*2.00 TUE YEAR IN ADVANCE OUT SIDE THE COUNTY BIO PROMOTERS *POUR r. ffij millions INTO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ;IN 192u mm ^ ^ i' '?V!% ' \ The Charlotte News of December 27, carried 011 its first'page under a streaming box-car headline, the fol lowing review ?yid outlook with re ?mrd to the development of Wester North Carolina: (. :y., H ' jgK Investment in Western North Cay? turn, principally in projects-relate^ to industrial ami real estate develop* inputs, tMftt nmy approximate ' tensive impro v amenthat % ?efc I tion of the great, natural beatt^^t, imdevcloped Viwoqj^fes will be^nnder taken within a {ej^vfeka anq other may be launehm^i^totervnls in th* coui^e of the year. , The popular interest in^these pros pects, all of them planned on- a laigc scale, lacks any spectacular clement Investors here who have acquire* interests iu some of these munerou enterprises, particularly real cstat< and hotel properties, and .agents her for some of those developmen. companies are in accord in declaring that there is no excitement attendan vpon the progress of the Western North Carolina counties. Neither i: this interest concentrated 011 one or ; lew localities, but the accomplish juents in a material way are well sea tered over the whole section. Some estimates, based 011 careful I Iv made surveys place at $100,000,00) the amount of foreign capital whicl lias been brought into Western Nortt Carolina in the .course of the pas three years by the appeal this sec tion's potential resources has mad. to the judgement of financies. Thesi estimates indicate that perhaps ha:, of that amount was invested withii the past) twelve months. Approximately a dozen tremendou developments, largely in the uatur> of resorts, are being promoted' witi remarkable success, and are makin; the names of as many Western Nortl Carolina localities known far beyoiu 4, the limits of this State. At the sitim time this is-b^f^r-aosompJished, thev. '.is industrial development of trenwn dons importance, whicl: is serving u . . l4.4|MwC lU li* eicu pcmticns. .

The influx o new population into these coininuni ties around which these big deveTop incnts are in progress is another im portant proof of stability, and, at t'ic same time, the population, in crease has not been at a rate greatei than the px*eparations of the indivi dual communities for the reeeptior of new citizens. Among this new population is ar aggressive leadership, and the sub stantial, conservative natives, pool ing their efforts and interests wit! the wealth, enthusiasm and daring oJ men from other sections, are reaping a harvest in increased riches which i: proportionate to their progress ii converting natural resources an< lonp;-ncgIected opportunities to prae tical purposes. The wave of develop .incnt now spreading over approximate ly 30 counties in this Western Nort! Carolina section is the result of s combination of favorable economi* forces that first became appreeiabh v -th the turn of expansion in th? textile manufacturing industry frorr New England to the Carolinas abou< (thrce years ago.

Gj* r * * *?'?;? * I varous kind3 are being carried for-j ward in Western North Carolina, a' great combination industrial and re sori development projects seem .to be just now attaining their stride, even though tremendous accomplish ments have boon put behind and more ambitious plans launched. The real estate market in Western North Caroliua is increasing in breadth and volume at a great rate, and the con stant addition of new projects to the already long list seems not to be do ing more than kecpiug pace with thi increase in public interest backed by cash. The sources of this public in terest arc becoming more and more scattered, and just' recently larg< Chicago syndicates have begun nego tiating deals for North Carolinr. jountain lands that involve hundreds f thousands of dollars. The momentum which the enter prises launched in the past three years have given to the development .,f Western North Carolina bids fair to carry this scction to greater and lore varied undertaking, as well as oringing about an unprecedented vol ume of investments. One of the imJ l>ortjint economic considerations point cd tO in support of this forecast ic that thi' territory is pro\id *\ f. -:t a .1 '.leans "o .? .it, ?,!, ".veil as f : A / .. ,r , iUi ti(o ihcusunds of new ?i.nic which the development ?...panics are providing for on a .?adily increasing scale. i.ho State Highway Commission's ? <[ building progranvntw far ad .1 id ^t far froiri^B^Peted, has ,ad a tiomend'^us effect on the lives ind the attitude toward progressive propositions of the residents of the .lountain counties of Western North Carolina. These highways opening up .Ids territory of magnificent sceneiy and vast undeveloped industrial pos baities, have enabled thousands of lors from other States to in timately acquaint themselves witl the region and its opportunities. The present condition of great prospcrit*. and rapid advance in these counti'.;. constitutes a further evidence that industry is following the automobdi;, and, as the State's network of fin. highways is extended on into r o c remote mountain regions, new dc clopments are launched. 7L0RIDA TIES WITH CARO LINA IN TRAFFIC DEATIiS Aallanta, Ga., Jan. 11?A sharp lecrease in the number of tra~ c Natalities in the south was noted in a survey for the week ended in 4 light by the Associated Press early 'oday.

Z. Wright. Miss Wright has been an invalid for over two years, and has ,bcen unable to walk, or help herself ? w .y, until last Thursdaynight v- oivok/at which time she spranp; from the-bed and went from room to i, , ? \r_ * i\i ?. ? t awake the family, all thu i-tjoxing in her recovray.1 Last Thureray night the family t6 tired as usual, after attending to thn wants of Miss Wright, and nothing ii .ua. noted as to her actions. It had been generally thought that Wright would always be an in valid. It seems that the miracle was . i ?? * not accomplished so suddenly, as it appe?'M to the family and to frionds, bul, according to Miss Wright, is the result and culmination of days anc lii.iutlis of prayer that has helped her to reach a plane of faith that was prrfect in its cure. Miss Wright, it is reported, is no fanatic, nor does she belong to strange culls, but is a member of the Metho dist church in her neighborhood. Since the night of her rejuvenation Miss Wright has been doing house wi<rk and insisting that she is abso lutcly normal in health again. Miss Wright is a sister of Mrs Wiil Calhey, West Ashevillo, and ji wcu known to many Asheville people as well as by people in the Candlo) community, it is stated. LOVE'S CHAPEL ITEMS Itjv. W. C.

POULTRY ASSOCIATION HAS MEETINO On the evening of the eighth,a most ing of Jackson County Poultry Asso ciation was held in tho Mayor's offico in 8ylva, followed by an excellent dinner at the cafe of W. A. Hawkins. Despite the inclemency of the weather, there was a fairly good at tendance of representatives, enthusi astic poultrynien, and several sub jects relating to the proposed work of the Association, were discussed. It is belived by those who havo boon associated with this oiganiza tion heretofore, and by the numbers of responsible persons who havo joined this year, that the chicken and <?gg business will reach a high mark in Jaekson this coming esason, and 111 preparation for the spring's stock of baby chicks, eggs, and mature stock, all members of the associativa are urged to make their choice o? breed, variety, strain and numbers early, as it is a well known fact that it is extremely difficult to secure do livery when wanted unless ampW notioo be given. ( The association is anxious to be ct whatever aid it may to those who are not in position to make their owu purchases independently, and it is certain that a considerable saving in eost should be effected thru clubbing* of orders. However, in order to ex pedite this work, it is absolutely necessary for the association to be advised immediately, in detail, as to what will be required by members, and it is hoped that no one interested will neglect the matter later than January 20th. Kindly inform the association as to your plans, and if not already a member, you are invited to send the sum of one dollar, which will pay you thru December of this year, entitling you to the benefits of the of tho co operative efforts of the association an outlined above, and in recent letters mailed to a limited number of names, limited only because of lack of in formation as to who the poultry people were. Tho next regular meeting of the as sociation will be held on the first Fri day night in next month. You are ex pected to attend. Without further ^notice, please send your membership fee, which is to cover necessary expenses, and give the association any information you can as to what they may be able to do for you this spring, beginning now. Two weeks from now, hatcheries and breeders will have sold up most of their desirable stock for tl.?! period when it will be wanted, so that it stands every one in hand to pro tect their interests by early action. It is by no means required of mem bers that they allow the association tj represent them in buying, as the nly difference is the saving to the buyer himself, and it is his privilege to do as he pleases. In the interest of better poultry. ( Jackson County Poultry Associa tion, Roy C. Allison, President. Ben H. Cathey, Secretary. FUNERAL OF MRS. STYLES The funeral of Mrs. W. B.
