Last Week
I
Murphy romped away with the Sylva
baseball aggregationc here thl?
week, taking a two game series from
the visitors by a large margin on
both Tuesday and Wednesday after-;
neon?. The heavy hitting of the lo-j
cals, combintd with the good work'
of Green in the box for Murphy, larg-j
ely accounted for the 12 to 5 victory!
over the visitors on Tuesday, wh.'.e
a general lack of pep on the part of'
the visitors accounted for the unu>-1
aal victory oi 17 to 1 on Wednesday
afternoon. Thr Sylva aggregation,
drafted several Andrews players for!
the Wednesday game but were un-1
able to make any headway against j
ehe strong local team.
The home runs of Leatherwood and j
Hasty on Tuesday, together with
Wheeler's two triples, were outstand-?
ing batting feature?, while Green's
mound work?striking out 15 of the
Sylva batsmen?was unusual. Fain
pitched a good game Wednesday. A
summary of the games follows:
Tuesday Afternoon:
Sylva: Hits 9; runs 5; errors 4; batteries,
Davis and Davis.
Murphy: Hits 17; runs 12; errors
1; batteries. Green and Leatherwood.
Wednesday Afternoou:
Sylva: Hits 9; runs 1; errors 6;
batteries, Humphrey and Bales.
Murphy: Hits 21; runs 19; errors
2* batteries Fain and Leatherwood.
On Thursday, July 24th, the locals
swooped down upon the strong Copperhill
aggregation in their own territory
and took the bijar end of a 6
to 3 score after the latter had invaded
th" locals battle ground and got away
with the big end of two contests in^
a row. However, our neighbors in i
East Tennessee turned the tables on
their visitors on Friday the 25th and
evened u pthe series with a ten to five
victory.
A strong rivalry has always existed
between the locals and their East
Tennessee neighbors and the series ol
two games to be played with them on
the local park next week will draw
a record breaking crowd, it is ex-j
pected.
The strong Canton team is here
Friday and Saturday of this week for J
a two-game series.

WATER SUPPLY
DI IMKTIxr^ *
LUW
Users of water# arc urgvd to
be a# conservative with the use
of water as possible unt?i the
dry period abates as the supply
has been reduced almost beyond
the point of safety, stated city
officials this week.
Ail users are requested not to
use the water to sprinkle the
streets or yards or to water the
gardens or lawns. If this is continued
it may become necessary
to take drastic steps to limit the
use c? wzter. A few good rains
\ ou.d somev hat alleviate the
situation. However, steps must
b- taken in the near future to
increase the supply and it is understood
that the Mayor and City
council are making investigations
at the present time with
this end in view.
Holding Revival
Meeting In Hayesville
This Week
A revival meeting is being held In
Hayesville this week under the auspl.
cea of the Presbyterian Church, Rev.
E. G. Clary, of the Murphy chuurch
doing the preaching. Mr. D. P.
McGeachy, a seminary student, who
has been working in this territory
during the summer is assisting Mr.
Clary and leading the singing. A special
quartette of male voices from
Murphy, including Messrs. Stonecipher,
Gibbons, Storey and McGeachy,
rendered some good music Wednesday
night, and will probably sing
again Friday night.
Services are being,held twice daily
all during the week, Mr. McGeachy
beginning the meeting Sunday, July
27th and Mr. Clary * taking up the
work Monday. A children's service
is held every morning while the regular
service is held in the evening.
The attendanec has been quite good
throughout xhe week. The special
service will probably close Sunday.
Mr. Clary will return for services In
the Murphy church, while Mf. McGeachy
will have charge of the servico
in Hayeaville Sunday.

Representative and Airs. J. H. Dil. i
A
lard will leave here Saturday morns'
ing enroute to Raleiph for the special
session of the Legislature that Is to|?
convene in the capital city on Thurs- is
day. Representative Dillard vflould ^
not commit himself on the Governproposition,
though he did go so a|
far as to say that he did ml know t;
about the state's operating ships, tl
pointing out that the United Stat is
Shipping board had lost millions last [ o
year and previous years operating h
merchant vessels. While he would not j h
commit himself, he left the impres- j e<
sion that he at least had an open n
mind on the port proposal. As to i c<
whether or not the construction of j f i
these terminals will build up a large I o
city at the expense of the rest of the ir
state will be a deciding factor in the p
way Mr. Eillard throws his influence h
in the legislature. He made it clear !<
that he would be against the terminal n
proposition if such a result were like- o
ly to follow their construction. It k
was his opinion that the prosperity o
oi Morm caronna was out* in a large ci
measure to the hundreds of small a
cities and good substantial towns in ei
the state and expressed the hope that
a great metropolitian city would nev- ?
er be built in this commonwealth.
Mr. and Mrs. Dillard plan to spend
the week-end in Reidsville with his
sist-r, journeying on down to Raleigh j
| early in the week. I ^
j Senator George B. Walker, of An- y
, drews, expressed himself several y
weeks ago as being in favor of the re- 0
j port of the Ship and Water Trans- t(
' portatibn Commission and there Is Q
j no reason to believe that he has chan- ^
gtd his mind. He will leave the first tj
of the week for Raleigh.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wi?h to thank the people of *
this community for the many kind- ^
nesses, words of encouragement, flo- t
ral tributes and other expressions of y
sympathy shown us during the sick- t
ness and death of our dear father. ^

In order that they may take advantage
of the sermons that Dr. Geo.
\V. Truett will deliver here twice daily
from August 10th to the 22nd, the
j Baptist pastors and church leaders
of Western North Carolina are calling
their conference to be held in
Murphy sometime during Dr. Truett
*s meeting, according to long distance
telephone communications received
hero this week from Dr. Chas.
E. Maddry, corresponding secretary
of the North Carolina Baptist Association.
Dr. Maddry will be present
to preside over the conference, which
will meet at such hours as not to conflict
with the Truett services. The
detailed arrangements, however, are
in tho hands of Dr. Maddry's convention
board representative, Rev. R.
L. Randolph, of Bryson City, who has
not yet definitely determined upon
the exact dates of the conference. It
is settled, however, that it will be
during Dr. Truett's stay here. This
conference alone insures the presence
of scores of visitors from all over
the western part of North Carolina
to the Truett Meeting. Hundreds of
others are expected to be here from
distant points and thousands fronj
neighboring counties and towns.
In order to take care of these visitors
plans are going steadily forward
according to announcements given
out by members of the executive
committee in charge of arrangements
Besides the hotels, restaurants and
cafes, arrangements are being made
to feed from five hundred to a
thousand ul each meal on the park
where the meeting will he held. The
lower portion of the Cherokee County
Fair building is being cleared out
and a kitchen wil be opened in one
end and a -eating capacity for several
hundred guests will be provided.
The women of the church are aiding
the committee in this feature of the
arrangements, which insures its complete
success.
The canvass of the town for rooms
and board for visitors is going steadily
forward and by the end of the week
Chairman R. F. Williamson expects
to have a complete roster of all available
sleeping quarters in town arranged
so that he can direct guests
to them who will not be able to find
lodging in the hotels and rooming
houses. During the meeting an information
bureau will be kept open
where visitors may go for any information
about places where they may
be directed to points of interest where
they may spend their leisure time between
the hours of the services,
which will be held at a morning and
an evening hour, to be arranged after
Dr. Truett's arrival.
This week will also see the completion
of the large tabernacle which 19
being built on Cherokee Park for the
meeting, as no structure in Murphy
is large enough to accomodate the
hundreds that wil be here during
these ten days. The tabernacle adjoins
the fair builditng, the large
grandstand of which also becomes
available for seating purposes.
In order to provide entertainment
for the visitors from distant. n?5nt?
a series of baseball games are being*
arranged by the manages of the local
team. On the 13th and 14th, Etowah.
Tenn., will play the locals on
Cherokee Park; on the 15th and 16th
Copper hill will be here for two games
