The formal dedication Tuesday of the town site of Lake Lure is the realization of a dream long cherish ed by men who two decades ago saw the possibilities of a great resort center at Chimney Rock. Among these builders Dr. L. B. Morse stands foremost. The exercises of today at Lake Lure are possible mainly because Dr. Morse has for 20 years held true to his original vi sion of Chimney Rock's resources for a playground and a home for the people of regions less favored in climate and natural beauty.—Ashe ville Times. THE HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER O. 0. Mclntyre, New York journ alist who can say more in a short paragraph than most any other writ er, pays tribute to the "home town newspaper:" "He is an expert horseman, danc er and a leading member of the glittering social pageant. His clothes are perfectly cut and he knows the best sauces and favorite chorus girls. To his way of think ing, he sits on the top of the world. Yet asked what gave him the most pleasure in all his activities, he said: 'The little weekly paper from my home town'." THE EDITOR'S KNIFE Ever and anon the editor chron icles the gift of another pocket knife by our good friend J. F. Weathers, of the Farmers Hardware Co. Last week we lost our knife, so friend Weathers has seen to it that we got another. This friendly custom was inaugurated over 'four yoars "-ago, shortly after the writer located in Forest City with the ambition to give this little city a real live news paper. From that day to this our friendship has never ceased to grow, and nowhei m e has the editor found a more staunch friend of the home town newspaper. May his shadow never grow less. THE POWER OF ADVERTISING Great is advertising, greater even than the much dreaded power of absolute monopoly, writes Arthur Brisbane, noted author and editor. The French government owns a monopoly of the tobacco business. If you want a cigar, cigarette or package of scafarlati you must buy it from the government. The French tobacco business is bad, because the government, trust ing to monopoly, hasn't done any ad vertising. Now French tobacco stores are to be made attractive and the government will push tobacco sales and profit through intelligent adver tising. The French ought tb borrow Mr. Whalen, or Mr. Schulte from the United States and learn from him how to make tobacco stores pay. LAKE LURE A PUBLIC ASSET The formal presentation of Lake Lure to the public through the dedi cation of its town Tuesday is an event of real importance to a large sec tion of the state, says The Asheville Citizen. The great property whose canon is a natural rampedence ris §ig from the Piedmont Plain to the Asheville Plateau is legally owned by Dr. L. B. Morse and _ associates through Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., but in a wider sense it now be comes a public enterprise. It is a great enterprise, a wonder ful conception of an extensive moun tain lake sha«Tpwed by sheer cliff faces and mighty monoliths, repre senting an outlay of millions of dol lars. It has become a public asset and a decided factor in the up building of this section. Western North Carolina has a stake in its success and so today cordially con- gratulates those who have created so great an attraction to lure people to this mountain land. Many will profit from their fine endeavors. FRIENDS WORKING FOR POPULAR EFIRD MANAGER The many friendfe of Mr. P. T. Reinhardt, popular Efird managfci at Forest City, are working hard for him in the contest inaugurated by Efird's in their annual June Chain Sale, and he bids fair to not only win a trip to New York, but to show to the state at large what a splen did trading center Forest City has become. Mr. Reinhardt has a competitor, the manager of the Lumberton Efird branch store. The store making its quota and beating its competitor gets SIOO in cash and the manager gets a fine trip to New York, all expenses paid—a real trip, the tired editor will say. Each clerk gets a bonus from all sales softer passing their quota. It is reported to The Courier that Mr. Reinhardt is now leading his Lumberton competitor and bids fair to win the honors. Of course, his friends are not going to let Lum berton beat Forest City > Incidentally, in closing, it might be said that Mr. Reinhardt reports the greatest sale in the history of the Forest City store. Naturally. He has done more advertising in The Courier than ever before. ROCKEFELLER'S HAPPINESS RECEIPT John D. Rockefeller, happy and hale at 86, attributes his wholesome love of life and general good condi tion to the fact that he never "lets anything bother him." This is a first-class receipt for hap piness. But, how many persons are there in the world who can adopt this method of insuring peace and good cheer? Many of us bother about a lot of things that aren't worth the bother. Mr. Rockefeller would eliminate these things, and so would the most of us, if only we could. For some I'eason, however, we concern our selves about so many little inconse quential affairs —little matters that do not help or hinder our daily lives. "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow," covers our mental gyrations often. Some tiny little word, or act, bothers us. It begins to grow, and haunt us, and finally—because we've permitted the acorn to bothr-r us— it becomes a mighty oak. shadowing us in despair. A serene world, truly, if all of us would follow John D.'s rule not to "let anything bother him." GENERAL BOWLEY AND BAND VISIT RUTHERFORDTON Rutherfordton, June 15.—After a wonderful reception accorded them here last night, General Bowley and the United States Army band, depart ed this morning for Lake Lure, for the cornerstone ceremony scheduled for that point today. The party is accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Kraut, and daughter, and Mrs. J. M. Whitfield and daughter, Miss Al lie Morris Whitfield, of Charlotte, the well known dancer, who will give an exhibition at Lake Lure today. For her use Vice President Randle has had constructed a special plat form on the lawn of the old Logan house. The motor-cade leaving here this morning had several hundred ma chines in the road and it looks as a large crowd will attend the event at Lake Lure opening.
