AT TRYON, N. C. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3, 1879
THE TRYON DAILY BULLETIN
The World?s Smallest Daily Newspaper, Seth M. Vining, Editor.
Vol. 14. Est. 1-31-28
In the adjoining column is an
other communication from Major
Sharp. Our promptness is only a
desire to present both sides. The
violent reaction is mild compared
with some communications from
other readers wanting to join the
argument. But we are withhold
ing them because they are too
violent and maybe too personal.
The Chamber of Commerce has
no closed shop contract to provide
the community with its opinions.
It seeks only to be a medium
through which the majority cf
the people can express their opin
jVJfed by the wishes of the ma
jority, and they do not consider
those thinking differently as pub
lic enemies just because they think
differently. Those residents cf
Tryon who resent newcomers and
fear Tryon will get too crowded
need not. worry. There are too
many hills and valleys, and a
number of families own large
tracts of land. This area will

To the Editor:
Thank you for getting the ar
ticle out so promptly; it was a
neat job of printing. Your re
action was somewhat violent but
probably no more so than might
be expected by anybody who twist
ed the tail of a sacred cow.
I have not criticized the gen
eral activities of the Chamber of
Commerce and I do not “oppose
the growth and development cf
Tryon.” I merely suggest that a
considerable number of residents
think that the C. of C. is mistaken
in its methods. I did not know
that the C. of C. had a closed
shcp contract to provide the com
munity with its opinions or that
anyone who thought differently was
a public enemy.
However, you should thank me
for my interference; when people
get red in the face it generally
means that they are going to do
something; the C. of C. will raise
that money now, if they have to
pay it themselves.
This is my last word on the
subject. It is not likely that you
will make Tryon into a Coney
Island but if this should happen
in my time I would be glad to
roll my wheel chair along your
board walk. ,
