Thursday morning Murphy and surrounding territory were given quite a boost by Billy Cole, advertising manager of the F. K.

Appearing on th. program were | ft hf string band led by Glenn El.is <>t ( ullu'ison and th<- Valley River Quart.tt.v Winn?- - fui ol the series before. ' Mr Cole's talk was as follows: ' Today we visit a little city enshrin. : ed in the very heart of the old ('hero. | ' k - - nation It is surrounded closely i ?t ill -i.ies by thf most varied pan- ' ora:?ia that one can imagine.

Alone, he made his peril- ej - us way into the stronghold of the a Cherokee.;, until he came to the fork C of Hiwassee and Vail -y Rivers. This l'oj k. vi. wed from the gigantic biue balds that hove* over r. r? semble a wild turkey's track. It was known 1 y the Cheioke -> as the Turke.'.Track.

Bitterly Junaluska saw his people corrailed like cattle, and of all places, they were herded together on his very birthplace, the Turkey's Track. Junaluska is one of the few Indians who never was caught. Romance bloomed on the Turkey's Track with the coming of Gen. Scott. Not long after he established Fort Hunter, Scott lost his army surgeon 10 the charms of Archibald Hunters' daughter. The surgeon's name was Dr. Hitchcock, and he married Miss Hunter They built a cabin on the Hiwassee bank, where they lived long after the Cherokee? were driven on their westward trek, never to return. The Hunters moved into the cabin with the Hitchcocks, where they remained until they died and were buried near the center of the Tur- t key's Track. | Soor, afterward, the Hitchcocks, were lured to California by the gold rush- And like in a fairy story, they ".ent there and became fabulously | 5 I he Chert mts of M Y-i! - . a :r:t*? a >i caiK .

Th trading post of Huntington grow as the years passed. . . . until at last, with amazing foresight, i was decided to put Huntington on the map. The town was laid out in streets almost as wide as they were long; and th town was like a wheel, with ight broad streets centering I around an eight-sided square. And the name of the town was changed to Murphy. One hundred years after the death of Archibald Hunter, his great-granddaughter saw the pyramids in Egypt, ' and was struck hy a magnificent inspiration. She decided to erect a pyramid over their grav s, which were now situated in the city limi s "t Murphy She returned and wil ed $10,000 for the ejection of a white' marble pyramid 25 feet hijrh and 15 j feet square at its base. Unfortunately I shL. died one year before it was un. ; veiled in a M emorial e. Iebration in j lih'H). Today it stands overlooking the own antj the two romantic rivers. And it seems to whisper silently of the miracle "f change which th soon rears are bringing. Surroundings of Murphy If Murphy was the axi. of a .vheel. you would not have to go ( arther than twenty or thirty miles in . ?ny direction to find the most varied :.nd startling panorama than one can , magine.

So l'ar below hat only the image creates the sound, he river roars down a long long sue| v cssion of falls. beginning where the 'liver seeps from the brow of the ' farthest ridge. Another scene looming on the very I threshold of Murphy, is the beginning of gigantic Hiwassee dam. It will be 306 feet high and 1250 feet long, mightier dam than Morris, and the third largest in the United States. Hiwassee Dam is the biggest projec of the TV A- Fed by hundreds of >treams from the Blue Ridge and Smoky ranges, this dam will fill up the lower end of the Appadachian Mountains. It will be entirely surrounded by that range dividing the Blue Ridges and th Smokies. It will raise the waters of Hiwassee and Valley Rivers eight feet on either fork about Murphy. and Murphy wi 1 he the only city actually on Hiwassee Lake. It will be a great day for Murphy. r f _ - i wup|/t-i uasin uaris 11 A little further round the wheel, swinging westward, one conies upon third startling spectacle, the Copper j Rasin.

As one continues, the aspects of life completely vanish except for here ami there the dismal dwellings of minors crouched above . black smudges of the copper 'mints. Located in the midst of this desert is ! Copperhill and the sulphuric plant. Across the Ocoae River is the state of Georgia. Wh.n the copper mines were first opened, the ore was smelted, as the natives say by "roasting it on the ground". Sulphuric acid, a by-pro. duct, was given off into the air, killing vegetation. The modern process now used prevents the escape of the deadly acid. In the manufacturing of sulphuric acid now leads the mining of copper. And the metal is now a by-product of the acid- industry.
