Mr. Davis, depot agent, during his absence, the latter going on a business trip to Asheville and Saluda We are glad to see Mr. ,1. H. Khra in town today, the first time that the malaria which he contracted in Florida has slackened its hold on him sufficiently to allow him to b'? away from home since he returned. It is said that Mr, R. M. Davis, who for the past five years has been the capable and efficient agent of the Railroad Company here will shortly be transferred to another point. The company never has had and never will have here, or elsewhere an agent who has rendered more efficint and! devot ed service that has Mr. Davis. Hona W>. E. Moore and C. C.

The school children of Wtimington can all tell yon of the Indian wars, of Lex ington ahd Bunker Hill and the tea throwing it Boston, and so on in Mass ?achuftefcts history; but ean they tell o? tlw? resistance to the Stamp Act at Wilmington, of the battle of Alanjonett of the Indian war, of the settkinent at Roanoke Island, of Vir ginia Dare, of tie battle of Moore** Creek Bridg?,in Pender county, of the battles of King's Mountain, Ramseur's 1 Mill, the fight at Cfrsriotte, tin g/mt President Roosevelt yesterday sigu ed an executive order making avail able the sum of $1,500,000 for the pur chase of lands for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Arno B. Cammerer, director of parks, states that this means that the park service now has sufficient funds to complete the park as originally intended. The allotment was set aside some months ago, but has been held up until legal difficulties could be gotten out of the way. t The Plott Balsam range, which in eludes Janes' Knob, Water Rock Knob, Yellow Face, Black Rock, the Pinnacle, and other mountains in thai high range above Sylva, was intended to be included in the park, and it now appears certain that the park lines will come down to Balaam Gap, and will run so as to include the ?n tire Plott Balsam range, making Sylvu the closest town to the Park, either in North Carolina or Tennessee. If present plans in North Carolina, to promote the location of the Park to Park Highway along the crest of the Caney Foik Balsams, from the head of Pigeon lo Balsam Gap^nateri alize, it will make assurance doubly sure that the great entrance to the park will be at Balsam Gap, in this coutnty. It is generally believed that Sylva located practically in the park, will become one of the tourist centers ol Eastern America, if the people of the town bestir themselves and get their house in order in preparation for tin entertainment of the flood of tourists into the park area. FRANK J. CONROY PASSES His friends in this county will learn with regret of the death, last Thursday, at his home, 73 Comber land circle, Asheville, of Frank J. Conroy.

He is survived by his widow, on< son, Dr. F. 1). Conroy, of Cincinnati Ohio and two daughters, Miss Helen Conroy, of Asheville and Mrs. Wool scy Jones, of Birmingham, Ala. EMPLOYMENT REGISTRANTS MUST RENEW REGISTRATION ? / Advice has been received at the local National Reemployment Office that all applicants whose registry tion is at least one month old mitet renew their application at the offic; if they are to be considered for any future cmployme.nl through that of fice. This is being done in order to get an accurate check of the unem ployed who are still seeking jobs. The Sylva office began its registration on Sept. 7, 1933, and since that date many of the applicants have secured work elsewhere, or moved away. It *will not be necessary for all appli cants who wish to renew their appli rations to call at the office in person, but they may ask that their applica tions bo renewed by writing inst.^f of making ?!::? call in person.
