~ The Fr*nklin PreM and The Highlands Macotutn God's Choice Continued From Editorial Past Thy will in this crisis of our history. Amen." George Washington, our first President, who prayed in the snow at Valley Forge, said, "The event Is in the hands of God." When the tide of battle was un favorable, he said, "How will it end? God will direct." When the leaders of our country assembled to write the Constitution, it was proposed by Benjamin Franklin that each session be opened with prayer, RADIO And Small Appliance SALES AND SERVICE GUARANTEED INSTALLATION City Radio Shop ALLEN O ROW AY, Mgr. for said he, "I have lived a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proof I' see of this truth ? that God governs the affairs of men. And If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice. Is It probable that an empire can rise without His aid?" Each individual must have an open mind on which Ood may impress His will. Through our prayers we will receive a clear unmistakable conviction that one particular personality Is God's man for this crisis. The Bible promises guidance when it says, "He will guide thee by His counsel." Will you undertake the daily prayer crusade for the coming election? ?Reprinted from Guideposts, monthly magazine published at Pawling, N. Y.

PERSONAL -By WEIMAR JONES ? Continued From Page 2 The derby dramatized Mr. Barnard and his contagious en thusiasm, and he and the hat were the subjects of comment in newspapers all over the state. At Mr. Page's request, the derby finally was sent to Raleigh to become a memento, In the high way commission office, of the recovery of another "lost Prov ince" to North Carolina. Before the opening of the Dillsboro-Franklin highway, Ma con County truly had been a lost North Carolina province; because, until the road between here and Dillsboro was paved, Maconites did most of their travel into and through Geor gia, via the Tallulah Falls Rail way. If a person in or near Frank lin wished to go to middle or eastern North Carolina, he usu ally caught the train in Frank lin, went to Cornelia, Ga., and then took a Southern Railway train that took him through Greenville and Spartanburg, S. C., and back into North Caro lina. It was not uncommon, even in going to Asheville, to go via Georgia and South Car olina. Otherwise, a person going from here to Asheville and points east had to travel a dirt road, via mail hack, from here to Dillsboro, a trip that often required seven hours, and one that meant departure from Franklin (in winter, at least ? at 4 a. m.! At Dillsboro, he caught the Murphy-Asheville train. For people living in High lands, the usual way of travel was by mail hack to Dillard, Ga., over a road that crossed the North Carolina-Georgia state line some three times. (It was a game, with summer tour ists, to try to keep up with which state they were :n as they drove from Dillard to Highlands.) Since the mail service be tween Asheville and Macon County in the old days was much slower than that be tween Atlanta and Macon, this county was virtually a part of Georgia in communications other than travel. Most persons who read daily newspapers read papers published in Atlanta, and Georgia politics was the subject of heated discussion here, whereas what was going on in other parts of North Carolina seemed almost as re mote as if it were happening in Kentucky or Florida. All this was changed by a good roads program ? North Carolina's first of major im portance. And all this change has come about in just a little more than a quarter of a century. How the "world do move"! News Makings Continued From Editorial Page foreign aid? should give our boys military training or not? Yet they will, however spend hours saying how poorly the government is run . If they could take 10 minutes of the time they spend cussing the government and go vote the government would be better managed. Certainly it would more nearly express the senti ment of the people. Recently, there has been an increased tendency to be critic al of the English. They have one record which we might strive to better. In the last elec tion in England better than 85 per cent of the eligible voters cast their ballot. Certainly in .recent years we haven't voted 50 per cent of the voters. The tragedy of the matter is that you are the main person who suffers when you don't vote. You aren't saving the gov ernment any money by not voting. It costs the same amount practically to set the machinery up for a small vote as a large one. There are several damaging things you are doing however. Chiefly among these is the fact that you are making it possible for self seekers to control elec tion. That is those who wish for an election to go a certain way for their own personal gain or prestige find it much easier to control an election since they have to control a smaller num ber of votes. To the people in Macon Coun ty I would like to say, wheth er you are Democrat or Repub lican, get out and vote. "This fall let's turn out such a vote that which ever way the elec tion goes we can say that the decisions at the polls represent ed the true voice of the people.
