It was woven around romance, politics and big business. The contest between idealism and materialism was evident throughout the latter nets of the production. Idealism won out, a conclusion that fits In with the idea of most people, whether It actually works out in life or not. The characters did their respective parts masterfully. Numerous one*, in trying to point out the characters which did their parts best. Invariably ended up by running iiinuugh ine whole list. Perhaps the larcgst audience that has attended a Lyceum number in the past several years was present and went nway well pleased! with the production. This was the first number in the lyceum course for 1924-25. There are four others to follow. The next one is scheduled to appear on Novem-1 ber 19th. It is the Farnum Trio | Further announcements will follow. The radio returns of the election results were cut short on' account of the fact that the bulbs burned out of the receiving: sets. Returns were coming: in fine but while the operator was announcing results between nets of the play, the bulbs burned out. The cause is not known, but thi sis by no means a rare occurence, say srrs of rad'os. However, sufficient returns had been received before the machine became useless to forcast the : end o' the national election. Sword Erecting Store Building In E. Murphy Mr. T. J.

Richmond, of the Dak Lane Knitting iMUs, gave out a statement this #eek in which he expressed himself as being highly pleased with his business venture here. Orders have been coming in until he has a good supply ahead and im>re are exected all the time. He was especially warm in his praise of the quality of labor that he has been able to find here. He stated that in all of his experience in the north and east he had never had i a more satisfactory labor supply. "The labor supply of this section is intelligent, quick to learn, and eaeer to work," he said, and he is fast building up a good working organization. Every few days sees a shipment of knit goods going out from the Murphy plant and the production is increasing from week to week, u- i? very much pleased' vit ! he situation here. ifeec is reading Newspaper in 1 A FRIDAY.

Peterson, District Forester It has been said that burning of 1 the woods never made a man a dollar. The fact that twenty-eight states in the Union (North Carolina included) undfcr the leadership of the Federal Government are actively engaged in fighting the forest fire evil, is proof enough that burning the *roods does not pay. The very states .vhich were in the past the most eckless burners of woodlands have reaped the harvest as the- result of j their carelessnes and are now fran- j tie in their efforts to assist nature in reclaiming the fire scars, thousands 1 of acres in extent, which mar their landscape and instead of being tlm- < ber producers are an economic lia- , bility. Pennsylvania is doing her j best to leclothe her hill sides made j barren of healthy second-growth tim- j her by repeated fires. What a lesson the experience of Pennsylvania should drive home to i the citizens of this county. Endow- ' ed by the Creator with an Ideal climate, ideal moisture conditions and ideal soil conditions for tree growth there is no excuse for an Idle acre in the county. Every acre of Itand not suitable for agriculture should be growing a crop of trees. Not trees deformed and defective due to repeated fires but healthy valuable timber trees. Nature will produce them if man will do his part. A forest warden organization is maintained by the county in cooperation with the State Forestry Service of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey. The organization consists at present of a county forest warden, 9 district for- ' est wardens' and 38 deputy forest 1 wardens. Those men are employed * on a perdiem basis. It is their duty 1 to fight fores that may break out on their respective districts, to In- ! vestigate forestj fire law violations with a view to presecutlon, and to explain to the citizens in general the harmful effect of forest fires on growing and mature timber. i Without the co-operation of the!! everyday citizen the woril of the j 1 forest wardens will be in vain. And i not until every person who frequents i tlje woods, the hunter, the farmer who clears the land with fire, the 1 hcestnut hunter, the lumberman, the i camper, the man who burns the woods I with the erroneous idea that burning 1 improves the range or drives out the I bean beetle, the carloss smoks, real- \ izes that that fire burning in the 1 woods destroys property Just as much < so as fire in a grain, field or a neigh- I bor's barn, will the number, of forest < ].g rt' 1 *' - ., J ?cout this Section of Wester n { * * * * >. /ICTORIO rvi^rr A IS \J IV1L.11, /"Vi Surprise Shower Given The Clarys Monday Night The Presbyterian congregation and a few other neighbors and friends gave Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Clary a surprise shower Tuesday evenign at 7 o'clock. The shower included a great assortment of miscellaneous articles for the table and pantry. Practically ever member of the congregation participated. The crowd gathered at Mrs. James Palmer's and marched to the Manse in a body. There were some fifty or sixty in the party and the pastor was completely taken by surprise when the door opened and his congregation began to flock in in almost endless numbers. Finding their way to the dining room, the articles and gifts were placed on the dining table.. Mr. Clary was so ov- i ercome that he could scarcely find words to express his apreciation. The occasion was the anniversary :>f Mr. Clary as pastor of this church, tie having come here the first Sunday in November, 1923. The shower was an outward manifestation of the love and estee min which Mr. and Mrs. Clary are held by his congregation and neighbors. Holder Brothers Get Contract For Steam Heat In Dickey Hotel Holder Brothers were this week iwarded the contract to install steam leat in the Dickey Hotel. Only the nain building is to be thus heated. This main portion of the hotel In-1 ;iuues nnoui inty rooms. A mod-| :rn Trane Vapor system will be inttalled. It is understood the contact amounts to well over tho thousand dollars. Dr. J. A. Sharp Will Addres Bible Class In a letter received here some days by the secretary of the Men's Bible Class of the Methodist Church, Or. J. A. Sharp, president of Young Harris College, and loved and admired throughout this section, ac>epted an invitation to address the Bible class at its banquet to be held Friday night, November 7th, at the Slethodist Church. Besides the mem>ers of the Bible class, the' pastors >f the churches, and the teachers of ;he Bible classes in the other churctiis have been invited to attend the >anquet. This has become an annual >vcnt with the men of the Methodist Bible Class and one that is looked 'orward to with interest. Special Services At Presbyterian Church A niofP?se adapted to all will be riven at at the Presbyterian Church Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock. Primarily, however, it is intended for in Armistice message. AH ex-soldiers trill find this of interest. The pastor has had little nnpnrtnnHty fn nring a gospel message to such as he i net on the field of the St Mihiel or trudged along with through the shell torn forests of the Argonne. His tieart is becoming hungry for an opportunity to spend a little time with :hese men. Whoever you may be ot whatever your rank, an ox-sargeant of the Old Hickory Division will wel?ome your presence at his church and - a message out of his heart.

"The heavy rains and cold weather of winter will damage it much more than dry summer weather," says E. R. Ranoy, farm engineering special* ist for the State College Extension Division. "Millions of dollars are lost each year due to improper care of farm machinery. The average life of such machines as mowers, rakes, gang plows, harrows, hay press* es, ensilage cutters, manure spreaders and wagons may be increased from three to five years by proper housing, by timely repair and new palt.** .lust because the gang plow is aD metal is no reason for leaving it out to rust during the winter, states Mr. R^ney. All machines should be tightened up during the winter, repaired ?.nd painted before scoring. Much of the needed repair work may be dons during rainy weather. Mr. Raney states that money saved in the life of a machine will easily pay for an impliment shed. Plans for these sheds may bs obtained by writing to Mr. Raney at the Stat# College, Raleigh, N. C. The, plans are free and their use. will inean less exp ise for costly farm impte*
