In almost every newspaper we have seen, for the past
week, we have noticed ministers of the Qospel referred
to, especially in the headlines, as Rev. Soandso. Such
error is regretted by all people who have any regard
whatever for the old language, and again proves our
oft-made assertion that the headline-writers and re
porters, as a class, are sacrificing good English for the
god of space.

We are in receipt of a letter from Cullowhee, head
ed "Boys Will Be Boys." It is really a good letter; but
is now in our waste basket, because the name of the
writer was not signed to it. For 999990th time we again
assert that this newspaper can not, should not, and will
not publish unsigned letters. We can not because it is
against the strict rule in all respectable newspaper of
ficos. We should not because it is a dangerous precedent
to establish. We will not because we wont. When you
have anything to say through the columns of this paper,
please be fair enough to sign your name to your remarks.
The columns of the Journal are always open to all the
people. Letters from any of our readers are welcomed;
but unsigned letters always find a secure and safe rest
ing place in the bottom of the waste basket.
THE HIAWASSEE DEVELOPMENT
.(? " .
Je
The news of the big power development that is to be
made on the Hiawassee river is being hailed with pealis
of exaltation in some quarters. And it is an event of no
little importance to Western North Caroling, where
millions of flowing gold are passing our doors day and
night; awaiting to be caught. But, if we understand
the purpose of the damming of the Hiawassee, we cjyi
not look upon it with unmixed joy. If the power of tlfe
Hiawassee is to be caught in North Carolina and piped
through copper wires to other states to qnrich them,
we are unable to see where the people of WesternNorth
Carolina, whose property the rivers of this region are,
will profit by the development.
Already the transmitting of North Carolina power
from Cheoah has made a small but important industrial
city of a struggling Tennessee village. The same company
that- has so enriched ?astern Tennessee with North Caro
lina power owns a greater potential of hydro-electric
power, on the Tuckaseigee, the Tennessee, the Nante
hala and the Cheoah, than is to be found at the famous
Muscle Shoals development. This power, if it is ever
developed by its true owners, the Aluminum Company
of America, will be worth less to Westem North Caro
lina than the farming and timber lands arc worth in
their present condition. ( y ,
Are we to sit idly by and see the greatest wealth
our region posesses diverted to other regions and other
states to make them rich, while the North Carolina
mountains that we love, are left with the bag to hold?
North Carolina power for North Carolina, is our slogan
We have no quarrel with Tennessee or Georgia, but we
do not like to see our wealth in millions, our dreams of
many happy homes, and contented industrial workers,
our hopes for our loved region, tapped and transmitted
to other states across copper wir<$ and around shining
glass insulator.
A HISTORIC PROPERTY
V
By James H. Cathey
The papers say that E. L. (Lyn
don) McKee has purchased the cele
brated Hampton resort homestead in
Cashiers Valley.
If he has it is another evidence of
Hack's eanny Scotch business ac
enmen. It is one of the finest re
sort placcs in the world. I mean it
will ultimately develop into such.
His projcctod all-the-year inn for
the accommodations of tourists is
bound to succeed.
Physically the location is unique.
There is not another such topogra
phical contour in the Southern Ap
palachians. It is not simply pictur
espuc;it is charmingly queer to the
point of grotesquenes. I doubt
whether there is another such place
to be found on the glob. There
Chimney Top, not Chimney Rock,
stands in lone sublimity on one side
and the Devils Courthouse and
White Side on the other, and from
the Blue Ridge a prospective fifty
miles to the South including the
towns, railways and cotton mills of
the Palmetto State, meets the ex
ultant vision.
It is said that General Hampton
used to have his servents to send up
sky-rockets from Chimney Top at
night while himsel? remained in
Seneca to enjoy the scene.
John C. Calhoun was the first, as
ha was in many other things, to dis
cover the attractiveness of this re
gion. Hither used to come with the
Hamptons other of the rich and cul
tured families of South Carolina,
namely, the?Sloans, the Prestons, the
Taylors, the Ravenels, and others.
There is the walls (log) of the
old Sloan Inn in the town ofCashiers
on which is curved the names of
these early celebrities among them
that of Calhoun.
It is now a cow stall. I wish Mc
would buy that and preserve it 8S
? mnrk of veneration for these he
roic Cavaliers.
Who will be the next native moun
tain man to buy a choice peice of
Appalachian dirt not for speculation!
