Horton, president of the Cove Creek Co-operative Chesse Factory, and sales agent for Watauga and Ashe counties, and Mr. Parnham, promoter and general manager of thecheese in dustry in the mountain counties, were in the village Monday, and gave The Democrat this interest ing information: Mr. Horton said that, on last Friday, he shipped from Shouns, Tenn., 1,008 cas es of cheese, containing 23,043 pounds, this being the June pro duct, as far as cured, from Wa tauga alone; this shipment hav ing put into the pockets of Wa tauga farmers the snug sum of 47 i79 a-?. Thpv ftrp deeidedlv of the opinion that this year they will ship from Watauga at least $50,000 worth of cheese, and, as they express it, the industry' is s Jill in its infancy. Mr. Horton went from here to Ashe county, to make a similar shipment. The best strains of cattle for cheese making was discussed, and they aro confident that the Holstein strain has no pier for both quali ty and quantity of milk, and gave one cow in the county as an illus tration. Mr. Thomas Greer, of Blowing Rock, R. F. D., a. patron of the New River factory, owns a Holstein cow, said Mr. Farn ham, that is the champion of the cbuaty. She isbeingmi'.ked three times a day, and is now givirg on an average of 58 pounds ol choice milk every 24 hours, the day's yield, delivered at the fac tory, bringing the owner 1.55 par day with no feed save grass. The time is near, they think, when Watauga and adjoining counties will be as far-famed for their fine herds of Holstein cattle, as those of Wisconsin or any other state. The cheese making, poul try raising, etc., have attracted fie attention of Armour & Co.. of Chicago, and within the next few days they will have two rep resentatives in Watauga looking over the territory with a view to erecting a cold storage plant in Boone. E. S. Coftej Resigns is Tax Supunlsor. Atty. E. S. Coffey, who was ap pointed some weeks ago as tax supervisor for Watauga county and has since been actively en gaged in the preliminary work, wired his resignation to the State Tax Commission last Monday evening. Mr. Coffey was well fit ted for the responsible position, and his friends are sorry that he could not see his way clear to hold it. We have heard that Mr. John Ward, of Watauga Falls, has been suggested to sue ceed Mr. Coffey, and we feel that his appointment would be highly satisfactory, as he is a thorough business man and has had con siderable experience in the pub lic affairs ofthecounty. The emol uments of the office are '$1,800 per year, with expenses. A Pleasant Outing. On Sunday last theBaptistand Methodist Sunday schools of Boone, joined in a union picnie at Cranberry, an excursion being run for theoccasion. Agent John son tells The Democrat that he sold 262 tickets for the trip, with t vo stops, Winkler Siding and Hodges Gap after they left the depot here. Rev. Mr. Cross, pas tor of the Boone Baptist church, headed the crowd, and we are to'd that the occasion was a very enjoyable one. They all speak in the highest terms of the good psople of Cranberry, who did so ' much to make the occasion the -pleasant affair it was. The Elevation of Boone. Editor Demockat: A corres pondent in last weeks Democrat in giving an account of the recep tion to the soldiers in Boone on the 4th instant, repeats and reaf firms the anejent shiboleth that Boone is the highest 'county seat' east of the Rocky Mountains. Watauga has ample attractions that are justly her's without ma king claims that are preposter ous and ridiculous, ltmust be re membered that more than two thirds, of the territory of the great states of Colorado and Wy oming is east of the Rockeys.and that such cities as Denver in Pol orado, and Cheyenne in Wyo ming, are many miles east of the Rocky mountains, and both are more than 2,000 feet higher than Boone, and both State capitals, as well as county seats; while Leadville, the county seatof Lake county,. Colorado, is near 7,000 feet higher than Boone. The fact is that it would be a hard matter to find any square mile in the en tire State of Colorado that could not look down upon Boone from a greater elevation. There are doz ens and dozens of county seats in both Colorado and Wyoming higher, and some of thorn much oigher than Boone, while even in Western Kansas, which is gener ally consideaed a Hat State, there are several county towns with a greater elevation. To come nearer home, the ad joining county of Avery asserts with confidence that its county seatof Newland is from 2!K) to 3 X) feet higher than Boone. This can be ascertained. In the mean time the people of Watauga are too.intelligent to continue to as sert a claim that tends to create doubt and throw suspicion upon other attractions and advantages fiat truly and favored county. S lppose we haul in and stop at the Mississippi River.and then level between Boone and Newland. Edmund Jones Lenoir, N. C. Mobile Schools. These are Baptist institutions. They are called Mobile Schools because they are movable, and because they are mobilizing the Baptist jxjople in North Carolina for action in the great day that is now breaking upon the world. During the third week in this j month there are to be forty of these Mobile Schools in North Carolina all running at one time from the mountains to the ocean. Among these forty Mobile Schools the one that is of pecu liar interest to the readers of this paper is to be in session at Boone N. 0. July 21-25. The faculty and studies of this Mobile School are as follows: Dean, R. 1). Cross; Sunday Schools, A. J. Greene; Atone- mnnt fi 1 A lintmaf Int. VI V P U., I. G. Greer; Stewardship and! Missions, lv. 1). Stukenbrok; Bi ble, M. A. Adams; I readier, J. C. Gillespie; Host, R. 1). Cross. Five days of intensive drill work is to be done in this school. It is expected that at least two members form every Baptist Church in this section of the State will be in attendance at this School. Entertainment ais fur nished by the Boone people. The Mobile School work is a new line of work in the churches; it shows how the Christian de nominations are mobilizing and drilling for the conquest of the world. Our crowns must be made into Christian armies now, or what has been gained in this great war is lost. R. I). Cuoss, Dean and Host.

The summer Term of the Ap palachian Training School came to a close Friday with the Com mencemeut exercises, In the forenoon Hon. Chase Breniser, of Charlotte, delivered the ad dress taking for his subject Op timism. The subject was timely and the speaker handled it with thought and skill, impressing many valuable points with apt illustrations. In the afternoon was the class day exercise, which was far above the average and well received by the many friend of the class There were six graduates, three boys and three girls, one also being a graduate in art. It should be said to the credit of the class that the stand ing of the class was high, each having to his credit 20 or more units, none falling below that po int. Miss Parrot, of the State Board, was at the School the last day. The Seniors of the Training School with some assistance gave a play in the auditorium on last Thursday evening, the proceeds going to the Student's Loan Fund and realized about $75.00 for that worthy object. Dr. Frank P. Bockman, of the General Board of Education, now located in New York City, was at t!ie School on Thursday and made a talk to the students impressing u,)on those who are to be teach ers that they should see to it that thi school houses and school grounds of the State should be made attractive.
