Senator Sam
(CndiMd from Fife Two)
$40 billion more than trade and
investments have returned m
dollars to this country.
What makes the matter worse,
we now find that even our mer
cantile trade surpluses which
we have enjoyed since 1893 are
now turning into their first
deficit this year. This means
that we may become a debtor
nation unless action is taken to
improve the situation. The two
principle concerns relate to in
flation and productivity which
are pricing our goods out of the
world market. This, in its es
sence, means that the United
States has reached a new era in
world trade and finance. Either
we take sufficient steps to im
prove the economy so we can
compete with Japan and West
Germany, both of whose worker
productivity has outstripped us
cost-wise in recent yearsi, or we
will lose a substantial portion of
our export market.
All this affects every Ameri
can—the kind of house he lives
in, the kind of health care he
has, the kind of car he drives,
the very bread he eats, and in
the long run, our national se
curity. In a word, when things
are going so badly that the dol
lar falls in value, we all suffer.
One remedy might give some
immediate relief and that is for
the nation to begin living with
in its means. This has been the
real weakness of the dollar.
Uncle Sam has been a noted
spendthrift for years and the
world is now taking action to
say so. The Administration and
Congress must now reckon with
the accumulation of deficit
spending which has been going
on too long.

THE “TIMES” PRIZE-WINNING COLUMN
From
ALMAR FARM
In Transylvania
BY CAL CARPENTER
(Due to the recent state and
national interest in the reviv
ed border dispute between the
states of Georgia, North Caro
lina, and Tennessee, the follow
ing columns relate the back
ground and story of the “Walton
War,” a brief but bloody con
flict between North Carolina
and Georgia over the same dis
agreement more than 160 years
ago. The fighting, which ac
tually included at least two
principal shooting engagements,
occurred in Transylvania coun
ty, only a few miles from Bre
vard. This is taken from “The
History of Transylvania Coun
ty” by Ora L. Jones.)
FROM: “The History of
Transylvania County”
Because there was so much
discord and disorder among
the people of the French
Broad valley, South Carolina
entered an objection to the
procedure recommended by
the committee of Congress
giving the area to her. So
the matter was dropped for
the time being, and the “or
phan strip” was still left
parentless and seemingly
friendless; destitute of law
and order.
On April 26, 1802, President
Thomas Jefferson communicat
ed to Congress an agreement
between the United States and
the state of Georgia, signed by
James Madison as Secretary of
State, in which it was agreed
that Georgia was to cede to the
United States a large boundary
of land in what is now Alaba
ma, on the payment of $1,250,000
to Georgia. As a condition of
this trade, Georgia was to ac
cept the “orphan strip” lying
near the headwaters of the
French Broad River. Apparent
ly North, Carolina did not want
this territory and South Caro
lina had refused to accept it
as a gift.
Georgia Took Possession
The state of Georgia took
possession of this territory
and in the following year,
1803, established a county
here, railing it Walton coun
ty in honor of George Wal
ton, one of the original pur
chasers of the land from the
Cherokees. Even when Geor
gia set up a county govern
ment, it does not appear that
any protest was made by
North Carolina officials.
At - that time North Caro
lina claimed as her southern
boundary the 35th degree of
north latitude. A few years be
fore that time, this degree line
had been located as passing
just at the mouth of Little Riv
er. Because the county of Wal
ton lay south of this line, it is
quite probable that North
arolina officials were of the
opinion that Georgia had a
clear title to that section.
Governed Under
Georgia Law
Walton county had for its
northern boundary the mis
takenly located 35th paralleL
The Meigs and Freeman line
was the southwestern bound
ary from the point where it
crossed the mislocated 35th
parallel to where it reached
Little River. The southeast
ern and eastern boundaries
followed the crest of the Blue
Ridge mountains back to the
35th paralleL
The new county was gov
>rned under the laws of the
tate of Georgia from 1803 until
ibout 1810. At least two elec
ions were held in the county.
Fohn Nicholson was the first
epresentative to hold a seat in
he Georgia Legislature; which
net in Milledegville, then the
tate capital. He was succeed
ed by John Aiken. Nothing can
low be found concerning other
ifficials of the county. Under
he government of Georgia con
iitions were changed for the
>etter but, owing to the un
duly nature of many of its in
labitants, the county still did
iot become a peaceful com
nunity.
About, tbe year 1805, North
Carolina seems to have reach
ed the conclusion that the
35th parallel had not been
properly located and that, as
a consequence, all the upper
French Broad country was a
part of this state and always
had been. Because the south
ern boundary of the state was
the 35th parallel, which the
scientists had originally lo
cated far to the north of the
line then accepted as the
border. South Carolina had
never been the true owner of
the territory; therefore it had
had no right to cede it to the
ITnited States; thus was the
Carolina reasoning. Thus the
cession to Georgia was null
and void. So North Carolina
{hen claimed all of Walton
county as a part bf Bun
combe. s
Georgia Protests
On January 13, 1806, Georgia
had a memorial introduced in
Congress in which it was set
out that North Carolina was
olaiming lands lying within the
state of Georgia, citing the fact
that the lands in question were
those which had been ceded to
that state by the national gov
ernment. The memorial asked
that a commission be appoint
ed to investigate the matter and
mark the line between the two
states.
