Golf Caddies Strike
For Higher Fees
(By JOHN PARKfS, .1R.)
There's j war on at the Svlva
Country Ciul> between the golfers r.nd
tin' caddies, all as a result of the
caddies striking fore higher fees.

down belo.v the century mark and
totwrs his ball out oi' the* rough when
the other guy isn't looking ? say thiy
want a raise in caddy fees or else
they don't caddy. So they don't
caddy.
| .It ail lu-fjan last Friday when fo; r
prominent men of Sylva ? Dr. *0. X.
Caudler, llu? Rtv. T. It. Wolfe, Moi>
roiv Madisou, and S. W. Enloe?
walked oat to tee t.tf for the fii>'
hole nnd started to-ongage their cad
dies. Boh Matins, who rules the caddy
kingdom of the Sylva Country Club,!
.?.p nks up a id . says that 4'?vc must j
have twenty-five cents a round or
else ? . '' The foursome feels that it is
Ise. They say they will pay what;
they have been paying ? twenty cents |
a round or thirty-five cents for IS
h;d r. But the hoys don't see it that
way i\?id so refuse to caddy.
/That was seven days ago and these
few who venture to play golf must
scare it caddy up in Sylva or do liis
?wn eaddying. A majority of them are
dring their own caddy ing.
"A year ago when times became
luird ami money was being p:nchcd,v
began Matliis.who is looked upon as
the brains of the eaddy yystem at the
country club, and incidentally, who is
obeyed in i very i--;)>e<t, "we were
told that il' we would red nee our
lees from fifty cents to thirty-five
for the 1H holes that in less than a
venr we won It1 lie raised haek i!j> to
our old prices.
"This, summer enme ami lohody
inentioiifd rasing our caddy fee so it
was h ft up lo us to say something
about it. We should have put up v
Mrk befcr^ fJVNv, "but Wr tKdn'f. Wr
thought that I hev won id tome acro.-r
as they had promised.
"There have born very few playim
!>olf this summer and of the fifteen
boys we only average about two
rounds a week, and that isn't enough
lo pay us for our time of stayiie.*
here all week. So we wanted a raiv
which we didn't gel. *'
"Do you expect lo catldy anv nvorc
this summer?*' Math's was asked.
*?1*11 say I tie i't. I know we won't
<ret the raise and so we are going to
hold oUt. 'V<* were not making mjosi^I)
for our trouble."
So the hills of the Sylva <\u"itry
Club no more are roamed in l lie a*
ternoons by ever watchful eaddi"*
who could keep score lo p?rfoe!rv:"
as far as i!ie golfer was concerned.
A lone | uiir of pollers out for an at
ternoon of exercise mop the swta'
from their brows, mumble something
which is evident from the look or.
their faces move their golf bags tt
a more eon? fort able position on their
''ouhb r. and slowly trudge oil across
the course to where their balls are.
but they have to spend some time
looking for thenn. But they are de
termined that they will not give the
caddies the additional 1"> wits. The
caddies haug around the edge of the
?;*mrse an* wink ami smile at
other. Tt's great sport to them to
watch tlic,cr> men carry their own hags
and do their own caddyi.ng.

The cabbage rush is in full sway,
ii|? Hamburg way. Trucks from the
South ('ai\>lina towns, from Atlanta,
Allien*, Augusta. Jacksonville, Ma
ami, ( liaii.iiiooua, Nashville, Biriu
i-ijrliam. aiir oilur cities of the South
are making their annual pilgrimage,
in increasing numbers, to the Han^
btuy section, ;o buy the huge
cabbage crop, ami to transjwrt it to
the market. The cabbage, by the
hundreds or' tons, are leaving Ilam
!i>: amazing total of dollars is being
left in Hamburg and Mountain, in
the poekvts of the cabbage growers.
What, a few years ago, was a mi
>i a! fair, ha* now become one of
bnig, day by day, and incidentally,
the really >>ig industries of this coun
ty. The trucking industry has
grown to gnater proportions than
a. iy. ic would have imagined; and the
more the iiu'ustry grows, the greater
| the product ion, the easier it has prov
ed to market the crops. The fame of
.. ' -'J* ' a'des , especially cab
l au. . ha- si H, ad throughout the
South, and t In- numerous trucks, load
ed to capacity, are going out of Ham
burg daily.
The growers are receiving from 00
cents to 90 cents a hundred f>ounds at
the cabbajr' patch, and the price is
from 00 cents Jo $1.50, when the
growers use their own trucks and
haul their products to the markets.
#200, $25(1 ,i'iid up to $500 an acre
return from cabbage is not unusual,
and the vegetable has become stand
% idi-/.cd so that they are easy to
grade and are uniform for the mar
kets.
Nowhere do vegetables grow better
than in that part of Jackson count}', .
from the top of tin1 Cullowhcc Moun
tain south, and the ITaluburg cabbage"
is the finest product grown anywhere^
It is a conservative estimate that
One Hundred Thousand Dollars will
be left in the hands of Ihe cabbage
growers of Hamburg for this year's
crop.
Experiments have been in progress
in Hamburg with vegetables other
than the staple cabbage, jKjtatoea an?t
beans; and they have proved most
satisfactory. Cauliflower grows amaz
ingly well, j.iiij the Hamburg pro<luet
sells for 12c a ]>ound. One man, with
an experimental patch, this year, on
a little patch of ground, some twenty
feet square, produced all that he and
his neighbors could eat, and then sold
what the community couldn't con
same for $20.00 at the patch.
Heal estate values have increased
i;i Hamburg, as a result of the growth
of the I nicking industry, which is
i just in its infancy. A grower can get
more per acre for his cabbage, in one
year, than the land would have sold
for, a few years ago.
There is no depression in Hamburg.
The laud that is suitable to the best
degree for 'lie trucking industry is a
part of Mountain township, part of
River, upp -r Canev Fork, all of Ham
burg and Canada, and part of Cash
ier's Valley. Here indeed is an indus
*ry that has hi en tried. The people
know what <an be done, and with
such an asset as this great trucking
region, Jackson can easily become the
wealthiest ;,?ri( altural region in
Western North Cavqfinai It w doubt

as well as haw those of the tmck
farmers of Man burg. Expanded to its
full capae'tv, there is no factory, no
electric plant, no industry that could

be worth any where near as much to
? lie county as a whole, and to the na
tive people of the soil in particular,
as the trucking industry that the
Hamburg ??iti/ens have developed in
recent years.
