But no one has given more ardent support to tin' cause than he has in the final analysis. 1 Too many people have mistaken the word "credit'* j i. i' t. ? ti. . r:_ .. :..c nun uuiu unitunvf suurue . i ne lirsi imt>i inuiiun u*> j to th?r ro< ky procedure of the sub-committee's reronsi- , deration through the liouse and the senate were received from Bob Reynolds and his associates and because we had to use his name as an '"authoralative source", we did by no means intend to give him all the credit, i Senator Bailey, Senator Reynolds and Congressman Weaver have all given their best undivided efforts in our behalf and we heartily thank them for it. This is no lime to bandy words over "what-hasbeen", but we feel it is our duly to explain a lot of the points that have been brought up in the back-wash, and i we believe our explanation is fair and just from everr angle. With these to points of "so what" and "who got 1 the dam" out of the way, we can gladly harmonize on .' the joyful tune "what is in store", and we are afraid we t herokee Scout, Murphy, North Carotin nurh already. During the past summer and winter (and especially ituini! the -|?rinir when the editor pot a little too enlnise<( and predicted the darn would he started May 1 * ive ha\e reveltd in the glory of what was in store. First the darn will mean an expenditure of $4,000.-1 Hh |.>r labor alone, ninety percent of the workmen! ? he drawn directly from Cherokee and adjoining "unties, and $4,000.1)00 will circulate a long time if x? don't get gay and send it out of the state. Mthouzh the word "hydro-electric" has Ireen shunted to net the appropriation through the upper and the ower hou- s. power will have to he supplied from Mill.- source as there i- not enouSfh now to take care of h town a- it i'.

Tlie his question now confronting them seetns o he that of an adequate water supply. It is our understanding that applications tor loans :o increase the reservoir lias heen started and with the >uilding of the dam. the water supply will also he increased. Likewise we talked to Mr. \V. A. Adams, chairnan of our county commissioners. He, too, was opimistic over the county's debts. Our farmers this year lave not had any particular trouble with the elements aid their crops and produce are bringing the best , prices in a long time. Naturally this means they will w better able to meet their tax problems. The building of the dam will go a long wav to- j ivard ending the relief rolls and many of our men who lave l?een seeking work for a long time will find it with lie TVA. And then there's Murphy itself. New buildings lave spring up. Modern repairs have been made, tlany have been repainted. All of which is in keeping vith the smile that is the herald of a new and brightei lay locally. ialt- and a medium of opening up dormant Mi-ii..? uniting new industry. \nd finally Murphy, as the perfect resort, will ?k.- it- 1mm Ivmii tt? tilt- toiii i-l thai has been hoodwinked 11i>i ; :: .it - ??iher mountain town before l ever got here. The dam will back waters up the Hiawassee, \alev and \ntla rivers t?> the edge of town, forming a iviittiful lake in the heart of the mountains.
