(Continued from jwge one)
for the last several months, having
made arrangements with the en
gineering department ti furnish thic
data, he said, and with Mr. Weaver
to attend the meeting and to co-op
erate in this matter. Mr. Smith said
that he feels that in a gigantic
proposition like this, Mr. Weaver i*
right in his views that in the final
analysis the people should themselves
decide whether it should be under-j
taken. j
Mr .Smith had returned to hla
duties today but hoped to be able to
return to the city for the conference.
Commenting on the proposed pro
ject, he said:
"Mr. Burchard’s part in the meet
ing Thursday night will bo to explain
the details of the proposed power de
velopment to show just where th«
water levels would b-’, to explain
how the city of Hendersonville would
be protected by a levee north of
Balfour, how the swamp land of
Mud Creek. Devil’s Fork. Bat Fork
and *he other tributaries of Mud
Creek would fcc- taken care of, how.
sewage disoosul will bo handled and
how the long realized handicaps of
Mud Creek swamps would be obliter
ated. Also he will explain, it was
represented, how the city of Brevard
would have no mud flats, and how
Brevard would be one of the out
standing resorts of the entire east
ern part of the development. He
stated that at this meeting he would
be pleased to answer and explain all
questions that those who are interest
ed may wish answered.
"This perhaps is the most moment
ous physical development _ that naa
ever been proposed for North Caro-'
lira. Its magnitude will be seen in j
the possibility that from $18,000,000
to $‘’0,000,000 would be expended,)
that power equal to half of the.
amount that is being developed at
’he Norris dam would be generated .
in this vicinity, that factoiies would)
spring up overnight, that unemploy-;
ment would be done away with, that |
a lake extending many miles through)
the mountains would be created, and |
tiiat other advantages too numerous j
to mention would come to this seo
tipn.’

ing statement Wednesday morning:
Press notice: “Drys Win By Near

There’s a reason! Perhaps this
verse partially explains:
GOD MEETS ME IN THE
MOUNTAINS
“Seme way I seem to lose Him in
the jostle of the street
But on a twisty deer trail as 1
trudge along alone,
A mystic presence in the forest of
ten stays my feet
No vision borrowed from a saint,
but awesomely my own.
I feel it smite my spirit white, the
prophet’s taintless passion,
As ancient as the fashion of the
pine tree's rugged cone”
It has been a great pleasure to
meet the people of my adopted coun
ty As I looked into their honest,
rugged faces, I have breathed, ‘ What
a future for such a country, and
such a people!’’ May we hold fa3t
the line we have won. This skir
mish is but the presage of a great
battle—yea a great war against the
greed that would make us slave of
the liquor traffic.
May we not learn to discriminate
between a statesman who appeals to
our best, and the politician who
stirs prejudice, appeals to ignorance,
and seeks to sacrifice human affect
