Hr&H HAMPTON HOST TO GOVERNOR MANNING overnor of South Carolina, and Mrs. Manning are spending several days vacation in Jackson county, as guests at High Hampton Inn. THE WEEK (By DAN TOMPKINS) Tom Bost, reporting in the Greens ! ^ro Daily News, tells a tale of good times in the Sandhills, where 1,500 freighters are hauling out the peach crop, for which the growers are re ceiving from $2.00 to $3.00 a bushel, to say nothing of the seconds that jare moviug out in trucks, and the j culls that are being made into bran | dy. Time was when Moore, Mont gomery and Lee, the Sandhill coun I ties, were about the poorest section ? of North Carolina. Then the folks ! woke up and got busy, dewberries, watermelons, onions and peaches are grown in the summer, and the winter j ; crop of Yankee tourists brings in a i tidy income during that season. Pine hurst is one of the most famous wiu , ter resorts for the wealthy , and Southern Pines and other resorts draw many from the North. All that; is needed for people or any section, is to make a careful survey, find out just what the advantages and oppor I tunities, get out of the rut, and down; ^to business of making the most ofj ' the things with which they are en- j dowed. The Sandhill country proves! that fact. i ! Ma Ferguson led the field in the i Texas gubernatorial primary. The. most interesting event in the entire, primary was the fact that Thomas B. J Love, who led the Lone Star State revolt against A1 Smith, received only about 66,000 votes out ol the: 600,000 cast. Thus does Texas add to Virginia and North Carolina the determination not to allow the dev- j age of 1928 to become permanent ; Senator Morris Sheppard, dry as a bone, and author of the 18th Amend- , ment, was nominated over two op- j ponents. It is foolish to talk about j a break up of the solid South, either from the standpoint of being Demo cratic, or of being politicly dry. News dispatches state that the' Democrats pian to capture the knre^l House of Congress and perhaps the) Senate. They anticipate the return j to Democracy of the 30 seats lost in the 1928 election, and an addition-' al 24, to give a majority. Not only is possible, but probable. Off year elec tions are always favorable to the. Democrats, and almost every tariff j act that has raised the rates has re-1 suited in disaster to the Republicans! in the following election. If prece dent is followed, the Democrats have good grounds for their hopes. The Gfrandy Tariff places rates at the highest ever known, and instead of relieving the economic situation, have! resulted in tariff reprisals from other ! countries, and consequent large fall-'' ing off of our export trade. J. Ross Aiken, superintendent of Glacier National Park,v Montana, will be moved east and placed in charge or' the Great Smoky Mountains Na- j tional Park, early in the winter.; Thus it appears that the United States Government intends to take' seriously the great park of the"T5ast. J Call money is as low as 1 per cent! in New York; but what is that worth to the ordinary business man, when he can't borrow it at any interest ratet It is entirely p?ssible, and indica tions are that the passage of the Grundy tariff is being taken as tanta mount to a declaration of economic war, that reprisals may be expected i from other nations, and that a real conflict, disastrous to America and the rest of the world, may be init-1 ' iated, with far-reaching effeet upon { the prosperity of people everywhere. Some day the country that we love to refer to as "Christian America," will wake up to the economic, as well as religious and ethical truth of the pronouncement of the Nazarene, "No man liveth unto himself alone." We are all placed in one small world, and anything that affects one partej will of necessity be felt everywhere. ! In America we have a most striking I I present example of that. For many years now, ever since the inaugura tion of the Harding regeme, and the return to Normalcy, the agricultural interests of this country have been suffering, while industry was appar-J enily prosperin. Nothing was done to remedy the situation, and the f bucolic distress finally dragged al| America into the present slough of business despond. HEAT, DROUGHT STILL HOLD ON The hottest and longest continued i weather that has ever visited West ern North Carolina within the re 1 collection of the oldest people, gtill holds on, and most parts of Jackson j county are still badly in need of i rain.. Day alter day the teuiperatufg in i Sylva has reached up into the nine ties, though perhaps a correct read ing, taken as official temperatures I are taken by the United States weath I er bureau would not have shown ' above 92. But that is hot, and very hot, tor Sylva. Natives of this sec tion unaccustomed to warm weatker have been feeling the heat more than people from the lowlands. In Csah iers Valley, Hamburg, Mountain, up-l per Scott's Creek, upper Caney Pork, I Caanada, and other higher altitudes' in the county, the heat has not been: so intense, and Sylva people have! been frequent visitors to the Moun tain townships, during the days that hot weather has reigned. Throughout lowland South, Weak, Middle West and East, America haa been sweltering, with official read ing reaching from 108 in little Rock to 112 in some rf the Missouri towns. Chickens have died in oonsiderallt numbers, especially in Maryland where the poultry industry is of im portance. Chickens have no perspir ation pores, and wheu the tempera-, ture of the air passes that of 105,, which is the temperature of a chick en, the fowls frequently succomb to the heat. No deaths of fowls save! been reported in the mountain coun- j try. | On Tuesday uight, a storm of con- j siderable intensity passed over a: corner of Jackson county, wind blow- j ing down trees in it? path across. Rich Mountain. 4-H MEMBERS GO TO CAMP 81 4-TT Club boys and girls ofotored to Swannanoa Tuesday morning, July i 22, to spend a few days at their camp near the State Test Farm. 9 loeal leaders and the county agent accompanied them to the camp and suj>ervised them from the time they left their local meeting place until they returned Friday afternooon.

The program proved very effect ive and few difficulties were encoun tered. On Wednesday, J. L. Roberson took the larger boys of the two conn ties to the Test Farm where he, Dr. Grinells and Mr. Ferguson gave them a good lesson in judging dairy cattle. While the larger boys were learning judging, E. V. Vestal took the smaller .boys for a hike and dis cussed Grasses and Clovers with them. Miss Reagan took the girls for a similar hike. Thursday morning every one in camp went to the State Test Farm where Dr. Clap and his assistants carried the campers over the farm and explained how the crops, orchard, garden, cattle, and poultry are handled.

The plot of the play revolves around the schemes of an ambitious mother to marry off her old maid daughter. The psychologist she calls in to aid her in her plans apparently gets bcr| in a hopeless tangle; however, ev erything works out to the satisfac tion of everyone concerned as '' Miss Blue Bonnett" laughs, cries, sings and dan?>s through three acts of hilarious comedy.

RUNNING 10 The water supply of the Town Sylva is beginning to ran low, an* complaints are coming in to city of ficial8 from residents on the highe elevations in town that they practically out of water each noon. The city officials are running new paper advertisements requesting tha all the people who use water the city mains be as careful as sible in conserving it. They ask all outlets be carefully checked the owners of the property to se that there are no leaks, that all un necessary use of water be diaeorij tinued, that no gardens nor lawn; ; be watered with the city water, an* that washing' automobiles be diseon tinued. It is believed that i& these re -v quests are followed out, there wil' be sufficient water in Fisher eree to care for -the town until th drought is broken.
