Protests Made Against Changing; Route Numbers Through the activities of the Neel Gap-Smoky Mountain Tours, an or ganization covering the towns of Bry son City, Andrews, Murphy and Blairsville; the Union County Cham ber of Commerce, the Murphy Lions Club, the Andrews Rotary Club and the Bryson City Lions Club, protests against the change were registered with road officials following the an nouncement several weeks ago that this route had been given the num ber 23. The Neel Gap-Smoky Mountain Tours was organized to promote the advertising of this particular link of this route and all advertising mater ial laid especial emphasis upon IT. S. 19, and the organization felt that if No. 19 was taken away and another number substituted all this advertis ing would be worthless. The officers i of the organization are: Bonnell H. Stone, Blairsville, chairman; S. E. Cover, Andrews, Vice-Chairman ; J. B. Storey, Murphy, Treasurer; and J. P. Randolph, Bryson City, Secretary. The following news dispatch from Raleigh was carried in the daily press last Friday: "Protests of resort hotel operators, road house, filling station, garage owners, and citizens in general against the change of N. C. Route 10 from Dillsboro through Murphy to the Georgia line and on from U. S. Koute 19 to U. S. Route 23, have been heard in Washington and their wishes will be respected, John D. Waldrop, State highway engineer, said today. U. S. Route 19 until recently ran through Asheville and on N. C. No. 10, by Murphy, but in a recent order, from Dillsboro, westward and south ward, it was changed to U. S. Route 23, while U. S. 19, which covers a part of the same route, through Asheville, dropped southward at Dillsboro, by way of Franklin, into Georgia. Protests were lodged with Mr. Wal drop, because many resort, hotel, ga rage and other operators had extens ively advertised that they were on U. S. 19, and such advertising would have been worthless. Mr. Waldrop carried the protest to the executive | committee of the National Associa- 1 tion of State Highway officials, who saw the reasonableness of the protest. Now the old U. S. 19 will continue to he U. S. 19, while U. S. 23 will go southward from Dillsboro by way of Franklin, into Georgia. The North Carolina detour map for -July, printed July 1, however, has the routes numbered in accordance with the changes made a few weeks ago, but these will be corrected in accordance with the changes made, in , the August map, Mr. Waldrop said. ! If anv citizen is inclJnod to rfouht that t traifi'd health off'cr ran ppt results'. s"' h a person mi'rht make a < visit to Richmond Countv and see srmeth'P? of what is er. intr on there with reference to one disease alone. The reference is to the activity be i"e put forth in that county in an ef fort to treat successfully* th?- largo ! number of persons suffering with Pel lagra. and to Prevent its further spread. The health offirer down there has certainly set the pace for the rest of the State, for the la?t few weeks at least, in reporting pellaerra. Up to June 21, there had been report ed. one hundred and sixteen cases of . rellacrra from that county. When this number of cases was reported- a look at the morbidity map iri the of fice of the State Hoard of Health at Raleiprh would indicate that thorp i* an unusually large number of people ! who have pellagra in that county at this time. However, an examination of the mortality map immediately reassures any one. For the first five months of the year. Richmond coun ty. with its large number of people, with pellepra. reported only four deaths from this disease. On the oth er hand, the adjoining county of An son during the first five months of the year had reported only two cases of pellegra, but the mortality map indicated that seven persons had died from the disease in that county fori the first five months of the year. The explanation is simple, and that is | that the reports of tht presence of i the disease in Anson County have not I been made to the State Board of Health The chief interest <?f the public, howevc , is just what difference does it make whether the disease has been reported or not. In the case of Rich mond County, there is a happy ans wer to this question. In Richmond County the people, through these re ports. have realized the extent and significance of the disease, and ev ery agency in the county is cooper ating to eradicate it. Some of the dairies are supplying milk at great ly reduced prices to all pellegra. Families of the county who have sur plus vegetables in their gardens are placing these vegetables at the dis posal of the families of patients with pellegra and other families who do not have the vegetables and who need them. The home demonstration agent of that county and the county health department are cooperating in the leadership of eradication methods. Through the home Demonstration club women of the county, free se and plants have been supplied to the families of pellegra patients for white and colored, who need such assistance. There is a local relief committee, which furnishes food when not oth erwise available to patients- as rec ommended by the physician treating the case. Thus it is easv to see that, when the presence of the disease is known, through the official reports of a county, the citizens have facts upon which to work in their efforts to combat the further spread of such diseases. It is well known that many suf ferers from pellegra do not send for a physician until late in the disease. Hence the physician, not knowing about the existence of such cases, are in no way responsible for the reports. Any person suspecting the presence of symptoms of pellegra should im mediately consult a good doctor. It is necessary to add that the physician should then report the case to the lo cal health officer, just as is being done in Richmond County so success fully at this time. Swaim Furniture Mfg. Co. Moves to New Bldg. | The C. A. Swaim Furniture and Manufacturing- Company has com pleted the new building and moved in to it last week. The huildinp is 20 x 25 feet, and is an addition to the old building. This new addition gives | Mr. Swaim more room and better en | ables him to serve the public. When Mr. Swaim started business several months ago- he contemplated making and repairing furniture, but the business has gradually changed to automobile body and truck body and cab building. He has added ma chinery and equipment for this par ticular kind of work and is keeping four men busy practically all the time building bodies and cabs, and he states if business keeps up he will have to put on one or two more men shortly.

POWER LINE TO HAYESVILLE IS BEING BUILT The Southern States Power Com pany is now building a transmission power line from Murphy, N". C.. to Hayesville, N. C\, a distance of about twenty-two miles. This transmission line, when completed will connect to town of Murphy, county cite of Cher okee county, to the town of Ilayes ville- county site of Clay county. The Southern States rower Com t any owns and operates the Murphy power plant in Cherokee county and al-o owns and operates the Hayes ville power plant in Clay county. This line will connect the two plants together. In a recent interview, Mr. Theodore X. Bates, manager of the Southern States Power Company, operating plants, stated that the company had two different routes in view over which to construct this transmission line, and that Mr. W. V. N. Powelson, president of the Southern States Pow er Company- had authorized and in structed him to build this line, with further instructions to study the two proposed routes for this line from all angles, and then to select the most practical route, and that he had se lected the route along State Ilighwav No. 28. Mr. Bates made a wise selection in selecting this route for this line, be cause it will go through one of the best farming sections of Cherokee county, known' as the Peachtree Val ley, and many of the farmers will want lights and power. Also it pass es by several stores that will also want lights and power. It also passes by Brasstown- two stores and the Folk School, creamery, and they all will want power and lights. This route also runs through one of the best farming sections of Clay county, and several store- in Clay county, and many of them will want power and lights. Mr. Bates, manager, further stat ed that he had employed and was working 25 or 30 men in the construc tion of this work. Some of them live in Clay county and some of them in Cherokee county, and that he paid them once each week for their ser vices. The Southern States Power Com pany are to be commended for doing this work and spending this money and giving employment to these men now, when jobs are scarce. This fur nishes several men employment that will spend the money received for their wages among others, putting a lot of money into circulation, and this paper wishes we had more pay-rolls like this. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS By order of the Board of Town Commissioners, all delinquent town taxes for the year 1029 will be adver tised for sale on all real estate listed for taxes and levies on all personal property will be made on August 1, 1930.

Mr. Carringer"? death was a dis tinct shock to his many friend? and relatives in this county, because it was not generally known that he was ill. ] He was sick with typhoid fever, and j seemed to be getting along: nicely. However, about 1 o'clock Tuesday i morning. he had a convulsion and died in a few minutes. He was a native of Graham county, but when he was quite small, his par ents. Mr. and Mrs. T. C.

' Murphy Churches To Observe "Go-To Church Month" The pastors of the three Murphy I churches, at a meeting on Tuesday morning:, laid tentative plans for the observance of "Go-to-church-month," designating the month of August as the time when it will be the effort of the pastors and churches to enlist ev ery person in Murphy in church at tendance. Plans, not yet complete, call for the writing of three articles for the "Scout'* by the pastors. Dr. Ander son will write on. "The Value of the Church to the Community," J. LeRoy Steele will write on "What the Com munity owes the Church," and Rev. H. P. Powell will discuss, "Why Go To Church?" During: the week of July 27th. the pastors will visit every home in Mur nhy and it is their purpose to have invited every person in the town to come to church by the time the "Go to-church-Month" begins. Stickers for automobile wind shields and window cards are being printed advertising the month. Each home will also be asked to display a card reading: "This home is coop erating in the "Go-to-church-month* of the Murphy Churches." Services during the month will be held as usual in each of the churches on Sunday morning and night with a Union service on the night of the fifth Sunday. Mid-week services will be union services, alternating be tween the Methodist and Baptist churches. Dr. Anderson will speak in both the churches while Mr. Steele will speak at a midweek service in the Methodist church and Mr. Powell at one of those held in the Baptist church. Mr. Steele will also be the speaker at the Union service on the fifth Sunday in the Methodist church. Other announcements will be made through the columns of this paper. The public is invited to watch for them and to help in the making of '"Go-to-church-monfch" a really worth while movement. COPPERHILL AND MURPHY GOLFERS IN DOUBLE PLAY Midway Boy* NVin On Home Course, But Are Lo?er? On Copper Basin Layout Two interesting g< If meets have >?#?01 hold between the players of Midway Golf Course of Murphy and the members of the Copper Basin Golf Club. On July 5th. the Topper Basin bovs- to the number of eight, were entertained at Midway where four foursomes <?f golf were played with re-ults as follows: Humphrey and Payne, of Midway won from H'll and Nichols of Copper Basin; Steele and D. Hampton of Midway won from Mitchell and Park er. of Copper Basin; Ricks and F. Hampton of Midway won from Lee and Jones of Copper Basin ; but ? Moody and Woody, of Midway lost a very close one to Barclay and Thom asson of the Copper Basin. The main features* in the playing were the sensational performance of Humphrey of Midway and the all round steadiness of Payne of the same team. Good playing was ne cessary to a winning from Hill and Nichols and they delivered. "Happy*' Hill always plays golf "what am" golf. It was the first clear cut win for the Midway boys and they were all hap py. Invited to Copperhill An invitation was delivered on the spot from the Copper Basin boys to come to their play ground the fol i lowing Saturday for a return game. The invitation was accepted, and, on July 12th, the Midway-ites journeyed i to the Copper Basin and another struggle was on- but with different results. It seems to make a differ ence as to whose back yard you play in. In this contest Midway won only one game, while the Copper Basin boys took three. The only Midway players to get out ahead was the team of 1). Hampton and Williamson, who won a very close one from Barclay and Thomasson. through excellent ! playing on the part of Dennis Hamp ton. Midway lost the other three as fol lows: Steele and Hicks lost to Hill I and Nichols; Payne and F. Hampton I lost to l.e*. and Jones; J. Hampton and Moody 1 . . Mitchell and Park er. The outstanding ; layers of the tournament were: Dennis Hampton, and Howard Moody, of Midway- and "Happy" Hill. "Casey" Jones, and Mitchell, of Copper Basin. One of the remarkable co-inci dences of the two matches was the fact that ihe Cupper Basin players used the same players in each match and the same pairings, and that the teams losing at Murphy were the winners at home and the one team that won at Murphy was the sole loser on the home course. Good Sports These Copp* v Ba?in boys are good sports and good fellow - and ihe Mur pl y fellows are always giad to meet them ami glai t.' hav,. them come to Murphy. They are developing a won derful golf course over there in what has many times been termed "God forsaken" land. Murphy's Midway course is gradually getting in better condition as Fred Hampton keeps plugging away and it is due to be good eventually. ! Barton Raises Cabbage j Weighing Fifteen Lbs. H. A. Barton brought to town this j week a cabbage which weighed 15 3-4 pounds. Davidson A: Carringer, local j merchants, bought the cabbage and , resold it. Mr. Davidson said it was the largest cabbage he ever weighed. So far as is known- it was the largest cabbage ever grown in Cherokee county. Mr. Barton also brought along an other cabbage weighing 11 3-4 pounds. This cabbage measured 13 inches in diameter and 38 inches in circumference. Mr. Barton only had two rows across the garden and said all of the cabbage had large heads. Those who saw the cabbage growing told him 1 that they were the largest they had ! ever seen growing.
