, which is the oMi>t surviving Christian sect, Actually the Ethiopians hare many religions, including primitive African \oodoii.sin, Mohammedanism and Judaism. The tradition lh.it the royal family of Ethiopia is directly descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Slieba, whose visit to the host famous ruler of the Israelites is described in the Bible, is firmly believed by the Ethiopians, without very much evidence to back it up. W by Mussolini seems bent on making war on Ethiopia is not quite clear to anybody. The best guess] seems to be that he is facing a popular uprising at home, which threatens his dictatorship, and embarked on his) Ethiopian venture to divert the Italian people's minds '""ii their domestic troubles. It is still less clear, from this distance, why England does not put a stop to Mussolini's warlike gestures ' > the simple process of preventing the shipment of Italian soldiers, munitions and war supplies through the Suez Canal. I he timidity with which European statesmen seem I"' tackling the problem of preserving the world's I" ." .- suggests that the "danger of another general wat ' more imminent than we have been led to believe. -u r>body seems to be afraid of everybody else. We lucky to be on this side of the Atlantic, and will be "'hicr still if ue do not get dragged into the coming] war. I L. - __ The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, N. C. BUSINESS IS BETTER ? Business i- definitely pic king up. There can Ik- no $ mistake about that. There nta> be room for argument & a- to the cause- of the improvement, but there i- non as to the fact. I lie most definite improvement i- in the automo I ib industry. An.b.sly can count lor himself th- ! ;r growing number of now car-i mi the highway. Il i< 110; ! i uiprisiiig. therefore. that General Motor- should come | . cul with an aiinouncenient. it did last week, that it u will spend in expanding it- plant equipment. Most of this will go for new machinery. to pro- ! duce more of the lower-priced cars in the General Moiots list. That will mean more employment for factor\ workers, and the disti ihution of more money in B wagoj, which can he sptiil for news cats or radios ot ^ home-building or what have you. H Perhaps the figures i--ued a few days ago by the Bureau of Economic Research of the Department oi Commerce give one of the reasons for the busincs- pick- js up. The national income?which means the total in- p come of everybody who receive any income at all?rose in 1934 by 11 percent over 1933. In figures, the nat- ~ ional income was ?49,440.000,000 in 1934, as againtst $44,431,000,000 in 1933. Part of this was. of course. > due t<? the distribution of relief funds, which were in- ,r come for those who received them. Relief payments. v however, amounted to only about a third of the increase. I The rest came from the general higher turnover in private business. The Bureau of Research points out that the pro- \ portion of income received by American workers in the * lorm of wakes was somewhat higher than in previous years, and that earned by capital a shade lower. iv;_ .L--1- .1 r__? - l CI -1 . .1 . r w v ixmiK inesc iuc.is ana ngurro are anout me mosi encouraging signs we have seen in a long lime. \\ e arc c almost templed lo throw our hat in the air and shout: 1 "Tire Depression is over!" SALUTE THE FEDERAL MEN With deadly rapidity the arch-criminal, the gangster, the racketeer, the snatcher. the ruthless killer and destroyer of social humanity is proving long-needed 11 prey to the federal Agants. With no other motive than to rid the United States of crime the "G" man as he is more familiarly termed, ti i. running down his man and bringing him to justice. Under the guiding hand of John Edgar Hoover. VN the director of he Federal Bureau ol Investigation ot the I nilcd States Department of Justice, the greatest organi i \V /.ation in the history of time has la-en huilt up to run down the cunning and subtle operations that have Is- ti come an expert craft of the criminal fiend. Said to be an unassuming man, not the least interu.ted in self-glory. Hoover has proven the fiist real menace to the criminal .and his operatives, sturdy men m ol the finest principles and gentlemen of responsibility in all respects, allowing no policital or luibery infill- A cncc to interfere, are an institution of the government c< that is, to this time, without taint, ami the results are startling. 'J.' Dillingcr, Hamilton, Floyd and scores of other rats have tallen as they lived, with smoking guns in their ribands. until the gangs are slowly but surely Ireing broken up leaving a small time gunman, Karpis, as public enemy No. 1. and his time is coining. It is a credit lo our government and more particu- (. lar to our social standards to have one organization that a is operating as effectively as is Hoover's. His unmitigated spirit is meeting with cooperation from every person and every institution in the country. J,' We have said before and we say again that to rid this country of crime we must obliterate the criminal's type. Hardened, ruthless killers do not fear the chair or the noose. They are born to kill and thieve humanity in many torturous ways. Prison sentences and bitter animosity toward law only make them the worse. Hoover and his men are doing a wonderful job in keeping crime down, but it is up to us as individuals and as organizations of a high type of society to OBLITERATE THE rtmri\.w TVPC The home, the school, the church and strict immigration laws will go a long ways toward cutting down our crime cost and allow the individual the safety and the priveleges he should naturally enjoy in a land that _ is resplendent with freedom, democracy and a high type M of intelligence. WILL ROGERS AMD WILEY POST \\ e can not help hut devote part of our space to the passing of America's most beloved character \o. 1. Will Rogers, and an internationally known pilot, Wiley Post, in view of their tragic passing last week. Tk- * * , a,n viuzen probahly never had a better J friend than Will Rogers. Thousands laughed with him j every day as his homely philosophy cheered the prince and the pauper alike. His jibes have probably done more for international peace than any other one thine although on the face they were unassuming and unimportant. Wiley Post was symbolic of the progress of American aviation. He was as much a part of the flying world as the airplane is itself. He was a pioneer into the skyways and when a colleague made a record, Post TURNING BACK HI IC YEARS AGO Friday, August 21, 19'5->. w Mrs. ' tli c Hail rotu n d Tuesday om Ashevi'le where sh. has been [ - t '.z r the ra-t thr weeks. ~\ Miss Mary Dozier has :.s he uue-t r we k, Miss Katherine Daniel, of ogan, Ga. j Charles I'i kev returned Monday [om Ha.Ian and Middlesboro.
