''??$/ Mr. McXee has been the bead of, and bad the management of tb* Tan nery and Extract Plant at Sylva for a long term of years, and baa been greatly interested in the undertaking of utilizing the chips from the extract plant by making them into paper board. It is understood, as announced in The Journal several weeks ago, that the work of erecting the new paper plant will begin sometime this month, and engineers and others perfecting the plans preliminary to the begin ning of operations are already in Sylva. It was pointed out that while the Sylva Paperboard Company's plant is to be located in Sylva, that it a by no means a local concern ; but one that spends immense amounts of mon ey and gives employment to many people throughout the counties of Western North Carolina. Last yetr the Parsons' Tanning Company bought chestnut wood from practi cally every county in the mountains. The government is urging that tLe people harvest their chestnut as rap idly as possible, in view of the blight, and it is predicted that ehestntt *s a source of wealth will be exhausted within fifty years, on account of the / yeriL It is "~qTi rrrtiiiii[tt^ | tBil MuH the extract plant* caa*krt poeaftriV consume all available chestnut *i;h in that period. Hence, it is stated that the npf Sylva concent if not coming into this section in competition with any other plant, but to the contrary is welcomed by all of them, and should, and will prove of great , advantage to the en tire section by giving' continuous and additional market to the ebestnut tim ber of the Southern Appalachians, which has no protection from the South American tanning products. Another feature that is advanced concerning the new plant is that *t will make into marketable . paper board the chestnut chip*, that are at present a dead waste, and will prob ably be the forerunner of other plants of the sane character that will eoi^e to Western North Carolina. | The product to be manufactured iti, Sylva will in no way conflict with products of any other Western North Cnroihia plant as the only paper in ) the same class manufactured in the In. ted States at present i* the ftraw 'ward of Ihe Middle Wes.t ? By assuring the operation of the tanning extract plant, through the entire year, without interuptian earn ed by the importation of South Amer ican products, the new paper mifi will aft'ord a' continuous market for large quantities of chestnut wood, aiyl will thereby create a seouree of for farmers in all Western North Carolina and give employment to ma ny men throughout the entire section ?f the state. I Olf.cials of the company ef**pbati_! eally state that there will *- no pol lution of streams or offensive odor from the mill. ? II ?

Writing in the recent edition of the New York Her ald-Tribuhe Governor A. W. McLean painted a vivid and alluring picture of the resort possibilities offered in North Carolina, , both as they appl ; to summer and winter tourist travel. The Governor touches on all phases of the diversified activity afforded and closed his article with a tribute to the network of highways tha4 !iave drawn the people of the State info one large family and affording excel* lent travel for the visitor coming into the State. Hjs article follows : "That section of North Carolina known as "The Land of the Sky ' and long famous as a vacation and referred to as "The Playground of Eastern America." The coastal ac tion of the State also has become .1 resort of nation wide reputation, the development having received much 1mpctns during the last few y^ars be cause of unusual activity in building resort hotels and cottage* w> rare for the many tourists who visit that sec tion. "While those ports of North Caro lina have been attractive largely be cause of the cool and refreshing sum mers, tourists who arrived early or stayed late oft^n prolong their visits into the winter months because of the short and mild season. As a re sult the mountain and coastal areas ofjhe State have become alnpst ?? uTfii sandhill sMSou of ftorth resort an a, particularly iu the nation resOrt area, prticulrly in the nation ally known and highly developed sections around Pinehurst and South ern Pines. "North Carolina ai a whole offers to the tourist both summer and win ter relief ? from heat and cold, for its seasons are extremely mild. "They offer striking contrast to the heat of large cities and flat lands in sum mer and to the penetrating cold of more northern portions of the tfMntry in the winter. "Resort sections have been made easily accessible. Three great lines of railroad cross the State from North to South, with splendid east and west lines and connections. Pro bably more attractive still are 'the several thousands of miles of hard surfaced highways that have been de veloped int" a network covering the state and placing all sections within easy reach by automobile. Excellent I trans -continental highways enter j North Carolina from north, sou h and west. "Winter Sports and lecreational activities include hunting, fishing, horseback riding, golfing, polo, and others. Weather conditions perr;it such activities practically every diy during the winter months, the air be ing particularly invigorating and bracing. "North Carolina offers much o the visitor interested in industrial development, in educational progress, in historical incidents and in natural resco ureas. She has her coastaj plains and seashore, her piedmont plateaus and high mountains alll within a day's journey, even over 600 miles of her length. The excellent road iys* tern she has been developing during the last few years has brought her people closer together, so it does not take long to mingle with the fisher folk on the eastern coast, the 'frtit and truck growers of the sandhill^ the Industrial workers of the pied mont section and the ragged moun taineers of the western ana ^ ' "The people of ty>rth Carolina extend to tourist* from other states a cordial invitation to visit the state and tee far themselves jut what re markable development has SMM during .fcc6nt ycirs-^nsii ill the IumI er ifce$* tafUhsr with Mfs.
