BY COMMITTEE Case Outlines Plan For j Cherokee Golfers To Join Blue Ridge Club The ' ir meeting of a group of Mcrpky and Andrews citizens inter, e.-te i in obtaining a (golf cour/e in Cht-i county was described as wdisarrn'nting" because a suitable $:to c uld be located at a rcasonabl price, according to T. A. Case, cHairm r the investigating com nittee wh V. met in the Masonic hall at Mar be M iday evening. At th ame time a plan whereby jeopl of Cherokee county who are interi-.od may join the new club at Hlue II - . Ga.t 26 miles from here, was outlined by Mr. Case. "It i; possible that reasonable special rates may be obtained for pco[U of this section who are inter, ested in joining the club there, and from all indications any quota that would be neede 1 could be easily obtained". he said. "Th*. course there was built by FERA funds just as we planned to construct a course in this county and it i< one of the nicest clubs and one of the most beautifiii courses in this part of the country. Du- to the fact that a new road has I> <vi built between hire and 31ue Ridge, the distarce would not be at all inconvenient", Mr. Case added. He had not explained thi3 plan to other members of the committee Wednesday night, but he said he felt sure that a great many golfers in this country woii'd be int* rested. Interest vrsta firstt aroused over the possibility of a county golf course and club house threfe weeks ago when .Mr. j Case 1 arned that the FERA would supply he labor to construct the course. A meeting of representative citiner.s from all over the county was called and Bill Whifcaktr, -of Andrews, was elected president of the club. Th0 committees will continue to work on the plans for acquiring the course.

The city alderman were unanimous- > ly opposed to uHng that service at a I meeting two weeks ago. Th c mmissiomrs disirterest in the reposition was devealed by D. M. Sim nds, county auditor, who said ' he h? ard one of the commissioners j say that that body wou 1 not consider! the r lion any forth r at present.

It Both the city council and the com.11 missioners have 'men "successful lat ly|t in substantially lowering the debts! of Murphy and Cherokee and it wasfi largely this reason that led the c un-j cil and tiu commissioners to disregard j the plan. j i Local Baptists Urging Conference Attendance Local Baptist pastors and W. A. > Adams, local! transportation organizer for the Baptist Sunday School conference, which is to be held in Raleigh January 1 to 4, are anxious that thi?s community make an excellent showing at that meting. i It k believed that this will he the i greatest Sunday school convocation i held in the world *n 1935; if attendance exciseds that of he four previous conferences, it will be the largest Sunday school gathering ever to have be n held in the world. North Carolina Baptists are fortunate that such an assembly is to be held in the Capital city?bringing to their very doors the best talent the denominaion can aarmble. An attendance of 5,000 outside of R-weigh is expected. This assembly will doubtless, never if* et in this -state again in 10 years.
