"North Carolina is peculiarly rich

"In very few instances are the products
of these quarries given trade.

"Royal Blue" is the trade name ;
for a medium-grained marble of:
Cherokee County, which ranges in j
color from a light to a dark blue, 1
with veigns and mottlings of white. 1
It is used for decorating and monn-j
mental purposes. "Royal Blue, No. '

Cherokee County rais'.d $40.n0 for

state chairman of the great

In announcing these figures, Co!.

his sum, and all of thos.. who helped
Ir. Christopher. He had many dificulties

As the Near East Relief in its

DR. S. W. BATTLE
RETURNS FROM
EUROPEAN TRIP
Murphy People Wwl Co* Interested in
Citizen's Views of European
Situation
No man can toll what the next 24
hours may produce for good or bad
said Dr. S. WVstrai* Battle on his return
from Europe a few days ago,
where hi spent the last three months
studying the European situation. Dr.
Battle left Asheville the first of June
and spent th,. entire summer in Europe,
where he had unusual opportunities
to study tho situation abroad
and his views will be read with interest.
as ho is well known here and is
a largo property holder and interested
in this community.
In discussing the situation, Dr.
Battle suiil : "Already 011.111011.- and
with the black clouds of war already
to burst,, the political s tuation has
become eve,, more gravely threatening
by the quarrel of Italy and
Greece. The nations are armed singly
and iM groups tcnatively allied are
. 0 conspicuous of the moves and mo ti\.s
of others that any incident is
capable of bringing a shackle n.-ace
structure tumbling to the ground.
"France is in the Rhur to -tay until
her demands are satisfied, and it
is a v.a tc of words to argue against
this unanimous sentment of the
French people. And while the Brit|
is government opposes the French
policy, the British people are generally
in accord with it, but on the contrary
syinpathize wn.y the Frer.*;h
position. They wish to continue the
Franco-British aliance.
Dr. Battle spent considerable time
in France, especially Normandy,
with his daughter, Mrs. Mortimer
Hancock, whom he joined at her
English home and who will soon come
to this country to visit her father
and relatives in this State. Mrs.
Hancock's son, Westray Battle Hancock,
was one of the leaders of a
class of young men recently admit- j
ted to Sandhurst, the British West
Point, from which he will be commis-!
sioned i n^e army in two years probably.
Upon his arrival from Rotterdam.
Dr. Battle joined Mrs. Battle, who
has spent much of the Summer at
Marblchiad, Mass. He will go to,
New York in a week and after a short'
time it is expected that he and Mis.
Battle will return to Asheville. He j
i? temporarily at the Asheville Club.

At a conference betw.cn officials
of the Chamber of Commerce and
. Superintendent M. Sai vvnt. of the k.

an.i maintenance of the L. A: X.
Railway yards in Murphy. Mr. Sar,r:?t
eanu to Murphy at the request
the Chamber of Commerce and
i:y officials to discuss plans for improving
thi railway yards and while
v\.. hoped that the road cross the

difficult.cs presented themselves that

It has not yet be,.n definitely determined
ju t what the nature of the
planting will be, but a < onimitiee is
at work considering the layout and
the sort of plants that would be most
suitable for the waste space on the
station yard.
Plans for enlarging the yards of
the railway company were discussed
but ??n di-' nit' concit.uon was reach|
t,i.
"The increase of freight business
in and out of Murphy demands that
more yard space be d \ t loped in the
near future so that oar company can
serve the shippers of this territory
better," said .Mr. Sargent, "and railway
officials are giving the matter
attention," he contumd.
It is expected that the next fevc

the freight business of this s.'Cton.
