I SURVEY SHOWS I CHEROKEE IS IN I DRY COLUMN 8 ReprmlJ.t* Admitting Dry Vic^Jry I While Dry# Are Admitting Wet Victoiy On November 1st Indication- are that Cherokee will be listed among the dry counties aft.r the votes are counted on November Tth, according to a survey , t.hv si; .-iijr. ?. during 'he last few da>s. While the Prys arc admitting that the county will I rol ably go f r repeal. on the other hand the Ke|.*ealiits are just as friely admitting that it will likely go dry. However, majority sentiment ir? this county at this this time appears to be for retention oi the Eighteenth Amendment. The vote, s far as can be ascertained now. will be cbse, with the Drys winning by a small majority unless sentiment und rgoes a radical change during the few remaining days before th.. .-loot inn ' D. H. Tillitt, promient lawyer and 6 Pvmocrat, of Andrews, exposed the majority sentiment found in the county. "I ^hall vote dry," Air. liliitt said, "not because I am opposed tu the repeal of the 18th Amendment but for the reason that 1 am wholeheaiVedly opposed 14 the reor r modification oi the Tur, .nfv in North Carolina, and aid Lne State go wet I fear it would bo seized upon as an argument for the repeal of the Turlington Act. "I have ahvajfc voted dry, "Mr. Tillxt said. "I did in the legislature in 190S in submitting prohibition to the people of North Carolina, and I voted in that election dry. I voted in the legislature of 1913 for thfe Search and Seizure Act." "It may 'that in my case the wish is father to the thought," said the R- .. R. P'-oVost, pastor of th^'Ar ditws Baptist Church, "but in my opinion Cherokee county is dry by a large majority. It remains to be seen as to whether the dry sentiment will be corn- militant enough to make itself known at thl? ballot box on November 7. My guess as to what percent of the dry voters will csu?t their ballots is no better than any one elsds, but 1 believe Cherokee will record its vote against repeal.*' "With the election approaching in which we are to Vote on prohibition, the question arises: What are we going to do?" said A. M. Simonds, former Register of Deeds, and chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of the county. "I am dry from principle, taste and effects," Mr. Simtonds continued. "I have seen too many homes wrecked, lives wasted and ohfildren wanting physically, mentally and morally from ths cause of liquor to be otherwise. "The great masses of the people say that the prohibition law has been a failure. If so, what will be the results it we thpow the doors' wide open with a saloon -on every corner? "In my opinion, our great State will go wet in the coming November dec ion from the fact that the Drys will sit down and not go to the polls and vote against it, and after the opportunity has passed* howl over the situation." "Notwithstanding the obvious trend of the majority I am still opposed to the repeal of the 18th Amendment and any further relaxation of the Turlington Act," said Mayor C. E. Hyde, youthful lawyer and Republican, of Andrews. "I am of the opinion that Cherokee county will ?go dry," Mr. Hyde continued, "and hope the State will do so, for the reason that should the wets carry it would pethaps be urged that the voters would 'be in favor of the repeal of State prohibition. The difficulties with regard to national enforcement may cause Nlorth Carolina to go wet on November 7th, but I to not t.hink they will ever consent to repeal our State prohibition law." Mrs. E. B. Norvell, prominent Murphy club woman, wife of the Ma>Jor ?f Murphy, and candidate for Delegate opposing repeal of the 18th amendment in Cherokee county, stated as her reasons for opposing repeal *3 follows: "I am oppkwed to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment first, because intoxicating liquor is the most deadly enemy to society, family, hfvni^ 1 * - > ? ??*.iiu nappines*; iij economiv ?f?; (2) it takes from any one who US s 't to excess initiative, effectivenc; an<i morality.

But inside there was a message from Frank McDonasd, owner of the White Stores, reading: <sThis is the millionth loaf of bread baked by the White Stores bakery for the year 1933, and if the person receiving this message will return it to Frank McDonald, care White Stores, Knoxville, Tenn., Mr. McDonald will give 100 ioaves of bread, good at any White Store, and to be taken as wanted." Miss Hinrhaw did not reply im mediately, since she could hardly believe that she and the family were to be supplied with free bread, a loaf a day for 100 days. But a few days later she did send her name and address. She is 18 years old, and is a graduate of Lenoir City High school. She works at Charles H.

I 1.00 YEAR?5c COPY RAISING 0 F TOBACCO IS MEET TOPIC ore Than Two Hundred Businea* Men and Farmer* Gather At Barbecue Som two hundred ni rchants, J-'ne.-s men and farmers staged a i-together a acting and a good will irbecue Thursday at Chrokee unty fair grounds for the purpose bringing to the attention of the irmcis cf this o unty the riesirabily of growing tobacco as a cash op. Karl Brintnall, county agent of a iison county, was th principal ia!;cr of '.he occasion. W. M. Fain, tesident of .he Lions Club opened ms iik ting by explaining to the as niblfcd farmers the object of the athering, and R. W. Gray, county gent of Cherokee, introduced Mr. rintnall, who was accompanied on he trip to Murphy by Mis. Brintnall. "The farmers who get along best nu wno make money growing toacco," saia Mr. Brintnall during his isucssion H>f growing and marit. ting tobacco on a commerical basis, are those farmes who make U\J. ir iving?everything they can possibly ;row on the farm?and then grow >urley tobacco as a side line." This assertion of Mr. Brintnall was a lino with the program of the .ions club. Mr. Brintnall t old of the fork bring done in Madison county vith the bright burley grade of too-baco. He said the average yield in Madir. was be.w^n 000 and 700 pounds o the acie, although in some intances soiu'. of the farmers of that ounty had gro'vn as high as 2200 t>s to the acre. However, this was an xcc-ption he said, and such success icpended upon the fertility and oaminess ol the soil in which the obacco was cultivated. Mr. Brintnall spoke for nearly an lour, and t ook up the growing of obacco from the preparation and lanting of the seed bed to the cuting, curing and marketing, o. Dictating that he had had consid rauie experience wun growing n\etock and dairy and beef cattle and night burely tobacco, .Mr. Brintnall aid this mountain s-ction was paricularly well adapted to these two ines of agricultural pursuit.-', because asturt grasses could be grown with use and the soils and climatic condiions were ideal lor the growing of .utley tobacco. He discussed the progenia now confronting the tobacco growers and efforts that were being made by the government to stabalize tobacco prices. "A statistical table showing t?he prices of tobacco recently came 'to my attention, and it show'-d -that 25 years ago the grower received aiouud iO per cent of the revenue from tobacco, white the manufacturer received about 30 per cent," Mr. Brintall said. Today this condition has been reversed, he declared, and the giower only receives about 30 per cent of the revenue. Following the conclusion of his address, the mice ting was turned into a round table discussion, and many questions were asked by fche farmers concerning the growing and marketing of tobacdo. W. M. Fain, president of the Lions club, and County Agent, R. W. Gray made short addressees and closed the program. They expressed thanks and commendation to the merchants of Murphy for the fine spirit of co-operatthon which made the meeting and barbecue possible. At the close of thto morning's program. which began shortly after 11 o'clock, the assembled farmers and business men partook of the fatted pig ami shdep, barbecued to a crispy bri wn, and all declared it to be an occasion they will long remember.
