PROF. H. BUECK GOES TO CULLOWHEE The Smithfield Herald. Selma, July lO_Prof. Hierony ! mous Bueck, teacher of history in the Selma high school, was recently honored with an appointment to prin cipalship of Cullowhee graded school, Cullowhee. This school is used as a practice school for students of j Western Carolina Teachers college at I Cullowhee. j Mr. Bueck has been here seven years, and aside from his class room ! work has coached competetive ath letics for several years, stressing j clean sportsmanship. Last year he ! introduced an extra curricula pro gram, approved by H. F. Miller, president of the North Carolina Ath letic association. This program pro vided one hour each day for intra mural athletics, club work, music and chapel programs, one-fourth credit being allowed tor this work. The resignation of Mr. Bueck means a double loss to the Selma school and community, as Mrs. Bu-1 eck automatically resigns. She came' here eight ycass ago as head of the .dome-die science department and un dee her capable supervision, one of the best equipped lunch rooms in this section is in operation during the entire school year. She has qual ities of leadership possessed by few. A rare combination is found in Mrs. Bueck whose high ideals and eight years of service are woven in the' annals of Selma high school and the i community at large. Her work in t dramatics in the school and town has met with the warm approval a/id distinctive praise which was so richly merited. In civic, social and educational circles this couple will { be sorely mis.icd and while scores of friends and interested patrons are reluctant to give them up, they re joire with them in this splendid pro motion. They will move to Cullowhee HTIout August 1. MILLION DOLLAR RAIN COMES The drought, which threatened to ruin crops throughout Western North Carolina, and which had already cut short many crops and injured pas tures, was definitely broken when a Million Dollar Jiii^n begtm falliug early Sunday morning. People of Jackson countv were awakened shortly after daylight by the welcome rumbling of thunder in the west, and in a short time the j rain came. It was followed by more rain on Monday, and early Tuesday morning a heavy shower fell, follow ed by a slow drizzle most of the day. soaking the dry earth, reviving veg etation, and bringing out the grass again in the pastures. The hot s|>ell also is apparently definitely broken. Saturday, which was the warmest day Sylva has seen in recent years, showed a high mark for the temperature of 92 in the shade during the afternoon. CONCRETE POURING NEARS' COMPLETION The FrankRrf Press? Pouring of concrete on the eight miles of Highway No. 28 between Franklin and Gneiss is scheduled to be completed by Thursday or Friday of this week. The highway will be opened to traffic within two weeks 'after the laving of concrete has been completed, it is stated. Already more than half of the dis tance is being used for travel, the stretch of completed hijghway !#> tw&n C. T. Bryson's store at Cul lasaja and the Gneiss post office hav ing been opened. Work is scheduled to start aarly in August on hardsurfacing the 13 .miles on No. 28 between Gneiss and Highlands. This surface is to bo of asphalt; tar mixed, and ^he should ers of the highway over this distance will be of concrete.

VMrM in HOSPITAL The Candler-Nichols Hospital will become a community hospital known as the C. J. Harris Community Hos pital, Inc., on August First, accord ing to information, given out here yesterday. The articles oi' incorporation have been completed, the deeds and trans t'er papers from Dr. C. Z. Cttadler and Dr. A. A. Nichols to the new corporation are being drawn, and the property will be received, and a superintendent elected at a meeting to be held on August first, when the trustees of the hospital will meet with a representation of the Duke Foundation. The establishing of the community hospital has been made possible through the generosity of Mr. Chas. j J. Harris, Dr. C. Z. Candler, and Dr. A. A. Nichols, together with a $30,000.00 donation from the Duke Foundation. The county will have nothing to do with the new oorganization, and it will he a strictly community or* ganization. It is expected that it will be self-sustaining, as all patients who are financially ahle to pay for hos pitalization are exacted to do so, and the Duke Foundation will pay $1.00 per day per patient for all charity and part charity patients. It is understood that the plan un der which the Duke Foundation is, donating $30,000 on the purchase! price and $1.00 per day for each charity patient, is entirely different j from that which was advanced some time ago for the establishing of a county hospital. It is generally be-; lieved that the new plan of the coin-j nmnitv hospital, made possible? through tlie generosity of Mr. Harris and the Duke Foundation; is a long, step toward proper hospital faeih- > ties in this county, and it is thought "that the people of this community are fortunate in securing the aid of the Duke Foundation in providing, hospitalization for charity patients. The hoard of trnstces is composed of R. W. Ehloe, chairman, .lohn B. Enslcy, vice-chairman, E. 1*. McKee,! treasurer, .1. M. Worley, T. A. Cox,; T. A. Dillard, W. H. Smith, M. ?..j Cowan, D. G. Brysou, W. C. (./?fen, and T. IT. Powell, with Dan K. Moore as secretary. At the organization meeting on August First, a superintendent of j the hosnitnl, and a hospital staff will be elected. There are no s?Jaries connedcd with the ho'r(?*a? except for the office of superintendent. Fine prospects for a good corn cropo are reprted from all parts of Northeastern Carolina by county farm agents. In some counties the acreage lias been increased by 40 percent this season. I I THE WEEK By DAN TOMPKINS) The Federal Farm Board "has ar rived at ihe conclusion that lower, ^heat should mean lower flour and j lower bread. Every house wife ar-: rived at that conclusion weeks ago. Wheat is selling at the lowest j price reached in 17 years. Cotton is; a little above 12c a pound. Tariff i rates are the highest known in the' entire history ot the county. Thus does that mighty cure-all relieve the farmer. i . ' Z (?-r? Mrs. Arthur Conan Doyle is sat isfied that a message purporting' to be from her husband and deliver ? ed through a spiritualist medium is {genuine.^ Personally, I would be less skeptical about it if Sir Arthur had; delivered it direct to his widow. | Buncombe county is to have three j members of the general assembly i hereafter. Guilford and Mecklenburg are to have four each. II this comes by reason of the new census. .Tack-i son will trv to worrv along with our; one. North Carolina now has a popula tion of 3, 1 (>5,140. Maybe if the high way patrol system will do more ef ficient work, we can at least hold our own against the reckless drivers, for the next ten vears. #Tbe hosts of Republicanism march ed up the hill to Washington, to get, the scalp of the National Chairman, Claudius Huston, tamed for his lob ^by interests. But the army marched j away again, and the scalp still re mains, moce., or les _serurelyL..upon the head of Mr. Huston. , Mrs. Ruth Hannah Mr-Cormick places the blame for high election expenses upon the patronage ma chine. Folks do like to blame their! short-comings on something or some body else. The lady from Illinois might also recall that it was her father, Mark Ilanna, who had a great deal to do with making huge campaign chests popular in this country. A great pother is being made, pro and con, over segregating the Negro gold star mothers, who have joined the pilgrimage to France, as guests of the government. The war- depart ment has found the plan advisable. Seems as though we would have learned, by loug experience, that se gregation in every way possible, is best for both races, and that the more the segregation the better the races ' CHEVROLET CONTEST ATTRACTS INTEREST 283 entries and 169 . contestants were drawn by the Jackson Chevrolet Company in the Chevorlet Mileage Performance Contest( held last week. The first prize of $20.00 in gold was awarded to Bill Jordan, who made 4.1 miles on a pint of gasoline, or an average of 32.8 miles to a gal lon. Roy Painter was second, with 4 miles on a pint, or 32 miles to a gal lon, and received $10.00 in gold. F. F. Bailey, as third highest, re ceived $5.00 in gold. He made 3.9 miles on a pint, or 31.2 on a gallon. Other high marks were: Jack Hall, 3.8 miles; H L. Phil lips, 3.7 miles; Grady Moore, 3.(5 miles; W. H. Greenarch, 3.5 miles; Frank Friclq*, 3.4 miles; W. G. Wom ack, 3.4 miles. The average made by the 109 con testants was 22.75 miles to the gal lon. Six contestants averaged between 28 and 32 miles, and 40 were between 24 and 28 miles. P. T. A. TO PRESENT PLAY The Parent-Teacher Association will present the musical comedy "Here Comes Arabella" on Tuesday evening, July 23 at 8 o'clock, at the high school auditorium. The play is under direction of Miss Ruby Russell of Sewell Company of Atlanta. The east of characters is: Bob Adair, Marshal Hampton; Syd ney Hapwell, Dan Moore; Jack, Felix Potts; Bill, Louis Eckstein; Imogene, Hicks Wilson; Henrietta, Louise Stein; Crystnbell, Caroline Rhodes; Aunt Prudence, Mrs. Chapman; Aunt Tabhv, Mrs. Freeze; Joshua Toppin eraft, Mr. Simons; Mrs. Lurk ins, Mrs Kincaid; Mrs. Meeks, Mrs. Parris; Mrs. Waddles, Mrs. Miller; Levinski, Bill Moody; Arabella, Mary Candler. It is expected that the play will be far above the average production of this kind, and a large audience is anticipated, as it is being presented by the Parent-Teacher Association of Sylva, which is an unusually active organization, that stands high in pub" lie favor. It is said that the receipts will be used for making certain permanent improvements on the school property. | dwell together in unity. The Methodist (Northern) Board i of Temperance, prohibition and pub lic morals, upon the nomination of Mr. Dwight W. Morrow for senator, from New Jersey on the Republican ticket, has tak,en time by the fore lock, and started a campaign to head off his nomination for the presi dency, stating that such a nominar tion by the Republicans would be a trasie mistake, and would result in his overwhelming defeat.
