the Brushy Mountains, on the south.
“On a spur of the Blue Ridge run
ning southeast near Obids (Ashe coun
ty) towards Wilkes boro, N. C„ be
tween the waters of Reddies River
and Lewis Fork Creek, is located this
Mountain.
“It was on this round, picturesque
mountain, overlooking the valley of
Reddies River and Lewis Fork Creek,
the Yadkin River and the tablelands
and distant mountains, that Colonel
Benjamin Cleveland assembled amdi
trained the 28 patriots whom he af
terwards led to a rendezvous at Quak
er Mountain, near Morganton, and
joined Campbell and William from
Virginia, Sevier and Shelby, with their
forces from Tennessee, and the Mc-
Dowells and others from North Car
olina, and later aided materially in
winning the Battle of King's Moun
tain, that culminated in the final vic
tory at Yorktown.
"Soldiers from this section also
fought under Cleveland at the Battle
of Guilford Courthouse.
“Colonel Joseph Winston, after
whom the city of Winston was nam
ed. came from Surry county with 125
men and joined the Wilkes county
forces and fought under Cleveland at
King's Mountain.”
It is the wish of Judge Finley that
- the mountain, which he describee ns
- being covered with forest growth and
- rhododendron, azalea and dogwood aDd
r as containing splendid mountain
i springs, be considered not only a state
park but a shrine of the Revolution.
. where the members of the D. A. R.
p will be invited to place a memorial
tablet and to hold commemorative
| meetings.
I In announcing Judge Finley's offer,
i Major Phillips pointed out that the
Department of Conservation and De
velopment is vested by law with the
I administration of State Parks and is
t also empowered to accept on behalf of
. the State, gifts of land for park pur
poses. He expressed himself as being
delighted with Judge Finley's offer
t and as having no doubt that the gov
erning board of the department will
accept the offer nt its next meeting.
It is probable, he said, that the new
park will not only offer an attractive
' place for sight-seers but will also
' prove valuable as a much needed ad
ditional area for forestry experimen
' tation and demonstration.
When Rendezvous Mountain is for
' mall.v deeded to the State, North Car
olina will have three State parks, the
others being the area surrounding the
peak of Mount Mitchell, acquired
through the efforts of the late Gov
ernor Craig, and the historic site and
remaining fortifications of Fort Ma
con near Beaufort.
By act of the Legislature the De
partment of Conservation and Devel
opment is now vested with the admin
istration of eight of the fresh water
lakes of Eastern North Carolina, two
of which—White Lake and Lake Wae
camaw—have attained much popular
ity as summer resorts.
Making $lO Per Acre on Timber.
The Progressive Farmer.
If any render threw aside last
week’s Progressive Farmer without
reading "Making Our Farm Wood
lands Pay,” he ought to look up that
issue right away and get the benefit
of the sound wisdom expressed in
Forester Curran's talk with Sam
Johnson. Mr. Curran's rules for pre
veting forest fires, for getting stands
of timber where they do not exist,
and for cutting and marketing lim
ber and firewood—all these things
deserve not only to be read but re
membered.
It is Mr. Curran's contention Hint
by following sound forestry rules,
' farmers can average $lO per year
i profits from each acre in timber.
Every reader is invited to consider
J how many acres he has in woodland
and ask himself whether or not he
1 is adopting the rules and policies
] that will give him this return,
i While visiting a thoughtful sar
i mor a few weeks ago. he brought out
| a point we have never heard emplia
i sized. I'ntil a few years ago, our
i farmer-friend pointed out, timber in
' order to be easily marketed had to
i be near a railroad. Our Southern
1 woodlands lying near railway lines
| were being very rapidly cut over and
i sold. Good timber at any consider
l able distance from a railroad, how
| ever, cou'.d be marketed only by
i long wagon-hauls over poor roads,
| the result being that most, of it was
' not sold at all.
i Tile coming of the modern truck
1 together with improved roads, as our
friend pointed out, has changed all
this. Timber ten to twenty miles
from railways is now often just .as
accessible as timber one or two miles
from a depot was fifteen years ago.
It is plain to see the consequences
of this suddenly acquired accessibili
ty of the country's great timber re
sources. Timber is being cut and
destroyed far more rapidly than it
ought to be and is therefore bringing
less than it will hereafter. Thousands
of farmers who had merer been offer
ed anything of consequence for their
timber have been ready to accept
ridiculously low prices simply be
cause they have not realized the
worth of what they had.
Within a few years from now,
most of the large, mature timber so
suddenly made available for the mar
kets by the coming of trucks and
good roads will have been exhausted.
We shall then have to use each year
only about ns much timber as we .
grow. And when that time comes
prices will inevitably go much
higher thanthey are today.

mouth : “A crisis confronts the Amer
ican college . . . whose true signifi
cance is not always understood. The
college is suffering from the results
of its own success.”

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
MIAMI LENDS UNCLE SAM $1 £OO,OOO j
TO RUSH IMPROVEMENTS ON HER HARBOR^
■.Miami harbor skylibs
WASHINGTON. D. C.-Miami
moves too fast for Congress.
Unable to slow down her prog
ress to wait for the formal unwind- j
Ing of red tape here to provide the
cash for necessary harbor improve
ments. the “Magic City” of the
South is advancing $1,500,000 to
Uncle Sam in order that work may
be begun at once on deepening and
widening the channel from Miami’s
harbor to the sea.
The necessity for improving and
enlarging Miami’s harbor was
proven to Congress a year ago and
authorizations were made for a
government expenditure of $1,650,-
. 000 for the work. The cash, how
■ ever, has not yet been made avail
able.
In the meantime, riding the crest
of the Florida boom, Miami has be
come a real maritime port. With
railroads swamped by the tremen

materials and supplies, it was nat
ural that a considerable part of
this traffic should bo shipped by
i water. The result has been Bis
cayne Bay has become one of the
busiest ports on the Atlantic. Un
able to reach the docks, many of
the larger freighters have been
forced to lighter their cargoes, but
vessels of shallow draught crowd
the water until the view off Bay
Front Park, where the city is
spending $3,300,000 to make a Bay
Side beauty spot, shows nothing in
the immediate foreground but a |
forest of masts. One morning re
cently no less than twenty _ large
freighters were lying outside in
the ocean waiting for a chance to
unload cargo. Some of them had
been there a week.
But not only in freight traffic
has the demand on Miami’a harbor
facilities mushroomed almost over
i night. Miami has not inly become
a “port of call" for the majoi
steamship lines operating from i
New York, Philadelphia and Balti- j
more to Cuba and Panama, but sh« ,
has become the prime objective and i
terminus of a new passenger and j
freight service inaugurated by the (
Clyde line,- operating- between ,
New York and Miami. This aer- 1
vice provides sailings three-times J
a week on spic and Bpan new boats
which provide the last word in '
comfort and convenience.
To keep abreast of these de
imands on her harbor terminal fa*
cilities, Miami simply couldn’t wait
any longer for Unde Sam to get
around to starting work on the
new 25-foot channel. Delay in
making the improvement might
mean many times its cost. 3o
Uncle Sam has been notified that
Miami will put up the cash and
will trust to Congress to see that
its is finally repaid
