ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI Judge Bryson Speaks At Public Gathering About Proposed Park ♦ - Says the Beauty Spot of Western North Carolina Should Be Preserved for Coming Generations. INDUSTRY NEEDS THE MOUNTAINS If Forests Are Cut Down Streams Will Lose Pow er—The Drive Here Will Start Monday. Tile beauties and grandeurs of the Great Smoky Mountains were pictur ed eloquently Friday night in a mass meet in* at the fount House in the !n --terest of the proposed National Park, j An audience cf only medium size listened to L. W. Sprague, campaign director, gave the plana which had been formulated for making this one of the most pppular playgrounds of the East; they heard..fudge T. I>. Bryson as he spoke of its magnificence and went further to show that the prosperity of the Piedmont was de pendent on those mountains; they heard Judge John M. Oglesby declare that he believed he could tell Judge Bryson's people that Cabarrus Coun ty had "gone over the top.” At the conclusion of the speeches, Joe F. Cannon, who heads the local committee, adnounced that the cam paign to raise the $7,000 allotted to Cabarruß county would begin Mon day morning when the teams were to canvass the city. He asked the peo ple to make this county the first in the Piedmont to subscribe its quota. Mr. Sprague, in telling of the move ment to raise a half million dollars in North Carolina and a like sum in Tennessee to purchase the 050,000 acres of mountain land in the Smokies, gave a brief historical sketch of the movement. He told how. after eight months of earnest nnd faithful search, the com mission appointed by the government had decided that the outstanding part of Eastern America was the Great Smoky Mountains. While they .recom mended the Shenandoah Valley park p.ldo. they 1 gave precedence to the North Carolina and Tennessee terri tory.. .. -There ore, Mr. Sprague pointed out, seventeen -national parks West "of the tis Sklidred million sos the Cnited States' inhabi tants reside, there are no parks. Last season, two million people visited the parks in the west. The movement to secure a park for the East has been underway for some time and a Fed eral Commission was appointed to in vestigate the mountains. They were astonished, said the speaker, at the Great Smokies. Among its wonders, he added, were the fact that the greatest variety of shrubs and flowers in the United States grow there. There are 137 va riety of trees. Twenty-£ight varie ties of orchids were discovered. Plans for itq developmest are now being formulated. A skyline drive, over a mile high, is projected for the length of the park, which will, accord ing to people who have visited the place, have nothing in the world to compare with it. Other roads will be built. Nature's wonders will be pre served nnd conserved. No hotels are to be built, but rest camps are to be constructed. It was estimated, by Mr. Sprague, that in the practically year-round park in the Smokies, over a million people would visit it each year. The govern ment’s expenditure o' 15 million dol lars to put it in shape would attract at least that number annually. The only cost to the people of. North Car olina would be Cost of, buying the land. The campaign has been successful in the mountains thus far, it was shown. Buncombe county has raised Other counties have gone "over the top.” Mr. Sprague said that he hoped be could tell the people of Meoklenburg that this county bad raised its quota when be started work there next week. Judge Bryson, presented by L. T. Hart sell, declared that the question of “ the establishment of a park in our State amUTennesßee is now before the people of North Carolina. Unless the North Carolina people act, the other people of the United States will'hot act.” The appointment of the committee to study the park question was then discussed. “These men,” said Judge Bryson; “were all nature lovers, men advancing in life. . They were in structed to make an effort to discover whether 'there was an area of domi nant scenic beauty that could take a place 8h one of our national parka. They found 'it and one-half of this beautiful region belongs to you.” The Western parks, said the speak er, were forntgd from lands whiefy were owned by the United States. There Was no precedent *>r the pur chase of goverfament land. For that reason, it was necessary to have • campaign to raise the pur chase of this land. Starting in the western part of the State, those people have done all they could to raise the money and now ap peal to the other people in the state to assist them. > As a business proposition, a park would be of great financial assistance to the state. North Carolina exacts, said the jurist, a four cent tax on each gallon of gasoline.

McLean gave the State Newspaper Institute a pleasant sur prise this morning. Unheralded, tie came over from Rnieigh to pay his re spects to the gathering, as he ex plainrtl. He had previously found it necessary to decline an invitation to address the meeting, and it wits only this morning that he found he would be able to do so. The governor had no formal ad dress, but he took the occasion to discuss some problems that had been occupying the attention of the ad ministration recently. Referring to the faet that there was some doubt as to his financial policies when he came into office, he said he thought that fjese policies had been fully vin dicated by the sane progress made by the state since then. He said lie thought the present financial policy of the state administration had been largely responsible for the, recent quick sale of bomb, which .he said, have already been absorbed by the investing public in record breaking time. He referred to Hie “groundless charge that North Carolina had re pudiated some of its old reconstruc tion bonds.” • He recalled that such a charge is usually revived by some outsiders every time the state gets |dt4y«t*-«Cer a-new bond Issue. This ought to be regarded a* a closed in cident, he said. “Tb* word repudiated is entirely inaccurate,” he said. “The special tax bonds were never recognized by the state because there never was any legal or moral responsibility to pay them.” He said that in the January num bers of the Current History Maga zine he had answered a criticism of the state regarding these bonds which appeared in that same issue. He did not share the fear that the state would have to pay these bonds if America joined the world court. No fairly constituted court would ever hold these bonds to be valid, he said. The governor thanked the press for its co-operation. He wanted the news paper men to know that an under standing of the policies he is trying to put into effect is essential to the success of these policies. Speaking in a jocular vein, he ad mitted he had not yet quite learned the physcnology of newspaper work. He said, for instance, that he could not quite understand why such a com monplace thing as his chauffeur get ting fined for speeding should attract so much reportoidal and editorial at tention throughout the* state. He said that recently he had been trying to do some things to improve forestry and agriculture, and yet he has not got half the publicity on those things as on the chauffeur incident. The Overman reservation to the world court protocol is not necessary for the protection of North Carolinn against the repudiated recohstruction bonds. Governor McLean told the in stitute, taking a -position contrary to tbe state's junior senator and indi cating that his reservation was not only unnecessary but undesirable. The action of North Carolina is re : pudiating the. old bonds of reconstruc - tion day will stand up in any court • in the world, Governor McLean de • dared he believed. The people of 1 North Carolina were not in control ; of the state government at the time the bonds were issued, and they would , not be held responsible for them. The | bonds were supposed to be used large . ly for the construction of railroads, , but not a mile of rail was laid: . The governor did not mention Sen . a tor Overman by name in his address, . nor did he offer any criticism, merely , taking a contrary position. He told newspaper men afterward that the | junior senator was, of course, acting for what he considered the best in terests. of' the state. He, however, considered it unwise * to bring tbe repudiated bonds forward * as an Issue in connection with the " world court proposal. 1 AutmoMllata Exact Toll of life a Day in North Carolina.
