BE CMIPLETED TODAY
J *
It is stated authoratively that the
work of paving Highway No. 10
from Balsam to the limits of the
town of Sylva will be completed to
day by both contractors, and that
the road will be thrown open for
travel two weeks from this time.
The detoor across Caler's Hill, has
been eliminated by the opening of
the concrete from Addie to Willits.
The t,ravel now detours from Beta to
Addie, over the old road by the Dil
lard Bryson home place, and strikes
the concrete at Addie following it to
Willits. Thence another short detour
is used to Woodfin Creek, where the
concrete is agai^t reached and the
road is open from that point to
Asheville. This makes travel across
Balsam both easy and safe, as the
detours are good and maintained by
the state highway forces.

KILL NOT LOCATE
NO. IOAT rRESENT|
James G. Stikeleather, highway
commissioner for this construction
district, stated to officials of the
town of Sylva, at a conference in
Asheville last week, that he has not
sufficient funds at present to locate
and pave Highway 'No. 10 from the
city limits to the center of town, and
that the budget calls for putting
more stone on the short stretch on
the present location, oiling it and,
maintaining it until sufficient funds
accrue to complete the job. He fur
ther stated that a crusher and a
large force of hands, working under
the state highway department will
be placed on Highway 106 at as
early date as a crusher can be re
leased probably early in the fall, and
that the highway will be surfaced
with water bound macadam, from
Tuckaseigee to Cullowhee. The com
missioner stated that he hoped to
have the surface on the new grading
between East Laporte and the forks
of the river before bad weather sets
in this winter..
Mr. Stikeleather expressed the
opinion that the road should be of
concrete from Cullowsec to Sylva.
Speaking of the short link on 186
from Dillsboro to the end of the new
concrete, the commissioner stated
that sand will be pumped from the
river and put on this stretch which
will be oiled, making a good connec
tion until the new bridge can be con
structed across the Tuckaseigee.

WHY PROSPERITY
FOLLOWS THE DAIRY COW
The dairy cow has been most ap
propropriately named the "mother of
Agricultural Prosperity." Wherever
she is found in numbers, there also
is found paved roads, attractive
farm homes, good rural schools and
churches, rich land and most import
ant of all?healthy, contented farm
families.
There are several reasons why
dairy farming promotes prosperity.
The work on the average farm is not
distributed evenly throughout the
twelve months of the year. There
we seasons when the farmer is
flooded with work and there are
seasons when he is idle. The dairy
cow affords him profitable employ*
ment every day in the year. The
milking and caring for the milk and
cream must be done.?By B. W.
Bleachley, Agr. Agt Sou. By.

NEGBO BOY KNOCKED
DOWN BYAUTONOBILE
A small negro boy, son of John
Norman, was knocked down and
bruised by a Ford car driven by Mr.
Joe Davis, of Beta, near the Sylva
Tanning Company's plant Saturday
afternoon.
Mr. Davis immediately took, the
small boy in his car and brought him
to Sylva where he was given medical
attention and it is thought that he is
not seriously injured.
Mr. Davis stated that four negro
children were playing behind an old
car parked on the side of the road,
and that three of them ran across the
road in front of his car. He slowed
down almost to a stop, and thought
that the children were all across
when on starting up again, the small
er boy which Mr. Davis had not seen
darted directly in front of him. The
boy was knocked down, and the car
ran over him, non^ of the wheels,
however, crossing his body.
BRANCH CREAMERY

The branch creamery at Franklin
will be formally opened on July 30,

will attend.
Fanners and business men of Jack
son county are invited to go over and
see their markets for dairy products.
Dairy specialists predict that the

not been dreamed before.
Old time barbecue and ice cream

CAROLINA APPLES
GIVEN HIGH BANK
North Carolina produces some fino
apples and experts here believe that
it should be a very profitable crop.
I But in all the reports on fruit grow
j ing, the state is never listed as an
important factor. The apple growers
could get better recognition and
more advertising if they were to
make a drive for it. The Blowing
Bock, Waynesville and Roaring Gap
sections produce excellent apples.
Taylorsville, the town that Capt.
Thos. Rowland of the Southern Rail
way, made famous, ia on the edge of
a great apple region. The western
part of the state has other commun
ities that are famous locally for the
flavor and quantity of the fruit pro
duced.
In a bulletin on apples, the De
partment of Agriculture points out
that Americans are improving as
producers and consumers.
"Although consumption of apples
in the United States is less than the
proverbial 'apple a day' averaging
Ap^t three apples a week per cap
ita, the American people lead the
world as apple eaters," the depart
ment asserts.
North Carolina apples are given
credit for their rich quality and high
rank in flavor.
"Three states?New York, Michi
gan and Virginia," it is pointed out,
"produce nearly one half of the aver
age commercial erop in the barrel
region. Leading commercial main
crop varieties of the barreled apple
regiori are Baldwin and Rhode Is
land Greening in the North; York
Imperial and Winesap and Den Dav
is and Jonathan in the jgatf. Lead
DR. GEO. 1 RUT
IN FRANKLIN
Franklin Press.
Dr. George Truett, of Dallas,
Texas, world renowned divine, andv
Dr. J. C. McConnell of Atlanta, will
again hold a great revival meeting in
Franklin's big tabernacle on the
southern outskirts of town, for ten
days from August 6th to 16th. Rev.
A. J. Smith, formerly of Franklin,
and now pastor of the First Baptist
church at Goldsboro, will arrive next
week to assist the local people in the
necessary preparations.
In July of last year these two em
inent divines preached to approxi
mately 70,000 people during^ a ten
days revival at Franklin. Both I)r.
Truett and Dr. McConnell were born
and reared in the mountains of this
immediate section, the .former in Clay
county, North Carolina, and the lat
ter in Towns county, Georgia, They
have never lost their love for the.
mountain people, from among whom
soi many great men go out into the i
world to leave an indelible impres
sion of the rugged honesty and deep
ly religious characteristics of the
mountain folk.s
The tabernacle in which the coming
meeting will be held is located in a
natural amphitheatre, and will seat
approximately 4,000 people, while
thousands of others may gather un
der the trees and listen to each ser
*
mon. The roads leading into Frank
lin are in excellent condition. .With
good weather conditions, Mr. Stike
leather reports that No. 10 across the
Balsams will be opened by August 5.
Asheville will then be within two
hours of Franklin. The road from the
south by the way of Tallulah Falls,
while not surfaced, is nearly all
graded and in excellent condition.
The road to Murphy by way of 286
and No. 10 is open approximately al\
the way. Good detours are provided
where the road is under construction.
In view of these better road condi
tions Franklin this year is expecting
to be host to 100,000 people who will
come to hear Drs. Truett and Mc
Connell.
Our exchanges are requested to
give publicity to the Truett-McCon
nell meeting.
BRYSON CITY KNITTING MILL
WILL SOON BE RUNNING
Bryson City Times.
Bryson City Knitting mill will soon
be ready to run, it is said. Already
much of the machinery has been
placed and some of it tested out. The
first pair of sox was knit on one of
flic machines there Tuesday. There
will be 20 machines in operation.
ing Fall kinds are Oldenberg, Weal
thy and Mcintosh.
"Cold storage, in most sections has
largely superseded common storage
for long keeping of market apples.
Sometimes over one fourth of the
commercial apple crop is reported in
cold storage at the height of the sea
son. Barreled apples compose about
,half the average stock in cold stor
age. " * v . "5"
"The leading market for New'York
State apple are Boston, Buffalo, Cin
cinnati, Cleveland Indianapolis New
ark New York", Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and Providence; Chicago and
Detroit are the chief markets for"
Michigan apples; Milwaukee, New
Orleians, St. Louis and St. Paul for
Iilinois apples; Kansas Ciity, Mem
phis, Minneapolis and Omaha for
Missouri apples; and. Birmingham
and Washington for Virginia apples.
"Of the fruits exported from the
United States, apples rank first in
point of value, with total exports as
fresh fruit for the year ending June
30, 1924, of 2,032,000 barrels and
fi,198,000 boxes, valued at over $23,
000,000. The United Kingdom purch
ases about three fourths of our sur
plus apples while the largest percent
age of dried apples goes to the Neth
erlands, Germany and Scandinavian
countries. ? .
"The increasing proportion of high
grade fruit in the market is, driving
out apples not well grown, well sort
ed and well packed. Only the product
of the well managed commercial or
chards in sections with some advant
ages of climate, soil and" location
seems to have much chance to survive
intAnm nompntition,
