EVERY INDIVIDUAL
IS AFFECTED BY
RECOVERY ACT
Washington. ? Tim recovery pro
gram radiates into ovciy home anil
sore, factory and mine, and forest,
and literally into every field where
for the next two years production
was planned. This week it reached out
to cover every ship that flies the
Stars and Stripes with the subiuis- 1
sion of a code by the American steam- j
[ship iines. As the President told his1
neighbors at his New York farm, I
"Hieovuy cannot be applied to one I
industry or one section. The Nation
al (iovcrnnunt must think and act
in national terms/'
Delays in starting work immediate
ly on .numerous iocal public works
projects throughout the countvy have
been due to failuro of regional gov
ernin nts to comply promptly with
the provisions of the Federal law,
for which many sessions of State leg
islatures were called. Projeets for the
Federal Government alone are going
forward very rapidly, resulting in
tens of thousands being put to work
daily, and scores of approved region
al jobs, for which there is available
instanl!y (lie Federal Government's
advance of 30 per cent (o cover cost
of materials, are being started as
local action is taken. Allotments of
funds to speed up the movement and
create jobs are being made at the
rale of more than $50,000,000 per
nay.

niul hundreds of villages in ull parts
of the country signed up 100 per

seel ions of Niw Yo?'k, New England,
Town, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, Col
orado, Missouri, and Georgia, every
family in entire city hloeks signed.
In HO small towns tho people went
to central points and qualified for
the Blue Eagle without waiting for
the canvassers to visit them.
Returning by plane from a call by
?lie President at Hyde Park, Jesse
Jones, chairman of the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation, began con
ferences immediately to set up a
medium for granting prompt tempo
tary credit for deserving firms which
have committed themselves to the re
oniployiiMMit program. The purpose is
to tide them over until their sales
prices can take care of increased ex

Following the success of the initial
cotton reduction campaign, plans arc
being rushed to reduce the existing
oversnpplv of that and other crops
to obtain a, proper balance between
product-oil and consumption and re

Hurricanes sweep across the West
Indies, Florida and Texas, leaving a
(rail of desolation in their wake;
I *
hundreds die by earthquake in China;
famine, pestilence, drought, floods,
occur and rccur. Man is continually
battling with the elements to save
himself nud his race, to preserve the
fruiU of his labor for himself and
family; but, after all,, the greatest
enemy that man ha.s is man's own
folly. If we would but adopt the code
of ethics as laid down by the Man
of Nazareth, and put it into actual
practice, man would find the most of
the troubles that beset him would
vanish as the mists before the rising
Run.

Vermont voted Tuesday ami joined
the repeal parade. Every State that
has, voted has voted for repeal, and
none against. The country seems hell
bent on repeal; but we might begin
asking ourselves the question : "After
iep?nl, what?" Will it be any easier
for the common man to make a liv
ing for himself and family? Will
people live togctser in sweeter har
mony? Will life be safer; liberty
dearer; and real happiness easier to
pursue? Will man bo fairer to h?s
fellow man? Will the rond through
life be made smoother for women
and little children?
Governor Ghringhaus declared a
marketing holiday in the North Car
olina bright tobacco belt. The Gov
ernor of South Carolina followed with
a similar proclamation ; and Vir
ginia followed suit, closing the ware
houses in the greatest tobacco mar
kets of the world, until something
can be done to get better prices for
the farmers. A conference in Wash
ington was called, and a plan for a
processing tax of 4c for growers who
will agree to curtail production, sim
ilar to the wheat and cotton taxes was
prompted.

An extremely heavy rain fell in
the Fisher Creek section of this

W. D. Warren, director of the NRA

HAMBURG CABBAGE MOVING
The Hamburg cabbugc crop is be
ginning to move to market and Coun
ty Agent Lackey is authority for the
statement that prices are ranging
from $1.00 to $1.25 a hundred.
The big money crop of some of the
Southern townships of the county,
cabbage, has held up well all through
the depression. Twenty tons and more
have been raised on an acre of
ground, which would mean that, at
$1.25 a hundred pounds, it is possible
for a grower to receive around $500
an acre for his crop.
Hambung cabbage, than which there
are no better grown anywhere, are
always in demand in the markets, and
dealers send trucks from many Sou
thern cities into the region, each
year, seeking the crop to place on
the market.
We defy any section, to show a
better return from the soil than is
received by the Hamburg cabbage
growers.
It is predicted that the trucking
industry in Hamburg, and Mountain
townships, which can easily be dup
licated in Canada, parts of Cancy
Fork, and some other townships in
this county, is just in its infancy,
and can be developed to proportions
that have not been dreamed of as yet.
After all is said and done, the
soil of Jackson county, coupled with
its climate, constitutes our greatest
resource, and the sooner we reach
that conclusion, "and more of us fol
low the example of Hamburg and be
gin to seriously develop the resources
we have at hand, the better off all
of us will be.

NBA TO TAKE PLACE OF
HIT-OB-MISS SYSTEM
Los Angeles. ? At a mammoth mass
meeting and luncheon of business
men, the head of the State board
tersely explained the working of the
entire NRA system and added: "In
stead of being an idealistic or altru
istic schemc, the NRA program is one
of the most hard-boiled pieces of leg
islation ever enacted.
Its real object is not only to relieve
suffering and lift up the heads and
hopes of millions of unemployed but
it is a planned organization of bus
iness that will definitely replace the
present hit-or-miss system."
Thomas Rapor Lambert ( 50, a
member of the Cherokee Indian tribe,
was instantly killed about 11 o'clock
Tuesday morning when powder ex
ploded at Poplar Springs on the
Indian reservation a short distance
from the boundary line of the Great
Smoky Mountains National park.
Lambert, a eoutracter, was engaged
in the construction of a filling sta
tion on State Highway No. 107 for
his brother, Hugh Lambert, when the
accident occurred. He poured from
a sack a hall bushel of powder in
a hole preparatory to blasting away
?some rock. Some of the powder fell
on the ground outside of the hole
and when Lambert applied a match
to the fuse the powder on the oat
side ignited and the explosion oc
curred befoie he could escape.
Lambert was blown into a syca
more tree across the Ocona Luftei
river, fully 75 feet away. He then
fell from the tree to the ground, land
ing near the edge of the river. A
large hole was blown in his side.
The body was taken to the Cher
okee4hospital, and later to the home
in Big Cove. Sheriff J. H. Seay, of
Swain county, and Dr. P. R. Bennett,
Swain county coroner, investigated
and pronounced death to have been
due to an cecident.
Lambert is survived by his widow,
three sons and a daughter. The fun
eral service was held yesterday af
ternoon at the home.
