HERBERT HOOVER

TODAY an 1
TOMORROW
(Hy Frank Parker fStockbridgc)
. \ /
Sons ^ ,
A great man's son usually has a
hard time to gain recognition. ,011 his
own merits. What made me think o'
that is the appearance in the news
"Jimmy" Garfield is to he chair
man of the Resolutions Committee at
the Republican National Convention
Richard Cleveland will make the
nominating' speech in the Democratic
National Convention for Governor
Ritchie of Maryland. And Archie
Roosevelt is leading the light to limit
Government aid to veterans t:> those
who actually suffered disability in
the service. Arc'nie has a right to
take that portion, as he is^hiiusel 1
a war casualty.
Abraham Lincoln** soil, Robert, was
president of the Pullman ( -m pany
ami a successful business man. (?eu
eral Gn\ntV? son Frederick had him
self a distinguished military record.
Mr Tail's soil "( 'ha rlei is a succcssf''1
ami distinguished lawyvr. And
"Young Teddy' Roosevelt, as Gov
ernor General of the Phillipincs, i:
making a p"tation -on his own.
All of these, and o'her famous
men's sous, lnd a hard time over
'on inpf the idea that th**v were trad
ing on their father's reputations.
Television
Several hundred p 'at in ;
London theater and saw the fshuous
Derby race reflect d on a screen as
it. was run, on .Tune 1. The figures |
were not much mnr? than s'lltouottes, ?
but it was actual television.
P.0 far nobody can say positively 1
when television in anything like a j
perfected form will be available to j
everybody with a radio set. Perhaps;
never. Many engineers think the cost |
will always N' too high for the pri
vate home, but they admit it may l>c-|
?on*e possible to throw clear-cut !
imasfes, as clear as the average mo
tion picture, 011 a scrcen in a theater
while a football game or a horse race
or what not is actually going 011.
A lot of bright young men are
working on television, trying to dis
cover new means of accomplishing
it. Some of then: will surely hit it, ;
in time.
Colds i
Colds are caused by germs. If
Mi ere was any doubts of that, the
proof seems to b" at hand. A medi
cal commission which has been studv
I in?r eo'ds has fot-nd several places
where nobody ever has a cold unless
some outside visitor brit'fis it in.
One .'if those places is the island of

The Republican national con veil
tion, meeting in Chicago, today re
nominated Herbert Hoover for pres
ident and Charles Curtis for vice
president.
, The nominatiAn, ^.Hopjer*^ syc^
ceed himself has been taken as a fore
I i
gone conclusion; but, within, the past
week considerable sentiment was
worked up to replace Curtis with
another maip. Charles G. Dawes would
probably have been given the honor,
had he chosen to accept it. There was
some talk also of drafting Calvin
Coolidge; but both j men eliminated
themselves from the possibility by
stating flatly that they would not
...
accept the; nomination if it were
tendered.

be held by the Woodmen of the

FORTY YEARS AGO
Tuckaseige Democrat, June 8, 1892
We are sorry to hear of the illness
of Prof. Madison.
Miss Hattic Monday, of Dillsboro,
was married last Sunday, to Mr. Lee
Allison of Old Fort, Esquire J. C.
officiating. - .a.-.'-?
Mesdames F. Merrick and W. A.
Knloe, of. Dillsboro, favored our of
fice with a pleasant call yesterday.
Misses Gallic and Mary Love, who
have been- attending Asheville Female
College during the past session,
reached home today to spend the
vacation.
The recovery of Mr. L. C. Hall has
not been so rapid as his friends hoped
for, his condition being quite unfa
vorable. He was somewhat better this
morning
Having accepted a position as
travelling salesman for the well
known ^nd reliable wholesale firm
r?I* S. Wittskowsky, Charlotte, John
M. Long reached home today, and
will proceed at once to wait upon the
merchants within his territory which
embraces all of Western North Caro
lina west of the Blue Ridge.
Yesterday evening a very ordinary
looking cloud was seen gathering in
the northwest and slowly moving in
an easterly direction, the main body
of. the eloud passing north of our
town and when it had reached a
point over the top of the mountain
above the cove in which the residence
of Mr. A. B. Dills is situated, it
proceeded to discharge the bulk of
its contents in a very small space.
The little branch which has its source
in the cove was soon swelled to the
proportions of a river, and it swept
down the valley with a resistless
force, tearing up trees and bearing
down lartje rocks and logs. The water
reached the floor of Mr. -Dills* dwell
ing, carried off his smoke house,
tore away fences, destroyed crops and
gardens and washed away the bridge
on the road near Mr. H. P. Brendle's.
In the effort to save some of hi?
property ,Mr. Dills was taken from
his feet by the force of the torrent,
and carried down' stream, finally
pulling himself out of the current by
means of limbs and saplings. Th
roar of the water as it passed ove*
the Bunvrarner falls was terrific
and as it dashed into muddy spray
from the height of the falls, present
ed the appearance of a cloud of dust.
The loss of fencing, etc., and the
damage to gardens and field crops
growing near the branch is consider
able.

SEVERAL MEASURES WHAIMmL.
BE PASSED UPON Ig JlMI
Washiugtc
of the talH^^^^HHJEent over
the proposal 'qjHHSbieral funds
to. the states fgjPISiUa jwductive or
self-repaying public works, the in
telligent leaders of- both parties here
do not expect very much to come out
ofi it. One reason
tration wan rclue
that policy was
inite information
HtatcH don t want to borrow money for
such purposes. It was just one of
those things done in a Presidential
year for political effect, like a great
many of the rest of the things done
by this Congress.
A lot of. the things that special
interests were demanding of Congress,
some of which might have got through
if it had not been for the politcal
conventions breaking up the session,
will come up again when Congress
meets next winter. Some of them will
die in the meantime, but there are
some proposals which will make head
way and probably become law before
this time next year. One of these is
the general manufacturers' sales tax.
It is the belief not only of its friends,
but its opponents, that the public haa
heard so much and shown so much
approval of- his proposal that it is
certain to be put into the laws next
winter. A good many of the taxes in
the revenue bill that just got through
are limited to terms of one or two
years.
There is little likelihood, those
closest in touch with such things say,
of any kind of an additional bonus
or other cash payment to veterans
of the World War getting through.
The indications are the other way.
It is being brought sharply home to
Congressmen and Senators that the
demand for larger pensions and put
ting every man who was drafted or
volunteered on the Federal payroll is
limited to a noisy minority of the
veterans. The conservative element
among them, headed by Archie Roose
velt, and his National Economy
League, is demanding that so-called
veterans relief should be cut down
rather than increased. x
