The Raleigh News &
Observer on August 14 ran a
story on North Carolina's
"Dubious distinctions" as its
Scene section feature. Tryon
was recognized for being the
home of the world's smallest
daily newspaper.
Salvo, N.C., was recognized
as home of the second smallest
post office in the United States,
and Mount Olive as pickle cap
ital of the South.
On the matter of distinctions,
there is just one thought we
wish to leave with you today:
"The rooster crows, but the hen
delivers." From title of a
Stephen "Banjo Dancin'" Wade
tune.
What's happening:
Today at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. the
staff of the Polk County Coop
erative Extension Service will
teach their Southern Cookery
class. It will be held in the
conference room of the Agri
culture Building in Columbus.
The Columbus Town Council
meets tonight at 7:30 in the

Board To Appoint
Committee To Study
E-9K Management
Leaders of Folk County s
various emergency services will
soon be asked to study the
county's Emergency-911
communications centci.
The Polk County Board of
Commissioners decided
Tuesday to appoint a study
committee to include the sher
iff, and the chiefs of police of
Tryon, Columbus, and Saluda,
along with EMS, fire depart
ment and rescue squad leaders.
The question that will be put
to them is this: Who should be
responsible for managing the
communications center on a day
to day basis?
Members of the board have
been considering moving the
center from under Sheriff Boyce
Carswell's control and instead
creating a new department
under the county manager.
"The issue is management
responsibility," commissioner
Tim McCormack said Wed
nesday. "It is not a political
question. It is a logical business
question."
The board members have
refused to say more.
An angry group of people
supporting Carswell, however,
strongly questioned the board's
motives Tuesday night.
"The only thing I get is that
they want more control," Roy
Case said Wednesday morning.
"They have absolute control of
the money now. The sheriff

Hunters Complain
About County Law
County officials have received
several calls from angry hunters
since the county passed a new
firearms ordinance.
The ordinance passed on Aug.
19 restricts anyone from firing .
gun within prescribed distances
of dwellings, roads and other
people
ft is aimed primarily at hunt
ers, Board of Commissioners
chairman Jeannie Martin said,
and it hit the large:.
"We've been getting lots of
complaints," said Martin.
"People say we're trying to stop
hunting in the county."
Martin said that is not the
case at all.
"They can hunt safely all they
want to," she said. "If they will
read the ordinance, they will see
the common sense. You don't
fire a gun across a road, or near
a dwelling, because you could
hit a car or a person.
"If they arc already using
common sense, this ordinance
won't change a thing they're
doing," Martin said.
Hunters can still hunt on their
own property, and the property
of any others who give permis
sion, Martin said.
State wildlife officers will not
be the ones enforcing the ordi
nance, as they can only enforce
state laws, Martin said. Local
law enforcement officers will
enforce Polk's ordinance.
