Four mines have been taken ,vfr either to oi*n immediate oper as or for thorough prospecting flIh g view ot future development. Commenting on prospects that have from this attention directed to upper, State Geologist H. J. Bry ion Vi t ? It prospecting in mines taken over during" the last few weeks liquid show large ore bodies which last through many years, it genu that the logieal thing to do toald be to erect a popper ameltering 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! |2.50 to |3 per ton. I This ore is in the form of sulphide, horn as chalcopyrite, which also ear-' nw high sulphur content. The sul-{ phides ot iron *ueh as prohitie and' 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 rfurosd from Sylva where he fitcd copper developments. Ha d* dared that |>eople of the section are mthusiastic over the prospects. One of the new copper properties taken over recently, according to in formation reaching the geologist, is iboout twelve miles northeast of the producing Font ana mine and prob ibly on the same lead. A report says tint tests have shown a oopper con tent as high as 12 percent, while the iverage in ores shipped from this Mt is between 8 and 10 per cent. It is reported that ores running less ton 5 per cent are left in the mines. J>ttr the first of July, machinery is reported to have been moved into to Cullowhee Copper Mine, near ) va, after it had been leased to to North Carolina Flux company.: Ore will be shipped to Ducktown/ eDa'? lor smelting, says the report, "forth Carolina's return to notice M popper producing state occurred after the output had dwindl-| (o nothing the two previous years.) 19-6 the production of ore in the.

She and others I in a truck started to the meeting, but were stopped by the mob and ordered, to return, in violation of the constitutional right of the people to peacefully assemble. They obeyed the ( mob, and as they returned, a shot was fired into the truck, killing the young mother. Do we have to form mobs and unlawfully take life, in North Carolina, to prove that we are 100 per cent Americans! Ia Gastonia try ing to take the laurels from Eerrint Saturday took a toll of 14 lives in the United States and Canada in accidents in the air. One accident that cost four lives was a collision be tween two planes at Chicago. The con tention that air travel -is safe is being rapidly dissipated. Air .travel wont be safe until aviation reaches a more I advanced state. The members of the large fresh man class at the University of North Carolina arrived on the campus with less money tjjan in many years. The youngsters however, are said to have lots of pep and ambition. 1 ' Two young men, running an auto mobile without lights, and in otter disregard for the rights of other peo ple, plunged into a group of folks, re taining from church, near Henderson ville, Sunday night, injuring seven of the pedestrians, one of whom, a wo man, died, and all of whom are said to have been off the highway. It is conscious or unconscious disregard for the rights of others that causes most of the injuries and ills of humanity, jpiritual, physical, financial, politi - ? -*? ^21^. - v* v.y 'A Mr Ramsey McDonald, prime mini-! ster of England, is coming over to discuss naval disarmament with our president. Mr. McDonald will leave England on September 28. Some day we will learn that the way to disarm is to disarm. A cat, down in Kinston, gave birth to- two litters of kittens within a week '8 time. This is the speed age. i ? ? The Eastern North Carolina Cham ber of Commerce, bankers, farmers merchants, newspapers, are rr.oboliz ing their forces in an attempt to save Eastern North Carolina from the fi nancial distress that will inevitably eventuate from the low pricees that are offered for bright tobacco. How ever, they are practically at the mer cy of the four or five buyers of to-1 bacco. Whatever the masters wish to pay the farmers, they will pay. Whose prosperity is itf 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 anee of the Democratic nomination for governor of Virginia, at William tsd Jfary College, asked just why prohibition should be considered an issue in the Virginia State election. Other* of us have been wondering why this 'question that was settled in Virginia, North Carolina, and other Southern states, long prior to the 18th Amendment, should be injected into our other affairs. A one day strike, called by oommun 1st loaders in protest at the death of j Ella 'Kay Wiggins, failed to materal-, ise, and, so funis is known, none ot the Workers paid any attention to it. This probably means that North Car olina textile operatives , organised or unorganised, are not ready to join forces with the Reds.. C. D.

Crazy, like a fox! 59 people were killed and 657 in jured in North Carolina automobile tragedies, during August, the total of casualties climbing higher than in July or June. 19 people walking along t$e were killed and 8? 1 were injured. Eleven children were killed and 20 injured while playing in the streets. More than 600 and injured by" automobiles in our state during the second month that the new State Highway Patrol has 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 tent wil be accomplished or the peo ple will demand that the Patrol be abolished. We had expected to see the toll of killed and crippled dim inish ; but the contrary has happened so far.
