The\. too. are "w aiming up," even if the\ do have to pick the sunny days bet wen sleet and snow and the writable liquid element? that are so prone to "pour"* from above at this srason of the year in this section. The Andrews Club has recently put their golf course in tip-top shape, in fact, in excellent condition, and the golfers of both Murphv and Andrews are using it every chance thev get piacticing up for the more strenuous games that are bound to come when Old Sol spreads his rays earth* aid with greater force and constancy next summer. One da\ this *\eek ? one of the fe* beautiful ones ? "the Four Horsemen of the Agolfalypse,' 'oth erwise known as a foresome. aroused the /elves from the winter slumber, lau ,*d down the old golf bags, brushed the cobwebs from drivers, nashies and putters, and sallied forth in the role of golfers as the f'ii.t rumblings of thunder were heard in the distance. These four 1'Onenien were none other than two submersing preachers, a civil engi < -*hf highways, u?i"d a gents fur ni-h'ii" dealer with a Jewish name ? W. II. Ford, of Andrews: J. L. Clffle. \\. A.

However, there were other games in I progress on flBuftflBMWMj but these two were the only ones 1 wming under the close scrutiny of the "demon reporter.'" l*ord. who is champion of the course, started off in fine style, ! with a perfect drive which enabled I him to make the first green in par. Steele opened up with a slice to the | right, dug into the sod for two short nashies. and landed on the green in ; four, but his putting was off, and he tiled up seven on green No. 1. Mc Neil s first drive connected low, Aus elexating the Maxpar high in Ae air and short on distance, but he nonaged to place the little white ?*11 in the little cup in the cen*er the first green on the fifth -troke, or one above par. Davidson's first Jnve was a red hot grounder, that airly burned the blades of gia-3 protruding more than an inch above frrra firma. but his excellent putting enabled him to negotiate the first ?reen in one above par. And the ^ore stood 4-7-5-5. Nothing unusual happened then ytil the take off from the third tee. '?rd jrot over in the ditch country, lifted the ball out with a mashie stroke that sent it hurtling over the fcooe and out into the corn field. Y's streak of ill luck upset the mor of the preacher and before he could recover his composure a total ?f eight strokes for the third green P'aved havoc with his score. From the third tee, Steele sliced J* to the right again, right through pine grove into the wild coun and relied into the third green Jjp in seven. This was enough ill J** to upset the ordinary golfer j*yon<l the point of "comr back, nly steeled Steele and balanc for the remainder of the for on the sixth green he vic iously registered a par.

STIKELEATHER AND WALKER DISCUSS ROAD fttcrl With Murphy Lions Club and Point Out Two II ays For Sur facing Trnneesee Connection Two ways aic open as possibilities for securing funds with which to hardsuriace the Fenneseee connec tion of Highway No. 28 in Cherokee County, James G. Stikeleather, dis trict State Highway Commissioner, told the Lions Club Tuesday night. The two ways pointed out as pos sibilities for sec uring these funds by Mr. Stikeleather, briefly are: 1. Have a delegation of not over two or thiee from Cherokee county thoroughly familiar with the situa tion to go with him l>efore the State Highway Commission and help pre sent Cherokee's claim in the half million dollar equalization fund which was created bv act-of the pres ent legislature. 2. A recommendation from the Cherokee County Commissioners or load governing body that the State use Cherokee's portion of moneys allotted under the new road law as sessing lc additional tax on gasoline for use on unfinished state projects, as provided in the law. \Ir. Stikeleather pointed out that the amount of money made possible hv such action, with what could be secured from maintenance funds, would enable him to put a slag sur fare on the road. pro\ ided the Ten nessee Copper Company would do nate the slag, the state to bear the expense of loading and hauling. The money thus secured would not be sufficient to concreti tin. road, he stated, as the distance would require tihout a half million dollars for such a surface. The meeting of the I, ions Club was held in the parlors of the^ 1 Hotel, which has been selected uo the Lions Den. with exactly twenty three members and visitors persent, including District Highway Engi neer Walker, who accompanied Mr. Stikeleather from Asheville. Bryan W. Sipe. who has been in ;'::rr.A-,.nondfnrj' B 5 >u?t<i<u>an?ntH>a of the Lions Club, outlined the road activities of the elub prior to Mr. Stikeleathei "s visit, and explained briefly the attitude of the club and the people toward its completion. Due to the fact that the club was not aware of Mr. Stikeleather's visit un til just a few hours before meeting time, he also regretted that it was im possible to have members of the county commissioners and the coun ty road governing body present. Harry P. Cooper also discussed the matter and pointed out the "cry ing need" for the hardsurfacing of this link of No. 28 at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Stikeleather, in bis opening remarks, told of the trouble he had faced in locating the Tennessee con nection, and said that he was glad the people of Murphy and Cherokee county had at last realized its im portance and was gratified to know that they had approved what he had done years ago. The meritorious elements of this Tennessee connection, giving Ashe ville and Murphy a more direct con nection with Chattanooga and the middle west, and the benefit its open ing up would mean, not only to Murphv but to the entire western section of the State, he said, was cer tainly deserving of more than pass ing consideration by the state. He also stated that the citizens of the county .in a public meeting, had promised him some aid on the pro ject of No. 10 between Murphy and Andrews if he would put down a concrete surface, but so far none of this aid had been given, and he did not call upon the county, at the time of its construction for the aid sim ply because he knew the county was not able then to give it- This aid is Continued on Page Six.)
