Park is progressing rapidly and satis
factorily it was announced Tues

who spends the greater part of his
executive committee of the North
Carolina park commission which is
composed of Dr. E. C. Brooks, of Ra

who spends the gerater part of his
time in the park !area made reports
to the icommittee ion the progress
which is being made in making sur

area. /
c
A crew of thirty men is engaged on
this phase of the work which, it was
explained, is being done in order to
ascertain the exact an^ount which
will be required in the purchase of
lands for the park. North Carolina
and Tennessee, in which the proposed
park is situated, will buy the land
and' turn it over to the federal gov
ernment for development and main
tenance. The greater portion of the
fund for purchase of land has been
raised by legislative appropriation by
popular subscriptions in the two
states.
A national campaign for additional
funds will be launched the latter
part of October or the first of No
vember. The national campaign will
be directed by Col. W. A. Welch, of
New York City chairman of tthc

CHINA MISSIONARIES
SPEAK AT OULLOWHEB
Cullowhee, October 19.?The Meth
odist Missionary Circle, which met
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. F. H. Brown, was very fortunate
in having at its October meeting, Mr.
and Mn. F M Boyall, niissiMsriss
to China who have been in this coon
try during the political trouble in
China.
The Circle has been studying "Ths
Moslem Women" and Mrs. Royall
spoke especially of her experiences
with those of this faith in Chins,
who although not very numerous ars
very difficult to convert. Their stan
dards of cleanliness and living gener
ally arc much higher than those of
the average Chinese and they ars
proud and unapproachable. Making a
contact is one of the hardest tasks
which confront the missionarv. Mil
Royall said. In one place she was fore
ed for months to walk the streets,
with a crowd of children following at
her heels throwing stones, before she
was invited into any homes. Most
of the people who attend the meetings
go for a "way to get rid of sins."
Mr. Royall gave a few very vivid
details of life in China. His terri
tory was at times in lands Where no
missionary had ever been before. His
description of the thousands of peo
ple who are born, live and die on the
river houses and his story of those
living in dugouts in the ground show
ed how hard it; is to reach theChinese
even in Shangai, where there have
been missionaries for so long a time.
One of the ways which he found most
effective in winning the people was
sharing a joke which appealed to
their keen sense of humor.
During the meeting the society
decided to give a supper in the school
building on Tuesday evening, October
"25th the proceeds from which aro
to help meet obligations already con
tracted.
