LOANS NOW AVAILABLE
FOR FARMERS OF COUNTY
Farmers of this county will l>o in
terested in tlu* statement just re
<vivo<l by Carl Fisher, secretary-treas
urer of the Svlva National Farm
Loan Association, from Henry S.
Johnson, Agent of the Farm Loan
Commissioner, stationed in the Fed
eral I /and Bank ot Columbia, telling
lir.w* it is e> pec ted there will be a
very substantial scale-down in the
debts of many borrowers because the
farmer getting a loan will be able
to offer cash for settlement of debts
which he might not otherwise be able
to pay.
Comissioner's )oa.ns are being made
to reduce and refinance fanner s
debts on a louder term basis, to sup
ply working capital and to refinance
foreclosed farms. The collateral ac
cepted is first or second mortgages
upon all or any part of the farm
property, real or personal, including
crops. Of course, before the Commis
sioner makes a second mortgage loan
he will ask the holder of the first
mortgage to waive foreclosure rights
in accordance with the Commission
er's regulations. ,
Loans are limited to a maximum
of $5,000 each. These loans plus all
prior mortgages or other evidences
of indebtedness secured by the farm
property may not exceed 75 per cent
of the appraised value thereof.
During the first three years the
loans are in effect, borrowers ^vill
net be required to make payemnt.
011 the principal if they are not
otherwise in default with respect to
the conditions or covenants of their
mortgages. The loan must be repaid
in such annual or semi-annual install
ments as will discharge the debt
within the agreed period.
The Commissioner's agent also
points out that these jyy j&Uateral
ized and not personal ToanS^vTTd tliht
the financial condition of the ap
plicant as well as his history must be
considered, including, of course, the
ability of the farmer to repay his
loan. The properties are appraised
by the Federal Land Hank appraiser
and he uses the same general values
in arriving at the value of the prop
ertv to be offered as collateral. Tin'
principal difference between the
Federal Laud Rank loan and the
Commissioner's loan is that he land
hank loan is made only on the iaim
pn.pci tv and can not exceed 50 per
,.0nt of the normal, appraised value
of the land plus 20 per cent of the
insured. permanent improvements
whereas -h ? Commissioner's Agent
mav' ''lend up to 75 per cent of the
normal value and accept second
mortgages a.nd personal property as
security.
The agent points cut that for the
convenience of the public the secre
tary-treasurer of the local national
farm loan association has been ap
pointed as correspondent and that
farmers should find, it convenient and
satisfactory to make their applica
tions to this correspondent rather
than applv directly to the agent sta
tioned in -the Federal Land Hank.
WILL HOLD PARRIS REUNION
There will he held a reuu'on of
the Parris general ions at or near the
Sampson Parris home on Sunday,

family are invited. All bring full
baskets and help to make this ;i not

The Jackson county hoy wont the
following North Carolina places in
the contest: First plaee Senior Wood
craft, first plaee i:i Senior M<tnl
eraft, first plaee in Senior Paint
craft, second place in Senior Trim
craft and honorable mention. The
beautiful little coach was returned to
Mr. Brown with five badges pinned
to it. The total amount of the priz< s
wen hv young1 brown is $90.
The miniature Napoleonic coaches
were practically built and, put to
gether by the contestants. Raw ma
terial was used in most cases. The
building t>f one of the coaches is a
very intricate and difficult task and
requires months of hard and tedious
1 labor.
Tlint Sylva will l?e, what it was
anticipated when the first plans for
the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park ww made, the nearest town
to the park, and the closest county
seat in the r?iteil States to a na
tional pari:, was assured, yesterday
when Pixsich-nt Roosevelt signed an
executive order allotting $1 o00,000
for the completion of the Smoky
Mountains National Park area, and
increasing the area to 400,000 acres.
This will make certain that the Plott
Balsam range will he included in
the Park, as originally planned, and
will put Sylva within a stone's throw
of the great park.
It is anticipated that it will take
two mill io.i dollars for the purchase
of the lands; hut the Rockefeller
Foundation is expected to advance
the necessary half million to turn the
trick.
The action of President Roosevelt,
with whom Congressman Weaver has
been in conference frequently during
the spring and early summer, will
assure the early completion of ob
taining title to the park lands, and
will move up the date of the opening
of the park to the public by several
years, it has been stated.
The Plott Balsam ranee, which it
is anticipated will be taken into the
park, is >epa rated from the present
park lands bv the property of the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians,
which property is at present admin
istered by the federal government.
Coming down Highway No. 10, at Bal
sam. the Park line will include the
entire range, and will take in the
great ?mountains (that tower over
Sylva and the valley in which the
town is located; and, will, as Horace
Kephart pointed out, include the
greatest mountain mass in Eastern
America, when the Balsams and the
Pint ki.es aiv linked up in the great
park.
STORES WILL CLbSE AT 7
The dry goods and grocery stores
of Sylva will close at 7 o'clock each
evening during week days, and at
10 o'clock on Saturdays, in accord
ance with a resolution adopted at a
meiting of the merchants held in the
Chamber of Commerce hall, last night.
