H. T. Hunter, Cuilowhee; I. H. Pow
ell and II. E. Buchanan. Sylva to se
lect a sito and solicit subscription
for stock in a country club, and with
the subscription of something moro
than $10,000, at a meeting of citizens
held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, Friday evening, a long step
was taken toward the creation of a
country club and the laying out of
a golf course and the construction
of si swimming pool for the u:e of
the people of Sylva, Dillsboro, Cuilo
whee and lower Jackson county.
The site most disqussed, and i'i
fact the only one talked of at the,
meeting, was the John Davis place,
between Sylva and Cuilowhee. It was
stated at the meeting that this is
an admirable site, it being thought
that thete 'is room there for ;m J 3
hole-golf course, and it having ;no:o
than a mile of frontage on the Tuck
aseigce liver. It was also {minted on:,
that the site is most' conveniently
located f?r the large treritory whi<fi |
it is expected to serve. The \ovners
of t!ie projicrty stated) in the meeiing
that they would sell it for theUi-iC 01
a country club, for the amount' which
was paid for it, plus carrying elmrgos
which'is said< to be in the neighbor
hood of $19,(100. It was indicated tli.'t
between $25,000 and $30000 won! 1
be necessary lo cai-ry the plans into
effect, and optimistic \iews were ta
ken of raising the required sum.
It is proposed to Sell stock in the
company which will be the owners
and developers of the property) and
to sell yearly memberships in the
club to local people. It is thought
that the yearly dues and the daily
green fees, to he charged non-mem
bers using the golf course,' will ki-on
up the property and pay a good divi
dend on the investment.
Mi*, dames M. Long, a former cit
izen aud a native of this county, nowi
a big merchant of Haywood county,
who is president o'f the Waynesvillc
Country Club, witlf Mr. >R. L. Pre
vost, secretary of the Wayiiesvilla
club was present, by invitation ami
both he and Mr. Pi'evost expressed
opinions, based ujkmi their experience
with the Waynj ville..club, that in
vestment In stock in the projjosod
club here, would bo a sound, busi
ness investment. . 1 * ' .
The niauy advantages accruing to
the community from the club, were
pointed out by various speakers. A
number of them stated that from the
standpoint of the development of this
immediate region as a tourist center,
that the golf course would prove '
most valuable asset, as more and
more gol I' is becoming a popular gartie
with the people of this country, and
that a golf coiirse is absolutely neces
sary to si op tourists and to hold
them in a community. Others took the
view that a country club is a great
community asset, in welding tlic peo
ple together, as it was jiointed out
that when men and wowien jpieen,
daily or weekly, 011 the golf course
and about the country club, in a
social way, they learn each other bet
ter, and arc naturally drawn closer.
Still others favored the move from
tin* standpoint ol' giving the young
l>eop!e of the community a means of
diversion that is helpful and healthy,
a means by which the youth of the
community can express itself in whole
some play.
The committee was to go over the
,projK>sod site, and any others that it
might jeare to investigate, and to as
certain whether there is suitable and
ample ground for the expansion of
the plans of the club, to negotiate

Over 200 pounds of copper carbon

Mr. Hairy E. Buchanan, owner of
the Lyric Theatre is authority for th>J
statement that the new theatre, no v
being erectcd by H. 0. Curtis, con
tractor for Mr. Buchanan is bein:
rushed' to completion and it is ev
pected that the theatre will open u
its splendid new building about Nov
ember first.
Twenty months ago Mr. Buchanan
purchased a Main Street lot, between
tiie present Lyric Theatre and the
Tuckaseegee Bank, and late this sum
mer began the erection of the m w
building, which is of brick and othor
fire proof materials and will be mod
ern in every respect. It will have a
seating capacity for 400 people, will
be equipped with new screens, new
px-ojecting machines, new open seats

summer and warm during the winter
months.

policy of the Lyric, only the best
films obtainable will be shown/

nights a week and will put on fi! i
features such as are found in the best
theatres of the larger towns.

Lyric. Mr. Buchanan frankly states
that the present theatre business docs
not justify the expansion that he is
launching but believes in the futa-c
of Sylva and is building for the fu
ture.
SMOKY MOUNTAIN PABK
DRIVE TO BE OPENED SOON
Plans for a national campaign to
raise additional funds for the acquis

indications are that the drive will be
launehed the latter part of October
or the first of November, it was an
nounced Saturday by State Senator
Plato D. Ebbs, of Asheville, treasurer
of the North Carolina park commis
sion and a leading spirit in the na
tional park proposal.
Senator Ebbs expressed utmost
confidence in the ultimate success of
the drive which he said would be
launched under the direction of Major
W. A. Welch, of New York, chairman
of the Southern Appalachian Park
commission, inc., in conjunction with
federal officials and officers of the
park commissions of North Carolina
Tennessee, and Virginia.
In Virginia, the Shenandoah Na

a plan similar to that approved fox*

park. In the national campaign :i
fund equal to the amount Virginia
has provided will also be sought.
At present, Senator Ebbs stated, n
crew of thirty men is at work making
surveys and timber estimates in the
North Carolina portion of the Smoky
Mountains park and other crews are
at work on the Tennessee part of the
park area. From data obtained
these surveys, Senator Ebbs explain
ed, it will be possible to determine
the approximate amount required for
the purchase of lands.
Senator Ebbs said he expected to
go to Washington and New York
within the next few days for a con
ference with Major Welch and with
federal officials with reference to
launching the national campaign. He
expressed confidence that the drive
will meet with ready response every
where.
