pi i lientkees, and which has gone to
Piv>iilcni Coolidge tor his signature,
oi i a r- reaching political audi social
iijrniiii-aiiec in Jackson, Swain and
hraliitni counties.
I j., believed that this act will sct
i,.( t or all time, the citizenship of
|h,. Chcrokccs, which has been the
ui^is of many political battles, m
ii, ii.:i| Swain counties, mid it is
mite conceivable that, unless ]>oliti
ral organizations in these two coun
ies see fit to make the provisions of
lie State Constitution, as to the lit
racy fesi, applicable to the large ma-.
in- i I \ of the Cherokee Indians, that
Ins large body of non-tax-paying cit
'.? ii< will hold ''he balance of politi
|al power in Jackson and Swain couu
? and, in close elections, in the
lii-'icial and Congressional districts.
\M ;ii ? of Congress in 1!)24 atithor
l/i'l i he Secretary of the Interior to
.in certificates of citizenship to all
|iiinpetc!il Indians, but the law was
Mierprcied ;is not including the Ens

(lie ;>'?!, which now only awaits/ the
.nature of President Coolidge to
jinke it law, was designed to bring
In- N'orih Carolina Cherokees under

Judge Pesdci^A? McB^y Monday

is, at prfeieent, busy taking title to
land within the Park arm, to be
turned over to the Pmted States
Government, at the earliest fusible
moment. The Sur. crest Lumber Com

VVaynesville, and owus limber lands
and railroads in the Smoky Moan
tains, it is understood, refused, to
sell its holdings within the, Park area,
at what, in the opinion of the Park
Commission, aetiug upon the author
ity of the National Paark legislation,
enacted at the fast session of the
General Assembly of North Carolina,
resorted to condemnation proceedings,
and*' carried a ease, testing the con
stitutionality of the act, to the 8n
jwemc Court of XTort h Carolina. That
tribunal unanimously declared the
law valid, in every particular. In the
meantime, the SOncrest Lumber Com
pany began and continued cutting
timber upon the lands sought to be
condemned for park purposes. Injunc

State courts by the Park Commis

pany countered, By appealing" to .the
'Federal courts, for an injunction
?gainst the Park Commission, enjoin

Webb refused the petition o? the

Federal Judges and remanded for a
re-hearing. Judge Webb, Judge Par
ker and Judge Hayes heard the pe
tition of the lumber company and
refused to grant it. Last week Mr.
J Chief Justice William Howard Taft,
of the United States Supreme Court,
heard the petition of the Suncrest
people, who were seeking interlock
tory injunction to^prevent Judge Mc
Elroy from prohibiting the cutting of
the tfinber. Judge Taft inquired as
?T whether the Supreme Court of N. C
had passed upon the constitutionality 1
of the act ami, upon being informed
thot the North Carolina Courts hold
the act to be- constitutional, he re
fused to grant the petition of the lum
ber company, and. ilie same day
Judge McElrov, U|>on learning the de
cision of Chief Justice Taft, signed
a temporary restraining order, which
his action at Murphy, Monday, made
permanent, prohibiting the cutting of
timber iu the Park area, upon penal
ty, it would seem, of being in con
tempt of all the courts.
~ The Suncrest Lumber Company
promptly appealed to the Supreme
Court of North Carolina; but, in the
meantime, no further timber can be
mi and the hand of the despoiler is
stayed, from the primitive forests of
Smoky Mountains, whiiv
advocates believe will now soon
