embrace about 1,200 square miles, fol
lowing the Great Smoky divide be
tween Tennessee and North Carolina,
and to contain within its borders
I mountain- peaks having the higest av
erage altitude anywhede in the east.
It is said that it will also contain the
largest single area of virgin timber
in eastern America.
The indifference, or opposition,
which was at first manifest, has en
tirely disappeared throughout the
western part of the state, it is said,
and enthusiasm for the park is grow
'ing rapidly. leading lumber com
panies operating the section are giving
the plan their support, it is stated.
Lumbermen are quoted,as saying that
there remains sufficient timber in
western North Carolina, in addition
to the area to be embraced by the
The Great Smoky Mountain area is
said to contain the greatest variety of
wild flora and fauna anywhere in the
southeast, as well as striking scenic
beauty. The average altitude of the
section proposed for park purposes
is said to exceed o,oofl feet, many
peaks running up even higher.

Morrison Threat to Come Back
May Yet Be Serious Matter
Tom Host in Greensboro News.
\ -Washington, Aug. 2t>.— “About this i
Morrison threat to come back,” said <
a visitor here from the state today.
‘‘Jt- may turn out to be 4 serious
natter for Max Gardner and his
Mends in 1928. You kti6w Gardner
has- morally been promised the gov
ernorship then. Even the so-called :
Simmons machine has tentatively
committed itself to the fortunes of i
the Shelby man but the report is: 1
Widespread in the state now that!
Gardner has morally forfeited the:
right to indorsement by his party be-1 1
of the “dark lantern methods” I
he is alleged to have employed to 'kill <
off' Motrisoit.
“‘Leading Morrison politicians in the
state are at this moment engaged in
discussing a ‘plot’ or a ‘conspiracy’
the.t call it. by, Gardner and his
friends to eliminate the former gov
ernor forever from public life. Ac
cording to report the -so-called con
spiracy was concoeted in a room at
the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel during i
the recent session of the legislature,
the principal plotters being Max
Gardner, John G. Dawson. Senator :
Burgywn and Senator Giles. Sub
sidiary forces were also employed in
the Raleigh ‘press hounds' and the
scheme was to brand -Morrison with
his deficit as 'the most extravagant,
wasteful and inefficient governor’ the
strtte had ever had. McLean's econ
nu|V program was to be played up at
fhV salne ttimo as a shining contrast.
Overplay the Game.
“According to the views of inde
pendent observers Gardner and his.
friends have overplayed the game and
a ground swell reaction of popularity
has set in in behalf of the governor.
The young Shelby lawyer is in turn
being severely criticized as having
used his position of influence and pow
er as a lobbyist before the legislature
in be(inlf of big corporations. He is
charged with having made SIOO,OOO in
this sort of work at the recent session,
and his friend, John G. Dawson,
chairman of the Democratic state ex
ecutive committee, is reported to have
duplicated Air. Gardner's fees in the
same sort of business,
"If Gardner is a candidate for gov
ernor in the primary election three
years hence, it is predicted that Mor-

THE legislation which wrought
this ruin was not of the
navy’s making.
It was the work of a Con
gress ip Washington of whoso
members few can And the Virgin
Islands on the map, without hunt
ing, and some of whom probably
never heard of them.
The distant Danish government
took an interest in the Virgin group
and its people, shaped its policies
in their interest and turned them
over to the fJnited States as a
thriving colony. This country put
them under tho.charge of a naval
governor and forgot them—and
1 the governor, too.
rison i« certain to be his opponent,
and the former governor's friends de
clare his victory will be a crusliing
vindication of his position in the tight
that is now bciDg made on him. Mor
rison’s friends all over the state are
up in arms over what they call a
•conspiracy to assassinate his good
name as a public man.’
"Some of Morrison’s friends have
mildly criticized Governor McLean for
not openly taking a stand in behalf
of his precedessor. The governor
has privately explained that he is as
staunch a friend as ever to Morrison
but be does not conceive of it as part
of his, business as governor to take
part in the controversy, which has de
veloped into a personal issue between
Morrison and Gardner.
Seeks Vindication.
“It is now known by some of his
friends that Morrison would greatly
prefer to vindicate himself before, the i
state as a candidate for tho seat In
the senate now held by Senator Over
man but that is honorably impossible
for him to do unless Senator Over
man agrees to retire. Before he re
tired from the governorship lie agreed
not to oppose Senator Overman and
the senator is emphatically unwilling
to retire. Mr. Morrison’s friends say
that he can not long remain out of
public life or at least he must soon ■
renew tlie effort to get back in and
the only opening is the governorship
iir 1928.
“The former governor can not peace
fully anil contentedly settle down ia
Charlotte to law practice. His ev
ery thought and emotion are of poii-c
ties and the business of the public.
Gardner, knowing Morrison's disposi
tion. bail foreseen tfie possible danger
of 1928 but he ought to have been
good enough politician to know that
men like Morrison thrive on opposi
tion and especially the opposition that
can be designated as a ‘conspiracy.’
If Max Gardner wants to be governor
lie ought to have let Cam Morrison
severely alone or heaped flattery upon
him as the ’greatest governor the state
has ever had.' Instead he has had
the audacity to try to hamstring one
of the greatest public egotists in the
country and if he fails to become gov
ernor of North Carolina it will be his
own fault.”
Jews from all parts of the United
States are meeting in Philadelphia
next month to plan financing their
brethren in Russia.
