Around 60 plates were served.

GENERAL BOWLEY'S PARTY
CHIMNEY ROCK VISITORS
Chimney Rock, May 25.—Among
the prominent visitors to Chimney
Rock section and Hickory Nut gorge
here Friday was a party in charge of
Brigadier General A. J. Bowley, com
mander of Fort Bragg. The party
consisted of Congressman Jeremiah
E. O'Connell, of Rhode Island and
Mrs. O'Connell and Major W. E.
Burr, aide to General Bowley.
If the afternoon the party went
in General Bowley's car to Ashe
ville. While in this section they wit
nessed the preliminary work being
done in getting started on construc
tion of the Lake Lure dam, which,
when completed, will be 104 feet high
and 585 feet across the top, being
anchored between two mountains. It
was remarked that this constituted
the most natural site for a dam at any
place seen along the Rocky Broad
river.
When this party passed the con
struction camp now being erected to
care for some 900 workmen, there
were no new houses at one of the lo
cations which had upon their return
five cottages ready for the weather
boarding. The superintendent in
charge stated that his carpenters
made a record that day, but this was
only typical of the progress they hop
ed to make in construction of the dam
which would begin just as soon as
they had houses repdy for the work
men to sleep in. The detour from
the main highway around the con
struction camp at the dam site is
about half completed and traffic can
be routed this way within a couple
of weeks.
Drilling of stone and blasting is
going forward in this vicinity to
produce the stone necessary for a
very large culvert under the new
highway.

STAR ROUTE GAFFNEY
TO RUTHERFORDTON
Efforts made by citizens of the
town and communities concerned
have been successful in bringing
about the establishment of a star
mail route from Gaffney, S. C., thru
Cliffside, Henrietta, Avondale, Forest
City and Spindale to Rutherford
!ton. The new route will be inaugu
rated June 15, according to official
announcement. The length of the
route is a fraction less than 32 miles.
| The schedule calls for leaving
Gaffney at 5:30 a. m., and arriving
at Rutherfordton three hours later.
The hour of departure from Gaff
ney is approximately 30 minutes af
ter the arrival of Southern trains
, No. 29 from Charlotte and the north.
! At present and for some time past
j The Charlotte Observer has main
| tained a truck service between Gaff-
J ney and Rutherfordton to deliver the
paper. The inauguration of the star
j route means the delivery not only
of the morning paper, but of first
class mail also.
The star route is scheduled to op
| erate only six days a week, but The
Observer has begun negotiations
I looking toward making it a seven
day-a-week route, with the belief
that it will succeed.
j A large number of applications
;are being filed with the fourth assis
tant postmaster general for the con
tract for the star mail route from
I GafFney to Rutherfordton, accord
i ing to Postmaster F. B. Gaffney, of
j Gaffney, who has been supplying the
i application blanks. The route is
! scheduled to be started June 15, and
!all bids must be filed not later than
| June 2. Mr. Gaffney said one of
the applicants resided in Spartanburg
and another at Ellenboro, while there
, are several others all along the route.
' ClifFside, Henrietta, Caroleen, Forest
I City, Spindale, Avondale, and Ruth
: erfordton will be served by the route.
The Courier has been told that the
establishment of the route depends
upon whether applicants for the po
sition of carrier are reasonable in
their bids. If all bids are considered
, high, we may not get the route.
