Are we to admit our helplessness in the matter of beautifying the schoo grounds? A public camp ground will be ab solutely esential during the Triiett McConnell meeting. Within 10 days a concrete road wi: extend from Franklin to the Georgia line. This road will be open to triffic early in August- ' The Truett-McConnell Mee From all indications' the people o Franklin have not yet grasped the magnitude of the Truett-McConne meeting to be held in Franklin from August 14 to 23. From the spiritua standpoint the benefits of this meet ing are obvious. Nothing that we can say could emphasize this phase of the meeting. However, from other stand 'points, principally that of hospitality, the people of Franklin should begin to realize wljat this great meeting will mean to our town and county. It is, estimated that at least au,uuu people will attend this meeting dur ing the ten days front August 14 to 23, People from all ovgr the state an adjoining states and particularly fron the mountains of Georgia, Tennessee and Western North Carolina, have fvrtrennfA iheir intention rf hp'mff present. Never before has Franklin ' had the opportunity to extend the . glad hand of hospitality to so many people. Probably never again will we have a similar opportunity, ' The citizens of the owtn and nearby farmers must be prepared to open i heir homes to these visitors and to grant the use of their lots for camp ing purposes. We must welcome this liost of visitors with open arms Franklin now i:as the opportunity to add math to its' already wide reputa ti 1 for I rita'ity and w must r.o fail ' , Will K- During , the Truett-McConnel meeting hundreds of visitors will be . ... . . nere witn camping outfits. - borne place with plenty of wood and water should be provided for thier use. sufficient number of tables should also be made and plated on the camp ground. This can be done at a very slight cost. We bejieve that the town board should provide and equip this camp ground. The courtesy so ex ended will add grealy tto Franklin's reputation for hospitality. While no one has any desire to take' advantage of the Truett-McConnell meeting to advertise the town, nevertheless we must not fail in any way to. welcome the thousands of visitors who will be here at that time. , If we leave no stone unturned to provide for the physical welfare of our visitors, the advertising so received will be of immense advantage to us in the future. V .. The Public It Interested Unless something unforeseen occurs the town will have an abundant sup ply of electric current in four and a half months. To date no dclinhc ac tion has been taken by the town board relative to the manner in which the citizens are to be supplied with current. Good business judgment would seem to indicate'that this mat ter should be decided at the carJkrt rosnblc moment. V Will the town supply current direct to the ckulm or will it sell current o the local eltctric ht company for n-iiiftrjbution? Mr. Stikeleatfcer Censured In its issue of July 10 the Cherokee Scout publisbed4 a letter from Mr. John H. Dillard in which he severely criticises Mr. Stikekather for certain alleged sins of omission. We presume that Mr. Stikekather has long since become used to such abuse. Mr. Dillard characterizes Mr. Stike- leather's methods as "autocratic" and "dictatorial" and state that such methods will result in a "raw deal" unless the people "get busy." The gist of Mr. Dillard's complaint seems to be that Mr. Stikekather has not completed the section of No. 10 between Nantahalat and Wesser, But let us quote from Mr, Dillard's letter; "No. 10 is '; the "main . highway through North Carolina's Western terminus being ,the West, or Southr western line of Cherokee county. Seme years ago. most of No, 10, be tween Bryson City and Murphy, was completed, so far as grading is con cerned, to the point where people could get over it. There was a short section between Nantahala station and Wesser that was not graded the contractor having "gone broke," The Highway Commission might have had that section finished long ago, but for some reason, it did not suit Mr. Stikekather's , plans to permit it. Work on the grading from Sylva, across the Co'wee, to Franklin was pushed, and for a time travel has gone through by ' that route. Recently, work was again begun by way of grading this section on the Nantahala river, and this part of the work is now completed, or about so. Now, a contract has been let for a CON CRETE ROAD from Sylva to Frank-j lin, and a little water bound ma cadam is being put down on this main highway. Why? Manifestly in order that all travel coming into the moun tains of Western North Carolina from the South, Asheville being the objec tive of most of them, may be diverted by way of Clayton, Ga., and Franklin leaving Bryson City and .Murphy altogether on the, main highway "out In the cold," ,Theargument that Ma con county Is loaning the money wi not do. fay day .comes,-ana it is PUBLIC MONEY 'that must replace the cash." We are not familiar with the con troversy over the section of highway No. 10 referred to in Mr. Dillard letter. It may be that our highway commissioner, has neglected that part of No. 10 mentioned. If so, we dare say he has had good and sufficient reasons for so cfoing. We have enough confidence in Mr. Stikekather to be ieve that he is thoroughly conscienti ous in all his actions in regard to building roads in his district. - : Mr. Dillard accuses our highway commissioner -'rjjrejudice .in favo of the, Asheville -Franklin -Atlanta highway and seems to resent the fact that a concrete road is being built across Macqn county. We are of the opinion that Mr. Dillard shows poor taste in attacking and criticising road building . in counties other than his own. We should all be sufficiently broad minded to wish good roads al over Western worth Carolina, cer tainly the Press wishes Mr, Dillard 'success in his efforts to have highway No. 10 completed.' . In this connection it should be re membered that Macon county is spending $90,000, of its own money on the road from Franklin to the Georgia line and Jha't the county is lending more than this amounf to have this road extended to Sylva now , rather than two years henc. In these two projects Mr. Stikekather is only co operating with a county that knows what it wants and i Willing to put up the cash .o have these wants gratified, It should also be remembered that Macon county, due to Jaclr of good roads, has 'always been, economically, a pact of Georgia. And now, when Mr. Stikekather is trying to make Macon county truly a part of North Carolina he must needs be attacked in the public press. By all means let ; Mr. Dillard have his road, but he should have the grace not to bring other counties' into the discussion, V M'r, W. h Cooper, representative of C. Birmingham & company, Certi- ed Accountants of Charlotte, has been in Franklin for some time audit ing all county records and books of account. This work will probably re quire three weeks longer to complete. According to- all reports Mr. former lias found no irregularaties. ' Mr. Barnard Helps Realizing that there will be hnn tlreds of campers here during the TrueU-McConnell meeting Mr. Lee Barnard has graciously offered the use of his camp ground" near the foot of Trimont mountain to acommodate those who desire to camp. At this camp ground is a fine spring and there is an abundance cf dead wood for cooking purposes. It is suggested that the town board build three or four long tables " at Mr. Barnard's camp ground for u?e of the public It will be remembered that this camp ground is the same that the public has been using for years. Our Commissioners The commissioners of Macon coun ty are live wires and are exceedingly active jn the matter of good highways for the county. We are of the opinion that no body of men could have done more in this respect than the present commissioners. They have also been active in Other ways for the better ment of the county, notably in making repairs on the court house and jail and co-operatinig wiith the state and national governments in the campaign to eradicate tuberculosis from the cat tle of the county. The importance of this latter work cannot be over esti mated. The county ' is exceedingly fortunate in having such men at the helm. iReport of the Condition of The Bank of Franklin At Franklin, N.
