year, particularly those with
numbers below 175—the cur
rent processing ceiling—have a
very good chance of being
processed for induction after
draft calls are restoredy” Mrs.
Peeler said.
“Many young men,” said Mrs.
Peeler, “seem to think that the
Selective Service Act has per
manently expired and that they
probably will never be drafted,
some of them also think that
the entire system has stopped.
They are wrong, since it is only
the induction authority that has
expired. They, therefore, may
be unintentionally breaking the

pute that produced the “Walton War” 161 years
ago.
At the instruction of the Georgia State
Legislature, on motion of a Decatur, Ga., law
maker, Representative Larry Thomason, Geor
gia Governor Jimmy Carter has sent North
Carolina Governor Robert Scott a letter. In it
he requests that Governor Scott appoint a
commission to study the location of the border
between North Carolina and Georgia—the
same dispute that everyone thought had been
settled 160 years ago.
A similar letter was dispatched to Gover
nor Winfield Dunn of Tennessee, for Georgia,
after revival of the old dispute and investigation
by Rep. Thomason, claims some 200 square miles
of North Carolina and Tennessee. The strip
claimed includes the town of Highlands in
Macon county, N. C., parts of Clay and Cherokee
counties; and the mining town of Copperhill and
parts of the city of Chattanooga in Tennessee.
WALTON STORY
The ancient border conflict was called
the ‘^Walton War” because Georgia estab
lished thp county of “Walton” in the disputed
territory jn the early years of the 19th cen
tury. Geprgia state officials moved in and
later defended this county in at least two
shootmg engagements against North Carolina
state officials. According to the scarce histori
cal writings now available, at legst one and
perhaps as many as 14 men were killed and
about 25 prisoners taken.
The full, incredible story of this conflict,
including the necessary background to make the
whole thing believable, is too lengthy for this
article. Because of the revival of the old dispute,
and the st^te and even national interest it has
aroused, however, the story will be published in
full in this writer’s “From ALMAR FARM”
column, beginning next week in this newspaper.

the area. In 1946 she attempt
ed to begip her career anew
in London. Completely un
known, she found it, difficult
to gain a hearing with any
one until the well known con
ductor Alec Sherman engag
ed her for a concert in Albert
Hall. Playing the Greig Con
certo, she received a stand
ing ovation from the audi
ence and, incidentally, went
on to become Mrs. Alec Sher
man.
For her August 1 appearance
with the BMC Orchestra under
Dr. Henry Janiec, she plays the
same Greig Concerto, which
would have to be called her
“good luck” piece. On the same
program the orchestra will be
heard in the Bizet “Symphony
in C” and Debussy Nocturnes.
The Saturday concert finds
the Transylvania Symphony
Orchestra under conductor
Emil Raab playing the Dvorak
Fourth Symphony and Cham
brier’s “Espana Rhapsody.”
Featured peice of the con
cert is the Mozart Third
Violin Concerto with BMC

Mr. Ceasar, who is chairman of

concert master and soloist with

On Friday night, the inimi
table John Richards McCrae
and the Music Center Opera
Workshop present Meredith
Willson’s “The Music Man.”
With over three hundred stu
dents at the Center, it is a
safe bet that no other pro
duction of the musical has
come so close to employing
all “Seventy-Six Trombones”
of its toe-tapping featured
number. Nearly all the band
instrumentalists on the Music
Center grounds appear in the
parade finale.
“The Music Man” is an exer
cise in Americana nostalgia. It
tells of a roughish salesman of
band instruments and his effect
on a small, turn.of-the-century
Iowa town. In the title role is
Asheville native and local fa
vorite David Rae Smith of the
New York City Opera Company.
Smith, who proved that he
knows his way around the musi
cal stage in last season’s “Kis
met,” meets a lovely but worthy
adversary in the person of
Marian the Librarian, played by
soprano Janice Janiec. Also fea
tured in the show are Jim Ryan
and Marty Redden of Hender
sonville, and Ross Magoulis,
Gretchen Lund and Sherry
Rouse.
For lovers of barbershop
singing Director McRae has
found a sweet-sounding quar

shop. Choreography is by
Barbara Ferguson, setting by
David Holcombe, and Music

Mrs. Peeler also stressed that
local boards are continuing to
consider co, hardship, and
student deferments and to take
other classification actions.
“Young men who planned to
submit requests for deferments
or exemptions are encouraged
to do so," Mrs. Peeler said.
“The expiration of induction
authority does not affect our
responsibility to classify young
men,” Mrs. Peeler added.
