There are uln:ost no outward signs visible in Washington of the Piiwi duiitiul campaign activities. True, the Republican National Committee is Kl ill fwiipying o*?W of the of t'iees mi its pewnan nt1 heu<l'|iuirterR on Connect lent Avenue, mid a grcut deal of mai', mainly publicity i ut ter for ucwspujtt'rs, in going out IVoin thnt address, hut that goes on all the time, Likewise, the Democratic Press Bureau in Washington continues to function. But there is probably less public excitement over the campaign and its issues in the capital city than there is in any other part of the United States just now. In the beginning of tin? campaign it was said that President llooover would iiMika five or six speeches. The tulk now is that he will not make more than two or three public ap pearances before election. Mr, Hoover is not an orator. He has none of the dramatic ability of President Roose velt, who could stir up a crowd to wildly cheering enthusiasm. He has no Mich mastery of language as Wood row Wilson had. lie writes al' of his speeches, revises nud reshapes them and then has them printed in large type on small sheets of paper so that lie can road them. His ad dresses always read well in priu t. but there are many other numbers of the Administration who are far more effective on the platform. Mr. Hoover kii'ows this and is willing to let the speech-iuakiug in his be Ivilf be done iiainly by members in his C'abinei. . Mill* and Hurley Con&idcfably to tlu* ?wirprise of a groat muny people, tin* Fi'c rotary of the Treasury, Mr. Officii Mills, hAH bwoiuo quite an effective }>ul>! i<r Hpefcl*i\ . Mr, Mills kept himself ho much iit the background when ho wan- Undersecretary of the Treasury tWt, when he was elevated to the Cabinet to succeed Mr. Mellon, ever thi' Washington newspaper corres l> indents hardly knew much about his personality. Tim impression pre vailed that he was rather cold and hard-boiled, mid that he would never stir a popular audience to enthusiasm In the few speeches that he has made during the campaign, he has devel oped an unexpected gift, and has demonstrated, moreover, that he has what is called "a good radio voice." There are a gnvii many public speak ers who make a good impression up on those who Can see tlieni while they are talking lint whose voices do not carry well in broadcasts. The other principal speech-maker for the Admi'iistratiou is the Secre tary of War, Patrick Hurley. Mr.i Hurley has a genuine gift of elo (fiience and has been well trained in oratory. There is a ^>oo<l deal of doubt, being expressed this year, how ever, as to the effectiveness of irer" oratory in this campaign. There is certainly much less reliance being placed upon eloquence than has beer thi' case In previous Presidential contests. . ? Rooseve't and New York Reports vc aching Washington Prom a**| pa jts of the country 'indicate that Governor lioosevelt'.s handling of the investigation of James J. Walker's conduct as Mayor of New York has strengthened Mr. Roose velt immensely in the estimation of thi? general run of voters. Walker's resignation, before the Oovernor was called 11 1 ion to make a decision, is regarded as a lucky break for the Oovernor. And the, fear expressed by Deii'ocratifpditicians that the re moval of Wa lter would alienate Tammn.'iv has ben largely dispelled by the growing belief that the voters of New Yrrk City are not so closely held under Tammany's thumb as has fit-en believed. The conduct oP th rew Mayor of New York, Joseph V McKee, is hailed as a showing up of Walker, whi'e his defiance 'of Tain ?many lead, to the belief that it is .not at all certain that political N(\ York would accept anil order fror Tammany ITall to^'Kinfe Roosevelt.' Hon. T. S. Oaulden and Mrs. Gnu den baby and nurse, have returned to their home in Palm Beach, aft* spending the summer in their cottag | in Ballough Hills. ? E. L. M'KEE TO REBUILD FAMOUS HIGH HAMPTON INN The High Hampton estate in Cash ier'* V alley has been purchased by E. L. McKee, from the' other stock holders; fl?J construct ion of' a new inn to r< place the famous hostelry that was destroyed liy fire on May ft, will begin on October 15, Mr, Mc Kee Iioh announced. Mr. Me Kee bought the interests of H. VV. I Mummer, C. K. WaddeM, Sr., 0. B. Waddell Jr., Gilbert C. White, and W. I'\ Lewis, in the 2,.'lf>0 acre estate, that was once the summer home of the Hamptons. The High Hampton Inn corporation has been recently reorganized with an authorized capita) stock of #ft,000 000, with $100,000 paid in. The offic erK of the corporation are: E. L. Mc Kee, president; H. L McKee, vice( president; and Mrs, E. L. MiKw, sec retury and treasurer. The new inn, to be erected at a cost of around $30,000, will be two stories and will' contain 30 bed rooms, a hrge lobby and dining room. It will be erected on the site ofi the o'd Kit Hampton cottage, and the architect ure and construction, as well ns the materials, will carry out the rustic effect, A niumher of cottages will be built near the inn, carrying out the mil nor form. It in planned to have the inn ready for opening on May 5. BUILDING HUGE FILTER The Sylva Paperboard Company n constructing a huge settling basin, or filtering plant on its property, at a cost, it is said, of $1.1,000. The work is well under way, the excavating having been completed, ami the con crete base Hearing completion. The purpose of this addition to the &tperhonrd Company's plant is to &H>yire an ample "supply of elmr water, from Scott's Creek, at all times, even during the rainiest of weather, which is a necessity for the continuous operation of the mill. Hitherto the sudden rains, bring ing down mud from the hills, hu\'c been the cause of temporary suspen sion of operations in certain depart ments of the mill. The new filter will eliminate these ineouveniencies and annoyances. GAY The farmers of this section are nbout done "foddering''. The Gay school is ?till progressing nicely. The entire community, as well JIM the school was very blue over the illness of Miss Kn nwi Tathani/ the assistant teacher, whft was carried to the Community Hospital in Sylva, be cause of a bone infection. But, wo are glad to hear that she is doing as wejl as could be expected, and will prob ably be brought home before many days. Miss ({liodn Cope, of Sylva, is fill ing Miss Tathain's vacancy ?s as sistant teacher in the school. The pu pils are well pleased with her. Mr. Pruitt, the principal, has hod a basket ball court made, and the pu pils are showing much interest in the game. Miss ('ope will be the coach. Both teachers are pleased with the attendance record. There have been on'y a ,fe\v' absences through the "foddering season". A ludjr from the State P. T. A. is scheduled to spcalt to the P. T. A. of Savannah Thursday. A large at tendance is expected. The other associations of Savan nah besides Gay are Vipw Point] and Greens Creek. We are glad to see that a state dentist is in our county and we hope he will not neglect to visit our school for we feel sure there is great need of his help here, i The Cabe reunion was held at the home of the late Amos Cabe, on Sept. 18. A large number was present, be ing 110. It is hoped by next year to raise the number to 200. The Cabe and Barron singing class jave a number of well selected songs.
