RHINEHART ON TRIAL ON PERJURY CHARGE Frank T. Rihineharf, former Jack son county teacher, went on trial here yesterday morning, charged with per jury, in connection with tihe trial, held in January 1934, in which Jueftioes of the Peace John H. Morns land B. 0. Painter held that there was no prob able cause in the charge brought by Khineliurt that War field Turpin, Dock Turpin and Alley Turpin, and other IK-iison.s unknown to him had kidnap - pwl him, held him prisoner from Fri day night until early Sunday morning, and .had mistreated, abused and tor tured him in various ways during that time. After the release off the Turpina in the justices' court, ..a bill against Rhinohart was obtained before the grand jury, charging hiirfc with per jury in his testimony during the trial.

Galloway, Dave Cog gins, Inglchard Cojje, Hanse Pressley, and VV. A. Hooper. The case is attracting a great deal of attention, as the original kidnap ping charge was sensational. When the case was called, Mr. J. X. Moody, senior council for the de fense, objected to either the sheriff or the clerk of tihe court calling talis men into the jury box, and Judge Rosseau appointed M. D. Cowan to the task. This was a most onnS^al procedure, in fact the first time tfRt court attaches remember it to n*ve ; .? Jft been asked in a Jackson county owftt. The perjury charge is also a most in usual one in our court At the February qpurt was convicted of wilful injury -to an automobile belonging Jo Chief of Po lice Jlames A.

Terrell We noticed in a recent Journal the fact that there was complaint in Qual la about the condition of some of our roads in this section. While pait of the mail route is .*o muddy at times as to delay the mail for hours, other roads there should have been a mail route years ago, are iu such condition as to make car travel (or any other kid of travel) almost impossible for weeks and sometime* months at a time. We are reminded of rlie man who said, while praying, "I have been knocking ait mercy's door for a lontj time without avail, ndw I 'm going to alam". So have ye been asking for a long time of those in authority to make ns a deeeut road te get to the higtaray , churches and school, but with no avail, so we feel that it is about in order to begin tu "slam".

The Judges were Dr. W. C. Tompkins, Prof. R. L. Madison and Mr. H. C Com. The suggestion to construct a tele phone line from here to some point as f?r up the river as possible has been roeeived with such favor as to demon strate the fact that almost a sufficient amount to build and equip the line a * far as Cullowhee, via Webster, is ready, and all that is needed now is a little enefgetic action on the part of the friends of the enterprise. Tele phones are cheap and a small amount invested will prove of great convcn ? ience and profit to the section pro posed to be reached. Let's get the! line started and lengthen Lt as occas ion offera , One of the worst pieces of road in i thin or any other county is that just below E. D. Davis', on the main . thoroughfare between the county seat the iteilroad stations and the upper part of the county? that part which comprises the laiger portion of the ' territory and population of the coiui-: ty. This section of road ha* been a terror to 'travellers and its continu ance in an almost impassible condition has been a disgrace to our civilization. At the recent term of court Judge . Graham, in iuipr^ring sentence was . particular to stipulate that the pris j oners of the county should be worked i on the public roads. Attention was at * one* given to this had place and a great improvement has already been i made. If the wort shall be continued | until the road is placed out of roach i of the river when it overflows, the : people of the county will find the money invested in the board of the i prisoners thus engaged will be well spent, and what is now, not only a rough, but dangerous place turned into a first elass section of road with an ! : everlasting foundation. Hart man's Registered whiskey dis ' itillery at Hoffman has been seized by i the revenue officials for alleged viola | tions of the law. I Gov. Carr appointed the following | delegates from STorth Carolina to the | Mexican Exposition which begins next lApril: Frank Coxe, F. Brevard Mc j Dowell, Fred A. Olds and William J. ? Andrews. t i On account of the severe cold aivd i snow in the Smoky mountains, be [ 1 tween this State and Tennessee, one thousand bead of cattle belonging to farmers and cattle raisers, which had been taken to the mountains a month ago to graze, were driven back into | the coves last Friday. There has been j from two to flour indies of snow in the mountains all of last week and the j eattle were almost starved. They ! will be kept in the com until spring j eomes again. Raleig-h. May 22 ? Capus M. Way nick today informed the United Press that Highway No. 106 from Cullowhee to Cashier's Valley, has "a good chace for completion under the new highway program. " " Something def i j nite will be done about this highway ' \ he said. The commissioner believel that pr?.> ]>ects are favorable for completion of the highway among projects to be launched soon in President Roosevelt '4 emergency construction program. With the appropriation from feder al funds of nine million and some odil thousands of dollars to the State Highway and Public Works Commis sion for road construction in North Carolina, there should be little in the way of at last letting the contracts for immediate completion of Highway 106 from Tuckaseigee to the South Carolina line. Nine million dollars is a lot of | taoney, and will build much road. The j completion of 106 isn 't such a huge ?task. The facts, as remembered by the writer, are here restated for the benefit of everybody: 106 was the first rood asked to be I built in Jackson county, 15 or more years ago, when the State Highway Commission was mapping out the roads to be constructed by the first fifty million dollar bond issue. It is the last throaigh highway, connecting county seat with county seat, or with another state, left in the county to be completed. 106 has always been considered by the people of Jackson county and by their authorities, as their most im ]>ortant highway. Jackson county made a donation of $350,000 to the State to apply on the j grading of 106 to the High Falls Gap. ! I>ater, the county loaned the Stale j Highway Commission the : 11m of half a million dollars with the express pui pose of securing the completion of thi.i highway. The money was spent on IKrving from Cullowhee to Tuckasei gee and in paving High way No. 10 from Balsam to Sylva. Jlr. James G. Stikcleather, then Highway Commis sioner, publicly made the statement to the people of Jackson county, hi mass meeting assembled, that :f the loan should be made, the construction work on Highway 106 would never stop until it was completed. It was with his understanding, and upon this solemn promise of the Highway Commissioner, that the people of this county petitioned their governing body to make the loan, and yet 100 is still to be completed. As a pari of its plan for the d e velopment of the park area, tlx* Great Smoky Mountains Advisory Commit tee,, composed of representatives of chambers of commerce and civic bod ies of this area, put 106 as second only in importance, of all the object ives for the development of the park area, and to make the jwrk of the greatest value to North Carolina. The first objective thus recommended has been attained. And yet KM] is still (o be completed. The same committee, meeting in Bryson City on January 1 of this year, reiterated its jiosition regarding the importance it attache* to 106. The people of this county have been bearing heavy taxation burdens incur red by reason of the loans and do nations referred to above. If they had back the money they haye ]>aid out in interest on money for the securing of which the credit' of the county was pledged in their efforts to secure the construction of 106, they could build their own Toad with the interes-t mon ey and have to ask little aid from the ?State towards its construction. The Journal again issues the chal lenge, which we are sure will stand the test of any honest census, that today and everyday, 106, in its incom plete condition, bears more traffle thlan any highway in this part of the ( State, that is or oould be considered for construction out of the nine and one half million dollars. In fact, it carries more traffic than many high ways that are completed. j 106 is the only possible salvation for Jackson county to secure its part of the benefits of the traffic to and through the Great Smoky Mountains (Continued on Page 2)
