The Hospital
Bonds Carried
Haywood county has taken another
step in progressiveness by voting
$100,000 in bonds for the support of a
county hospital to be maintained by
county taxes.
The influx of tourists and the grow
ing population of Waynesville, in ad
dition to the crew of working men at
the Sum-rest Lumber Company, an
enormous lumber plant that has re
cently moved to this locality, renders
a hospital invaluable in a case of
emergency.
The people of Haywood county
have realized the great need of a
hospital in this community since the
old establishment was forced to close
its doors. Haywood has recognized her
responsibility in providing a place
where her sick can receive treatment
and be properly cared for in suitable
quarters.
Dr. J. Howell Way, President of the
State Board of Health, and also one
of the outstanding figures in the
medical profession, has urged the es
tablishment of a public hospital in
our county to meet the needs of our
people.
The hospital will prove a great
asset to our people, community and
county. ' .
Haywood will be recognized among
the leading counties of the state with
her marked progress that she has
experienced during the past few
years.

Chimney Rock, June 7. Taking
ipeedy motor boat to school in lieu
of the familiar Bchool bus, Will be
the enjoyable and novel experience
befalling children of Lake Lure res
idents in future. Since plans have
practVcally been completed for the
immediate construction of a (42,000
permanent' type school house upon
lots 15, 16 and 17 in Luremont, the
initial-residential section now being
rapidly developed here.
The site for the school has been
donated by Chimney Rock Mountains,
Inc., to the Rutherford county board
of education. Construction will
start at once, the finished plans being
prepared by G. Lloyd Preacher, noted
Atlanta Architect, making use of the
Northern Italian style adopted as the
motif for Lake Lure buildings. The
school will be sufficient for 336 pupils,
and the commanding location near
Lake Lure will make it possible to
serve this tract both by water routes
and by N. C. 20, the new link of
which runs close by. Site for a
modern high school building over
looking the golf course, ha likewise
been donated by the Lake Luve devol
opers for a secoqd building.
Plans have just been received from
Robert P. McGoodwin, Philadelphia
architect, for a dancing and pleasure
pavilion to be built immediately, jut
ting out into Lurenvor;t Bay near the
Lake Lure Inn which will open its
doors in August.
, i This dance pavilion nearly sur
rounded by water, will also be in
Northern Italian architecture, with a
floor measuring 75 by 75 feet in tha
clear. An arcaded balcony will give
access by aposing flight of steps to
large floats at which pleasure may
moor. The site selected is close to
the new Pool Creek arch type bridge
upon the new link of State Highway
No. 20 traversing Luremont. Hollow
tile, concrete and otner durable ma
terial will be used throughout, with
predominating colors, white, red and
green. A children'? wading beach is
to be prepared nearby, while not far
distant will be the general bathing
beaches, heavily landed.

TWENTY-FOUR STUDENTS FROM
HAYWOOD AT CLXLOWHEE
NORMAL.
Cullowhee, N. C, June 7. Al
though nearly one-tenth of the 350
students enrolled at Cullowhee State
Normal for the first session of the
summer school are from other states,
the enrollment figures show that the
school is pre-eminently a training
school for Western North Carolina
teachers. The eight North Carolina
counties leading in number of stu
dents enrolled are: Jackson, with 46;
Buncombe, with 37; Macon, with 32;
Haywood, with 24; Swain, with 24;
Clay, with 15; Madison, with 14; and
Cherokee with 13.
With the exception of Boone Train
ing school, Cullowhee is the only
state normal this side of Greens
boro, and this probably accounts in
part for the unusually large enroll
ment regardless of the fac: that
Western North Carolina has five sum
mer schools for teachers.
Dormitories Overflowing.
Although the Cullowhee officials
have tried to provide all dormitory
space possible for the summer school
students, dormitories are overflowing
and already plans are being made to
provide more room for a still larger
enrollment for next summer.
The rapid growth of the inslitu

Dear Mr. Band and Staff:
We are nearinj our journey end
and arrive at Athens at 2 p m. today
and will give Europe the once over,
leaving South Hampton, Eng. June
5th for New York. We enjoyed our
overland trips through India very
much. Of course the weather was
exceedingly warm. However, the
railroads operated by the British
give excellent service, each car has
two compartments and have four
berths in each compartment provided
with electric fans and shower bath.
There is no passage way from one
car to the other and at meal time
the special train which we were , on
would stop and everybody would get
off and go ahead to the dining car and
train would go on, then in about an
hour it would stop and the passen
gers would all go back to their re
spective compartments. The manner
of serving meals is rather different
from our usual custom, namely, five
meals are served daily, about 6:30
a. m. the train would stop for early
breakfast, in the schedule it is called
choto Haxri, then at 8 o'clock regu
lar breakfast, at noon lunch is
served with sandwiches, rakes and
cookies. Then the big feed at 6 p. m.
I managed to show up at all these
different meals, but would not eat so
much at each meal. We often longed
for some good spring water from
home. You don't dare drink the
water served with weals on t'.if
trains. There water eeaters are un
known anywhere in this country.
You are supposed to buy bottled
drinks, soda water, etc., most eft.

' We visited Calcutta Cawnpose,
Lucknow,. Delhi, th capital of Agra,
where the finest building in the world
is, and Bombay. Of course Benares
is of historical interest. It is the
Holy City of this country, filled with
grand looking temples and shrines.
Many of them of gold. Some fac
ing the famous gauges River, and
have stairs descending to the river,
making room for multitudes of na
tives who come down to the river and
bath every morning early as a -o-ligious
observance. We were all in
boats and rode for hours, watching

shores they have their burning

on a pile of wood (the wealthy use

any bones not entirely consumed, they
just throw in the river. In Bombay
there is a religious faction who place
their dead in an open space and let
vultures eat them up. This place is
called the Tower of Silence and it
was rather gruesome to sec about
200 buzzards sitting around on the
edge of the wall waiting for another
feast and I still repeat that we will
be glad to get home where we seem
to be a bit more civilized. The

Condensed State
News from Raleigh
(By M. L. Shipman.)
Raleigh, June 7. Interest in the
primary of Saturday was the absorb
ing item in Ra'cgh during the past
week, but there were other things
which interested the citizens. The
hearing on the increase in state fire
insurance mutters claimed some at
tention. The voters in this section manifest
ed great interest and all during Sat
urday, despite weather which was not
favorable, the polls were crowded.
The local interest centered largely
on the fight for the Solicitorship be
tween W. F. Evans and Leon G.
Brassfield. The Overman-Revnolds
j fiKnt c,aimt'd s"e attention, but the
local politics overshadowed in inter
est all others. At the close of a bit
ter campaign in which Evans ran
for re-election solely on the record he
had made while Brassficld, a nice
young man of pleasing personality,
because of the fact that Evans had
upheld the law, had gathered to him
self a heterogeneous collection of
voters, which included some from
every class. The issue was in doubt
until the last vote had been counted.
The Overman-Reynolds race claimed
attention toward the last when it be-
came manifest that Reynolds was
making a surprising race.
Unofficial received up to noon to -
day indicate an overwhelminging ma
jority for Senator Overman over
Robert R. Renolds for United States
Senator. Reports from sixty coun
ties give Overman 85,781; Reynolds,
29,469. These reports come from less
than half the precincts and Manager

The final court chapter in the re-
ccivership proceeding against the Tri
State Tobacco Growers Co-operative
Marketing Association probably was
written this week. When all argu
ment in the suit to dissolve the or

ed that bv June 20 he wmld hand
down his decision and that it proba
bly would dissolution by the plaintiffs

Judge Meekins indicated h;- leant d
toward denying the receive vh in p.'ea
and appointing a lawyer to assist
the co-op management in handling
its affairs. This lawyer to be the
representative of the Federal court.
This would obviate further legalities,
but the judge said he would not de
cide definitely until several days had
passed and all the testimony had been
digested.
The recent increase in fire insurance
Underwriters Association was the
subject of a hearing before Insurance
Commissioncri Stacy W. Wade during
the week. Saturday Mr. Wade an
nounced after hearing all the facta
presented be was of the opinion the
increase was warranted in order that
the fire insurance companies might
operate' in North Carolina at a profit.
The increase is statewide and applies
on all mercantile . risks but not on
residences.

THE
TWENTIETH
RACE.
DISTRICT
Kditoiial in The Asheville Times of
of Thursday.
J. D. Mallonee's reported intention
of asking for a second primary in the
race for the judgeship in the Twen
tieth District is legally supported
and naturally understandable, but
Mr. Mallonee, on reflection, may find
other j-easons to negative his contem
plated resolve.
Walter E. Moore has long served
the people of the West and the Stat
in many capacities, though with few
public honors. Mr. Mallonee is at
the beginning of his career. Vrould
it not be a gracious act if the vun-ner-up
in this judicial race should
waive his rights and permit Mr.
Monro to sit on the bench of his .lis-
ti ict without any further balloting
to decide who shall be judge?
A second primary means additicn
all public expense, although the law
provides for it. The sentiment of
the people is ususilly opposed to a
twice-run political race. The rar-ji-date
who gracefully stands nsidu in
favor of the highest man gains
friends; he who calls for another
contest sometimes loses friends who
supported him in the first instanc.
It is not saying too much to state
that Mr. Mallonee has before him the
opportunity to make reasonably cer
tain his election to oflSce at another
time by retiring mow from a flsld .
where he has a clearly lawful title
to remain a contend r. To rftire
is often the better p't of valor and
of wisdom.
