Following 'the banquet, the minutes ,.r" the last meeting wete read and {opted, and Dr. Edw. E. Adams re ? ried for the committee appointed to work out the details of the eon test which is to he staged between the embers during the next eight meet ings. The membership was divided equal ly. one side being named "The Goat*" .u.d the other "The Sheep." The lo-ing side will entertain the winners at a banquet the next meeting follow ing the closing of the contest eight wifks hence. George Ellis was made . ader of the Goats, while Dr. Elw. K.

Randolph, of Bryson City I. ions Club, wa^ present an announc ed that a meeting of the Neel-Gap Snioky Mountain Tours was being called to meet at the Fryemont Inn mi the 19th, and extended an* invi tation to the members of the club here to be present. Report on L & N Hearing President Fain, who was appointed to represent the Lions Club before the Georgia Public Service Commis sion in Atlanta on the 5th, reported on the hearing held in which the L N Railroad is seeking to have the early morning train entering Murphy and the late night train discontinued, i Mr. Fain was one of a delegation from Murphy to present the case of the people here. Col. Don Wither poon and Col. Harry P. Cooper were the other members cf the delegation appointed by the city fathers to rep resent the town. However, neither Col. Witherspoon nor Col. Cooper could be present, and the authority to represent teh twn was delegated t > Mr. Fain by the City Fathers. All towns on the road between < Murphy and Atlanta had represents-1 tlvcs at the hearing, except Talking, Rock and Ball Ground, Ga. One of the surprises of the meeting was a letter from C. W.

Dillard, Makes Statement TO MY FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS: I ant taking advantage of the gen I erosity of the Editor of the Cherokee Scout in an effort to express through its columns, at least in some degree my deep and lasting gratitude to i hose who testified .<? their confi dence in me in the recent election. I value thi> as above price, and j ^ nile memory lasts, it will remain with me as one of the most percious j u collections of my life. 1 thank you. my friends, one and all. from the bottom of my heart. I 1 am m conceited enough to think I for a moment that any of the credit j .?>!? the splendid vote you gave me a as in any way due to my efforts. It wa- your loyalty that did it. | 1 ask that you believe me when I | say that I have no enemies whom 1 j desire 'to punish, no grudges which 1 wish to inflict, there is no one with whom 1 wish '"to get even." 1 long ago learned not to harbor malice or ill will myself toward my fellow man or to make myself unhappy by hating anyone, and 1 declare that there is no ! one within the circle of my acquaint- 1 ance to whom I would not rather do a kindness than an injury. Neither, j outside of the public promises 1 made i and these of course I shall keep, have I I any fixed program of legislation, j Of course, 1 shall do all in my power to relieve us of the burden of taxa tion. I also want to assure those timid souls who may have believed any of the silly eleC ion canards, circulated for the purpose of deceiv ing such as that 1 would have your Commissioners appointed, compel ev ery one to perform ten days free la bor on the roads, or pay a heavy fine, stop all hunting and fishing for five years, and other like foolishness, vhat .hey need have no fears whatever. Kven those who circulated these silly stories did not believe them. If I shall live to represent Chero kee County in the coming General Xssembly 1 intend that it shall be suc cessful in so far as any needed con ? ructive legislation is concerned, will depend largely upon the assistance and support given me by the people. ? hope therefore that everyone, be he Republican or Democrat, rich or poor high or low, week or powerful, and regardless of whether he voted for or against me should feel chat it i- not [ >nl.v his privilege, but his right, ?o offer any advice or counsel he may desire to offer, as to any matters which concern our people and I invite them to do so. ?I 1 .*aid to 11 who heard me, I believe that the ^character of our ; lives is determined by our ideals. For, year. I have tried in my humble way to make my own ?chat ideal of great ness promulgated by the Great Teach < r, the ideal of service ? -ervice to : God and service to my fellowman. I j hope ' o serve you anil to do it well. ! 'ihis will in all probability be my last j i opportunity, and if with your help ' and that which cometh from above j 1 shall succeed in rendering real ser vice to the people among whom I ' glllMlllllllllliniUIIIIIIIIUIIIItnilllllHIIIIIIIIIWMIIIIIIIMII? ] SPORTS I From the Side Line | MURPHY WINS OVER INDIANS FRIDAY 22 TOO Last Friday the Cherokee Indians had the misfortune to run into Mur phy when Murphy snapped out of its rlump. As a result of three touch downs, two points after and a safe ty Murphy rolled up it* moBt impress ive score of the season ? and inci dentally won its first game yhich, by the way, is the third Murphy triumph in two years of football. Cherokee brought down a team which showed willingness but little ability. After watching them closely for more than an hour, Ole Phann confesses his inability to determine just what system they u>e except that the center snaps the ball and some body grab?' it and lights out. We had expected to see some Indian speed but it never made its appearance ? mainly because some Murphy lines man always got through to smear the runner before he had time to gain momentum. In view of the fact that Murphy was blocking and tackling as never before we have not yet figured why the score was not more than it w: s. We arc not trying ?to detract from the fine showing of the Murphy team. Most of the way they played hard, heads-up football and deserved all (Continued on pace 5) have spent the best years of my life, an J who have always given me their confidence in an unstinted measure, I shall be very happy indeed.

ED NOTE? At the Walker School House precinct the official count for Dickey was 48. He received 39 votes ; at this precinct which were said to have been thrown out becau-e of ir j regular marking. This incident will make a slight difference in the fig ures here and in the table. J. W. Davidson, popular men's I and boys' clothier, is putting on a big i mid-winter sale to last until Decem ber 24th. He is offering many bar { gains in his line of well known and ' quality merchandise.

The tempor ary restraining order, issued t?? pre vent the tasting of 7t? ballots in the 33rd district senatorial race in Clay county, was dissolved today by Judge Cameron F. McRae. of Asheville, pre siding over the Superior Court here. The C;>ur held that :i was without jurisdiction to \ onti I le the restrain ing order and that the plaintiff's t roper remedy was a quo warranto proceeding. Much interest has been shown in th's ease for upor. its outcome de pends whether or not a Republican or a I'-emocra will represent the 33rd Senatorial District in the State Sen ate in the next General Assembly. The restraining order was sought bv Republicans of Clay county in con nection with the casting of 70 votes, which were sufficient to throw the election to the Democratic candidate. Dr. Kelley E. Bennett, of Bryson City, T. M. Jenkins, lawyer of Rob binsville, was his Republican oppon ent. In the complaint, which was used as an affidavit in the application for a restraining order, it was specifical ly sought to enjoin the board of can vassers of Clay county from count ing certain absentee ballots which, it was alleged, did not bear the signa tures of voters. i Following the decision of Judge McRae today, J. N. Moody, attorney for the plaintiffs, said he would take ! the matter up with the Attorney General of the State from whom he I would seek information a$ to further procedure, besides, Mr. Moody, at I tornei-j appea. 'ng in cose were I Mr. Wakefield, of Hayesville, for the , plaintiff, and Felix Alley, of Waynes ville, J. B. Gray, of Hayesville, and John Randolph, of Bryson City, for ] the defendant.
