Wed-1 flesday evening preached a sermon j the theme of which was the love of; God.

ASKING HELP IN FIRE PREVENTION ; Holdings in Clay County Are Offer- , j ed for Free Range To Cattle Men The Savage Brothers and the Hia- , wassee River Lumber Company is- 1 sued a statement a few days ago In which they asked the co-operation of ' the people in preventing forest fires j on their holdings Is Clay County. In issuing the statement there was no thought of limiting the right of free "i uuniing nnu u^iurij^ privileges on the land. In fact, the state- , ment made it clear that it was deslr- , ed that the people would avail them- ] selves o-fi these rights as they have , during the past few years. At the , same time, the co-operation of the ? people was asked in keeping fires out t of the woods. This is the season of the year when . fires nre most prevalent. Hunters t and others are often careless as they ] pass through the woods and drop , burning matches, lighted cigarettes, ] etc. Even though the larger trees ( may not actually be killed by the for- ( est fires, yet they are seriously injured and all the young trees are destrowed. Also, the humus and vegetable matter on the ground is destroyed. which means the loss of much plant food to the growing timber j, and other vegetation. A little fore thought on the part of those u.^'ng the wvods will do away with the forest fire menace. Cherokee Grcwer.

The earth tremors, to which the disturbance was j due, were felt all over southwestern North Carolina, and parts of South j Carolina and Georgia. They were j probably due to internal disturbance? of some sort but their origin has not j yet been determined. Seismograph? in the national capital, machines so delicate that men walking near will shake the earth sufficiently to be recorded by them, showed no record of this quake, to the utter amazement. Since no word has been received from any part of the world of the visitation of an earthquake, it Is, that the disturbance Sunday night j was only local in character. It's or-1 is an old mountain region and it is igin is unknown and unexplained. This i not likely that a fault occurred in! the rock strata. On the other hand, it is not a limestone region, and it i is not likely that an underground j cavern gave way. Further, this Is I not a volcanic region and it is al- j together unlikely that the shock was; due to the intrusion of hot lava. As J these are the most frequent causes of earthquakes, scientists are at a I loss to explain the shocks that visited this section. Officials of the Asheville weather burear report that the Sunday night disturbance was the first since 188G | recorded there. However, citizens] here remember a slight quake in this j section* some fifteen years ago. MRS. LOVINGOOD DIED THURSDAY j OF LONG ILLNESS Funeral Service* Held Friday Morntug At BsjjI"!

She had been confined to her bed for weeks. The funeral service was held Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the Baptist Ohurch, her pastor, Rev. T. L. Sasser, being in charge.

Aply tto Mrs DCOUt | this Section of Western ROAD MEETING ] HELD THURSDAY I N LIBRARY Commissioner Stikeleather Explains Method of Distributing Road Money More Needed Speaking before a gooe representative crowd of business men aad clt- ( j izens of the town last Thursday night 1 'at thf Librarv. ('nmiaainnor ?i ! leather, of the Ninth North Carolina \ | Road District, explained how road , funds had been aportioned td the various counties of the state, gave In ! detail the amount spent thus far In ; Cherokee, promised the county help I in the future if more bonds are vol- , i ed and predicted the early comple- . | tion of the road to Asheville. Mr. I Stikvleather came to Murphy by re- ' quest to look into the road situation 1 : here. Aaid was promised in the near ] j future to make the road through town passable during the winter months. , The grading and leveling up of the I road is being hastened so thet a tern- ' porary surface can be put on it before 1 the bad weather sets in. The main- ! tenance crew of this section of No. j 10 highway, it is understood, will soon begin this work. Maintenance Engineer Threlkel, of this district, * with Mr. Stikelcather and promised to 1 get his men on the surfacing work 1 as quickly as possible. J Mayor W. M. Fain presided at the I meeting at the Library and introduced the commissioner. Mr. Stikeleath- ] cr had gotten word from some quar-j ter that the people of this county felt' that they were not getting as much' road work done in the county as they j should in comparison with some oth-1 | er counties. Dispelling this idea, the j speaker explained the method of allotting funds and pointed out in de-! tail the various amounts spent of being spent in the county. Under the ^ state highway law funds are appor- j lioned according to population, road j mileage and are of the county. Ac cording to this method of allotment, j Cherokee brought into the districa ;? $ou4,uuu. rnc toilowing amounts \ have been spent, or are being spent,; , on road in the county: j, Project 910, Andrews to Topton, 7.56 miles, cost $146,440; project 911 , road from Murphy to Bellevlcw, 10.-', 32 miles, cost of grading $92,590*, , project 912, bridges on Murphy to , Andrews road, $93,670; project 912A, grading from Murphy to Marble, , 8.62 miles, $89,110; project 912-B, grading from Marble t<^ Andrews, ; $36,280; project 913, surfacing of , j Bellevied roado, $99,550; project 914 j 'repairing bridges on No. 10 in Mur-jj j phy, $5100. This makes a total of , I $562,700, or about $5S,000 more , I than Cherokee had been allotted under the state law. , | Mr. Stikeleathei4 expressed the opinion that the next legislature | would vote additional bonds and that | this would make possible further road ! work in the county. The first work j in such case, would be surfacing the j Andrews road, the commissioner said, i He also hoped to do some other work j in the county. One of the ways the | people can get the bonds Is to bring j pressure to bear on the legislature i when it convenes in January-, said Mr. j Stikeleather. He pointed outs that: i the automobile license fees and gaso- j ! line tax would be sufficient to pay I the interest, maintain the roads and J provide a sinking fund to pay the ad, ditional bonds and expressed the be\ lief that the bonds would be voted j without any trouble. i The commissioner made the prcdici tion, during the course of his remarks, i j that No. 10 highway would be openj ed to Ashcville by the middle of Jan-, j uary if weather conditions permitted, j He pointed out that the work was be-1 ! ing pushed as rapidly as possible. . The grading is nearly all done, except j ! a section in the Nantahala section ; and this has been roughed out. The j final grade is now being established.; j Cenainly by next summer, a good | road will be open to Ashevllle. j The highway officials visited othII er counties while in this section.

ZEB WEAVER HEARD TUESDAY AT COURTHOUSE U Making Strenuous Campaign In District?Believes He Will Win Election "k Congressman Zebulon Weaver, of the Tenth North Carolina district, spoke in the court house Tuesday afternoon to a goodly number of V friends and admirers on the issues j involved in the present campaign. He spoke Tuesday night in Andrews and the preceding week-end he made adiresses at Hayesville and Robbinsrille. Mr. Weaver is making a strenuous campaign over the district in behalf jf his own candidacy for re-election and also in behalf of the whole democratic ticket, from Candidate John W. Davis, Senator F. M. Simmons, and on down to the last man on the ticket. He is being oposed by LewL? P. Hamlin, of Brevard, the republican nominee. Mr. Weaver dealt largely with the issues involved in the national campiagn. The record of the present occupant of the white house was attacked by the speaker, it being pointed out that the glory of Mr. Coolidge lie* in his silence. "He offers no great constructive remedies for anything. The sum of his statements is that the republican party has reduced expenditures and htands for tax reduction." Mr. Weaver asked the voters to elect Davis on the ground that the present republican congress has refused to follow the suggestions of President Coolidge and that nothing could be accomplished by his re-election. The congressman also touched on Federal taxation^ drawing a sharp contrast between the Mellon tax plan of the last congress and the Simmons plan, showing how that the Mellon plan favored the rich while the Simmons plan favored the man of moderate income. Many other Issues in me campaign were discussed Dy Mr. Weaver in a fair and logical manner. No resort was made to personalities. The Honorable Felix E. Alley, of Waynesvile, spoke in behalf of the democratic ticket in this end of the state last week. On Friday night he addressed the voters in thd court house. He also had an engagement at Andrews. S.
