With 50 charter members, and the
assurance that at least $25,000 will
be raised in a stock and membership
drive to be launched in the near fu
ture, the Haywood County Branch of
the Farmers' Federation, began bus
iness yesterday.
H. A. Osborne of Canton, was
elected president of the Hnywood
Federation at the organization meet
ing Tuesday at Waynesville. Tom
Rogers, of Clyde, was elected secre
tary -and treasurer; and Z. C. Davis,
of the Waynesville section, . was
named vice-president.
The new unit of the Farmers'
Federation is under the guidance of
n Board of Directors Including, the
business men and farmers of Hay
wood County. This lmilrd includes:
II. A. Osborne, Canton; R. T. Hoyd
Waynesville, T. L. Clwynn, Canton;
Tom Rogers, Clyde; G. C. Pnlmer,
Crabtrec Z. C. Davis, Waynesville:
and W. A. Moore, -of Waynesville.
Success seems assured the Federa
tion from the start, declare the new
directors. Instead of starting witli
an enirely new business the Hr-y-
wood County Federation is taking
over the established produce business
of Fisli and Rhinchnrt, of Canton,
and Wnynesville.
Mr. Fish and Mr. llhinehart will
become executives of the Haywood
County Branch of the Farmers' Fed
cration and will manage the ware
houses to be established at Canton
and Waynesville. For nearly 30
years, Fish and Rhinehart have oper
ated a successful produce business.
The Federation will not only en
large this business on co-operative
principles, but will build up the oth
er important feature of the Fcdera
tion, co-operative buying of feeds.
fertilizers aad farm supplies to ad
vaotajge.
Enthusiasaa marks the mairgura
lion in this county of the Fanners'
Federation, It's brilliant success in
Buncombe and Henderson counties
tras been snatched with interest by
Haywood county farmers and liusi
ness men who are now keeping pace
with the progress of the fsrnser in
looking after his own business.
The fact that the Farmers' Federa
tion members in Buncombe and Jien
derson cotnaties have never failed to
receive six percent dividends annual
ly during the five years of the .Fed
eration's existence,, making it ensi
er for the Haywood county orgnniz
crs to interest the fanner.
The drive for stock and member
ship in this county comes altautit at
tie same tune that the Fanners'
Federation of Ashcville is staging
it's last public subscription cam
paign. The main organizathaa Ihas
grown so rapidly and has increased
its business fcy leaps and bounds un
til it is necesary to secure addition
al capital to handle the tremendous
volume of butiiiiess it is enjoying.
According to James 15. K. McCiu-rc,
Jr., of As"2vilJe, president of the
Federation tlic Buncombe and Hen
derson county warehouses will do
over a million dollar business this
year. To date, it has paid stock
holders over $.'tv000 in dividends, lie-
sides saving thousands of dollars in
trade dividends.
In the initial drive in Haywood
county, the local organization will
seek the aid lirst of the leading
farmers and business men, most of
whom arc already lined up behind
the new organization. While jthli-
ated with the Ashcville organization
the Haywood County Branch is
practically an independent organiza
tion but it has all the experience,
prestige and support of the main organization.
TO LIVE HERE.
Mr. F. L. Terry of Miami, Fla.
who has purchased the Walter Hyatt
Superintendent Wni. C. Allen an
nounced this week that with the
beginning next Monday, August
ill, of the Wnynesville Township
Township schools and Tuesday, Sep
tember 1, of the Canton City schools
nil the schools of Hnywood county
will be in full swing. More than
six thousand children will then be go
ing to school regularly in liaywoo.l
county, mid more than two hundred
teachers will be doing regular ser
vice in teaching the young idea how
to shoot.
Considerable care has been exer
cised by the Hoard of Education and
the Superintendent in gelling the
V.mcMiWry of the various districts
well oiled ami in good working or
der. Most of the country districts
hcgiin sessions the lirst Monday in
therefore, end I he lust of I hi-, week.
Alter this week only the liock
Spring school will be left unopened.
A new school liou.se is being liuilt in
that district which will delay the
hrginniug until near the lirst ..
October.
.s a matter of information, it mav
lie staled that the Hoard of Educa
tion has put on the runs in trans
port ing hitfh school children to the
(Hire rent high schools in t lie coun
ty eleven busses that will after
next Monday he making regular
runs in carrying about four hun
dred students to school each day.
How different this method is from
the old thnt obtained in North Car
olina for so many years.
On the run from Crabtrec and
Iron Duff to Clyde there are two
blisses that bring each day about
sixty children to that school. Cen
tering in Waynesville, there arc
four busses, one from Maggie that
will bring from that school and the
Dcllwooil school about forty chil
dren; another from Uike Junaluska
bringing about thirty; a third from
Allen's Creek and San nook bring
ing about thirty-five; and a fourth
from Fairview, Francis Cove, and
liutclifl Cove landing nearly forty
each day at the high school. With
Bethel high school as a center,
three busses are in active service
bringing from Sunburst, Cruso and
(iurden Creek some hundred or more
children to the high school at that
point. Canton will have only one
bus centering there because of the
fact that the present facilities of
the Canon high school, no more can
be taken although there are many
children in Hraiwiliini townshiu
that logically shonild be centered in
that high school. One other bus
line is in Lines Creek township
currying to and from the Hiram
Rogers school me. re than thirty
students each day.
One matter that .concerns Way
nesville township ftuily is the fuel
that the line between Waynesville
Elementary .school and the Fast
Waynesville school has been chang
ed by the Board of F.ducat ion. The
new line is the flow of Shellon
Branch. All children west and
south of that line must go to the
Waynesville Elementary school and
those on I lie- north and east must go
to East Waynesville. Of ouirse all
high school students go to the town
ship high school from any point in
the township.
All of the above information was
obtained from the county super
intendent, who stated that he nev
er saw a better prospect for Mood
country schools than are in evi
dence this year. Kvcry district has
entthusinstlc teachers and commit
teemen, and the children are also
alive o the importance of making
the very best of the opportunity.
It is to he expected that this year
year will be one of the best ever
ecorded in the country schools. With
everybody wanting better schools
