"Coolidge Hooks Five Trout,"
screams a headline; and that's called
news I
"North Carolina is The Banner
State of the South"?Herbert Hoov
M.
AU hail, Carolina! The old
North State passes New York, and
is now the leader in the sisterhood in
payments of taxes to support the
federal government.
:
News Item: Mecklenburg, Haywood
and Buncombe, three of the big Dem
ocratic eountiest of the state are said
to be going to lead the fight for the
repeal of the absentee ballot law,
when the general assembly meets.
Perhaps he is referred to as the
Dry Czar because of the Russian
maimer assumed by some of his
agents.
We eaught more than 25 trout one
day this year and narry a daily paper
mentioned it. Mr. Coolidge caught j
five and it was the leading news of!
the day. Dollars to doughnuts our
trout were as good as his.

These evolutionists and fundamen-1
talists tried to kick up a rumpus by
staging a debate in Charlotte. North
Carolinans went on in the even tenor
of their ways and the thing fizzled
out by reason of non-support. Now
these National Association of What
doyoucailits are tryinp to force Sun
day Baseball, and such on us. The
hope is that they[ will play out from
the same cause. The truth to tell,
Sunday legislation may not be con-1
stitutional; but North Carolina 'is
reasonably well .satisfied with the
way Sunday is now observed, and
with the laws concerning it; so why
should the Whatdoyoucallits worry
about it!
HIGHWAY 106
Highway 106, the Wade Hampton
Memorial Highway, the Smoky Moun
tains Park Trail, the Cullowhee road,
or whatever name you wish to call
it, is destined to become one of the
most traveled roads in the moun
tains. It has always been the most
important artery of commerce for
Jackson county. It has been the route
over which a large and rich section
of Jacksofn county comes to market.
It has been the chief support of
Sylva. , ' '?> |
It is written in the stars that this
road must continue on to the South
Carolina line, and that South Car
olina must carry it on to the sea, to
Charleston and Savannah and Au
gusta. Over it will come the thous
ands from the Southeast who wli
visit the Great Smoky Mountains Na
j tional Park. It is a part of what will
be a great highway leading from the
' South, through the mountains and
! the park1 to Knoxville and the mid
I die west. Geography made it as it is.
If Jackson county is to continue to
[grow and expand and progress, the'
| county must increase the value of ?
taxable property. That is obvious
The best way that is now in sight to
that end is the development of
southern Jackson county, Cashier's
Valley, Hamburg, Mountain, Canada
those provinces where nature broke
her apron-strings and ^uured out in-j
calculable blessings, and beauty and
grandeur. The first step in that de
velopment is the building of Highway
106 into one of the great higwhays
of North Carolina.
There lies our duty. There lies our
opportunity. There is pledged thej
j promise of the Sylva Chamber of
| Commerce, of the people of Sylva,
i and of the state highway commis
sion.
PARTY PICNICS

PLAN ROAD MEETING
AT HIGH HAMPTON
Mr. E. L. McKee is in receipt of a
letter from the secretary of the Wal
halla, S. C., Chamber of Commerce,
stating that plana are being made
for a joint meeting of the highway
commissioners of South Carolina and
of North Carolina, at an early date,
at High Hmptoan, on the old Sloan
Turnpike.
The object of the meeting is to lay
before the North Carolina road au
thorities the plans of the people of
the two states for the old Sloan
Turnpike to be taken over and placed
on the map as a part of the state
highway system, and to get surfacing
on the South Carolina end of the
road.
The Sloan Turnpike, leading from
Walhalla to Cashier's Valley, has
been renamed the Wade Hampton
Memorial Highway and is attracting
much coment throughout; the south
east as it is designed to shorten
the distance from many SoQthern
cities to Cashier's Valley, Sylva, The
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, and to Knoxville and Tennes
