genu that the logieal thing to do

plant in some central locality, prob
ably near Sylva or Bry son City. This
Tould save trnns|>ortation from this!
district to Tennessee, averaging about!

This ore is in the form of sulphide,
horn as chalcopyrite, which also ear-'
nw high sulphur content. The sul-{

pvnte occur in abundance . From
ores ot this type sulphuric aeid ia
obtained, Sulphuric acid plants might
also probably* be established in con
nection with a smeting plant."
The state geologist has recently

mthusiastic over the prospects.
One of the new copper properties
taken over recently, according to in
formation reaching the geologist, is

tint tests have shown a oopper con
tent as high as 12 percent, while the
iverage in ores shipped from this

It is reported that ores running less

The Quartery Conference of the
Tanceyville Circuit, Methodist Epis
eopal Church, South, adopted a reso
lution condemning, in no uncertain
tenia, the stock exehange transac
tions of Bishop James Cannon, Jr.
The Tanceyville Cirduit probably
never before got into the front page.
There are two things that make this
news. Bishop Cannon has been in the
publie eye; that's one reason. Anoth
er is that it is so unusual in these
days for a quarterly conference to
take a preacher to task, much less to
have the temerity to criticize a bis
hop.
Dr. Pollard, in his speech of accept

state during the second month that

been on the job. Perhaps if the State's
policemen would pay more attention
to safeguarding the safety of the
people than to automobile license
tags and such things, the purpose for
which the Patrol was authorized
would be more nearly accomplished.
The intention of the General Assem
bly in establishing the patrol was to
make life and limb safe on the high
ways of this State, Either that in

abolished. We had expected to see
