Welcome, SCHOOL ELECTION OAftkxED BT LA^RGE MAJORITY A notable educational achieve ment was accomplished, Monday, September 28, by the forward-look ing citizens of Cashiers, Hambaigand Mountain townships, when they car .ied a local-tax election by a magni .cient majority of two hundred and orty-two. Too much can not be said a praise of the teachers, the school committeemen, and other progressive aen and women whose enthusiastic md untiring efforts won this splen lid victory for the benefit of the jright boys and girls of that section. { Jhat was a redletter day for up'per iaeksoa County, and is charged with remondous meaning to the future progress and development of one of .he fairest and finest region:; in our tate. The lection conteuipluted a urge consolidated district embracing >arts of Hacburg, Mountain, and Jashiers. Hamburg and Mppntain ;ave a good account of themselves, .hile it is worthy of note that Cash iers had not n single citizen who came .0 the polls aad cast a vote against .he proposition. It is still remembered as an im >ortant item of educational history .hat back in the late nineties Ham burg Township was one of only a ia.? dozen townships in a State-wide lection, that voted a local tax. Add another wreath to Hamburg's laurels 'Forward" is her motto. Just on the threshold of the amez Ing awakening and development that kVestcru North Carolina will experi ence within a few months, it is most imply and auspicious that these fore lighted citizens should have taken his progressive action. The result ?ill be that ere long this promising .ection will have high school facili ics equal to the best. Good roads, ,ood schools, good churches, good citizens^ and the nnssurpassed climate ccnerv, and other natural advant iges will make this territory one of the richest and most attractive areas u Eastern America. This is no un warranted claim: it is a prophecy .hat will soon be fullfiled. Another outstanding educational ?vent was that of the group-center eachers' meeting held at Cullowhec f.n Friday September 25 The.morii ng session of the meeting wjts spent n observation in the Pemqnstration School. Demonstration Jessoiis were :ucces&fully taught by Misspse Jqella Vkin and Alva Qupen frith ontstand ng results. Other teachers were ob jerved by the visiting tpachpffi Jit r'ree observation periods. The afternoon session was devoted to discussions nf the following prob lems: \ 1. How tp increase the pttend mce. 2. Improvements of physipftl con ditions in the school 3. Ways and means ?f effecting organization and management Of the classroom. Mr. Alexander very graciously welcomed the teachers to the Demon stration School and throughout the day he exended every courtesy pos sible in making the day a pleasant and profitable one for the visiting .eachers. This was the first group-center neeting under the direction of Mass Borden and she thoroughly demon strated her abilities as an educational worker in the fielcl of supervision, (t was evident that thg tea?'ief8 were delighted m '??$ mn V the result of the day^s meeting. t j. n: Wilson, supt.

ROME-TO-GAINESVILLE HIGHWAY IS PLANNED Franklin Press, Sept. 25.?It will be remembered that a scout car from Rome, Ga., passed through Franklin last spring seeking a good ronte from Home to Asheville. Evidently the Rome citizens decided upon the route they wish. Only recently the Chero kee Trail association was organized by citizens living along the route be tween Rome and Gainesville. This road will pass north of Atlanta and will include the following towns: Balliround, Canton, Cartersville Cumming. Rylay, Waleska, Orange and Wot ock. It is proposed to be gin wcr? cn this highway at once in order to give work to the farmers in that section whose crops have been utterly ruined by the unprecedented drought. . ? ? ? The Cherokee Trail will conneot at Gainesville with the Atlanta-Frank lin-Asheville highway thus giving Rome and other towns a direct route to P'ranklin, Asheville and bther parts of the North Carolina mountains. HOG CHOLERA NEAR WILMOT It lias been the misfortune of Mr. Nathan Bumgarner on the highway in Qualla near Wilmot to have his- hogs dest/oyed by cholera. It is very evi dent that the cholera was brought in by a pig which Mr. Bumgaftier bought form a truck carrying hogs in from outside the county, and it is be elived that this was a pig form Tennessee or South Carolina. County Agent Tilson advises the farmers not to buy these outside 'pigs unless they know them to be from clean herds or have been vaccinated for cholera. One of our) neighboring counties pro tects its swine by a strict law against bringing hogs into that county that acr not previously vaccinated for cholera. Mr. Bumgarner had four shoats when this pig was bought. In a few days after the purchase one of his shouts died. Then another took sick and the Farm Agent was called. Mr. Tilson said every outward indication was that the hogs had cholera. Then the use of a strong diseinfectant-Then started to prevent it being spread rapidly in the community. A few days and the second hog was dead and an internal, examination by the Farm Agent showed positively that the hog (had the severest type of cholera. The rest of these hogs are sick and we arc doing all possible to get the serum here to vaccinate all the hogs within at least a^ mile of Mr. Bum garner's farm and stop the cholera where it is if possible. The government has spent more money on hog- cholera contral than any other animal disease and they have found no cure for the diseas< but a very effective and certain pre ventative by vaccinating the hogs. County Agent Tilson will vaccinate the hogs in Wilinot community) a. quickly as it can be done. It will bi neccesary for every person to have their hogs vaccinated in this com munity it' we are to save the hogs ami check the epidemic here without further spread to other commui\ites and heavy losses because cholera spreads very fast is vwy effec tive at this s^sgn of the year. ?o / HAMBURG ESTABLISHES HIGH SCHOOL Tbe townships of Hamburgj^ashiers and Mountain, vo\e$ to establish a high school., aV Wfonville, at a special! elation held Monday. ^ I The election was called more than -a. month ago, giving the voters a ^chance to speak ori the ^Sktyitsiunent of the school ar\^ - m, ^pepiat tax to support it.
