Scott's Creek was not us high thi:

In other words, the new nava
agreement- is that England and Ann'i
ica will each build as large nam
ojb they want to, but neither will su.
i ,
pass the other, 'l but is drawing clo~
or to a defensive alliance between th.
British Empire and the United State
which might muf be such a bad ide.
at that.
Yancey county tolk.s are entering
a mighty protest over the attitude i>;
Asheville toward the selection of thv
Big Tom Wilson route for the fre
road to the top of Mount Mitche?
Asheville, when it comes to roads am
Mich matters, h:is always taken i
small attitude, instead of looking to
ward the development of Westeri
\ North Carolina as a whole. If chest
f nuts are to be pulled out of the tin
we are all expected to be id the pub
iug. For instance, the location of th<
Parkway from Soeo (lap to Choroke
would ruin Sylva and other suj>poi*t
era of Asheville. Yet she is hell-b?n
on it. Another tiling we'll wager it
that when the Parkway gets as fa
as Asheville, the agitation for its coir
pletion will cease, in thj>se parts. Th
Yancey folks could have learned
1 about Asheville from us.

developed and brought to a high de
gree, courage, initiative, self-reliance
and personal responsibility in its cit
izens.
Those are the elements which maike
up what we cail 'fcharacter" They
are not the product of government:
they are the qualities which are de
veloped in each individual, one by
oue, by the combined influence of the
home, the church,; the school and
the environment of one's youth. Gov
ernment cannot make men self-reliant
or responsible. It can destroy or un
pair those qualities by ordering men 's
lives for them. By putting the empha
sis on dollars instead of upon char
acter it can instil the belief that the
only thing that counts in life is ma
terial success. f
Nothing can more effectively block
the road to happiness than that.

retired and he was untuble to see in
?vhat direction they went. In prooi
ot the -truth of his story, he shows
blood at the two places where the
men were standing, wnd also at ?vari
ous other places, notably at a point
some sixty yards above the house,
where the party apparently halted tor
a time. Besides this, he shows the
rock with which the door was broken
down, the mark of the bullet which
a as fired at him and which he aftei
wards picked up, and four switches
they had provided to use upon him
He says the men looked and talked
liko negroes and thait he was entirely
unable to form even a suspicion of the
identity of either of the party except
one. He thought he recognized the
voice of one as that of a' man from
Geoigia, who spent a night or two
at his house just before the attack
The mystery is what became pf the
dead and wounded?
