Tuesday, July 21, 1936 Great Smoky Mountains Park Ihe C.reat Smoky Mountains National Park in western N'orih C arolina constitutes one of our great c -t KMta, Wording to the ojiinion of many, it will bring millions of dollars annually from tourists who visit the |>ark. Back in 1890. some progressive North Carolinians and Tennesseeans saw the need for a national park in that section of the South, and Senator J C. Pritch C ril had a lull |?a-ed through the United Slates Sen ate authorizing the ap|iropriation of $10,(XX),000 for the purpose of creating a (sirk there. But when the bill reached the House of Re|>resentative, Old Man Ine Cannon, who always hated North Carolina, had the whole project defeated, although President Theo dore Roosevelt advocated its passage. The project then lay dormant until 1923, when it was revived, and land for the Mount Pisgah, Nantahala and other national jiarks in Western North Carolina was pur chased. In 1926 an art was passed authorizing the purcha-e of 427.000 acres of the (Ireat Smoky Moun tain Country, which is the highest land east of the Mississippi River, with the exception of Mount Mit chell. and c ordains at least lb peaks more than a mile high. Clingmans Dome, in this area, is only 40 feet lower|than Mount Mitchell. This great national park is covered, for the most part, with virgin forest which has never been touched with an axe, and much of which the foot of man has never trod More than 1.50 different species of hard wood trees have la-en catalogued and the largest vir gin forest of red spruce in America is to be found there (iak maple, bass, cedar, pine, walnut, ash, cherrwy. mahogany, sycamore, butternut and poplar abound throughout these mountains. Even after all the legal machinery had been pro dded. it looked as if the project might fail for want Of funcb. The North Carolina legislature and that of Tennessee provided about half of the $10,000,000 necessary, which left the Park Commission in debt 55,000,000. The Park Commission of the United Stales then got in touch with John D. Rockefeller, jr.. who agreed to give the other $5,000,000 necessary to complete the park on the condition that a memor ial tablet be erected and dedicated to his mother, Mrs. Taura Spellman Rockefeller. It will require about a half million dollars more to complete the purchase of the land set aside for the P?rk The park highway work is being done mostly by etc workers. The Sky Highway, from New Pound tlap to Clingmans Dome, a distance of 7 miles, cost $7,000,000 and is a delightful drive in every particu lar. It is the highest road east of the Rocky Moun Mtaa. ? ' ?' In 1838 the United States CJovernmenl set out to colunize the Cherokee nation of Indians in Oklahoma, but a large number of them escaped to the wilds of the Great Smoky Mountains, where they have lived and multiplied to this day, continuing their ancient games and customs, and continuing the use of bows and arrows and blow-guns, with which they are today very proficient. These Indians now have good schools and educational advantages. However, they seem to enjoy their old customs and ancient haunts more than they do the new civilization. Although the better educated ones are very agreeable and apparently hap py, some of them present a very sulky appearance with a savage look on their faces. Their principal occupation is farming, which is done on a very small scale. They also get a little timber and they are great fishermen, which not only serves as one of their chief sports but also furnishes much of their food. A Dangerous Political Trend By James M. Pemy A dangerous trend in the United States, and one that portends evil days ahead, if permitted to con tinue, is the tendency of discarded or defeated and ultra-ambitious politicians to burlesque and treat light ly the grave matters of government; and even blat antly and unblushingly criticize the chief executive and his legislative policies, however humanitarian, corrective and designed for the general welfare of the majority' ol our people. They are the sort who often wink at exploitation, avarice, and unfair competition and cheer wildly and laugh loudly at the Jesting an tics of the uncouth extremists, a method the cultural life of America should never condone, and with min gled disdain and forbearance should even reluctantly tolerate. The tragedy of it is, it may come from senate floor, governor's mansion, from the ward politician, and it may be even shielded by the perverted and corrupted robes of priestly immunity. Not so long ago a man stood in the Capital City and engaged in studied humorous generalities and sarcastic, insidious insinu-< ations, with little capacity for the appreciation of the imflions of fanners and laborers whose hornethatP~ been saved, and whose children had been provided bread, clothes, and books by a generous Government, whose custodians he was so unmercifully berating. The air has been fouled and many credulous and honest-hearted citizens have been befooled by such buffoonery and undvil political tactics. Often times they are men who have been highly honored, respect ed and trusted by the people whom they now oppos. This tragic trend must not go unrebuiced by the champions of civil liberty and human security, and by the education, refined and responsible citizens of this great nation. Not that we would in any way abridge the right of free speech or the freedom of the press,, but. we do affirm that a man who is worthy of honor in this democracy should have the culture and grace to oppose with vigor and fight With dignity on every issue in every campaign. A man who by temperament, intellect and culture is disqualified can not expect the informed citizens of the state and na tion to violate their sacred obligation of franchise in" his behalf. How Thai Won Hertford County Herald Some folks have been wondering how Thad Kure came from behind in the first primary to win by a , handsome majority in the second. That is easy. We know exactly the reason; for we told him how to do it ourselves and he took our advice. He used weekly newspaper advertising to get his name and his face before the voters, and weekly newspaper advertising brought him results?and the nomination. This new fangled business of candidates for offioe paying a lot of good money to talk 10 or IS minutes over the radio sounds big and the candidates themselves may get a big kick out of it, but there are mighty few folks out in the country where the votes are that will listen even to a speech by the President. But they sit down every week with th county paper and read it from "cover to cover. So, in the second primary, Thad spent this advertising money where it would count. He s|>ent his ajtpeal for votes into the homes of the peo ple of the State by advertising in the weekly news papers. So his winning is nothing to wonder about; it was just a matter of picking the right advertising' medium. ICE CREAM AND STAMPS FOR sale. Water free and ice water. Business is food. P. P.

PEEL SEE MAIN VOTE BATTLES IN THE EAST - MIDWEST! Threat of Party Bpltera In| -Sections of This State Adding Interest Generally well pleased with the Democratic administration* and with other thing* such as the re cent gubernatorial mud-slinging contest to listen to, people in this section have given little thought to the general election now a little over three months away. But now with reports claiming there is a threat of bolting by some Demo crats in some communities of this county and State and with the Re publicans claiming advantages in national spots, the old November election might attarct some atten tion and create a bit of interest in this neck of the woods after all. And don't forget the Republicans are making one big fight, and while North Carolina and the South are considered sewed up and already in the bag for the Democratic nominee, it does not mean there'll be easy sailing for the party in every other section of the country. The party conventions and what has followed go a long way toward confirming that the presidential campaign will rise to great intensi ty in certain special sectors of the east and midwest. The Democrats are assuming that Roosevelt wil have the Solid South, and the Republicans are taking it for granted that Landon will enjoy his greatest vote-getting power in the West. It is the stretch from the Missis slppi to the~Atlantic seaboard, north of Mason and Dixon's line, where each side now seems bent on pick ing up enough additional votes to tip the balance and assure the elec tion of its candidate one day next November. Not that either side is conceding anything elsewhere. Certainly the Democrats, who not long ago were counting the west a rather definite part of their electoral nest-egg, hard ly will give up plans for gn aggres sive campaign there. Similarly, the Republicans, aware of the open rest lessness of some southern Demo crats under Roosevelt, may be ex pected to try again to break the South as they did* In 1928. But a theory taking all of these things into account, and transcend ing them, still points to the east and midwest as the scene of the principal shooting. (. . ?Tliis tlieuiy, un the Democratic side, Is that if Roosevelt were to lose the South, there would be no hope for him anyway. On the Republican side, the reasoning takes the form of a supposition that if Landon can't carry the West, he might as well quit. The indications now point to four states as special possibilities for high-pressure campaigning. They are New York, Pennsylvania, Illi nois and Indiana. Together, these four states have almost half enough votes to elect a president.
