Talking about Duke's reminds
me that Murphy is a good place to
stop. In addition to the hotels and
s covey of new motels, the town
feeds well We told about Duke's,
and there also are three commer
cial cafes, all above average. But
the unusual place here is the Hen
ry House, now being operated by
Mrs Cora Bryson She puts on
cne of those big mountain meals
'family style) so popular with trav
elers in the hills?meats, vegeta
b'es, jams, -etc.?all you can eat.
Guess what it costs to have all you
-rn stuff for supper? $1.00.
The Henry House has thus re
established Murphy as a traveling
man's paradise, a reputation It
cnce 1 joyed when the old Drum
mer's Rest was running?later
known as the Dickey House, Ev
eryone around Murphy Including
her competitors?are singing the
prsises of Mrs. Bryson. We hope
*~r food?and rates?hold out.

What a glorious promise?if w<
shall have faith, even as little as e

to increase our faith. It canno
grow by and of itself. Througi

make it ever greater?for our owt

Not all kids look at it that
way. But at some stage in
the life of most boys there
comes a time when it's just
a pain in the neck?which
interrupts his usual activi
ties and chains him to a desk
w hen he wants to be out of
doors with the gang.
Saving money is a little like that. We can
all think of a great many things we would
like to Have. With a few bucks in our pocket
we are tempted to forget the future and
spend it on something that gives us tempo
rary pfteas ure but no lasting benefit.
Saving money is like going to school * . .
In one case you are laying up $ $ for future
use and Happiness and independence?in
the other you are storing up knowledge that
will make a better life for you in the future.
Neither one can fully be appreciated until
later. But with the future in mind you can
get a lot of pleasure out of both saving and
going to school. These two are your best in
vestments in the future.

Excavations
May Help In War
Against Disease
From excavations of various In
dian mounds in the South Atlantic'
states this summer archaeologists '
hope to find clues to the riddle of
the apparent great migration of
the early American Indian.
For instance, what event or cir
cumstances of early times caused
tribes of Siouan origin to occupy
South Carolina and Georgia? The
Sious nation belongs to the Ameri
can west. They are plains Indians
Yet there were Siouan tribes here
bouts, the archaeologists say,
long before the tribes the white
man found here.
Archaeologists have theories
about these things, but only theo
ries. Some of the Indian mounds
<f the South Atlantic states have
been known for two hundred
ears or more, but they remain to
be excavated, many of them.
One of the most important exca
stions this summer is in the Wa
erce swamp near here. The ex
- vat ions have already uncovered
?evoral skeletons, estimated to be
700 years old or more, and some
relics.
The excavation project was
tar'.ed when David Williams, ow
ner of Mulberry plantation on
v hich the mound is situated, not
ed that the Wateree river is chang
ing its course and that the mound
-vould eventually be washed away '
-nd lost to science.
Heading the project is Dr. A. R. I
Kelly, director of the department!
et anthropology and archaeology j
it the University of Georgia, who
has dug into many mounds in the '
Southeast, and Jack Hanahan, cur
ator of natural science at the
Charleston Museum.
The diggings indicate, according
o Dr. Kelly, that the ground was
built up over many generations,
probably by baskets of earth
brought to the site from else
"bere. The theory is that this
"aound was first built for a tem
ple, and later was used for burial
purposes by a later tribe. The or

Pays Tribute To
Martin E. Denash
By GEORG BIDSTRUP
Martin E Denash came unob
struslvely into the Brasstown Com
nuni'y a little over three years
ago seeking health and inspiration.
He was a rare Englishman . who
chose the United States as his
?opted land and served it bravely
nd loyally in World Wars I and
Prior to coming to Brasstown
? and Mrr. D?nash had lived in
Vaynesville for a year and a half,
?"hey were attracted to Brasstown
iy the John C. Campbell Folk
-hool with which they became as
nciated on a part-time basis, he
-?aching mechanical drawing and
"led subjects and she as a pho
ographer of professional skill. But
"? Denash was more than a
eacher. He was a man of cultur
d tastes and disciplined1 mind.
? ho left his Impress on the total
ITe of the school and added much
ed the village.
While archaeologists and anth
ropologists look to the project for
some clues to the past, the future
isn't overlooked Samples of soil
from the mound site have been
"ollected and sent to research lab
?ratorics where the quest goes on
continuously for new antibiotics
with which to fight disease in hu
mans and animals
Antibiotics such as the golden
itold. aureomycin. are made from
-mids produced by micro-organ
isms in the soil. Since aureomycin
was found in. a soil sample from
Missouri, the search is organized
so that samples will be gathered
>n?m all places?including some
of the strange and remote parts
c.f the world.
Scientists believe that some
\ here?possibly in someone's
srekyard, or in some unusual.and
unfrequented place like the In
dian mound deep in the watry
=wamp?there may be a soil with
a strain of micro-organisms that
will prove as effective in man's
?var against disease as that sou
